We clip the following from the Green
vile Daily News of the 4th instant: "One
of those instances in which the hero for an
extreme emergency is found, occurred at
the residence Of Major Russell, in Anderson
county, on day before yesterday. Maj.
Russells little grand daughter, about six
wears of age, and some other children were
playing on tho lawn, when the little girl
was bitten on the foot by rattlesnake.
Her cries and the announcement OF their
cause carried CONSERVATION among the
family and others present. No remedy
was at hand, and the distress of the little
girls mother was heartrending. DR.. a. x.
Durham, dentist, of this city, being present
on professional business, made himself
master of the situation by applying his lips
to the bite and sucking out the deadly ven
ON, while he sent to procure some whisky.
The whisky being brought, large dose OF
it was administered to the child, and at
last accounts she was doing well, the bitten
foot being only slightly swollen. Those
who were present aud witnessed the cir
cumstauces, avow that the noble and self.
sacrificing treatment of DR.. Durham saved
the child's life. Few. men would have run
the risk involved in drawing the poison
into the mouth and splitting it out, and it
would be avery dangerous thing for per-
sons having sore mouth or decayed teeth
to do. DR.. D. it is said, experienced a SEN
sation in the lips and mouth, but nobly
endeavored and succeeded in extracting the
poison from the wound.

Saturday; undar the management of An

UPON pleasant day through g. beautiful
country, and made its trips without
accident or delay. The company was
and pleasant, and the manage

highest commendation. The scenery at
the falls, was. Of course, a very proml-
nent and attractive feature of the day,
but it's social pleasures also heightened
the enjoyment to which nature so liber.
ally contributed; aud of course the ever
to- -be-f found basket-dinner, which is 9
necessary accompaniment to all we'll
picnics, was most abundantly
exhibited and closely and appreciatively
attended to here. It is thought the Di-
vision will clear something like hun

curately stated that all parties to the ex-'
cursion are thoroughly satisfied with the
results of the day.

and lofty aspirations. There is always a
possibility Of success for those who de-
serve it, and ambition tempered by the
intuitive nobleness of woman is not o
dangerous, but one Of the most admirable
attributes of man. Properly restrained
it has developed great and good men,
and stimulated them to the performance
of labors Of surprising grandeur. 1t
will do no less for woman, when con-
trolled by her fortitude and amcliorated
by her patience. Let then your aspira-
tions be lofty. and your ambition yirtu-
Gus and ennobling. But, Mr.. President,
should at all times be avoided. There is
nothing attractive in blue stocking.
That is q contracted intellect, which is
constantly parading its requirements.
Those who by reading and study have
stored their minds with fund OF infor
nation, which they can only utilize by
making display of what they have
absorbed from others, may be called
learned, but they are never wise.
My auditory must see that the drift Of
my whole argument is to encourage the
practical utilization of acquired knowl-
edge. TO this end would encourage,
even at school, the introduction of some
of the duties of after life, believing that
any one who studies five years and prac-
tices five will acquire more and be better
educated than he who studies ten years.
Practical duties are relief to mental
labor, and would therefore in no wise ro-
tard the progress Of the studious scholar.
Goldsmith says, education should
mean the cultivation Of the intellect, the
refinement of reason, guided by good
taste and not pedantry, so that however
scientific, philosophical or profound the
scholar may be, his learning should only
be shown to society through the medium
of good common sense" Yes, my
impractical. And tho practical man is
usually endowed with good common
sense. Hence in the pursuit after knowl-
edge, habits of practical industry should
be acquired by tho systematic perform
ance of some of those duties which arc
known to be inevitable to womanhood.
In communities where the educated are
all wealthy and prosperous, tho mon
may be gentlemen of elegant leisure, and
the women may never be burthened with
the drudgery of housekeeping. But
have we now or arc we likely to have in
the near future here, or in the State or i'll
the cntiro South any such community? !?
I imagine not. Indeed, some of our
most Intelligent and hest educated citi-
zens arc to-day feeling koenly tho pinch
iDgs of poverty, and are compelled to
perform manual labor to earn their daily
bread, This is nothing to their discredit,
for by thoir characters do they. dignity
their labor, be it never 80 meuial. But
all labor is onerous to those who are un-
accustomed to performing it, and habits
of industry contracted in early life great
| ly mitigate its irksomeness. If an honest
man is the noblest work of God, he is no
less honest, and surely no less noble be-
cause he plies tho hammer behind the
anvil, or earns his living between the
plow handles. 1t is not the profession
! that elevates or degrades the man, but 1t

ing, plane and spherical trigonometry,
and particularly political economy, that
great science of production, consumption
and exchange, which thrusts its teach
ings so minutely into all the affairs Of
life
No man would be so rash as to say that
these studies are beyond the capacity of
women. True, woman was created q
help-mect for man, and st. Peter advises
husbands to treat their wives as "the
weaker vessel" But does this argue that
woman is incapable of receiving the most
finished mental discipline? Unable to
perform as much labor or endure as
much fatigue as man, woman is physical
ly his inferior. Morally she is by nature
as surely his superior, and naturally
nothing prevents her being as capable as
he of receiving the highest intellectual
culture.
In all the catalogues of the Female
Seminaries that have seen, rhetoric and
logic are published as portion of the
studies required, and this to the exclu-
sion of the languages and the higher
mathematics. Why is this? Is it be-
cause the latter are less comprehensive
than the former, or because women are
natural rhetoricians and logicians Few
adult males will deny that women are
innately eloquent, and what man ever
saw woman that could not assign rea-
son for her thoughts2 The anecdote of
the Irishman, who said to his wife, her
tongue must be glad when she was asleep,
for it had no rest when she was awake,
may not apply to all women, but it is
known of all men that women are good
takers and generally good thinkers, and
no father of family can say that he has
not frequently found his wife good
counsellor.
Custom, however, has so long sane
| toned the confinement of the scholastic
course of females to narrower curricu-
| lum than that devised for males, that it
! would seem unwomanly for any female
| to aspire to graduation in any of our
| older institutions But no valid argu.
ment can be adduced to prove woman'a
mental inieriority to man. Ten years
experience at school taught me different

Opera House Burned.

NICE, March 23.-The Italian opera house burned this evening. The fire
 broke out at the beginning of the per tormance. The bodies Of 14 persons who were sutfUcated have been taken out and placed in the church opposite the theatre. 1t is feared that 100 men and women perished In the flames.
 Three o'clock q. m.-UD Co this hour 59 bodies have been recovered from the ruins of the Italian opera house, destroyed by fire last night. IL k feared many more lost their lives. The fire commenced soon after the curtain had risen for the perform ance Of LucIa d. LammermOOr. " Subscribers for orchestra seats and boxes of the grand tiers had mostly not arrived, the majority of the vic tins beng of the lower class. Shortly after the fire began the gas exploded and the house was plunged into com plete darkness. A scene of terror and dismay ensued which beggarS de- scription. A detachment of sailors from the sq.Hdron in the harbOr ar rived on the "rne and displayed great iu ruscuing people and com batting -e fire, which was subdued toward 10 o'clock.

This interference has become indecent.
