About two months after th*so rnffliftw had disappeared, th# whole eouacty wii startled by the nows that a largo CQ**pi»y ot Kentuckians had beon robbeJLh.y a iiand of robbers upoa the Nashville fmee. Short* ly after, three gentlomen, a fstber and hi# two sons, started fa> Kenttcky, and when tdiey had got pretty well into the wilder ness they, too, woro met and robbed of ev o erything they had. This excitaj the eomo munity to the highest pitch of-indignation. They besought Gov. Claibourne to bring the power ot tho Government to bear and arrest the robbers, 110 accordingly offered a large reward for them, dead or alive. Great was the merriment made by Ma son—that was the bandit’s name—and his men when they read the Governor’s proc-* lamation. They laughed at and ridiculed it. Iluw long he could have defied the au thorities no one knows, if there had not been treachery in the band. The old ad age that there is honor among thieves did not hold good in this case. One night they were sitting around their blaaing onsnp fires. Thev had just made a successful raid upon the settlements, and Mason was distributing the booty. Little Harp crept up behind him and buried a tomahawk in his dead. Mason fell dead and his guilty soul was ushered into the presence of his Maker. The conspirators then chopped off his head and brought it to Washington, the seat of Government, and claimed the re ward. When it was noised about that the great robber, Mason, was killed, and that liis head was in Washington for indentifi cation, all the people in the settlement far and near flocked to see it. there was no mistaking those ghastly grim features, with the terrible scar. The men who had done the deed were hailed at first as public ben> efactors, ter they had rid the world of a monster. Now, although the Governor had prom ised a large reward, yet unfortunately when he called for the money it was found that the treasury was empty (this seems to beat chronic complaint with my dear old State.) Os course the captors of Mason J were de layed in getting their pay. This led to the detection of the conspirators, and it so hap pened that the old gentleman and his two sons, who had been robbed, were among the number who came to. look at the rob» ber’s head. The moment they laid their eyes on Little llarp they exchanged glana ces. The father slipped out, and iu a lit tle while appeared with an officer. Rais ing his voice and pointing his finger at Lit« tie Harp, he said, “I charge you, sir, as be* ing one of Mason’s band of rebbers." Little Harp was seized, and his accomplice also. This was almost as startling to the crowd as was the sight of Mason’s head. At that time there was a little town in Jef ferson county, near the Ohabley’c fork of Cole Creek, named Greenville, in honor of Gen. Nathaniel Green. The original site was bought from the estate of Odom, was afterward added to form the estates of Abis jah Hunt and Ferdinand Claiborne, and following named men were its trustees : D. W. Baazeale, H. Downs, A. Ellis, R. Mcßay, and Robert Cox. This little town, which has since passed into the “things that were," was then the country seat; thither Little Harp was con° veyed, and was regularly tried and convics ted. lie was hung, and the band ot Ma son being deprived of its leader and its some skillful lieutenant, dispersed, and was nev er afterward heard ot. All of you have, no doubt, heard of Robt in Ilood, of Sherwood Forrest, but I doubt whether many of you ever heard hefor- of this Knight ot the "Cave in the Rock."— This bold, bad mao had once held high car nival in a hollow cave that lies in the bank of the Ohio river. The only approach to it was by boats.— In this cave Mason and his men, in that then sparsely settled region, could hold at bay any officers of the law that could be sent against them. As population increas ed around him, his situation became more precarious, and he fied with his band to the South. Here he hovers on the borders of the Indian nation, and would attack wherever booty was to be found. Power erful in frame, always on the alert, he swept from one of the Territories to the oth-> er with amazing rapidity. If his compans ions had not proved treacherous in all prob ability he could have bid a haughty defi ance to our Government for a long time, but by a law of Providence the wicked are often turned to destruction by the vipers they nourish. Tl>o story of “Little Harp" has already be6n written in a little book called “Hall’s Legends of the West." It seerm that there were two brothfcr.s of that name who we're the most daring that evturuifested -Kentucky. They Were called, bylway of distinction Big Harp and Little Iftrp, on account of tho difference in their size.— The people of Kentucky had become ex asperated at their outrages, and determined to hunt them to the death. The pursuit was carried on with the patience of the slot hound, until at last they were overtakin. Big Harp was pursued by a gigardyc Ken tuckia i; they had a running fight for hours on horseback, until at last Harp’s horse fell; then came a hand-to-hand fight. It wajia struggle between these two vYestern giants, but at last Jlarp fell mortally wounded. He died, his head was severed from his body, and was stuck on a pole in the cross-roads in Kentucky, and the spot was for a long time called the “Harp’s Head." While the bigger broths 6r was being thus hotly pursued, the little Harp escaped and came down and joined Mason’s band. A ROMAN DINNER. SOME OF TITK eO#TOM3 OF EATING AND DRINK INS IN THE OLDEN TIME.

Several calda-urns of bronze have been found at Pompeii. The principal meal (culled coma) vrovi pniaa about 1 o^oloat, and lasted several hours. People, like the elder Pliny, wlo dined only three hours, were considered remarkably frugal and time saving. In Pompeii there are numer ous paintings of feasts, which give consido erable information as the bill of fare. In the centre of the table, for example, is a large dish containing four peacocks, so ar ranged as to form a stately dome with their tails; here and there are lobsters, each holding something in their claws ; one has a blue egg, another an oyster, a third a stuffed rat, a fourth has a lit le basket of grasshoppers, or some similar appetizing delicacy. There are also four plates of fish, several phesants, hares and squrrels, each holding its head between its paws ; besides peaches, melons, and other fruits, a variety of vegetables, fantastic forms of pastry, and different kinds wine. In order to equip the table as magnificently as pos sible, many articles wore provided, not be» cause they were agreeable to the palate, but because they added to the splendor and costliness of the banquett. Dishe3, too, which would excite in us the most intense disgust were held in high esteem. A man is represented as drinking from a cow’s horn, pierced at the smaller end so as to allow a thin stream of wine to flow into the mouth as he holds it up at arm’s length—a method of imbibing still practiced by the common people of Southern Italy. Other cups were fashioned, by tho whimsical ffin cy of the potter, into the head of a pig, a ram, a stag, or some other animal; many of them are of cheap material (clay,) but all show by their excellent workmanship that they were made by good artists. One advantage of such a drinking vessel, in the eyes of a veteran tippler, would be, that owing to its peculiar shape, it could not stand upright, and when once filled, must he emptied hefbfe it could b® s®fc down again upon the table. Among the Greeks, it was not customary to invite women to diuncr parties, although the Sybarites did so, and according to Plutarch, used to send the invitations a year beforehand, in order to give the ladies ample time to dress for the occasion. But among the Romans wo® men were n'd only admitted to banquets, as is evident from several Pompeiian paint ings, but, if we may believe what content porary poets say of them, were also espec ially pruud of their drinking; and Shaks peare is true to Roman customs when he makes Cleopatra boast of such triumphs over Antony : “Ere the ninth hour I drank him to his bed ; Then put my tires and mantle on him Whilst I wore his sword Phillipan." THE SMARTEST GIRL IN MICHIGAN At Port Oneida, on lake Michigan, lives, it is said, “the smartest girl in Michigan.” She is a German, about seventeen years old, and the oldest of a family of an even dozen, living in a little double log cabin on the shore of the lake. She delights in out-door life and employment, espec ially boating and fishing, and for the last three years has been “master ’ of a handsome fishing craft and a set of gill nets. She puts them out early in April, and continues them till late in the Fall. She is out every morning at daylight, and again in tho evening, except in the roughest weather.— She takes a younger sister along to help set and draw nets. She often brings in a couple of hundred fine lake trout and whitetish at a haul.— She dresses thcra, dries oat the oil, packs and sends them away to mar> ket. Her August and September catch amounted to over S3OO. Be sides her fiishing receipts, she has taken in over $l7O this season for berries, picked at odd hours by her. self and sister. All money goes to father. Month after month he packs it away in old sacks and stockings under his bed; night after night he guards it with sabre and pistol. •In all, she is said to have earned him over $3,000. Os course the old man is proud of his girl, and tells of her exploits with the livliest twinkle of satisfactian. Danger and hard ships seem unknownjto her. She will go out in any blow, and come in with full sails, IJcr white must and blue pennon arc known by people far along the coast. Boats salute her in pass* ing; boys sw’ing their hats in proud recognition. Without knowing it, Laule Borfeine is a heroine. OBITUARY. ROBERT JAMES WALKER. Hon. Robert J. Walker died at liis residence, in Washington City, this 'inorningk the 11th instant, at twenty ‘mintftesDMbre eleven o’clock, after a protracted illness. His age was 68 years and 4 mouths. Robert James Walker was horn in Northumberland, Penn., in 1801.— He was graduated at the University of Pennsylvania in 1819, commenced #W*practice of law in Pittsburg in 1821, and became prominent there by putting the name of Gen. Jackson in nomination for the Presidency before it had been suggested in any other quarter. In 1826 he removed to *Natchez, Miss., where he soon ac quired a lucrative practice. He ac quired a lucrative practice. lie de feated the celebrated Hen. George Poindexter for the United Senate in 1835. A debate with Henry Clay, soon afte;r he took his seat, brought him into general notice. He was largely instrumental in bringing about the acquisition of Texas and Califor> nia. He was a strong and trusty ad** viser of John Tyler during that gen tleman’s administration, and brought about the nomination of Polk in op position to Van Buren, because the latter opposed the annexation of Tex as. Mr. Walker was Secretary of the Treasury under Mr. Polk. He then made a report in favor of free trade, which was reprinted by the Rrihsb pfourc*-' of Pmomnns. TTft tp— sumed the practice of law when Mr. Polk’s term expired. Ilis last office was Governor of Kansas, in 1857, to which lie was appointed during Pres ident Buchanan’s administration, and w T hic h office he resigned in conse quence of disagreement with the Pres ident. He was in favor of the late civil war. The Chicago Svenska Amerikanat ren says : “Henry Ward Beecher ar utom all frago Araerikas ryktbavaste man inom det and liga brodraskapets leder," which must be eminently satisfactory to him.
