IA Lash of languages. II

A French saYant, q member OF the
Academy, wished to ascertain the prog
ress of the teaching OF language at one
Of the English universities. Having
some friends among the professors, he
announced to them his visit, and the OBJ
ject Of it. His English friends deter
mined to give the academician y high idea
of these studies, and for this purpose
resorled TO rather extraordinary means.
They chose twenty OF the students best
acquainted with Greek, Sancrit, French,
dress as peasants, and go out on the
road at some distance from the univer-
sity to meet the stranger. He was pro-
ceeding quietly along, rejecting upon
the high Importance OF the study Of the
languages, and the pleasure that he had
experienced since he was upon English
sofi OF speaking with the inhabitants as If
ne were o native.
All.at once a peasant, apparently, ap-
proached him, and asked him In Latin
II he could render him any service;
soon another accbsted him In German;
then O third and q fourth, and finally q
whole troop Of peasants addressed him
| in all the languages Of the world. The
academician was overwhelmed with as
ltonis hment, and arrived at the univer-
sity tull of admiration at the phenQme-
non. ssMessieurs,n y said he to the Eng
ilish professor, II have no further need
Ito examine your teaching; you are I'M
qnestionabiy the hrst masters In the
world; your learning has spread through
ali the surrounding places, and your
peasants even know more Of the Ian
guags than our students at Paris.D
He desired to know, however, II the
sign language was taught with success
at the university, and accordingly they
promised TO present him the best Of their
pupils OF this class, For this purpose
they gave instruction To q servant Of the
mouse, one-eyed, and little stupid, that
la Fsench gentleman was expected there.

A Desperate killed by a Boy.

Says the llependence Kan. Courier,
December 81: From s. 5. Peterson we
learn that Cal. Coker, the halt-breed
Cherokee who killed Isaac Journeycake,
a prominent citizen Of The .Nation, some
time last June, met similar fute the
day before yesterday at the hands OF a
Delaware boy, Cokers trial was to
nave taken place yesterday, but on
"Wednesday he escaped rom his guards
and started 10 Lightning Creek to see
his wife.
On the way he met young Delaware
named Love, who was the principal Wit
ness against him, riding along the road
with sack OF fuur on The horse before
him. Coker at once attacked him with
a revolver. Love drew pocket-kniie
and began carving the desperate in re.
turn for the pistol shots. Every time
Cocker shot, the boy would ward of the
weapon, and at the same Time strike his
assallant with the knife.
When Coker had emptied his pistol
both now on the ground-he drew a
large knife, and the fight became more
desperate. Finally the boy with his lit.
tie knife struck the fatal spot, aud Coker.
the desperate, who mad been tor years a
terror to tine people Of that section, ell
u corpse az his feet. The boy, however.
was cut and stabbed almost beyond re-
cognition, and simultaneous with the
dying groan of the desperate, the brave
youth Tell to the ground nearly exhaust
ed from the loss of blood and severe pain
from his wounds. He started on his
hands and knees for home, a half mile
distant, but luckily had not proceeded
far Until he met an acquaintance.
Alter his first expression OF horror and
surprise at the appearance OF the in
trepid young fellow, the stranger asked
il he had met Coker. "Yes," replied the
boy, "he is down the road there watch
ing my sack of -four" The boy was
taken home and medical aid summoned,
and it is now probable that he will re
cover. Every peaceaDle citizen OF tht
Nation will rejoice over the death o
Coker, for his deeds are many and oI the
most desperate character. III the Dela
ware Council don't present young Love
with a handsome medal tor his bravery
they will neglect an important duty.
