Judah II. Benjamin's Youthful
Ideas of Honesty.

A correspondent Of the Boston Daily Ad.
veriser relates the following of Judah p.
Benjamin. now refugee in England
In the days when the New York Central
was not, and westward travellers through
that State were confined to stage coaches
there chance1 to he travelling in one of those
conveyanc $ young man who by his intel
ligence and agreeable manners attracted the
attention and won the regard of fellow
traveller The young man confided to his
new friend the fact that he vas a student of
Yale College, expelled for some boyish in
discretion, that his pride would not permit
him to return to his home and that he was
striking out into new country, with the
intention Of establishing his reputation,
and to earn a living bv teaching. His last
dollar he said would take him as far as
Auburn, where consequently, no intended
to stop and try his fortune.
The recipient of this little bit of personal
history was so much pleased with the un.
fortunate student and his good intentions,
that he urged him to extend his journey to
Rochester, where he himself resided, and
whore he would use his influence TO get his
young friend established in his profession.
The young man readily assented, and his
kind friend paid all his expenses to Roches-
ter, and on arriving took him into his own
house. There the young gentleman was
taken sick His host provided physician,
watched and tended him until he recovered,
and then got up school for him, by per-
sonal effort. Our young penitent soon had
fourisbing school, and was earning money;
he therefore left his friends house and went
into lodgipgs-his friend introducing him,
and becoming sponsor for the payment of
his bills. Things went on in this way for
some time. until the teacher had accumua.
ted little money, when, probably, pinng
for some more promising field for his pecu-
liar talents, he suddenly disappeared. He
left town without notice, with his board
and his DOCTORS bills both unpaid. and with
no word Of farewell to his kind benetactor;

min. A few years later the above mention
ed Rochester gentleman was in New Or

that city noticed the sign of B, aiamin,
then LAWYER and politician OF considerable
eminence and ample means
The gentleman returned to his hotel,
made ont a bill of the amounts tie had for
mery paid for his protege went to Benja-,
minis Office laid down his bill, and told
Benjamin there was little bill he would
like the money for, if convenient. Beuja-
min looked at the bill, and then at the man,
aud then, without word OF apology or ex.
planatinn, or sign of recognition, handed
out the money, and they parted.

DAN RIoE's MENAGERIE staid in town
oyer Sunday. The boys put in the day
with the elephants and eamels, and it is
surprising that there were as many of them
on Menday mo,hing as on the previous
morning. They fed tobacco to the ele-
plants, and did everything else calculated
to enrage them, and it was confidently ex-
pected that some of them would be killed
Citizens and showmen warned them of their
dsngsr-but to no purpose. 1t is miracle
that they escaped.

Qua MARKETS. The prices people have
to pay for articles of faulty consumption in
St. Clai~ville are extortionate. Flour is
from one to two dollars per barrel higher
here than 10 Cincinnati; and yet, doubtless,
much of the -four made here finds its way
to the Cincinnati market This is gross
outrage. So it is with everything else
meat, butter, eggs, poultry-all command
a higher price here than in Cincinnati or
New York. We do not know that any
remedy can be found for this state of things.
We see that in Wheeling consumers have
formed joint stock companies and started
stores. at which stockholders can buy goods
at cost and carriage. This is good idea,
und will tend to open the eyes Of those who
are spcculatiDg off the sweat and toll Of the
laboring men, who form a large part of the
consumers in every community.

ILLEGAL VoTING.-fhe usual amount of
Illegal voting was dols by the Confederate
Democracy here at the election last week.
There are two or three cases that we will
refer to now. The first is that of q German,
who takes care OF Mr.. Bremmer's stock.
This man admitted that his family lives in
,Moaree -Goaaty, and when asked if he con-
sidersd this his home, said: "Vell. 1 don't
know vat dinks!' yet the Trustees per-
mitted him to vote. A boy, who, both
before aud after voting, declared that he
WAS minor, was hustled into the room by
jim Darrah, and, by some legerdemain,
iua,le to swear that he was 81. There are
several other cases, that we cannot now call
to mind, where parties voted who had no
mere right to vote here than the King Of
Bombay. Perhaps these cases will answer
jack Hsaton's inquiry, Where all the
votes come from we do not know"
