Such is the status of schools iuJackson. It is not to be wondered at that females suit them so well.

A boy, if designed bo great, will become so, without tho stimulant of praise, such as Lincoln Grant have been, for instances. He also says, "that by a keen moral sense ot their responsibility, around school room such inviting smiles were thrown (such as she can throw,) the pupils with parted, innocent dancing hearts, fcc, came to school."

Another Plea for Clem. JiprroR Journal: If the Sehnnl marm question is not exhausted, allow vn -n7 tv ft my piece. Wim no little amusement I have followed the discussion up to the present, and fear ing Mr. Clem is getting the worst of it 1 venture to raise my leeble voice his behalf, and lest he is by this time occupying the stool of repentance let me assure him, that he never made a more decided hit, in his life; indeed may he well say with one of old, awoke and found myself and so rapidly has his fame spread that he is known away out here on the bleak prairies of North Missouri. Another sweet morsel I have.

too. for my friend Mr, Clem, and that is, that the simple folk of the State of Missou ri, who lately passed, a now Constitu tidn, making the intelligence of all who come qualification tor sunrage, are just silly enough on an average, to prefer women for teach ers; and declare also, (the simpletons) that they are more successful than men. Ana to prove to mm mat they are not so enlightened as the residents of his Portsmouth would justadd that several ot the most successful received certificates once in Gallipolis of that same candidate tor matrimony. JNow, Ulemmy, my dear friend, do not imaginejbr a moment, that I am a candidate to wash your dishes, patch your breeches, or perform tho other work you mentioned, though I will candidly acknowledge to being an Uld when I tell you that you have ray most profound sympathy in your trials and persecutions. 1 do really think it a pity that some poor fellow who has no convenient way of making a living but by "ieeuina school," and who, after having been driven to it perhaps by the unkinduess of some relative that might have en joyed the credit of at least one gentle man in the family, oiie who is con- titutionally disinclined to obey tho Bible injunction and "earn bread by the sweat of the face," and who can perceive no cranny.in either the profes sion of medicine or the law where ho might get in, and who knowing himself entirely destitute of that disinterested magnanimity necessary for a Minister of the Gospel, should be encroached upon by those intellectual poachers "bchoolmarms.

liut keep a brav heart, friend Clem, a few more such withering communications as that you sent to the Journal, and public opinion will sweep them from employment, and after awhile the children will forget to annoy you with tho accounts of "pic nics, decorations, and kisses, and will become the staid, uncxpectant, uncn thusiastic creatures Nature intended they should bo, till they were demoral lzed Dy that assuming class ot mdi viduals known as Schoolmarms, ou.0 little good advice you. a little also, my we go along.

The invitation was accepted, and the couple appeared at the ball. After dancing for some time "greeny" saw partner sitting in ono corner of the room all alone.

JNow was his chance, he walked up to where the lady was sitting and sat down beside her. All well so far; but the bashful fellow was a loss for something to say. He fidgeted about considerably, and was sweating profusely. Finally, taking hold of his wilted collar, he com menced the conversation thus: "It is powerful warm in this shirt's wet, ain't yours?"

-Aeeording to history of that time, Mr. Johnson "left Washington city, on his return in April, 1861, and on the 21st of that month he suffered personal peril at Lynchburg, being groaned and hissed by a large mob, who threatened to take him from the cars to hang him. Tho Memphis Avalanche, of April 25 exultantly described his having his nose pulled by infuriated men, backed by mobs, at Liberty. nnrt other places along his route from Washington to Tennessee." In all probability many of "tho furiated men" who assisted at th nose pulling in 1861, and would uave c.hcerlully taken part in tho threatened hanging, were leaders in the ovation of 1869.
