A HEW HISTORY
To the Editors of- the Evening Post :
When Buckle, the profound English scholia
ar. the patient investigator of scientific truths}!
the enthusiastic student of history, lay dyingl
in a foreigu land, the victim of excessive in H
telle.ctual labor, his last words were, in the|
delirium of his fever, ''My book ! Oh, my J
book !" There is something indescribably j
sad and touching in this death-wail over an|
unfinished work which had absorbed thel
whole strength of his manhood through each y
successive year. We all read with admiring !g
reverence of the devotion, the elaborate prep 1
aration, the untiring industry with which hel
had given up his days to his "History of En-a
glish Civilization."
Few of us dreamed that in our country therejj
was a singularly modest, silent, unwearying!
scholar who, before Buckle conceived his un-jS
dertaking, had sat down to the composition of :l
a work which the English historian's
achievement, had it been completed, would!]
have formed but a partial segment. Amosl
Dean, L. L, D., af Albany, has for more thanv
twenty years been engaged in writing a histo-|
ry of civilization, of a scope and comprehen d
siveness ot design beside which the efforts off
Buckle and Guizot dwindle into comparative*!
insignificance. Mr. Dean is now a man, 1
should say, of at least fifty-five years, but a.-|
hale and vigorous as one just entered on hi? 3
prime.
For nearly twenty years he practiced lav. ;?
in the city of Albany, and while young com-Y
piled his standard work on medical jurispru-n
dence, but for the last decade he has takecVj
the active management of the Albany Law
School, where he has delivered from one tiAs
two lectures a day. He was elected some 1
years ago chancellor and professor of history
in the University of lowa, but resigned the
2x ecu tion of his appointed ta&fc. During*
A LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWSPAPER, DEVOTED TO POLITICS, EDUCATION, LITERATU RE AND MORALS.
nearly all this time he had been .reading,®
studying and collecting authorities for the lit-fi
erary undertaking to which he had conseera-S
ted his life. For the last ten years, denying!
himself the pleasures of society and shunning!
the ttliuremeuts of office, he has devoted onte
an average eight hours ofevery weekday to the*
completion of his plan. Discarding any parTf
ticular theory to which to bend his facts, he!
early decided in his own judgment, that the*
great principles lying at the foundation of alia
historical development, are included in whatfl
may be termed the six elements of humanity.H
These are, according to his division : 1, In
dustry ; 2, Religion ;8, Government; 4, So
ciety ; 5, Philosophy ; 6, Art.
According to this simple but all-coinpre
heading method, he has pursued his labors
with a quiet energy, an enthusiastic and pa
tient devotion, a continuous industry, which
are the sure exponents of a strong mind and
an earnest purpose. He has appropriated a
large share of his income to the purchase of
books with direct reference to his great work
and he now has one of the finest private his
torical collections in our country. Most of
his authorities were imported from England
and I saw on his shelves some rare volumes
from the library of the lamented Buckle.
Mr. Dean has now completed his "History
of Civilization," with the exception of inter
polating such additions as the historic resear
ches of the last twenty years have developed
fin regard to the early civilization of the East,
and such modifications as scientific discover
ies have made in the social and i/idustrial as
pects of modern times.
His great work closes with France and En
gland as the two countries where the highest
civilization had been attained, and when pub
lished must fill twelve or more volumes. It
would seem that this is one of the most ex
haustive histories ever written, and the lite?
rary world will wait impatientiy for it's ap-
Ipearance. Tt will form a complete register of
the world's progress, arnd place the name of
its author in the fron". rank of historians.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 29, 1805.
y DEAR BROTHER TOM . I wrote to you some
six months ago. and feel quite uneasy about
I you, as not a line has reached me since your
letter last June. I now repeat to you that
matters and things are getting worse every

too, has gone the way of all fle-h, and mar
ried an officer with that detestable eagle on his
shoulder. And now. pnll out your handker
chief, and prepare for the worst, my poor
brother Tom. Your old sweetheart, Anna,
the one to whom you dedicated your sweetest
verses, and whose melodious voice so oftenp
mingled with yours in days of yore, who defi-jg
ed both generals and the whole Fifteenth Ar-H
ray Corps, who was sent first South then
North, but upon whose rebellious tempera
inent no climaterial change could have the
least influence, she. too, has hauled down the
J stars and bars, and is about to surrender at
discretion. I should not have believed this,
but to convince myself I passed her house
the other night with a gentleman who protects

out the state of her political sentiments from
her musical programme.
Take it like a man, Tom! for i must tell
you that I heard very distinctly the words of
i •'Rally Round the Flag,'' and ''The Union
S Forever, " sung in her best style, with a glori
vgous tenor voice mingling with it.

J. a. ADAMS ON THE TRAGEDY OFg
OTHELLO.
When John Quincy Adams was President,
he was traveling incog, through New York
State; and never having seen Chancellor Kent,
concluded to give him a call. He readied
his bonse quite late in the evening, and with
out sending up his name was ushered into the
library, where the Chancellor was busy read-|
ing. He looked up from his book, requested
I the unknown visitor to be seated, and resum
ed reading. Afler looking around for a few
minutes, the President addressed the Chan
cellor, and the following conversation ensued:
"I see you have a great many books here,"
said the President.
"Yes."
"I see you have Shakspeare" said the Pres
ident; "have you ever read it ?"
"Yes."
"Do you know the moral of Othello?"
"Certainly; every one knows the moral of
Othello," said the Chancellor.
I "What is it?"
"Why, to beware jealousy, etc."
"No, sir, you are wrong."
"What is it thenT' said the Chancellor,
greatly surprised.
"The moral of Othello," said the President,
"is that a white woman must not marry a
black man."
At a dotikrine so novel, and atnoral so origi
nal, the Chaikco 11. >r concluded that his visitorl
was an Hoiped h natic so he ran to the door,
calling, "Willian ! (his son) come up here
there is a crazy 1 an in my room." As soon
as John Quincy could sufficiently control his
laughter to speak, he introduced himself, and
the Chancellor then had some doubts as to
his sanity.
A GEORGIA WEDDING.
The preacher was prevented from taking his
part in the ceremony, and a newly createdjus
tice 01 the peace, who chanced to be present,
was called upon to officiate in his place. The
good man's knees began to tremble, for he
had never tried the knot, and did not know
where to begin. lie bad no "Georgia Jus
tice," or any other book from which to read
I the marriage service. The company was ar
ranged in a semi circle, every one bearing a
tallow candle. He thought over everything
he had learned, cyea to

over the room admonished him that he must
proceed with something, and in the agony of
desperation he began—
"Know all men by these presents that I' —I
here he paused and looked up to the ceiling,l
when an audible voice in the corner of thej
room was heard to say :
"He is drawing a deed to a tract of land, I
ami they all laughed.
"In the name of God, amen !" he began!
again, only to hear another voice in a loud!
I whisper say :
"He's making his will, thought he could
not live long, he looks so very bad."
"Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray,"—
was the next essay, when some erudite gentle
man remarked :
"He is not dead but sleepeth."
"Uh, yes ! oh, yes 1" he continued.
Some person out of doors sung out, "Come
sjinto court !" and the laughter was general.
The bride was near fainting, and the Squire
was not far from it; being an indefatigable
man, however, he began again.
"To all and singular, the Sher—"
"Let's run; he is going to levy on us,"
said two or three at once.
Here a gleam of light flashed across the
face of the Squire. He ordered the bride and
groom to hold up their hands, and in a solemn
voice said :
"Y'ou. and each of you, dosolemnly swear,
in the presence of this company, that you will
perform toward each other all and singular,
the functions of husband and wife, as the case
may be, to the best of your knowledge and
ability, so help you God ?"
"Good as wheut J" exclaimed the father of
the bride. — Stanford Advocate.
CUNNING DEVICES OF YE BOUNTYI
JUMPER.
A notorious bounty jumper named W. F.l
Southgate. with a whole directory full of alias!
sea, was arrested the other day in Allegheny,!
and lodged for safe keeping in the Girard
House, until he could be sent to Columbus,
0„ for trial. On Friday morning, just as he
was leaving the guard room for the railroad;
depot, the guard discovered that he had made
ample arrangements to effect his escape. By
some means he had secured a bottle of vitriol.:
some of which he had applied to the hobbles
around his ankles ; also the chain connecting
his handcuffs, thus weakening them so as to,
render it quite easy for hiin to break them.|
He was also supplied with a small steel saw.f
which was discovered in the lining of his cap, jj
and which was intended to saw the irons off|
after having effected his escape. In addition j
to this, he had a bottle of chloroform and aS
flask of drugged liquor, intending to stupifyj
the guard, and thus enable him to carry out|
his plans without fear of being int.errupted.fi
But the "best laidplanso' men and mice gang*
aft aglee," and the discovery of his prepara 3
tions, blasted all Southgate's hopes. He was j
promptly secured in new irons, and on Satur -j
day was started for Columbus. — Pittsburgh v

a pint as quick as any other man. "Y'ou can
bring a quart to a pint a good deal quicker."

POETICAL. —Mr. Hunt in his lecture on com
mon law, remarked, "that a lady when she
married lost her personal identity—her dis
tinctive character; and was like a dewdrop
swallowed up by a sunbeam."
MISERABLE PEOPLE. —Young ladies with new
bonnets rainy Sundays, and dresses playing
dip, dip at every step. A witness in a bribe
ry case. A smoking nephew on a visit to an
anti-smoking aunt. A young doctor, who!
has just cured his first patient and has no pros-B
pect of another. A star actress with her name!
in small type on a bill.
A CONTRABAND, undertaking to find asitua-B
tion for her daughter in Cincinnati, insisted!
upon said daughter's being instructed. Upoul
being requested to indicate what kind of ac
lomplishmcnts she was desirous of having
opeful daughter possess, she said, "De gal
iust be learned de piano and painting, any
ow, and mebbe arter while readin' and
itin'."
A GERMANTOWX tavern-keeper, who was
liking boastingly abouthis customers, said ot
ne of them :—"He is the most regular man
i Germantown ; he comes hero and gets
runk every Saturday, and has done so for
;n years, except when his mother died, and
hen he caine on Sunday. It is a grand thing
a be punctual."
IT is related of Jonah, that when he took
p his quarters in the whale's belly, he wrote
ignonie to his father to come down immediately
||as he had discovered a splendid opening for
'Jthe oil business. The next day he tclegraph-
to the old gentleman as follows: "Father.
Sldon't come. I'm badly sucked in. Plenty of
Soil, but no market!" This is the first of-fish
tfal account historians give us of the oil bnsi
Hness.
jf IRISH PROVERBS. —Men of straw don't make
?the best bricks. It's a narrow bed that has
ijno turning. When money is sent flying out
(fof the window, it's poverty that comes in at
Ytlie door. The pig that pleases to live must
f live to please. One may steal a hedge,
another daren't even as much as look
, ft t a horse. Short rents make long friends ;
and it holds good equally with your landlord
\nd your clothes. Money makes the gentle
man. and the want of it the blackguard.— 9j

SWEARING FOR THE FAMILY.— A returned
Chinese missionary relates the following an
ecdote, showing the caution of the Chinese.
He says :
During one of our examinations for candi
dates for baptism at Ngukang, I observed
that one woman and some three or four young
people had the same surname. This circum
stance led to the following conversation be
tween myself and one of the young men :
"I observe you air have the same surname.
Are you members of the same family ?" I in
quired.
"Yes, ' one replied ; "this is mother, and
these are my brothers."
"Where is your father?" i inquired.
"He is at home attending to his business."
"Does he approve of your embracing Chris
tianity ?''
"Yes ; he is entirely willing."
"Why does not your father himself become
a Christian ?"
"He says it would not do for all the family
to embrace Christianity."
"And why," I asked with some curiosity,
"does he think so ?"
"He says that if we all become Christians
our heathen neighbors will take advantage of
that circumstance to impose upon us."
"How will they do that ?" I inquired.
"Christians are not allowed to swear or
fight, ttnd father says that when our wicked
neighbors ascertain that we have embraced
Christianity, they will proceed at once to
curse us and maltreat us. Hence, father says
to us, "You may all become Christians, but!
I mnst remain a heathen, so as to retaliate on
our bad neighbors. You can go to meeting
and worship, but I must stay at home to do
the cursing and fighting for the family."
It is supposed that the answer and excuse
were satisfactory.
"A BIG THINS O\ ICE." —One evening in
the second dog-watch, we heard Fin Butter
'ield, an old Greenland "blubber-hunter,"
spinning one of his hawser-laid yarns, and
we listened just long enough to hear of the
best "time" ever made on any course in the
world.
"Ye see, shipmates, 'bout fifty miles due
west from Uppernavik, down there in the
Greenland sea, we struck a big bull-whale ;
and die old lubber, instead of takin' dead to
win'ard. as a struck whale orter, he went
straight to leeward toward a big floe fifteen
mi]es across, and smooth as a big lookin'-
glafs.
"Ole bull took us in end forty-three mile
avi hour, and went slap under the floe, takin'
the boat under after him."
"And all hands in her, Fin ?"
"Thunder! no. D'ye s'pose we were goin
to be drowned to please that old whale ?
When the boat went under we all jumped or
the ice, cut right across it W. N. W., got tc
the other side first, and when the boat poppec
"nt nil KonSn JnnrpaH hauled UD t(
the old lubber, and turned him up with oui
lances!"
COXCXDRCMS. —Why may carpenters reas
onably believe there is no such thing as stone':
Because they never save it.
Why is an unserviceable gun like an office
holder? Because it kicks mightily when dis
charged.
Why is a married man like a candle ? Be
cause he goes out at night when he ought not
to.
Why should the highest apple on a tree be
a good one ? Because its a tip-top apple.
What clothing should lawyers wear ? Chan
cery suits.
THE Dnke of Roquelanre was anything but
beantiful. Meeting one day a very ugly coun
try squire who had business at the court, the
duke introduced him to the king, saying that
he lay under the weightiest obligations to the
gentleman. The king graciously accotded to
the squire the desired favor, and then asked
Roquelaure what was the nature of his obli
gations to the other. "Ah, sire, without this
dog, I should be the ugliest man in yout ma
jesty's dominions," was the answer.
