The moral of the song is, that a lady will always have the last word, be she insect or woman. Mr. Willis. SCRAPS FROM THE UNITED STATES The space at G. W.'s command will only permit him to notice generally, and most gratefully to acknowledge, the number, variety, and interest of C. F. D.'s communications, and sincerely to thank him for the kind manner in which they have been forwarded. * * * * * 1. The existence of Hebrew relics among the Pottawatomie Indians is extremely curious. That procured by Dr. Lykins is described as consisting of "Four small rolls or strips of parchment, closely packed in the small compartments of a little box or locket, of about an inch cubical content. On these parchments are written, in a style of unsurpassed excellence, and far more beautiful than print, portions of the Pentateuch, to be worn as frontlets, and intended as stimulants to the memory and moral sense." 2. A notice of Professor Stuart's death has been recorded in G. W.'s Literary and Scientific Obituary. "He published at least twenty-four volumes, and in addition to them many single sermons and newspaper essays, and contributed more than two thousand octavo pages to American periodicals. His commentaries are those on the Hebrews, Romans, Revelation, Daniel, Ecclesiastes, and the Proverbs. He printed his first Hebrew Grammar without points, and _set up about half the paradigms of verbs with his own hands_.--This grammar went through three editions, each one being more full than the preceding." 3. The intelligence of the Spanish Press is highly amusing. 4. The charge made against the Editor of the Oxford Edition of Milton requires proof or explanation. "Mr. Whittier states in the National Era, that the carefully prepared Oxford edition of Milton's Works, contains a poem by Elizabeth Lloyd, of Philadelphia, purporting to have been written by the poet in his old age and blindness, and which is so well executed, as to have deceived the English editor of his works. This poem is now going the rounds of the American press, as the production of Milton." 5. The appearance of the fifth and sixth volumes of Lord Mahon's History of England has thus brought forth the indignation of the editor of the Boston (U. S.) "Transcript." "They commence at the year 1763, and close with the year 1779, and comprise, of course, as the principal theme, the American Revolution--the rise and progress of the War of Independence. 'One point in the American War,' says the Spectator, 'Lord Mahon brings out quietly and impressively--the personal falsehood of Franklin, and often the brutality of the Americans at large.' Here will be a chance for our American reviewers and critics. 'The personal falsehood of Franklin!' It will take the affidavit of more than one Lord to make that credible."
