How to, Give " Parole."
A correspondent of Missouri Democrat re
lates the following good-one :
Some weeks ago Col. Lawson, now of the Mis
souri State Guard, was taken prisoner by a
Company of some hundred labels of southeast
Missouri. They first thought that they, would
kill the Colonel, as he had been rathera prom
- Went Union man, but finally concluded to re
lease him ou "parole"—that most fashionable
;way, of disposing of " belligerents': now-it-days.
But they had. no bbuilt-parolets, and of coupe
csks,barl,tolxi wrzttem. But, on, examinatiOn,
not a man of tke whole, company could_ .wrikt !
Hera Watt a "OW for the scions of Southern
civilization• and chivalry. A happy thought
struck them, however, and they agreed that
the'Colonekshould write, his own parole,, which
he did, and swore himself to support the Consti
tution of the United States, and not to take up
arum sgainst the A:Won, The parole thus writ
ten, "subscribed; and sworn to, the Colonel
was turned loose, the sole possessor of the bril
liant practical joke he had perpetrated upon his
intelligent (1) captors.
"Julius," .an. intelligent "contraband," on
hearing
.the above story told, exclaimed:—
"What am de Government guine to turn dies
literate rebel white With loose 'mong•us ? Dat
am de question for , the Colonization Society. In
dename of de colored-,population, I protest
skrainst dem igrorencellein. set free . 9e,p deyibe

has eiVidinitly presented the : knotty .
partof "'tother side" now before the country,
and I commend his argument to the considera
tion of the powers that be.: FACT,
Rant, ZatTIPP/Z.—lf you want to mike an
angel, select a good woman for the, material ;
and if you want to make a real deifil, just:Pick
out a bad one, especially if a secessionist. 'We
notice that the other day a fine cake was sent
to Kra. Greenhow, a rebel lady confined in
Washington. Lieut. Sheldon stuck a penknife
into it in several places, and striking .a hard'
substattoe ' opened it, and , found Treasury notes,
fivetand tens, to a.coiniiderable amount; also

made to effect her escape and conveyance to

deliverance. When: the. lady. found out the
discovery, obtained from her, cake, her auger
was, uncontrollable. The Lieutenant bought
her a Bice new cake and sent it to her, but she
'slims* down stairs. ,
A Baltimore widow, Mrs. Batley, was brought
in to share the prison'of Mrs. Greenhow and
Mrs._ Toole. She was three days from Bich

• Firtara.—Blackwood says ; "There is perhaps
nio Ainorican newspaper. idiom more offensive
to English taste, than the constant use .of this
word *female' to _denote a woman. The late
lamented Sir Morgan O'Dougherty laid , it down
as one of his maxims, that it never.was used in
this sense 'by, any man above the rank of a
chimney sweep.' Mr. Bartlett notes the con
stant recurrence of the term in the popular press
with xery just reprobation ; it sounthi unpleas
antly, as he observes, se•if referring to an ani
mal. It is satisfactory to learn.that the House
of Delegates in.lriarylarid,in the year 1889, in
the discussion:of . a 'bill to'- protect. the reputa
tion of unmarried females,'. (though one is sorry
to hear that such a bill was _necessary,).struck
out the offensive word and inserted women.' '
A Fames' 's Top publishes
the following extriordimtry
" Much I#': Wen 'said for the lis t two
days of a drania . of - which an aristocratic-reli
gious boarding-school in the Fabourg St. Ger-
Main was - the theatre. Two young ladies were
playing diming • the hours of recreation, when
one struck the other in the face and knocked
-out one of her eyes.. 11,er . family, were imme
diately apprised tif the enichient. " " The' flitixer
wile to the school, and, after seeing his daugh=
ter, he. asked to see the young lady.who had
struck her. She came, when lie drew a pistol
from under 'his cloak 'and - fired into her face.
The unfortunate girl is so dreadfully wounded,
tkiat if she recovers, she' will be disfigured for
life."
GlaikNING nr FRANon.--An.affecting and beau
tiful law of kindness to;the poor has just been
decided by the Court of. highest jurisdiction in
Fiance. It is' this. In the entire.country no
farmer has a right to delve; his sheep or cattle
into any field)) that he..has:reaped—or vineyard
that he has cleafiedi-.until`nt.least two days
after the crops have been taken off; and dining
VAS time the ppor are to lbe allbwed to go in
and gather up:the leavings. ' In order, too t tbat
they may have a lull chande of obtaining good
in this way, he is never. allowed to let out the
privilege of gleaning:lit:in bis fields for pay
ment, but is to - leave:them open for•all.
MASON AND lationt.-=-The 13Cialon Traveler, of
Monday, states - that there was no communica
tion with Fort Warren' on. Saturday, in conie
quence of the 'gale, 'and the prisoners taketi
from the Trent were ignorant of the decision
Of the National Governnient in favor of their
release. On Sundiy• newspapers were carried
down, containing the official correspondence ;
and Mr. Mason was noticed at the window of
