ORIGIN OF STAYs.--Stays were first invented by brutal butcher of the thir. tcenth century, as punishment for his wife. She was very loquacous, and find ing nothing would cure her, he put a pair of stays on her, in order to take away her breath, and so prevent her, as he thought, from talking. This cruel punishment was inflicted by other husbands, till at last there was scarcely wife in London who was not condemned to wear stays. The puni shmcnt became so universal at last, that the ladies in their defence made a fashion of ii, and so it was continued to 'the prcsen: day.

AN APT ILLUsTRATIoN.-The editor
of the Havervill (Mass.) Gazette, in a
dignified reply to an insulting commune
cation, abusing him for supporting Gen,
Taylor, forcibly illustrates the position
of the "disaffected Wings" by striking
simile.-He says:
"Our writings against the nomination of
Taylor are quoted with all imaginable
absurdlty, as if they pledged us to op-
pose his election after the question is re-
duced to him or Cass. We are accused
of dishonesty, and asked why we do not
go to picking pockets for living, if we
cannot afford to be man." We can af-
ford to be a man, but not to be an idiot,
and feel that we can no more be Justly
be charged with dishonesty or incon-
sistency than the man who should refuse
to take passage across the ocean in a
packet ship because he had objected for
some reason to that particular ship be-
ing put upon the line According to
these wise casuists, he should throw him
selfinto mud-scow, without the slight
est regard to its capacity of ever reach
ing the destined shore, and do all in his
power, by torpedoes. fire-balls and false
lights, to wreck the ship to which he
has objected"

MIR. Cass-Mr. Wise,

The locofocos are rejoicing because
Mr.. Wise of Virginia is out in favor of
Gen; Gass. They will please be good
enough TO cast their eyes back to the
following facts, and opinions OF that gen.
tleman in regard to their candidate.
In 1887, such was the violence of Mr..
Wise's opposition TO Gen. Jackson and
his party, that he moved the ap point
mems of special committee to investi-
gate the alleged abuses and corruptions
of the Executive Department. By re-.
feriing to the Sd volume OF Reports of
Committees, page IS, I'd session, Oath
Congress, it will be found that this COM
mittee met, according to adjournment,
on the morning of the 9th January,
1897.
Mr.. Wise submitted the following as
the form of the oath to be administered
to the witnesses, which was adopted u
unanimously. You do solemnly swear
that the evidence you shall give touch
ing the subjects of investigation of this
committee, shall be the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, so help
you God.
MIR. Wise was then presented TO the Commit
tee as witness, AMI the Document says, took
the oath by reading the words and kissing the
book. Upon being Intercepted, he replied as
sllows concerning Gen. Cass
81 believe that Lewis Cass, Secretary
OF War was engaged in specializing in the
public lands whilst Secretary of War,
that he made eXorbtant allowances to
favorites; another, after he had full know
ledge that the favorlte had forged his Of
fetal signature; permitted commissions
under him to be antedatcd, and has or
dered Treasury warrant to be paid to
the assignee of disbursing officer, who
had gambled it away, after it had been
protested by deposit bank and was
countermanded by the Secretary Of the
Treasury; and to have been guilty ofsev-
eral other acts of violation OF duty"
These were the charges preferred a.
gainst the locofoco candidate by Mr..
Wire in 1887, under the solemn injunc-
tons of an oath framed by himself He
has never recanted them since then.
The party in Virginia and elsewhese, has
reason to be proud of the cooperation
of Mr.. Wise, and l commend 10 the
Richmond Enquirer and to its satellites,
this scrap of history for their edifcatlon
1t will serve to embellish his present eff
forts, and to cement their bonds of afec-
ton.

CHARACTERISTICS Worcester
True Wing gives the following anecdote,
which sounds like truth:
Soon after Cass was made Secretary
of War, Scott, meeting Taylor,'sa, to
him, "Ah! Taylor, good appointment
that. We have Secretary now who
understands our wants" Taylor has
two veins IN his forehead that, when he
is excited, swell out as large as child's
finger. These veins began to enlarge.
81 don't know that, General" SAID he
-"he knowns his own wants. When he
was Governor of Michigan Territory, he
ordered me to send him twelve of my
