Grenadier Tarare, who died recently at
Florence, was one of the greatest gluttons
CT modern times He devoured in the course
OF twenty-tour hours Il quarter of beef
breakfast, prepared for ten or twelve per-
sons, he would despatch in very few
minutes. He ate limestones, corks, aGd
everything that fell into his hands. a favorite
food OF his were snakes. which he relished
better than the fattest cells. lie de,. ,.
the largest snakes he got hold Of alive. with
out leaving anything of them. When he
was once employed as assistant in hospital
he seized large tom-cat, and was already
occupied in tearing il alive when DR.. Lor-
enzi, chief surgeon of the army, was sent
for. Tarare held the cat by the neck and
tail and tore its belly with his teeth, suck
ing the blood, and soon leaving nothing of
1t except the bones whereupon he gnawed,
like beast of prey, at the skin, to the hor.
ror OF the hospital assistants who witnessed
the repulsive scene. These assistants said
they had seen him drink with the utmost
avidity the blood of patients that had been
bled, and Others caught him in eating pieces
out of the corpses at the charnel house.
When it finally appeared that this cannibal
had devoured the whole corpse of a child,
he was dismissed from the hospital, where
he filed everybody with unspeakable hor-
ror. He died twenty six years old, of
putrid darrhGa, resulting from modification
of his bowels.

GREAT HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN MEXICo.-
The Matamoras Observador, of the 18th,
gives an account of the robbery of train
of wagons, which was bringing to the city
from Monterey a cOnductd of 500. 200 in sill

smoras, in the Laguna RedOnda-R Round
Pond-at daylight, while all connected
with the train were asleep except sentiuel.
The robbers approached on horseback, were
not supposed to have any hostile intent, and
were therefore allowed TO come up to tho
sentinel without being hailed when they
knocked him down and took his rifle. They
then came up to the wagons, were the
treasurs was, and disarned the occupants,
But in another wagon, soine space apart
from these, was another man who recognized
one of the robbers whe is styled d. Miguel
Ramirez, and called on him to desist; but
the latter fired on him, exhausting ineffect-
lively his pistol, when Laureano Garcia, the
one who was in the wagon, shot and killed
him. Another of the robbers then attacked
Garcia, but was wounded and dropped his
rifle to run. The rest then ran, and Abraham
Garcia and Sanchez Uresti, two of them, have
been arrested. The owners of the specie
give one'half of one per cent, upon the trea,
sure as reward to the brave Lurcano Garcia,
who saved it. The Observador thinks he
ought to have one, and we think FIVE per
cent.

mediation, but he found him restive and
irritable. He evidently regretted having
aimed at his antagonist, and he now explain.
ed to Col. Benton why he had done so. lie
declared that he had aimed below Mr. Claws
Knee; for said he, "it is no mercy to
shoot man in the knee, and my only OBJ
lect was to disable him and spoil his aim. ~
Tie then added, in his most impressive
manner:
Il would not have seen him fall MORALLY.
even doubtIully wounded, for all the land
that Is watered by the king of floods and
all his tributary streams"
The men were placed a second time, and
the word was given to fire. Mr.. Claws
bullet passed through Randolph's coat-
Randolph raised his pistol, discharged it in
the air, and as he did so, said ~ do not
fire at you, Mr. Clay"
With these words he advanced and offer.
ed his hand, which Mr.. Clay took with the
cordiality which became him.
"You owe me coat, Mr.. Clay" said
Randolph, eayly.
II am glad the debt is no greater" was
Mr.. Clay's happy reply.
The parties now all turned to the city
with light hearts. On reaching his lodgings
the eccentric Randolph took the nine pieces
of gold from his pocket, and said to the
three friends for whom he had designated
them:
Gentlemen, Clay's bad shooting shan't
rob you of your seals. am going to Lon
don, and will have them made for you"
And so he did, taking great care, too, to
get upon them the correct armorial bear
ings. On the Monday after the duel the
antagonists exchanged cards, and they re-
mained on terms of civility during the rest
of .heir lives. Seven years after, when Mr..
Clay was in the Senate, and. was expected
to deliver an important speech, poor Ran
dolph, who was near his end, went to the
Senate chamber to hear once more the voice
of the great Kentuckian. AS Mr.. Clay rose
to begin his speech, Randolph said:
Help me up, help me up. l came here to
hear that voice"
When the session was over Mr.. Clay offer
ed his hand, and they had brief but cor
dial interview.

character. Even if he lived and retained
his health, he would inevitably be subjected

im-Nallandigham and Pendleton and

Blair.
1t is well to look facts in the face. Those
who think the best interests of the people

MISCELLANEOUS.
WOULD MIR. BLAIR BE A SAFE PRESI-
DENT


In the canvass preceding the last Presi-
Dental election the public character and
opinions of the democratic candidate for
the Vice Presidency were very thoroughly
discussed. Mr.. Pendeton's votes, opinions
and political associations became, in the
PUBLIC mind, of great importance; and that
for the reason that most men, even among
the democrats, knew General Mcclellan, the
candidate on the same ticket for the Presi
dency, to be weak man, of no well-detned
or strongly held opinions, who would in.
evitably be the tool of stronger men if he
were elected, and over whom a man like
Pendleton would exercise a controlling in,
fuence.
No doubt this belief had much to do with
the overwhelming defeat which befell the
ticket. People who believed Mcclellan to
be harmless and right-minded, feared Pen
dleton. Voters, who haG no fault to find
with McClellan's letter of acceptance, yet
saw that the more positive opinions of Pen
dleton would rule the councils of SO weak
man as his principal.
Is not precisely the same danger before
the country now, in case of the election of
Seymouri Mr.. Seymour is, as everybody
knows, a plausible and well-mesning, but
very weak man. Left alone, he might do
little harm. Indeed, it may be said that he
would try, if he were independent, to please
everybody.
But with Blair behind him; with Blair
ready to take his place il he should fall i'll,

without apparant injury. 1t was his only
