TEMPERANCE COLLEGE.

The Examination of this thriving Institution
came off on Friday, he30th June, to the entire
satisfaction of its Patrons, and the community
The young men and boys reflected great credit
both on themselves and their Teachers. The
proficiency that the Scholars have made in the
various branches oftheir studies, proves, conclu,
sively, that the system adopted by the Teachers
to impart instructions are not surpassed by any
gave abundant evidence of the wisdom of the
Grand Division of East Tennessee, in establish
ing this Institution upon purely Temperance
Principles; and they also showed the good for
tune of the Trustees in procuring the services of
such competent Teachers of Mr.. JAS. o. PATTON
and Mr. S. D. MILES. "But them sweet Boys,
as was exclaimed by a Lady!
At night, an invitation was given to all who
might choose to come to an Exhibition to com.
mence at 8 o'clock, and the people assembled,
behold quite anumber of small Boys were noun
ted on the Stage, who were to lead off in the
speaking, and when they were called upon, they
followed one after another, and delivered each
his speech, with such undaunted courage, and
decision of character that it both astonished
and delighted the audience. The style of their
delivery, the subjects that they had chosen; all
impressed it on the minds of every Spectator,
that Boys should be taught the very things that
they should practice when they become men.
After the boys had finished, the young men
delivered some good Speeches, that they had
memorized, on some we'll selected subject and
the Exercises closed with display of the
Magic Lantern, by Jas. o. Patton Principal.

FARMERS.

Adam was farmer while yet in Paradise
and afterhis fall, commanded to earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow.
Job, the honest upwright and patient, was g
farmer and his endurance has passed into pro-
verb.
Socrates was farmer, and yet welded tc
his calling the glory of his immortal philoso
ply.
st. Luke was farmer, and divides with
Prometheus the honor of subjecting the OK fol
the use of man.
Cincinnatus was farmer, and the noblest
Roman of them all.
Burns was farmer, and the Muse found him
at the plow, and filled his soul with poetry.
Washington was farmer and retired from
the highest earthly station to enjoy the quiet
Of rural life, and present to the world a specta
Gle of human greatness.
To these may be added host of others who
sought peace and repose in the cultivation o.
their mother earth; the enthusiastic Lafayette
the steadfast Pickering, the scholastic Jeffer
son, the fiery Randolph, all found an Eldoradc
of consolation from life's cares and troubles, il
the green and verdant lawns that surrounded
their homesteads.

ImprOVem ents in Tables.

We have before US two sets of specification
relating to these important domestic appliances
One of these has been sent in by J.W. Mahans
of Lexington, ILL.,, the other by T. G. Brown
of Norwich Conn. The frst-named inventor
claims to have combination of capacities in
the inanimate dining table, whereby the ordi
nary need ofhuHan service may be entirely dis
pensed with during these interesting atten
tionS to the inner man, classed as breakfasts
dinners and suppers. In plain terms, he pro
poses a dining table which shall wait on ITSELF
while keeping at bay all those annoying inter
mixers known-as house flies.
The other specification referred to, (Mr
Brown's) presents plan for the construction Of
table materials. He uses glass plate for a
slab, which he places in a frame in which there
is a receiving rebate. By covering the side Of
his slab with variety of transparent and re
hecting substances, such as fish scales, broken
glass, smalt, &c. mixed in oil, and applying
coatings of copal or other transparent varnish
he Stimulates variegated surface which he de-
scribeS as of rare beauty. Leaf metals may al
so be used where it is desirable to give tables
or other furniture manufactured in this way, a
more costly ornamental finish Sci. Amer.

Mr.. CRITTENDEN.--In their remarks upon
the Ward trial, some of the papers have asked
with sneer whether John j. Crittenden would
volunteer to defend the son ofa poor man. A
correspondent of the Louisville Journal says,
this reminded him of the following incident
connected with that gentleman, whilst actin 6
as Governor of Kentucky:
A poor man had been fined for some misde.
meanor by the verdict of jury in the Hickman
Cirfsuit Court. To have the amount eoerced
from him, would have beggared his wife and
children. Major Robert D. Bowman, then a
resident attorney in Hickman county, addressed
the Governor in behalf of the poor fellow; and,
appealing to the friendship that for years had
existed between Crittenden and himself, be-
sought him to remit the fine. In due course Of
mail the answer came, and here it is;
"Bob-the conviction Of your client was
proper, and cannot as Governor protect him
But enclose to you the money necessary to pay
the fine, on account of your representations oi
the condition ofhis wife and children. Please
see to its proper application.

WILD MAN OF AFRICA.

There is another inhabitant Of the woods by
the Gaboon River, more to be feared than the
African boa; it is the wild man of the woods
not the ourang outang, though an immense ape
always acting on the offensive, and ready to
attack mar. / have examined them here, and
whilst contemplating the SKULL the jaws, and
their terrible apparatus, really experienced a
sort of shuddering. The canine teeth are up.
wards of two inches long, and of proportionate
bulk. There is a ridge running from the top
of the nose backwards over the crown of the
head; to this is fixed muscle, by which the
living animal draws backwards and forwards
most frightful crest of stiff hairs; when arran-
ged, or proposing to infict injury, he erects
them and draws the crest forwards over his
large eyes, and utters most hideous yells at the
same time.
Nothing seems to intimidate him. Some
times he advances with boughs of trees broken
off for the purpose of concealing his approach
and attack, and suddenly grasps the legs of q
human being, brings him instantly to the
ground, breaks his bones by blows of his Nigh
ty arms and hands, and tears the flesh by his
monstrous teeth. The native huntsman who
goes in search or meets him, whilst pursuing
less formidable animals, has learned that the
safest way to engage is to act quite on the de-
fensive; to let the monster draw near when he

mortal wound, his doom is sealed.

REMAINS OF PULASKI.

The disinterment of the remains, supposed to
be those of Count Pulaski, has rendered their
veriGcation by the testimony of tradition prop
er. From the numerous communications upon
the subject, there would seem to be no doubt
of their indentity. Count Pulaski it will be
remembered was mortally wounded at the seige
of Savannah, and was buried at Greenwich,
four miles from that city. The patriotic devo-
tons of Mr. s. Beecroft to the memory of gal
liant stranger who gave his life to foreign
cause, and received no reward but an early
grave, is very touching. We give the nara.
tige Of Mr.. Lewis
IN compliance with the request of Col. W.
= HssFen, ,abat j would furnish him with nv
recelections, and such information as posses
sedf relative to the death and burial place of
Count Pulaski, hereby state, that in the year
1914, | lived at Greenwich, in the capacity of
oyerseer and manager of Mrs Beecroft's proper.
ty. Mrs. Beecroft frequently pointed out the
spot where human remains have recently been
exhumed, under the superintendent of Col.
Bowen, as the place where Count Pulaski was
buried. Mrs. Beecroft told me that after the
seige of Savannah, Pulaski was brought to her
house, and died there; that the French troops
embarked at Greenwich after the seige. She
never spoke of the fact of his death and burial
place as at all doubtful, but always positively.
1t was her custom to keep the walk from the
garden to the grave clear and in order. aud she
informed me, this had always been her practice,
and desired me to see that it was regularly at
tended to. The grave was in the orchard and
shrubbery, near q large Palmetto tree, a few
feet from the path, and about two hundred
yards from the house. The orchard is removed
at least quarter offs mile from the burial
place of the plantation, and / never heard of
any other person being buried in the orchard
The family servants of Mrs. Beecroft, (very
intelligent negroes,) who had formed part of
her household at the time ofthe seige OF Savan.
nah, frequently made the same statements
The universal testimony of all who were there
concurred in stating that Pulaski had died in
! the house, and was buried in the orchard
These statements were made by all in the
course of ordinary conversation, and not in
consequence Of any questions to them, or from
having their minds particularly directed to the
subject by any enquiries or searches. 1t seem
ed to be considered by all as received truth,
of which there was no doubt. During the time
| resided at Greenwich, the ceremony of clear
ing the path down to PulaSki's grave was an
ordinary duty, as I.uch so as placing and keep
ing all the premises in order. Mrs. Beecroft
stated to me that she was about fourteen years
of age when the event of Pulaski's death and
burial occurred JACOB LEWIS.

SHALL WE ENDURE IT?

Shall we endure to have the Bible taken from
our schools, and burned in our midst2 To have
our citizens assaulted and beaten by foreign
military company? To have our stars and
stripes paraded, union down? To have our lee
turers hooted, in this land free speech ? To
be taunted for being men enough to affirm that
we are americans? To have our almshouses,
our hospitals, our jails, our prison, filled with
foreigners? To have our women insulted, to
to be called "cowards and the sons of towards, "
to our faces? To have our press attempted to
be stifed? And all this by horde of foreign
ers, ignorant themselves, but the tool of a base,
willy corrupt and subtle church. Americans,
will you bear it? Will you stand idle while all
this is going on-aye, while the enemy is worm
ing himselfto your very hearthstones? Arouse!
and with mighty effort drive the curse of
Catholicism from our midst. Americans must
rule."-F. e. American Patriot.

DELLA WEBSTER AGAIN.

Della Webster, the female Abolitionist, who
has been several times arraigned in Kentucky,
on charge of aiding the escape of slaves,
(she was once sent to the penitentiary, and af-
ter remaining there some time was pardoned
out by Governor Crittenden,) was again arres-
ted last week, on an old indictment. The war
rant found her $50 pery sick that she could not
be removed" from her lodgings, and guard of
three men was selected to remain, tend and
watch her. One of the papers says the
guard "slept at their posts, or were careless or
were seduced"-at any rate Miss Webster es-
capped, on some secret branch of the under
ground railroad leaving the guard to watch an
empty house. 1t is said aparty of men from
the other side of the State line, in Indiana, were
her rescuers; they having suddenly crossed over
into Kentucky for the purpose, and escaped
the vigilance of the guard. She appears to
have very suddenly recovered her health.
