.An umbrella deserves no credit for

An Klectiou Story
In an old Pennsylvania I own where
they voted the ’Democratic ticket
>-ound, (so the story goes,) in 18(18 the
experiment was made by putting n
lb-publican ticket in the field. A Mr.
Green was the candidate selected, but
by reason of sickness was unable to
go the polls on election day. "When
the return was published, 5lr. Green
had but one.
Chagrined at this, and annoyed at
the accusation that lie had voted for
himself, he unnounccd that if the per
son who voted for him would come for
ward and make affidavit to the facts,
lie would reward him with a suit of
clothes.
A few mornings afterward a burly
Dutchman called upon Mr. Green anil
abruptly remarked:
“1 wants dat suit of does.’
“Thcu you arc the man who voted
for me?”
“Yah, I am dat man.”
“Arc you willingto make an afii
davit of it?”
“Yah, I swear to cm.
Mr. Green accompanied by the in
tclligent voter, went to the office of
justice of the peace, and the required
affidavit wi 8 made; upon which the
clothes were purchased and given to
the deponent. At parting Mr. Green
said:
“Now, my friend, just answer me
one question. How came you to vote
for me?’’
“You vants to know dat?' 1
“Yes.”
“And you von’t go back ou de
does?”
“No.”
“Veil,” said be, slowly, and with a
sly twinkle of the eye, “den I tole you
—I made a mistake in de ticket!”
TiikGukat Wall in China.—
Governor Seward, speaking of the
great wall of China, which lie exam
ined during his late trip to the cast,
says:
The Chinese have been for at least
two or three thousand years a wall-
making people. It would bankrupt
New Yorn or Paris to build up the
walls of Perkin. The great wall of
China is the wall of the world. It is
forty feet high. The lower thirty is of
hewn limestone and gianile. The
modern carriages may puss eacli other
on the summit. It has a parapet
throughout the entire length, with
convenient staircases, burtresss and
garrison houses at every quarter of a
mile, and it runs not by cutting down
hills, and raising valleys, but over the
uneven crests of the mountains and
through their gorges a distance of a
thousand miles. Admiral ltogcrs and
1 calculated that it would cost more
now to build the great wall of China,
through its extent of one thousand
mile, than it cost to build the fifty-live
thousand miles ot railroads in the Uni
ted States. What a commentary it is
upon the ephemeral range of the hu
man intellect to see tins great vtitita-
rian entox prise, so neccssaiy and effec
tive a thousand years ago, now not
merely useless but an incumprance
ami n'u obstruction.
The Newspaper.
General Jackson, when President,
said to one of his fiercest newspaper
opponents, “send me your newspaper.
1 know that you oppose me, hut then
1 should like to see your paper every
day: I want to sec how many lies you
can tell on me. ’
‘'General," said the editor. “I think
J do right in opposing you, and 1 shall
continue to do so with'all the ability
of which 1 am master.”
Hero was a man after Jackson's own
heart, and ho iustautly replied with an
oath, “Sir, send me your paper, for
aside from your abuse of me, your pa
per is a good one. Besides, 1 never
saw a newspaper in which I could not
find something worth reading.”
Just so. No man cau pick up any
newspaper without finding something
of interest. You xyay take the paper
and tear it into fragments, and in each
fragment you will see something to
xunusc or instruct you,
A certain doctor who sometimes
drank a good deal at dinner, was sum
moned one evening to sec a lady pa
tient -when lie was more than “half
seas over,” aud conscience that he
so. On feeling her pulse aud finding
himself unabic to count its beats lie
muttered, “Drunk, by Jove!” Next
morning, recollecting the circumstan
ces, lie was greatly vexed, aud just as
he was thinking what explanation he
should offer to the lady, a letter was
put in his hand.
“She too well knew,” said the letter,
“that he had discovered the uutoriuu-
ntc condition in which she was in
when lie visited her,” and she entreat
ed him to keep the matter a secret, iu
consideration ot the enclosed—a bun
dled dollar bill.
Our Iricud Sawtcll, after smacking
his chops over a delicious dish of
strawberries, coolly talks of putting a
quarter of a pound of No. 8 shot, un
der the skins of depredators who infest
the gardens of Cnthbert. To heighten
and intensify his vengeance, and their
TunUhment, he proposes to use some
wnd of a mitrailleuse, which can be
fired six or eight times a minute. We
have noticed that Editors axe gener
ally very blood thirsty, toward garden
thieves while strawberries last,
