The ablcst Judge. having the most
vigorous native intellect, and profound
est thinker and logician, holding place
to-day on the bench in the South, is Ham
Chalmers. the extraordinary young man
just elevated to the Chief Justiceship of
Of Mississippi. His brain is massive,
his brow imposing, his intellectual train
ing admirable, his professional learning
and acumen extraordinary. He is the
younger brother of Major General Chal-
mers, q son of the late United States
Senator from Mississippi. The bar and
people OF Mississippi alike confess the
wisdom and learning Of the youthful
jurist, the youngest chief justice that
ever won the ermine at the hands OF
true representatives Of the Intelligence
and patriotism OF a Southern State

black bear, which is certainly well
trained. At the proper moment it
rushes from behind the scenes, over
mimic rocks and cascades, and at
tacks Bill with tremendous vigor.
For about five minutes Wild Bill
and the bear hug each other very
fiercely, until Bill manages to stab
the animal with a remarkably
bright bowie knife. Then the bear
rolls Bill on the stage, and both
continue to roll over and over until
at last the frontiersman is seen ly-
ing uppermost, but still in the
bears terrible hug, when the cur
tain falls amid frenzied applause.
SO far as we could last night OBJ
serve, the bear was not muzzled,
neither were his claws cut. He is
doubtless an intelligent and good
natured animal; but some night it
might come to pass that Wild Bill
might suddenly find himself Sc
riously in need of more formida-
BILE weapon than a tin bowie knife,
while the audience would yell and
cheer and smoke their cigars, and
wonder chow they can make that
seem like real blood" "

advocated by them have not met
with favor.
The associations, however, in this
city for the industrial schools and
for the State charities aid and
inspection, as well as those for
sanitary work during the war, have
been notable exceptions to this.
They have been composed of the
very flower and pink of our society;
ladies who united the utmost grace
of manner and knowledge of the
world to the most devoted spirit OF
humanity and earnest piety; who
employed the sweetest attractions
of their sex and the highest fruits
of culture to draw the Indifferent
and the prejudiced into paths o.
mercy, compassion and public use.

in our public boards, we shall bC
sure that our official charities have
infused into their dry organism The
highest spirit Of humanity.

Another historical Illusion Dissi-
pRted,


The well-informed youth known
as "every school-boy," if he were
asked where Christopher Columbus
was born, would answer promptly
and confidently, "In the city of
Genoa" But some documents re-
Gently discovered prove beyond a
doubt that "every school-boy"
would be mistaken. Columbus was
not even born in Italy; he was a
Corsican. The Revue Politique ct
Literaire, in giving publication to
the documents alluded to, explains
that he was indeed born in the re-
public of Genoa, but not in the
city of Genoa. The great Admiral
first saw the light in the town of
Calvi, situated in Corsica, which, in
144O, the year of his birth, was
subject to the Genoese republic.
In the records o. that town the
register Of his birth has bon dis
covered as follows: "OhristOfOre,
son of Domencio COLOMBIA and
Suzanna Rosa Fortuna, is born in
Calvi." The record o. his baptism
is also given; and the n,.mes Of the
parents, which are certainly those
Of Columbus father and mother,
leave no doubt of the identity.

A OnrIoua WnrAr.

The following auecdote illus
trates the truth of the proverb
anent the slips between the cup and
the lips;
A few years before his death the
Emperor Nicholas, of Russia, sent
a looking-glass of rare size and
beauty, with an emba sy, to the EN-
press of China. The looking-glass
had to be carried all the way from
st. Petersburg to Pekin by human
hands. Despite theimmensedis
which had to be performed in this
manner, the looking-glasS safely
reached China; but, in the mean
time, difficulties had broken out
between Russia and China. The
Son of Heaven neither admitted
the embassy, nor did he accept the
present. A courier was dispatched
to st. Petersburg, who asked the
Emperor what was to be done with
the looking-glass. The Emperor
replied that it should be carried
back by the same route, and in the
same manner. When he gave
this order the Grand Duke
Michael happened to be present,
and offered to lay a wager with
the Emperor to the effect that the
looking-glasS would be broken on
the way back to st. Petersburg,
The Emperor accepted the wager,
and the bearers of the looking-glasi
received stringent orders to be al
careful as possible. If they should
break it on the road they would bt
severely punished; but if they
should bring it back safely they
would receive a handsome reward
They carried it back with the most
incredible care, forty men bearing
it by turns, and safely reached St.
Isaae's palace in st. Petersburg with
it-where the Emperor stood with
his brothers at the window of the
palace, and laughed at having wor
the bet. But on the staircase o.
the palace one of the carrier;
slipped his foot and fell down
dragging several of his companions
after him, and the precious look.
ing-glass was broken into a thou
sand pieces. The Grand Duke
therefore, won his bet.
