Cor. BENroN on TIE LITTLE GrAEr.-
Col. Benton, in conversation with friend
gave the following summary view of the
prospects of Mr.. Douglas
1.-The Little Giant IS in too great hurry
to be graat man He forgets that giants
don't wear seven league boots nowadays,
and that the first Office in an elective Gov
ernment cannot be taken by storm. His
ambition is much beyond his ability, for al
though a fluent speaker, his ideas don t bear
the proper proportion to his words, and
though he runs fast, be carries little weight
He thinks he can bestride this continent
with one foot on the shores of the Atlantic,
the other on the Pacific But he can't dc
it sir His legs are too short.

Down and Up.

I
In the year 1849, young man Who zss
rich, and engaged ina lucrative business In
Cincinnati, became enamored of beautiful
and amiable girl-the daughter, by the way,
fof wealthy parents-and after 3 brief court
ship married her. He loved her dearly;
she loved him dearly Il fortune of hap
piness seemed n store for them; but evil
days came, and after b brief but violent
struggle with fortune, the young man be-
came bankrupt He was left without dol
lar, but not without hope. The gold
mines of California were open to theSadyen-
turous and industrious. He would leave
his beautiful wife and seek its glittering
shores. where he would remain until his
fallen fortunes were revived. The resola-
ton once taken was soon executed. He
came to California, but the cloud still hung
over him. He was active, enterprising,
and perseEering; yet while others around
him were gathering the golden harvest IN
abundance, his every object failed, For
eight years he continued thus. He became
sick, weary and disheartened, but his pride
woald not allow him TO write home for as
sistance. He was at last reduced to sell
newspapers upon the streets for living.
a few weeks ago he was at Folsom street
wharf, upon the arrival of the mail steam
er. and among the passengers who came
ashore. he caught a glimpse Of richly
dressed lady. whom he thought he knew.
He followed her to hotel, got fair view,
and recognized her as his wife. whom he
had not seen for eight years. He was poor
ly dressed. but his affection conquered, his
pride, and he Immediately made himself
known to her. The recognition was fol-
lowed by beautiful exhibition of unabated
and unfaltering love. The lady's parents
having died, had left her heiress of great
wealth. She had not heard of her husband
for eight years, and, fearing for his safety,
she resolved to visit this State and make en-
quiries for herself. The lady closed her
conversation with her husband by putting
her arms about his neck, and saying. "Now,
dear George, we can go home and be happy
as We used to be- They did go home on
the steamer which left last Monday This
story is strictly true California Spirit Of
tie Times.

wholesale Executions in India

Mr. Chas. Buxton, an English member
of Parliament, in recent address to his
constituents. thus spoke of the wholesale ex
ecutions which have occurred in India:
How many persons do you think we ex-
eeuted in the city of Alahabab? Just real
ize the awful horror of but one execution
the fearful mental agony of the man who
feels the rope round his neck, and then the
drop fall. In that city We executed in cold
blood thirteen haadred personsf Shame
In the Punjaub, where no outrage whatever
was committed, we executed .Jfve MosssGnd
persons read that myself, IN letter from
Sir John Lawrence. Is it not awful to think
of hanging and shooting FIVE thousand hu-
man beings? And if this was done in The
Punjaub, what must have been done in
Bengal, where rebellion ragged? Why, we
seem to have put to death without mercy
any man who took sides against US. For
instance, Rsjah saved the life of MIR.
Mitchell and other Europeans. But, under
compulsion, as he said, he aided the rebels.
He was caught and hanged. l knew the
family of an officer of the Bhopaul Contin-
gent. They told me that when the contin-
gent mutinied two hundred of them, with
great difficulty, saved lbe lives of this gen
tIeman and his brother officers, and also re-
fused to march and take up arms with the
mutineers. Well, General -- arrived.
And what did he do but put to death these
very two hundred men, on the ground that
they had fought against their brethren
And heard Mr.. Layard give an account of
their execution, which was heart-rending to
hear. TShame, shame. A friend of mine
wrote home with glee, how he had destroy
ed eighty villages. read a letter from
soldier, who said that after wholesale mas
sacre of their prisoners, they flung the bod
les into pit and covered them over. One
of them recovered his senses, and came wan
dering into camp. He was again shot the
next morning. All about Delhi the head
men of every village where the telegraph
had been broken, were hanged, though they
had no more to do with it than I had. I
said it in the House. and say it here.

Cuba.


The fertility of the soil of Cuba is we'll
known. The labor of cultivation is small.
and the profits well nigh fabulous. 1t is
said that some planters, who have several
estates, have an income of eight hundred
thousand or million dollars annually. On
new ground, sugar, which in Louisiana re-
quires to be planted once in three years,
viii produce its annual crop for nine or ten
years, so that the planter has notbing.to do
but reap the harvest every year. But, not
withstanding these extraordinary induce
ments to cultivate the soil, by far the larger
portion of the island is yet Wilderness
A published statement gives only one-tWeu-a
tieth part of it as under cultivation. Some
part of the residue is mountainous and un-
tillable, but very considerable portion is !.
as fertile as that which yields SO enormous
a revenue.
In addition to the sources of agricultural
wealth, there ara rich copper and coal mines,
and the forests abound with mahogany, ce-
dar, and other choice woods. There are
some serious drawbacks to residence on
the island. however, the principal of which
are the enervating climate and yellow fever.
A minor but by no means despicable evil is
the mosquitoes, whose sting is very poison
Gus to strangers, producing high degree
of inflammation. The hands, wrists and an
kles swell up and suppurate. making great
sores, which leave pits almost as deep as
those of the small pox, and much larger
After residence of two years., however, the
sting is scarcely felt, and; the poison pro-
duces little or no effect. This has been ac-
counted for by the idea that the enervaGing
climate renders the blood so thin and poor
that it is no longer capable of the same de-
gree of inhamation.

Business Habits of Aaron Burr.

Mr.. Parton's new work on Burr gives the
following sketch of his daily habits in the
latter part of his life, as related to the au-
thor by gentleman who spent some time
in Burr's Office "He rose at the dawn. A
breakfast of an egg and cup of coffee suf-
feed for this most abstemious of men; af-
ter which he worked for some hours before
his clerks and assistants arrived. He was
hard task-master; he kept us all upon
the jump All day helwas dispatching and
receiving messages. sending for books, per-
sons and papers /; expecting every command
to be obeysd with next to impossible ceieri-
ty, inspiring every one with his own zeal.
and getting surprising quantity of work
accomplished. He was business incarnate,
said my informant. About ten in the eve
ming he would give over, invite his COM
panions to the side board, and take single
glass of wine Then his spirits would rise,
and be would sit for hours telling stories of
his past life, and drawing brief and graph
ic sketches of celebrated characters with
whom he had acted. Often he was full of
wit and gaiety. at such time 'the liveliest
fellow IN the world > tas merry as boy
never melancholy, never ill-natured. -
About midnight or later, he would lie down
upon hard couch in the corner and sleep
like child, until morning. In his per-
sohal habits he was aihorough-going Spar
tan eating little. drinking little. sleeping
little, working hard. He was fond of cal
culating upon how small sum life could
be supported, and used 10 think he could
live well enough upon seyentT-fye cents a
