THE AMERICANS.

III the Versatility OF American cha
racter is remarkable, the opportunities
for its display ere commemorate. One
man plays many parts. and il often hap
pens that he plays them well. Twoex.
traordInsry instances are now before US.
Ajourneyman Printer, brought up in
the Office Of Mr.. Poulson. OF Philadel-
phia. found the field in which he moved
too narrow for his ambition, and on
coming Of age, he turned stage driver,
and afterwards pediar. He next be-
came school-master in New Jersey. and
subsequently figured as the captain OF
Duck river sloop; this latter occupa-
ton soon lost the charm OF novelty. and
he resumed his occupation at the Press.
In 1884. he was officiating in Virginia
as Methodist Minister, and alieTw ards
gave lessons in Penmanship aud Poo
aah painting in Piitsburg-prsetised the
Thompsonisn system OF medicine nj
Guernsey, Ohio-edited a paper in
Kentueky-super;ntended a Female
Seminary al Louisville-and finally
settled down as a farmer. We next
find him figuring in the Legislature Of
Tennessee. and mouthing the usual po-
litical topics.
Printers are remarkable for their YER
saiility. Edwin Forrest was originally
typo, and lett the composing stick for
the buskin and iruncheon. But our
next instance is even more remark able.
Judge Lewis, Of Lycoming. Penn,
one OF our most distinguished iurists,
so late as 1917. was a iourneyman
Printer on the N. Y. Daily Advertiser;
he afterwards returned 10 Lycoming-
established village paper. which he
edited with spirit and talent studied
law during his heurs Of leIsurc-came
10 the Bar-grapp!ed successfully with
every obstacle, and fought his way To
distinction. He was elected 10 the Le-
gislature-became Attorney General Of
Pennsylvania, and from that office was
appointed PresiLen: Judge OF the Court
of Common Pleas. His talents are Of
an unusual order, il is true, but his ca
reer is sufficient example 10 stimu-

MR.. WEBSTER ANp the LAsr WAR.


MR. WEBSTER AND THE LAST WAR
-oas of The most prominent charges which
has been urged against Daniel Webster. BY
his political enemies. for series Of years,
Is. that he vas opposed TO the last War. The
charge has been 80 repeatedly made, and put
forth with such confidence, that even many 81
believe Il. Now, hear how That gentleman
himself puts the story down. During the late
sub-Treasury debate in the Senate. AIR. Cal
houn thought proper to sllude TO this charge
against Mr.. Webster. 10 reply, Mr.. w. said
The remarks Of the Senator from
South Carolina. in his mere passing al.
fusion 20 him in connection with the
War, were made from no motive al all.
or they were made for the purpose Of
impeaching his patriotism. Sir. said
MIR. Webster. in his strong and mighty
voice. put the Senator upon his re &.
sponsibiliiy-l defy him 10 say when
and where. and how. and with whom,
aud TO whom. put him upon his re.
sPonsibility 10 lay his finger upon any
act Of mine which will warrant him IN
saying that ! was an enemy to the War.
When the war broke out. said Mr..
Webster. l was closeied with judges
and Jurors-lawyers, plaintiffs, defend
ants-wiih Johnny Roe versus Doe
| was not public man. Twas in no
public assembly. had no power"
MIR. Webster then examined his own
course during the War. and said that
"since the war the whole country had
been ransacked TO prove that he was an
enemy 10 the War Every speech,
every public letter, every expression OF
opinion. all that he had written and all
that had been published had been con-
jured up and scanned 10 make good a
false charge against HIM. A regular
search vas made for five successive
years to prove the allegation. and the
result Of all this labor was, that a gen.
tleman who had lived formerly in New
Hampshire, but who had removed 20
the extreme Of New York, had in his
possession letter from me. This let
ter was brought 10 Washington, and
solemn conclave here assembled 10 de.
liberate over il, and The result Of that
deliberation. was, that il was there voted
that If nothing more than this letter can
be brought against Ma. Webster, it was
best not TO publish that letter"
