HANDWRITING of Great Men,


The Duke Of WeIlington's writing
was large aud iurcible, with no attempt
at decoration. During the last ten years
Of his life, however, his writing was ia
different, and Often illcgiJIp. None but
composltur in a newspaper Office, ae
custOnied to al sorts ol hierogyphics,
could possibly decipher the characters.
A letter Of his TO minister il Lord
Derby Cabinet has not to This day
been unrayeiled. Niue out Of every
ten Of the Dukes letters treasured by
autograph hunters were written by his
Secretary, Mr.. Greeyille, who wrote a
hand very much like that Of the Duke
ia his best days.
Lord Bruus ham hand betrayed much
unconluerabIc restlcssne-s OF impulse.
His manuscript was mass Of ierogly-
ph.c', aud according to DR.. Bleuinsup,
IN all Mr.. Cloves extensive printing
establishment in London there was ouly
one man competent to grupple with il,
and hc often lave up III despair.
] he bold aud careless freedom of BY
ron hand writing, compared with the
elegant little preIflhc,s Of Tom Moore 3,
reveals very clearly the peculiar quail
ties Of the two poets. The elegant pre-
eision Of Mrs. ueman'8 penmanship,
and the lrco but clear aud Ineligible
abandon Of L. Il Landon's 5. were equally
characteristic Of their mental PECULIAR.

The Royal family Of England have

Queen NictorIl has an elegant signature
Locke says that the faster Il mail

Horace Greeley's manuscript is very
illegible, A wag once observed tha

written by Mr. Greeley, vas rendered
by the comppsitor INTO, Washing viii

Hon. Thad. Stevens, the "Old CON
mouer," wrote an illcgible hand. Hi
signature was little more than III,
scrawled initials, with short. zigza,
line following each Of them. We one
had occasion to write him, aud received
a letter in reply which we found it i'm
possible TO read, though protesting I,
be apt at deciphering manuscripts. -
Two weeks afterwards we hauded Mr.
Stevens the letter lie could not rea,

HANGING A MAN FOR CoMRoRr.-
The Austin (Texas) Journal rclates the
following; In 1887 or '38 the county
of---had just beeu organizcd, aud
the first District Co.rt was held in y
small room that had been used for q
grocery. IL was tie fall teru, a severe
norther was blowing, aud there was 40
fireplace or stove in the room. A des.
porslo was on trial for one out of many
crimes he had committed, and the Judge
aud jury were impatient to end tho
ease. The county was sparsely settled,
and consequently. too poor to make ad !.
equate arrangements for the comfort Of
prisoners, SO when the jury brought iu 3
verdict of guilty, the judge in prononn- !
cing senicuce upon the culprit, said I:
Bob Jones, you haze had very fair
trial you have been found guilty, and
the court adjudgcs that you be hauged|
by the neck until you be dead bnt al
the county is just organized, and affords 4
no convenience to lodge prisoner with
any degree Of comfort, there being uo|
suitable building nor bedding, not even
blankets, the court do hereby, in con-
sideration OF his personal comfort, order
that the prisoner be taken to The near
est tree aud there hanged until he 81
dead, and may the Lord have mercy Oh
his soul" He was then led out 10 q
tree and hung.

How TO BEGIN LIFE.-Rev. Dr.
john Hall thus wisely speaks to young
people: There ARE two ways Of set
ting up in life One is TO begin where
your parents are ending magnificent
mansion, splendid furniture aud an elc-
gaut turnout. Is not that the pretty
dream Of many about their start in life Z
The other is TO begin little nearer the
point where father and mother-or
blessed memory-began. You see, my
dear friend, you can go up so easily aud
gracefully, il events show it to be safe !;
but it would be trying and awkward to
come down. Aud it costs much 70

A celebrated divine, who was remark
able in the first period Of his ministry
for boisterous mode Of preaching, sud
denly changed his whole mapuer in the
pulpit, and adopted a mild aud dispas-
sionate mode of delivery. One of his

what had induced him to make the
change. He answered, "Wheu / was

find, WhereoS, Other existing Statutes of this King
dom are amply sufficient to secure the punishment
of either cruelty or fraud on the part OF either
Master or Servant, Therefore
Be it enqctsd. by the King and the Legislative
assembly Of the Hawaiidn Islands, in the Legts-
idture Of the Kingdom assembled:
L. That Sections 1417 to 1925 inclusive of the
Civil Code, be, and the same are hereby repealed.
=. This Act shall become q law from and after the
first day of January of the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-one, and from
and after that date all laws and parts of laws that
may be contrary to the Act shall stand repealed.
The bill was read for the first time, and passed to
its second reading according to rule
Mr.. IIanaike introduced a resolution that the sum
of $4,000 be inserted in the Appropriation Bill for
removing the rocky point in the harbor Of Lahaina,
and dredging out the sand in said harbor.
The House proceeded to the order of the day,
which was the second section of the Divorce Bill.
After a lengthy debate, in which Messrs. Harris,
Hutchison, Thompson and others opposed the bill,
and Messrs Phillips and Bishop spoke in its favor.
the Assembly adjourned without final action.

Post-ofice would then be at Keopuka, the most GEN.
trail place in the district. But contrary to their
wishes, the appointment is conferred upon a man
who is unpopular ; and in consequence of the ap-
p%ointment the Office is located at his residence, almost
at one extreme end Of the district, and out of the
way. Again the new Postmaster has a place of bust
ness at Kailua, and l imagine that it must be his
headquarters, as his communications are dated Kali
lua, North Kona, and as one instance how bad this
works The mail man comes up this morning for the
Lukd's mail and has been waiting at the Postmaster's
store for three hours. The Postmaster is at Raiina,
n. kona, 10 miles distant, and the man goes down to
the beach, tired of waiting, Ioithout the mail. Please
remember that this going down to the beach is a
matter of five miles. We in the country, or on the
other Islands, do expect. and naturally, that some
regard should at least be paid to our wishes. We
think that in these local mahers, we know what will
suit us best, any how certainly much better than
the authorities at your capitol city of Honolulu.
Yours truly, Hawaii.
Kona, April 81, 1870.
I'VE know nothing of the merits of the above
complaint respecting the selection of a Postmaster (;
but we suspect that in postal matters as in the cleo
ton of representatives, the smartest men generally
get in, while the '' most popular " are left out in the
cold. Probably "the powers that be had some
reasons for the selection made. l.

Oxford, to have a new translation of the Bible,
made by authority of the crown. Lord Shaftsbury,
President of the British and Foreign Bible Society,
