BIoGRAPHcAL BuREAU.--In the office of
the London Times, there is a bureau that one
would think, must be terror to not few.
Every man whose life is deemed worth taking,
has place in a certain 'pigeonhole,' wherein
the record is constantly kept written up to
the latest possible period sort of log to be
displayed the minute lifes voyage is ended.
Deeds done and words said in the heat of pas
sion are there; acts performed at long inter-
walls are brought into startling proximity, and
all, of necessity, Invested of the glow and
action, the touch Of nature, as it were, that
made us regard them in the living actor with
a lenent, if not q loving eye. Such a man
dies tonight-the 'pigeon-hole' gives up its
dead and tomorrow morning, even before the
subject has begun to lie in state, the leading
acts and incidents of his life are spread all
abroad to the world. Quick work they make
of fame!

THE JEFFERSON FEsTIvAL.-The festival
Jefferson, to be held at. the Parker House in
Boston, on Wednesday next, will be one of
the most interesting and important political
events of the year. Many distinguished ad-
vocates of the good cause have already con-
thing to the anti-slavery faith of the Common
wealth. 1t is peculiarly fit and proper, when
80 many Republicans show manifest signs of
vertebral weakness, and when attempts are
put forth to weaken the public reverence for
those Ordinances which saoed the Northwest
from the blight and curse of bondage, to re-
vive the memory and magnify the respect for
those glorious agencies of freedom.

TREASURY LEAK.-Another small leak in
the United States Treasury has been discover
ed. On the eve of adjournment of Congress-
Senator Johnson of Arkansas, on representa-.
ton that party of the children of the emf
grants, who were murdered by the Indians on
their way to California, were in Utah, procured
the insertion of an amendment to the Indian
Appropriation bill, appropriating $4,000 for
their return home. Senator Broderick was a
little suspicious at the time, but Mr.. johnson
assured him that it was purely benevolent
investment. 1t turns out however to have
been for the benefit of brother-in-aw of John
son, and friend of Commissioner Denver,
who will thus make quite little speculation
out of the affair. The Indian agent at Utah,
desiring to return to the States, had Offered to
bring the children with him at cost to the
government of about 5000, while the gentle
men named above are to receive $4,000 for
the same service.

The LIQUoR LAw-Before the Court of
Common Pleas, at Greenfield, few days
since, novel point was raised, to the effect
that the section Of the law is unconstitutional
which provides for the payment of $10,in case
OF conviction, TO the attorney who appears for
government, which sum is TO be taxed against
defendant. II was argued that the direct and
inevitable tendency of contingent fee is un-
duly and improperly to bias the mind, and pre-
vent the impartial discharge of his duties
Judge Mellen said that the fee might be mex
pedient but was clearly of opinion that it was
not unconstitutional. The defendant was
found guilty, when an appeal to the Supreme
Court was taken.

ARCHERY.

We have noticed in many places indications
of the revival of this ancient and manly art
When physical training becomes part of our
system of instruction-ifth that should ever hap
pen-we should favor the establishment of
classes in archery first. OF all kinds of exer-
cises, it cultivates the happiest combination of
grace, skill and muscular vigor. 1t is adapt
ed to both sexes, and deyelopes faculties which
are equally valuable to both.
When archery was profession, and every
"Englishman and Irishman in England was re-
qured to have bow of his own height, of
yew, witch hazel, ashe or awburne, or any 9TH
reasonable tree" and when they were bound
to practice at stated periods under heavy pen
alties, it was not unusual for their arrows to
measure two hundred and twenty yards in
their flight. One lawyer has made his name
and profession the delight of cyclop@dists by
sending an arrow a mile in three flights.
Though cultivated then as an agency for pos
sible enterprises of war, it was generally as
harmless practice as the target shooting of
our own volunteer militia, and much more to
the point
In the Canterbury Tales we find very
pretty account of an archer dressed for a con-
test, and on his way to the field,
And he was cladde in cote and hode of creme.
shee of peacock arrives, bright and kene,
Under his belt he bare full thrifty.
Wei coude he dresse his takel yemenry.
His arrives drouped not with fethers loves
And In his hands he bare mighty bowe.
Upon his arme he bare gale bracer
And by his side sword and bokeer,
other Qappere.
Harnessed well and sharp as point of spere.
A Christotre on his brest of silver shene,
An home he bare, the baudrick was of creme.
Fine forester was he soothy, as guesse
We could not of course, expect that our
archer boys and girls would find any Chaucer
to immortalize them in his verses, or sing the
praises of their chvalric and graceful bearing.
But they will be the better able to immortalize
themselves.
The old chroniclers take much pleasure in
dwelling upon the important part which the
bowmen played at the battle of Hastings,
when the liegemen of William the Conqueror
brought down the frightened troops of Harold
who did not fly faster than their Norman ar
rows. And i'll those romantic melo-dramas of
death enacted at Cressy and Agincourt, the
oNiatAui anu dlShSIS nave tue HUH
or Of winning the day over the pixies and
spears and other savage enginery of fighting
men. Happily in these piping times of peace,
we do not need to commend ambitions like
these. The old archers knew no better than
to and all their disciplines either in the encour-
agement or the practice of the battle. The
new archers will be satisfied with the more
modest mission of developing whatever manly
vigor may be locked up in their bones.
