"Now stand back, boys'' said Casey, sand see

"What do you want. sir?" screamed tho old

The editor Of the Chicago Democrat, who has
just been elected 10 Congress, is beginning to taste
some of the sweets of Office. In his last paper he
says:
"a charming young grass.wdow came into our
oihce one day last week, and repeated 10 usa long
story of matrimonial sufferings. the chief of which
was' that the husband she tenderly loved would not
stay at home but kept wandering about the coun.
try' and would not take her with him. She criod
most ptfully us she progressed in the history of hor
daiy wrongs. Finally, she wound up her lamen.
tatons by stating tha, the court would do nothing
Tor her, and the Legislature would do nothing fo,
her; and she had come to present her claims to
Congress. Upon telling her that Congress could
do nothing for her, she was astonished at our 10.
noraIce, as she had seen, almost overy winter ae.
counts Of bills introduced for the relief of several
ladies'; and it would be great relief 10 her to be
divorced, so that she could marry Il man that
would live at home. And the poor afflicted crea.
ture thought that President Tyler would not veto
the bill, five could only get it passed, as her hus.
band was the strongest kind of a Clay man.
"WeIl, this is getting into business very fast.
First, we have got to give all friends an Office
And, second, we have got 10 divorce all unhappy
couples. Eight dollars day is too chenp for such
work." ..

A Too Fond Wye.-Among the items Of late
foreign intelligence, our readers may remember
the mention Of the death ofn Mr.Aymer, a circus
vaulter. The North Adams (Mass.) Transcript
gives the following melancholy account of the eff.
feet Of the news upon his widow, who is n resi-.
dent of that town:
Mr.. Aymer formerly resided in this village, and
left here engaged in his profession about year
since. He has here, residing with her mother. a
beautiful and lovely wife of twenty, to whom the
intelligence Of his awful end was communicated
by means of the above extract on Friday last.
She read it, shed tear it. and burst into the
wild laugh Of the maniac. 1t was one of the most
heart-rending scenes the eye ever beheld, 10 look
upon the mental ruins of this beautiful female
to encounter that wild and frantic eye--and to lis.
ten to tho lncoherent and unmeaning conversation
OF one whose reason has stranded. On the Sab.
bath she nrrayed herself in her bridal dress, and
wandered over the fields pluckng aowers, and
decking herself with fantastic ornaments, pierc.
ing the car and the heart with her frantic calls
for her lover. Mrs. hymer buried her only child
IN New York the past summer, and is now veriIy
alone on the bleak waste of life, without a star
to guide her frail and shattered bark. and without
a beacon light to warn her of quisksands and
shoa!s.-Pic.

Great Gun-The New York Express SAYS tha,
Messrs. l.. B. Ward g. Co. Of that city are ham.
moring out IN immense gun, said to be the larges;
wrought iron gun in the world. 1t is fourteen
feet long, three feet in diameter at tho breech and
weighs thirty thousand pounds, or fifteen tons.
The Express adds:
1t is made for Government, and will be placed
on board the Princeton steamer, Cap:. Stockton,
now al Philadelphia. This extraordinary gun is
hammered out with hammer weighing fifteen
thousand pounds. The process of heating and
hammering such an immense shaft is wonderful.
The machinery for placing the gun in the fur.
mace, OF putting it on the anvil, turning, cutting
and hammaring, are so complete tina. i, is is moved
with precision and facility truly astonishing
Cast iron guns Of this size and larger, are fire..
quentIy made, but no attempt, we believe, has ev.
er before been made to make d gun of this
size from wrought iron. 1t is calculated iha, the
strength and power of this piece, when finished
will carry ball OF one third greater weight, and
one fourth increased distance, than tho best cast
iron gun. We have before given an account of u
steamboat shaft forged at this foundry, and it is
source OF satisfaction that we are no longer COM

which they are most effective in the cure of
which are as follows-yellow and bilious fe-
