It is rather regretted that the auto
biography of Mr.. Webstor's eminent
friend, Jeremiah Mason, could not be
included in the present volumes, os they
were so long associated as the ornaments
of the New England bar. This docu-
ment is stated to be extremely interest
ing aud to contain much matter which
would illustrate the life and times of
himself and Mr.. Webster. Doubtless,
however, the family of Mr.. Mason will
one day publish it, but its circulation
would be greatly augmented by its con
necton with the volumes about to be
published by Mr. Fletcher W Webster.

A friend told us recently that our
anecdotes of the legislator who wanted
the Constitution TO run through his
farm, and of his worthy brother who
did not think his constituents had any
sense, reminded him of the freaks Of
distinguished Michigan State Sens
ator, who, in his day, was the unfail>
ing source of half the fun at the Cap
itol. Upon one occasion, while some
resolutions were under discussion which
involved an endorsement of the action
ofthc Michigan delegationin Congress
upon the tariff question, this gentle
man sprang upon his feet, cxclaiming:
"Mr. President.-I do not care a
curse about this plaguey tariff; but I'm
afraid that the Wings will Get branch
of the ID thing in this State"
The some. gentleman was at another
time made the victim of the sarcasm
and irony of a political opponent, who,
in a long and personal speech against
him in the Senate Chamber. accused
him, among other things, of having
stolen the livery of heaven to serve
the devil in. Our friend rose to reply,
violently aaitated, and trembling with
indignation. lie said:
"Mr. President This is the first
time in all my life that have been ac-
cuscd of stealing! My opponent says
l have stolen the Library of Heaven ,
Mr.. President, in the most solemn
manner, allow me to assure you, that
| did not know there was such book
in print"
lie was originally from New Jersey,
and was very fond Of glorifying that
State. Upon these occasions he al
ways commenced as follows:
"Mr. President, the great State Of
New jersey, which State l had the
honor to ledve," &c.
TLese are pretty hard to beat, but
we believe that we can still cap the
climax by a leaf from our lloosicr rem
iniscences. 1t is what VIC remember
of a speech We once heard delivered
by a candidate for County Clerk.
The orator was one of those lank,
shambling men that arc almost always
found in fever and ague countries, and
was dressed in complete suit of linen
which was at once too large and too
small for him. lie was troubled at the
time with bad cold in his head, and
blew his nose every few minutes with
his fingers, wiping them after each op>
Grafton upon the seat of his pantaloons,
which, by frequent repetitions of the
process, had grown quite sleek and
glossy. lie began:
"Feller Citizens:-I was born in
glorious old Knox, but was fotchcd up
in Sullivan, and had it not been for the
goodness of Providence and some other
gentlemen, ! mout have been big
darncd fool as any on You. But |
have larned fust-rate cdication, and
will make as good Clerk, if elected,
as Square Law would be. | hold in

Upon one side arc inscribed tho Gods

of unicoms and if you will step over to

it for liquor"

days occupied Judge Storers branch of the

for the defendant. The suit was for damage
occasioned by the publication of o statement,

in the Commercial, the report had been, for
several days, in circulation in the business

Show Riding.

The Cleveland Herald is responsible for
the following:
We have been not o little amused at the re-
port of the Riding Committee" at the Onon-
daga IN. " County Fair, as reported in the
Syracuse Journal. 1t seems that Committee,
others, mounted their own "hobbies," and
away they went, each one in chase OF his own
fancy, as to style and dress of the equestrians.
The report says:
With some the Amazonian style found favor;
others thought less bold and dashing style
best consorted with the delicacy of the
sex; while yet third class admired an
equal blending of the two. Your Honorable
President wished it to be distinctly understood
that no dangerous, break neck, daredevil kind
of riding was to be encouraged. Some pre-
ferred long flowing robes, and hat and veil,
giving as reason for their preference, that
long skirts were graceful, and the hat best
kept the hair in order, the veil adding sufficient
grace to make it womanly; others were firm
in their regard for short skirts, full Turkish
trowsers and boots, insisting that such dress
made up in safety what it lacked in grace
some liked straw hats; some fiat caps; indeed,
there was as great diversity of opinion cx-
pressed as there usually is when any committee
want to make platform.
Whether any were in favor of lad;e, adopt
ing the Panama Isthmus sty.e-of riding
astride, or the circus style-on one leg, with
the other describing an obtuse angle, the report
does not say. The committee, however, ex-
amined history, and came to the profound con-
clusion that riding is of Every ancient date
though very little if any known before the
food" and that the first authentic account Of
riding to some purpose was that of Rebecca
The Committee having got confused and
embarrassed in the mazes of history and scrip
ture, awarded eleven premiums, promising
other premiums next year to the unsuccessful
competitors. The first premium was for
" skilfully managing different horses" the Sc
coDd for extreme beauty with which she
sat and rode;" third, for "lady-like dignity .

fifth, for graceful stylish carriage sixth
" rapid, yet extremely beautiful riding" Sc

style;" eighth, for riding pony which was

obey his fair rider" tenth, who only require.
a little more practice to make her good
horsewoman," and eleventh, "who was not
lacking in skill and fearlessness, but who was
most unfortunate in her selection of horse.
Each of these committee men, as the wind
ing up of the exercise, should have been tied
to the apron-string Of his favorits rider and
trotted around the ring.

curiosities which were exhibited at tt State

Most have read of the lock that guards the
Rothschild banking vault, where machinery
grasps the intruder and very urcomfortably
disposes of him. There is German here, who
exhibits lock from which, if the wrong key
is used, pistol barrel with great rapidity is
sues, and the short memory about the key has
a sudden termination.
There is an old gentleman at the Brainerd
House, exhibiting what he claims as perpet-
ual motion-move it certainly does, right along,
and so far as is perceptible, without weight or
springs. 1t mystities the audience, the writer

gibe, just as the machine is. I wish some
martyr of science would for eight and forty
hours of sleepless solicitude watch it. The
