.WHAT WILL YOU TAKE1,

No country in the world is SO celebrated
for "stump speakers" as the "West." Eve
rybotty over the age OF "twenty -one" is a DO.
liticlan and q '.stumper." Our children suck
It from their mothers breast--a knowledge
OF the Constitution and the Laws, and as
they grow up, they seize every occasion to
your forth their political and legal lore from
the stump.
One Of the most effective popular haran-
gues to which we ever listened was deliver
ed at Chilcothe, Ohio, in 1910, by one DR..
n, Of Kentucky. He is large corpulent
gentleman, full of wit and waggaYy, and is
not unfond of glass Of "somelhing." Dur
ing the exciting Harrison Campaign, he ac-
companied Ex-Governor Metcalfe to Chilli
cothe, for the purpose of attending grand
gathering OF the people. More than twenty
thousand freemen were assembled to express
their views in regard to public affairs. A.
mong others, "Old Stone Hammer Gov.
M--,was called upon to address the
multitude, which he did, in his usual felicit.
GUS style. When he concluded there were
loud cries for DR.. D. Fhe Doctor, however,
was by no means inclined to sespond, but tho
cries growing louder, and being urged to ap-
pear by bis friends, he mounted the staud.
AS he surveyed that immense sea Of .human
faces" his heart failed him, bnt as he deter
mined to say something, and clearing his
throat, he began:
~Fellow-citizens Of Ross County!'' Loud
cheers from the crowd followed this CON-
Nenccment.

mouths and leargcr, ears, leaned forward to

A DISTINGUISHED PRIsoNER.-The Delaware
County PA Republican furnishes its readers with
an amusing sketch of militia training that aoas
to hare come off at Chester, on the 9th inst The
citizen soldiers We're all upon the ground, when
upon some pretext or other the Brigade Inspector,
with portion of his staff induced to visit an
runoccupied room in the jail-we believe, to Judge
of its fitness for an armory While in the room,
some wicked wag turned the key upon the $ off
Gals and they were kept in durance vile until
3 o clock in the afternoon When they We're re-
leased, the "naton's bulwark'' had returned to
their homes, and the ''pomp and circumstance of
glorious war; which was to have astonshed the
natives was postponed to a more convenient
season."

Touch SToRS.-The Buffalo Republic tells the
following rather tough story. We are somewhat
skeptical:
s' In Medield, last week. George Fisher trod on
a rattlesnake which bit his boot, but did not touch
the leg Mr. Fisher killed the reptile, and two
others. In ennsylvania, years ago, man died
from the bite of rattlesnake through his boot;
his boots were worn by his son, who died from a
slight scratch from fang remaining in one of them;
three years afterwards grandson wore the boots,
and died in the same way, and then the cause was
discovered"
