An Arkansas LBGISLAToR.-A member
elect of the lower chamber Of the Lcgisla-
ture Of Arkansas, was persuaded by some
wags of his neighborhood, that if no did
not reach the State House at 10 o'clock on
the day Ofassembling, he could not be sworn
and would lose his seat. He Immediately
mounted, with hunting frock, rifle and bow
lie knife, and spurred till he got to the capt.
tol, where he hitchcd his nag. a crowd
was in the chamber of the lower house, on
the ground floor, walking about with their
hats on, and smoking cigars. These he
passed, ran up stairs into the Senate Cham
Der, set his rifle against the wall, and bawl-
ed out:
"Strangers, whar's the man that swear
me in?" at the same time taking out his
credentials.
"Walk this way" said the clerk, who
was at the moment igniting real Princi-
pee, and he was sworn without inquiry.
When the teller came to count noses, he
found there was one Senator too many
present. The mistake was soon discovered,
and the huntsman was informed that he did
not belong there.
"Fool rhO, with your corn bread?" he
reared; "you can't funk this child, no how
you can fix tim elected to this ere Iegis-
lature, and III 60 agin all banks and eter-
nal improvements, and if there's any ofyour
oratory gentleman wants to get skinned,
Jest say the word, and I'll light upon you
like niger on the wood-chuck. My con-
stituents sent me here, and if you want to
door this two-legged animal, hop on, just
as soon as you like, for though I'm from
the back country, I'm little smarter than
any other quadruped you can turn out Of
this drove"
After this admirable harangue, he put
his bowie knife between his teeth, and took
up his rifle, with Come here, old Suke
stand by me?" at the same time pointing
at the Chairman, who, however, had seen
such people before. After some expostula-
ton, the man was persuaded that he be-
longed to the lower chamber, upon which
he sheathed his knife, flung his gun on his
shoulder, and with profound cOngee, re-
marked:
"Gcntlemcn, 1 beg your pardon. But
If didn't think that lower room was n
groggery, may l be shot"

Mr.. FBsEyDEy IN THE U. s. SUPREME
CouRr. Mr.. Schouler, the former distin-
guished editor of the Boston Atlas, writes to
that paper the following account Of case
now before the Supreme Court at Washing
ton:
"John Kittredge, the testator. devised all
his lands in Andover, in IT'S, to his two
sons, John and Jacob, to be equally divided
between them, and he said it was his will
that If either of them died without heirs Of
their own, then the share Of him who should
first die should accrue to the survivor and
his heirs. The question for the Court to de-
eide is, what kind of an estate did the tesla
tor give to his two sons? The plaintiff, who
is Mrs. Abbott, wife Of James A. Abbott, Of
Boston, claims that il was an estate tail,
and the defendants, who are the Essex Com
pany. that 1t was an estate in fee simple,
subject to the contingency, that If either
John or Jacob died in the life time Of the
other, the survivor should take the whole
estate. The facts were, that Jacob died first,
leaving lawful issue, of whom Mrs. Abbott
is the remaining child, she being the grand
daughter Of acob; and John Kittredge died
without lawful issue, having never married.
understand that there is about fifty acres
of land involved in the case, which is locat-
ell in the aourishing manufacturing city OF
Lawrence, and is therefore quite valuable
The case was argued for the Essex Company
by Charles G. Loring and Z. Mcrwin, Esqs.,
and by James a. Abbott, and Hon. William
Pitt Fessenden, U. s. Senator from Maine,
Tor the plaintiff. The arguments on both
sides were exceedingly able, and exhibited
great research and learning of the musty
folios on real estate law. The argument OF
Mr.. Fcssenden struck me as Of great power.
His mind is eminently logical and clear, and
he brought his whole strength to bear upon
the case. He is pleasant speaker; there is
an air of repose about him which impresses
one f,voably, and fits him admirably for
Senatorial debate, and for the discussion OF
great principles, before grave and learned
Court, like that of the United States.
had never before heard Mr.. Fessenden speak,
though well acquainted with his history,
and deeply impressed with his sterling abil-
lily. He not only equallcd, but exceeded
my expectations. The people of Maine
have reason to be proud of their Senator"

"The publication of the Diary of Amos

in the way il was told by Father Taylor Of
Bos,otf On the occasion Of an anniversary

have this day seen Mr.. Amos Lawrcnce's
pocket-boOk. 1t is such a pOcket-book as
was never made before. On one fold Of it
is printed, IN gilt letters, "What shall it
profit man If he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul!", You open another fold
and read, a. The gold is mine, saith the Lord
Of hosts" On still another fold is printed,
{" He that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the
Lord" asked Mr.. Lawrence what all
this was for. He told me that he had re-
membered that as men grow old, the some
times grew selfish, and every time he look
ed TO his money he wanted to be reminded
Of the great principles Of the Gospel, by
which he ought to hold and use his worldly
goods; and therefore he kept money in
each of those folds Of his pOcket-bOok for
all good uses which Divine Providence might
suggest. NOy. Mr.. Chairman, what are
you going to do with a man who carries
sueha book as that in his pocket? Do you
mean to send him to hell? Do you think
the devil and his angels would permit a man
with principles like these to enter his dOmin-

hell would make an uprOar and revolution
