Disconeerting an Orator.-It is an as

sometimes disconcert man who is accus-
toned to speak in public, and to have his
thoughts about him, and ready at command
on almost all occasions.

stump" said a distinguished Western po-
litical orator to us recently, "and was just
beginning to warm with my subject, when

it will yield more stalks, fodder, and grain,

labor, in any season, and return moro litter

universal food for man and beast, in trol,-
icaI climates, it may be justly considered
cne of the most valuable of the Ccrc;.lia,
There is diversity of opinion whether this
plant cxhausts the land. AS broom corn is
considered as exhausting, so may this be;
but am inclined to believe that it is not,
since it returns so much vegetable n,attcp

amount Of grain removed. 1t decays very
slowly, requiring a year to do SO if al.

M"rringe Nth a deceased Wifes Sister.
Lord Ardmillan has pronounced Judgment
upon this important question. The case
was ono which involved the right to the
succession Of an estate in the county of
Lintithgow, which was claimed by AIexan-
der Livingstone, the son Of a marriage Gel
ebrated in London between his father and
woman, who was the sister of former wife,
deceased. The parents having been domi-
cilcd in England at the date of the mari
age, Lord Ardmillan holds tha the child,
being legitimate according to the law of
the domicile at the date of the marriage,
the child must be taken rs legitimate all
the world over. AS to the second point,
his lordslip holds that the connection is
not incestuous by the law of Scotland, al
though Presbyterian ministers, bound by
the Confession of Faith, may be liable to
ecclesiastical censure if they solemnize it.
The result is, that his lordship has preferred
Alex. Livingstone, the issue TO connexion,
ia the competition for the property.-Lon-

n Man Of Boaes.-Hcre is curious
fact for you-the flesh Of living" man
once grew into bones. It seems hard to
believe, but suppose it was SO for, in the
Museum at Dublin, Ireland, there is, or
was, skeleton Of one Clerk, native of the
city Of Cork, whom they call the Ossified
Man, one of the greatest curiosities of ma
ture. 1t is the carcass of man entirely
ossiied during his lifetime, living in that
condition for several years. Those who
knew him before this surprising alteration,
affirm tLst he had been man of great
strength and agility. He felt the first
symptoms of this surprising change some
time after debauch till, by slow degrees,
every part grew into bony substance, ex-
ccpt his skin, eyes and intestines his joints
settled in such manner that no ligament
had its proper operation he could not lie
down or rise up without assistance. He
had at last no bend in his body, yet when
lie was placed upright, like statue of stone,
he could stand, but could not move in the
least His teeth we're Joined, and formed
iuto one entire bone; therefore hole was
broken through them to convey liquid sub
stance for his nourishment. The tongue
lost its Use, and bis sight left some time be.

~ The Kansas Freeman says that the
officers are rather puzzled how to apply a
provision Of the law, in that Territory, re-
lating to the right Of Indians to vote. The
law says that Indians who have "adopted
the habits of white men" shall vote. and
the difficulty is to settle what shall be suffi-
cient proof Of such adoption. The last
one suggested is that the y aborigyne" shall
be made to drink pint Of raw Kansas

Live Goose VS.. Ladies' Legs.

The following funny little story is taken
from a late English paper. Whether il;
contains moral or not, we cannot say,
but we couldn't help laughing as we read
it. Let the reader say-the male reader,
we mean, for ladies arc requested to skip it.
Here it is:
GA singular affair occurred on the Wear
Valley Railroad, (Durlnam,) the other day.
A gentleman from Birmingham found him
self seated i'll a carriage, his ris-a-r's, and
the only passenger i'll that compartment Of
the carriage, being a blooming lady, an
swerng to the allitcrative description Of
'fat, fair and forty The train had scarcely
moved one hundred yards from the station
before the lady leaped from her scat and
exclaimed to the other passenger. 'IIow
dare you, sir! What do you mean!' The
gentleman, astonisl,ed, replied that The did
harm her. Again and again she sprang
up in apparent terror and rage, and declared
with vchemcnce that her neighLor was Il
villain, and she would have him taken into
custody at the next station The gentle
man protested his innocence, and asked
what he Lad done but the eccentric lady
still kept lcaping from her scat, raving
against his treatment, till the gentleman
decided that she was mad, aud resolved on
the arrival of the train al the next station
to give her into custody. As her ccccn-
tricity did not abate, nor her rage either,
on the arrival Of the train at one Of the
stations, he WAS about to carry his resolu-
ton into action, when she suddenly sprang
to the door and screamed out, Guard
guard " at the top Of her voice, aid pres
emily collected not only the guard but a
crowd of people around her. She then
commenced her accusation in words both
loud and deep, protesting that the gentle
man had improperly pinchcd her legs, and
the gentleman, Mortified at the charge, pro-
testing with equal vcl,cmence his perfect
innocence. At this junclurc, when matters
looked serious for the gentleman, the guard
happened TO recollect that he had placed
basket under the seat of the carriage con-
tanning live goose, and pulling it out
the mystery was explained, the bird being
the criminal, and having caused the lady's
fears and the geutIeman's apprchcn>ions.-
This explanation WAS received with perfect
good humor and satisfaction by the parties
concerned, and the train renewed its journey
amid the convuisvc laughter and applause
of the assembled multitude.

'Ah ha" said to myself, as looked into
his laughing eyes, the affair is settled at last
But it wasn't; for ten minutes had scarcely
elapsed, when Pat rushed into the cabin
without sign or ceremony, and, snatching up
the baby in his arms, cried out:
It's no use, I've been talking to Mary, an
we can't do it, Look at him, sir; he's the
youngest and the best of the batch You

Disorganizors--- The Responsible Party

=
Some Of the Fusion papers have charged
that the Democratic members of Congress
were the disorganzers-tha upon them
rested the blame Of the House not organizing.
Silly as this charge is, it has been reiterated
through the country by men who lay some
claims to trpthfulness and sense. There
are some Of the Opposition editors, however,
who are willing to own up, and acknowledge
that upon the Opposition to the Democracy
rests the whole responsibility Of organizing
the House, and that they must be held to
account for the great waste Of time and
money already perpetrated. The Ohio State
Journal, n Fuson-Opposition paper, thus
alludes to this subject:
ave cheerfuly agree that the Admins
tration members are not in any respect
responsible for this delay. The majority OF
the House is largely against them. They
have selected their man. and, on every ballot,
they give him their entire strength, seventy
five votes. 1t belongs to the Opposition to
organize that body. The country expects
and has a right to expect it from them.
They will be held to a strict accountability
for the delay"
Yes the country will hold the Opposition n
to "strict Accountability for the delay.
The Opposition fanatics are squanderlng the
peoples money in mere strife as to which
faction shall be uppermost. Truly, the
people committed a grand mistake when
they elected such set OF halr-bralned
fanatics to the House,

people in the upper branch of the Legisla-
turo, wero making the welkin ring with
horrible noise. They were on a"laril, "and
went it freely. Boxes Of bottled porter and
match-boxes on J street suffered severely as
they were strewn around Unfortunately
Carpets and dry goods boxes on X were
tossed into the streets. The police were
around, but soon ascertained that the boys
we're farther up in the pictures of the dark
Ianterners than they, and, as a matter OF
course, dare not and did not interfere with
the sport. Because Of the kind feelings We
have towards the young gentlemen, we with

bills for the damage done will be sent them
which, if they do not satisfy, may lead to
publicity. Vipe Ia Hye Eye!
