did not push my claim?" "Atindin," says the Ad-
mral, 60 their own business to be sure"
Mr.. Stevenson was ookin after the hons and talkln
about ould Virginia and Rush-b0on TO every great
man he could see without thinkn OF the Smithsonian
legacy. Upon my veracity, was as mad as March

spapeens to the dlvl Putty way" says 10 myself
"to rate their masher and neglect the affairs OF the
nation. And so am not to be made secretary to the

"Its that same which graves me-" says Mister
Blair. "To be oblceged 10 give up slch thumPln

like Jonas, when he took walk out o the whales
belly aher bcn confined IN the same Tor three days.
Och by the powers, dlstressn sight IT was Mister
Bennett. But his excelIency, TO console him, gave
him his spache to print, and sent him OIL to recave
their honors Mister Dlckerson, Mister Woodbury. and
Mister Ponsett, the Secretaries.
