A DILEMMA.

Some days ago genteelly dressed man,
Of peculiarly grave and sedate counte-
nance. went into pastry cooks who is
more celebrated for his puf1s than his pow
ers of argument. "Sir," said the serious
man, /" would You be kind enough to give
me dozen tarts :" 5 i5sse, saa
Certainly sir" replied the vendor,
much taken with so polite customer, and
having put up dozen tarts, he haoded
them across the counter to the gentleman, !,
who, on receiving them, hesitated mo
ment. saHsg AN8 8ls8 fs4sasf

vendor, who accordingly handed in lieu

A Fragment OF Amerlcan Historr.

At the last meeting of the Historico-
Genealogical society in Boston, Mr..
Samuel G. Drake read q paper upon
"Sir Alexander Cunning among the
Cherokees, or Facts in the Early His
tory of Georgia" The paper he was
about to present, said Mr.. Drake, came
into his possession by purchase in Loy,-
don, and was written by Sir Alexap der
Cunning, in the year l765. Sir Nexan-
der was one of an expedition sent out
by the English government s.oout that
year. He seemed to have been an hon
est though visionary man, inasmuch as
he asserted that pecuyiarv results of
settlement in the Cherokee country
would pay tie national debt of England
in twenty years. After failing in sew
eral attempts to secure some royal ap-
pointment, upon the accession of George
Ill. he made a direct appeal to that
monsreh, and succeeded at last in OBJ
tanning the appointment of ambassador
to the Cherokees. The exact year of
his departure from England was not def
nitely known, but it was shortly before
the breaking out of the troubles between
the English and French, who were fight
ing hard to obtain foothold in the new
country to the exclusion of the other.
The document gave accounts Of the ad-
ventures Of Sir Alexander and his com
pany among the Cherokees, interspersed
With explanations and remarks by the
reader. AS fragment of America =,
history from the direct hand of a pro- mi
nent actor in the scenes described the
paper is a valuable acquisition.

IDENTITY expected, and the hungry souls

IDENTIFY expected, and the hungry souls
who fast at -, crowd in at the FRI
day evening receptions Of the Cabinet
officer who has selected that evening and
find relief. Some, one laughingly sug-
gesied to Attorney General Williams, at
his last reception, that - should di-
vide the expenseof the supper With him,
for at least half of the famished guests
from --- fed to Williams and was re-
freshed.
Now, this is bad enough, but the mem
bers Of the Cabinet must give dinner
parties, three or four during the season,
and yet their salaries are only $4,000 per
annum. 1t is easily seen 6hst there is
discrepancy somewhere VIXEN the Presi-
dent, with salary of $25, 900, need feed
no one, except at State dinners, twice a
month, and the Cabinet Ministers, with
$4,000, must feed everybody who calls at
the day receptions, vast concourse at
evening receptions, and not a few Off
cials at State dinners. The Secretary
of the Treasury cuts all this. He has

The story of Dear and Blind Poet.

From the Good Templar's Advocated
At Elk Creek, Spencer county, Ky,
there resides the remarkable man whose
name heads this article, known in litera-
ture as the blind Bard of Kentucky"
He lost his eyes after he had obtained
tolerably good education, and his father
then sent him to the blind asylum, where
he completed his education, including
proficiency in science and the art of mu-
sic, which he has since taught with con-
siderable success. He, however, lost his
hearing, and had to abandon his avoca-
ton. Upon this double night settling
upon him, he became sadly melancholy.
He finally conceived the idea Of having
the alphabet tattosed upon his hands
with India ink, so that persons might
converse with him through the sense of
feeling, by pressing their fingers upon
the letters and thus spelling out the
words, His father, DR.. Heady. sdggested
that he have the letters printed on
close-ftting glove, and putting the glove
on when he wished to converse. BE
adopted this idea and always keeps his
conversation glove with him. He has
all the books that have ever been pub
lished for the blind, and is thoroughly
familiar with them. He has invent
ed a machine for printing with the
raised letters employed by the sightless,
and his nephew and niece print for him
anything new that he desires. Mechan-
les constitute his favorite study, and he
is endowed with considerable inventive
genius. He has invented set of tools
and work. bench constructed for his
special use, and frequently amuses him
self by making articles of beauty and
utility He is a skillful chess-player,
telling the position of the pieces on the
board by the sense of touch.
But it is principally as poet that he
is destined to be most widely known, if
not indeed made immortal. He has
published a volume of poems entitled
" Seen and Heard" which has received
the commendation Of the literary world
in no mean terms of praise. His "Apoc-
alypse Of the Seasons and Double
Night, are among the finest poems in
the language--long, labored and well
sustained. In blank verse he is parflcu-
larly happy, though his rhymes lave a
musical ring. Milton is his beau ideal
of poet and some of his own produe-
tions would do no discredit TO this grand
English bard. 1t is significant fact
that Homer and Milton were both blind.
A man shut out from the view of the
universe must create his own system.
Imagination becomes the dominant fac
ulty of the mind, and is ever busy Great
ing its own world.

Her favorite author was Dumas Fills

And then she owned a small epitome
