PERSONAL.

Mr.. PrescOtt's mother once showed his room
to the Rev. Mr.. rockingham, and said to him:
"This is where William was shut up for many
months in utter darkness. In all that trying
season, when so much had to be endured, and
our hearts were ready to fail us for fear new
er in single instance CROPPED my way across
the apartment 10 take my place at his side,
that he did not salute me with some hearty ex-
preston of good cheer. Not in single in
stance. As if we were the patients and it was
his place to comfort us" No word Of COM
plant throughout all that dismal period, no
sigh of impotence or regret. He was not con-
tent even with the perfect silence of an unre-
plnlng will. But he must sing III that impris-
onment and night Was this not a represen-
tatiye example?
After Mr.. Prescott had finished his first great
work. so little was he inspired with fervid
ambition, or anything like an inordinate desire
for distinction that he said to his father that he
had had the qualification of writing the work,
and that he should place it on his shelf, and
leave it for those who should come after him.
He was dissuaded from so doing, and was en-
couraged to give it to the world by his father.
In his resume of chess for 1853, Herr Low
enthall has the following passage:
an India, Mr.. Green still keeps chess alive,
and, if we may rely upon his judgment, there
is an Eastern as well as a Western prodigy.
He has been playing a series of games with u
Brahmin, named Rhumcunder Khrranchicher,
who, Mr.. Green thinks, could give odds to any
living player. We can hardly expect the Brah-
min to visit the West, or Mr.. Morphy to jour-
ney to the East; but if the latter conquers all
the Occidentals who venture to oppose him,
only one thing remains to be desired, and that
is, to see the East and West pitted against
each other"
Judge McLean's health is again giving way.
On his return to the capital he was for few
days enabled to vigorously prosecute his du-
ties, but by last accounts he was not able to
attend the sittings of the Supreme Court, and
it was said he would soon return to Cincinnati.
Ex-President Fillmore has entirely recover
ed the use of his eyes, and there are no
traces of the severe attack which last Summer
so far impaired his sight as to make it neces-
sary for him to forego reading.
1t is stated in Paris that the proprietors of
the Journal DIES Debats have settled the mum
ificent pension of 5000 francs on the widow of
M. RigauIt, who died SO suddenly few days
ago from over-exertion of the brain.
A Biographical Study on the Life and
Works of Daniel Webster" the American Or
