THE SKYRocKEr BRAND.-A man trav-
cling, entered tavern, and seeing no one
present but the landlord and a negro, seated
himself and entered into conversation with
the negro. Shortly, he asked Sambo, if he
was dry? Sambo said he was. Stranger
told him to 90 to the bar and take something
at his expense, negro did go, and shortly
left. Landlord says to the stranger
sAre you acquainted with that niger?
sNo, never saw him before; but why do
you ask?'
Il supposed so from your conversing with
him and asking him to drink D..
sOh,' said the stranger, Il was only ex-
perimenting. The fact is, was dry my
SELF and thought that if your liquor didn't
kill the negro in fifteen minutes, [ would
venture to take drink myself
Landlords curiosity fully satisfied.

PARsoN BRowNLow.-The last Knox
vile Wing contains a characteristic and
pathetic appeal from its editor to his former
customers at Jonesboro, where the Whig
was originally published He offers to take
bills on the Bank of East Tennessee, which
are worth twenty cents to the dollar, in full
payment, and adds:
Persons wishing to square up with us can
now do so. If, however, they wish to get
off at cheaper rate, they can withhold even
these bills, and We promise during the COM
ing year to receipt them in full through the
paper, forever, and file our claims against
them in the High Chancery of Heaven, and
let them settle with their God in the world
to come.
sAud to leave all without excuse, we fur
ther agree to take Shanghai chickens, hoop
skirts, boot jacks, broom corn, baby;jumpers,
fishing tackles, patent medicines, sucking
pigs, frozen cabbage, old clothes, Colts re-
volvers, second hand tooth brushes, ginger
cakes, parched corn, circus tickets, or any
other article found in country retail store.
