ANECDOTES OF TOM BENTOX.

The Missouri Statesman and Old Ilickory--His Opinion of Douglass. Hon. Jolin F. Darby delivered a lecture in St. Louis the other night which contained many personal reminiscences of Thomas II.

Benton. The speaker said that when licnton was first nominated for the Senate the opposition to him was very hitter. One opponent, Phillip Dubuque, had said that he would lose his life armed rather than vote for Ilenton, and it required the strongest efforts of the members of the French families to moderate their views. The convention was held at the old Missouri hotel, on Main street. In one of the rooms a delegate lay dying, and four r.tout negroes were placed one at each cornor of the bed, and ho was carried to the convention, where he cast his vote for Benton and died.

'When Benton went to "Washington, Missouri had not become a State, and it required the compromise bill of Henry Clay to gain its admission. He was kept out of his seat about twenty-two mouths, but in all this time he kept busy and acquired the Spanish language, having already learned French from his associations with rench families in St. When the great treaty was made with Spain he was the only one in the United States Senate who could read the document. He was always at work, and Mr. Webster once paid him a neat compliment, saying the Senator from Missouri even spoke on a subject he evinced such sound and thorough research that he was always edified to hear him." The speaker gave some reminiscences of Andrew Jackson." A description of the old hero was unique drawing him with spectacles lifted on his massive forehead, and smoking a killickinick out of a long-stemmed pipe.

It had been said with truth by visitors, foreign nobilities, and all others, that Jackson had the most elegant manners of any of the Presidents. Washington had been dignified and austere, but Jackson was affable and easy with all. Col. Benton never availed himself of the summer holiday, but while others were at watering places recuperating and taking pleasure, he passed his time in the congressional library at hard work and study. Hi; ability was so marked that the sentence of Dr.

Harper's Magazine for July. I ho Genius of Temperance is apt to appear to the dram-drinker in one of two forms either that of the religious zealot, who opens the door of the bright warm bar-room on a winter evening, ooks crloomily in. and savs, tersely, You're all going to or in that of the constable, who says, in effect, "You sha'n't drink." These remarks are addressed to poor people whose homes are not inviting. What alternative is offer ed to them If you send them out of the bar-room for fear of where shall hey go? If you take them legally by he collar, and turn them into the street, will they find it xleasanter than tho room from which they were expell ed Now. it is not wise for those who liquor laws are trying to send the bar-room into a dark damp cellar, and make it disagreeable every way, provide in its place a resort which shall be agreeable in every way? If a very large part of the money which is ex- pendend for lectures and papers and racts upon the evils of dram-drinking were devoted to mantammg resorts pleasanter and more attractive than the corner grocery and the brilliant barroom, the good cause would certainly irosper no less than now.

That would jo putting the wits of temperance men against the dram interest, as the striped )ig was the wit of the dram interest against temperance. It would be lushing home the victory won by send ing the bar down cellar, because lor every forlorn loiterer whose home is jut a cold, dark, desolate chamber it would provide a cheerful and attractive larlor, with games, papers, and innocent drinks. This would be legitimately fighting he devil with his own weapons. It would be a kind of "moral suasion' which the severest advocate of severe aws could not deprecate. It would be the introduction of a kindly wisdom in- a movement which often seems cold as the water it reveres.

The Genius of Drams woidd lie balked and bewildered by an attack which borrowed its tactics from his own. Undoubtedly it would take money and time and trouble. But a community which is not ready to pay that price ior temperance is not yet ready to buy. Preaching the wickedness of dram-drinking, and enforcing irohibition even at the point of the bay onet, will not be so efficient an assault us turning the fiank of the enemy by making other resorts for recreation cheaper and pleasanter than dramshops. "Vliol-Ox Soup.

In Australia, where the horned stock ias increased of late in a more rapid ra tio than the population, the supply of meat is much greater than the demand and at the present time the price of cattle is commonly, quoted at boiling rate;" that is, the animals will fetch no more from the butchers than can be realized for their hides, horns, hoofs, tallow, for exportation. In large establishments, devoted to preparing those utilizable portions of the bullock, there was, of course, an immense waste when the ox went into the melting-pot; uiit this loss is now a great measure avoided by boiling the animal at once nto soup, or concentrated extract oi eef. After the head, horns, hoofs, ire removed, the meat is cut into con venient-sized pieces, and conveyed to immense steam-tight double cylinders, capable of holding fifty bullocks at a ime. In seven hours, during which hey are subjected to a steam-pressure of fifteen pounds to the square inch, the bones and meat are reduced to a pulp. The steam is then condensed, and the tallow, which floats on the sur face, drawn off.

The pulp is removed and placed in a powerful press, wind squeezes out the soup, lhe latter is, however, not yet sufficiently contracted, and to render it so, it is placed in a peculiarly-constructed boiler, there re duced by evaporation, and finally run oft into bladders. hen cold, the essence is senii-transparent, of a rich reddish-brown color, and sweet to tho smell and taste, almost like confectionery. whole bullock, after being thus treated, yields but twenty pounds of soup. The Largest Hook in the "World. The trustees of the British museum are in treaty for the jmrchase the Hill i i il t-i copy oi tne largest dook in tne world.

Toward tho close of the seventeenth century the reigning emperor of China appointed an imperial commission to re print one vast collection all native works of interest and importance every branch of literature. In the be ginning of the following century the commissioners completed their labors, and were able to lay before the emperor a very palpable proof of their dilligenre in the shape of a compilation consisting of volumes entitled Km ting koo kin too shoo tselh ching," or "An Illus trated Imperial Collection of Ancient and Modern Literature. Only a small edition was printed off in the first instance, and before long the greater part of the copper types which had been cast for the undertaking were melted down and coined into cash Accidents by lire and by violence have considerably reduced the number copies of the imperial edition originally printed, and it is believed that only comparatively few are now extant. The trustees of the British museum having become aware that one such copy has lately been offered for sale at Pekin, have entered into negotiations for its purchase and it is much to be hoped that thev sueceed in adding this rare and interest ing collection to the national library.

Send 25c. for sample to Hollenbeck Co. Kansas City, Ma. Lerwick, Shetland. From Harper's Magazine for July.

On the hill-side rising from the north shore lie the clustering house's of the town of Lerwick. Like tho towns of the Orkney Islands, it is a curious jumbling together of low, gable-roofed, small-windowed houses. The general air of the place savors of the Low Countries towns. The short-skirted women, with white frilled caps, heavy clothes, and often wooden shoes, almost astonish one when they speak English instead of Dutch. Over the winding, crooked street with the great paving-stones the veritable Shetland ironies clatter along, and the carts lumbering behind them make a dull rumbling.

It is on market days that Lerwick dons her holiday dress. The little quays, privately owned, and jutting out into the waters of the bay, are alive with men, women, and children. It is the custom on such days for people of the neighboring islands to enter their boats, and, with their cargo of peat, set sail for the town. Often there will be great numbers of these well-laden boats entering tho harbor, and swarming around the riiers like bees about a hive. The women leap from the boats, and slinging the basket of peat over their shoulders, start off for the nearest shop, that they may barter for this and the other.

The men, left behind, clothed in rough tarpaulins and odd home-spun clothes, lazily fasten their boats, and pass the news with their friends. But not only do visitors come from seaward. From tho central part of the island from the regions of solitude and peat-bogs numberless troops come winding over the hill behind the town, down the slope, to the marketplace. It is a quaint sight to watch them. The little ponies, shaggy of mane, and with long, handsome tails, are heavily burdened.

They have no bridle, only a string about their neck on their backs are pack-saddles, often so covered with bags of peat, or perhaps grass, that the pony is scarcely to be seen at all. If by chance, after all the goods are crowded upon the docile animal's back, one small portion of the ramp appears, the good woman, his master, leaps lightly 011, and away goes pony, bags, and woman to tho town beyond. When this collection of ponies, men, women, and children is seen together, the sight is very picturesque. All look so odd, are so animated, that one long remembers it. After tho day's trading is over, away go the boat-loads, singing and laughing, the women pulling the strongest oar.

Over the hill tho long file of ionics and riders wend their way home ward. An Exciting Moose Hunt. ram the TJoston Journal The Bangeley lakes in Maine, their beauties and the splendid fishing to be lad from their waters, have been but ittle known till within the last four or ive years. It was reserved to visitors this year to enjoy an adventure whit-h, in all probability, has never occured lefore. The principals were Mr.

Yat- son Lewis (of Lewis, Brown Co.) of our city, and son, and Messrs. Chase and Sargent of Haverhill, who were spending a fortnight in the woods and on the ikes in fishing, and David T. Haines, guide with Mr Lewis and Fred C. Ba ser, guide with the gentlemen from Haverhill. The party were on Thursday Lost seated in their boats on what is known as Lake Cupsuctue, enjoying themselves with rod and line, when all of a sudden there appeared an enormous buck moose.

It was but the work of a few moments to haul in the lines and put the boat in motion, and in a shorter time than the story can be told the race in all its ex citement had commenced, ihe moose was game and snowed his powers to 1 1 -I 1 good perfection, not only in the lake, but also on the land, over which his nimble feet pursued their way at a speed which nearly lost him to his pursuers On the water and through the woods the chase was kept up for some two miles, resulting at last forcing the animal again into the water; then, after some smart rowing, he was approached near enough for the pursuers to throw a lasso over him, which was accomplished fine style, the rope passing over both antlers. And now began the real sport. The rope, which was drawn securely, was attached to the two boats which were in at the catch, and for three miles, with scarcely a break, the moose dragge the boats after him. The progress of the moose and boats was rapid. The moose showing symptons oi beinc: thoroughly tired, and the riarties fearing that he would die under the unusua exertion, he was headed to the shore, where, at a place designated as Camp Frve, he was successfully landed.

The camp was occupied at the time by Mr, Frye, member of Congress from Maine, and his family. The moose was kept in cord for some three hours and then al lowed to depart into the woods, where it is hoped he will continue to thrive these many years. Kevolnt lonary Orthography. This is the exact fashion in which the brave and briliant Francis Marion once wrote to Gen. Greene as in a letter just published for the first time: "Sr.

I had the honor of wrightmg yon the 10th instant, Inclosed a treaty made il. -r wnnAamey since wnicnxnndtne great est part of those people will snbmit- few of them pretends to Stand out I am Just on the march tomarsblnf where I shall pass the river and march to the north hue where the Disappmted live hope in ten days to put an End to the Expedition and Leave this part of the country in peace. Fanning went of two days ago with sixty-one men to Chas. to till his place. Ho had the power through ability of retaining position more than any other man in the United States Senate.

He opposed the railroad system for a long time, and made some disparaging eotnparisons between Illinois ami Missouri on that score. One day, ropre-Henting a railroad committee, Mr. Darby went to Col. Benton to seenrehis aid in a scheme for the benefit of tho city and State. He spoke of Douglas hav ing favored the movement in another direction as being conducive to his personal DonularitvMn his designs on the Presidency.

Benton replied, "Douglas van never lie President; his legs are too iuort, and his coat-tail hangs like a cow's too elose to the ground. Benton then did help them, and the speaker stated that he had his frank on a bill which he introduced in the thirty-first eongress. providing for the location of a eenral highway to extend from St. Louis to San Francisco. His speeches read better than they were delivered his eloquence and rea-s ning were the most powerful which this country has ever produced.

He never used the phrase "fellow-citizens" in his speeches, but the plain "citizens." He always spoke of himself in the third per-son, in this wise: "Cicero was to Cata-line as Benton is to that nullifier, Calhoun." In one of his campaigns up the country alter a speech, Mr Darby said to him, "Colonel, I believe you arc making an impression on these people." He replied emphhtically, "always the case, sir always the case. The terms of Thomas II. Benton and tho people are synonymous." He once spoke at Boonville and then at Fayette. At the latter place he said, 'I spoke at the town of Boonville last night. Before I came old Doc Loury and others of his class said I would not be there; but when I arrived and com menced speaking, they walked in quiet- lv and took their seats like a lot of dis reputable characters at a baptizing." At another time he was the guest of James S.

Bollins, who showed him great attention After a speech Col. Benton had made Mr. Bollins got a morning pa-nor, and finding its comments of a unusually strong in praise, ran up with it to Col. Benton, who was still in bed. "Have von read it, sir? Does it do justice to the subject?" The reply was that it did.
