The brightest boy of the class exam
ined for admission to the Annapolis
Naval Academy, was little fellow
from Texas, about fifteen years off age,
who had becnthree years setting type
in newspaper office, and had studied
mathematics and arithmetic with dip
candle in the garnet Of log cabin at
night He was poorly clad when he
reached Annapolis, and on being asked
how he obtained the means to reach
Annapolis, replied that he worked for
it, and that his money falling short on
the route, he had got some small jobs
at type-setting in New Orleans and
other points of his journey. If he
should not be admitted he expected to
work his way home again. He is
now TO be seen on board the Oonsti-
ution in his naval uniform, with his
gilt buttons and anchors, looking as
bright and hopeful as if he anticipated
being a Commodore.
