Abolitionist shot.
--On Saturday week, at Taylor's Creek, St Francis county, Ark, a New England school teacher, who had married and settled in the neighborhood, was shot by his neighbors and killed on the spot, a considerable number of balls entering hi body.
He had been engaged in some abolition proceedings, and when approached by his neighbors he fired upon them twice, wounding one of them in the leg. His own fate was speedily decided.

The Zonaves.
The Puritan propensity for humbug shows itself in military as much as in commercial life.
We have all learned by sad experience the wooden nutmeg practices of New England traders, the brown paper and chip soled shoes, the hollow brass rivets of trunks, and the million of hollownesses and artifices which they have imposed upon us for generations.
Humbug in trade, literature, education, has been the universal order of the day. No trick has been more enormous and profitable than that of giving big names to little things, calling every school a college, every teacher a professor, every quack a doctor, every miserable mineral puddle, a delightful watering-place, every demagogue a statesman, and every rich black guard a gentleman.

They are about as much like Zouaves as they are like angels.
