"NAxEp TRUrH"-The late eccentric John
Holmes used frequently, in his addresses to differ
ent juries to explain the meaning of the phrase,
"naked truth" by relating the following fable -
Truth and Falsehood travelling one warm
day, met at r,and both went to bathe at the
same place. Falsehood coming first out of the
water, took his companions clothes and left his
own vile raiment, and then went on his way
Truth coming out of the water, sought in vain for
his own proper dress-disdaining to wear the garb
of Falsehood Truth started, all naked, in pur-
suit of the thief, but not being so swift of foot, has
never overtaken the fugitive. Ever since he has
been known as naked TRUTH"

e5- "Muscatine," an OK six years old, raised at
Muscatine, Iowa, now en- route for the Worlds
Fair, is believed to be the largest in the Unit
ed States. He is feet s inches high, II feet
and inches long, girts 10 feet 9 inches, and if
fated, it is believed, would weigh over 1000 lbs.

to put it where you can find it.

(Io be concluded.)

o.. A miser named Noah Odell sixty years old,
died on the lSth.in Boston. So fearful was he of
losing his money, that he wore chain round his
body, to which was fastened a stout bag, in which
the treasure was deposited. This he kept by him
during his sickness, and upon it was fixed his dy-
ing gaze. In winter, it is related that he went
to church three times day, 10 save fuel at home,
only leaving his bed to return to it.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1853-10-12

o. There cannot possibly be greater extrav-
agance, than for man to run the hazard of losing
his life to satisfy his revenge. When Mark An
thony, after the battle of Actium, challenged Au-
gustus, he took no further notice Of the insult,
than sending back this answer :-"f Anthony was
weary of his life, there were other ways of dis
patch besides fighting and, for his part, he should
not trouble himself to be his executioner."

&C. The more ignorant person is the harder he
is to suit. Take your seat at dinner Ia Bile, and
you will find that the person that gives the most
trouble to the walters, will not be an ex governor,
but an exhod-cauier, OF an ex-wood- sawyer.
