TRAVIS, THE SPORTING WILLIAM TELL,
SHOOTISsDORASGES PROM A BOYS HEAD.-We
have already alluded to the thousand dollar
wager made by John Travis that he will shoot
three oranges from the head and hands of
boy-distance, thirty feet-weapon, a pistol
When we reflect that the tremor or movement
Of a muscle may be sufficient to cause a prema-
ture discharge, and that the deviation Of the
fraction Of an inch to the precise aim might
terminate fatally to the lad, the feat appears
as wonderful as it is certainly novel. Travis
formerly resided in Saratoga. The feat comes
OF in Louisville, in June. The oranges are
each to be q inches in diameter; one is placed
on the top Of his head, and one on the back Of
each hand, the arms being extended. In this
position, at the distance Of ten PAGES, or thirty
feet, facing the shooter, and with no interven-
ing object. Capt. John Travis proposes to hit
the orange, and has only three shots to hit the
three oranges. The boy who is to support the
oranges Is ten years of age, and bright and
sprightly lad. He has every confidence in the
ability Of Capt. Travis to hit each object, and
has equally as much in his own nerve, which
cannot be surpassed. He is now under daily
training The boys feet are placed twelve
inches apart and his hands upon his hips. The
Captain shoots through the angle made by the
bending of the arms and between the feet
This is done to accustom the boy to the firing,
and, if possible, give him more confidence and
make him feel at ease. The little fellow l. a
native of Louisville, and his mother is always
present during the actising. She is entirely
satisfied that it will result in safety to her son.
Ibis is probably he most dangerous feat ever
undertaken by any man in this county

BOYS AND DGIRLs-Speaking Of the plan Of Sc
paTating the sexes In school, Mr.. Stowe, the eel
ebrated Glasgow teacher says:
The sepa ration has been found injurious. II
Is impossible TO raise the girls high, intellec-
tnailV, without the boys as with them; and IL Is
Impossible 10 raise boys morally as high without
glris The girls morally elevate the boys, and
tue boys intellectually elevate the girls. Blu,
more than this, girls themselves are morally ele
waited by the presence OF boys, and the boys are
intellectually elevated by the presence of girls

the female character. .
