An Anecdote.

The inhabitants of a small town in Ohio were
recently in state of great excitement by the
announcement that Kossuth would pass through
their village at a certain hour. Accordingly ey-
cry person that could walk, man, woman, and
child, was at the depot at the expected moment,
prepared to give warm welcome to the nations
guest. 1t so happened that Kossuth did not ar
rive in that train ofcars, but a returned Calfor-
MAN was there, who prided himself on a magni-
fcent moustache and heavy growth of black
whiskers, and sported Kossuth hat and plumes
Upon seeing the parade, he stepped forth on the
platform, to the great amusement of his fellow
passengers, and was received with three times
three cheers. He raised his hat and plumes.
and bowling gracefully to the assembled compa-
ny, remarked, that owing to his past labor he
was in delicate health, and should not be able
to address them at any length, but thanked them
most sincerely for their sympathy with DOWN
trodden Hungary, and amid deafening hurrahs
returned to his seat in the cars. The conductor
gave the signal, the train moved on, and was
soon out of hearing. The inhabitants of that
village will undoubtedly GO to their graves in
the firm conviction of having seen and listened
to Hungary's great patriot.
