AnecdOtc of Jefferson.

Mr.. Stansbury, in Arthur's Home GA
zettc, relates the following anecdote of the
Sage of Monscello:
He had perched his country seat on a
mountain height commanding a magnih-
cent prospect, but exposed to the sweep of
wintry winds, and not very convenient Of
access. Not far from Monticello, and with
in the bounds of his estate, was a solitary
and lofty hill, so situated as to be exposed
to the blast of two currents of wiud, coming
up through valleys on different sides oft.
MIR. Jefferson thought this would be an adj
mirable position for windmill; and hav-
ing recently invented model for saw
mill, to be moved by vertical sails, he sent
for an engineer, and submittedit to his judy
ment. The man professional science ex-
amined the plan, and listened with profound
attention and Difference to Mr.. Jefferson's
explanations it, and to his eloquent Illus
tration of the advantages it would secure.
Having heard him through and being asked
by the philosopher, "What he thought of
itl" he replied, with great sincerity, that it
was most ingenious idea, and was deci-
dedly the best plan for saw-mill he had
ever seen Jefferson was delighted, and
forthwith entered into a written agreement
for the erection of such mill on the neigh
boring height
The work went bravely on-the inven-
tor very frequently mounting his horse and
riding over to see how it proceeded
When the frame was up, and the building
approached its completion, the engineer
rode over to Monticello, to obtain a supply
of money, and to get some directions a
bout the saws. Jefferson kept hun to din
wine set upon the table, he turned to his
guest, and with an air Of much satisfaction,
exclaimed:
"And so, Mr., you like my mill"
Il do, sir, indeed, very much; it is GER
tainly one ofthe greatest improvements, in
the construction of saw mill l ever wit
messed.
"You think the sails are so hung that it
cannot fail to work we'll"
Certainly, it must, it can't help it."
"And there's always a wind upon that
hill; if it does not come up one valley, it is
sure to comcup the other; and the hill is so
high and steep that there is nothing to in
terrupt the full sweepof the wind, come
which wayit will. You think, then, on the
whole, that thething cannotfail of complete
success"
81 shouldthink so, sir, butfor one thing"
"Ah! what's that!'
al have been wondering in my own mind
how you are to get up your saw-logs!'
Jefferson threw up his hands and eyes.
Il never thought ofthat." The mill was
abandoned of course

Mr.. Craig suggested that as it had been
asccrtained that both Mr. Scott and Mr..

For THE VIRGfNIaN.
The MayOraIty Again.

1t Is quite dmusIng to witness the hcpi-
ddfson into which some of the mack aoJil-
ay ofthc place, has been thrown, at the
simple request Of the people, that the poor
privilege should be given them by their
masters Of the Council, to say at the polls
whether they wished Mayor with sal
airy Of $500 per annum or not, before they
should be required to elect one, against
their own viii. But instead Of this poor
boon, we are informed by Mr.. Puritan
Truth Teller, as if by the authority Of the
Grand CouncI that, no such privilege can
be given us, that the Legislature ofVrgi-
ma having, at the request Of this grand
"Sanhedrim" of Lynchburg granted away
our rights INTO their hands, we, ike the "a.
vorcd subjects Of a certain Christian, King,
are to be spared the perplcxity and troa-
bic of saying whether we wished Mon

have, and all the good citizens Of Lynch
burg have to do is to go through the mo

that the Office Of Mayor is TO produce
clear gain Of 500 per annum to the dear
people from the fires, penalties, taxes, &c,
arising from the discharge Of the various
duties Of the Office; and which upon tie
same principle of giving relief to the peo

by increasing the taxes to that additional
amount and then to create additional off

up on its passage.
Mr.. Speed made brief statement Of the
character of the bill. He was followed by
Mr.. Benoni Z. Harrison on the other side
who, in a speech gilmore than usual power,
evincing, as it did, great vigor ofthought
and thorough acquaintance with the sub
ject, set forth his grounds of opposition
He stated that he had thoroughly under
stood the subject 40 years ago.
Mr.. Speed expressed some surprise at
this, as he was under the impression that
the idea embodied in the bill had not enter
ed the mind Of man until within the last Z
or years.
Mr.. Harrisonexplaincd thathis 40 years
experience had reference to the general
subject of banking. He defended himself
from the imputation of ignorance,
Mr.. Boydston briefly advocated the pas
