In the course ol a speech in the

Knott, in favor of Uniting the President
to one term < f four veas, lie said :
The one a'l-sufficient rer.son for lim'o
iting elligibly t-> the Presidential office
to a single term is stated either directly
or inleteutially in every one of the ut,"
teranees to which I have called atten
tion. It is to be found, sir, in the nat
ural and almost inevitable inclination
of one in possession of an honorable
and lucrative otiiue to retain possession,
and iu the equally natural and proba
h!e disposition on his part under such a
temptation to make use of the tremen
dous appliances under his control to per
petnate his power. It has been many
and many a time remarked that an in
cuuibent of a good fat office seldom die:-,
and never resigns; and, sir, it is true
There is scarcely anything else within
the entire range of human affection
which under some circumstances may
not be surrendered with checefulness
Friends, home, country, and even life
itself may be given up without a mur
mur; but the disinterested patriot
once in possession of a good pa . ing pub
lic office hangs on to it with a grim de
terminating and a deathless constancy
that would have added a brighter halo
to the crown of a Christian martyr
[laughter] especially when his salary is
$50,000 a year ; when he is supplied
and maintained in a style of luxury of
which Lticullus himself never dreamed,
furnished, repaired, and heated at an
annual expense ok $25,000 ; where the
very air he breathes ts redolent with
the perfume of rare oxoties propagated
in a fifty i five thousand dollar green
house, maintained out of the public
Treasury, at £n expense of $5,000
per anum, [laughter]; an office in
which he has writing done hy a private
secretary on a salary of $2.5)0 a year,
with at) assistant secretary, $2,500 to and
the writing of the private secretary,
[laughter], and two clerks at $4,500 to
do the writing of the assistant secreta
ry, [renewed laughter]; where he has
a steward at $2,000 per annum to pur
vey for his table the clioisest wines and
the danties viands that can either tempt
or satiate appitife, and where he is al
lowed $6,000 a year for books, papers

Mormon Courtship.
On Saturday a Mormon by the name
of Fulmer, who had been chosen among
the faithful to go on a mission to Ar
izona called upon Brighaui Young.
“Married ?” queried the Prophet
“Not a’ y,” said Fulmer, o’er whose
brow forty odd years hau left their im
print.
‘Must marry, Brother Fulmer, before
you g) to Arizona to build up theKiud
dom.”
“Don’t know anybody who will have
me,” was the reply.
“ ’ll find someone.
“Do you kno> Brother Brown, in the
Seveieeuth Ward ? Well, lie has seve
ral daughters; you go to Brother Brown’s
and tell him 1 wan.? you to marry ( ne of
bis daughters.”
Fulmer left and obeyed counsel to
the letter. Knocking at the door he
was admitted by Brother Brown, who,
upon learning what was wanted, call, and
i . several daughters to be selected
from. Fulmer taking his choice Brown
to’d the girl to get ready in fifteen min
utes. I’ll do asyousay, dad,” was her
tncelc reply, as she walked out.
“that’s the way I raise my daught
ers; if they disobey, there’s war in

Hilling of JLisicoln.
On A r ril 14th, 1865, when victory
crowned the Union Armies, the theatre
in Washington was filled to overflowin ,
with exultant officers, citizens, and la
- while music and flowers, brilliant
lights flashed and happiness reigned.—
President Lincoln "and wife were seated
in a large stage bex in the second tier,
two boxes thrown into,one draped in
tile national flag. The { lav on the
stage was in the second part.
Through the general hum ,following
the stage pause, with the change ol' po
sitions. etc., came the muffled sound of
a pistol shot, which rot a hundredth
part of the audienoe heard at the time
—and yet a moment’s hush—some how.
surely a vague, startled thrill—and then
through the ornamented,draperied, star
red and stripped of the Pres
ideut’s box, a sudden figure, a man
‘raise* himself with hands and feet,
stands a moment on the railing, leaps
below to the stage (a distance of per
haps f urteen or fifteen feet).* falls out
of position, catching his-hoot-heel in th
copious draperp, (the American flag

(he really spria.,s his angle. huS un
felt then,) and so the figure, Booth the
murderer, dressed in plain black broad
cloth. bare headed, with a fud head of
glossy raven hair, and his eyes like
some mad animal's, flashing with light
and resolution, yet with certrin strange
calmness, holds aloft in one hand a
large knife—wa'ks along not much back
rout the footlights—turns fully toward
the audience his face of statuesque
beauty, lit by those basilisk eyes, flash
i~g with desperation,-perhaps with i-n
sanity—launches out in a firm and
steady voice u sic semper fyrannis !
Virginia is avenged !” And then walks
with neither slow nor very rapid pace
diagonally across to the back of the
stage, and disapreais

was confusion ana horror.
E3e £Buis a fas?,
A man with a bad looking nose and
a melancholly appea ance generally, en
tered Justice Potter’s office the other
day, aid slamming a paper down on the
desk, he exclaimed :
“I submit the docs and demand a di
vorce !”
h he court looked at him in a puzzled
way, and the stranger continued :
“ Hump the papers together ui'ghtv
quick, for she's out after a dray to move
the furniture !”
“i can’t give you a divorce,” said hi
Honor.
“Here’s the cash down, mister 1” said
the stranger, puling out a small tin box
full ol shin; lusters, “and heie's charges
that will make your blood run cold !”
He was instructed as to what steps he
must take, and in his excitement and
confus : cn, he went away leaving the
“docs” on the desk. The charges read
as follows :
1. Pulling hair, jawing and kicking
UlO.
2. More pulling hair.
3. Kicked me Christmas Day, and I
can prove it.
4. Tried to pisen me, and then jawed
around.
5 Sitting ’own cellar a reading dime
novels, and then striking me when I
talked to her like a father.
7. Teasing me to take her to a circus,
and then getting mad and ruining a
mighty good dish-pun:
7. Jawing, kicking, fighting, cussing,
threatening, making up faces and de
manding ui ne-y to buy ice-cream and
candy for her darned old reiashuns.—
And so fourth to wit, and a good many
other things which I can prove
straighter'n a string. Gentlemen,

TLe Young Lawyer.
i he tie which bound a Detroit youth
to a lawyer s office was severed \estei
day, and his pa ents were happy.* They
w aited the boy to make a great lawyer,
mt he was ge ting along too fast. IT
pursued his stu ties with an ardor that
• ist a judicial shadow over the house*
uold. and created considerable neighbor
hood talk. He got trusted for candy
and repud ated the bill on the ground
that he was a minor. He bought a duy
m l went into bankruptcy. He borrow
ed a pa;r of skates and defied the owner
to get out a writ of replevin. Le bor
rowe i fifty cents, and then made tin
lender his assignee.
Rut the worst of it was in the fami
ly- He had a legal name for almost ev
erything, and his desire was to prove,
to his parents thrt he w s just absorb
ing dead bads of law. If he wanted a.
potato at the dinner table he would re
mark :
“lather, file my claim against, that
h iked potato and I’ll j rove the indebt
aln ss t.tis afternoon.”
I he wanted bre;d he said: “ Moth
-f. gof nie out a writ of attchuienct
for a piece of bread.”
It /■as expected of him that he would
build the morning fires, but no sooner
h and he gained an indght into law than
he said to his father:
“ I’m goning to move for a change
•fvenue unless some other arrangement
is made.”
He moved for a stay of proceedings
when asked to go to the grocery, and
tf chided for being out nights he repli
ed :
“File your declaration and give me
a chance for a jury trial.
When lie was in good humor he
won Id sit an 3 ieale his mother with
■Tories about how Old Chancery was
going up town one night and met Old
Equity and asked him how Decree was
getting akmgOld Pleading and Excep
'ions came along just then, and then.-
was a big fight and young lawyer would
slap nis leg and add*
“If Indictment had unly been theta
he’d whaled the whole crowd !”
The other day the long-suffering fa
therserved the tie. He was trying to
bear up, Imping fin* reform but as he
sat down to the tea table his son bright
ened up and remarked:
“ fhe defendant will now take the
stand and be sworn. Now, sir. did
you or did you n >t, come ou', of a Gris
wold sUeet saloon at 11 o'clock this
morning, wiping your mouth on the
back of your ha: and ? Tell the jury all
about it. sir !”
It was a little too much, and the boy
and icsnt’t study law any more. He plays

We picked up on a pew in church
the other uight something that only a
b>y could h ire concocted. It was a
very simple tiling, yet it was a very
simple thing that a man coming in con
tact with, might discourse of in
“thoughts that breathe and words that
barn.” It was nothing but an eight
ounce tack driven through a small piece
of wood to make it set up strong. As
we held it in our hand and enuteuipli*

to a boy ourselves, as the iudicrosity of'

We coal 1 see him after he had deposit

where lie could command his operations,
looking as meek and innocent as a lamb,
until the church began to fill up rapid

came into the pew and crowded the

and stood up quickly; then sat down
again, and got up quick r than before

looked eagerly to her, with his whole
soul quivering in his eyes.

into the burning eves. “Yes, yes, a

ireu covered by the exhibition bui’d
