This is an error. Th^trd cooli( is Itengali, and signifies lrer, and is not Chinese at all. It is by the populations ol'seaboard towrho (br the most part, speak in etioh with the foreign residents, is called "Pigeon English," to dosite a particular class of i-inployei*s. ero are "coolie riggers," "coolie eapeis," "coolie deek-hantls," "house cos," etc., but they form a separatechiom the population around them.

Webster who said:— "It is only shallow-minded pretenders who make either distinguished origin a matter of personal merit or obscure origin a matter of personal reproach. A man who is not ashamed ol liimsell, need not be ashamed of his early condition.

It did happen to me to be born in a log cabin, raised among the snow-drifts of New Hampshire, at a period so early that when the smoke lirst rose from its riule chimney, and curled over its frozen hills, there was no similar evidence ol' white man's habitation between it and the settlements on the rivers-of Canada. Its remains still exist. 1 make it an annual visit. I earn* mv children to it, and teach them the hardships endured by tho generations before them.

I love to dwell 011 the tender recollections, the kindred ties, the early _affections, and the narrative and incidents which mingle with all I know of this primitive family abode. "I weep to think that none who then inhabited it are now among the living, and if ever I fail in affectionate veneration for him who raised it and defended it against savage violence and destruction, cherished all domestic comforts beneath its roof,and through all the lire and blood of seven years' revolutionary war shrunk from no toil, no sacrifice' toserve his^-ountry and to raise his children to a condition better than his own, may my name, and the name of my posterity, be blotted lrom the inomorv of mankind."

KXI»KIIKXTS OI DITKM.TSTS.—In the days of Peter the (Jreat duelling in Hiissia went very much out of fashion by reason of tho'inonarch's passing an edict that any man ,who challenged another should be hanged, whether the meeting took place or not. (general /ass and the Prince Dolgorauki nevertheless discovered a means ot repairing their wounded honor. "We mav not fight, prince," said the general," 'but let us both stand 111 yonder embrasure, against which the enemy are directing their lire, and remain! here until one of us is struck."

This sagacious proposal being accepted, both accordingly repaired to the spot indicated, and in tho presence of their own army as well as that of Sweden, stood erect, with one hand on the hip, and looking fiercely at each other, until tho prince was cut in two by a cannon ball."

If this proceeding was not very sensible it was at least a fair one, and the same may be said of that professional proposal'of the physician who suggested that himself aiid his rival should select at random from a couple of pills, the one poisonous and tho other inocuous. A duel between a barber and a grocer, with razors, resulted, on the contrary, as might have been expected, in the victory of the former, who had, of course, precisely lie sumo advantage as is enjoyed in pistols by th? better shot.

THK DKCAPITATKH II KAD.—During the progress of the Paris Exposition, one of t'lio side shows that attracted the

United States some time ago, but of which everyone knows the secret now. In this case the sight-seers entered a room that was separated from another bv a grating. In this room was a plain table", upon which was a head appar-

TERKE-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, JULY 2, 1870.

Tin: cross. ,j

The erucirtJtlmi has never been painted. No artist, however sincere, has had either the daring or power to set it before 11s as it was. The pencil aud the brush fail to represent the details of such a death.

They

arc too coarse and

horrible to find expression in a mere picture. 'True, every stage in tho agon\ of Jesus lias been made again and again tho subject of representation but all have left us with a feeling that tho re must have boon mueh more bohind which 110 artist could sot down. We are familiar with the various renderings" of the trial in the judg-ment-hall, the scourging, the act of crucifixion, and the figure ol Jesus 011 tho cross. IJut in every one there is a special halo of solemnity shod around the scene. There is a redeeming air ot sad poetrv about it, which is heightened bv the patience of that Divine lace and 'the wondering misery of that white-haired mother and tho weeping Magdalene. We can find 110 true picture of the crucifixion. But this we can do: we can steadfastly resist that conception of it which dims our^ sense of its terrible truth we can retuso to let it stand apart from the rudeness and suffering in one of sentiment and religious romance. If not, we miss thatquick sense of the Lord's sympathy with men which sanctified the tribulation of the first disciples, and may consecrate our own, however coarse and hard it may be. In these days the cross is an ornament. It is now jewelled, gilt, pretty. It tinkles among the trinkets oftho* mincing girl, who hangs it round her neck belbro the glass. It is worn by tho painted harlot, as well as bv the simple nun rudeness—its burning,

We forget its blushing shame.

A NATIONAL ANTHKJI.—Whenever there is a strike of dissatisfied workingmoil in any city ot 1* ranee, tho strikeis give expression to their feelings by inarching through the streets singing the Marseillaise. Whenever an individual in ant part of France suiters wrong at the hands of a judge or public functionary, he takes revenge by singing, or attempting to sing the Marseillaise. When the studonts of a medical college in Paris quarrel with their Professor, they indicate their feelings in the premises by driving him from his chair r.nd singing the Marseillaise. In short, whenever a Frenchman anywhere in France, is subjected to any indignity or outrage, or feels

much discontented, or gets highly excited he betakes himself to public highwav, or private apartment, where he sings, or thinks about singing, the Marseillaise. It is a happy thing for a. Frenchman that ltougct de Lisle composed for them suchastirring rcvolutionarv hvnm as the Marseillaise.

THK TKUE LIFE.—The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat and drink and sleep to bo exposed to darkness and the light to pace round in the mill of habit, and turn the wheel of wealth to make reason our bookkeeper, and turn thought into an implement of trade —this is not life. In all this but a poor fraction of consciousness of humanity is awakened, and the sanctities still slumber which make it most worth while to be. Knowledge, truth love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to the mechanism of existence the laugh of mirth that vibrates through the heart, the tears that freshen the drv wastes within, the music that brings childhood back, the prayer that calls the future near, the doubt which makes 11s meditate, the death which startles ,us with mystery, the hardship that forces 11s to struggle, the 'anxiety that ends in trust —are the true nourishment of our natural being.

Pol'L'LAIHTY OF NKWSL'APKRS.—TllC Amcric.tii liook^rUfVH (riiidc tcllw us that the very exellence of newspapers is one reason of their great popularity. They are full of road talent and versatility, and reflect the life of the world. They are adapted to a busy people who desire to be told in a few words exactly what is uppermost. But they do not foster writing which may be termed literature. On the contrary, they foster extravanice and thrive upon bold and startling (fects. They encourage in the jniblie .mpatience of thorough examination and full statement, without which it is impossible to get a clear and perfect view oftho whole of JIIIV thing. Newspaper readers, as a rule, are averse to reading books, although they do not object to possess them, and, if prosperous, buy more or less.

MAIMIKN MAX.—There is an expression in the face of a good married man who has a good wife, tlifU a bachelor's cannot have. It is indescribable. He is a little nearer tho angels than the prettiest young fellow living. You can soo that his broad breast is a pillow for somebody's head, and that little fingers pull his whiskers. No one over mistakes the good married man. It is only tho erratic one who leaves you in doubt. Tho good can protect all the unprotected females, and make himself generally agreeable to the ladies, and yet never leave a doubt 011 any mind that there is a precious little woman at home worth all tho world to him.

NKW COOKINI AITAKATUS.—To prevent what cooks describe as "burning," it is proposed to employ a vessel having a jacket or inner lining of tin, or other proper metal. The jacket has a nozzle or lip, and being filled with water, is placed 011 the fire by this means the Inner space or compartment of the jacket is heated with dry heat, and so adapted as to receive a partially roasted joint of meat, or any other substance roquiringtobe eompletly cooked. Tho whole of this apparatus is inclosed in a vessel which is covered with some substance which is a bad conductor of heat.

PROORKSS IN CHINA.—China is really moving. While the gigantic strides are being made in other quarters, the Mongolians are also sounding the toesin of progress. The small feet question is being discussed. Shall parents be admitted into the Christian church who pimtinue to compress the feet of their children? One Chinese mother, a church member, has expressed her determination to let the feet grtify in in the natural way.

—Mark Twain produces one of tho most striking cases of meanness on record. lie says he knows of "an incorporated society which hired a man to blast a rock, and he was .punching jwwdor in a hole with a crowbar when a premature explosion followed sending the man and crowbar out of sight. Both came down again all right and the man went to work again promptly. But though he was gone only 15 minutes. the company 'dock't hiin for lost time.'"

A NKW ORLEANS toper argues that intoxication is the only safe condition, because a neighbor of his was drunk for two weeks and went through many perils safely, but was killed the morn:ng after lie Iwenine sol»er.
