WIT & HI/MOB
Potlinnilcr Gc nral in Diagaiw.
Ob my way to the north in 1845, in company
with sorrel gentleman of New Orleans, it happen
ed- that the stage in which we were passengers,
stopped for supper at a small village situated be
tween the towns of Columbia and Zanesville, on
the Cumberland road, in the State of Ohio.
There wm a great gathering of militia captains,
lieutenants, ensigns, sergeants and corporals, with i
a considerable sprinkling of privates, all of whom |
had been exhibiting their patriotism during the
day, by marching up and down the road, shoul
dering arms, carrying arms, presenting arms,
charging bayonets preparatory to intended hostile
operation against the neighboring State of Michi
gan, the authorities of which, and those of the
State of Ohio, were at open war—almost—about
boundary.
For the purpose of amusement, it had been
agreed that the stage driver should be informed
confidently, that I was Amos Kendall, Postmas
ter General of the United States, travelling in
disguise, and assuming the very common name of
Smith, it order to discover abuse in the transpor
tation department. With many mysterious hints,
and strict charges of secrecy, John “was made ac
quainted with the awful fact, that he was actually
driving the important individual above named.—
The reins almost fell from his hands as he ex
claimed,
“What, Mr, Kindle! Amos Kindle !—it can’t
be possible!”
“It is possible,” answered the gentleman who
was imparting the information, and who was en
joying an outside seat; “and it is his wish to he
entirely private to avoid the attention that would
otherwise he lavished upon him.”
Tbo driver promised his most inviolable secre
cy and proceeded to curry’ down his horses.
We had not long been in our hotel, where our
supper was being prepared, before it was plainly
perceptible that something was going out; curi
ous glances were thrown into tlie bur-room where
wo were sitting—mititary officers flitted about or
Collected into groups—the landlord and his fami
ly began to spruce up, in brief, it was evident our
secret had been confidently imparted to half of
the viftage. *
The first demonstration that was mado, con
sisted of an invitation to my friends and myself to
accept the uso of a private parlor. This being at
once agreed to, the landlord ventured to suggest
that, if it was not disagreeable to me, iny fellow
citizens of the village would like to pay their res
pects to me, and take me by the hand.
“No objections in the world,” snid I “let the
worthy citizens come in.”
Then followed a scene of the richest kind of fur.,-
but Dickens has descibed a similar adventure, and
I pass on.
Supper was announced. I was placed! at the
head of the table; the richest viands and presorv
♦d fruits were set in profusion before us. We
feasted—and during the operation numerous fe
male heads, or rather heads of females, were con
tinually popping in at the windows and open doors
—while the piazza was filled with boys of all sizes,
who amused themselves by firing off Chinese
a Kickers, sending up young rockets, and shouting :
“Hurrah for Jackson!— aiui his Cabinet!”
Supper over, we retired to the bar and demand
ed cur bill of expenses. The landlord sipilingly
answered, that he was too happy to entertain us
without compensation—felt honored by my sitting
at his board and niy friends were equally welcome.
After much urging I consenting to receive his hos
pitality since he insisted upon it, hut my friends,
I would not conseut that they should feast at his
expenses—oil no! They must be allowed to pay
tor theirspfopcßd supper. Well, if [ insisted he
would take pay for them —and he did.
“Could I say two or throe words to you in pri-
Wte f” asked the landlord in a low voice, as lie
walked by my side toward the coach which was
waiting.
“By all moans,” I replied, and he led me a lit
tle one side, into a dark part of the piazza. After
two or three hems! to elear his throat, the land
lord commenced.
“Whatever others may think of you, sir, I con
sider you an honest man.”
“Sir, I feel very much obliged by the favorable
estimate you have formed of me.”
“Yes,sir, lot the opposition say what they please,
I believe you to boa conscientious individual—l
do.”
“Well, sir, considering this is the first time we
have ever met, I must say your liberality is extraor
dinary; but I thank you for your good opinion.”
“Ah, sir, though wo have never met, 1 know
yon well—we all know you for a most efficient
officer, and a deserving man.”
“It is true I am tolerably well known in the
Western and Southern counties, and as for my effi
ciency I behove I do push about as hard as a man
conveniently can.”
“That you do—all parties must acknowledge—
you Have effected many improvements in your de
partment.”
“Yes, I flatter myself that in the stage depart
ment I have made some improvements.”
“Your removals have met with general appro
bation iu this part of the country.”
“Removals ?—Oh, yes—l do travel a great
M”
“Yes, you do, and to somo purpose. Now I
wanted to speak to you about tho Postmaster
here.”
“Ihdeed! Well, what of him f”
“Are you not aware he is a WKiar t
“No—is he?” °
“Yes, he is—and it is thought by tho friends of
the administration hero that ho ought to be re
moved, and a good Democrat appointed.”
“What is tho office worth ?”
“About five hundred dollars a year.”
“Who would be a proper person for tho office ?”
“Why, I can’t exactly say—but if—”
“Would you accept the appointment!”
“Most willingly, if yon should think mo wor
thy.”
“Well, Til tell you what you’d better do.—
Write on to the department— state the matter as
you stated it to me, and perhaps—”
If you ivquld just make a memorandum it
would bo sufficient.”
“My dear sir, don’t depend on anything that
passes between us Acre—here lam Sol Smith, as
yok may see by the way. bill; but at Washington
—you understand.”
“Yes, I understand. Then I’ll write on to the
department.”
“Yes—write.”
“Sir, I shall depend on your good offices.”
r you u ay; your supper w. s-excellent. your
attentions shall not soon bo forgotten— farewell
write on to the department by all means.”
Th* worthy aspirant to the postmastership of
Ihe village accompanied me tc tho coach, careful
ly turned up the steps when I had entered, and
then joined his fellow-citizens in three loud cheers,
with which onr departure was honored.—-V. 0.

A Bloodr War Speech.
Fellow citizens and heroes! Hurrah ! There’s
got to lie a war! I’m in for whoping Great Bri
tain right off, without stopping for compliments!
We must hustle the British lion head over heels
out the everlasting borders of this Western Con
tinent I Hurrah for the annexation of Canada!
We mußt have the critter, head and heels, if we
have to wade in Uihxl up to our knees to pull
it from the horns of John Bull. We must do it!
I repeat it again, we must do it, and if we have to
drive the pick-axe of onr vongence clear to the
handle in Johnny's idle brains ? Where’s the pos
sum whose little soul don’t eeho them sentiments?
He ain’t no where nor never was. Can’t vou
and I, and every one of us, rouse up the wolf
of human nature till he’d paw the whole of Old
England clear down below low water mark ? Yes
sir ee. Every citizen of this tall land, from the
owl on the hemlock stub to the President in his
great armed chair, is in favor of this all thunder
ing and liberty-spreading measure. Just let these
glorious ideas pop into the United States cranium
fairly, and see if an earthquake shout, bursting
from twenty-six millions of India rubber lungs,
don’t shake tho whole earth—“crack tho zenith,”
and knock the very poles over! I tell you there is
nothing this side of the millcnium like our own
everlasting institutions? nor you cant scrape up
a flock of civilized beings, on the face of the whole
unmversal terra firma, who know so well how to
defend and spread them. What’s the Yankee
who won t fight for his country’ within three
quarters of an inch of his life, if it “tries his soul,
yes, and the upper leather too ?” What’s En
gland ? Why it ain’t nothihg at all scarcely.—
Uncle Sam will take it yet for a pocket handker
ehif to blow his nose upon when he gets a cold!
We are “bound to wake up snakes,” and no mis
take. Let us once get hold of the job in right
earnest, with all of Luclc Sam’s boys, and
if we don t dig a hole as deep as eternity with the
spado of \ ankce spunk, and scrcan thegreace
spots of the universal world and pitch them head
over end clear to the bottom of it, then lam no
two-legged crocodile!” When this is done you
wril see the soaring eagle of liberty flapping his
broad wings up and down the sides of the world
like a big rooster crowing on the top of a barrel.
\\ by, you are ready cocked and primed for the
onset, all you want is a live coal dropped upon
your devoted heads to touch you off! Methinks
the flashes of fire in your eyes to-day forebode the
blood and thunder, only mind that von don’t
flash in tho pan ! If you all do your bounden
duty in this crisis, y’ou’l! spit the tobacco iuien of
determination in John Bull’s eyes till ho has got
the blind staggers, when you can take him by the
tnil and sling him beyond all human recollection.
. Rouse ye—rouse ye—Let tho shout penetrate
every nook and cranny of North America—from
r T-ffP *°P ot *he -Artie regions clear to the straits
of Giberal a\ Canada and the United States
forever:—Begot in a ivarhoop—born in blood
cradled in thunder, and brought up in glory.
A fiipifn] Joke.
The Lord Chancellor of Ireland having mado an
appointment to visit tho Dublin Insane Asylum,
repaired there in absence of the chief manager,
and was admitted by one of the keepers, who was
waiting to receive a patient, answering the ap
pearance of Sir Edward. lie appeared to be very
talkative, but the attendants humored him, and
answered all his questions. He asked if the Sur
geon General nad arrived, and the keeper answer
ed him that lio would be there immediately.
Well, said lie, “J will inspects some of the
rooms until he arrives.”
“Oh, no,” said the keeper, “wo could not per
mit that at all.”
Then I will walk for a while in the garden,”
snid his lordship, “while 1 am waiting for him.”
“We cannot let you go there either, sir,” said
tho keeper.
“What!” said he, “don’t you know that I am
the Lord Chancellor ?”
“Sir,” said the keeper, “ivo have four more Lord
Chancellors hero already.”
ITo got in a great fury, and they were begin
ning to think of tho straght waist-coat for him,
when fortunately, the Surgeon General arrived.
“Has the Chancellor arrived yet?” asked ho.
The man burst out laughing at him, and said,
Yes sir, wo have him safe; but he is fur the most
outrageous patient we have.”
Mr. O’Connell told this anecdote in Dublin at
a public meeting.
Chopping .Logic and Cutting Answers.—
Dr. ,in propria persona, called upon a
Southern student one morning in the recitation
room to define logic. The question was some
thing in this form:
“Mr. , what is logic ?”
“Logie, sir, is the art of reasoning.”
“Ay; hut I wish you to give the definition in
the exact words of the learned author.”
“Oh, sir, he gives a very long, intricate, confu
sed definition, with which I did not think proper
to burden my memory.”
“Are you aware who the learned author is ?”
“Oh yes; vonr honor, sir.”
“Well then, I finoyoitone dollar for disrespect.”
Taking out a two dollar note, tho student said
with the utmost sang froid —
“If you will change this I will pay you on the
spot.”
“I fine you another dollar, sir,” said the Profes
sor, emphatically, “for repeated direspect
“Then ’tis just tho change, sir,” said the stu
dent coolly.
“Wife,” said the victim of a jealous rib, one
day, “I-intend'to go to Camp Meeting on Wed
nesday evening; and see the camp break up.”
“And—l think you won’t!” was the response.
Victim —“l’ll go if I see fit I”
Wise —“You’ll see Jits if you do go!”
lie did not go, probably on account of the
rain.
jtSr A physician passing by a gravestone ma
kers shop, called, “good morning, neighbor, hard
at work I see.. You finish your gravestones as
far as “in memory of,” and then wait, I suppose,
to see who wants a monument next.”
“Why, yes,” replied the old joker “unless some
body is sick, and you are doctoring ’urn, then I
keep right on.”
zSSTIt isnt always a mark of frankness to pos
sess an open countenance. An alligator is deceit
ful creature, aml ycthe presents an open eouhten
anee, when he is in the very act of taking you
in. .
“Father, I don’t like Bishop.”
“Why mv child ?”
“Because he sprinkled water all over my new
dress, and said ‘Fanny, I despise thee.’”’
“Mister, I say don’t suppose you don’t know
of nobody what don’t want to hire nobody to do
nothin’ for sowbodv no how, you don’t do" you ?”
1 “Yes; I guess not.”
