A REMARKABLE BoY.-The Albany IN.
" Journal says: eve had the pleasure,
yesterday, of an interview with a remarka-
bic boy. His name is Dudley Walter. His
memory is prodigious. Although only
eight years of age, be can recite over 500
pieces; while he can repeat, verbatim, 8
lecture or sermon which he has heard but
once. Nor does be seem less osfngularly
endowed with regard to the other mental
faculties. Hell natural orator, and re-
cites the most difficult pieces, both prose
and poetry, with wonderful correctness and
dramatic effect. He does not rank among
those abnormal beings called pFodigies-he
is something higher and better. No one
sees him without becoming impressed with
the idea that he is remarkably but health
fully gifted"

Gen. Lee is without exception the hand

well made, well set up-a thorough soldier
in appearance, and his manners are most
courteous and full of dignity. lie is per-
feet gentleman in every respect. imagine
no man has so few enemies, or is so univer-
sally esteemed. Throughout the South, all
agree in pronouncing him to be as uear per-
lection as a man can be. He has none OF
the small vices. such as smoking, drinking.
chewing or swearing, and his bilterest enc
my never accuses him of tie greater ones.
He generally wears well-worn long gray
jacket, a high black felt hat, and blue trows-
ers tucked into his Wellington boots.

mark of his military rank are three stars on

drew from the Treasury $4,000 of the
fund appropriated to enable the President to
colonize the blacks abroad-that the scheme
did not work-and that the money was not
used, and has not been returned to the
Treasury. We hope the Hon. S. G. P. has
mot been specializing with this money, and
that he will be ready to fork over. Per-
haps he may have used some of it to pay
for printing his Circulars. the result OF
which has been to ''coIonize" him away up
Salt river. It is said he has expended $50,
600. for which he is not able 10 give very
satisfactory account.

me Wit of Sarcasm.

To be sarcastic is thought by some peo-
pie to be proof of ability. Such individ-
uals are like a pack of Chinese crackers
thrown into a crowd, continually exploding
in every direction, but with greater noise
than injury. There is more ill-breeding
than wit in sarcasm, and more Miniature
than either. True wit does not consist IN
abuse, but in profound wisdom tersely ex-
pressed. Nothing. therefore, can be fur
Their from wit than sarcasm. and where they
go together. one is press ed into the services
and is not legitimate ally.
Nevertheless we know many, mostly
young persons, who set up for wits on
the score of sarcasm. They are usually
very. coneeited, or very foolish, or very uus
amiable individuals: and by no means the
terror to others they imagine. Persons of
sense are no more affected by their sarcasms
than mastiffs are by the yelp of lsp dog.
A real wit never condescends to reply to
them. We have known many such sarcas.
tic persons in our experience, and always
found they cured themselves Of the child
ish habit as soon as they grew up, or if
they did not, that they remained children in
the control of their tempers to the end of
their career. II is a mean sort of revenge
1i4"' sSSHS " gan ouOtASL ASSlLhSS ~ SaA~
casm.
We frequently hear young persons at g
party making sarcastic remarks on those
who enter. There is here, perhaps, not so
much illwill as i'll breeding, not SO much
spleen at others as desire to display our
selves. It is a sort of verbal harlequinism
got up to raise a laugh. The would be wits
in this case are like the monkey in a red
coat at the menagere, who rides the ring
and plays his antics to amuse the children
rather than people of sense. When young
gentlemen are the actors they are generally
forward, conceited slips of boys cultiVating
moustaches, and stretching themselves up
in company to appear like men. But when
young ladies are the offenders, they will
frequently be found not very pretty, or not
very amiable looking; and though they
usually attract hearers, they make few fast
friends, for every one is fearful lest they
should turn out shrews. We may be
amused at seeing crowd run from a chas-
er, but we have no fancy to be chased our
selves. One enjoys the fun of beholding
others take up nettles, but is very careful
not TO touch the sting. Hence the wisdom
of the common saying, that sarcastic wo-
men are seldom married. Though willing
to be made butts themselves. Moreover, a
long practice in this habit. gives peIso
insensibly splenetic mind, so that what
was taken up to give zest to conversation;
is too apt to end in spelling the temper.
Tartness would seem to be infectious. Peo-
pie grow sour and sarcastic together.-ES.

A REMARKABLY SOCIAL GovERNoR.-GoY-
ernor Powell, of Kentucky, was never an
orator, but his Conversational, ory-telling
and social qualities were remarkable. His
great forte lay in establishing personal in-
timacy with every one he met, and in this
way he was powerful in electioneering.
He chewed immense quantities of tobac-
CO, but never carried the weed himself, and
was always begging for it of every one he
met. His residence was in Henderson, and
in coming up the Ohio, past the place, l
overheard the following characteristic anec-
dote of him:

Remarkable Prophecy by stephen A.
e. - Douglas.
The Hon. I. N. Arnold, in a recent speech
in Congress on DEMONSTRATION, made
the following statement
Here will pause a moment to state a
most remarkable prediction made by Doug
las in January. 1861. The statement is
furnished me by General B. G. Stewart, a
gentleman of the highest respectability
Douglas was asked by General Stewart
(who was making a New Years call on Mr..
Douglas 'What will be the resulssof the
efforts of Jefferson Davis and his associates
to divide the Union % Douglas replied I:
1.-THE cotton States are making an effort to
draw in the border States 10 their schemes
of secession, and am too fearful they viii
succeed. If they dosucceed, then will be
the most terrible civil war the world has
ever seen, lasting for years. Virginia will
become a charnel house; but the end will
be the triumph for the Union cause. One
of their fret efforts will be to take posses.
sion of this Capital, to give them prestige
abroad but they wall never succeed In TAX
| ing it. The North will rise en- DsasSe to de-
fend it but it will become city of hospi-
4 tails; the churches will be used Tor theIslck
and wounded and even this house and the
Minnesota block (nowlth Douglas hospi-
tai. may be devoted to that purpose before
/ the end of the war" iss8 eU 10
General Stewart inquired What justi-
+. fcation is there for all this ?''
Douglas replied: "There is no justifca-
/ ton nor any pretense of any. Ifthey vii

Constitution viii permit TO maintain 1heil
