" ' ?fost of our young readers will be surprised to hear that the well-known ?ursery sougJ-of .'Mary Had a .Little ILamb7 is a true story, and that 'Mary' ia st?t living. About seventy years .ago she was a little girl, the daughter ol .a Jsrmer in Worcester, county, Mass. -Sie wa? very fond of going with her ?father to the fields to see the sheep, . .and one day they found a baby lamb which was thought to be dead. Kind tatrted~Httle Mary, however, lifted it up in her arms, and as it seemed to breat?e, carried it home, made a wann ~ ,bed near the stove and nursed it tender? ly. ''Great was her delight when, after weeks pf care fal feeding and watching. lier little patient begun to grow well i ind strong, and soon after it was able to run about. It knew Us young mistress perfectly, - always c*?e at ber call, and wss hap . py ody*when at her!side. One day it followed her to the village school, and not knowing what else to do with it, ?he pat H under her desk, and covered it with her shawl. There it stayed >anr?-Mary was called op to the teacher's desk to say ber lesson, aod -the iamb walked quietly after her and the other children burst out laughing. So the teacher had to shut the little girl's p*>t io 4be woodshed until school washout. "Soon siter this a yoong sta dent-, named John Rollstone, wrote a little poem about Mary and ber Iamb, and presented it to her. The lamb grew to be a sheep, and lived for many years, and when at last it died, Mary grieved so mach for it that her . mother -?ook some of its wool, which was 'as r -white as snow/ aod koitted a pair of stockings for her to wear io remem? brance of her darling. Souse years after the lambs death Mrs. JL.Ha3,-a celebrated woman who wrote book*,, composed some verses about I Mary's lamb, and added them to those written by John Kollstone, making the complete poem as we know it. Mary ' took such good care of the stockings made of her lamb's fleece that wheo she was a grown-up woman she gave one of them to a church fair in Boston. As soon as it become known that the stock? ing was made from the fleece of 'Mary's little lamb,* every one wanted a piece of it. So the stocking was raveled oat end the yara cot into small pieces Each piece was tied to a card on which Mary wrote her fall name, and these cards sold so well that they brought the i arge sum of $140 to the Old Sooth Church.-American Agriculturist. baroness Barde tte Coutts, it is re? ported, wears a 'third skio.' It is made of silk, and is so exquisitely fine - and c?ose fitting that few people have detected its presence It covers her whole body from her ankles to her chin, . and they, for she has sets of them, are woven specially for her. They are '% ftesb-colored, of coarse, and hide all ?u wrinkles and ravages of time with the Dacural discolorations of the skin that are the results of age. A German now visiting io this coan-1 ( try, writes to his borne paper as follows, concerning oar colleges : *'Io America ( -ia this land of the free, it is a sad j fact that university culture is a prize | j which is only acc*ssib*e to the sons of %*ich men.'' Bis inquiries were very exact. /4Among the 140 students who had completed their studies at Yale Col? lege this year (1S86) I obtaioed an - h swers from 109. According to their j i reports, the average co&t for the year's j < coarse amounted to $980. There were 1I great differences in individual cases ; one bad succeeded ic getting through at the cost of $?$? a year ; another need? ed no less than $3,500 annually. I know a German porter in the ?tates whose eldest son passed a brilliant ex amination at Princeton ; but father and son agreed that it was impossible to pursue bis studies there on account of the frightful costliness. Study at an American un i vers? tty is a most expen? sive luxury.*' --?>- -4BB^ The Same Dawson. INew York Sun.'} We quote the following innocent and impulsive paragraph from the columns of a contemporary whose ac? quaintance with the history of journal? ism ia rather limited : 'The attack made on Mr. Dawson, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, is a most wanton and un? justifiable assault upon an excellent Democrat and a most estimable gen? tleman, who is an honor to the jour? nalistic profession.' This refers, we suppose, to a question asked by the Sun on Mon? day, and here repeated for the sake of -clearness : 'Who that didn't know the fact would suppose that not more than a dozen years ago Mr. F. W. Dawson, editor of the Charleston News and Courier, was the seedy supplicant and pensioner of the South Carolina thieves V Wanton attacks the Sun Ss not in the habit of making on anybody. Whether the editor of the Charleston News and Courier is an honor to the journalistic profession can best be de? termined after we have exhibited him on his knees to the worst gang of thieves that ever plundered a pros? trate State. This Capt. Dawson is the Capt. Dawson who came from England dur? ing the civil war and enlisted in the Confederate army. After Appomat? tox, the English soldier of fortune drifted to Charleston and found work in the office of a Democratic news? paper called the Daily Neics, The News afterward became tho News and Courier. At the time we speak of, Capt. Dawson's newspaper pretended to re? present the decent peopfe of South Carolina in their struggle to free themselves and their property from the clutch of the infamous ring of carpet-bag adventurers and native scoundrels who owned the negro vote. At the same time Capt. Dawson was in secret correspondence with the igents of Scott, Moses* and John-Pat? terson, soliciting their patronage and >ffering for a few. dolliSrs to promote : ?heir brigand schemes. For ex imple : 'OFFICE OF THE DAILY NEWS, ] CHARLESTON, S. C., J?ov.<23, JES68. J 'My Dear Woodruff : The enclosed s in reply to yours received this evening. You may show it when lecessary, but, do not let it be copied HT ^ept We think it will do all you vant. The fact is, we want to make til we ean, and will go as far as we ian to support-Scott and the Govern? nent if we are treated well. We can ?ot be blind advocates.

DAWSON.7 'My dear Woodruff/ was the cr?a? me and factotum of the boss thieves ? Columbia. This confidential letter >f this eminent reformer and jour jaiist at Charleston was kept, against tis expectation and desire. It came o light about eight years after it was vritten,-during the investigations of he monstrous frauds ia which W?od uff and his principals were impli? cated. ' So did this other equally in eres?ing missive : . 'OFFICE OF THE DAILY NEWS, > /HARLESTON, S. Jan: 30, I860, j 'My Dear Woodruff: What you iave done so far is highly approved.

Now you have the whole pro? gramme and can blaze away at will. ?Ve are willing to lend a helping ?and to any up country project, rail oad or otherwise, and free. Keep is informed. Yours, *F. W. DAWSON.' If a more abject confession was ;ver put on paper by any mercenary iditor, anxious to sell out to scoun Irels and to serve their dishonest chemes behind the cloak of professed nterest in the cause of reform, we do ?ot remember having seen the docu nent. If there could be more distinct ividence of treachery to party, to all )rinciples of honest journalism, to thc ?ause of honest men as against thieves, ve cannot imagine its shape. Capt. )awson, whose 'views of propriety' lid not at that time allow him to in? dulge in personal abuse, wanted to nake all he could. Ile was willing to ?ell the influence of his Democratic jewppaper to the infamous Republican iarpet-bag Ring which the Sim help id to break upf and whose members ?vere afterward driven from South karolina and into prisons and dis lonored graves. Ile was willing to jnff or crush, according as he could >est serve the rascals at Columbia \1I that was asked waa tho State print? ing at an exorbitant figure. To se? cure this he was ready to pay to >fficers of the State Government com nissions-if that is the proper word o use-amounting to forty per cent. rf the audited bill*. This excellent Democrat and most { ?stimab?e gentleman still honors the i ournalistic profession and assumes to pronounce upon the character of the Sun. New York World. Capt. F. W Dawson, of the j Sha Heston News and Courier, who is j ?bout to inflict a $100,000 libel suit j m the New York ?>un, has just re- j .urned from Uome, where the Pope i '''decorated'him'with* the Order of i Gregory the Great in recognition his services in crushing out the io ?8h practice of duelling in the Soul Next to duelling the most fooli practice in this country is t bringing of libel suits against nev papers.

The most important provision re lates to the discrimination of rates ; i is substantially the long and short hau section of the United States law. John J. Cornelspn, of Louisville Ey.,' who assaulted and cowbidec Judge Reid, causing him to com m i suicide, and who was sentenced to jai for three years, has been-released on % writ of habeas corpus by Magistrat? Stofer. The affair created a sensation, because Stofer ignores the decision ol the State Supreme Court. .Mr. * Mitchum 1 from' near~ Jordan, tells os that on his place the young corn waa literally baried in: the ground by the hail, and he says that it will be best to re-plant the entire crop. . The San Francisco Argonaut says ol one of its esteemed local contempora? ries that rt '-has not the courage to de? nounce the rising of the sun in the East because many of its readers live in the West." . The New York Evening Post has been collecting statistics with a view to showing that the schoolmaster is very busy in the Sooth. Some of the figures are remarkable. Thus the -percentage of child reu in Texas who attend school is 79, against 72 in Vermont, and the average daily attendance per cent, is 73 in Florida and 69 in South Carolina, against an average of 63 in all the New England States. Jefferson Davis has written a review of Gen. Woolseley's life of Gen. Lee. Mr. Davis takes exception to many of tbe English Generar? statements, and. while not finding fault with the superla? tive opinion of Gen. Lee's military ability expressed in the book, he shows very plainly that he considers Gen. W-ooIseley's criticisms of other Southern leaders unjust and unwarrantable. The review is written in a very caustic style, and contains interesting matter in the way of inside estimates of the relative value of the services of the Confederate leaders. The Washington Star most stoutly denies the rumor recently put in circu? lation, that President Cleveland would not be a candidate for the second term of office. Among other things the Star says : *What the President did say was that be was in favor of a constitu? tional amendment providing for a single Presidential term of six years. As the constitution has not been so amended, and as Mr. Clevelaud was elected for only four years, there is no reason for supposing that he would not rake a nomination for another four years if his party offered it to him. The manner in which the slippery politician from Maine manages to keep bimseif in the public eye is thus admir? ably pictured by the Boston Globe: .'Does it ever occur to you that Mr. Blaine is quite numerous and noisy in the papers? Mr. Blaine is going west; Mr. Blaine passed through Chicago ; Mr. Blaine is vi>itin? his daughter; Mr Blaine if? sick ; Mr. Blaine is seri? ously ill ; Mr. Blaine is better ; Mr. Blaine has arrived at Chicaco fully restored to health; Mr. Biaiue's broth? er has died ; Mr. Blaine will not see any one to-day because be is depressed ; Mr. Blaine is-was-bas-is-going -coming-will-will not- ding dong, dins dons, din*: dou2 ! c O c Into no other month are there crowd? ed so many anniversaries of important events in American history as the past month, Aprii In this month occurred thc birth of Thomas Jefferson, thc cap? ture of Richmond, thc death of Presi? dent flarrsion, thc first election for presi? dent, the surrender of Lee, the Mudoc massacre, the bombardment and surren? der of Fort Sumter, the birth of Henry Clay, the assassination of President Lincoln, thc issuing of the first call for troops in the war of secession, the abolishment of slavery in the District of Colombia, the death of Benjamin Frank? lin, the battle of Lexington, the opening of the Revolutionary War, the surren? der of Gen.
