a MODERN LEANDER.

Paul Boyton having crossed the English
Channel in his life-preserving suit, is about
to give an exhibition of his apparatus and his
swimming powers on the Rhine and Danube.
After astonishing the Inhabitants on the
banks of those beautiful and historic streams,
he will proceed to the Hellespont and emu
late Leander and Lord Byron in swimming
across that famous water.
He should bear in mind that neither Lean.
der nor Byron had any life-saving apparatus,
but struck out boldly, without an inch oil
rigging on" Leander, sustained and upborne
by the hope of clasping Hero in his dripping
arms, snd Byron, by the determination to be
the one other man to achieve the daring and
arduous feat.
If Boyton swim, therefore, let him take of
his "fixins" and enter fairly against his
famous rivals, who never dreamed of life
preservers. Fancy what greeting Lean der
would have received from his beautiful
and expectant Hero had he crawled out
of the briny and boisterous Bosphorous in
the ugly rig in which Boyton emerged
any hing but masculine Aphrodite-
the waves of the British Channel. Fancy
how the shrieks of the lovely maiden would
have wakened the echoes Of the Archipelago
as the hideous monster advanced to clasp her
in his preposterous arms, and think, too, how
efectually it would have smashed the ro-
nance of the thing. Go it nude, Captain, if
you don't want to be laughed at.

THE DEATH OF SENATOR ANDREW

The telegraph has just brought to Us the
news of the death of Senator Andrew John.

in Carter county, and on Wednesday morn.
ing was stricken with paralysis From the
moment Of the attack but little hope was en-.
tertained of his recovery, and the fear has
been warranted by his speedy death.
Few men have ever occupied prominent
political positions in this country whose
careers have been more chequered, or whose
positions have attracted 30 much of the
earnest and thoughtful attention of the people
at large. ~.
As President, Vice President or Senator, il
fell to his lot to be compelled to take stands in
politics which necessarily attracted towards
him the expectant eye OF the nation. His
course has often been SUBJ ected to the severest
criticism, and at times, even censure. yet his
election as United States Senator from Ten
nesses was received with great Joy by the
people of the South, and great hopes
were entertained that with him as promi-
emit party leader the Democratic side of the
Senate would be enabled to work much good
in the coming session of Congress The
South has beyond question lost, in his
death, one of her ablest supporters and
staunchest friends, and has good cause for
Grief -.s--.=

LOBgfelIOw's Youth.

correspondent of the Chicago Journal,
speaking of Prof Henry W. Longfellow' i
student life at Bowdoin College, Maine, says
"Before he graduated he had written some OF
his clerical poems, early showing the bent of
his genius. He was fine classical scholar,
and in reyiving old memories while at Bruins
wick he said that certain examination in
Horace probably gave turn to his whole life.
He had spent considerable time on one of the
hardest odee, and went into examination
hoping that that ode would be assigned him.
1t turned out to his wish, and one of the ex-
aminers was 50 much impressed with the
scholarship and taste of the young man that
he urged his appointment as Professor of
Modern Languages. Thus it came 70 pass
that Mr.. Longfeliow gained his first distinc-
ton as Professor in the college whose very
name may be strange to halfthe readers of the
Journal Before assuming his duties as
teacher he spent year in Europe, rare
privilege in that day, and in itself enough TO
excite great ex pectations

The Palace of the TujlerieS.

A Partisan correspondent, in recent letter,
writes: F" The Palace of the Tuileries is posi-.
lively to be reconstructed, and that as speed
lily as possible, or rather as soon as the neces-
sary appropriations have been voted by the
Assembly. The present project is to re-
build the ruined palace after the original
design of Philibert Delorme, that is,
with the Pavilion de rHorlcge in the
centre. and united to the end pavilions by
laternal wings, slightly slanting In the old
building, it is to be Strengthened. Between
the palace. properly SO called, and the pavili-
ons of Floro and Mars, terrace raised on an
open colonnade is to be constructed. Along
the Eiysees o footway over sixty feet in width
is to be left for promenaders. The sculptures
for the facade are already in progress When
finished, the new palace is to be called the
Palais des Arts, and the present intention of
the authorities is to place therein the gallery
of modern paintings now at the Luxembourg,
where it is badly arranged for lack of space,
and is, moreover, too far out of the way of
tourists and transient residents of Paris. If
this project is ever really carried into effect,
the result will be great gain to art lovers in
Paris by thus concentrating the treasures of
ancient and of modern art under one roof"

Dear Sri have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt OF yours of the 18th ult, in which you
state that the courts will most probably affirm
the validity of issues of bonds under injunction,
the State having virtually no defense. The

Gently addressed the Council on the subject of
Louisiana bonds, which, they inform ls, are held
in Holland to large amount. have the honor,
therefore, IN accordance with the Rotterdam
Stock Exchange, to request that, if possible, an
agency be opened in Europe for the conversion of
the bonds. s
Council are OF opinion thst compliance with
this request is no more than is due TO the bond
holders by the State Of Louisiana. " .-r

Your most obedient servant, V -

The answer to the above can only be copy
of the recent decision of the Supreme Court
and the calling of attention to the Funding
Bill, which designated the places at which
agencies for the exchange of bonds shall be
established, and a declaration to the effect
that the provisions OF the law must be carried

THE wool clip Of this year is now com ing in. It is estimated that it will amount to about 10000 pounds in Pima county. Fully, Ochoa & Go. sold their wool to Mr. Lazarus at lI1I cents per pound. Larkin W. Carr brought to town this week about 15,O00 pounds of excellent wool. His clip would have been about double had it not been for the scab that broke out among his sheep last Winter, but that will be remedied in the future.

THE Sonoita valley is again occupied by busy farmers, who have planted more land this year than ever before. This IS a beautiful little valley; the former settlers were mostly killed by the Indians and with the exception of Gavena, we believe that not one of the old timers are left, but we hope and believe that those who occupy it now will have a better fate. There are a good many fruit trees already set out in the valley and they all look exceedingly well. We look to see many beautiful homes there before many years.

LOCAL MA TIERS.
The Ball on Tuesday in Aid of Pub-
 lie School Building.

The ball to aid in building the school house came of Tuesday evening, and was one of the most pleasant entertainments ever witnessed in Tucson. The Park Gar den with it's forest of green trees and great variety of beautiful flowers, never appear ed so beautiful before. It was splendidly illuminated and looked like fairy land. MT. Levin, who gave the use of the place free, Is deserving of great credit for the taste he displayed in the arrangement and his liberality.
 An excellent band was in attendance and dancing was kept up until about 12 o'clock, when fine repast was served, af- ter which the lottery was drawn and af- forded a great deal of amusement, as well as gladdened the hearts of most of the young ladies who Were the recipients of some very pretty prizes. The party ad- Journed about o'clock, a. m., aud we be- lieve that each and every one went to their homes with light heart In consideration of the good time they had and the cause they had served.
 We hardly know how to express our gratitude to the ladies who originated and carried this entertainment to so success ful termination. Through the eXertion of Mir. Ochoa and the ladies every dollar that has been raised for the construction of the school-house has been obtained, and when completed it will be the best monument they could have erected to per petuate their names, for It will live in the hearts of the little ones long after they have passed away. Their work will les sen the burthens of the taxpayers, by de- creasing the expense Of punishing crime, for the statistics of the country show that in proportion as school-houses go up, the necessity for the use of jails is leSsened. {. The splendid building being erected will enhance the value of every piece of pro- perty in Tucson, and will afford a place where the happy boys and girls can go and receive an education and learn to bless God and love each other for the com |. fort and blessings they have received.
 The net proceeds of the ball amounted to $Sl2. The completion of the school house is now assured, and that too, by the time the Fall term commences.
 Again we return thanks to MT. Ochoa, the ladies and citizens who have so gener- ously contributed to this good work.
