Dumbfoundering.

A man of unbiemished character was
candidate for large constituency. and the
following means were used to get rid OF him:
cat q large public meeting an elector got
up and said, 4 demand the exercise of my
right to ask that candidate question. VIII
he answer me Yes or No, ike an honest
man 2 Undoubtedly I vii A most in
cautious promise, as the reader viii guess.
We'll, them said the elector, I ask that
gentleman Who killed his uasherponsaas' s'
What was the poor man to say What yes
or no could answer the question He hes
itated, he stammered the meeting was
against him, he was hustled ont of the
room, and to this day he labors under the
grave imputation in many peoples minds
of having feloniously accelerated the dsath
of some unfortunate, and perhaps nl-used
washerwonnan.

The Press.

The press is the ruling power of the
times. The age of statesmen is over, and
the age of the printing press has come
What the invention of gunpowder was to
war, making any man who could pull a trig-
ger equal to the most powerful warrior, the
press is to reading age. We have in
vented the pamphlet. We have called into
existence the fourth estate of the realm, 1t
is brains. Men sometimes think that the
great broWs at Washington control the na-
ton. So the boy who first sees q steam
boat thinks. that the waIkingbeam is the
propelhng power, but below there is s.fa-
natic'' feeding the fires Wendell Phillips.

A Witty Retort.


There is story on record of an archi-
tect repudiating any connection with the
building fraternity, in the case of the late
eminent and talented Mr.. Alexander, the
architect of the Rochester bridge, and sew
eral other fine buildings in the county of
Kent. He was under cross examination, in
a special jury case at Maidstone, by Sar-
geant afterwards Baron) GaFrow, who
wished to detfact from the weight of his
testimony, and who, after asking him what
his name was, proceeded thus:
"You are builder, l believe 2"
81 No sir; am not builder-I ann an
architect
"Ah, well |! Architect or builder, builder
or architect, they are much the same I
suppose
II beg your pardon, sir, cannot admit
that; 1 consider them totally different
.'Oh, indeed perhaps you viii state
wherein this great difference consists 2"
can architect, sir, prepares the plans,
conceives the designs, draws out the speci-
ications-in short, supplies the mind. The
builder is merely the bricklayer or carpen-
ter-the builder, in fact, is the machine; the
architect the power that puts the machine
together and sets it going"
20, very well, Mr.. Architect, that will
do : And now, after your very ingenious
distinction without difference, perhaps you
could inform the court who was the archi-
tect of the tower of Babel ?''
And now mark the reply-which for
promptness and wit, is perhaps not to be
rivalled in the whole history of rejoinder:
''There was no architect, sir; and hence
the confusion p'

Dishonesty in pecuniary transactions
seems to have invaded every circle. The
American Sunday School Union, of PhiIa-
delphia, have published acard announcing
the defaleation of the Corresponding Sec
retary, Mr.. F. W. Porter, for an amount
believed not to exceed $50, ,e83. He has
issued notes and acceptances at various
times to that amount without entering them
upon the books of the Society.

THE VIcTssITUDEs OF C0MNERCE.-The New
York Erening Post relates the following remark
able instance of the vicisitudes of commerce:
A few months since, the partner of com
mercial house in this city was taken to lunatic
asylum. utterly deraRged, as was said, by his
unparalleled prosperity in business. During
the year previous his firm had cleared 81, ,300,-
OO0 lie died in the asylum and his own estate
was valued at s2,5O0,000, all invested in the
concern of which he was partner. The firm
itself failed the other day and is now said to be
insolvent. One item of the assets of the deeeas-
eds was thousand shares of the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad stock, which was selling at the
time of his decease at Sl40 share, and which
was worth, after paying up the installments,
ssOO.OOO. The same property sold yesterday
at public sale at $4,000.
All this occurred within eighteen months
the prosperity, the insanity, the decease and
the insolvency.
