WATCHING ONES SELF.-"When
was a boy" said an old man, "we had a
schoOlmastcr who had an odd way OF
catching idle boys. One day he called
out to us
"'Boys, l must have closer attention
to your books. The first one of you that
sees another boy idle, [ want you to in-
form me, and | will attend to the case
"Ah, thought | to myself, there is Joe
Simmons that | don't like. I'll watch
him and if see him look off his book, III
tell 1t was not long before l saw Joe
look off his book, and Immediately I in
formed the master.
Indeed said he, show did you know
he was idle p
"'I saw him. said I.
"'You did and were your eyes on your
book when you saw him 2
81 was caught and never watched for
idle boys again"
If we are sufficiently watchful over our
own conduct, we shall have no time to
find fault with the conduct of others.

of the Caliph Haroun Alraschid
the good old days

-luc SOOu Olu uayS a..#.r....
of the Caiiph Haroun Alraschid
The latest advices from China inform
US through the medium of private letters,
of the unprecedented career in that coun-
try Of young American, of this State,
who, though but twenty-nine years of age
has reached position which reminds
one of the dim legends of Prester John.
Here is brief recouutal of the story of
adventure
About twelve years ago Edward For
roster, conntry lad, born in Jefferson
Co., in this State, decided, like great
many other boys, to 60 to sea. His friends
opposed the idea, but of course, the love
of ocean life was too strong to be resisted,
and young Forester joined those who
ego down to the sea in ships He was
successful, and soon became the mate Of
a whaling ship, though then scarcely
beyond his minority.
In Honolulu, Forester made the ao-
quaintance of merchant of Hakodadi,
and went with him to Japan. Here he
remained two or three years engaged IN
commercial pursuits. Thence he went
to China where he was taken into the
Imperial service. He became popular
both with the foreigners and native au-
thorities at Shanghai, and was finally
made second in command to General
Ward, in place of Colonel Murgiven, who
was severely wounded in some recent
engagement.
In this capacity the quondam sailor
continued to be much 4iked, ard now
enjoys the confidence of all the Manda-
rims in the province, and is sdmitted to
their confidence, as well as to the highest
and most exclusive Chinese society At
one time Forester led band OF two hun
dred men against the rebels, only nine of
them returning, the rest of them having
been all killed. He has now twenty
thousand troops under his command
For his services he has been made
Mandarin of the Blue Button, and his
name stands high in Pekin. His rank
obliges him to keep at least twelve SER
wants. The latest letters received from
him (to May lst) state that he is in
command of the city of Soungkalng
sleeps with the city keys under his pill
low ; while not one of the 100000 inhab-
itants Of the place-pot even the highest
Mandarin-can enter or leave without
his permission, and at word from him
any individual out of that 100000 may
lose his head
Mr. Forester enjoys also the friend
ship Of Admiral Hope, General Michel,
and the other English and French officers
in China. Admiral Hope he reports as
severe J wounded in recent fight
On the 8th Of May the English, French
and 1mperialist troops were preparing to
attack Chingfoo. of which Forester was
to be made Military Governor. BE pre-
diets the removal or deposing of the So
called Heavenly Emperor within year.
Such is the brief and brilliant career
in the East of genuine specimen of
Young America. The American Man
DARN has friends and relatives living in
this city, as well as IN the northern part
of the State, who will learn with aston
ishment and pleasureof his influence and
power IN tar-otf lands.

DEAD TO THE LAW.-Some years ago
a man without family or relatives lived
in county Of Arkansas, and was pos
sessed of an estate worth FIVE thousand
dollars. He went to New Orleans and
was absent four years without being
heard from. The Probate Judge granted
administration on his estate-wound it
up and discharged the administrator
The man returned-had been to Mexico
when in the court the following dialogue
took place:
Dead Man-If your Honor please,
want my effects returned to me, as you
see | am not dead,
Court knoW-that is, as mum
that you are alive and in court, but as a
court, | know you are dead, for the rec
ords of the court say so, and against their
verify their can be no averment-so says
Lord Coke, and good many other books
[ never read.
Dead Man-But I want my property,
and it's 10 difference to me whether your
records lie or not am alive, and have
not transferred my property, and to de-
priVe me Of it without my consent is a.
gainst the law.
Court-1f you intimate that the rec
ords of this court lie, this court will send
you to Jail.
Dead Man-Send dead man to jail -?
Court-Sherif, take this apparitiOn
out.

While in the cars the other day, DUR
ing my tour through Western New York,
lady approached me and made inquiry
about her son, whom she said vas in my
brigade. I could not help expressing my
surprise to her that one 50 youthful iu
appearance had son old enough 10 be in
the army. She said her boy was only
sixteen when be enlisted but being

age were asked. After such enquiries as
would suggest themselves 20 an Affections

EXCELLENT DEFINITION OF Coon
MANNERS. "A writer in the Atlantic
thus describes what we are always theor-
izingabout :-"The world has always been
charmed with fine manners, and why
should it not? For what are fine man
ners bat this {: to carry your soul on your
lip, in your eye, in the palm of your
hand, and yet to stand not naked, but
clothed by your individual quality-visi-
bic, vet inscrutable-giyen to the hearts
of others of others yet contained in your
own bosom-nobIy and humanely open,
yet duly reticent and secured from invas-
ion. Polished manners often disappoint
US; good manners never. The former
may be taken on by indignant souls the
latter imply noble and opulent nature"

W. Bruner, of Port Byron, who was wound.
ed at the battle Of Fort DOnclson, and sent to
the Mound City hospital, was not properly
cared for while in the hospital Mr.. Samuel
Bruncr, the father of the young man, wishes
us to say that the statement does injustice to
those in charge of the hospital. His son says
he was well cared for in every respect, and
received every attention he needed. He was
severely wounded in his hips, and the ball
has not, and never will be extracted But he
i, doing well, Though his recovery will be
very slow. 1t is doubtful if he will ever b
fit for duty again. He was three days in Il
house near the battle field, and was found
there, by Orderly Sergeant Barry, who had
him sent to the hospital. He was four days
without anything to eat.
McGnnis, who was wounded at the same
time, is doing well, Young Devnny, of
