ANECDOTE.

Near Canton, in the suburbs OF Baltimore,
there are few squares Of neat brick houses, pref
tily finished. Here the windows, doors, and
side walks were lined. While the cries Of "hur.
rah for Clay and Frelinghuysen," were sent up
from the curbstone, waving handkerchiefs and
smiles marked the windows. Here the cars
paused minute, as it was difficult to overcome
the high grade with such load, and we all had a
better chance OF looking out upon the people.
We noticed in one small, but neatly furnished
house, that no one occupied either the lower
windows or the door, and we thought it probable
that Locoloco lived there. At length we saw
handsome young woman Fastening to the window
to wave her handkerchief. She was suddenly
intercepted by young man, who showed her
back. Just then a middle aged lady was seen
running 10 the open front door to swing her
handkerchief from her, and showed her back.
Meantime the young woman was coming for,
ward again, but she was again stopped by the
youth. And this was repeated many times, to
the great delight Of the passengers in one Of the
cars Just in front OF the house. At length the
young woman sprang to the window, the young
man was not quick enough 10 prevent her, but he
turnd short upon the other female, who, not
liking this interference, seized the youth by the
collar, and placing her knee against his back,
gave him shove that landed him fiat upon the
side walk. The good woman then swung aloft
her kerchief at the door and shouted "hurrah for
Clay"-''and Frelinghuysen," said the more DEL
icate voice ct the window, while thunders Of
huzzas rose from the delegates and the band
poured out the strain OF "clesr the way for Old
Kentucky" and the cars went on.

From the Richmond Wing.
IR. WALKER OF MISSISSIPPI.

MN. " hLhEh Of MlcSlSSlItI.
In any other country than this and even in
this at any time antecedent to the present, the
interference of men, VIGOROUSLY interested in po-
litical movements would bring public ndigna,
ton in shower upon their heads. At present,
however, it is looked upon as laudable exercise
of an undoubted right.
The gentleman whose name heads this article,
has been accused before now OF possessing q
large interest in Texas. He has denied the
charge, and for be it from US to reterate it. But
as the mere fact Of our having copied the article
conveying the accusation, has brought upon US
the abuse OF Loco Foco prints, and as we might
be presumed to speak without authority, agains'
an innocent man, we give an extract from the
Vicksburg Wing, by way OF showing the belief
entertained upon that subject in his own coun.
try. We mean to bring no charge against Mr..
Walker; he may be for aught we know as pure
as an angel Of light; but we do mean to show,
that if we erred in introducing the charge alluded
to into our columns, we at least erred with men
men who have far better means OF information
than we pretend to:
1.-THE next advocate and champion OF annexa,
ton who figures conspcuously before the world,
is Mr.. Robert J. Walker. the nominal Senator
from Mississippi, though from his long letter on
Texas, one would suppose he represented Car
roll county, Kentucky. With this gentleman
we intend to deal fairly, and charge him with
nothing but what is founded upon The strongest
circumstances.
The Loco Foco press in this State assert for
Mr.. Walker, that he has no interest "directly OF
indirectly, in Texas" Whether or not, Mr.
Walker made this assertion himself, we are moi
able to say. but OF one thing we are certain, that
in the years of 1878, he, Mr.. Walker, pub
lcly claimed the ownership OF large amount OIL
land in what was then known as Powers Grant,
in Texas. This land he frequently offered for
sale, and there are gentlemen now in this city
who will state that Mt Walker offered to sell
any portion OF this land to them. The quantity
We have heard vsriously stated, sometimes as
high as los 900 acres. friend informs MS thai
the quantity was 1OO, 900. Now, il Nh, Walker
has since that time been able TO dispose Of Thu
immense tract Of country, he has certainly beer
more fortunate in that than he has been in dispos
ing OF his wild lands on the Mississippi river.
at is well known to every man conversau
with the monetary affairs of the United States
and Texas, since the year 1888, that there wa
but little probability that any capitalist woult
invest his money in Texas lands during that pc
Rod; and If Mr., Walker ever had the qnantit,

The Last will and Testament
OF
JAMES X. POLK.

In the name of the DemOcrdcy-Amen!
|, JAMES K. Polk, Of the town Of Columbia,
and State OF Tennessee, being OF lawful age, as
my gray hairs do show, being diseased in body,
and perplexed in mind-in so much that my
"bodily presence has become "weak, and my
"speech contemplate in the estimation Of my
countrymen, and expecting to die in November
1914, and then 10 be formally and forever buried,
do make and ordain this, my last will and testa-
ment.
ITEM list. Having no "little ones" OF my
own, and never having had any talent in that
line OF business" my will is to leave my effects
to my friends. My will is not to do much for
my godfather, A. Jackson, although he has done
much for me. For all this, however, am under
no serious obligations 10 him, because he acted
more from passion than principle, and more
from a hatred OF John Bell, than lore for me.
Besides, all obligation ceases, when it is under
stood that my cunning overcame his weakness.
He too is not long for this world, having ex-
posed himself to the inclemency Of the weather,
in 1910, by going in the Western District to
eectioneer for our cause, and having afterwards
had to take large portions of hard cider, to re.
duce him, the remedy is about to prove fatal.
My will is that We meet at the ''hatter's shop, -
and talk matters over!
ITEM I'd. My Will is that Martin Van bu.
rem be given over to "hardness Of heart and
reprobacy Of mind" and that he be permitted
to work out his ruin with greediness, because he
has twice been load on my shoulders, "to intol.
cradle to be borne," or got along with.
ITEM Sd. As to my old friend General Cas-
will and bequeath 10 him the nomination o
the State Convention OF Tennessee, in Novem
Der next, for the Presidency-not that believe
there is any possibility Of his election, but as
rebuke to Messrs. Van Buren, and Calhoun, fo
attempting to force themselves on "the party,
whether or no.
ITEM 4th. As to my old friend Richard N
OF Kentuck, will him nothing as he seems t
have will OF his own, which, unfortunately 70
me, led him to an association with certain femal
'poters of color" which never could justif,
before the people, and which has been grea
draw back upon the good cause in the South AM
West.
ITEM 5th. My new ali, John Catalina, G
South Carolina provide place in the Southern
Circus, where he can continue to display hi
agility in turning somersets, to the tune Of turn
about and wheel about"
ITEM 9th. My old "yoke fellow" the Grea
Expunger Of Missouri, | will and bequeath a

OF Texas lands which he offered for sale, we are
strongly inclined to believe that he has them yet.
But il he has even sold these lands, has not the
sale been made upon the same terms, and under
the same conditions that much Of his property in
the United States has been sold. For instance,
the city Of Pennington, on Pearl river, was at
one time claimed as Mr.. Walkers residence. and
we believe that was the only point at which the
service OF notices, Of protest, &C., was consider.
ed valid in law"
"Of the current reports in the South about Mr..
Walker being The holder, or part owner OF Texas
bonds and exchequer bills to large amount we
can only state that it has long been currently be.
lieved here. What connection he may have, or
had, with William M. BeaI of New Orleans,
in that sort OF stock, is best known 10 the gen.
temen themselves. But it is admitted upon all
hands, that If Texas should be annexed to the
United States, Mr.. Beal and his partners would
be immensely rich. We have at present no
proof Of these facts, and as matter Of course,
the Truth Of the case will be hard to come al"
