lets off some tall ones occasionally. He visited US
the other day in sanctum, with
" How do you do, old fellow I"
Halow, Tom," said we, I" where have you been
so long"
"Why, sir, l have been down on Seven River, in
Anne Arundel County, taking Shanghai notes on the
chiIls and fever
"Ah, indeed,'' sid we, are they very bad down
there?'
Rather bad, said Tom, drily. "There is one
place where they have been attempting to build a
brick house for eight weeks-wel the other day, as
the hands were putting up the bricks preparatory TO
finishing it, they were taken with chill, and shook
the whole building completely down, and kept on
shaking till the bricks dust Of the finest quail
tv! Just at this juncture, the chills came with
renewed force, and they commenced shaking up the
dust with such guslu that they were entirely OBJ
scured for two hours, and the people of the mel gh
borhood thought the sun was in an eclipse"
" Can't believe anything like that, Tom"
It's fact" said Tom, and resumed
There's farmer down there, who, in apple pick.
ing season, hauls his nggers out 10 the orchard and
sets one UP against each tree In short time the
chill comes on, and every apple in the orchard is
shaken off the trees on to the ground"
"In3redible !" said we, holding our sides with both
hands
Fact" said TOm, they keep man alongside O.
each negro to take him away the trdit II
! off. for fear he will shake the tree down"
Tom continued, Mr.. S, a friend of mine
and a house carpenter, engaged few days age
in covering the roof of house with shingles. JUS
as he was finishing the chill came and he shook
every shingle off the roof. Some of them are sup
posed to be flying about YETI
! 'Anolher gentleman near The same place, was ia
ken with chill the other day at dinner, and shool
his knife and fork down his throat besides breaking
all the crockery ware the table. His little son
who was sitting al the table at the time, was
taken with chill and shook ali the buttons off hi
inexnrp,sbles and then shook himself clear of them
We then prevailed upon Tom to desist who did so
with the understanding that he was to give US tn
balance al some other time.

vote which elected the Speaker, discloses to the
South Americans, SO called, the amentable truth,
that in Congress- at least, their nationality as party
is limited to the south side of Mason and Dixon's
line and the Ohio river; and that their Northern
brehren euea of national type, incine to frGternize
rather qcth Gddings of Ohio, than 10th the Marshas
of Kentucky.
The question which next recurs is, how is this
condition of things to be mended at the Philadelphia
National Councils Of the 18th and 22d of February
The work there to be done is the practical re-organ
cation of the American party throughout the Union,
or its formal dissolution among the sectional and
local factions and loose materials of the country

MIR. SPEAKER BANKs-The Hon. Nathaniel P
Banks, Jr., the new Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives, is thus described by a writer:
" Mr. Banks personal appearance somewhat re
sembles that of Senator Seward, though more
youthful and handsome looking man than that dis
tinguished statesman He is of medium heig hit, anC
slimlv built, with pale face, keen eye, intellec
ual forehead frsky hair of iron grey mixture, stand
ing erect as an Indian, walking with the measured
and courtly air OF prince, and having Wlthal ;
stilted stiffness about him, which some have des
crbed CLERICAL and others Puritanic,' bu
which, be it what it may, Enthusiastically ndicates Il
my mind that with him the intellectual faculties pre-
dominate, and that in social life he is cold lei
Gle Judging him by his appearance, he would yer,
naturally be taken spr'g of the aristocracy o
the so-called Athens of America, instead of mai
of the people, and recent workman in the machin
shop. He has the air. says one writer and he say
, SO with some truth, OF New England clergyman
pacing the deck of steamer which he expects ever
minute to be blown up. His appearance, in worC
marks him as a man of note. Though stiff and cold
he is yet forbiddng in his manners, and his pei
sonal demeanor resembles much the lofty condo
scendng dignity, yet cou teous and urban
manner, of the polished and elegant Winthrop. H
is native of Massachusetts, and represents the sew
enth Congressional District of that State, being Dor
at Watham, in the county of Mddlesex, in January
1876 and is therefore now forty years of age Hi
habits excellent, and his private character pnr
and unspoted."
