"a very grand head" says Paris
correspondent, sis Gambetta's. The
lines are ample, and express power at
its ease. About the temples and over
the eyes the development of the fore
head is abnormal. Gambetta's superb
ority is not of q kind to awake jcal-
ousy. 1t is very manifest, but it is so
ualloyed with egoiism, and ii is so
soltened by good fellowship, that a
man OF talent, who feels small in the
presence of the great tribun, does not
for that feel Inundated. Gambctta
enjoys companionship more than 'soci-
ety. as society is understood in our
time. He likes clever women if they
are unaffected, and he does not believe
woman's conversation can charm
man Of intellect unless it is the out
come of much study, observation and
long sustained mental efforts. The
professional beauty would DC neglect

lighted up by wit"

people desire. the young men OF the
State 10 combine labor with theoretical
instruction; and the flowing quotation,
taken from the catalogue of a similar
institution, is thought to expires fully
the public sentiment. viz: That pro.
tracted course OF study without labor,
"wholly removed from sympathy with
the laboring world during the p.riod Of
life when habits aud taetes are rapidly
formed, will almost inevitably produce
disinclination il not inability to perform
the work aud duties Of the farm, but to
a complish the object Of the institution,
it is evident that the student must not,
in acquiring scientific education, lose
either the ability or the disposition to
labor on the farm. If the farmers are
to be educated, they must be educated
on tie farm itself; and it is due to this
large class Of our population, that facili
ty for Improvement second TO none other
IL the State be afforded them. 1t is be-
lieyed that tie three honrs work, that
every student is required TO perform on
the fam or in the garden, besides sery-
ing TO render him familiar with tile use
of implements and the principles Of
agriculture, is sufficient also to preserve
habits of manual labor, and foster taste
for agricultural pursuits.
