PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF soME Exc
LIsH AUTHORS AND STATEsMEN-DI IsRAELI.-
The Hon, Benjamin D'Israeli IS in his fifty
first year. In person he is tall, rather thin,
with Jewish cast of features, dark counte.
nance, and heavy, full, swimming eyes, bent
either In meditation or vacancy. He dresses
dashlly-affects superb wastcoats, has plenty
OF jewelry about his person-and does not look
altogether "the gentleman" He seems Jew
to his very finger nails. Mosaic to his watch,
chain. His long black cork screw eurls are
kept IN admirable order; and one of the signs
OF a disposition on his part to rise and address
the House. Is sort OF nervous arrangement of
those "luxuriant ringlets," first with one hand
then with the other. His attitudes as he
speaks, are not gainly; sometimes he puts his
arms akimbo-so sometimes he places his thumbs
IN the arm-holes of his wais teoat When he
reaches what he means to be telling or eff
tective part in his grafton, lie makes kind of
bow-and pauses; this is signal for his
friends TO applaud. He always writes out his
speeches now and sends them, Immediately af-
ter delivery, direct TO the chief of the corps of
reporters belonging to the Morning Post.

tons. His head has the same rotundity as bjs
body, and seems stuck on it as firmly as a pin
head. This is nearly the sum of his personal
detects; all else. except the voice, (which Ia
.nonotonous and dsagreeable) is certainly in
hls favor. His face seems literally instinct
with expression his eye, above all. full of
deep thought ard meaning. As he walks, or
rather struggles, along the street, he seems in a
state OF total abstraction, unmindfn Of all that
Is going on around him and solely occupied
with his working mind You cannot help
thinking that literature with him is not mere
profession or pursuit, but that it has almost
grown part of himself. as though historical
problems or analytical criticism were a part of
his daily and intellectual food

CHARITY.-Squeamishness, or prudery
Is misfortune, either of nature, or false
education which renders the mind liable
to the intrusion of what some philosopher
has called ''nasty ideas"
To be easily shocked shows an intimate
acquaintance with what is shocking
Those who make business of condemn
ing vice and are ready to believe evil Of
others, judge them out of consciousness of
their own habitual desire; and this may
be, and often is. a very false judgment
The man who thinks another will steal,
or get drunk, or commit any immortality,
because he has got the opportunity, judg-
es himself with a terrible judgment, be-
cause he judges his own heart Humani-
ty and religion demand that we exercise
the charity of attributing the best motives
rather than the worst; and a charitable
Judgment, while it is humane to others, is
favorable to ourselves.

THE DoMINIoNs OF THE CzAR.-Al-
though it is the boast of Great Britain
that upon her dominions the sun never sets
yet We suspect that the idea is rather a
conceited abstraction. Russia is one and
continuous, from Kamschatka to Warsaw
from Archangel to Sebastapol. The
Russian Gar is absolute master-not in
any fgurative sense, but in as complete
sense as one immortal being can be
master Of another, ofisome fourteenth part
the exact portion matters little, of the
whole human race. What was Alexander

into obedience during his lifetime; the
Rus sian Car is the one soul that animates
the great mammoth body of his vast en-
pire; and what his name it seems to mat

RIGID Nor1oNs OF DuTY.-A soldier
on duty at the palace of the Emperor, al
Petersburgh, which was burnt a few years
ago, was stationed, and had been forgot
ten, in one suite of apartments that was
in flames. A Greek priest was the last
person to rush through the burning rooms,
at the imminent risk of his life, to save q
crucifx in chapel, and returning be was
hailed by the sentry, who must in few
instants more have been sufocated.-
"What do you want" cried the priest;
''save yourself or yeu will be lost" 81
can't leave" replied the sentry, "because
l am unreleived-but | called to you to
give me your blessing before I de-" The
priest blessed him, and the soldier died at
his post. The late Emperor, on one oc-
casion, attempted to pass sentinel in one
of the corridors of the palace at Peters
burg, who had orders to let no person
pass; but the man resisted him, and
when the Emperor tried to disarm him,
wrestled with, and flung him back against
the wall. ."--Seymour's Russia.

LovELINEss.-It is not your neat dress,
your expensive shawl, or golden ringed
fingers that attract the attention of sense
They look beyond these. 1t is your char
acter they study. If you are trifing and
loose in your conversation-no matter if
you are as beautiful as an angel-you
have no attraction for them 1t is the
true lovliness of your natures that wins
and continues to retain the affections of
the heart. Young ladies sadly miss it
who 90 not labor to improve their minds.
Fools may be won by gcw-gaws and fash

substantial are never caught by such traps.

ns- DR.. Otto Fullgraf, of this city, has
lately been engaged in the attempt to ex-
tract from the human system mercury
which has been absorbed into it. He
places the patient in chemical bath, and
by passing galvanic currenS through the
system, obtains the murcury in the form of
a sulphide. The greatest success is said
to have followed his experiments, and sew
eral persons have been mentioned to us
as having by this process been relieved
from the uuwholsome impregnation which
had followed the liberal and indiscreet use
of calomel as a medicine. The New York
Pscdyune of Oct. Goth mentions the case
of personal friendn from whom the
sulphate of murcury was extracted in such
quantities that the writer of the account
held a good thimblefull'' of it in his
hands The method was first suggested
by DIR. May, in the North american Ho-

has successfully applied it.-N Y Eve

THE NASHVILLE TRUE WING e
The Union and Americans Issue on Point Of
Fact

The Union and american last week charged
Col. Johnson with saying in his place on the
floor Of the Senate, "lbat the Union and Amer-
5can had charged him, [Ool. Johnson,l with
having sought the Presidency of the Bank"
We corrected the misstateInent of the Union
and american, by stating what Col. johnson
DID say, viz: That public rumor had charged
him with seeking that office"
The Union and Anericqn IF Saturday, says:
4" Now we understood Col. johnson to say,
in substance, inst what we said he dId, aud be-
heve that every other man in the Chamber
understood him the same way, except the Wing
man. However, If Col. johnson or any other
gentleman, WHO rat closer to him than We did,
Will say differently, We will acknowledge that
We were mistaken, but not otherwise"
i to do justice to political opponent was
any part Of the an,i-American creed, the
Ulsion and 1meyican could have very easily
ascertained whether its charge was correct or
Incorrect But that paper contents itself, after
placing Col. johnson in a flse position by say
ing, if the correctness OF our charge is disPu-
ted by "Col johnson or any other gentleman
who sat closer Ia him than We did - " in
other words, if Col. Johnson or his friends
wish To remove the ini utation which We nave
cast upon his Integrity and veracity, and viii
come and tell u we were wrong I've viii
acknowledge that We were mistaken" Our
neighbor mak es haste 10 do Injustice, bu is
slow and obstinate in correction. We presume
Col Johnson wlil not take the trouble Ia ask
he Union and AmertcaH u do hun justice
The impu,arlous made by tn t paper upon
him OF being an office seeker, and the attempt
20 make ali issue to impugn his veracty, will
not effect him in This community. where he is
well known.
We only allude To the subject to show the
public what sort of tactics the Union and
American pursues. Our readers will recollect
hat that paper only two or three weeks since,
charged Gov. Brown with planning for the
speakers Chair, and subsequently denied ma
