hours Of intensely hard work When Mr..
Wheeler commenced the performance o. this
feat, he weighed l75 IL pounds. aud at its
close weighed Ill . pounds, having lost
four pounds 10 the space of 10 hours As he
is in constant practice. and therefore has

r.. st.tesm.n Comforts Itself.

A great thing is comfort, especially
in adversely. 1t is comfort when one
is sick with fever, to have ones head
bolstered up with soft pillows and to
have ones thirst relieved by iced lem
onade sucked through straw. 1t is
likewise great comfort to have ones
sinking hope bolstcred up with little
"soft sawder" from afar, and to have
ones raging thirst for success allay-
ed by a little cool draught from
fellow sufferers concoction Of cool cal
culations. The feverish editors of the
Statesman feel this, and oh with what
avidity do they suck "cool comforts"
through the struggling straws of hope
which they grasp in their efforts to
keep their sinking heads above water.
The Statesman finds comfort in the
"Confercnce Committee" and says
timidly,
"The action Of the conference com.
mittee, it was believed, would finally
result favorably to the administration
party, and it is more than probable
! that such would have been the news
received by the late steamer, had i,
not been for the indisposition of Mr.
Stephens"
| The Statesman also finds consolation
in the remarks of the Pennsylvainian
and after quoting sundry comforting
remarks Of that paper concerning Mr.
Broderick, adds,
"We understand from the sam
journal, that at the last advices Mr.
McKibbcn still held out, although W
have reason to believe that he will thin
better of the matter after he shall hav
perused the mullatto constitution"
"Blcssed are the poor in heart, 70
they shall be comfortcd !"
