COURAGE AND FEAR OF DEATH.-The
Chinese OF the Southern deltas, who
have little active courage, though the
Chinese of the North and West have plenty,
will die for a bride to save a richer criminal
from the sentence he has earned. The
Bengalee, who alone among mankind says
calmly, " ATmee bheroo," Il am timid), as
II cowardice were o matter of moral aud
social indifference, or rather creditable
than otherwise, goes to execution, as Ma
caulay noticed, like a hero, and will en-
counter an inevitable and agoniziug death
without hutter of the pulse. His nerve
is as great as Wainwright's who died with
ont a perceptible change in the steadiness
of his eart-beats, but who, unlike the
Bengalee, with an object before him would
probably have rushed upon the canon.
The Malay, who cannot be induced or COM
PEELED to face rockets, dies as TRANQUILITY as
Cassabianca, and the Ciugslese of the coast,
who'll fight nobody, meets death without
murmur or pRnR.
An English sailor of the old type, who
would face anything earthly except black
cat, has probably twice as much fear of
death as the cultivated woman who can
endure death by deadly operation resign
eddy, and yet faint in the presence Of o
noisy danger. The wild rOmancer Gustave
Aimard, states as fact within his knowl-
edge, that q Spanish officer shot himself
dead rather than cross rope suspension
bridge. An English ensign, just Joined be-
fore, the first Sikh campaign, went to his
commanding officer, a relative, and told
him that he could not face the shot, that
he should disgrace himself, and must re-.
sign: His relative comforted him kindly,
told him that he was only nervous, and he
thought he had soothed his fears, but the
lad, as he stepped out of the tent, shot
himself through the brain, inviting death
rather than meet call upon his courage.

The trial Of an amateur cornet player
named Montrose, on charge of disturbing
the public peace, is reported In the Virgins
City Chronicle. Mrs. johnson, his land
lady, testified that when he came to her
house it was full of boarders, but that many
of them left at the end of week because
they had not slept well. A boarder swore
that Montrose played at all hours of the
night, that he couldn't play more than
three consecutive notes without stopping
to take breath, and that his performance
was of q nature sufficiently excruciatinR to
drive an ordinary man insane. A man who
lived two blocks away testified that no had
once got ont of bed, supposing that the
noise was made by q cow that he had lost
few days before. A second boarder didn't
like the music, and had frequently gone up
in the cation and laid down in an old tun-
mel to get some sleep. He was of the opin-
ion that a man living in the next block
would have no grounds for complaint pro-
vided be stuffed enough cotton in bis ears
to shut out the sound. :" How much cot
ton would be necessary to accomplish that
result =" the prosecuting attorney asked.
" think an ordinary bale of New Orleans
cotton Xxx prime might last q man two
weeks-if his ears were large, like youra,
it might take more was the reply. An old
man, put on the stsnd for the defence, said
the sound Of the cornet lulled him to Sleep
In cross-examinatioD, however, the oppos-
ing lawyer whistled, "Reautiful Blue
Danube" and the witness swore on oath
that in his opinion the tune was "Yankee
Doodle" The only other witness for Mon
trose had never been disturbed by the cor
net, although he slept in the next room
but the fact came out that he was too deaf
to hear any thing fainter than steam whis-
tie. Montrose was fined $40.

+ The annual conmencemsnt Of the College
Of the Holy. Cross was an event long and
Ianxiouslys looked for by the friends o. the
Institution. The exegcises took place on the
evening Of the 18th, beneath THE foliage of
the majestic live oaks and magnolias, which
beautify the extSpsive grounds of the estab-
lishment, whore . stage had been erected and
seats provided for large audience which at an
early hour began to pour in. The number was
Eariously estimated at from 600 to 1000.
The exercises commenced by the delivery Of
the salutatory address by Master Edward Voor-
hies. That, together with the recital of the
Hast speech Of Robert Emmett, was well de-
hvered and heartily applauded. The pro-
gramme, which was very interesting, embraced
dialogues, ROTATIONS, comic dramas, etc. Mas
ters Eugene and Stonewall Breen, Broussard
and Mestayer, In their songs and dramas, carried
the audience. completely away, and not until
they had reappeared was the audience satisfied
Masters Lassalle, Fontelieu, Veazsy, vedrines
and Pecot, were also welfup in their parts, and
rendered them with no little skill and effect.
After the entertainments the distribution of
prizes took place. The prize of honor was
awarded to Master Etienne Maynard; for
arithmetic, algebra and bookkeeping, Master
a. Cogrenheim; eloeution and analysis, Mas.
ter Edward VOORHEES,; modern history and
grammar. Master Charles Foutelieu excel
lence, Fernand Pecot. After the distribution of
prizes short but very excellent and appro-
pirate address was delivered by the Rev. Father
Booker, Sd, in which he highly complimented
the pupils for their excellence and progress,
and eulogized the Rev. President and professors
for the efficient discipline enforced, and useful
and lasting education impaired to the pupils |
placed under their charge. EoGAN.
