ANECpoTE OF John RANDOLPH.

J. q. Whittier, editor OF the Essex Ga
zet,e, relates the following interesting anec-
dote Of the eccentric John Randolph:
Randolph eccentric and passionate a.
broad was uniformly kind and generous al
home His slaves loved him with the strong
est affection The return of 'Massa Ran
dolph' from Congress was always greeted
with the utmost demonstrations OF JOY. A
slave trader once called on Randolph, and
not making known his purposes, was invi,-
ed 10 dine with him. AT dinner the trader
glanced round upon the servant in attend
ance, enqured his price of Randolph, IN
forming him at the same time that he was
engaged in the slave trade. 1t happened
that the slave in question was one OF Ran
doph's hvorite servants. The enragcd Vlr-
einian sprang from his table, and shook his
skeleton finger furiously at the soul driver
Leave my house, sir leave it instantly
Am to be insuled at my own table The
wretched slave trader saw that he had no
time to lose He fed from the house and
mounted his horse. Randolph called hastl-
" for his horse, and seizing his pistols set
off in full chase after him. The dealer IN
human flesh looked back and saw the skele-
ton figure of Roanoke, like death on the
pale horse, close behind him. of Of my
ground you rascall' screamed Randolph in
his shrilest tones leveling his pistol full al
the head of his afIrighted guest The fellow
plunged his spurs into the horse and rode
for his life over fence and brush, hill and hol'
low, until he had left behind him the terri
tory Of the Lord Of Roanoke

he sat down 10 table with several hundred,
among whom were some political opponents,
and the very next week the White men had
two dinners, each as lage as the Presidents
1t is so in every county of the State. The
Van Buren, men would eat half an OK. two
sheep, and drove OF hens, and before they
could well digest this political inhurnalion
the White men would have swallowed a

A uery simple and very g6cacious remedy
"A gentleman was coming TO this city
from ". York, some days ago when he hap
penedto get spark from the locomotive in.
TO his eye. He tried various means TO re-
move it, but all to no purpose; the spark re-
manned in his eye, and gave him very great
pain. Coming on board the steamboat OF
Burlington, such was the pain he suffered
that the accident became known TO the pas
sengcrs generally, and finally renched the
ears Of the Engineer of the boat, who TAX.
ing horse hair with him. went TO the cab
in, and sought the sufferer. "Are you the
gentleman, said he, "who has got spark
IN your eyeW being answered in the afr
NATIVE, swell ! am the man that can take il
out" whereupon he simply formed kind
Of loop Of the horse hair by bending il "a.
round and bringing the two ends together,
when raising the lid and inserting the loop
between il and the ball, and then letting the
lid fall again he drew the hair out, aud with
il the little cause Of the great pain. The
gentlemau was at once relieved This is
very simple way Of removing whatever may
have got into the eye. and il will be well for
every body TO remember it-Phila paper.

White was not long ago, well conducted
prosperous and respectable man as anv in
his station of life in this city, and was bring.
ing up his family in such moral and in
dustrious way as promised to make them a
credit to himself and useful to society. Tn.
fortunately however he formed a criminal
attachment to young English girl, not
nineteen years Of age, named Mary Anne
Bilboiough, whom he took to live with him,
and abandoned his wife, and discontinued to
support his family. This, his first filling
of from virtue caused him to be prosecuted,
and he narrowly escaped being sent to pris.

The consequent loss of character and conf
dence of his employers, which his immoral
conduct entaled on him, blasted all his pros.
poets in New York, and he went to Phia-
delphia, accompanied by the unfortunate girl,
by running whom he had ruined himself
They had not remained very long in that
city when they decamped from their board

the amount of above eighty dollars, with

however Immediately pursued, and on Sat.
urday they were both taken into custody,
and some of the property found in their pos
session. Their guilty loves were now at an

was rent assundcr, and each looked on the
other only as the cause Of their crime, and
its prospective punishment, and, when exam
ined at the Police Office, empbatically de.
nounced the other as the sole criminal in the
transaction. The man positively denied
having had any share in the robbery or any
knowledge Of it until after it was perPetrat-
ed, and the girl us positively declared that
she never would have even participated in
it but for the advice and influence of heI
