Baron Humboldt was once asked
why the male Of the human species
was an exception to the rule so gen.
eral among all other animals, that the
male is handsomcr than the female.
He answered, after moments reaec.
ti"n, deny the fact. 1t is our nat
urai gallantry that makes ms think
women more beautiful than men. The
women do not concur in the opinion"
Hnmboldt was philosopher, and it
wouldn't be modest to contradict him,
On the main point, while as to the last
proposition that women think men
handsomer than themselves, If it lie
true. the dear creatures will not thank

Jefferson Davis entered Congress
the same year that did. have met
him often and know him well. There
was this difference between Jefferson
Davis and me. He was taken at a
tender age and placed at West Point,
and your father and mine were axed
to pay for the instruction that resc ued
him from oblivion. We made the We.
ry common mistake of judging by his
head rather than his heart, and did
not notice the viper that was coiling
there. and which we nursed into life
to sting us, If possible. to death. AZ
ter his school-boy days we're over, jeff
was sent ont west, at the Government
erpcnse. and spent year or so survey
ing around Calumet, fishing and loun-
ging. and shooting grouse at Govern
mcnt expense. and eating them him
self. He then married into the Gov
ernment, his wife being a daughter of
Gen. Taylor. who was supported by
the Government. went to the Mexican
War, and returned to be Secretary of
War aud to vilIify the gallant soldicry
of Illinois for their part upon the field
of Bnena Vista. For this Gov. Bissel
called him out, bnt on this particular
occasion JEFF didn't come out! [Great
