Female sailor.

|, In Scotland a woman lately died
whose career. has been one of singular
experience for her sex. Her name was
Betsy Miller, the daughter of William
Miller, a ship owner and wood merchant,
doing business at the port of Glasgow .
Miss Betsy, for she was never married,
was for more thar twenty years captain
Of the good old brig Cleotus, Of Saltcoats.
She received her command from her
father, who at first owned the brig, and
ended by owning it herself. Her father
was also interested in several vessels
which traded directly with New York.
Miss Betsy, before she went to sea, acted
as ships husband 10 her father, an ap.
premiership which gave her all necessary
experience, until her adventurous and no.
mantle spirit impelled her to 20 10 sea as
a business. Her father at first somewhat
reluctantly grati6ed her caprice, but
soon found that Betsy was the best ana
most reliable captain in his employ.
She is represented as having shown re.
markable qualifications for the position,
proving TO be a skillful navigator, a
thorough disciplinarian and an excellent
sailor. In port she filed the position Of
supercargo, and showed remarkable bust.
ness qualifications, which brought the
natural result Of p%ecuniary success.
Bhe could always have her choice Of
foremost hands, as it was considered a
great, good fortune, among the sailors,
70 ship under the command Of a female
captain. Betty Miller weathered the
siorns Of the deep when many com.
manders Of the sterner sex have been
driven TO destruction upon the rocks.
Her story is we'll known IN the City Of
Glasgow.

VERY A CHARGE.

Our Nashville correspondent Goth,
whose letter appears elsewhere to day,
states that Messrs. Finlay aud Peters,
two OF Shelby's representatives in the
General Assembly, have made some very
grave charges against our county OFF.
cials Who we're elected TO office last
August. Oar correspondent writes that
the representatives referred TO allege
that as much as " fifty thousand dollar"
was expended corruptly by some, if not
all the gentlemen who ran on the Dem
ocratic ticket last summer for the difer
emit county officers, thereby placing Sher
if Anderson, Comfy Court Clerk Reilly,
Criminal Court Clerk Perkins, Tax
Collector FARMLAND, County Trus
tee Rawlings aud the others who
GIL places Of trust in this county,
under a charge of the most serious ma
ture, but one which we do not hesitate
TO denounce as false in every sense, as
We believe. OF course it is not asserted
that Messrs. Finlay and Peters make the
indictment ON their " responsibility,
but do so on the report ol-others. The
matter is nevertheless a grave one, Sian.
derous as we think il to be, aud from our
personal knowledge Of the gentlemen
upon whom this reflection is attempted to
be cast, they viii not let II rest in its
present shape. We do not think that the
two Legislators, themselves, place any
reliance upon the trathfulness of this
charge, but rather have made use Of it
to back up the position they have taken
on reform A" in the way Of cutting down
Shelby in her number of courts and the
advocacy Of a sweeping reduction, with.
out rhyme or reason, Of the fees Of
o~ffce.holders. And the argument is a
strong one, If il were true, because If
Eve or six candidates for Office in this
county could afford to spend fifty thou.
sand dollars in acquiring the places, of
courAe the pmolnments must neces.
sarily be enormous Hence the beauty
of reform in this respect. And for
this reason we think Messrs Finlay and
Peters have made The assertion which
Goth tells Of, and which we believe
cannot be sustained. We are honestly
of the opinion that II all the gentlemen
who we're elected to Office in this county
last August were compelled to make the
effort, could not, combined, raise to-day,
the half Of fifty thousand dollars in cash
from their bsh means and resources.
They, however, will speak for them
selves.

Garibaldi sons are OF little account.
They look like the b'hoys that used 10
wear soap locks and hang around Moy-
amensing HOsehouse, whose highest am
bition was TO run with the machine.
and whose browning glory was TO arrive
first at the en%gine.house al midnight
when there was 8 FIRE, seize the trumpet
BY right OF first corners, and 20 yelling
through the streets like demons. Such
are the sons Of Garibaldi; OF at least
such are his soBs by his FIRST wife. In
1860, Garibaldi made a romantic mag
risge with a Marehese Raimonda, a fast,
fantastic, rich young Eombardy girl, VINO
adored the hero of Aspromonte. A
thousand naughty scandals are told
about this marriage. The facts were
striking enough to create gossip; they
separated Immediately after the marriage
within the very hour of the ceremony
and have never met since. | saw this
lady aboard the Royal boat three years
ago next simmer at a regatta on Lake
Como, and gave you the sad history
then. After his Sieilian and Naples
campaigns Garibaldi retired, as YOU
know, to the Island Of Caprera. There
he took TO himself a tally wife. after the
manner Of his King, Victor Emmanuel.
She is a peasant woman; Francesca she
is called. By her he has another family
Of children. The eldest. is n girl, Clelia,
who is the idol Of her father, une enfant.
terrible, q yeritable savage; she haunts
the Wild cocks Of the island, catches
them in her little arms, wrings their
necks, jumps and screams with fierce
delight as she does it, and her father de
lights in her savage feat-adores her.
1t is said that this wild young mink is
now with her father. If Garibaldi con
cludes to establish his domestic conrt at
Villa Mellina, of course Francesca and
her babies will also go there.

Byron wrote ''The Corsair" in ten
days, at the rate Of two hundred lines a
day, and sent 1t TO the press as it was
written, published it with hardly a cor
rection. Lope de Vega wrote three
hundred dramas for the stage in one
hundred days. The average amount Of
his work was nine hundred lines a day.
Voltaire wrote "Zaire' in three weekly,
and "0lympie" in six days; Dryden
wrote his Ode to ST. Cecilia" at a sit

Browning's poems, 1.-THE Lady Geral
