To the Editor of the Ledger.
My attention has been called to an
article in your issue of tie 81 inst.
which | think does me some injustice.
The article is headed Biographical, -
and purports to give a sketch OF the life
Of Charles Bryson Simonton, represents
alive of Tp,en county. That portion o!
the article TO which | object reads as fol-
lows: Before the people he was OBJ.
posed by three independents, George B.
Egglestou, Zack Taylor and j. P. Stur-
divant. The former of these was in
tensely bitter, if not ill.tempered, in his
canvass, and when a collision seemed
inevitable Mr.. Simohton, by his c~oolness
and tact, invariably triumphed. His
majority over his highest opponent was
III votes. The whole article reads like
an autobiography, and was evidently
penned by the hand of Charles Bryson
Simonton himself. The fling at me
is a piece of personal malice, ad.
mirably in keeping with the sneaking
character OF the subject of this bio
graphical sketch. Captain Simonton, it
is true. was elected by a very small ma
j0rity by clinging with desperate tenacity
to the eoa'-ssils of Tilden and Heu-
bricks, and from the fact that the oppo-
sition vote was divided between three
independents as stated above. He and
a few others who we're personally inter-
estei in his election also spread far and
vide throughout the county the most in
famous f~alsehoods ADD ISLANDERS about
me. When these were traced home to
him, and had given them the "lie"
direct through the columns of the county
paper, and also to bis face on the stump.
it was t5en that a collision did " seem
inevitable to me. But by eating dirt
with the most marvellous " GOODNESS and
tact the collision was averted, aud
be Invariably triumphed" Ia coRclu-
sion | will say that | have no objection
to Captain Simonton's enjoying all the
newspaper puffery that he can write for
himself or that his friends can write for
him, 1t is both cheap and nasty"
and he is very welcome to it all. Neither
do | wish TO reopen a political
that was fraught with so much that was
v%illainous and disgusting. But | do
seriously protest against being advertised
as a man given to bitterness and ill.
temper.

story OF a parrot.

Exaggerated ideas of the intelli-
gence Of parrots have been enter
tanned by some, who, misled by the
amusing oppositeness with which
they often utter the sentences they
have learned to speak, have too
hastily concluded that they fully
understand the meaning of what
they say. There is, indeed, a well
known and often repeated story of
a parrot in Brazil which excited
much speculation two hundred
years ago, and which Locke thought
worthy of a place in the midst Of a
grave philosophical discussion in
his essay OF the human understand
ing, which has been regarded as in
dicating something of this kind /;
but it is not more wonderful than
many other trustworthy anecdotes
of parrots, which may easily be ex-
planned by supposing these birds to
possess-asthey certainly do possess,
in common with other animals
memory and association Of ideas.
Locke quotes the story from Sir
William Temples memoirs of what
passed in Ohristendom from 1862 to
1879. Sir William Temple says. 81
had a mind to know from Prince
Maurice's own mouth the account
of a common but much credited
story that | had heard so often
from many others of an old parrot
that he had in Brazil, during
his government there, that spoke
and asked and answered questions
like a reasonable creature ; so that
those of his train there generally
concluded it to be witchery or pos.
session." lie accordingly asked
prince Maurice about the matter,
who told him hal having heard Of
the parrot, he sent for it; and that
when it was brought into the room
where he was, with a great many
Dutchmen about him, it presently
exclaimed "What a company of
white men are here?:" They asked
what he thought that man was,
pointing to the prince. The parrot
answered; "Some General or 9TH
err" When they brought it close to
him, he asked; Whence came
you?" 1t answered: From Ma
rinan." The prince then said
"To whom do you belong" The
parrot replied: To a Portuguese.
The prince asked; What do YOU
do there? ?" 81 look after the
chickens" The prince laughed,
and said: "You take care Of the
chickens p The parrot replied
I" Yes, and | know well enough
how to do it Ii" and began to cluck
like a hen calling chickens. The
parrot appears only to have been a
well trained bird, accustomed to
say certain things, and ready to say
them, but them only on occasions
such as arose from the presence of
the prince and his attendants and
the questions addressed to it.

The st. Louis Times prints a
letter written at Lexington, Mo-,

mantle episode in real life as fol-
lows:
Tolbert Hickland, a young gem
tleman residing some two and a-half
miles from the city on the Dover
road, had arranged for his nuptials
with one of Lexington's fair dam
sells, Miss Fannie Jennings, on
Thursday last. He had been pay
ing his addresses to her but a few
weeks previously, and all arrange
ments had been completed for the
c~onsummation of the happy event
at the time appointed, at the resi-
dence of the father Of the Young
lady. Preparations had been made
for an elegant wedding supper, also
the presence Of a member Of the
cloth, for whom the groom ex-
pectant was 10 call with a carriage
at 7;3O o'clock in the evening. 1t
appears that a Mr.. Russell Gather,
of this city, had also been paying
his addresses TO the same young
lady for some time past, and on
the day preceding the day set for
the wedding called to see the
lady and proposed an elopement
with her on that very day. She
readily assented, and after the fam
lily had retired both she and her
trunk were stealthily spirited away
from her fathers domicile, and she
and her lover, after considerable
difficulty in procuring the services
Of Q clergyman, were united in
wedlock and crossed the Missouri
river at the dead hour Of midnight,

that the bird had flown. In the
family Of the father of the young
lady there was also another Young
lady, poor but estimable, and quite
pretty, to whom had been offered
the comforts of q home-Miss
Alice Haywood. Thither Mr.. Hiek-
land bent his way on learning The
talthlessness Of his afhaneed, and
arranged that the preparation for
the elegant wedding supper should
not be for naught, and that he
and Miss Alice should DO mar
ried at the appointed time and
place at which he was to have been
married to Miss Fannie,
s&ln the course of the day these
facts were quickly circulated and
discussed by all. During this time
