Silas Hrfehf.

The Cleveland correspondent Of the Ohio
Statesman, relates the following admirable
and characteristic incident:
81 heard an nnecdose about Silas w right
which occurred recently in our city, which
cannot resist telling. A young man who
is . sailor, was being exanined in one OF
our magistrates courts, and upon being
asked by q lawyer where he resided, re-
piled: SIN Canton, st. Lawrence county
N. Y" Some one remarked. What,in
Canton, that is where Silas Wright re-
sides, is it not?n ssYes sirsee, the
sailor, "and I know him well, the last time
saw him, he had pick axe on his shouls
der going to dig ditch" asPerhnps, y said
q whig who. was present, che was going to
dig the grave Of the locofocos.n "More
likely,n responded the sailor che was 20.
ing to prepare for the interment Of the
Wing party in '4S; for he would make
first rate sexton for them in that occasion." "
..You know Mr.. Wright, thehp, asked
some one who was present "Yes, ssr,"
again responded the sailor, she's the man
who, when he comes home from Congress,
puts on his big stogy boots and tow srouss
ers, and goes QUITO work the roads with
the boys. I've held scraper with him n1any
q timesend mighty good hand he is TOO.
He tax es hold Of q scraper, or plough han
die, or an axe, and makes every thing hy
about, just as he does when he talks abosls
the tariff, the big bank, and them other
great political affairs. He'sia man I'll

AN IMPROVEMENT IN BREAD-MAkING.-
Persons who are SO unfortunate as to be
poorly provided with those agents Of masti
cation. good teeth, will be glad to know
that there is method Of baking bread
which obviates the necessity of hard crust
The crust commonly attached to the loaf
is not only troublesome to such persons. but
is often the cause Of much waste. The
way to be rid of it is as follows: When the
loayes are moulded, and before they are
set down to ssrise," take small quantity
of clean lard, warm it, and rub it lightly
over the loayes. The result will be a
crust beautifully soft and tender throughout.
This is not guess-work. - Prairie Farmer.

SELL1Ne WHITE MEN.-It appears that
they have law in st. Louis for selling
vagrants, which they have lately taken a
notion to enforce. The Union gives the
following notice of one Of the operations:
'James Todd, and Bill Reed, were sold
ut the Court House door yesterday at IL
o'clock. Todd believed that he could more
fully appreciate his own worth than any
one else, and so out bid all the bystanders
and bought himself at $lI,50.
Bill Reed was bad stock, which every
body knew except German, who was in-
duced TO pay the enormous sum Of $l,5O
for him, but discovering that he had made
bad bargain told Bill that if he would
leave the State Immediately he would give
him his freedom. Bill consented and viii

a man known and remarked in Washington city
as one of the most temperate and moral members
of Congress s-abstaining entirely from oil the
fashionable vices of the metropolis man noted
for his uprightness at home and abroad, should
be actually beaten on account Of his abstract O.
pinions about morals and religion; that bigots,
debauchers, gamblers, and sots should be prefer
red to the man of blameless life; provided the
former will play the hypocrite, and talk about
s'holy temples" while the latter makes no long
faces nor pious grimaces A man may be a du
ellist, gambler, or anything else; he may yio-
late every command of the decalogue, and tram
pie every precept of religion under his feet and
and thus show as much practical infdelity and
as much contempt Of morality and religion as he
pleases and be applauded by the very hypocrites
and bigots who raise the alarm and roll up their
eyes at obnoxious opinions.-Louisuiie Dam.
