A Rich Joke.

A gentleman played of a rich joke
on his better half the other day. Be-
ing somewhat Of an epicure. he took II
into bis head that he should like TO
have irst rate dinner. So he address
ed her note politely informing her
that a gentleman other acquaintance.
an old and true friend. would dine
with her that day. AS soon as she ie-
ceived 1t. all hands went to work to
get everything in order. Precisely at
i2 o'clock she was prepared to receive
her guest. The house was as clean
as new pin, sumptuous dinner was
on the table. and she was arrayed in
her best attire. A gentle knock was
heard, and she started with palpitating
heart to the door. She thought It
must be an old friend--pcrhaps a bro
ther-from the place whence they once
moved. On opening the door she
found her husband with q smiling
cvantenance.
why, my DEAR" says she, in an
anxious tone, where is the gentleman
ofwhom you spoke in your note?'
Why replied her husband COM
placently, "here he is.'
You said a gentleman OF my acquain-
tance, an old and true friend-would
dine with us to-day
We'll. said he, 'am / not gentle
man of your acquaintance, an old and
true friend?'
Obi she cried distressingly, lis there
nobody but your
NO
We'll, declare this is too bad said
his wife in angry tone.
The husband laughed immoderately
his better half said she felt like Civ
ing him xrongue lashing-but finally
they sat down costly together, and for
once had good dinner without having
company.

gagged as counsel for Alex. Mcclure,

ferred to the Posey Circuit Court, and

that it has established a reading and

more because II was so. II grieved
him to leave this large property, 10
depart from the world as poor as he
came into il, and to enter the other
world utterly destitute Of the wealth
he so much loved in this. But he

He might have taken II with him.
Rather let us say, he might have sent
II forward in advance Of him. As the
capitalist. who contemplates moving TO

time to the land Of his future residence
so he might have made remittances to
that undiscovered country, so on his ar
rival there, he would find abundant
treasures laid up in heaven for him.

of slaves had an undoubted right to
be protected, and should always have
his assistance as Governor, but that he
could not promise to sign any bill Of
whose form and provisions he knew
nothing. Stringfcllow then demanded
that he officially recommend the legis-
lature to adjourn from Pawnee, when
they should convene. Gov. Recder
declined to make any such promise,
especially to man who did not pre-
tend to live in the Territory. Fail
ing thus, Stringfellow resorted to low,
violent, personal abuse, the Governor
meantime-whom every days expert
ence proves 10 be man of great
nerve, and deliberately brave-re-
naming cool and calm. Among 9TH
er causes OF complaint, Shingfellow
charged Gov. Reeder with having ac-
cused him of dishonorablc conduct
This the Governor denied. but said he
would now charge him with being, in
his opinion, at the head of all this ex-
element, which was both unlawful
and dishonorable.
Upon this, Stringfellow challenged
the Governorto go out and fight which
was respectfully declined as it was not
"exactly in his way" whereupon
Stringfellow arose, and pushed the
Governor over in his chair, and scuf-
fie ersued, in which the Governor was
slightly scratched, He succeeded,
however, in casting his adversary of.
By this time the affair began to be
serious, both gentleman having rose
and drawn their pistols, when, oppor-
tunely, Mr.. Isaacs and another gen.
tleman seized Stringfellow just as the
Governor was about pulling trigger on
him, when the Governor laid down his
weapon, as his antagonist was not in
condition to defend himself. Several
persons then in.erfered, and took
Stringfellow away. This morning he
again went over to the Mission. but
the Governor and his party had left
for Shawnee.
There is deliberate design appar-
ent all through this disgraceful affair
first, to induce, if possible, the Cover
nor to aid them in doing certain things
which they fear they may not be able
to do over his head, and gnot accom-
plishing that, to raise fight. which
would end in putting him out of the
way, for, had a fight ensued. and
Stringfellow been hurt, the next day
would have seen mob pouring to-
ward the Mission, bent on the annihi-
lation of the Governor, and he has q
few trustworthy friends around him,
this would not have been accomplished
without desperate struggle and Sc
rious loss Of life. In view Of this, thu

Slavery.
Rev. Theodore Clapp, Of New Or.
leans. in recent letter TO the Boston
Trumpet. says:
"But year or two before his death,
the Hon. John G. Calhoun, spent sew
eral weeks in New Orieads; saw him
often, and had lengthy conversations
with him on the Isubject Of slavery
On one occasion he spoke nearly
in the following words:-'Slavery
cannot live long in the United States.
1t will have run its race by the end Of
the next one hundred and fifty or two
hundred years. Slave labor is too
expensive to last long. Ina populous
community it must ever be disas-
trois, not only in its bearings on their
pecuniary interests, but also in many
other respects. Because in such Q
state Of society free labor is far the
cheapest, and will consequently be
preferred. According 10 an e.ernal
law Of Heaven. in the long run the
most expensive and unpropiiious forms
oflabor must be everywhere superse'
ded by the least costly and most ef
ficient."
