And Kitty. thinking of no danger to

The noise she made arounsed W
from his sleep. and he raised up in bed
just as Kitty entered the room.
"Oh, you murtherin thafe Oft villainl'
shouted Kitty, as she caught sight of his
black face, pitching into him with her
pole and sweeping off his night cap, at
the imminent risk oftaking his head with
it.
"Hallo!" he c'ied, not at all liking this
strange proceeding, are you mad?"
"Mad is it. ye thafe?" retorteG Kitty,
who did not recognize the voice, and tax.
ing surer aim this tim with her pole,
brought him a tremendous blow along
side of the head, which knocked him
senseless.
Mrs. W, who was at the bottom
of the stairs, heard her husbands excla-
nation, and knowing his voice came
rushing up, and entering the room in
time to see Kitty's formidable weapon
come with terrible force against his head,
Before the blow could he repeated. for
Kitty circulating her Numbering thafe
of a viIlainl' had lifted her pole again,
Mrs. W threw her arms around her
and cried
Don't, don't Kitty, for mercy's sake,
It's Mr.. W., and you've killed him.
"Mr. W, indade!' retored, Kit

"Is Mr.. W thafe of nager,

Bat even Kitty's eyes. as soon as they
took the pains to look more closely, saw
that it was; indeed all was as the mistress
had said. W had fallen over on his
face, and his head and white neck were
not to be mistaken for those of negro.
The pole dropped from Kitty's hands,
and with the exclamation
"Och, murlher"
She turned and shot from the room
with as good a will as she entered.
The blow which W had received
was severe one, breaking through the
flesh. and decorating his ear badly. He
recovered very soon, however, end as he
arose up, caught sight of himself, in the

may be sure, that it took all parties in

Poor Kitty was so frightened at what
she had done, that she gathered up her
"duds" and fled instanler, and was never
again seenn that neighborhood.
AS for W, he was cured of his
nocturnal visits TO the Black Horse and
love of whiskey toddy. Some months

THE CouRT OF lNoUIRY IN MExICo.-'
1t will be seen that the Court commenced
its session on ;he 18th ult and that Gen.
Worth withdrew his charge against Gen.
Scott. This was honorable; aud we
doubt not Worth's better feelings pre-
vailed, and he is sensible Of the injns-
tice to his old and tried friend. 1t is
honorable to Scott in the highest degree,
that on such field of fame, he quietly
yielded himself and his aurels to the in

old lady of the town of Brighton a short
time since made an agreement with a
neighborto sell farm on which herself
and husband resided; and, after the ar
rangements were all made, she insisted
that her wolthy liege lord was legally
bound to sign the deed, and could not be
convinced but that she had perfect right
to control not only this matter but to make
whatever bargains she pleased during the

her sex. The last we heard of the mat

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE The
editor of Texas paper, alluding to a
threat of one of his subscribers to stop
the paper on account of an article that
he did not like, makes the following clear
and forcible remarks:

as we are able to hoe corn, work on a
steamboat, drive q wagon or feed hogs,
we never mean to- We print a public

This gives an aggregate sum Of IT,
l0S, ,222, aud for The period offorty years
through which it extends, makes an an,
nual average Of about S43O 900.
The first thing that will strike the
reader of this statement, is the gradual
increase of the expenditures up to Gen.
Jackson's Administration, when the eli.
max OF over ten millions and half was
reached. The next thing for remark is
the fact. thut these expenditures were
commenced under democratic rule, and
we're greatest under the administration
which is regarded by the party now in
power as the beginning of their peculiar
organization.
II is thus demonstrated, that at no time
in the history of the government, and un.
der no party, were appropriations by the
General Government, for the improve.
ment of harhors and rivers; held 10 be
unconstitutional; and that the pretence
now attempted 10 be set up for withhold
ing the aid Of the General Government
from such works,-tha it is not within
the constitutional authority Of Congress

ton of the new tangled democracy, which
now rules in the White House,
The National lntelligencer publishes
full synopsis of the document. from
which the above facts are collated, aud
enters into an historical examination of
the progress Of these improvements
From this it is made manifest that up To
the area of Locofoco rule, that the only
limit upon the General Government, in
improving harbors and rivers, whether
they were in the West or the East, or
the North or the South, was the general
usefulness of such improvement and tho
necessity Of making it at The lime.
The cession of Louisiana was not OBJ.
tanned until 1903, nor was the use of steam
introduced into our waters until after that
lime. The war of 1912 gave to US
knowledge which we did not before pos
sess of the value and importance of the
Lakes. Florida was ceded in 1919. 1t
was therefore. as the National Itelligen-
Ger says, IF necessity after these events,
that the General Government had the in
formation required, and felt the necess-
ty of improving the Western rivers and
Lake harbors. as well as the harbor on
its more extended line of sea coast. 1t
would have been worse than useless to
attempt it before, and singularly unmind-
ful of the great and increasing interests
of the country TO have neglected it af-
ter. We accordingly fud, after the events
stated, and as the Lake and Western river
country became known and inhabited,
that the system of harbor and river i'm
provements expanded itself. In word,
as the country expanded, as its western
regions became inhabited, as its great
rivers and lakes and its Atlantic borders
became better known, as its internal and
external commerce increased, means of
rendering navigation "easy and safe"-a
principle adopted by the first law on
these subjects of the first Congress of the

ORIGIN OF SrAYs.-Stays were first in.
vented by brutal butcher Of the thir-
teenth century, as punishment for his
wife. She was very Ioquacious, and find
ing nothing would cure her, he put pair
of stays all her, in order to take away her
breath. and 50 prevent her, as he thought
from talking. This cruel punishment was
inflicted by other husbands, till at last
there was scarcely wife in all London
who was not condemned to wear stays
The punishment became so universal at
last, that the ladies' in their defence made
fashion of It, and so it has continued
to the present day.

The following extract from an oration
delivered by Edward Everett, in 1928, is
peculiarly interesting at the present
time:
