“ You niustmaintain as you dp at present,'

devised,,and that a democracy is utterly barba
rous.. My. countrymen are proverbially fond of
argument,.and, .will meet you on both these
questions. anddf you choose, will argue with
you to the endof j our life. 1 '
The murmur waa Venewed, .but still without
any decided expression j of, the feeling with
which bis answer bad been received. .
The third then rose from his seat, and with
an assured voice which seemed' to announce a
certain triumph, said:.
“ I require your decision on a delicate ques
tion, but the. rules of the pastime' warrant it,
and also a candid answer. You have seen the
American ami .English ladies ( which are the
fairest ' ! i . , ... .
. The young, republican glanced around the
circle, ■ it .was brilliant with flashing ,eyes,
and the sweet smiles that wreathed , many a
lovely Up might have won a less .determined
patriot from his allegiance. He did not hesi
tate, though be bowed low to the ladies as ha
answered: ;
“ The standard of female beauty is, I believe,
allowed to be the power ‘of eXcitng admiration
and begetting lore in our sex, and consequently
those ladies who are most admired, and beloved
and respected by the gentlemen, must be the
fairest. Now I assert confidently, that there is
not a nation on earth where wonntn is so truly
so tenderly cherished, so remarkably
treated, as in the Republic of the United States,
therefore'the American ladies are tha fairest.
But,’! he again bowed low, ‘‘if the ladies be
fore whom, I now have the honor of expressing
my opinion, were in my country, we should
think them Americans.”
The Philadelphia Press of a kite date, had
an editorial notice of .Dri Dyott,:the well known
dealer in patent medicines in that , city, who
recent); died at an advaouadaga. The article
gave the fullowing strange facte connected with
bis remarkable career:
“ When he to cqmethis country he had hot a
few shillings.' Observing that very little atten
tion was paid to boot blacking in Philadelphia.
—few boats being polished, and no blacking
made—he'rented a cellar and a email room
above it, in Second or Third street, above
Chestnut, and commenced to tnanufnrlare black
ingi It took the greater part of his money to
buy the materials, simple and cheap as they
were, of which his blacking was made. He
made the blacking at night, with his own hands,
1 and sold it by day in his little shop above,
, Brushing the buyer's boots to ehow them how
to use it.' He soon found sate for till he could
make, and wanting suitable bottles to put it
in, (for it was liquid.) he walked up to the
glass works, then itr Kensington, to have them
made, and not knowing the distance, or exactly
bow to get there, he preferred walking to get
ting a horse, for fear the turnpike toll would
take top much ul his money ; for at that timo
h- kuppCsed it Was as to ride near
Philadelphia, as it was near London. By this
pursuit he made money rapidly, and soon ob
tained enough to establish a' drug store, of
Which business he had obtained some knowl
edge as'a druggist’s- apprentice in England,
Where he learned the art of manufacturing boot
blocking.
*• Ho toon rose, by the system of. newspaper
puffing, to be the,largest manufacturer of patent
medicines and drugs in the' United;'States, and
did an immense business. At one-time —about,
the year 1819-20—he kept the dost elegant I
riding establishment in this-city Nor county,!
driving four horses to his elegant English coach, j
with three or four outriders in livery. A. few j
vears after this he became embarrassed, broke ;
up his costly style of living, and worked i
through his difficulties by making his creditors j
take drugs and medicines. After this he en-1
larged bis business, bought j the pUaB-Works
where his blacking bottles were made, and wa-, !
no doubt!, at this time a rich man. But his bu
siness km carried' oh in a Wild manner, And
had gone heymid his knowledge or control,
when, in! 1835 Ar 1836, he added to.it that.of
banking lie never had an act of incorpora
tion. He had purely a private bank of issue;
He published a statement that be had deeded a
large amount nf real estate, for the redemption
of his notes, to some (If the prominent Aitiiens
of Philadelphia. In the general-derangement
of-the business of the country in 1837, the
Doctor and his bank broke down, and his,deed
■of trust for his bank found to be worthless.—
He was then indicted for fraud, and. sentenced
to the penitentiary. Others were .-dm tried for
conspiracy with him, but 'acquitted.

.' In 1814 there lived M-faxtwerp a banker;who.
had a pagspinfor speculation, butwhu iprajia
bly was unsuccessful. This ill luck, became
proverbial; hie affairs fell into confusion, and
alt Antwerp looked to see him become bank
rupt and retire ‘from- the precincts of the ex
change, when, suddenly, his luck,
be gained in. every operation he undertook as
invariably as be bad formerly lost, No mptter
how suddenly or How violently the.funds went
up or dpwriiih Paris, L mdon, Vienna, nr else
where,' t Be: Antwerp ba’riker was always the
■gaiiieis’by every the money, market,
‘no matter how , dripricious. In-the coarse, of
two years ;b9, realized a, large fortune, quilted
Antwerp with his wife and family, and estab
lished himself for the-rest of his life in a charm
ing country seat, where’he abandoned himself
to the delights of rural existenoeand cultivation
of flowers, which latter branch of horticulture
he pursued with an abiding enthusiasm worthy
of a Dutchman.
The electric telegraph was Unknown at the
period iri question, and the clumsy sign ala by
wbiohi statesmen contrived to communicate with
qne aouther were only.worked by the heeds of
the state, and. fur their own behoof; and. Ant
werp, puzzled its brains for some time in vain
efforts to i’iscertain by what mysterious art the’
ex banterltad managed to’ t’uhn the tide, and
to win over. to his interests the favors of the
: blind gofldees who had hilhertv been so deci
dedly against him. In these speculations upon
the changed fate of the speculator, Antwerp
simply lust its trouble; nor was it until several
years afterword that, the seeming mystery was.
explained.
lit had been noticed in Antwerp as a singular
fact that two drivers of stage-coaches belong
ing to that city ,bad made, during the lucky pe
riod of the banker’s career, fortunes, which in
proportion with their means, were as considera
ble as that amassed by the speculator, Butnn
one thought of attributing the improved posi
tion of the two .coauhmen to the operations,of
the fortunate speculator. Vet all three owed
thei’f good luck ,to the same simple expedient;
!if any of the towns-people had bethought
them of watching the doings of the banker,
they would have seen that every,evening about
nine o’clock the latter betook faiotself to a lone
ly cottage of his, standing in the midst of a
garden, a few miles from the town. ’ There, in
silence' and secresy, the banker received- the
visit of one or the other of the two coschthen,
to whom, after the exchange of a few words, he
handed a basket .carefully covered over with a
piece of tarpaulin, and at which was at once
deposited by the coachman at the bottom <if a
great hamper of poultry; collected by him at
the neighboring farms,’and to be-sold by him
at the towns through which be drove bis coach.
As soon as the coachman had taken his leave,
the banker locked the cottage door and went
up-stairs to a room fitted up.as a pigeon house,
of whose existence no one else was aware, .in
which a number of pigeons soon began to
make the.ir appearance with hanging wings,
impatient to drop into their nests. The li inKer
having rr -iced and petted the weary'birds anil
gave them some corn,'gently lifted their wings
and detached the little billet conveyed to him'
by each linminsoious These birds
brought to the speculator news or the exchange
on all the pr ncipal markets of Europe.* Sent
uifd'ily from Dmdon, Paris, Vienna, Brussels,
&c.. about four in the afternoon, the home-lov
ing little Mercuries never failed to reach tbajr
rie-ts about midnight. After receiving the in

THE TENNESSEE HEHMIT,
Daniel Went, the Well-known Hermit of Ten
nessee, died. September 23, at the age of 78.
lie had tired fur rears in the hollow of an
American poplar, in the opening of which he
had fitted a rude dbop. In the contra of this
hollow he would Build his fire in winter
for cooking his plain |meal*. . This hollow serv
ed as hie sleeping apartment, and it is said that
he slept in a sitting posture, reclining against
the wall at, his housp. Adjoining or hear to
this rude tree be had it rude shed which be used
as a workshop, wherfe he manufactured chairs,
boxes, older mills, to. A short time since a
lady visited the old jllermit in company with
her husband.and some gentleman friends, and
from her account the! following is taken:
“ Beipig of the sfez to which all hermits are
said to be particularly inimical, I made up roy
mind tm suffer some such inhospitality as that
which St. Kevin is jreported to have inflicted
upon poor Kathleen. But my_ eyes of blue
teemed to exert a contrary-effect upon the re
cluse, so that insteadjof becoming exasperated
upon my 'introduction, he gave me a cordial
shake of the hand, obd hustled about for one
of his new chairs, all the politeness if not
grace of a Chesterfield. On the whole. Sir
Charles Grandson himself could not have done
the agreeable with more credit to himself, or
more satisfaction to me. Instead of having my.
head, snapped off in a twinkling by au ogre, I
found the hermit a simple, genial, conversable
old man. Poorly clad, and, if I must say it,
not scrupulously clean, yet there was a dignity
about him Which i bannot express'otherwise |
than hy ! saying that it seemed to me the digni
ty it truth, for the old man appeared, somehow,
as though be npver even dreamed of falsehood
or redemption, though I doubt nut that in bis
life he suffered from both.
’ “ Finding that my watch had stopped, I en- J
quiird tihe hour. Immediately one of the-geh
tlemen turned and proposed the same question !
to 1 Uncle Daniel.’ He brought forth from hie
c ipaciods pocket a piece of sheet lead in the
form of ja quadrant marked with degrees, and
with a line and pluniot attached; setting this
in a peculiar position! in regard to the sun, he
told us the hour, -correctly, too, in a mo
ment. |H* e queer little chronometer was of his
own construction.' I jhad, by this time climbed
into the|enclosure to observe his manner of ta
king tinie, and then hje showed me his cooking
apparatus, bis cider presses, &c. I purchased
one.of his unique chairs for my little boy, and
stepping up cautiously took a sly peep into the
kr.ee; Cjli 1 jt looked like a Jen. Well, if Dio
genes lijed In a tub, ‘Uncle Daniel’ has evinced
mupK better taste, in choosing the * green wood
tree'.’ Yon would be astonished by tilts man ;
he is sojsimple, yet so shrewd; so child like,
yet so critical ; crazed, one would think, and
yet exhibiting more good sense than ope in -
thousands of those who! make more pretensions.
His manner is quiet, his conversation Candid,
his l.mgb.Vge good.and at times even- choice,-
and hi« voice singularly soft And winning. In
