According to the best scientific author ities the small-boy becomes a boy at the age of 16. At that age he ought to put away small-boyish things, and put on the bashful awkwardness of semi-intelligent boyhood. At all events, he ought to know that his presence is not desired by oung men who come to see his sister. he do not expect this amount of intelli gence in the small-boy, and it is otten necessary to bribe him with candy or to persuade him with clubs before he wrll consent to treat his sister with common humanity; but the 16-year-old boy usu ally perceives when an area of _courttng, accompanied with gradually increasmg ,pressure in the region of the waist and marked depression of the parlor gas, is about to set in, and thereupon discreetly, oven sneeringly, withdraws. Master Henry ’l‘. Johnson, of Warrens burg, 11]., is a boy who has just reached the period of boyhood, and who is re markably clever in the invention of traps. If you were to ask him to make you any variety of trap, from a rat-trap up to a man-trap, he would satisfy your demand with promptness and skill. His father‘s premises, both inside and out, is infested with traps, and there is no style of ani mal inhabiting Warrensburgthat has not been caught in one of these traps. One morning, early in January, it is confident ly asserted that no less than two eats, a tramp, a small dog, six chickens, and three small boys were found in Mr. Joh nson‘s yard in the close embrace of a cor responding number of traps. The truth is the boy has real mechanical genius.and :ltis a great pity that he is so totally lacking in modesty and a regard for the rights of others. Last fall a young man, who had met Master Johnson’s sister at a picnic and escorted her home, was seized with a great admiration of Master Johnson’s traps. and evinced a great fondness for that ingenious boy‘s society. In fact, he engaged the boy to give him a series of lesdons in trap-making, and seemed to throw his soul into rat-traps. Gradually this passion began to fade, and the young man, instead of studying traps in the back yard, formed the habit of resting himself—as he called it—in the parlor with Master Johnson’s sister. The boy, of course, could not consent to hurt his friend's feelings by abandoning him to the society of a there girl, and, therefore, followed him into the parlor, and monop olizad the conversation. After a time the young man openly abandoned the traps, and only visited the house in the even ings; but Master Johnson, mindful of the laws of hospitality, always spent the evening in the parlor, and more than once apologized to his friend for the si~ lenceand general uselessness of his sister. His astonishment, when one eventful evening the young man, with the full approbation of his sister, deliberately told him to “get out,“ and informed him that if he had not sense enough to know that he was a nuisance he would try to knock sense into him with a base ball club, cannot be expressed in words. Not only did he wonder at the un scientific idea that sense can be imported with a base-ball club, but he could not comprehend the young man’s sudden dis like of his once-courted society. How ever, he promptly withdrew, and devoted himself to schemes of swift and deadly vengeance. For the next week Master Johnson spent a large part of his time in the per lor with the doors locket], alleging that he was perfecting a new invention, and that his intellect could not work except in quiet and seclusion. Strange us it may nppear, he told the truth. He was per fecting s new kind of trap intended for the benefit of the rude young man and his unnatural sister. The former was ac customed to sit in u large ensy-ehnir, end the latter in a smell and fragile rocking- Chair on the opposite side of the room. To each of these chairs he utlixetl u nimt ingenious trup, which was concealed un derneath tlic sent, and was so contrived as to he strung by the weight of uhy person that might sit in the chair. It the young mun, for example, Were to sit down In his accustomed chair. he Would be in stantly clasped nrouncl the waist by n pair of iron urins. while two other iron Clasps Would sieze him by the unkles. A like result wuuhl {o“er tiny uttntnpt of the sister to heat herself in the rocking chuir, and it was Mmhr Johnson's lll tention. after having caught his g min. to leave them in close coitiiy f‘lllt‘lil‘, and to then rend them it sevt-ze lecture upon their rudeness.

Sumner’s Indifference to Women. Charles Sumner, when a young man, was indifferent to the charms of female society. He preferred to mingle with men. and Would desert the lovliest beauty to talk to the plainest man in the room. This preference w'as so marked that his friends used to lay wagers with the pretty girls that they could not keep him at their side a quarter of an hour. Mr. W. W. Story, the poet and sculptor, tells an anecdote which illustrates this peculiarity of young Sumner. At a din ner given at Judge Story's house it fell to Sumner to take out a brilliant and handsome woman. She had made a bet that she would absorb his attention. She exerted all her wit and fascinations to win, but in vain. For on the other side of Mr. Sumner sat a dry old savant. “Within five minutes,” writes Mr. Story, “Sumner had completely thrued his back on his fair companion, and en gaged in a discussion with the other, which lasted the whole dinner. We all laughed. She cast up her eyes deprecat ingly, acknowledged herseit’ vanquished and paid her bet." Mr. Sumner did not want to be amused; he had no wit, and little sense of humor. But he did like to talk to sensible men, and to hear them talk. The tenant was a mine of information, and young Sumner Was then in pursuit of knowledge and not of beauty. COLONEL Ixnnnsoufs humble admis sion thut he Could have improved on the univeraeit' he bud been Consulted is the dictum of a truly great mind. Not many such men come to this lower sphere, uud we ought to perpetunte his memory by erecting u colossul ututuc of him in pure brms. He reminds us of the French in« tidel who, stunding under an ouk tree und looking at u. gourd vine, euid thut if he had been spoken to übout the mutter he would have advised the Almighty to put the gourd on the oak tree, und the ueoru on the gourd vine. Just then rm neorn fell and hit him in the cranial region, where people’s bruins rue situnt ed, when they huve any. It wus lucky for him that the ucorn was not It gourd. and for once, and once only, he admitted that things are better us they are. The Colonel, however, diti‘ers from the French man, and persists in thinking that the universe Won‘t be quite pert’eet until his great brain is permitted to muke sugges tions. We believe in fair pluy, uud sug gest that the honors be divided between the Colonel and George Fruneis 'l‘ruin. If the world could only be persuuded to adopt the highly intellectuul propositions of these gentlemen, dethronc the Al mighty and accept the rule of the two mightiest. thinkers of any age. we are well assured thut something would hap pen at once-New Yer/c Herald. Wmm'isa m Scuoom IN GERMANY.— Icuuunt quit the bubjcttt nl' etlucutiun, says a Berlin col‘renpoudcut of the Revue Britanniqua, without pninting out :1 cu rious l'uct characteristic of German mam nets.

Grunt noticed it. and quietly said, "Lieutenant, send those men to the rear." Every soldier passing turned to gaze on him, but there was no further recognition. There was no McClellan, begging the boys to allow him to light his cigar by theirs, or inquiring to what regiment that exceedingly flue-marching company belonged. There was no l’ope, bullying the men for not marching fast-3 er, or otficers for some trivial detail re-i membered only by martinets. There was‘ no Bonaparte posturing for efi'ect, noi pointing to the Pyramids, no calling the centuries to witness. There was no non sense. no sentiment; only a plain busi? ness man of the republic, there for the one single purpose of getting that com-l mend across the river in the shortest time possible. On a horse near by, and among the still mounted staff, sat the general’s son, a bright looking lad of about eleven years. Fastened to his little waist by the broad yellow belt was his father's sword—that sword on whose clear steel was soon to be engraved Vicksburg. Spottsylvnnia, the Wilder-‘ ness nnd Richmond. The boy talked and jested with the bronzed soldiers near 3 him, who laughingly inquired where wei should camp, to which the young fieldi marshal replied, “over the rivur." Uveri the river! An ! that night we slept‘ with our guns in our hands; and another‘ night, and another, saw more than one of‘ our division camped beyond and overl the river—~in that. last teuting groundl where the reveille was heard no more; forever. I I next saw Grant on May 18, 1863, and this time at the battle of Champion Hills, in the rear of Vicksburg. We had crossed the Mississippi river at Grand Gulf, and swung otf east and north; had fought. the battles of Port Gibson, Ray mond and Jackson, and were overtaking Pemberton's army hastening to the wall of Vicksburg. it was a very hot day, and we had marched hard, slept little and rested none. Among the tnngnolins ou Champion Hills the enemy, 40,000 or 50,000 strong, turned on us. Sherman’s corps was already engaged far on the right, as we approached the field in that oVerpoweriug Mississippi sun. Our bii gade was soon in line, on the edge of the meadow, or open field sloping towards the woods, where the enemy were con oealed and steadily firing on us. We were in the most trying position of sol diers, for regulars even—being tired on without permi~sion to return the shots. We wore standing two files deep, hearing as patiently as we could not a heavy, but a steady tire from infantry, while an occasional cannon ball tore up the turf in front or behind us. A good many men wore falling, and the Wounded were being borne to the rear of the brigade, close to an old well, whose wooden (:urb seemed to otl'er the only protection from bullets on the exposed line. “(,‘ulonel. move your men a little by the left llank," said a quiet, though commanding voice. 011 looking round,[ saw,immediately behind us, Grant, the eoimuamler-in chief, mounted on a beautiful bay mare,‘ and followed by perhaps halt‘ a dozen ot" his statl'. For some reasons he dismount ed, and most of his otllcers ware sent on, bearing orders probably to other quar ters of the field. It was Grant under tire. The rattling musketry increased on our front and grew louder, too, on the left flank. Grant lmd led his horse to the left, and thus kept near to the com pany to which I belonged. He now stood leaning complacently against his favor ite steed, smoking—dis seemed habitual with him—the stamp of a cigar. His was the only horse near the line, and must naturally have attracted some of the enemy‘s the. What it' he should be killed, I thought to mysell'.aud thearmy be left without its commander! In front of us was an enemy; behind us and about us, and liable to overcome and crush us, were his relutoreemenls.

Every kind of tire nrui is represented, from the latest inven tion, with all its elaborate mechanism, costing from £OO to £IOO, down to the old flint-lock, which has been trans formed into a percussion gun by the vil lage blacksmith, looking as if it would be far more dangerous to its owner than to any wolf. Some were armed with rides, but every gun was loaded with ball, and more than one man could say how he had sat up all night covering his hul leta with old gloveleather, so that they mlght tit tight when rammed home in the barrel. Breakfast despatched, the whole party saiiied forth, and under the direction of one of the keepers took up their stations along the roads which traversed the for est, and down which the hunted Wolves, pursued by heaters and bounds, were to ,be driven. The under keeper reaps a rich harvest. He does not refuse the live ‘franc piece or even the gold coin offered him by most of the party, who fancy that by payment they can avoid the unpleas ant alternative of being stationed too near the individual with the transformed and murderous-looking flint-lock. “Put me by the side of Monsieur X—, and me by the side of M.Y—-—-—-," are the con stant requests made to Guillaume, who has sufficient of good sense to know how to divide the grain from the chaff, and distribute his master‘s guests. One or two hearts beat loud as the shouts and cries of the heaters are heard mingling with the haying of the Russian wolf-hounds and the yelping of the vil iage curs who had volunteered their ser ‘vices in hunting down their common .enemy. The wolf, doubling and doub ‘iiug to avoid his pursuers, was at times ‘close by, and five minutes afterwards iwuuld be half a mile away, facing the dogs every now and then to give one of his short, angry barks, and show his long, ‘gleaming teeth. The ground, hardened lby the thin coating of frozen snow, 1 brought plainly the sound of the racing of the dogs and of their quarry as they rushed along through the four and live ‘year-old underwood. l’ressed by his pursners, the wolf burst into view, ran the gauntlet of some seven or eight guns, and then took refuge in the Wood on the opposite side of the road, leaving a dog dead on the ground, killed by the bullet of some hasty butunsltiiful gunner. Ten minutes‘ pause was allowed the line of sharpshmiters, while the dogs and keep ers made a widecircuitwith their attend ant heaters to cut oil’ the retreat of the Wolf, who was toosiuggish and confident in his own superiority to go very fir. Again the hunt commenced, and while the hounds kept to their original \mll', tno lnorc Wolves with a wild boar were in uteri up by the village-curs, who gave chase and hunted them out on the road, where the wolves soon succumbed to the general Volley which greeted them, while the boar, whose hide Was enked with mud until it had become almost impenetrable, carried oli‘ his quantum of powder and bull, grunting out his disappoinlnn-nt at the welcome he had i'BCt'in'ti as he forced his way into the woods again. Quite half an hour had elapsed before the hounds managed, with the heaters, tocmn pel their original quarry to take the road they wished, and then the “music" came louder and louder, and the beast, coming out of the bushes, stood in the road as if debating which Way it should take. A bullet front the gun of one of the sports nieu broke its right shoulder, and in a minute the dogs were on it, fighting among themselves as to which should be, the first to worry. The hounds were driven off, not before some of them had been severely bitten, and the master of the hunt gave the coup do grace. The keepers attended at once to the aounded hounds, gushes were sewn up and attached with suture pins, and the three dead waives were home back to the chateau in triumph. 'l'heir beads, mounted by the ileud keeper, who has a great deal of tu~tc in such matters, will go to ornament the banquet hall, and form other trol hies of the dorm, which has become the only pa:tiine of our gentry and nobility who have no tnsle for the stormy and inglori ous discussions in the Chambers at Ver suiilcs.
