The March of Culture.

An exchange says: Given
comparatively recent settlers on
the coast must be struck with
the astonishing progress in cult
ure and refinement our western
communities have made in the
last few years ago. At Dead
wood, for illustration, not two
years ago, when a man was shot
down he was permitted to lie
just where he fell, to be trodden
on by mules and muddled up by
passing stages and what not.
Now, such is the pressure of an
improved public opinion, that
even the most ignorant shooter
hangs the corpse over some fence
where his friends can find it at
night, and very many even drop
a postal card to the widow.

CHARITY.

When you meet some one suspected
OF some secret need Of. shame,
. And fer this by all rejected
Asa thing of evil fame;
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of beartless blame,
For The slanderer's vile detractioh
: ! Yet may soil thy goodly name.
When you meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in, 4
. Working out his own undoing,
With his recklessness and sin;
Think, if placed in his coalition,
Would a kind word be ia vain?
Or look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again?
There are spots that bear no flowers,
Not beause the soil is bad,
But the Summers genial showers
Never make their blossoms glad;
Better have an act that's kindly
Treated sometimes with disdain.
Than by Judging others bEndiy,.
Doom the innocent to pain.

LAST OF THE VESFUCcI.
The Fair Descendant Of the hran
Who Gave His Name to
America.

Atlantic Monthly
A decided sensation was caus-
ed at Washington during the
Van Buren, Administration hy
the appearance there of a hand
some and well-educated Italian
lady who called herself America
Vespucei, and claimed descent
from the navigator who gave his
name to this continent. Ex-
President Adams and Daniel
| Webster became her especial
friends and she was soon a well
come guest in the best society.
In few weeks after her arrival
she presented a petition to Con-
gress asking, first, to be admit
ted to the rights OF citizenship,
and secondly, to be given ''cor-
ner of land'' out of the public
domain OF the country which
bore the name of her ancestor.
An adverse report, which was
soon made, is one of the curios-
tiles Of Congressional literature.
1t eulogized the petitioner as "a
young, dignified and graceful
lady, with a mind of the highest
intellectual culture, and a heart
beating with all the enthusiasm
of our own in the cause of A
merica and human liberty" The
reasons why the prayer of the
petitioner could not be granted
were given, but recommended
her to the generosity of the. A
merican people. "The name of
America-our country's name
should be honored, cherished and
respected in the person Of the
interesting exile from whose an
cestoP we derive the great and
glorious title" A subscription
was Immediately opened by Mr..
Sergeant-at-Armso Of the
Senate, and Judges, Congress
men and citizens We'd with one

Just then it was whispered that
Mad. Vespucci had borne an un-
enyiable reputation at Florence
and at Paris, and had been in
duced by pecuniary consider
alton to break off an intimacy
with the Duke of Orleans, Louis
Phillippe's oldest son, and come
to Washington. Soon afterward
the Dukes younger brother, the
Prince de Joinville, came to this
country and refused to recognize
her, which virtually excluded her
from reputable society. For
some years subsequently she re-
sided in luxurious seclusion with
a wealthy citizen of New York,
in the interior of that State, and
after his death she returned to
Paris.

Webster's Financial Weak

Persons who knew Webster
intimately in his early life were
wont to. speak of him, to put it
delicately, as entirely devoid of
business methods and business
ideas. Charles Sumner men
toned, more than once, an ex-
perience he had with the god
like Daniel, whose successor he
was (1850) in the national SEN
ate. 1t was while Sumner was
practicing law in Boston, years
before he had acquired any
general reputation. lie and
Webster had defended the Com
monwealth in a suit, and had
been allowed $1,000 each for
services. One day Webster
stepped into Summers Office and
said, "I'm going over to the
State House, Sumner, to get my
81 900, and I'll get yours, too,
if you like" Sumner, it seems,
had some knowledge ofShis as
sociate's peculiarities, end de-
clined the proposal with thanks;
and, when urged, declared en-
phatically that he preferred to
let his money remain where it
was. "All right, then" replied
Webster, and departed. But
when he went to the State House
he drew Summers fec as well as
his own, the clerk having no
doubt that he had been author
lied to do so; and the eminent
barrister, it is understood, died
indebted to his young colleague
for that amountl WOulH
Webster's fame was that he
never took any notice of his
debts, and that he was totally
reckless of money. All he want
ed was supplied by his Boston
admirers, and it slipped through
his fingers like quicksilver. He
appeared to be so fully aware of
his idiosyncrasy as to jest about
1t.

The Origin Of eating Grow !

The phrase, seating crow,''
has by general use been accept
ed as descriptive of the situation
of partisans who feel compelled
to support candidates for Office
who, for any reason, are distate-
full to them. The origin of the
expression is not generally
known, and therefore the follow
ing may be of interest: The first
allusion to Seating crow was
made in the Knickerbocker
Magazine a little more than a
quarter a century ago. 1t was
a story Of a summer boarding
house keeper on the Hudson
and of an indignant patron.
Whenever the latter ventured
to suggest that the spring chick
en- was rather tough, or that the
roast beef must have been cut
from the cows hoof's, he was
directly told that he was entirely
'too perticeler," and that the au-
tocrat of the table andthe house
could eat anything, even crow.
This settled the matter for the
time being, but the boarder, con-
vinced against his will, was of
the same opinion still, at all e.
vents, in regard to the quality
of the edibles placed before him.
So often was the remark, 81 kin
eat anything; / kin eat a crow"
brought down on this devoted
head that he finally resolved to
try the old man. He went out
cunning one day and succeeded
in bagging a very fine, fat, old
black crow. lie went into the
kitchen, and by idint of soft
words and filthy lucre, induced
the cook to allow himtoprepare
the crow for the table. He BOIL
cd it nicely, and it wasn't such
a bad looking dish after all. His
heart misgave him; the flinty old
cuss would eat it after all. The
cook was a Scotch woman, and
used snuff. He borrowed all she
had, ,sprinkIed it literally over the
crow, gave it another simmer,
and then, taking it in on a sal
yer, brought it before, the host,
as he sat it down, "Npw,
my dear sir, you've said a thou
sand times,if you've said it once,
that you can eat crow. Here is
one carefully cooked" 1t is
said the old man turned pale for
a moment, but braced himself
against the back Of his chair,
and with "I can eat crow" he
began, cutting a good mouthful.
He swallowed it, and then, he
looked his boarder straight in the
eyes, while he calculated, M'ye
eaten crow" and took his sec
ond portion. He lifted his hands
mechanically, as for a third on
but dropped them quick
ly over the region of his stom-
ach, and, rising hurriedly, NUT
tered as he went, "but hang me
if / banker arter it." 9dt i

good patriot, and escaped th'
observation of a party of Com
missioners who entered the house
As soon as they were gone, ht
began to think of making his
way out of the city as fast as
possible. When he arrived al
the Place Belle-Cour he found
parties of the gendarmery dis
persed everywhere. Porral went
into a house, and, making known
who he was, entreated an asylum.
The inhabitants were women,
timid to excess; but the desire
OF saving an innocent person
made them courageous. They
conducted him into a garret, and
concealed him behind planks that
were standing in corner.
The gendarmes arrived; they
searched the house; they came
into the garret where Porral was
concealed. Here they found a
large cask, the top of which was
fastened down by a paddock.
They asked for the key; the wo-
men went down stairs for it..
When they were gone one of the
gendarmes leaned against the
planks, while a second said:
'Twould be droll enough if
we were to find one of the fugi-
tiyes in this cask."
"More likely plate or money!
says a third, ''for it seems very
heavy"
The key at length arrived; the
cask was opened, and found to
be full of salt. The gendarmes
swore at their disappointment,
visited the roof of the house, and
then retired. In the evening
Porral, dressed in woman's garb,
with a basket ON his head, and
another on his arm, passed the
bridge of La Guillietiere, and
quilted the city.
Gabriel, another of the fugi-
tives, concealed himself among
the bushes in the marshes of the
Trevaux Perrache, where he was
nearly frozen to death, but he
got away to a place of safety. |
One young Conchoux,w who was
OF the five that had opened the
way OF escape, made choice of |
his father, who was nearly eigh-
ty years Of age, as one of the
fifteen; but the poor old mans
legs were swollen, and he was
scarcely able to walk. !
"Fly, my sonl" said he; eff |
thou hast the opportunity, fly |
this instant! | command it as
an act of duty; but it is impos-
sible that ! should fly with thee.
l have lived long enough-my
troubles will soon be finished,
and death will be deprived of its
sting, if / know that thou art
in safety"
His son assured him that he
would not quit the prison with
out him, and that his persisting
in his refusal would only end in
the destruction of both. The
father, overcome by his dutiful
affection, yielded; and, support
ed by his son made his way to
the bottom of the staircase, but
to ascend it was out of his pow
er; he could just drag his feet
along, but to lift them up was
impossible. His son, though
low in stature and not strong,
took him up in his arms; the de-
sire of saving his father gave
him renewed strength, ,and he car
ried him to the top of the stairs.
His tilial piety was rewarded, and
both father and son escaped.
