Mine Finck and the Bull.
The story of Mike Finck and Lie bull Wouh
iake a cynic laugh. Mike took a notion togi
i swimming, and had just got his clothes of
lien he saw Deacon 'tnith’s bull making at
im—the bull was a ferocious anima), and ha
une near killing two or three persons—eon
•queiitly Mike felt rather “jubus.” He did
t want to call for help, for he was naked
nd the nearest place from where assistance
■mid arrive, was the meeting Louse, which
as at the time tilled with worshippers, amtin.
horn wrr the “ gal Mike was paying his de
ours to.” So he dodged the bull as hecann
■ him, and managed to catch him by the tail
le was dragged round till nearly dead, am
hen he thought he could hold no longer, tn
■ade up bis mind he had better “ holler.”—
knd now we will let him tell his own story.
So looking at the matter in all its hearings
' cum to the conclusion that I’d better let
ome one know wliar I was. So I gin a yel
onder than a locomotive whistle, and it war
I't long before 1 seed the deacon’s two dogs :
tuning down like as if they was seeing which
•ouhl get thar fust. I know’d who they were
rter —they'd jine the bull agin me, I was sar
ain. for they were orful wenomons, and had a
pite agin me. So says I. old brindle, as ri iiu
s as cheap as walkin on this route, if you've
hi objections. I’ll jest take a deck passage on
hat ar back o' yourn. So I wasn’t very ]»ng
letting astride of him ; then if you'll bin tt ar.
on'd have sworn thar warn’t nothing human
n that ar mix, the sile flew so orfully as the
ritter and I rol.ed round the field—one dog
m one side and one on the tother, trvin’ to
•linch my feet. I prayed and cussed, and cuss
<l and prayed, until I couldn’t tell which I
did last—and neither warn’t of no rise, they
were so orfully mixed up.
Well. I Reckon I rid half an hour this
vay, when old brindle thought it were time to
top take in a supply of wind, and cool off a
ittle. So when we got round to a tree that
stood thar, he naturally halted. So sez I. old
•oy you’ll lose one passenger sartain. So I
ii«t clum up a branch, kalkalatin to roost thar
'ill I starved afore I'd be rid round that ar way
any longer. I war making tracks for the top
of the tree, when I hearn sumtliin a making an
rul bnzzin overbed. I kinder looked up. and
t thar warn’t—well, thar’s no use a swearing
--bnt it war the biggest hornet's nest ever
’■ilt. Ynnll “gin in” now. I rurl-on. Mike*
’nsn«e there’s no hpln for yon. Bnt an idea
struck me then thntTsto <1 heap better rhnn'-o
-• riding the hnll than whnr I was. Sez 1 oIA
teller if vnu’ll hold on. I* 1 ! riJe to the next
station nnvhow let that he whar it will.
Sn 1 ii«t dropped nhoard him a"in. and look.
•»d aloft to see what 1 had <mined hv chan"in
quarters, and gentlemen. T'm a liar if thnr
warn’t nitrh half a bushel of the sfinirinir va»*
mints readv to piteh into me when the w- rd
go” was gin. Well. T reckon thov got it.
'nr nil hands started for nnr company. Some
■>ne ’em bit the dorrs—about a quarter struck
me. and the rest chari’eil on brindle.
This time the dogs led off fust, detvtl bent
'nr the deacon’s, and as soon a» old brindle
-itid I conld get under way we followed, as T
••as onlv a deck pnssenger. and bad n-nthin to
’o with steerin’ the craft. I swear, if T had. we
bonldn't have run that channel anyhow. Bnt.
■is I said before, the docs took the lead—hrin
”e and I next, and the hornets dre’klv arter.
The dogs vellin—brindle bellerin. and the hor
nets bnzzin and stinirin.
Well, we had got about two hundred yard«
'rum the house, and the deaeon heard ns and
•nm ont. I seed him hold np his ha»ds and
♦nrn white. I reckon he was pinyin then, for
he didn’t expact to he called for so soon, and It
warn’t long neither, afore the whole eongre
’ation—men. women and children—enm ont.
■ind then all hands went to yellin’. None of
•hem had the fust notion that brindle and I be
■ngedtothis world. I fist turned my head and
■assed the hull congregation. I seed the run
vonld be up soon, for brindle couldn’t turn :.n
'nch from a fence that stood dead ahead.—
Well, we reached that f nee, and I want ashore
■ver the old critter’s head, landin’ on tother
•ide. and lay thar stnnned.
It wasn't long afore some of’em as was not
eared, cutn runnin to see what I war, for
.11 hands kalkelated that the ball and I be
• ■nged together. Bnt when brindle walked off
■y himself, they seed how it war, and one of
'em sed, “ Mike Finck has got tlie wurt of a
scrummage once in his life.’ Gentlemen, from j
•hat day I dropped the courtin biznes; and !
never spoke to a gid since, and when my hunt
is up on this yearth, there won’t be any more
e’incks, and its all owin to Deacon Smith’s Old
Irindle Bull.
Romance of the I.ast Island Calamity.
A New Orleans correspondent of the St.
Louis Republican, tells the following story :
A story, strange and romantic enough to
-eem the invention of an imaginative mind, be- ■
ame known recently to a few persons in this !
•itv; yet however romantic or strange it may ;
sound, the gentleman who communicated it to !
ue assured me of its absolute truth, and gave .
ne the names of the parties connected with the i
affair. At the time when that terrible catas- ’
trophe occurred at Lust Island, off the South- j
era coast of Louisiai a, by which so many un
ortunate people were swept bodily into the
iulf by the raging tempest, or overtaken and
Irowned bv the rising flood that overwhelmed
the low, sandy key, a middle-aged gentleman
md his family, consisting of u wife and two
tr three children, were involved in the calami
ty.
In the midst of the thick gloom, the storm,
he confusion and terror of the scene, the
tentleman became separated from his little
family and barely escaped with his life. The
e-nir and distress of the poor man at the sud
ien loss of his dear ones may be imagined by
those who love their own wives and children.
For several days his friends feared that his 1
.cental sufferings would deprive him of reason,
undone o‘ them kindly invited hiinto make his
■i ,me at his bouse in New Orleans, for a time.
Hoping that ho would gradually come to Ls>k
iiii ro calmly upon the miss >rtuno that had be
‘sllen him.
Il happened tlml with the family in which
ha thus became duntMLceiml was living a young
•nd lady, of Ina par*n and man
wb«. be»ing oompamiee upoo tba sS'ei-
I ad auaegar. tuvh berseU Urn pe/M duty
f doing everything in her power to allevia'
lis sorrows and make him forget the past. Siu
flayed and sang for him. rend to him, rod
vith him. and finally laughed and joked wit’
lira—so fleeting and transitory are the grea
•st of human griefs when brought under th
-ifluence of the enjoyments and delights <
life.
In brief, she carried her consolations so fa
•hat the gentleman became enamored, infatur
ted, and offered her his hand and fortune.—
Whether she reciprocated his passion, or whetl
tr the fact that she was a poor school teaehe
md he a wealthy planter, influenced her di
•ision upon his proposition, is not a quest!'
aroper to be considered here. Suffice it to sa
that she aocepted hisi ffer, stipulating that, on
■f due respv’ct to public opinion, a year mu
elapse before their union should be consumma
red. As time passed on preparations for i
magnificent wedding proceeded. The gentle
man purchased a splcnd d trousseau, laid on
his plans for a bridal tour, and for their sub
<equent domestic sett ement, and, in fact, every
thing went on swimmingly until near the dost
if his term of probation. The event of a sit .
gle day in this case, as in thousands of other
served to destroy in an instant his matrimonia
schemes, though whether his subsequent peace
of mind anil hanpiness were not promote'
thereby is a question. A short time previou
to the day assigned for his wedding, he receiv
cd a letter from his wife—still in the flesh—
Jated from Rio de Janeiro, informing him tha

The Schoolmaster’s Promise.
A -orrespondent of the Gernian'own Teb
graph tells the following anecdote of his ol
schoolmaster, “ Old Haskins
“Boys,” said he, smilingly one day.
What’s up, thought we. and we were all n
tention. It was like a sun-peep through ■
heavy storm-cloud when “ Haskins” smile
and the phenomenon was unaccountable.
“ Boys.” said he, “ I am about to barga - '
with you for good behavior ;” (a change of tae
tics, verily) “I desire that you will condu
yourselves with decorum for one week, and
will promise to show you a curiosity—what n
man ever saw; and, having shown it to you
what no man will ever see again.”
“ Yes, sir 1”—“ Agreed “I’vi, sir!” an
various other expressions of acquiescence cam
from every quarter of the room ; and as a pre
sage to the new state of things, the school wa
dismissed at an early hour, leaving the boy
to gaze into eacli other's eyes in astonishmei
as if to divine in each other’s intuition the a
swer to the riddle which had stolen uponthei
is a pleasant dream.
An anxious week followed—a week of cur
osity, bewilderment, hope and pleasure in eu
b yo. Out of school it was all the tulk
“ What no man ever saw, and what no ma
shall ever see again !—not even the terribb
author of the compromise. What eould it be
Another and another day, until at last th
identical named one dawned upon the gla<!
i dened young hearts.
Nine o’clock came—every urchin was at hi
post—books and slates all in readiness for tl
day’s battle with the demon of darkness an<
ignorance—every task fully committed to mem
ory. Altogether a charming state of affairs
An active mind, not wedded too closely to or
thodox ideas, would have divined at once th.
great advantage of rewardsand kindness, ove
oppression and cruelty. But our old tutor wa
invincible. Unmake him? Never. Youcouli
not alter his plans an iota.
i “ Tingle ! Tingle !’’ sounded the little bell—
tliat bell liad :•■ voice as well as a tongue.—
. Boys all attention ! eyes, ears, mouth agape
i momentous epoch!
I Old Hawkins raised the lid of his desk, am
1 drew the wonderful thing forth—adjusted hi
i ominous looking spectacles astraddle his nasi,
projection, and proceeded to the solemn cere
in-my.
“ Attention, school 1” roared the tutor.
A single order was all tha' was necessary—
you might have heard a pin drop.
*• The hour has at length arrived ; behold ii
my upraised fingers a single almond." (terr
! ble suspense!) “In this almond is a kernel
—ceremoniously breaks the shell and expose
the tiny thing. “ fhis. no m m ever saw !”
Then onening hi- capacious jaws, excising a
internal array of decaying ivory and rawflesl
that reminded us of the mouth ot a Bengal ti

ratified that our eyes have been so delighted
t the sight of such a substantial proof of the
■ble generosity and spirit evinced by our Cal

'tich results must be truly encouraging to the

A Novelty in “Snobdom.”—We find tl <

Among the novelties of snobism is the four

vith two seats, intended to h Id four person
erched high up in the air, with a back to tLi
eats four inches high, running all over witl
rinoline, holding two youngsters with care
>lored beards, and a short crop at that, witl
four horses, (st'ge fashion) attached, and driv
i by said youngsters, may be seen daily ii
he Fifth Avenue and on the upper part o
Broadway. The horses are not matebed it

I right of the S >uth and t e duty of Congres
to see to it that the slave-holding inhabitant
of a Territory be protected there in the own
I er.bip of that property. The like views, i
my humbler measure of ability, if I hav an.'
have been expressed prettv fr.ely am] tn
qnently in the newspapers in this city an
Richmond, since the pas-age of the Kama
Bill in 1854. I do m t propose in this brie
letter to gu over the grounds on » Inch we re
■y to show that it is within the Coiigressioim
competency to so intervene during the territo

it is exjiedient (1 hate that word) to claim th

to offer a few sentences with reference lu eac
i f those dispntid points in what is called “th
s nvery agitation.” It is so culled, the peopb
being tired of that agitation, to divert atten
tion from the discussion ot the great principle
o' constitutional power nnd duty ; and it is ~
•ailed by those who having sacrificed th
rights o! the South, very naturally desire t<
I -scape any exposure of their Ifluii'lel'S. Ihe
cry out. do not rc open that agitation. It is
' arfnl thing to doit. They seem to 1,-r_» t

■hat it ought at once to be seen by all that such
is the cause ot there being no unfriendly legis

ies. it seems to me tliat it might to be seen
■ v all at a s'ngle glance, that is not likely that
here ever w ill be, so long as the existing doe
rines preva'l, any tints disturbing shivery put

li.inks can the South justly give to those who
!ms urge that there is no occasion for yxercis

' fie right to d.o it was relinquished by the act
rgaiiizing those Teiritories. Noli-iuterveli
t on is the law, (.v liieli we would have repeal,

tureahave not now the power to pass laws

ee the want of wisdom in the Smith in not in
sisting on the doctrine of intervention to a
more efficient extent. In that expedient inac
tion, we cannot fail, it seems to me. to see that it
the -oiltli would imiiutaiu a respectable stand
ing in the Union, as to her right of slavery -
extension into the Territories, she should
) claim, "lid persist in it. that Congress has no
I right to admit States coming from the Terriio
! i ial condition and whicli I y their proposed
■ Constitution provide for 'he exclusion of sla-
I v r■.
1 thus come to consider a little while, the
i other dispute as to the extent, as to time, of the
| existence of the povverof Congres to intervene.
I It umy be first remarked, that there are those ol
i little eminence either, n r small amount ofgu
| gacity, who maintain by unanswerable argu
men s that Congress may intervene during the
territorial condition, but may not. when in tin
ict of a luiitting the State. It is astonishing
that they do not ace the territorial condition is
not ended, until the State is fully admitted by
Bill passed by Congress ami approved by the
•rc-ideiit. It seems to me that if they w uld
•■'iisitler that fact in its inseparable connoc
ti ms, this dispute or variance oi opinion «•■ old
be ended. It is to that extent that 1 have been
wont to claim in'enen ion. Congress ami the
President should iuteneue and let li t Stale, as
long »s ih'-y or he can stand upagainst it, come
tn with a constitution excluding slavery. It
there are any slaves there, after the State is
n linitte-1, then the re» >rt of tht-jr unsteis
I agu 0"t intervention, must lie to the c uri» ;

t is most surprising that this is disputed I
ny who claim it from the time the territory
•gantzed up to the time its constitution f
Iniission as a State is formed. They mai
tin that interference with slavery, by a terr

r - tilling the hist function respecting th" le
'torial people, pusses my comprehension. 1
< becau e the territorial people are subject •
hose provisions, say they, in their pupilag'

tage, only, any less subject to those provi<ioi
■'■hich apply to this more near approach to
ac. If it be so, I confess io ignorance, -c.

Treasurer of the Tennessee and Mississippi
eilroad. informs us of a recent occurrence, il
lustrative of the happy influence exercised
o'er the laity by the confessional of the Cadi

he road several months since, by some means
■ windled the company out of a sum of money.
Re'urning soon after to Ireland, he betrayed
h s crime at the confessional. The confessor
tequ red him to make restitution, which hedid
a’ once, by tian-mitting a bill ■ f exchange for

What is .Yeerrchai'M I— ln the Island of
N'egropont and Samos, in the Archipelago, a
leculinr variety of magnesia is found on the
•oast. lienenth a thin strata of earth. When
'rst obtained, it resembles the foam or froth of
he sea. and hence is termed meerschaum by
he Germans while the French style it ect/me
Ie tner. Analysis proves that it is composed of
magnesia, carbonic acid, water and about four
•er cent of silex. The idea, so common in
his country, that meerschaum is the foam of
he sea, origina'ed in the resemblance referred
... and also to the old fashion of calling mcer
cliaum p : pes “sea-f< am pipes.”
When first dug from the earth, the rnagne
ite is soft, and easily moulded into any shape
hnt fatiey may dictate. In this eondiliun it is
•rmed into pipes and cigar holders, and ex
r sed to the action of the air until it hardens,
lefi.re being boiled in wax or oil, it i- nearly
is light as pith, and full of minute pores,
hrough which a pin or knife may be stuck,
vith m more damage than the same operation
•erformed on a fine sponge. The pipes arc
• filed in wax or oil, in order to give them n
lish. as w ell as to render them more durable;
•ut smoking soon burns out the oleaginous se
retions, and the “oil of smoke” sinks into the
lores gradually until the outer surface is col
ied.—Neir York Sunday Mercury.

State Aid Convention.
We see that the friends of State aid have
' ailed a convention, which is to meet in Atlan

would suggest to our friends in Pulaski and
and the adjoining counties, the propriety of
iking steps for representations in that body.
. This is an important question, and one that ba*
igitated the country to a considerable extent
r the last several years: nnd one too, in
’ ■ which we of the lower part of Georgia have a
• leep interest; and it may be that the meeting
f the friends of the measure in convention n
