JAMES GoRDoS Bennett, author of ''Mary
Ann" and Editor of the N. Y. Heruld, complains
bitterly, in recent article, of the treatment of
his family by the press We have, not seen
anything urged against his family, save that his
wife and son were taking on leonine airs at
Washington. Mr.. Bennett, however, gives The
following account of his folks:
Mrs Bennett, at the time other marriage, was
mere girl from school, about seventeen years
old, and has never concerned herselfabout pub
lie affairs or the business of other people, but
has always, when she was not travelling, atten-
ded to the duties of her household and the
education of her children either in Europe OF
America.
The eldest boy, yet a youth ofseventecn years.
returned from his education in Europe two
years ago, and is still engaged at his studies,
and will be for some years to come. He has oc-
caSionally, during the summer vacation, aVailcd
himself of yacht excursions, but never could
provoke the rivalry or touch the sanSbility of
Greeley, Raymond and Weed, who have again
and again, in the most dastardy and comtemp-
tble manner-unworthy Of men and fathers
assailed him in way that will recoil on them
with tenfold retribution one of these days.
Apropos Of this, the Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Post, writing of the
Presidents lcvee, on the night of the 22d Feb.
says
The President gave his last public leres last
evening. The crowd was very great, as the
city is filled with strangers, all of the hotels be-
ing packed. Mrs. James Gordon Bennett occu-
pied the same room with Mr.. Buchanan and,
by his direction, the crowd were presented to
her as well as to Miss Lane. Indeed, at one
time, it was difficult to tell whether the rcccp-
ton was MIS-. BENEFITS or Mr. Buchanan's.-
The two occupied sofa together in the recep.
ton room for about three quarters ofan hour

A CURIOUS PRAYER.--I the State Of
Ohio there resided a family consisting Of
an old mau by the name Of Beaver, and
his three sons, all of whom are hard

very eccentric minister. who resided in the

pected to die. when the minister was sent
for in great haste.
On his arrival he found the young man
very penitent and anxious to be prayed
with. The minister calling on the family,
knelt down and prayed in this wise
"Oh Lord,we thank thee for rattlesna.
kes we thank thee because rattles make
has bit him. We pray, Thee sond rattle.

"Self application is a slow and gradual

The planet beat. After that my ideas Of

various small boys who had been or might
be obnoxious to me The event of the set

not know tolerab.y well what his physical

The Key Family.

The Keys are family unfortunate in
their personal differences. I have refer
red to the case Of an elder brother of Mr..
Key. who was killed in due about
twenty years ago 1t has been erroneous
ly stated in a Washington print that the
qunrrel was about r woman. 1t was q
boyish caprice, and yet the cause ond
course Of il we're characteristic on both
side. Sherburne and KEY were young
midshipmen together. They sailed in the
same ship on ono Of the long and useless
cruises prescribed for the exercise OF our
navy. Mr.. Shcrburne, was from New
Hampshire; quiet and upohtrusve. Mr..
Key was Il Marylandor, connected with
tho most aristocratic families of that state
and Virginia, He took dislike to Mr..
Sherburne, and pursued him with cease.
less insults on board ship. party Of
young midshipmen attended an evening
party given by Congressional mess, at a
fashionable boarding.houso here in Wash.
ington. The middies took their wine to-
gother, but Key was observed to leave his
wine untasted. He was called on for an
explanation, and gave it bluntly by say.
ing that Sherburn was coward for not
resenting the indignities he had before in
fcting upon him, and he could not drink
with him. The poor young man was at
length aroused, He looked steadily at
Mr.. Key, also setting down his glass, and
said |; Il understand you. You have
made mistake. You ought to have
known me better, I will correct your
mistake" He then bowed to his comran-
ions, excepting Mr.. Key, drank to them
and retired. Tho next morning, Sher.
burn sent message which produced
meeting at Bladonsburg. Key was shot
through the kidneys, and fingered two
days in intolerable anguish.
The late Mr.. Keys marriage was also
attended and proceeded by evidences of
the same strong and orratio temperament.
Col Charles May, Of Palo Alto celebrity,
courted the beautiful Miss Swan of Bal
timcre, and was accepted by her. He
introduced Key to her as bis intended
bride. The two fell in love at FIRST sight
and tho gallant captain Of dragons was
left 20 mourn the Inconsistency Of the fe-
male heart. He of course challenged
Key. The affair produced an awful tu.
multi in Washington. Key and May
were pursued by the police. They barri.
caded themselves in separate apartments,
deaed the sivil power; but OF course the
deed was prevented. The captain went
TO the wars, where he achieved fame on
the field, and Key, having married the
beauty, was appointed, through family in
luence, to tho Office which he held at his
death. This lady, ono of the lovliest |
ever saw, died two or three years ago, and
it is thought by some that Key, from the
oddity Of his dress. and the singularity of
his behavior, afterwards, became partially
deranged by the bereavement But this
was an unfounded conjecture. His friends
had known him always to possess an un.
balanced and extravagant mind, in which
violent anger and passionate tenderness
