Among the names registered at the Tombs the oilier nighty was that of a youth about fificeifcjteprs of age, who had been arrested tor drunken ness. But he was not druttk, nor had he been drinking. Ho was, mo:cover, in good sound health, but gave all the external indications of being intoxicated when arrested by a police officer. Upon protesting u> (he keeper of the Tombs that fee was not intoxicated, it wai revealed that the unfortunate youth had been born a natural drunkard, or rattier that he had always acted like such h illing. Ho said that although in goOebealih, he had never been able to wok with out staggering. His speeS was not unlike that of persons* a de cided stale of intoxication, and when excited he would mutter and reel. The unfortunate youth was detained until the next day and was not sent to court to be gazed at through ju dicial spectacles. A subsequent in vestigation of the case proved that the lad had been telling the truth about himself, but his condition re- ealed a demonstration of the natu ral law that the child is a lair copy of his parents. It appears that prior 11‘> marriage, the father had been a i secret but confirmed inebriate, and when the facts became known to the wo nan thus suddenly aud unex pectedly, she wept in the most terri ble manner. Almost broken heart ed she contemplated the future mis ery in store for her. Months passed away, when it was discovered that the child at three years of age, acted strangely; and at the end of six months the unhap py woman fully realized all her fore bodings.

But the boy that was brought into ihe Tombs was not drunk, but had entailed upon him a life of misery.—N. Y. Tribune. Two Yankees strolling in the woods without any arms in their possession, observed a bear climbing tlieTrHjWA'j' it&JKKft clafC*! around ward and caught the bear’* paws, one in each hand. He then called out to his comrade : 'Jonathan, tun home and bring something to kill the varmint. Mind you don’t staj, or I’m in a fix.’ Jonathan, ran off, but stayed a long time. During the interval the bear made several attempts to bite the hands ol him who held it. At length Jonathan came back. ‘Hallo, what kept you so long?’ ‘Well, I’ll tell you. When 1 got home breakfast was ready, so I slopped to eat it. 15 ‘Well,’ said his cofnrade, ‘come you now, and hold the critter while 1 kill it.’ Jonathan seized the bear’s paws and held the animal. ‘Well, have you got hold of him?’ ‘I guess I have.’ ‘Very well, then, hold fast; I am off'for dinner.’ A Racy Examination. _ The following racy examination of candidates tor admission to the bar is taken from the Western Law Journal: The examination commenced with, “Do you smoke ?” “I do, sir.” “Have you a spare cigar?” “Yes, sir.” (Extends a short six.) “Now, sir, what is the first duty of a lawyer ?” “To collect fees.” “Right. What is the second ?” “To increase the number of cli ents.” “When does the position towards clients change?” “When making out a bill of costs.” “Explain.” “We then occupy the antagonistic position. I become the plaintiff and he becomes the defendant.” “A suit decided, how do you stand with the lawyer conducting the other side?” “Cheek by jowl.” “Enough, sir. You promise to be come an ornament to your profess ion, and I wish you success. Now, vou are aware of the duty you owe me?” “Perfectly.” “Describe it.” “It is to invite you to drink.” “But suppose I decline?” Candidate scratches his head. “There is no instance of the kind on record in the books. I cannot answer the question.” “You are right. And the confi dence with which you make the as sertion shows conclusively lhal you read the law attentively.

Where i» the great public work that tells of the outlay of these immense sums' W hat deed of benevolence or h<>ur*t fame has been achieved ? Other lands have been plundered by the oppressor, hut none was ever left so naked and destitute of every advan tage arising from Us own mighty contributions. The great Napoleon wasted the substance of France, anti consumed her vitals in the remorseless rage of ambition; he hurled the ris- ing generations of his empire one after the other into the flaming vi»r **x of war ; he gave them to the edge ol the sword, and to the unconquerable fury of the elements ; he palsied all the industries, and blighted every field and fireside ; the shadow of the tax gatherer and the conscript officer fell on every foot of French soil; aud yet convulsive sobs ofgrief shook the breasts of his subjects when he fell; and the whole empire stood uncovered at his bier when his dead body was brought back from the tropical seas io sleep in her bosom. Though he had oppressed France, he had given her glorv in return. Though he had taken with unlicensed hand, he had adorned her as a lover does the mistress of his heart. Stately buildings reared their heads on high ; solid thorough fares were opened for the people ; waste lands were drained and re claimed ; education was fostered; the arts and sciences were munifi cently palronized,and a code of laws was passed and promulgated which established and enforced domestic justice and peace. She had these benefits of which to boast when re minded ofherawfuj sacrifices. And when Caesar, ihe armed con queror aud spoilalor of his own and bridges thrown across wide river*; no parched pi tins irrigated and made productive, no rice swamps ditched and redeemed for cultivation ; no canals cut in order to connect thr natural channels ot trade and com merce ; no rivers improved or har- l*or« made more spacious and secure; none of these works of utility and patriotism relieve the monotonous desolation winch unholy avaiice and unrestrained oppression has stamped upon the South. She has nothing to mitigate her degradation. She has been stripped and robbed aud left by the wayside. Her effects, moneys and credits have been transporter! to other slates and clitneg, to return to her no more for ever. Her well-favored and fat Heshcd kmc, feeding in her mead ows, have been devoured.

Sir, i challenge the dark annals of the human race for u parallel to the robberies which have lie-n perpetra ted upon eleven American States.— Ireland lias been made to enrich many a lawless lord lieutenant, sem over by England to govern that beautiful but unhappy island. The stories of her wrongs and pillage have been said and sung in every hamlet in the civilized world ; ye. her contributions loth- cause of a w’icked government have been mere pittances compared with what the South has been compelled to make. Seventy years before the birth of Christ, Sicily was ravaged and despoiled by a con«u! of Rome. Though more than nineieen centu ries have come and gone since then, yet the name of Verres retains all its freshness of immortal infamy. He was prosecuted- by the authority of the Roman Senate, and fled for an asylum to strange and foreign lands. He died miserably in exile, and his dishonored dust was not permitted to mingle with the soil of the Roman Republic. We find, however, in “He hath brought man/ captives home to Rome Whose ransom* did the general coffer* fill.” And— “When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept.” __And nBy- 1 “Hera i*the will and under Caesar’* seal. To ever/ Roman citisen he gives, To ever/ several man. seventy-five drachmas.” • • # # * * “Moreover, he hath left you all his wslks, His private arbors, and new planted orchards On this tide Tiber ; lie hath lettthein you, And to your heirs firever; common pleasures To walk abroad and recreate yourselves.” If he htd plundered the Roman treasury, he had often filled it again ; it his vaulting ambition brought sor row to the poor, he sympathized with them; if his career was stained with extortion, he expended his gains in beautifying the Eterna - . City ; if he had robbed the people of their sub stances in his lifetime, he provided that much of it should return to them at his death. Aud if we turn from the iar off* regions of antiquity to the immediate present, still we find no parallel to the evil administrations of the South. With what a clamor the corrupt practices of four or five men iu the city of New York have been hailed lor many months past. The air has been vocal; the press has resounded; the telegraph has been made weaiy of its daily bur den, and the accusing voice of self- righteous indignation has been uni versal and unceasing. The Demo cratic party, it is true, crushed these men in an instant; but still the sto ry of their offences salutes us every where. Aud yet their work of ex tortion, compared to lhal in the South, is as the mote to the beam, the mole hilt to the mountain, the speck in the sky to the cloud that overspreads and darkens the whole heavens. Their crimes, too, have a still further mitigation in the com parison. If they enriched them selves, they at least did not take all. They made New York the wonder and the glory of modern civilization. It they robbed the people, they be stowed upon them in return a city more magnificently adorned with public works than Rome or Paris in their days of pride, of pomp and of power. Her glorious parks, her vast avenues, her newly opened, solid, and far reaching streets will testify to after ages that her officials ben queathed to her some compensation for the wrongs they inflicted upon her good name. No such conduct illuminates a single page of the pres ent epoch in the S »uth. You look in vain from HatnptJn Roads to the Bay of Galveston lor a single monu ment erected to the public good by that party which has so sternly and so corruptly governed in all that wide-spread regiou. No colleges, seminaries or schools founded and eodowed with treasures that have been stolen ; no lofty edifices or du rable roadi constructad J no massive the peculations, extortions, bribes aud larcenies charged upon Verres, during his entire administration of the affairs of Sicily, did not exceed two million dollars, equal to only one-third of the amount for which Sott, fraudulently issued me uonu« ol South Carolina in a single trans action. The basest Roman consul whose name is preserved on the pages of the historian, becomes re spectable by the side of a Southern Goxernor under the present policy of this government. The crimes of Warren Hastings, as the ruler of dis tant and conquered colonies, have long been the theme of swelling pe riods and lofty declamation. There was much in his situation to extenu ate his offenses. He was changed by his government to hold its valua ble possessions on the opposite side of the globe. He was iu tlie-midst of fierce, revengeful and undying hostilities. He was surrounded by a race with which he had no bond or lie of blood, or of lauguage. It was perfidious and cruel, and mock ed at the faith of treaties. But even admitting that his guilt was as great as it was painted by the fi lming im agination of Burke or the impassion ed rhetoric of Sheridan, yet all the burdens he imposed upon all the East Indies do not equal those which have been fastened upon the two States of Georgia and Louisiana alone, since, the disastrous dawn of reconstruction. Sir, on the facts which I have stated I invoke the judgement of the country. What right have you to expect peace and oider in a land whose rulers are lawless felons ?— When did a bad government ever fail to produce wickedness and crime ? Do you expect the [>eople to obey the laws when their officials do not ? Do you expect them to love and reverence a government whose policy has made them bank rupt and miserable? Do you won der that they become restless, des perate, and disobedient as they dai ly behold the fruits of their toil stol en in the name of their government ? Are you amazed at scenes of vio lence, outrage, bloodshed and cruel vengeance, when the Executive oi a State sets aside the entire adminis tration of justice ? Rather should you be filled with astonishment at the forbearance and moderation you have witnessed. II the foremost agents in the work of Southern ruin and destruction' since the close of I \ou sown the seeds f wou'd Inve reaped ; of contentment nu<I obedience. Had you extended you? charities and vour justice to a dis-. i reused people, you would hav« awakened a grateful affection iu re, turn. But as you have planted in bate ami nurtured in corruption, s«* have been the fruits which you have gathered. A Juuv of l’tiERS.—There dwelt years ago, in Bourbon countv, Kentucky, a drunken, worthless, one eyed fellow named C—■ . whose chief occupations were get ting lipsey and fighting. There had just been ebeted a new prosecuting attorney, who was entitled to a part ot the lines imposed on the malefac tors ol Bourbon, and be determined to squelch old C . He did not wait long lor an opportunity to have him arrested. B , the constable, said as it was an i(T)|>or- tanl ease, be wanted about three • lays to get an appropriate jury to try it. On the third day the r.evr alloniry was informed that things were re.itlv nt the Court House.— I here was the judge, and behind him the constable. On one side sat old one-eyed C ; on the other the twelve jurymen, ‘jess like him,’ om the tienclies forming a triangle, each with a plug of tobaccoanrl j ick- knife, the gift of the constable, whit tlin'* away, and, according to order, spirting to thr. centre. The astonished prosecutor looked to the jury, and exclaimed : “Where did the constable get this jury ?’’ I'he constable quietly replied, “I thought the prisoner was entitled to be tried by a jury of his peers, and Fve been out three days hunting ’em irp. I’ve got twelve fere, but d yon don l like Vm, I’ve got twelve more outside waiting.’ The prosecutor looked and saw, sealed on the fence, twelve more dit- toes, similarly equipped and em ployer!. He turned to the Court in undisguised wrath and said : “I’ll dismiss this case !” J he constable wrote his return on the warrant thus, “Dismissed by the county attorney on sight of ihe jury,' mid so it stands recorded to this day. The prisoner was discharged, and left the court house rejoicing at hav. mg been deprived of his constitu tional right of being tried by the A Simple and Certain iiemedy for Dandruff.—John L. Davis, in the Journal ot Pharmacy, gives the fol lowing, which all should remember: The belief lhat dandruff arises from a disease of the skin, although physicians do not seem to agree on this point, and the knowledge that the use of sulphur is fre quently at tended with very happy results in such diseases, induced me to try it in my own case. A preparation of one ounce ol sulphur and one quart of water was made. The clear li quid was poured off. after the mix ture had been repeatedly agitated during intervals of a few hours, and the head was saturated with this ev ery morning. In a few weeks eve ry trace of dandruff had disappear ed, the hair became soft and glossy, and now, after a discontinuance of the treatment (or eighteen months, there is no indication of the return of the disease. I do not pretend to explain the modus operandi of the treatment, for it is well known that sublimed sulphur is almost or whoL ly insoluble, and the liquid used was destitute ol taste, color or smeil. The effect speaks for itself. Other per sons, to whom it has been recom mended, have had the same results, ami I communicate the result of n.y experiments in the belief that it may be valuable am! acceptable to many who have suffered in .he same man ner as myself. An Impossibility.—You may worm a fence around a winter’s sup ply of summer weather, skim the clouds from the sky with a teaspoon, catch a thunderbolt in a bladder, break a hurricane to harness, la>s<> an avalanche, hive ail the stars in n nail keg, hang the ocean on a rail fence to dry, put the sky to soak in a gourd, unbuckle the belly band of eteriiily, and paste “To Let” on the sun and moon; but never tor one moment, delude yourself with the idea that you can escape that place on the other side of purgatory and to heaven unless you pay the printer promptly.
