Biography Boiled Down-By the Fat
Contributor.

Plutarch-I only know this gentleman by
reputation. He is always spoken of in the
plural number. "Plutarch's Lives lis a
common expression, but how MANY there
were of him am not prepared to say.
General Duke Of Wellington-An officer
Of the British army. MIR. Longtellow makes
honorable mention of him as the "Warden
of the Cirque Ports" Cincque means five,
and he was the protector Of five prin-
cipal points, usually denominated Five
Points. He lived to ripe old age and died.
julius CGser-Son Of old man Caesar.
He was born at Rome in his infancy, and
upon arriving at the state Of manhood be-
came Roman. He was a fighter and war
rior of some note. His friend Brutus one
morning asked him how many eggs he had
eaten for breakfast, and he replied, ~ tn
Brute n His friend became enrasea Of be-
ing called brute; and stabbed Caesar quite
dead.
INSTRUMENTATION of the Koran, an eX-
citing romance, which he wrote in the
Mammoth Cave at Mecca. He was the all.
thor of religious creed with which he
stuffed Turkey, aud tried to get up broit
in Greece, but failed. Many Of his early
followers suffered great prosecutions. Some
of them were burnt at the stake. He had
three temples-one at Mecca and one on
each side Of his head.
Guy Fawkes-A warm-hearted, impul-
sive Englishman, who believed the Parlia-
ment too good for this earth, and devised
an expeditions method of elevating the
members to better sphere. He was in
terrupted in his good intentions, but for
which circumstances he would doubtless
have made great noise in the world. He
was executed for his disinterested beneyo-
lence, and was subsequently burnt in a
place called Efigy.
BonaDarte LA harem-scarem sort OF a
fellow, who occupied position OF consid-
cradle responsibility in the French nation.
The impression went abroad that he was
ambitious, which damaged his reputation
materially. He gained the respect and ad.
miration of the French nation because,
happily, he was not Frenchman. When
asked if he thought he could govern
France, he replied, "Of Corsican." The
close of his life was not as bright as its be
ginning, but there was some Of it in mar.
row compass.
Peter the Hermlt-Pete was principally
notorious for stirring up little difficulty
between the Christians and the MOhome.
dams, which extended over period Of thirty
years, resulting in numerous excursions by
land and water, under the fascinating title
of the Crusades. The Hermit was an itin
Grant lecturer, and had he lived in our day
would have turned his attention to humor,
thereby saving a deal Of bloodshed. The
Crusades turned out like the author Of the
creed they were intended to annihilate-a
false prophet.

and tobacco is low. The drought Inst year
and year before cut the crops very short In
this section. Farmers are greatly .dissatis-
fed with their present operations. and
think there can be no Question of one thing,
in fact it is universally conceded, that mo-
ney Is Very scarce in Louisa.
There have been recently quite number
Of land-sales in the county. The sales have
been mostly limited to lands lying upon the
railroad. There is, of course, great deal
Of land in market; some frst-rate bargains
may be had, and good people we would
gladly welcome to settle amongst us.
The public free-school question Is at this
time exciting good deal of interest and
attention in the county. The superinten-
dent of the county (Rev. j. p. Haley is
ably and energetically supported by his
boards Of trustees in the four school dis
tricts Of the county. He has succeeded in
securing the services in these boards of
gentlemen Of intelligence, of liberal views,
and of rare business qualifications and
habits. A. number of schools are already
in operation in the county, and others will
be started by the 1st Of February. The
superintendent says that the only difficulty
IN the way is the limited amount OF public
school funds.
The several districts are voting q levy of
one mill on the dollar of their taxable pro-
perry to enable the school trustees to CON-
ply with the school law, and to make the
public (Statel school fund available to their
districts. This OF course meets with op-
position from some, but it is the result OF a
contracted review of the matter, and will
doubtless give way when the whole subject
comes to be better understood. Prejudice
and ignorance are the most serious difficult
ties in the way, l imagine.
The school authorities of the Louisa
courthouse district had quite an enthu-
siastic meeting at Louisa courthouse last
Wednesday night, Notwithstanding the in
clcmency of the weather. Interesting adj
dresses were made by the County Superin-
tcndent, Judge Lane, II. ". Murray, Esq,
and others. These gentlemen took the po-
sitiOn that the public school system was q
part of our Constitution-that we had
pledged our faith to carry out the Uonsti-
tuition, and that it would be simply dis
graceful to seek to evade our obligations or
disregard our plighted faith. They COM
mended the enterprise, both for white and
colored, III the strongest terms. a very
liberal private subscription was secured on
| the spot for the erection Of house for
publlc-school purposes at the courthouse.

Collision at Sea-A COasfing Steamer
Sunk.


CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 30,-The steamer
Georgia arrived to-day from New YORK,
bringing the crew of the steamer Aensing-
ton, from Savannah for Boston. The Ken
sington collided with the bark Templar
from Baltimore for Rio, sixty miles n. n.
E. of Hatteras. The bark sunk, and all
but one of the crew are supposed to be lost.
All of the Kensington's passengers and
crew arrived safe in the Georgia. They re-
port that the steamer, under the command
of Capt. H. Mathews, left Savannah Janu-
ary 18th for Boston, with full cargo of
cotton, rice; lumber, and hides. On
Friday evening, at halfpast o'clock,
she was run into by the Templar
which struck her on the port-side aft mid
ships. She commenced filling rapidly, and
in thirty minutes went down. The pas.
sengers and crew, with sailor who had
leaped on the jib-boom of the steamer from
the bark, were put in boats, and lett the
wreck, going in the direction OF where the
bark had been last seen, but could not lind
her. The sea was not rough, and after
steering fifteen hours for the North Caro-
lima coast, they were picked up by the
Georgia. The Templar is supposed to
have gone down also, as she was sinking
when the sailor jumped from her to the
steamer. A large quantity OF spars ano
rigging, not belonging to the steamer, were
passed by the boats.
The following is list of the passengers
picked up by the Georgia: n. VBrien, JGo

ARE NEW ENaLANDERs HoMEs1cK OUT
WEST 2-Mr. Charles Hill, Of Saco, Maine,
a gentleman who is said to be eminently
we'll qualified to form correct opinion upon
the matter, states, as the result of his OBJ
servation during an extensive tour through
the western States last fail, that 1t is much
better for New England farmers to remain
at home than to 60 West in the expectation
of acquiring fortune more speedily. They
raise larger crops "out West" than here,
but the prices realized are so much smaller
that the result of years work will not
vary much from a years work East, while
there is nothing to compensate for the loss
Of Yankee" society and the "privleges"
so dear to the New England heart. He
thinks that inconsistencies is a prevalent and
chronic disease with those who have moved
towards the setting sun, especially after
their own sun has passed the zenith, and
they find themselves on the decline that
gently slopes to Jordan.

"TH1RTY MILES OF SHoRTNEss."-[F From
the Raleigh Sent,nel.l MIR. Odds, lot the
Legislature, jim advocating the consolidation
of the n. c. and the n. w. N. G. Railroad
Companies, spoke of the route by Greens
boro' and Danville as having "thirty miles
of shortness."
shortness is thing that exists in this
world in very large quantities. There is a
great deal of shortness in human life, and
in those delusive dreams that haunt the
steps of boyhood. Shortness abounds in
our recollections of our beneflctors, and in
the sojourn of carpet-bagger, in the flash
OF Il meteor, and the love OF a woman but
has been sought in vain in the speeches of
the Senators from Wake and Wayne. Thirty
miles Of shortness was recently found by the
senator from Wake in one dirt-pile between
Greensboro and Salem, and it is supposed
that careful search will probably disclose
the existence of more.

CHANGES IN THE BANKRUPT LAw.-Thc
House Judiciary Committee has directed
Judge Mercur to report several amend
ments TO the present Bankrupt act, the
basis of which was introduced by MIR. Mer-
eur. AS now reported by the committee,
the amendments provide that the appoint
ment Of registers shall be made by the
United states circuit courts that the lime
for hankruptS 10 file their petitions shall he
extended from one 10 two years; that the
rcverSals of DEGREES in bankruptcy should
be made only in United States courts. and
also that exemptions under state laws shall
not exceed 81 geo. so far is the operation OF
the bankrupt law is concerned. The last
two amendments are designed to meet
attempts Of State courts TO impede the jul
ri>dction OF the laws, and, in the case Of
exemptions to make it uniform in opera
ton, AS the Constitution requires. When
the act was first passed, it provided that
state exemptions, existing in 1864, should
be recognized. The object of this limiti-
ton was to prevent the southern States, as
was then feared would be the case, from
making excessive exemptions in the inter-
est .! bankrupt landowners, DC. 1t has
been suggested that 1864 be changed to 1869,
