LAMARTINE AND THE ScULpToR.--A Paris
journal relates the following scene, which
occurred recently in the studio of Preault,
the most distinguished of the present school
of French sculptors. The artist had just
finished ahead Of HHecuba,P which was CON
sidered remarkable, and which he was anx-
ious to show TO Lamartine. The author of
the HdrmonieS, who rarely makes visits of
any kind, consented however, to climb Pre-
aults FIVE pair of stairs. "Your 'Hecuba,' u
said Lamartine, is an Esehylas' in bronze"
"Thanks, MASTER returned the artist, "your
compliment is much more valuable than
diamonds" "But, dpropos, my dear Pre-
ault," added Lamart.ne, ''you have not yet
got the Gross of Honor" "0h, mo. In lS4s,
when made the statue OF Morceau' for the
city of Chartres, you promised it to me, but
after due reflection you said that the Re-

A SENSIBLE South CARoLrNIAN-His VIEW
OF LIHcoLN's PROBABLE EnEcTIoN.-Colonel
B. F. Perry, of Greenville, s. c., says in q
late letter: .l.
Judging from the course pursued by other
Presidents, and that policy which usually
governs politicians while in power, instead
of doing any rash, violent or unoonstitu-
tional act, to injure or offend those opposed
to him, it is likely Lincoln win pursue very
cautious, polite and wise course toward the
the South. II can not be in the nature of
any man elevated to the Presidency, to wish
to see the Government broken up under his
Administration, the Republic dismembered,
and the country plunged into civil war.
Very likely his great effort will be to acquire
popularity in the Southern States, and ap-
pease their opposition by a rigid adherence
to the Constitution, and respect for the
rights of the South. 1t is not at all improb-
able that the South may find more fayors
under the Administration Of Lincoln than
they have under any Democratic Admins
tration. 1t may be that "Old Abe" will go
out of office quite a favorite with the
Southern people. At least we should give
him a trial.

MODE OF FoRMIEG HABIT OF SPEAKING
Commemorative advise all young people to
language, both in speaking and writing, and
TO abandon as early as possible any use of
slang words and phrases. The longer they
live the more difficult the acquisition Of
good language viii be- and if the golden age
of youth, the proper season for the acquisi-
ton of language, be passed in its abuse, the
unfortunate victim of neglected education is
very probably doomed to talk slang for life.
Money is not necessary toprocure education.
Every man has it in his power. He has
merely to use the language which he reads,
instead of the slang which he hears; to form
his taste from the best speakers and poets Of
the country; to treasure up choice phrases
in his memory, and habituate himself to
their use. 1iui'l -bl he- lgi -lH Hit

The Latest Sensation ut Saratoga
Handsome Young Nephew Proves to be n
Gentlemnn's Mistress.
A correspondent writes from Saratoga the
following gossip: ti .ii
A gentleman Of wealth and responsibility,
from New York City-a married man--came
to Saratoga with young man whom he in
troduced to his friends as Charley, his
nephew" i# fttNHt
Charley was an amazing good-looking
young fellow, about eighteen years old, with
black eyes and rosy cheeks, and dash of
frolic about him that won him troops Of
friends. The ladies' were all in love with
the little fellow, while the men were ready
to die of envy. He danced elegantly, and
talked love with all the ardor Of q passionate
soul. When in the society Of men he was
moro than ever entertaining. lie spoke Of
his conquests and his victims with the ut
most sang -froid. He had loves at Saratoga,
and at Newport; on the peaks Of the White
Mountains, and away down among the
plantations of the South. In fact, crinoline
had raised him to its shrine. Besides all this,
Charley was a spendthrift. He was prodigal
of his money, and wine in abundance was
brought at his command. He insisted upon
paying for it all, and could tip goblets with
the best of them. n...
But one day Charley drank more than his
usual allowance. He became unusually
communicative; he said strange things moi
the least strange of which was that he was a
,eomdni Charley was correct; he, she or Il
was woman, and the mistress ofthe wealthy
New York gentleman, who furnished the
"spelter" with which Charley was enjoying
Saratoga life. The discovery of "my
nephew's' sex necessitated flight to othei
quarters, and it is more than likely that thu
old man and Charley are enjoying themselve
at some other watering-place where th,
same fashionable kind of life is kept up.
