Pettifogging Lawyers.— Of all the
misera le creatures in this world, it ap
pears to its that pettifogging lawyers are
the most contemptible : and God knows
there is: one contemptib e people staying
at present upon this terrestial Globe.
We have, on former occasions, edito
rially said a word or two about these pet
tyfogging things in human society. But,
the other day, while passing down the
North River in the steamer Troy, we
happened to be in a conversation with a
distinguished gentleman of Philadelphia;
and he incidentally related an incident
of a creature hereabouts, who passes un
der the cognomen of a “lawyer,” which,
for rascality, exceeds any tiling we have
before had confirmed.
The pith of the story was as follows :
A miserable creature was taken up for
forgery. lie was examined before an Al
derman, and committed for a further
hearing. Meantime, the scoundrel who
practised at the bar as a lawyer went
down to Moyamensiug Prison, called up
on the committed forger, and asked him,
pretty much in the words which follow :
“Suppose I should get you clear, what
have you got to give me ?”
“I don’t know exactly,” answered the
prisoner; “but my wife has a little prop
erty, which she inherited in her own
right from her dead and gone mother,
and I don’t know as I could get hold of
it.”
“Yes you can,” (instantly rejoined the
swindling Pettifogger.)
“But how ?” inquired the candidate for
the State’s Prison.
‘l'll tell you, if you’ll leave it all to tne,’
again rejoined the creature Law-Shark.
‘ And mind,” (he added, with a sort of
satanic grin,) ‘if you don’t do it, nothing
can keep you from the Penitentiary.”
To save himself from such a sad result,
the poor devil of afo'ger agreed to con
sult his wife. But what will not woman
—angelic woman—devoted woman, do,
for one she has sworn on the altar of her
God “to love, honor and obey /” You,
reader, know the result already. She—
the all-devoted wife and mother—with
her who e heart entered into the necessa
ry arrangements to give to the scoundrel
lawyer a clear title to the lust remnants
of property, which was given to a devo
ted daughter on the death-bed of her
much-loved mother, several years previ
ously.
Well, the said scoundrel lawyer now
had the undisputed and undisputable
possession of the said little property.—
VV hat did lie then 1 He employed a mis
erable creature, like himself, who would
sell his soul fora few dollars of the root
of all evil, to swear that the said forger,
then in Moyamensing Prison, was no.
the forger, and could not have been the
forger—because, as lie asseverated on the
Court stand, he, the said more-than sus
pected forger, was on the very day upon
which the forgery must have been com
mitted, in his [the witness’s] company,
occupied, all the day long, iu a very dif
fering calling.
Only think of it ! Hero is a creature,
entitling himself “a lawyer,” who buys
for a few dollars one of his fellow-men,
to perjure his soul and swear in open
Court to a lie, a “damned lie,” (as Shak
speare lias it,) while he himself (the mis
erable wretch of a miscalled Lawyer)
cheats, swindles and defrauds the unfor
tunate wife and mother [whose husband
lias now been irretrievably disgraced! of
her little all.
Are there no thunders in Heaven ?
Yes, there surely are—and they will fall
upon the heads of such damned villains.
We say nothing against upright, dig
nified, honest Lawyers—but will (iod in
his mercy deliver us from such pettifog
ging vagabonds, in genteel clothing, as
we have this day pictured the outline of/
A TEX IAN JOKER.
The following sterling bit of fun ap
peared in the “Texas Morning .Star,”
published at Houston, some two or three
years since:
Aquatic Scenery. —During the hard
est of the storm the day before yesterday,
we took a lounge down to the steamboat
lan ling;—while stand.ng on the brink
of a deep gully, where a drunken loafer
was stemming the torrent, ho ding on to
a root fast anchored in the bank. The
poor fellow, not knowing any one was
near him, was combating his fate man
fully, and in calculating his chances of
escape, gave utterance to the following :
“Haynt this a orful sitivation to be pla
ced in, no how ? If I wos a steamboat,
rail, or a woodpile, I’de be better worth
fifty cents on the dollar than I’ll ever be
again. Unless I’me a gone case now,
there haynt no truth in frenology. I’ve
weighed all the chances now like a gin
era!, and find only two that bears in my
favor; the first is a skunk hole to crawl
into, and the second a special iuterpo i
tion of Providence ; and the best chance
of the two is slim, if I only had the
change, I’d give a premium for the skunk
hole; them’s my sentiments. If I could
be a mink, a muskrat, or a water'snake,
for about two months, perhaps I would’ut
mount the first stump (other side the Bio,
and flap my wings and crow over ever
lastin’life, skientifically preserved. But
what’s the use holdin’ on this here root ?
There haynt no skunk hole in these ere
di.>gius; the water is gittin’ taller about
a feet, and if my nose was as long as king
dom come, it would’nt stick out much
lunger. Oh, Jerry ! Jerry ! you’re a gone
sucker, and I guess your mann don’t
know you’re out; poor woman ! won’t
she cry the glasses out of her spectacles
when she hears herdarlin’ Jerry has got
the whole of Bufferlo Bio for his coffin?
What a pity it is some phylanterpist, or
member of the humane society, never had
foresight enough to build a house over
this ere gutter, with a steam engine to
ke *p out the water ! If they'd done it in
lime, they might have had the honor and
iiu grutiiicut 111 o; siv u’ i!i - *»i* i
ier being; But it's an day with you, Jerry,
and a big harbor to cast anchor in. It’s i
too bad to go off in this orfnl manner,
when they knows I oilers hated water
ever since I was big enough to know
’(want whiskey. I feel the root gtvin
way, and sink I don't know a prayer,
here’s a hit of Watt’s Doxologer, to prove
that I died a Christian :
“On tlie bank where drooped the wilier,
Long’ lime agro.”
Before Jerry got to the conclusion, he
was washed into the bayou, within a few
feet of a large flat that had just started for
the steamboat; his eye caught the pros
pect of deliverance, and he changes the
linden of his dirge into a thrilling cry of
“Heave to ! passenger overboard <fc sink
ing, with a belt full of specie ! the man
what saves me makes his fortune!”—
Jerry was fished ashore by a darkey: and
to show his gratitude, invited Quiashey
“to go up to the doggery to liquor.”
Marshal Ney. The following is
copied from Allison’s description of the
passage of the br.dge of Kowno, on the
Nicrnen, by the remnant of the French
army, in their retreat from the Russian
territory in 1812:
“ The heroic Ney still covered the rear
when the troops were defiling over the
bridge. Four times the rear guard mel
ted away under his command, and as of
ten his example and activity had reform
ed a hand for the protection of the army,
lie arrived at Kowno and vstitute of troops ;
a few hundred of the Oai Guard alone
retained the use of their arms, and they
already defiling over the river. Instantly
collecting seven hundred fresh troops
whom he found in the town, and plant
ing twenty-four pieces of cannon remain
ing there on the redoubts, he made good
the post during the whole day against
the efforts of tue enemy. On the follow
ing day he still continued the defence,
but finding that his troops deserted him,
he seiz and a musket, and, with difficulty,
rallied thirty men to defend the gate of
Wilua. At length when the passage of
the troops who could be persuaded to
move was completed, he sftnvly retired
through the streets and across the river,
still facing the enemy, and was the last of
the grand army who left the Russian ter
ritory.
The first place the German side of the
Nietnen where any one of the persons
who had gone coil and rest, was Gembinen;
and General Muthien Dumas, who had
with great difficulty reached that place,
inconsequence of a malady under which
he had labored ever since leaving Mos
cow, had just entered the house of a
French physician where he had lodged
when passing there before on his entrance
into Russia, when a man entered, wrap
ped up in a large cloak, with a long
beard, his visage blackened with gun
powder, his whiskers half burned by fire,
but his eyes still sparkling with mide
cayed lustre. “At last here Ia n. What !
General Dumas, do yon not know me?”
“No. Who are you?” “I’m the rear guard
of the Grand Army—Marshal Ney. I
have fired the last musket-shot on the
bridge of Kowno: I have thrown into the
Niementhe last of our arms; and I have
walked hither as you see me, across the
forests.” With respectful solicitude, Gen.
Dumas received the hero of the retreat;
tlie benevolent host relieved his immedi
ate necessities ; and he soon after set out
with Dumas, in the calash of the iutter,
on the road for Koingsburg.”
Interesting to the Lvotes.—
Thera is not an hour in the day in which
a man so much likes to see his wife
dressed with neatness, as when she leaves
her bed-roo ti and sits down to breakfast.
At any oilier moment vanity stimulates
her efforts at the toilel, for she expects to
he seen ; but at this retired and early
hour, it is for the very sake of cleanli
ness, for the very sake of pleasing her
husband. “A woman should never ap
pear untidily or badly dressed in the
presence of Iter husband.” While he
was her lover, what a sad piece of busi
ness if he caught her dressed to disadvan
tage ! “Oh dear, there he is, an I my
hair all in papers, and this frightful un
becoming frock--what shall shall I do ?
Why, Ma, you receive him, and I’ll run
and put ou a dress that will be a little
more becoming.”
Thus it sometimes is before marriage.
But many an O and Bachelor swears m >st
lustily, that afier two years of wedlock,
in regard to the married lady’s toiler,
things are apt to change sadly for the
worse. And what is more, an O.d Bach
elor [as rich as Craems, now at our el
bow] declares, “Sir, that fear of the mar
ried woman,s toilet, has forced me to toil
on in siug.eness tor forty-seven years of
my mortal existence. And what is worse,
I am afraid it is destined to make me a
Bachelor for the balance of my days.”
Ladies, is it impertinent for us io ask
you to think kindiy of this important
hint /—Saturday Courier.
THE BONES OF BLACK IIAWK-BIS
SINGULAR GRAVE.
The remains of B ack Hawk were sto
len, and Governor Lucas made a requi
sition lor them in behalf ol the widow
and children of the o and braves,and found
diem in the hands of an anatomist at
Qjiincy, well cleaned and ready to be
wired. They are still at Burlington, tho’
it was the desire and expectation of the
family that they should be deposited in
the Burlington burial ground. A wri
ter in the Ilawkeye, in describing the
“new purchase,” on the ea>t side of Des
moines river, gives the following account
of the grave of Black Hawk : — Courier.
“At the upper end of the prairie, a few
hundred yards from where the timber
sets in, is die grave of die once renowned
c.lief of the Sac and Foxes—the mitjJity
and unconquerable Black Hawk. It
might not he out of place here to give a
deavipti< iof his grave. It is construc
i -d a ' i 1 if Indian m J • of burial,-by
. in ditig.i (. u >1 round poles about toil
■ kei long and three wide: then it is built
as high as the shoulders of a man won't]
be when sitting upon the ground. In the
west end of this pen, the mighty Black
Hawk was placed in a sitting posture,
with his face towards the rising sun; Ins
gun, tomahawk,and blankets were placed
by the side of him ; and then the pen was
covered over, leaving the head and neck
of the chief exposed to the weather; his
face was painted r. and, and stripped off
with black, just as a livingyoung Indian
dandy paints, when he goes a courting,
thus conveying the idea to the living In
dians, that the great chief had gone a
courting to another world, where he
should receive the favor of the “Great
Spirit,” and would he united to some
squaw, who has passed the hounds of
mortality, and there they would live for
ever, in the great hunting grounds where
deer and elk abound, and no white man
would he there to molest them.”
RESTORATION OF A RIFLE TO A
CHEROKEE WARRIOR.
0:i the 27th March, 1814, General
Jackson fought the celebrated battle at
the Ihrse Shoe, with tlie (/reek Indians.
The General posted the Cherokee Regi
ment, together with filie mounted Ten
nessee Volunteers, under Gen. Coffee, on
the opposite side of th river, so as to sur
round the bend and prevent the enemy
escaping in their canoes. In order to
enable the Cherokees to engage in the
conflict, “ Whale,” a Cherokee Warrior
of great bravery and resolution, with two
companion?, swam the river and carried
two of the Creek canoes across the river
lo their company. This*enabled the
Cherokees to obtain their canoes, with
which they succeeded in carrying over a
force strong enough to attack the enemy
in the rear and dislodge them from their
breast-works. “ Whale” received a run
shot wound in the shoulder, in the taking
of the first canoe. In 181(3, President
Madison had three rifles made at Har
per’s Ferry, to he presented to the three
warriors who first swam the river, to
gether with medals for each. The rifle
intended for “Whale,” however, he never
got—another person having obtained it.
On the fact being communicated to the
War Department by Gov. Butler, the
agent of the Cherokees, the Secretary ol
War has (tad another rifle prepared, to
he presented to the old warrior. There
is on it, a plate-likeness of Gen. Jackson,
and a silver plate is inserted in the stock
with this inscription : “ Presented by
the President of the United States lo
Whale, a Cherokee Warrior, Jar his
signal valor and heroism at the Battle
of the llorse Shoe, in March, 1814.”
This rifle, accompanied hv the medal,
will be presented to him by Gov. Butler,
[now here,] on his return to the Chero
kee agency. The mounting and engra
ving on this rifle has been executed in a
beautiful and workmanlike maimer, by
Robert Leyworth, Pennsylvania avenue.

Reduction of Postage.— Mr. Ken
dall, in the Expositor, argues that the let
ter postage cannot be reduced without
seriously diminishing the revenue, un
less newspapers, magazines and other
printed matter conveyed through the me
dium of tlie mails be subjected to a pos
tage equivalent to the expenses incurred
in their transportation, or that “the De
partment shoutd be relieved, by a pur
chase of free passage for the mails over
the railroads, from the heavy sums it now
pays them for mail transportation.” He
says, “liar remedy is to abolish the frank
ing privilege and make every thing cur
ried by mail pay tlie cost of transporta
tion. As to the railroads, we have never
doubted the power of tlie government to
use them for the transportation of the
mail, with or without the consent of their
owners, allowing them a fair sompensa
tion for that use. We have no idea that
a corporation road is more sacred than a
State road, or that the States can confer
on their citizens an immunity which they
do not themselves enjoy. Nor do we
concede that corporate property is a whit
more exempt from being tuKeu for public
uses than individual property. But the
press has not, as it ought, defended the
rights of the government and the people
in this respect ; and a large portion of it
while demanding a reduction of postages,
has sustained the railroads in ex
horbitunt demands for carrying the mails
which render a reduction impossible.”
Delicate Reply. —At a ball given
by the city of Paris to Napoleon, was
Madam Cordon. The Corscian, in gen
era 1 , was not very fond of people who
had become rich by any means but his
own favor. He had never seen Madame
Cordon, whose name even he had never
known before, but had been told that her
husband was possessed of great weal to.
He walked towards her with a peevish
sort of air, and said to her, abruptly—
“ Are you Madame Cordon'?”
She made a profound courtesy to the
question, and Bonaparte continued his
discourse—“ Are you very rich ?”
“Yes, sire,” she replied, “1 have ten
chi dreii.”
Napoleon, struck with the delicate
force of this reply, walked quickly away.
A Prompt -Reply.— An Arabian phi
losopher was once at a Court of a certain
King, who was as much distinguished
for Ins injustice as his despotism. The
King, agreeably to his character, was de
sirous of irritating the sage by some of
his insults. To this end lie positively
affirmed, that in the infernal regions was
u mill for grinding the heads of the
learned , and then demanded of the vene
rable philosopher if it were not so. He
in Ins turn, replied, with a firmness and
dignity worthy of the highest eulogiurn
—-‘Yes ! but it is the h ood of the tyrants
that makes the mill turn.”
Most of the public ball rooms in Paris
; have billiard saloons attached to them for
the practice of amateurs.
