Things are still done IN their usual way by
the Truman Smith committee on fraud. The

by thoufands. By the way, Barnum Of Jennie

OF the uses, he could make Of Truman Smith
and the celebrated Tom Thamt. The story
runs, that if Truman and his friend will raise

told, that Barnum thinks, that the amiable
placid and winning manrers Of Truman, with
little Thumb, az expounder Of Sewaraism, will

have lust come into the possession Of an
amusing anecdote, that occ nrred in one OF the
largest boarding houses in this city. Mr.. w.
was reading the loDe speech, delivered by Gen
Scott a, Cleveland, snd dad it with great deal
Of amusing satire; 80 much so, that the ire OF
Fnz Henry Warren, gentleman, ! believe,
that il we'll known in Iowa, took Mr.. W. to
task for his criticism on the language OF Gen.
SOFT. Mr. Warren remarked, "that if Gen.
Scott did deliver that speech, the effort did not
make him faint" 'No" replied the other gen.
tleman "Gen Scott did not faint, but every
person else did" This was 4 poser ;-FLz
Henry Warren became mute, and there the
conversation ceased.
