nounced him the grandest scoundrel the world
ever produced 1t so happened that two of
Judge Brch's sons, returning from the Nashville
law school, were passengers on the st. Ange,
unknown to Col. Benton, and perhaps everybody
else on the boat One day when the colonel
had collected crowd around him in the social
hall, and was giving Judge Birch particular
thunder, one of the young men stepped up, and
in the most courteous manner remarked to the
colonel that he was son of the Judges, and had
from motives Of respect to him (the coone)

grey hairs, but if you continue to abuse my
father, rest assured shall be under the disagree
able necessity of pulling your nose." Nothing
more serious TRANSFERRED, and the colonel made
no further illusions to Judge Birch until the
boat reached Liberty landing
Coming down, Col. Benton took passage on
the Ben West, and the boat grounded hard and
fast in the channel at Smiths bar the ST. Ange

and passed by under slow head Of steam. A
passenger on the st. Ange, observing Col. Ben

hailed him with How are you, colonel-happy
to see you sir" The colonel mistakng him
most likely, for political friend or acquaintance
not then recollected, lifted his hat from his time

can bow, brought his silvered locks nearly tt

TIVE MAINE LAw.-This law, in regard to the
sale of spirtuous liquors, passed the senate yes
terday by vote of 80 yeas to 9 nays, a very
remarkable vote. The law, as it passed the
senate, is different In several particulars from the
bill which was reported by the committee. 1t
has been amended in several of its sections. and
as far as the amendments go the bill has been
made more liberal than the law of Maine. As
it is, however, the law Is one of more stringent
character than has ever passed the legislature Of
Massachusetts,. 1t is to 60 into effect, we be-
lieve, some three days before the people shall
be called upon to decide upon it. Some sena-

vision that left it with the people, although they
