"THE FIRST FAMILIES" "

"THE FIRST FAMILIES"
The following story is not
bad, though it be at the expense
OF. the first fdmiies-a flash
term, which the wits of the |
South and Southwest have be- |
slowed upon Virginians, who
have migrated thither, in conse-
quence Of the too ridiculous de-
pertinent of too many of them.
An Illinois Sucker took a
great dislike to foolish young
Virginian who, few week since
was fellow passenger with him
on one of our steamboats,. The
Virginian was continually comb
ing his hair, brushing his coat,
or dusting his boots-to all of
which movements the Sucker
took exceptions, as being what
he termed "a leetle too darned
nice by half He finally drew
up his chair beside the Virgin
ian, and began
'Whar might you be from,
stranger2'
Y 4 am from Virginia, SIR po-
litely answered the gent.
From old Tirginny, / 'spose!''
says the Sucker.
'Yes, sir, old Trginia,' was
the reply.
'You are pooty high up in the
piturs thar, | 'spose,' continued
the first.
i don't know what you mean
by that remark sir says the Vir-
ginian.
1"Oh, nuthin,' says the Sucker,
but that you are desp'rate rich,
and hev been brought up right
NICE
IF the information will graft
fy you in any way says the
gent, patronisingly, smoothing
down his hair, Il belong to one
of the first families.
'OhI in COURSE answered the
Sucker. well, stranger, bein
as you belong to the furst, III
jest give you two of the latest
shoats in all Illinois eff you'll
only find me a fellar that be-
longs to one of the second vir-
ginny families
'You want to quarrel with me
SIR says the virginian.
" 'No stranger, not All atom,'
answered the Sucker, but ]
never seed one of the second
family, and I'd gin sumthin to
gita sight of one of 'em. / know
you are one Of furSt, cause you
look jest like John Randolph
This modified the virginian
--the hint Of resemblance to
the statesman was flattering to
his feelings and he acknowledge
ed relationship to the orator.
-sg He, you know continued
the Sucker, was a descendant
7of the Ingiu gal Pocahontas.'
'You are right, SIR answered
the other.
well, stranger said the
Sucker, do you know thar is a.
mother queer thing allys puzzels
ME, and it's this-I never seed
a virginnyin that didn't claim to
be eitherdescended from an In
gin, John Randolph or anigger.'
I'VE need not add that the
Sucker rolled off his chair
suddenly. They were separaa
ted and kept apart untili the
Sucker got off at a landing near
his home. AS he stepped ashore

an on the upper deck, and hail

II has often struck usvery orcibly, that the names
of some of our Mexican battles were most nfecitous-
ly chosen 1t would appear that battle field should
receive It's name from distinguishing character
isticsome neighborng village-or at least that the
object referred 10 by the should have actual
and tangible existence. In accordance with this sys-
tenn OF nomenclature, many persons upon looking in
TO Spanish dictionary and finding Palo Vito 10
tall timber. would very naturally conclude that the
celebrated battle field of the name is remarkable
for trees of considerable elevation But such an idea
would be quite misake--for, TO our own certain
knowledge, there is not plant any where near the
place deserving the name Of tree. Even the Spanish
bayonet, species OF palm in this part ofihe country,
seldom attaus elevation Of more than Is feet. In
the same manner, it would be reasonable inference
that at the Resaca de la Palma (ravne OF the palm)
there may be found trees of the species indicated by
the names but so far from this being the case, the Re
SAGA de la Palma. is almost the only place the road
from Point Isabel TO Ma,amoros where the palm is
not found. Buena Vista means fair vew-and The
name is applied TO OF the uges most diIapdated
miserable little ranchoes in Mexico. The only fair
view that even there, was the sigh, Of the
Mexican army in full retreat the evening of the
