Oeuilcmtti;?There having passed in my
utfice (Justice of (he Peace) a scene of great
interest and inoet rare at any time and place,
^ I cannot refrain from communicating the
^aaroe to you, believing that you will concur
with me in the opinion that an act so liuiuble
and worthy of the best qualities of hu
inau nature, deserves to be commemorated
* by moans of the press.
I About 8 o'clock this morning, a tumultuciu
assemblage of the people invaded uiy
house, bringing in with them a venerable
looking man. They inquired for the Justice*
On demanding of them the reason ol
a semi-riotous collection, they all began to
speak at once, so I was for a time unable tc
comprehend what was the real state of the
ease. Having, however, at laat obtained si
let**, the old man addressed roe thus :
I "Mr. Alcade, having buried my wife, th?
mother of these four lads, I ordered thisoue
named Joee Maria, to take charge of the otli
or three, who have already made choice ot
their elder brother's profession. These two
Ataftacio and LHonisio, are both married I

The fitlWV ha# hardly finished speaking
when the geroitdfia dispute commenced.
Atanadb, tW second son, wild that his
father hHdng been Idtberto living with his
cider brother, it was pow his torn to have
possession of hiin by order of birth. Dionisio
contended that hia brother Alnnacio
could not bo with his father because ho hnd
h great deal to tk>, and could not give his
father the attention he required. The fourth
son. Julian represented to ine, that it properly
belonged to him to support his father,
as he was the youngest and unmarried.
1 In truth, I knew not what to resolve, my
heart was so affected by the extraordinary
picture presented to me. As I contemplated
this SCCtic jir"8TW5TftfOlhe" Old man," Cleincuto,
said : "My dear children, iny heart
over flows w itb tptipfacl.ioii in witnessing your
disputes whicrr of you shall take charge of
your old father. I would gladly give content
to all, and therefore propose that I ba
permitted to breakfast with one, dine with ' li
another, steep in the house of the third, nnd 1 n
keep changing from day to day, hut if you ! a
do not consent to this, let his honor, the' t
judge, determine what ahall l>e done with ' li
ine." J n
The young men unanimously objected! f<
this proposition, because tbey said their fa th /
er would lead an idle, errant, unquiet life.? U
I then pitq?o*ed to write 011 separate pieces ci
of paper the names x?f (he sons, nnd let the i
deciktun of chance settle the question. While I o
I wrote these pn]K*in and doubled thein.and i<
put them into the hat of Clemento which ser-j d

his hopes of being the lucky receiver of iho "
desired price. 1 lie old man put his trenin- b
lous ham) into the hat and drew out the c<
name of Atauacio, the accond son! My A
friend*, I hardly kuow liow to express to h
>ou the new scene which then broke in up- h
on me. Antnnacio, "upon hearing his name
called out, broke into |>THises of the Omnia V
cicut for according him such a boon. With h
his hand* chusped and eyes directed to ltcav ?
he repculcd ovet nnd over liis thanks, b
then fell upon iiU knees before his venerable h
parent, and bathed his snudlcd feet with v
team of frantic joy. t!
The otlter brothers followed bis example, <'*
and embraced tlie feet of the good old pat- t!
birch, who remained like a statue, oppress- l'
?-d wi|h emotions which he knew not how
to trice vent to.
Such a scvuu as this molud all who witnessed
it, among whom were the lieutenant
?.f police, the Ateade Don Alfano, and some
other friends. Hie brothers then retired, !'
hut S4H111 roturued with a fresh demand? J1
a hioli was that I should command that ^
once Atahado had hceu favored by lot with n
die charge of the father, ihey should not be 11
deprived of the pleasure of taking out the
old inan to walk by turns in the afternoon, c',
which order 1 gave magisterially, in order to 1
gratify these simple, honest people, and ?
they then retired contented. J.
The humble family is of Indian extraction
and is named Villavicencio. They are nn 1
tivea of tl?o valley of Chorillo, but at present 1
reside at Cnllao.

Cause.?Vacuity in .he cranium. It is* i
tten augmented by flattery, especially when J
nc cerebrum is small and ill-siiaped. M *.u ;
f large information, however, are some- \
iuies afflicted with it, ill which case is there
l>uiiu an inordinate swelling 111 the upper j
egion of llie head, ju6t back of the apex

itnes so iufatunted as to attempt to ntiide

These are only a few of lbesymtonu>
>f this malady, but enough to identify it. |
Treatment.?When it is caused by emptiness
of the cranium, it is only necessary to
ill up the vacuum with good ideas, a solid
sducation, or common sense. When indu;ed
by dimvnulivenesa, or malformation of
brain, the cure is slow and dillicult. We

They were telling a good story at Austin
of what befel some Galveston passengers on
llie way up in the stage to the seat of Government,
mad wags all of them. I mention
no names, but peibaps their friends may recognize
a trio if I designate them as Col.
Curd Wood, Lieut. Topo, and WHg, Esq.,
They reached a point withiu three or four
stages of Austiu, when a pert-looking, talkative
lady, with a democratic uont-eare a
tivencss in her actions, entered the coach,
and nt once announced her mission to be a
visit to one of her neighbors to congratulate
| him upon having recently killed a Know
| Nothing.
Here was a tartar? but the party saw
thai there was fun in her, and determined
I upon extracting it. P. Wag, Esq., at once
begged permission to introduce Lieut. Topo
as the leading spirit of a Know Nothing
lodge down tho country.
"A Know Nothing, is heP questioned
the irate lady.
'He is."
' Well, if ever I should catch him in my
house, courting oneof uiy daughleis, I'd run
i him out with Uio dogs, and then send the
! niggeis to dig his tracks out of the yard. I
: scorn 'em!"
' Hut here is Col. Coid Wood, my good
; woman; he is President of the Know-Nothing
party in all Texas, and??"
i "Vt*. 1 know him?I recollect him of old.
I remember him when he escaped from the
'l'eiir.ossee penitentiary, ran oft' with another
iimn'it w ife, and came to Texas. He's a
specimen, and thero's plenty more like biut
in the organization as you call it. If I w as

This practice was one day made the theme
of conversation in a large "party in London
where Dr. Franklin dined. The philosophers u
and diviners of the company joined unanimously
to execrate it, and many sensible ft
and severe things were said against it, that <}evciy
body seemed willing to give it up to j]
; its father, the devil, except a \oung officer, n,
| whose ugly contortions s Bowed plainly 5,

much as you please against duelling, hut I v<
will never pocket an insult for all that. If tli
any irtan atfronts me, I will call hiin to an Kj

The philosophers and divines looked at 8t,
each other iu silence, like fools who had shot j,|
their Inst holt.
Ilere Doctor Franklin took up the cud- p?
gel, and looking at the vonng officer with a )n
emile rental ked, "This, sir, puts me iu mind bt
of what lately hapi?ened in a coffee-house in w
Philadelphia."
The young fellow rather pertly said he j
should like to hear what lately happened in |
a Philadelphia coffee house.
' Why, sir," continued the Doctor, "two
gentlemen were bitting together in the coffee
house, w hen one said to the other, "For nj
heaven's sake, sir, sit further oft", and dou' 1 h(
poi.ton me , you smell as bed as a polecat. ^
"Sir," retorted the other, "what do you 0|
mean ? Draw and defend yourself."
"O, sir," quoth the first, "I'll beat you in
a moment, if you iusist upon it; but lets see ^
first, how that's to mend the matter. If you

A letter from Mr. 13eebec, dated February
i 4tli, contains a brief narrative, wbich cannot
j fail to bo read with satisfaction. It is as
follows : "The case of a lad, abont twelve
years old, lias interested us much. Ilis father
is a wicked man, and a bigotted Armenian.
The boy wished to bo a Protestant;
to which his father furiously objected. But
ho was firm iu his determination; and, to
escape the wrath of his infuriated father, he
took refuge with the Protestants, For sev- e
oral days his father hunted hitn from house ^
to house, as if he had hecn a beast of prey, y
but w ithout success. Indeed, for one or two u
nights lie found a -heller under Mr. Perkins' rl
roof. At last, despaiiing of finding his son, a
ihe father lodged a complaint with the au- li
tboritics of the city, which we were ready v
to meet. An officer was sent to the Protes- p
lants, demanding the presence of the boy at
the Pasha's. This order was, of course,
promptly complied with, and I accompanied
two of the brethien thither. At the Pasha'a, f(

face ; and be bore himself like a Ijero. Ilia
story was simple nod straight forward, that |
lie intended to be a Protestant; and if his j
father would receive him as such, ho would jj
return with him ; otherwise, he did not wish
to ieturn. But his father declared he would ^
not receivo him as a Protestant; and he was
told by the Pasha that his authority over _
the lad was at an end(; that his son could
be a Protestant if he wished, and go where
ho wished. The father showed the spirit
with which he was actuated by seizing the !'
lad's shoes, which had been left without, as
he left the Pasha's presence. Thus the l?oy 4
was obliged to return in the mud without ?
his shoes."
