II. T. Tuckerman, in a recent volume
of essays entitled “The Criterion in the
the Test of Talk about Familiar Things,”
just published, tells the following amusing
anecdote : “A venerable Justice in one
of our cities was remarkable for tlie fre
quent reproofs he administered to young
practitioners in his court, and the formal
harrangues with which he wore out the
patience of those so unfortunate as to give
testimony in his presence. On one occa
sion it happened that he was summoned
as a witness in a case to be defended by
one of the juvenile members of the bar
whom be bad often called to order with
juare of ten lines for j needless severity. This hopeful limb of
the law was gifted wiih more than a com
in (ii shaie of the cool
site in the profession, and determined ta
improve the opportunity to make his
‘learned friend’ on the bench feel the sting
he, had _ so often inflicted. Accordingly,
when his honor took the stand, the coun
sel gravely inquired his name, place of
residence, and sundry other facts of his
personal history—though all were familiar
to himself and every one present as the
old church, or main street of their native
town. I’ll? quories were put in a voice and |
; with a manner so exactly imitative of that j
1 of the Judge himself as to convulse the
I audience with laughter; every unnecessary
word the hampered witness used was rep-
( rimanded as ‘beyond the question he

truth, the whole truth and nothing but the

Gen. L»r Again Before the Recenstructien
Committee.
“We understand,” says the Boston
Commercial, “that Gen. R. E. Lee will be
summoned again before the Reconstruction
Committee, and the following questions
will be proposed to him” :
Is not pitching quoits a favorite amuse
ment in Virginia, and will the people of
Virginia be ready to give it up and take
up the game of base ball instead?
Will the people of Virginia be inclined
to give op the eating of bacon and greens
and to substitute therefor the Yankee
dishes of pork and beans and codfish and
potatoes ?
18 there any prejudice i.i Virginia
against buckwheat cakes and popped corn
assu.ance so requi- ag y an j, ee dishes ? And is that prejudice
truth his expressions wire captiously f
increasing or decreasing?
In your judgment have secession doc
trines been promoted in Virginia by the
drinking of mint juleps? And is there
any prejudice there against sherry cobblers
as a Northern drink ?
Do the people of Virginia read the wri
tings of R. W. Emerson ? and if so do
they understand them ?
Would a young man in Virginia be dis
inclined to marry a Yankee girl who was
young good looking, and a rich man’s
daughter ?
I/O you have Thanksgiving day in Vir
ginia, atid is the shooting of turkeys prac
ticed on that day ? W ould a Virginia
marksman be unwilling to fire at a turkey

I
objected to; be was tantalized with repeti
tions and cross questions about the veriest
trifles; and finally, his tormentor, with a
face of the utmost gravity, pretended to
discover in the witness a levity of bearing,
and equivocal replies, which called for a
lecture on ‘the responsibility of an oath;’
this was delivered with a pedantic solem
nity, in words, accent and gesture so like
one of his own addresses from the bench,
that. Judge, Jury and spectators burst
forth into irresistible peals of laughter;
and the subject of this clever retaliation
lost all self-possession, grew red and pale
by turns, fumed, and at last protested, un
til bis young adversary wound up the farce
by a threat to commit him for contempt of
court.”
On Marrying.—Some fellow, who
seems to think well of the “institution,”
discourses of marrying. Hear him :
Get married, young man, and be quick
about it, too ! Don’t wait for the Milleni
um, hoping that the girls may turn to an-
geis, before you trust yourself with one of
them.
A pretty thing you’d be alongside an
angel, wouldn’t you—you brute! Don’t
wait another Jay, but right now—this very
night ask some nice, industrious girl to go

The Case of Mr. Davis.—An Eng
lish Argument on Secession.—The Phil
adelphia Ledger has the following
from a Washington correspondent:
The Supreme Court having ad
journed, trials by court martial have
been abandoned, and there being no
present probability of convicting Da
vis before a civil court, the President,
it is freely rumoied, has about conclu
ded to order his release on parole. Mr.
Stephens is reported to have express
ed the conviction that lie would be
‘ released,” and as Mr. S. has just
held a long interview with the Presi
dent, it is not unlikely but what he
is fore-shadowing the event.
In this connection I will say that a
most important argument, covering
eighty printed pages, has been receiv
ed by the President from London, in
which are set forth the reason why
Davis cannot be convicted in any
court of the crime of treason. The
ground gone over dates from the foun
dation of the Government—includes
the “Rights of the States” as then un
derstood—the action of New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, Massachusetts
and other States in accepting the Con
stitution and the opinions of Washing
ton, Fisher Ames, Hamilton, Webster,
Ellsworth, Rufus King, Davis, Spen
cer, Madison, Jay, Randolph, Frank
lin, Tench, Cox, James Wilson and
Chief Justice McKean of Pennsylva
nia. The purport of the opinions of
these honored dead, as showing the
sovereignty of the States, and which
the barrister who sends to the Presi
dent the argument gives in detail,
may be summed up in the remark of
Air. Wilson in the Pennsylvania Con
vention of 1787.
“Upon the existence of the State
Governments depends the existence
of the Federal plan. The supreme,
absolute and uncontrollable power in
the people before they make a Consti
tution, and remains in them after it is
made. * * * • * My position
is, that the absolute sovereignty never
goes from the people.”

Description of a Well-Taxed Country.
Sidney Smith’s terrible picture of his
own well taxed country will never be for
gotten. What was then, and is still, true
of England has been made too true of our
country, by the wicked policy of sectional
parties and by tbe robberies and plunder
ing which were permitted in the prosecu
tion of the war. Here is the picture :—

Terrible Murder
A terrible massacre occurred in Plii
adelpbia, in the lower section of the
city on Friday before last, of a fami
ly of seven persons—Christopher
Deering, his wife, niece and four chil
dren, on Air. Deering’s farm, at Point
House, and one Janies Lane. It is
supposed the murders were commit
ted by a German laborer on the farm.
The crime was discovered by finding
the bodies of Deering and his wife in
the barn. One of the children was a
baby ten months old. Money seems
to have been the sole object. The
horses and cattle in the stable were
found in a famishing condition.
The murderers were arrested in
Philadelphia last Friday, and are two

Donation to the Southern Relief Fair by

Through Mrs. Colonel Wright Rives,
Airs. Samuel P. Williams, Mrs. Frank
Rives, Miss Julia Rives and Aiiss Nannie
M aury, of Washington, she dispatched
to the fair a magnificent and fragrant bas

The First case under the Civil
Rights Bill has arisen at Lafayette,
Iudiana, where a negro, one Barnes,
brought suit against “a prominent
citizen” to enforce a contract. De
fendant, to evade his liability, meanly
enough, as appears to us, pleads the
13th article of the Indiana State Con
stitution, which prohibits negroes
from coming into that State. Plain-
in Philadelphia.— J tiff demurs to the answer that the
13th article is null and void because
contravening the letter and spirit “of
the Constitution of the United States
and the 1st section of the Civil Rights
Bill which gives to all persons, born
in the United States, full right to
make and enforce contracts, any law,
statute, etc., to the contrary notwith
standing. The court sustained the
demurrer, and the defendant appealed
to the Circuit Court of the State, now
in session, where the case will be ad
judged in a few days.

tears unbidden to start in the eyes of those
unused to the melting mood:—“We are

indulging in that wholesome recreation
was observed by a spectator to leave be
hind her for some distance a trail of what

The effect of the Proclamation.—Tbe
Western telegrams say the President
is reported to have recently declared
that his late proclamation was simply
a declaration of his policy, and did not
terminate martial law in the late in
surrectionary States.
This statement, if true, puts an end
to all labored and ingenious editoiials
argumentative to prove what must be
the legal effect of the Peace Procla
mation. What we assumed in the
outset as the common sense of the
matter proves correct, to-wit: that if
the President meant, by that instru
ment, to abolish military jurisdiction
and restore the habeas corpus in the
Southern States, he would have said
as much in so many plain and direct
words, and left no share for conjee- j
ture, hypothesis and argument. He»
Political News.—The Western Demo

Interpretation of Dreams.—To dream of
a mill stone round your neck, is a sign of
what you may expect if you get an ex
travagant wife. When a young lady
dreams of a coffin, it betokens that she
should instantly discontinue lacing her
stays, and always go warmly and thickly
shod in wet weather. To dream of fire
is a sign that—if you are wise—you will
see that the lights in your house are out
before you go to bed. To dream that your 1
nose is red at the end, is an intimation that
you had better leave off brandy and wa
ter.
ings and machinery having cost $500,000. The
great feature of the works is the economy in the
use of chemicals, which disintegrate the wood
and bleach the pulp, the refuse being carried to
the evaporating house, where the chemicals are
rendered lit for using again, only 20 per cent of
fresh stock being added to it to make it equal to
its former strength. At the adjoining, Great Rock
Paper Mills, excellent printing paper is wade with
80 per cent of wood pulp and 20 per cent, of
straw pulp. From ten to fifteen tans of wood
pulp are turned out daily. The works have but
recently gone into operation, and already the
price of paper is reduced three cents per pound.
