A Paris correspondent of the Boston Travel- ler writes as follows : The date of this letter is enough to let you know that Paris is abandoned by the few thou- sand people called ‘-everybody."’ All the best writers of the press have flown with them. The charming M. Eugene Guinot sends us weekly letters from one or another of the charming villages in the vicinity of Paris. In a letter from the Forest of Bondy he tells the followin; singular story, in exhibition of the wonderfu! powers of Garrick : The celebrated English actor, Garrick, made a tmp to Paris in 1757, when he was st the height of his talents and fame. He did not, as many of our artists do now, make the excur- sion for the purpose of speculation ; he did not come to Paris to perform and make money. He traveled for amusement, a mere tourist, anrious to visit a beautiful country which he might partly claim for his own. Tho family of the English actor was of French origin; they fied the country upon the revocation of the edict of Nantes. In the mailcoach which bore him from London to Dover, tiarrick found fora fellow traveler Sir George Lewis, a gentleman he had met several times before in company, and had known for a constant frequenter at Drury Lane Theatre. They took advantage of this casual encounter to improve their aequain- tance ; each was delighted with the other. Af- ter crossing the channel together, they came to Paris in the same vehicle, and when here they separated. Tho actor went to the house of the friends who were expecting him, and Sir George Lewis took up his lodgings in one of those splendid farnished houses of the Quartier de la Chaussee d’Antin, which then began to be a very fashionable quarter of the town. The two traveling companions had promised to se x great deal of each other during their stay in Paris, but the very different life each of them led rendered it impossible for them to execute their resolutions. Sir George Lewis was a man between forty-five and fifty years old. with a@ very singular face, whose irregular and prom- inent features made his physivgnomy most eo- centric aud expressive Daring the whole journey Garrick had ad- mired that countenance, thinking what an ef- fect it would produce on the stage. Despite his age—which should have cooled the ardor of his character, and have engaged him to abandon the follies of youth—Sir George Lewis lived in the midst of dissipation and pleasure. He had come to Paris to amuse himself by gaily spend- ing a — legacy, unexpectedly bequeathed to him. He was passionately fond of gaming, and the satisfaction of this passion led him into # very mixed company. as indeed are all com- panies where gambling is indulged, since these men are valued by the sum of moncy they are able or willing to stake on the cards—a test which allows many sharpers to slipin. The actor lived in a very different sort of society, and during the four months of their stay in Paris the two traveling companions scarcely met above two or three times. Just as he was about leaving for London, Garrick called upc Sir George Lewis, to bid him good bye and in- quire if he had any commands for London. To his horror he was informed that the unhappy gentleman had been assassinated the previous evening. His body had been found that very morning in the Forest of Bondy, covered with wounds, and lying bathed in blood. Deeply touched, Garrick exerted himself to ascertain as much as possible of the details of this deplorable event. He found that Sir George Lewis had been one of a party of pleasure to visit a chateau in the environs of Bondy, where a large compen of sportsmen and gamblers were assembled. He intended to remain there some days. The first evening of his vi#it he won a large sum of money at the gaming table In the afternoon of the second day he received @ note from Paris, engaging him to a gallant zendezvous, and immedistely on receipt of it, he bade adieu to the company. They tried to retain him, less out of politeness, perhaps, than the desire of winning back the money he had taken from them, and this desire was so yehe- ment as to carry them to the resolution of dis- mounting his carriage. But Sir George Lewis was a man of will, and he determined to return to Paris on horseback. He leaped on bis horse and galloped away. Further than this Garrick eould learn nothing. The police were inclined to believe the catastrophe one of the usual ad- ventures then frequent in the furest of Bondy ; but Garrick pointed out to them that Si orge is’s pistols were found loaded and in his ers, and that while his purse had been taken from him, gold watch, gold suuff box, and diamond ring were found untouched, from which he concluded, firatly, that Sir George Lewis had not been attacked by banditti, but by some sequaintance, who perfidiously took bim off his guard; aud secondly, that the per- sonal property lay untouched merely because the robber was afraid of compromising himseif. Therefore the assassin was an acquaintance of Ric George Lewis. aud moved in the social cir- ele to which the knight belonged. ‘Lhe society assembled at the chatean was then secretly seanued by Garrick and the police, and sas- picion alighted upenan Italian called the C alier Gaetan. This Italian was proved to qaitted the chateau shorily after Sir George ewis, and despite his explanations. he was ar- rested ; but no direct evidence could be brought agsinst him, and the noble proprietor of the ehateau, who was naturally very anxious that no such cloud asacrime should rest upon his ** frieuds, " used every exertion to procure the liberation of the Italian At the moment Garrick intervened. He |} begged the police to allow him to make an ex- periment which he declared was decisive. (ar. riek, as every body knows, was famous for hit play of his feature; he oculd assame whatever countenance he pleased. Sir George Lewis had his portrait taken by Eatour, and Garrick went to Latours studio to study the portrait and “makes up” himself. The police fetched the Italian from the jail and carried him, well es- corted, to Sir Lewis's rooms. Uneasy and per- plexed at this move (for he had been a visiter at Sir George Lewis's house,) he questioned the police agents what they were going to do with him. No reply was made to his inquirics until they reached the eased’s house, when the chief of the police sa * Sir George Lewis isnotdead. ife accuset you of attempting to assassinate him.

He was carried into the room where (iarrack stood; the great actor represented Sir George Lewis to the life; he had his face, features, expres- sion, gesture and it was in the very tohe of the deceased knight Garrick exclaimed: ‘- You wreteb' you assassin! Do you dare deny your crime before me’? The Italian was thunder struck, and falling upon his knees, confessed his crime and prayed tor mercy. He was hung. ee Natioxan Prope ction s.—N ations are char- acterized not more by their people than by their other and inferior productions.

We werebornona farm. We were afarmors’ son. The best lessons of our life were received ona farm. We love the farm and all that per- ‘tains to it. We regard it as not second to any worldly pursuit, not second in dignity, in im- portance and usefulness. Hence we feel that we have a mght to speak for farmer's sons. We sayin the outset that all people should be educated. especially in a counyy like ours, where the people make the pee , the laws, the custums, the states of society, anddo every- thing that pertains to political government and social order; most especially should farmers’ sons be educated. The times demandsit; the country demands it. There are governmental abuses to reformed, there are questions of principle and political economy to settle. There are produ- cing interests to be represented in the legisla- tive halls. There are real estate laws, boundary laws. that affect almost wholly the farmer and his family. Then there are the great commer- cial interests of the country and everything that relates to Pe aiepco in travel and trade. all of which vitally concern the farmer. There are tax laws, the school laws, the laws directing the peace and order of society ; there is the conduct of the general, the State and county government. Ifow shall these things bo rightly attended to so as not to jeopardize the farmer’s interests ? Professional politicians are dangerous. Wo do not need a horde of hungry Politicians to gather around overy office like eagles nround a carcass. We want the people educated in all the great duties of life,—educated to be wise, juiicious, calm, high-minded—edueated to love the country and honor it with virtuous and dig nified lives—educated to believe as the first ar- ticle of theirereed, “that riglhtcousness exalteth a nation."’ A people educated will have a knowledge of politics equal to any emergency. Our fathers were not professional politicians, and they framed a government wiser than the world eversnw. They knew what they needed. if the people are wisely educated they will know enough of politics, We want to raise our presidents, governors, legislators, judges, anil fore'go ministers on our farms. e want to qualify farmers’ sons for these posts of duty. Wo wantatleast to have the farmers completely represented in every legislature in the country. We want the whole governing power made up from the whole producting classes. They are the soul and body ot the country, and farmers come in for alarge share of representation. We want speakers, writers, editors, thinkers. actors, polished, high-souled, gentlemanly men from the heartof the farmers family. Shall we have them? Say, farmers. We cannot do well with- out them. If every man was educated enough to act a respectable part in Congress, we should have the whole people to choose from, and could send our best men there. As itis, there is only here and there one educationally qualified to go, or serve his country in any way. Let us have farmers’ sons educated and we can usher in a new order of things in the management of our government. But it is not for political objects only that we would have farmers’ sons educated. It is for their own good, that they may conduct their business with the strength and wisdom of educa- ted minds. rear their families intelligently, and surround them with tho comforts, opportunities, and excellencies of educated and refined socic- ty. Everything in our day calls for the educa- tion of farmers’ so Agriculture is becoming a science. In all ite departments it is being reduced to scientific principles. It is become a necessity that the farmer should be a scientific man, and poasess a cultivated, well-informed mind. As a man it makes him nobler and stronger; asa citizen, worthier of trust; and as : aoe more productive and trebly success- ul. There is no place were intelligence pays a larger per centage than in agricultural pur- suits. The country and the world, as well as thoir own interest demands of farmers the education of their eons in the principles of sound learning, sound morality and sound life. Let those who are soon to come upon the stage of active life he well qualified to discharge any duty that may devolve upon them.— Valley armer. THE PATENT UMBRELLA. Goop rox a Rainy Day.—Our friend Beard, of Cincinnati, the artist, has invented a plan to | Sop that most inconvenient and uopunishable | crime—umbrella theft; which we intend to make gublic. at the risk of violating the patent jaws. We wiil tell the story as he related it Thad just bought a fine silk umbrella, and started for the Burnett House on a rainy day. when I began to reflect upon my extravagance, and wo wonder, as I tripped along proudly under its broad and safe cover, whether or not it would go the way of all umbrellas, and leave ime to the * pitiless peltings of the storm’ before the duy was over. True, { could keep it én my hand; but then I was occasionally so absent- minded thatl would be just as apt to set it down in a public bar-room, or even to have it taken quietly out of my hand by some adroit chevalier dindustree. 1 felt eoncerned. Sud- denly an idea occurred. I stepped into a hard- Ware store and purchased a emall padlock. Yn arriving at the hotel I closed my umbré slipped the luck on to the wire spring whic keeps it shut, and deposited it with perfect con- fidence in the public rack. I was not loag wait- ing foracustomer. A splendid-looking fellow, with @ goatee and mustaghe, (you see his like- ness as Augustus Tomlinson when my picture of Paul Clifford is exhibited,) stopped up with the most perfeet nonchalance and took my identical umbrella. I quietly sauntered to- wards the door, giving a casual glance at the weather, my hero endeayoredsto spread tho sheltering silk; but alas! it was no go—again ! Sill worse. What the deuce was the matter’ He looked—saw the trap, and the fall in his countenance was exactly that step from the sublime to the ridiculous I had so often heard of but never seen before. My umbrella was quietly deposited in its place, and my gentleman meekly sauntered to- words the reading room, and :k'pped out of an- other door umbretlaless. I was by no means satisfied with one experi- inent. Ina little while I saw one of the must brazen popeentasons of small things (he was especially hurd on lunches and drinks—free) in all Cincinnati. ** Now,” eaid I, “ is my chance.” This customer had an article in his hand which might in courtesy be styled the *‘ ghost of an umbrella,” and cotton at that. With a grandiloquent air he deposited it right along- side of mine, and went to the bar. There he picked ap a treat (it was election time,) and eat crackers and cheese enormously. Thence to the reading-room, with my eye still on him, and in less than a minute, with a shrug, and buttoning up his coat an extra button, he passed in a rapid business manner to the door, picking up my umbrella, with scarcely bs vane as he went along. I was on hand. With a sudden movement he attempts to raise it; no go! Again! still a failure. With a decision perfectly Napoleonic, and worthy of the occa- sion, he was about to tear away the slight ob- struction, when I stepped up and said: “Don't do that! PM Lent you the key “Ah! Mr. Beard. Ha! ha! Strange mis- take—thought it was my own; “good device; devilish good ' Think I'll adopt it.” And with the most perfect ease he put my umbrella down, took bis own, and vamosed I was satisfied. I had found out how to keep an uinbrella, and now I am on iny way to Washington to get a patent for it. m 1" _A new cook every month is no unusual av- erage forseven families out of ten.
