Reminiscence of Andrew jackson His
decentralization with General Scott.

Reconciliation with General Scott.
Parton's Life of jackson, in the third
volume, just published, records the follow
ing: .t
In the course of the winter he was recon-
ciled to several gentlemen whom he had been
long wont to reckon in the catalogue of his
foes. General Winfield Scott was in WASH
ington at the beginning Of the session; and
desirous to know what he had to expect in
case he should meet General jackson, sd-
dressed to him the following note: "Sir, one
portion of the American community has
long attributed to you the most distinguished
magnanimity, and the other portion the
greatest desperation in your resentments-
am | to conclude that both are equally in
error2 / allude to circumstances which have
transpired between us, and which need not
here be recapitulated, and to the fact that
have now been six days in your immediate
vicinity without having attracted your no.
tice. As this is the first time in my life that
have been within a hundred miles of you,
and as it is barely possible that you may be
ignorant of my presence, beg leave to state
that l shall not leave the District before the
morning of the l4th Instant
To this General Jackson returned the fol-
lowing answer "Sir, your letter of to-day
has been received. Whether the world are
correct or in error, as regards my magma
nimity, is for the world to decide. am sat
isfed of one fact, that when you shall know
me better, you will not be disposed to harbor
the opinion, that any thing like desperation
in resentment attaches to me. Your letter
is ambiguous; but concluding from occur
| rences heretofore, that it was written will
friendly views, take the liberty of saying
to you, that whenever you shall feel dispose'
to meet me on friendly terms, that disposi
corresponding feeling on my part"
The two generals met soon afterward, ex.
changed friendly salutations, and remained
on terms of civility for several years.

PRICE ONE CENT

The Rival DRnseuses on the Stage-Ex-
traordinary Scene in an Australian The
ater. eiI Iea
Miska Hauser, the violinist, thus describes
an exciting scene which he recently Wit
messed in Melbourne, Australia. l.i e.
The curtain rose. A French dancer an
elegant, supple young lady, of no great
beauty, but much expression, and apparently
on perfect good terms with herself appeared
in the scene in her short lace dress, received
by an outburst of applause, and by the mar
tial trumpets of the orchestra But from
the other side came a youthful, blooming
Spanish Creole, with beautiful eyes, large
and soft; her complexion rosy; her figure
tall-in fact, the impersonation of Terpsi-
ehore. She bowed modestly-it was her
thusiasm Of the public, surprised by her
beauty, manifested in vehement cheers.
The two dancers struggled for the palm of
victory in a graceful Tarentula. Like two
glittering butterflies they whirled around,
accompanied by music and applause. The
mercurial Partisan made use of her most
seductive wiles, of her most refined pirouetteS,
Of her most enchanting attitudes but the
Creole seemed patronized by the Graces
themselves. laundering applause encouraged
her; and as often as she came forward with
her graceful modesty, nosegays, and rings,
and bracelets were thrown at her feet The
French lady struggled with her last strength
against the triumph of her rival, until, dis
heartened and exhausted, she fell to the
ground.
The Creole approached her with compass
sion to raise her, when suddenly the Paris
ian darted up, and with looks full Of hate
and fury, boxed the ears of her rival. The
audience hissed and hooted while she ex-
claimed, with much passion; r..
"The wretch tripped rue u
The poor Creole declared with dignity that
she was innocent of the meanness; but q
vulgar word which slipped out of the lips of
the French dancer against her, suddenly
aroused all the passions of the south in her
bosom, and a singular struggle began. The
two excited ladies rushed upon each other,
and wrestled and tore, and pulled one an
others hair, while the thunders of the gal
lery made the whole atmosphere vibrate. I
never saw more natural performance. The
better class of the public did not interfere,
but seemed rather to be amused by these
Olmypic exercises, until the Creole, bleeding
and fainting, was carried away from the
scene. "a I'D ..
Some officers, who, from box, had wit
messed the spectacle, were revolted at the
conduct Of the Partisan, and sent for the
police to arrest her but her friends collected
and resisted the constables. riot ensued;

they jumped across the orchestra the fddleS
and base-viols were broken; the ladies were

.a PRINCE ALFRED ON HIS TRAvELs--His
Reception, and His Bodg-guard of Women.--
Z Colonel Armstrong, a settler at the Cape,
gives an interesting account of Prince
Alfreds reception at Graham's Town:
Her Majesty will not be displeased when
she hears an account of part of the Princes
body-guard; seventeen ladies' well-mounted,
well-equipped and frst-rate horsewomen,
each wearing blue rosettes, with silver
anchors, formed his guard, daughter of
mine having had the honor to belong to this
corps, which his Royal Highness named
"Prince Alfred's Own Body-guards" Being
retired cavalry-man, thought could not
be more honorably employed than in taking
command of the lady corps. On our road
out to meet His Royal Highness, practised
them in forming threes and wheeling into
line, and found them a most willing and
obedient escort. ] formed them next his
Royal Highness's escort of the @. NJ. r.
They escorted him to the quarters provided
for him at the Lieutenant Governors pri-
vate residence; there they were presented,
and received his most gracious acknowledge
ments. Next day there was a grand rural
fete given at Oatlands. His Royal Highness
requested the lady-guard to escort him to
the .fete, which they did in the most orderly
and uniform style. There were numerous
professions, Wesleyan school-children, and
school-children of other denominations,
marching in ranks, well-dressed, with rib
bons and badges. Fingo, Kaffir, and Hot
tentot professions, astonishingly we'll
dressed, and most orderly in behavior.

Sketch of the Lie of Geueral Mora

Juan Rafael Mora was born at San Jose,
the Costa Rican capital in February, 1915.
He inherited high social position. His
grandfather emigrated from Catalonia in
the early part of the last century, and his
uncle, Don Juan, was the first to succeed, in
the supreme magistracy of Costa Rica, the
royalist deputies of Madrid. Bred to mer-
camille pursuits, Mora visited this country:for
the first time on q commercial errand, in
1885. He made but short tarry here, and
returned, to mingle in political affairs in his
own country. His active intelligence and
great aptitude for affairs made him a strong
political position, and he was elevated to the
Presidency of the Republic, in October l84S.
The term of his Office was marked by the
introduction ofmany valuable improvements
In the capital.
The University of st. Thomas, new
theater, the Government Palace, and the
Hospital of San Juan de Dios, were erected
under his immediate supervision, at cost
of over quarter of million of dollars. Be-
sides these works of establishment, he
pressed forward to completion the great road
from Punta Arenas to San Jose, succeeded
in procuring from the Costa Rican Congress
an annual grant of So, 900 for the support of
mail routes, assisted the growth of new
towns, concluded a treaty with Spain,
wherein the independence of Costa Rica was

posed and disheartened, General Mora found
his way to New York in the fall of last year,
and received cordial welcome. During his
residence here, he was actively engaged in
correspondence with his adherents at home,
and left the city few weeks since to under
take that expedition for the recovery of his
power which has so suddenly proved fatal
to him, s -.r. .s.f ...., ... -.-.

a Democratic Duke and Noble Sovereign
The Court Ne,os has the following personal
sketch of the late Grand Duke of Mecklen-
burg-Strelitz, the oldest of all the crowned
heads of Europe, having been born in l779: (:
At his accession to the throne, serfdom
was still an institution of the country, but
he at once abolished it, and by establishing
schools throughout the length and breadth
of the little prineipality, soon raised it from
one Of the most neglected to one of the most
fourishing provinces of Northern Germany.
In other respects, too, Grand Duke George
had considerable merits of his own. While all
the rest of the German sovereigns, without
single exception, sought their pride in being
leaders of troops rather than civil governors
and testified this feeling by never appearing
in public otherwise than in military uniform,
Prince George steadfastly clung to his plain
black coat and his civil duties, and employed
his army in road-maksng and drain-cutting.
Of course, the good Grand Duke was vastly
laughed at on account of these doings by
the princely martinets of the neighboring
countries; but he appeared to take little no.
tice of their sneers, and never went visiting
them nor sent out invitatations.
In his rather threadbare little suit of black
be was seen trotting, day after day, for more
than half century, the streets of his capital,
now stepping into the shop of baker and
examining the size and quality of the loaves,
and then again looking into the crowded
school-house, to see if the teachers were
doing their duty, and his little subjects get
ting on with their reading, writing, and
arithmetic. The Duchy Of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz is but a very small country, having
only about $4,000 Inhabitants; but yet it is
something to say in favor of the late Grand
Duke that he found his country in utter des-
olation, in ignorance and serfdom, and left il
a flourishing little State, within whose con-
fines not single beggar is to be found, and
where every man, woman, and child, can
read and write, and has something to eat.

Vandalism In Literature-LOst InteIlect-
nal Troa arlree

In these days Of cheap printing and toler-
alton, book-burning, says Chambers Journal,
is looked upon as puerile folly, upon par
with the Irish method of spiting banker by
burning his notes. AS Wat Tyler's victo-
rious rabble made fire-brands Of the ancient
records of London, so mad mobs destroyed
Invaluable treasures when they set fire to
Lord Mansfeld's and DR.. Priestly's houses.
The Yandal, Massena, in retreating from the
lines Of Torres Vedras, wantonly destroyed
the church and convent of Alcobaca, rich
with ,the national literature of Portugal
Valuable works have fallen victims to igno-
rance and avarice. The niece of Peiresc
"the Attorney General of the republic of
letters refused to allow the letters addressed
to him by the most eminent scholars of the
age to be published, because she found them
useful for fuel.
Mr. Warburton's servant used up a colIee-
ton Of old plays, many of which were unique
specimens of Elizabethan dramatists, for the
bottoms of tarts and lighting the FIRE, for
which ignoble purpose the records of the
Hospital Of St. Gross were applied by its ig-
norant housekeeper; and Bishop Oowper's
wife, disgusted with his studious habits, de-
stroted in a few moments the result Of eight
years labor.
Sometimes authors have been stoies enough
to commit literary suicide. Colardeau, when
dying, dragged himself to the fire and sacri-
feed his translation of Tasso Sir Walter
Raleigh is said to have destroyed the con-
Guiding volumes of his History ofthe World;
James Montgomery burned novel, the COM
position of which had lightened the hours of
his Imprisonment; Moore put Byrons diary
in the fire. D'Orsay did the Office for his
own, which must have been worth reading;
and Colonel Stewart, son of Dugald Stewart,
not only destroyed his own manuscripts,
which had cost him thirteen years of his
sequence, burned his fathers incomplete
