Eccentric Men. •
The great and increasing number of odd men
one laiely sees in the world, is sufficient of il&ell
lo suggest to our minds some speculations on the
subject. Such limited observations as I have
made, have led me to tbe conclusion that more
than nine-tenths of those prolessing eccentrici'y
are mere imposteta, who alfeet this odd.ly ol behavior either to hide some naiural delect of character, or lo glosa over some innate imperfection
ofthe mind.
Tbe literal meaning ofthe word eccentric would
signify '■ a flying Irom the centre j" which might
give some color to the supposition ofa connection
with it and insanity, I would deline eccentricity.
however, when properly applied; to denote r. eer"
lam original singularity of Uwugfet ;„o mi»U*m in
an individual so as to place liim in direct contraposition with other men «ho observe the usual
rules and regulations of life that nature or custom
bits adopted. This singularity must become mingled with the very nature ofthe man, and must be
rieefrom every appearance of dissimulation. It
shows iiseltin a rough shod perambulation of all
the laws that society has imposed for ita observ
ance. in a poimed and barth mode ot speaking,
aud in an undisguised contempt of mankind.
There may be some whose tempers have been so
siiured by the disappointments and perlidiousness
of the world, as in a measure to justify the leel
ings that such causes are apt to engender. These
are the truly eccentric men, Though not blameless, ihey always command our re.-pi ct aud veneration. Through all their rough exterior we see
good sense snd a philanthropy they ir; in vain to
smother. The world overlooks the faults of sueh
In ' ppreciation r.t their many excellences, not that
they would not extol them more iruoi possessed
of thia anomalism of manners.
It is from this reason ol their inability to dis
cern the real seeret oi the success ot the truly eccentric man. that we have so mauy impost ers
abroad. The asa assumes the covering ofthe lion,
but the tell taie ears show the nature of the ani-
uTal. If the perpendicular of a man's mind should
lean over so much iu the direction of Stockton,
aud he still be able to keep it from toppling, he
endeavors to obtain a reputation:for eccentricity,
and it is immediately righted. If (mother's (pan-
eeisbe ill-bred and■ offending, it ia attributed to
eccentricity, and the most polished politeness could
not be so engaging. With mauy, it ifl the starch
that stiffens m&i.- imbecile idea of the half-witted,
or the smoothing iron that glosses over every
rugged surlace of lb* vudely intelligent.
Of the many varieties 61 i ^posters I have seen.
1 will ment;-'n ou'j lwo - tbe geutleinau eccentric,
and thp-dSiwashed eccentric.
-jiie gentleman ecernvris is gen«r»lly on« who
]ms had the misfortune, when youug. to be tin ught
a promising youth. His pert ness having been mistaken for genius, aud his artfulness fot sagacity,
he haa been reitred with the bops ol gracing ft pro
fe-aion, when not possessed of sufficient ability to
aequire a trade. Nftlure, however, as If remorse*
lul ef having bestowed upon him so little ofher
patronage, has, at this !a>i moment, endeavored to
make as much reparation ks was in her power, by-
endowing him with one f culty, that of self-esteem,
which with linn has amply provided for all otber
deficiencies, iloihed in tbe impenetrate armor
0: self-appreciation, and waving alolt the sword Of
effrontery,he commences the battle of lite. As
these weapons were  never known  to fail, he suc-
eds beyond expectation, and, in Ihe ei.d, by some
ickery or  happy turn  of fortune,  probably   be
comes rich.
His reputation for eccentricity, is produced by
the inanv expedients to which he resorts iu order
to attract universal attention to himself. Wherever he is, he must be the central object. To attain this end, he affects au odd gait, a singular
manner of wearing his hat, a cei twin ahi opines* ul
speech, and all those peculiarities which are deemed requisite in the composition ol an eco-niri.:
men. His clothes must he at the very extreme of
fashion; or p-.rbapshe discards the mandates of

present the appearance of a close familiarity with
soap. His boots are of Ihe 'thickest leather, his
coat haB always a rupture at the ann-hn! B, !
his clothes, in general, show a greater ilesire lor
patronising home manufaclures than for beauty
aud cleanliness.
An example of these persons, whom I bare slyi-
ed as unwashed ecCeutrlCS, lately came under u,\
observation. Having, in a rash moiiieut, puiebas
ed a white shirt, he found that he had not the ran
rai courage to wear it until it had been immersed
in a tub of not very clear water for the purpose nl
extracting the starch. Every one who saw or

Henry F. W. Mewes, aHaa Charles Dowse, was
executed in the coiinty jail yard on Friday. 10:h
December, for the murder of Peter Hecker, on llie
4lh of June last. He was found guilty and convicted of this murder in the Fourth District Court,
sentence haviug  heen   passed upon him  Oct. 23d.
Most ofthe time during his impiisonment under the sentence, was occupied lu writing an oc
count ofhis life, in which he has made fdtl confession of the murder for which he was executed. He
has given quite a lengthy account of his life of
crime, whicli   he  has followed   Irom his  boyhu.d
up to tliis Cilnl pi-runl, llie    uuviuu $4   wbicli  U'liniu"
aied his existence.
His whole confession has nol been published, il
being of too great a length for publication in a
newspaper. From what has been published, wo
are informed lhat he wan born of respectable pn
rentage, in the city ol Gotteiogeti, kingdom of
Hanover, Germany, on the 9th April, 1858. Iiis
father's brother. H. W. Mewes, was a Professor In
tho Gottingen University. His father was a contractor, in good circumstances, and every effort
was made lo give iiis son a refined education, nnd
lo fit him for h life of u efulnesa. But, alas! his
life, like many ot. ers, has been wasted in sin and
stained with crime* of the deepest liue, p.'ihaps
from too kind indulgence of parents.
He was confined lour years In the State- PrlBOH
iu his own native country, besides sis months in
the house of correction, out oi which place he was
pardoned by tbe King, with the understanding
lhat he would leaue tbe country and never return.
UuiTer these circumstances ne stttled, accompanied
by his patents, for Baltimore. Iiis molher died
during the voyage, and his father soon after their
arrival at Baltimore. By hie father's death, be
was hft in possession o! $4,7U2. easl. This amount
he carried about his person, and througH his bad
associations he soon lost his money. Disheartened by this, be commenced hia stealing in Baltimore, was detected by a counlry man and allowed
to escape by giving up the sti.leu properly, lie
remained but a short time in iliat city afterwards,
when lie enlisted in the U. S. army. Soon after,
the company to which he beloHged was ordered
to California. Afler their arrival in this State,
the company was stationed at Fort Yuma. Ou
the march from Sau Diego to the fort, he (Mewes)
attempted to desert, but was afterwards excused.
Whitest I ort Yuma, his stealing propensity got
the better hand of him—stealing everything he
could gel his hands upon. Consequently, he whs
rom-t-inurtinli'd--found guilty and sen! ne. d lo
two years hard labor under guard at the Fort, At

branded with the letter T, and drummed out of
