sPr0ce in Congress.

The great machinery of Congress moves
on at it's usual slow gait towards the general
appropriation bills, and the prospects are
that during the next month the most Of
them will be got through, and the material
aid thus be afforded the Government for
continuing its own existence during the
coming year. Never in our history has
there been time when all the great in
terests of our country have been so pros
perous never when surplus Of revenue
over expenditure has accumulated so fast
in the national treasury. No excuse exists
for Congress to reform and increase the
Navy, complete the Notifications of the
coast, and erect at the Capitol those neces-
sary buildings for the accommodation of the
various departments, so much needed The
present state of many of the department
buildings is extremely hazardous to the
preservation OF tne archives from nre or
casualty. What better can Congress- do
than replace these finder boxes with fire,
proof and classic buildings? Let them
also erect few more statues to the heroes
of our Republic, and appropriate some
money to improve those great wastes called
public grounds, make the White House a
decent mansion for white man, and Con-
gress can then break up with the satisfac-
ton of having something permanent to
show for the vast amounts usually appro-
priated for all sorts of purposes.

From the New York Dutchman.l


or, the speaker from Bangor. Many years
ago, there did dwell in the flourishinr
moral and progressive city of Bangor,
which is to be found in 'sthat famous tabled
country, way down East''-a smart but
very escentric lawyer, whose name was
Blackjack Possessed of a most brilliant
education-being "dead letter perfect" in
law business, fine speaker, and related
to some of the most distinguished families
in the 5 tate, he enjoyed ''crack business"
AS he waxed older, he entered the "politi
cal ARENA and there rode the best horse
In short, lie became great man. But he
had failing-a big one-all great man,
alas have 'em and Blackjack was bv no
means an exception, Blackjack | roget to
say, would get at times, most disreputably
slight At elections, public meetings,
and upon occasions when his services were
most required, he would 60 it, to use
delectible expression, in vogue out West,
with a perfect looseness"
In company with several ''big guns" he
went up to ~, one night, to stump it
in favor of Henry Clay, it being the summer
which proceeded the election of James X.
Polk. The meeting u.s. WAS crowded
with the Wings of ", "big men
from Bangor" were going to speak, and ex-
pectation was on tip-toe. The first speaker
the President announced was Mr. Blackjack.
whom he eulogised in the highest manner.
Now Backrock had been drinking freely
all day, and was now SO tight that he could
scarcely stand. His friends tried to keep
him from going on the stand, but it was no
go. Well, up he staggered, and leaning on
the desk, thus eloquently did be discourse:
"Fellow -citizens-Owing to a (bic) Slight
in-(hic) -dis-po- (hic) -sitiou, shall be un-
able to make an extended speech We must
fleet General Harrison, but uhers IN h-U
the uotes are 10 come from IS more Than can
see!''
lie descended amidst the yells of the To-
cos and outsiders, and the curses of the
Wings.
Bar One more anecdote, and have done
with Blackrock
A great supper, on account of Wing vic
tory, was given at the Bangor House
Blackjack was present, and as "tight as a
peep" He behaved very well during sup
per, but when the dessert came on, he very
coolly filled his glass with brandy, and
threw it plump into the face of Judge X.
The Judge, being calm sort of man, bore
it well, but took Blackjack out into the en-
try to talk with him. Blackjack listened
to him patiently, as the Judge thought; but
judge of his surprise when he observed that
Blackjack had in his hand tea pot, filled
with scalding hot tea, which he began in the
most deliberate manner to pour on to his
(the Judge's) person. The Judge was mad
now.
"What in h-ll!" he yelled, retreating
towards the doorway, care you up to moac2
Scalding man to death, are you, you id
drunken swab?"
"Oh, never mind, old boy, said Blackjack,
following the Judge up, "rH6e through in

men, who, simply because they can't find
any enjoyment in a good cigar, are "down

EXTENSIVELY from reformed consumers Of

use the weed upon every possible occasion,

CooL.-The Louisville Courier gives the
following account of cool transaction,
which took place in that city at the burning

One of the boarders, carpet bag in hand,
descended from the third story, which was
all in flames, and marching up to the clerk
at the Office, around whom the hot cinders
were dropping, told him that he believed he
would move his quarters, and wanted to
know how much his bill was. The clerk
turned to the ledger, counted it up, made out
the bill, took the money, and politely bowed
him out, at the same time expressing his
regret at his sudden departure.
