OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

Genius ruslIes like whirlwind-Talent

dances here and there. and every where,
like a butterfly in hurricane, striking eve

talent will attack theories-the clever man
will assail the individual and SANDER pri-

GEN. HOUSTON.

The trial upon the Indictment, which
was found against Gen. Houston, upon
the evidence Of Stanbery, was submitted
to the Court for decision, upon the tes,i-
mony taken before the House Of Repre-
sentatives. The Court argued most
learnedly to prove that in one act, double
offence was committed, and that, there
fore, the offender might be hcice put III
jeopardy, and punished penalty for the
improper use OF his cane on single oc-
casion. The Court adjudged fine Of
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS aud COSTS against
Gov. Houston.---It did not question the
right of the House of Representatives to
subject him to any punishment it chose
to inf flict, although there is no law to au-
thorize it that power resting upon mere
priUiltge. BY privihge, therefore, Gov.
Houston was punished for an assault up
on the dignity OF tho House as body;
aud by ia,c he was punished for his as
sault upon the body of William Stanbery,,
MS member of the House for the Court
expressly state, that they increased the
fine in consideration of the digniiied sta
,ion occupied by Mr.. Stanbery. l, is
then perfectly clear, ,lat Gov. Houston
was t,oice punished, for the indignity of
fered to tho House of Representatives.
As every body admits Siunbory deserved
the cbnsrisement he received for tho in-
suit offcrcd'to n citizen who had neve.
done any thing to provoke it; the excess
sive fine of $500, the Court were sen siblc,.
would only be justified upon the princi-
pie of vindIcaiing the wrong done the
House, in the person Of fStanbery. If
the same insult had been offered by one
private citizen to another, no jury would
have given verdict gilmore than. 500
on the Indictment. We trust this act of
the Court will satisfy Congress, that tho
Aristocraiic Judicial tribunal established
by it in this city, will not be wanting in,
visiting, with the sevcrest penalties, any,
citizen who may venture to. resent an in
suit offered to him by any member Of
the body, and that, therefore, they need
not violate the constitution by assuming
the power to punish for constructive
contempts. ..,.. 49,.

ANEcDorE OF GovEeNoR CHiTrENDEN.
-Thomas Chittenden was the first
Governor of the Slate of Vermont
Many pleasing anecdotes nrc related Of
him ''Mum," said he, Which was his ma
tural way ofaddressing lis lady, "who is
that stepping so softly IN the kitchen -
IT was midnight, and every soul in the
. house was locked in the arms of siccp,
but he and his companions. Ho left his
bed as easy rs he could, followed the
intruder into the cellar, without being
perceived, and heard him taking large
pieces of pork out of his meat barrel,
and slowing them away in bag.
"Who's there ~ said the Governor, in a
grum, stentorian voice, as the intruder
began to make preparations TO be off.
The latter shrunk back into corner, as
mute as dead man. Bring n candle,
num-" When the light was hnnded,
"what are you waiting for, Mr. Robber,
Thief, or whatever your name Isl SAID
he The fellow shook, as if his joints
would be sundered. "Come, Sir, fill
up your sack aud be off, aud not dis
turb honest people so often, when they
are wishing to take their repose." The
thief looked more frightened than before.
"Be quick, Gil up, ! shall have tut few
words with you" He was compelled 20
comply. "Hast thoa got enough, SIR
rah :! Begone then in n momeMl When
you have gornandized this, come in the
day Tins, and | will give you more ra-
ther than. have my house piihged at
such an hour as this. One thing I'll

as fate, if ever have the smallest rea-
son to suspect you Of another such act,
the law shall be put in force aud the
dungeon receive another occupant. 9th
erwse you may still run at large, for
any thing that I shall do.' The fellow
went away. and never afterwards was
known to commit an immoral deed.
Knitting ,oork.-.The ludies of New
England have, from time immemorial,
been distinguished for their industry
That no time may be lost, they take
their knitting work when they 90 Wis.,
ting, and both talk and knit at the
same time. This industrious DISPOSE
tion was, last winter, manifested at a
grammar school, taught byan acquain-
tance of ours. The young ladies
brought their knitting, lheir fingers flew
and .he needles clicked, necessarily,
while the teacher was lecturlpg.
He arrived at tho schoolroom be-
times, took his seat at shaving
horse, and was busily engaged in shaw
ing Shingles when the young ladies ar
rived. They were quite surprised at
this new movement, and knew not
whether they should retreat, or take
their seats
"Dont be alarmed, young ladies'"
said the teacher, who kept plying the
drawing knife "you see I'm an apt
scholar myself, and have merely caught
a little of your spirit Of industry. 1t
is pity that any time shouls be lost.
and us you have set the example of
learning grammar and knitting at the
same time, I have resolved to emulate
your industry by teaching geammar
and shaving shingles at the same ope
