Well, give them their charge, neighbor Dogberry." Dogb.

"Come hither, captain of the watch. God bad blessed you with a good name; to be a well-favored man is the gift of fortune, but write and read comes by nature." Captain "Both which, Master Constable are thought here to be the mod senseless and fit man lor the officer of the watch therefore heir you the lantern. This is jour charge: You shall comprehend all vagrom men; you are to bid any man stand in the prince's name." Captain "How if be will not Dogb. Why, then, take no uoteof him, but let him go, and presen.ly call the rest of the watch together, and thank God you are rid of a knave." Captain "If he will not stand wbeu he is bidden he is none of the prince's subjects. Dogb." No.

You shall alse make no noise in the streets, for, for the watch to babble and talk is most tolerable and not to be endnred." Captain" We will rather sleep than talk; we know what belongs to a watch." Dogb." Why, you speak like an an cient and quiet watchm'iu, for I cannot see how sleeping should offend; only have care that your bills are not stolen. Well, you are to call at all the alt houses and bid those that are drunk get them to bed." Captain" How if they will not?" Dogb." Why, then, let them alone tul they are sober, and if they make not better answer, you may say they are not the men you took them for." Captain "Well, sir." Tl II T- ii jou meet a mie', you may suspect him by virtue of your oflije to be no true man, and, for such kind of men, the less you meddle or make with them, why, the more is for your honest." Captain--' If we know him to be a thief, shall we not lay hands on him Dogb. by your office you may, but I think they that touch pitch will be defiled; the tnoit psaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is to let him show himself what he is, and steal out of your company." Captain" If we har a child cry in the night, shall we call the uurse who is asleep Dogb. No, but depart in peace, ard let the child wake her with crying, for the ewe that will not bear her limb when it baes, will never answer a calf when he bleats. Well, maiters, good night."

Incidents of tbe Lte l'renldenllal Vlsli. Tribune, 22d. DOINO THE TOWN. During the afternoon the party in open carriages visited East Tennessee University, Fort Saunders, the National Cemetery and other places of interest in and about the city. A most pleasant variation of tbe afternoon's entertainments was the call at Major O'Conner's where an hour was sp3nt in the enjoyment of the princely hospitality of the major and his excellent lady.

Not only the beauty and general attractions of the grounds elicited universal admiration, but the elegance and profuseness with whinh refreshments were served were specially enjayed. Returning to the city the party took tea at Mr Dickinson's, whose premises were brilliantly illuminated and rendered unusually attrsetive for the occasion. Crowding close upon this entertainment came the crand re ception at Colonel McGhee's, which was par excellence the event of the whole day's programme. To compare it with any entertainment of the kind ev.r before witnessed in Kaoxville would but seem an intentional depreciation of other really brilliant ones. In the extent and variety of its appointments, the elaborateness o.f preparation, the goud taste of its orrangements, and the number who participated in its enjoyment, it excelled, by far, any social aemonsirauon oi tue Kind ever witnessed in this city.

About a thousand invitations had been issued, and it was evident, from the numbers that filled the mansion.ond thronged the grounds from 8 to 12 o'clock, that but few expected guests had remained at home. Lpon approaching the grounds they appeared like enchanted eardens, peopled with reveling fairies. The gateways were arched with iets of flime. The buildings and grounds were splon- uiaij uiumicaiea ana aecrateu, and upon the spacious plateau, specially preparea lor tne purpose, youth and beauty were gliding through the mazes of the dance, while ever and anon. tbo glare of the rocket or the glow of tinted flame lent freh splendor to the auzziints scene, it is needless to add that the in-door arrangements, and espe cially tne supplies ot the reception room were in keeping with the outer splendor, and that tho parties who did the honors and courtesies ol tbe parlars acquitted themselves in a manner becoming the brilliant oacasion.

The visit tf President Kayos is the second in our history as a city that Knoxville has been hotiored by tbe pres ence ot the nation chief magistrate, the first being that of Andrew Jackson, who made occasional visitations. The last visit of tbe Hero of the Hermitage was in 1836. when he was using his influence hi behalf of Martin Van Buren, but as this threw htm in antagonism with uage uuzu L. bite, bis reception then was not so warm as on former occasions. His levees were generally held at the Lamar House, which then, as now.

enjoyed an enviable reputation, the proprietor at that time being Joseph Jactson. Tbe Late Senator Bogj'a Prophetic lueuer. Cincinnati Gaiette. As illustration of Senator Bogy's fixedness of views upon any subject, his course in running for tbe senate is rr markable. Wben he left home to study low in the year 1832, he placed ia the hands of his mother tbe following singu lar document: Ste.

Genevieve. January 16. 18.12 On this diy I left home, under charge of Mr. Wm Shannon, an old friend of mv father, to go to Kaskaskia, to read law in the office of Judgo Pape. My education is very limited, but, with hard study, I may overeome it.

I am determined to try it, and my intention is to return to my nativo State to practice law, it I con quaiuy myself, and, while doing so, to work to become United States senator for my native State, aud to work for this until 1 am sixty years old. I will pray God to give mo the rcsolutiou to persevere in this intention. I have commu nicated this to my mother and given her this paper to keep. So help me God. Lewis V.

Booy. Oddly enough, it was in his sixtieth year that bo was elected to the senate. PrevioustoVcat he bad held various positions from tho Democratic party, but could scarcely be deemed to rank among the great men of the State, btill, in the race agaiust Frank Blair, immeasurably his supi nor ability and prominence, he was from the first confident of success, and took his eleotion to the senate by the remarkable Missouri legislature of 1873 as a mutter ol course. His belief in the destiny of the thing was remark' able. Kuoxville Trihuno, 22: The friends of Mrs.
