GOVERNOR Stone recently invited
Colonel Benton, ostensibly the "Sol.
diers' Candidate" for Governor, but re-
ally put on the course by Jones, Clag-
gett, Mahony g. Co., using for bait a
few "sore heads frog the army, and
having addressed the Colonel as the
Democratic candidate for Gov, he in
dignantly repudiates his ardent friends
and would be constituents, and declares
himselfa Union man. Wh8t will Tom
Claggett say to this? Will ne take his
name out Of tour ticket" which he has
placed at the heed of his dirty, treason
able sheet? Colonel, this dodge won't
answer; you cannot shirk the response
biiity; your warmest supporters are the
piraticai villains, yclept copperheads,
whose record has been one of dsmning
iIst:rry for four years, and whose names
Will go down to posferity as the mean
est handiwork Of the Asmighty-if they
are his handiwork at all. Colonel, you
are gudgeOn to be caught With such
rotten bait. Bid q long farewell" to
all your greatness, and 60 with Tuttle
and Mcclellan to oblivion.

A BoRE.--Iha Cincinnati, Commercial

has the following sensible and truthful
remarks:

OF its representatives present to respond
IL a nuisancc--a bore of the largest cal
ibse. Not one professional journalist in
a .rndred is "gifted with CAB" His
Processes of thought are entirely differ
ent from those of the orator or off.hand
speaker. He Is accustomed to select
words with view to express in the
least space the greatest number of ideas,
and this becomes mental habit from
which he cannot easily free himself
1t is fatal to ofl-hand sbeaking. Ask
him to write a speech, and he would
have no difficulty. He would succeed
where the "natural orator" would be
likely to fail. What we mean to say is,
that the custom of toasting the press"
and 1t is usual to postpone 1t till half
the guests are surcbarged with orat0ry,
and the other haif with champagne-is
one Of those civilitles which the Jour-
nalist, while he knows II is well meant,
feels to be q bore"

TIE CUEIoUs.--A curious man is
necessarily endowed with many vir-
tues; or at least his curiosity stands
hun in The place OF them. Industry
and perseverance lie must possess in
the highest degree There is no stone
which truly curious person will
leave unturned, in order to obtain a
bit Of intelligence Queen Sncba per
formed tedious pilgrimage merely to
get sighu Of King Solomon. Ac-
taon encountered cruel death to
learn what sort Of stuff goddess was
made OF; or probably to ascertain
whether she was as great a prude AS
she pretended. One woman jammed
herself into clock case to surprise the
secrets OF tie t'rechasons; aad many
a man and many woman, 100, have
sacrificed the happiness Of their entire
il'e for the mere pleasure Of satisfying
themselves that they were no. loved
by their welded life partner. What
world of intrigue will a truly curious
man bring to bear, for the purpose OF
knowing the contents Of your butch
er's tray, Of learning what. news the
postman brought you this morning, or
Of discovering whether you dine at
home or abroad. Another quality
essential to the curious man is courage.
As all the world have something to
conceal, al! the world have their hands
set against him who would penetrate
their secret; and kicsings and cuttings
innumerab!e are tie reward of that
patriotism which would make itself
substitute for Momus' glass window in
the human breast.

TIE MOUNT OF OLIVES. Il am told
that, a month ago, the Mount Of Olives
was covered with beautiful flowers;
now they are all over, and rs most of
the corn is cut, it is rather bare. l. is
dotted over with scattered olive trees,
which, III our Saviour's time, we're pro-
baby thick groves, giving 4 good
shelter from the beat Of the sun. Its
present look is peculiar; the rock is a
light grey limestone, showing itself in
narrow Lodges al! up the sides; the soil
is whitish, and the grass now burned
to a ycllowisE color OF the led ges in
narrow strips, forms altogether most
delicate and beautiful color, on which
the grey green Gives stand out i'n dark
relies. The evening Gun makes it at
first go'den-hued, and afterwards, as
Tennyson writes, the purple brows of
O'ivet. In the afternoon we
walked up to the top Of the Mount Of
Olives, whence you overlook the whole
city, and also to the East, the Dead
Sea, which is really only fifteen miles
of, aid which looks quite close. This
is one Of the most impressive views in
the world, and if have time will
certainly paint it, but l fear that I
shall not bo able On the top Of the
Mount of Olives are gardens, and corn.
fields stretch down its eides, but all
beyond secias perfectly barren rock
and mountains. The lead Sea seemed
motionless, aud OF a blue so deep tssat
no water that I have seen can compare
with it. The range Ct mountains be-
yond is forty or fifty miles off. and a
thin veil of mist seemed spread be-.
tween US and them over the sea,
through which they appeared serial
and unreal; and, as the sun sinks, the
projections become rose colored, and
the chas.:; deep violet, yet still
misty. When the sun left them, the
hazy al above them became singular
green color, and the sky over rosy.red,
gradually melting into the blue.

Mans DEs11SY.-The appearance

BoNAPARTE 3 EARLY PovERrY.-M.
Thiers, in his history Of the Consulate,
recites some very strange and pre-
viously unknown particulars respecting
the early life and penury Of Napoleon
Bona parte.
II appears that after he had ob-
tanned a subaltesn's commission in the
French service, by his skill and daring
at Toulon, be lived sometime in Paris
in obscure lodgings. and in such ex
treme poverty that he was often
without the means of paying ten sous
(ten ceuts) for tis dinner, ana fire
quently went without anything at all.
lie Was Under the necessity of borrow.
ing small sums, and even worn out
clothes from his acquaintarces! lie
and his brother Louis, afterwards King
Of Holland, had at one time only a
hat between them, so that the brothers
could only 60 out alternately; time and
time about.
Al this crisis the chief beaefactor of
the future Emperor aod conqnerer AT
whose mighty name the world grew
pale, was the actor Talma, who often
gave him food and money. Napoleon's s
face, afterwards so famed for its clas.
sical mould, was, during that period
Of starvation, barsh and angular in its
lneaments, with projecting cheek
bones. His meagre fare brought on
an unpleasant and unsigbtly cutaneous
disease, Of type so virulent and ma
ligrant, that it took all the skill and
assAduity Of his accomplished physician
Corvlsart, to expel it, after duration
OF moro than ten years.
The squalid beggar, then, the splen.
did Emperor afterwards the thread
bare habiliments and imperial mantle
the howell and the palace-the
measre food and the gorgeous banquet
the friendship Of poor actor, the
homage and terror Of the world-an
exile and a prisoner. Such are the
ups and downs of this chan geable life,
such are the lights and shadows Of the
great mighty.

TIE CARRIER P1aEoN.-The carrier
Pigecn is originally native of the
Asla!ic 'East'-called, in the Arabic
language, bF the word Aanahu. He
is very beautiful bird, with ring of
parti colored feathers around his neck.
with red feet covered with down, and
with such wonderful speed of flight
that it is authentically stated to b. two
thousand seven hundred English miles
in day. In the province Of Irac-
-Assyria white pigeons are trained
with less difficulty than any Others.
The first one USED as messenger is
supposed by some antiq uarians to have
been the dove which Noah sent from
the ark, aud which returned with the
Leaf OF the olive" An actual post
system, III which pigeons we're the
messengers, ~was established by the
Sultan Nourreddin Mahamound. who
died i'll 1854. The price of we'll
trained pair Of such birds was, at that
time. one Thousand Arabic gold ducats,
$4,000.
1t requires much time and patience
to train the carrier pigeon, and only a
few wealthy individuals in the East
can afford to keep them. AS soon as
the young cock and hen are Aeaged
they are made tame, and taught to
need each others society as much AS
possible. They are then sent in an
uncovered cage to the place whittier
they are thereafter to bring messages.
II one OF them is then carried away,
it will certainly return 10 its mate
from any point and from any distance.
A small letter is written on the finest
silk paper. This is placed lenythwise
under one wing, and fastened with
pin. the point turned from the body to
one particular feather. No part OF the
letter mqst hang loose, lest the wind
collecting in it, the wing become tired.
and the pigeon become compelled to
'alisht. The wonderful attachments to
home-inherent in this bird as its
special characteristic-always brip % it
back to the dove-cote, when set at
liberty. Unmid(ul Of summer heat or
winter storms, it wings its flight
through the air across the desert or
ocean, never stopping for rest till it is
Perched again on the paternal eyrie.

There is new system Of instruction
in France, by which people learn to
read in a remarkably short space Of
time. 1t is called The LeGorian system,
from Leffore, the inventor. Twenty
four soldiers who never knew a letter
OF the alphabet learned to read fluently
IN less than month, and one Of them
rerd at the end Of tne tenth lesson.
