Jonse Hooper's Last.

The Montgomery Mail, edited by Johnson J. Hooper, altas Simon Suggs, has the follow ing good 'un:
 A correspondent of ours, writing us the other day, from Lowndes county relates the follow ing anecdote of Judge P-s:
 The Judge was holding Lowndes circuit court and suddenly caught the eye of wit ness in a trial winch was progressing This man, the Judge thought was making the most demoniac grimaces at him, and without moments hesitation, he ordered the clerk to enter up "a fine of ten dollars against that man, for contempt of court''-pointng to the gentleman who carried the expressive physiog- nomy.
 "Why, what's that for Judge?' exclaimed the unfortunate man.
 You're making faces at the court, sir.- There y0u are agtan sw! MT. Clerk, enter up another fine of the same amount against this man."
 Here our friend, Tom J. interferred, and explained that the person fined, habitually looked as he did now-was worthy citizen and never was ill contempt" in his lfe
 "Very good, very good, Mr. J." said the Judge Let the fines be remitted; but this court has general power to abate nuisances which interfere with its administration of the law. MT. Sheriff. carry this man at least two hundred yards from the courthouse, and see that he doesn't enter it again.'
 That poor fellow, we should say, "had it." very badly.

The Science of Blacksmithing.

The Scientific American SayS--sawing heat ed iron and steel is not known or thought of by blacksmiths; and when several forks or branches are to be formed from one stock, even
 if the branches are required to remain eventu- ally nearly in contact and parallel to each other, the usual method is to split the end of the iron with an awkward chisel, thereby de- forming the edge of each branch; on which ac- count the branches must be bent asunder for the purpose of hammering, squaring and shap- ing the edge of each; after which they are brought together as we'll as may be, usually re- taining roughness in form, if not deficiency of size and strength near the juncture of the branches. Instead of this tedious process, the iron, when heated, may be put into vice and the ends readily slit with suitable saw, which would save much labor in hammering and fil- ing. A saw for this purpose should be made thicker at the edge than at the back, and with uniform teeth one-twelfth of an inch apart- The saw, when used, must be often dipped in water to prevent its becoming too much heat ed. There is also method of saving or cut ting hardened steel which is not generally known as 1t should be. A circular piece of common thin iron plate, or sheet iron, being adjusted to a lathe, or by other means put into violent rotary motion, willreadily cut off file cut ting tool, or tempered steel spring, without drawing or reducing the temper. There is much mystery in the wonderful effect of this bug, and its cutting property is attributed to electricity. It answer very convenient pur- pose, however, when the shape and form of ar tices are required to be altered without affecting their temper. It furnishes convenient me- thod for cutting teeth to large saws; but objec- tionable on account of the newly cut surface being left so hard that they cannot be filed by a common fle Connected with the subject of "mysterious effects' it may be stated that q bar of iron of almost any size may be instantly sundered while hot, by the simple application of piece of common roll birthstone. A knowl- edge of this fact will be useful when some piece of iron work is required to be severed, but which, as is sometimes the case, is SO construct ed and situated that no ordinary chisel or cut ting tool can be brought to apply. Holes may be instantly perforated through bars or plates of heated iron by the application of pointed pieces of rhinestone. This phenomenon is cu- rious, although it seldom affords much practical utility.

TOUCHING INCIDENT.-A correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing from Marshfield about the last illness of MT. Web ster, says:
 During his last sickness he called for Hatch. one of hls laborers, and told him to keep a fa- vorte sail boat moored by the shore of the lake, within sight of his bedroom window. with lantern burning perpetually at the mast head until his life should be extneuished Just night or tive before his death, while he was nomentarily expecting the arrival of his last hour, tremendous gale blew over the land from the ocean all night, carrying wreck and destruction in all directions. At an early hour the dying statesman looked from his window to see the fate of his boat and the lantern. There they were, the boat still safe at her moorings, and the lantern gimmerng still as bright as ever in the gray of the morning. Turning to friend, who was sitting by his bedside, where he had been watching all night, he said with faint smile of satisfaction, Well, you see, our home squadron seems to have ridden out the gale" He appeared to have the impression that his own fate was in some way connected with the safety of the boat.

0TThe following from one of our exchanges gives some in formation which may be of in- terest to the public. It is generally supposed that these free banks are safe; in as much as their circulation is secured by stocks deposited with an Auditor of State; the notes all being signed by him so as to make sure of preventing an over issue; and we grant that this is some improvement on the usual mode of banking. It is quite impossible, however, to avoid the evils of bank of issue. The whole system is wrong, and all expedients to substitute "promi- ises to pay' for actual payments will fail to make uniformly sound currency.
 Below we have the banks of Tennessee clas- sifed:
 TENNESSEE BANKs.-As banks have been multiplying very fast recently, and as many persons confound the free and stock banks to- gether, we have concluded to publish list of each. It will be remembered that the notes of the free banks are secured by deposit with the Comptroller of the State of Tennessee bonds and Nashville and Chattanooga railroad bonds, which are endorsed by the State, and consequently quite as good as the State bonds proper The free banks cannot issue dollar without depositing dollar for dollar with the Comptroller in bonds This fund is a sacred one, and cannot be used for any other purpose than the redemption of the notes issued by the respective banks.

hope withal that our surmises might be only surmises.
 Those acts of rioting and outlawry and dis regard for all law and order cannot rebound much to the credit of our city. It has been a proud boast with us, that whilst fanaticism and intolerance urged on the inhabitants of some of the northern cities to acts of violence, which have been reprobated and condemned by all well-thinking citizens, New Orleans was free from such abuses. It would be pity that at the eleventh hour she should lose her good character. What the result of all this will be we cannot imagine. Tomorrow, and time alone can tell.

A RUsE-One of our Secretaries of State for the United States struck out good mode of getting rid of an intruder in particular case. It appears that the doorkeeper of the Secreta- rvs office was remarkably obliging, which proved quite the thing for rapid otice-seeker, who managed to get in every day and bother the Secretary. When the annoyance continued three or four days, the Secretary stepped up one morning to the doorkeeper, and asked if he knew what that man came after daily?
 "Yes" replied the functionary, "an office ] suppose"
