TALL WALKING-We have in our mind
says the Detroit AdUertiser, one of the most
wonderful feats of pedestrianism, which, if
it were not we'll substantiated, would be diff
ficult of belief 1t took place a number of
years ago. Mr.. Schoolcraft, residing at
Sault st. Marie, wished to send an express
to Mackinac, distant by the trail about sew
enty-five miles. He sent for half breed
called La Branch, and told him that he must
start at II O'Clock that day. La Branch
objected, as there was to be II ball in the
evening of the next day. Schoocraft told
him that he must go, and that as he wanted
to attend the ball. if he was back from Mack
mack by 10 o'clock the next evening, he
would give him twenty dollars extra pay.
At 10 o'clock he started, and the next day
at 10 P. NJ, appeared again, having gone
the whole distance-15O miles-in "a hours.
After receiving the promised twenty dollars,
he said "he could have been in by eight
o'clock, but he waited two hours on the hill
back of town, for fear that he might get in
ahead Of time, and lose his money After
leaving Mr.. Schoolcrafts store, La Branch
went to the ball, and tripped the moccasined
toe until daylight.

peS%The New York Herald comments
with severity on the "sham retrenchments"
commenced in the House of Representatives
at Washington, in the abolition of foreign
missions, and in the work of reducing the
small salaries of the poor clerks of the ex-
ecutive departments, and in Indignantly
laying upon the table a paltry bill OF FIVE
thousand dollars for extra clerk hire from
the Post Office Department, when the great
lobby job of the public printing, ranging
from a half million to a million of spoiis
per annum, is left untouched The jobs and
schemes of the lobby constitute the real bus
mess Of Congress in this matter Of retrench-
ment Let the House proceed to work in
this mine of millions and tens of millions OF
spoiations and extravagances, and the
country will believe they are in earnest
But this saving at the spiggot while pouring
out at the lobby bunghole, will never re-
plenish the treasury

CowHIDING AND STABBING AFFRAY.-On
Friday last, Columbus was the scene of one
of the most disgraceful affairs which shock
and startle communities. 1t appears that
bad feeling had been engendered, from some
cause or other, between Doctors Bledsoe
and Canine, both dentists. DR.. Bledsoe ap-
preached DIR. Canine and extended his hand
as if to shake hands with him, and then
when DIR. G. was looking in a different di-
rection, struck him a severe blow on the
cheek, with his fist, staggering Canine and
almost bringing HIM to the ground, follow
ing up the lick by blows with a cownide-
Dr. Canine drew knife, and inflicted three
severe wounds-one in the left arm, one in
the back, and one in the breast. 1t was at
first thought that Bledsoe's wounds would
prove mortal, but we are informed that he is
now out of danger. No one can blame DR..
Canine under the circumstances, for defend
ing himself, as .here are but few men that
would not have done the same thing rather
than take cowhiding. Columbus Ind J

would be the gain of she Eastern capitalists.
But there is another very grave consider
alton in the matter. The funds once dis
tributed to the counties is invested forever;
there will be no further legislation on the
subject to the State. There will be no
chance fer State demagogues and Spectators
to get their hands on the sacred trust. If
public stocks are bought, these, in few
years, will be paid off. Neither this State
nor the United States are going to remain
with debts pressing upon them, for govern
ments cannot, like individuals, make profits
on loans, for their debt is a perpetual tax
When in few years the bonds that may be
bought shall be paid of, the money will
again come under the power of the Legisla-
ture and into the hands of a few State of
ficials, when it will be again a temptation
to the demagogue and swindler, TO devise
some scheme to clutch the whole or por-
ton of it.
But those who advocate this mode of in
vestment, have no idea that it will be made
They see clearly the proposition will defeat
its execution. The offer to buy will raise
the price of State bonds so as to make the
investment bad one; and that will be a
reason for keeping the money at Indianap-
oils; as it cannot be kept idle, it will be
loaned by the Commissioners and Marion
county and its neighbors will get the use of
it. The author of the bill is from Marion
county, and the paper that sustains the pro-
ject is an advocate for the interests of
Indianapolis and Marion county, regardless
of and rest of theState. The representatives
from other sections should be guarded not
to be inveigled into the plausible scheme.

DEATH OF WIN, H. PREscoTT. = This
melancholy event occurred in Boston, on
the 28th instant. In his death the literary
world is called upon to mourn the loss of a
brilliant scholar, Il careful historical stndent
and a sincere and genial man. Few men
have worked as zealously and as successful
ly in the attractive field of early Spanish
and American history as Mr.. Prescott
Few whose labors have contributed so much
to enlighten and entertain the thinking
mind of the nineteenth century. He wrote
for the multitude, as well as the more crtii-
cal student and his works, like those of
all good and earnest men, will long live
after him. to do honor to his memory, and
to contribute, in no small measure, to the
spread of knowledge and the cultivation
and elevation of the human intellect
Mr. Prescott was nearly 81 ,ty-four year,
of age, and was engaged in completing, by
the aid of amanuenses and copyists his
celebrated and valuable history of Philip II
at the time of his death-the result of Il
sudden stroke of paralysis.

HsA. According to the Washington cor
RESPONDENT of the n. Y. Times, the bright
particular star of the metropolis, is Mrs.
Conrad, young Southern widow, who has
a natural gift of diplomacy, and takes to
politics and plots just as naturally as young
school girls do to bright ribbons, rich laces,
and Partisan gloves. From the Vice Presi-
dent down, through all gradations of Sen
ators,r congressman, financiers, Journalists
and artists, her empire is undisputed. She
has the kind Of voice which St. Paul OF
some other good authority pronounce to be
an excellent thing in a woman; and, as
might naturally be expected, this Talleyrand
in erinoline is not little envied by many
of the less gifted and less brilliant of he1
sisterhood.

HsAB The Lafayette Courier of Thursday
reports a liquor riot in Greencastle on
Wednesday night, in which the citizens en-
masse, undertook the task, and executed it,
of demolshing all the doggeries in the place
The frequency Of these riots, in which men
and women, without distinction of party or
church, are concerned, shows thata deep
feeling exists in the community, which must
be satisfied with some practicable and CON
stitutional restriction of the liquor traffic

A convention of gentlemen representing
the people along the line of the canal, as
sembled at Indianapolis on Tuesday to con-
suit in regard to the destiny of the canal,
should it be abandoned by the bond-holders.
Judge Foster and Mr.. Ingle were present
from this city, and on the organization of
the meeting Judge Foster was made Chair
man.
After a full discussion of the subject it
was determined to submit memorial to
the Legislature, asking for an enabling act
to allow transfer or lease of the Canal, or
any part of it, to a private company, or
companies. A Committee was appointed to
draft the memorial, and to submit resolu-
tions expressive of the wishes of the people
represented by the Convention. Judge
Hanna, of Fort Wayne, Jno. Ingle, jr, W..
D. Griswold Of Terre Haute, A. Downing
of Greene, and Mr.. McDonold of Attica,
composed the Committee.
An adjourned meeting was to be held
yesterday afternoon, at the q. S. Court
rooms to receive the report of the commit
tee and to determine what action should be
taken.
Our correspondent is of the opinion that
the Trustees will make no objection to a
transfer of the Southern Division, especial
ly if they be permitted to retain the lands

bargain is easily made with them.

TIE CUBAN REsoLUTIoNs.-Senater Hef-
fren (Lecomptonite) introduced few days
ago series of resolutions in regard to the
acquisition of Cuba, which were laid on the
table with the understanding that::t should
be taken up for discussion at convenient
time. After several whereases in regard to
the insults and depredations of Spain, the
resolutions first instructs the Senators and
requests the Representatives in Congress
from the State to vote for the passage of a
law placing the entire strength of the nation
at the disposal of the President, to compel
satisfaction for all our pasj grievances, and
any new outrages, either upon any of our
citizens, or the power and dignity Of our
flag and nation. ID Recommends that in
case the army and navy should be called
out for any such purpose, the taking, hold
ing, and annexing of the Island of Cuba, as
an indemnity for the outrages committed
on our government and its citizens. Sd.
That we cannot consent that said Island
shall pass from the possession of Spain into
that of any other power than ours.

GsAY DR.. Chapman, of New York, recent
ly lectured before the Young Mems Chris
tian Union of that city, on the orders of
nobility. Mr.. c. took strong Democratic
ground in his definitions of true nobility,
and thought it more honorable to be boot
black than a lazy gentleman, or a street
sweeper than lump of elegant dcprayity
in broadcloath and fine linen. He spoke
forcibly about the constant crowdiug of the
professions, and the mistaken notions as to
mechanical enployments. Truth, he said,
was the ground of all noble thought, and
true nobility consisted in every mans fl
deity to the truth he knew.
