A curious circumstance has come to light
lately, which has caused the laugh to turn
against the Academic. A sdrant member
Of that respected body has had in his EN-.
ployment for long time past young sec.
retary, whose services he considered so val.
liable in the translation of the Oriental Ian.

that, only six months ago, he doubled his
salary, on the threat Of the secretary to leave
for another savant. Last Monday the sec.
retary came, all penitent and ashamed, to
the sauant,' to declare that his approaching
marriage would prevent d continuance Of
his engagement The savans was incensed.
"And who is the ecsomflice Of yoht brain.
less folly !" exclaimed the sGvant in rage
being himself confirmed old bachelor,
and most averse to marriage. "Monsieur
H." returned the secretary, with d
litter, "to whom am to be married on the
seventh of this month !' The savant look.
ed up in alarm, and beheld the blushing
countenance and trembling eyes of his sec.
retary The truth flashed upon his mind at
once-the secretary was woman! And 90
it proves to be. One who, with the knowl.
edge of Greek and Latin, with seven East
ern languages, could End no employment as
a "learned female" and who had been com.
PEELED to assume the dress OF the other sex

against the savant is the fact Of Monsieur

as evidence of the progress of civilization;

shoes! how far. in the future pantalettes and
bqnnets lie hid, let no scoher dare say
"Puss in boots" as every one knows was

A friend of ours, boarding in the country.

ed in making numerous small wooden bags,
Of singular shape. Upon inquiry, he was
informed that they were shoes for hens, to
prevent them from scratching. The lady
stated that 1t had been her practice for years
to shoe her hens, and so save her garden.
These "shoes" q believe they are not SSt
patented0 were Of woolen, made somewhat
in the shape Of fowls. foot, having an
opening sufficiently large to thrust in the
foot with ease, after which it is closed with
a needle and sewed tightly on, extending
about an inch up the leg. Our friend OBJ.

Col. Renton before he was .
Senator.


The following account Of the early days
Of Col. Benton, is from the new American
Encyclopedia, vol. III, to be Published In
June next:
Thomas Hart Benton was born near
Hillsborough, Orange county, North Car.
olina, March l4th, 17s2. His father died
when he was eight years old; his early sdu.
cation was imperfect; he was for some time
at grammer school and afterwards d Chap.
ell Hill, the University Of North Carolina,
but finished no course Of study there, as his
mother removed to Tennessee to settle 81,
tract OF land belonging to- his fathers estate.
Thomas studied law, and soon rose to emi.
nence in that profession. He was now
elected to the Legislature, serving only
single term, during which he procured the
passage Of a law reforming the Judicial sys-
TEN, and Of another giving to slaves the
benefit of jury trial, the same as white
men. One of his earliest friends and pat.
rons was Andrew Jackson, at that time
Judge Of the Supreme court, end subsequent
ly Major.General of the State militia
Benton became his aid.de. camp, and during
the war also raised a regiment Of volunteers.
It was from that service he derived the title
Colonel. which has, cIung to him through
life. Notwithstanding the close intimacy
between Jackson and himself which was
8
one Of the post cordial and unrsserved char.
acter, rude and sudden rupture took place
in which several pistol and dagger wounds
were given and produced rencounter that
estranged them for many years.
A fter the volunteers were disbanded, Mr.,
Madison appointed Colonel Benton, in 1914,
alieutenant.colonel in the army, but on his
way to serve in Canada in 1914, he heard the
news Of the peace and resigned. He now
removed to Missouri and took up his abode
in the city OF st. Louis, in 1915. There he
devoted himself anew to his profession.--
Soon, however, engaging in the politics Of
the day, he was led to the establishment of
newspaper called the Missouri Argus. In
this position he was involved in many dis
putes and contentious. Duels were usual
at that time, and he had his share Of them,
with their unhappy consequences. In one
Of them, which was forced upon him, he
killed his opponent, Mr.. Lucas, an event he
deeply regretted, and all the private papers
relating to which he has destroyed. His
journal took strong and vigorous stand in
favor of the admission Of Missouri, notwith.
standing her slavery Constitution, and when
the angry controversy was terminated, was
rewarded for his labors, by being chosen
one Of the first Senators from the new
State.

4 YOmtsg Mans Character.

No young man who has Just sense of his
own value will sport with his own character.
A watchful regard for his character in early
youth will be Of inconceivable value to him
all the remaining years Of his life. When
tempted to deViate from the strict propriety
Of department, he should ask himself, can
afford this! can endure hereafter to look
upon him9
1t is Of amazing worth to young man 10
have pure mind, for this is the foundation
of pure character. The mind, in order to
be pure, must be employed in topics of
thought which are themselves lovely, chaste
and elevating. Thus the mind hos in its
own power the selection of it's themes Of
meditation. If youth only knew how dura
BILE and how dismal is the injury Produced
by the indulgence Of degraded thoughts-i
they only realized how frightful are the NOR.
al depravities which a cherished habit Of
loose imagination produces on the soul,
they would shun them as the bite of ser.
pent. The power Of books to excite the
Imagination is fearful element of moral
death when employed in the service OF
vice.
The cultivation Of an amiable, elevated ant
glowing heart, alive to oil the beauties Of
nature and the subimities of truth, invig
orates the intellect, and gives to the will in.
dependence Of baser passions, and to the
affections that power Of adhesion to what
ever is pure, and good and grand, which. is
adapted to lead out the whole nature Of man
into those scenes of action and impression
by which the energies may be most appro.
priately employed, and by which ito high
destination may be most effectualIy reach.
ed.
The opportunities of exciting those fatul-
ties in benevolent and self.denyibg efforts
for the welfare of our fellow men are SO
many and so great that it is really worth
while to five. ,'
The heart which is truly, evangelically
benevolent may luxuriate in an age like
this. The promises 6f God are inexxpressi.
bly, rich; the main tendencies Of things SC
manifestly in accordance with them; the ex
tent Of moral influence is so great, and the
effects Of its employmnents so visible, thai
whoever aspires after benevolent action,
and reaches after things that remain for US,
adds to the true dignity Of his nature, and
can ind free scope for his intellect, and all.
aspiring themes for the heart.

judicial DIgpIty In LonlsInna.


A correspondent Of the Brandon Miss
Republican gives the following specimen o.
how justice is administered, and judicial
dignity is sustained in one Of the Perish
Courts in Louisiana. He says:
Speaking of Grand Juries. reminds M
that the Parish Court 10 now in session
here Ibis Honor Kiah Rodgers pres iding-
old Kye-or "Ky" they usually call him.
Old Ky was passing sentence on criminal,
and delivered himself as follows: "Prison.
er, stand up! Mr.. Kettles, this Court is un.
der the painful necessity Of passing the
sentence Of the law on you, sir. This
Court has no doubt, Mr.. Kettles, but what
you were brought into this .scrape by the
use OF intoxicating liquor. The friends oil
this Court oil knocs thai, 81. thar il. any vice

Court had not stopped of short, and stopped
the use of intoxicating liquor, / have no
doubt. sir, but what thia Court, sir, would
have been in the Peniten entiary or in its
grave I"
Another case was before the Court. An
oversesr who had beet discharged brought
suit against his employer for the whole
years wages, alleging that ne had been
discharged without sufficient grounds
"Old Ky" charged the jury as follows:
"The jury will, take notice that the Court
is we'll acquainted with the nature of the
case. When the Court first started out in
the world, it followed the business Of otsr.
SEEING and eff there is any business what
the Court understands, it is hosses, mules

Court in hoss racing was always materially

race whar the hosses was turned, could al.
lefs turn hoss so as to gain Is feet in q
race; and that on certain occasion in the
Parish of West Feliciana, it wog one of the
conditions of the race that Ky Rodgers
shouldn't "turn nary one of the hosses."
Another case was up, and two lawyers
got into fght--one of them a preacher Of
our church. Old Ky called Justify for the
Sheriff:
"Mr. Sheriff Mr.. Sheriff !>-take them
