Humorous Legislators.

acted an unusual amount of public attention,

/ the members amused their associates by intro
ucing mock bills and reports. Among the
ills introduced was the following satirical hit

lynn paper, speaking of the shoe trade at that
,lace. says: Our manufacturers have had good
prng Business They have sold out; cleared out
VERIFYING, and could have sold many more shoes
or the spring trade had it been possible for them
o have completed the orders in season. We do
lot undertake to speak for other shoe manufac-
luring towns, but such are the facts in regard to
lynn. The shoe business is at this time as good
IS it ever was IN Lynn. Our manufacturers are
oil of orders, and full Of work to complete them.
The wages of iours are up, and coming up. No
,ne who can make decent shoe is out OF en-
,oyment; all busy; ali doing well, with fine
prospect ahead.
Two of our shoe manufacturers are at this time
buhing up houses for their own private residence,
which will compare with any suburban mansion
IN tho neighborhood of Boston or elsewhere.
Dne Of them, with the grounds, is estimated at
s4O 600, and the other from $40 600 to $4,000.
Another not long since completed an establish
nent at a.cost Of $50, 900 or more, and is erect-
NO greenhouse which will cost about $4,000.

nS p Hale cannot possibly be chosen soma
tor from New Hampshire, if the Legislature have
any regard for decent political action. and If he
wore anything else but wandering seeker after
place he would not presume to Be candidate for
that Office. As long ago as 1853, he was invited
10 attend the second festival of the sons Of New
Hampshire in Boston, and in the published ac-
count of that festival will be found his reply.
dated "New York, October "a, 1853" From
the last paragraph of that reply the N. H.
Patriot quotes these words:
aBut gentlemen, is there not some mistake in
sending me this invitation ! ana NOT a resdsat
Of .Ns,o Hampshire, nor Of Boston, nor Of Massa
chusetts and possessed of no position, official
or any other which should cntitle me to this dis
tinctioR; but simply a private individual ,cho Is
being quieiiy and rapidly submerged In this masI-
stroom Of tfe and business called the city Of Nsso
York"
This IL conclusive and since il was written
Hale has attended freesoil State conventions in
New York, and acted as delegate therein.
