A correspondent Of the Cairo Oil.
paper gets off the following genuine
specimen of big talking. 1t beats Dayy
Crockett;
John Waterbury, a brakesman on Tom
Fay's train, is an original genius and a
remarkable man; his weight is two hun
bred and eighty raw boned, with a dan
gerous spread in his stihe, broad should
cred, strong jawed with fist that has
half horse power When they whistle
down breaks, he brings up the train so
sudden that it often breaks the coupling
chains. When he eats be takes enough
for six men, and he drinks whiskey out
of quart cup, then knocks the landlord
through board fence or inside of house
if he wants any pay. lie is under five
hundred dollar bond not to strike man
at Sandoyal for fear of injuring the build
ings, they being slightly built. His hair
is as coarse as hay, and sticks up like
the quilts of fretful porcupine.' 1t
takes two table-cloths to wipe his nose,
and he generally feeds himself with a
scoop-shovol and pitchfork. When he
cxerts himself III trip, he accommodates
| 1 pounds and 6 ounces Of dirt and lamp
oil, and is not allowed to wash himself
in any stream smaller than the Wabash,
for fear Of the cholera
Once, when old jerks cursed him, hg
turned in and whipped nineteen men out
Of revenge. He has to ride with his
back to the car and let his toes stick over
the platform. it being too narrow for the
longth of his feet. His great toe looks
like a sea-turtlc's head, and his nose like
young robin held by the head with the
big end down, brilliant and pitted like a
strawberry; his eyes have twinkle of
good humor and fascination for the fair.
The skin Of his face lies in folds, like
the skin of rhinoceros his teeth look
like cogs to mill wheel he has to have
his hat made to order, and when he loses
1t he wears a water bucket, with the bail
under the chin lie will travel this

seen riding swiftly toward Toledo, Ohio.
Tho sun had Just set in the western hori-
zon. Twas the close, in short, Of cleo

courier from an important township in
Lucas county. The returns from every
township in the county but the one we
speak OF had been heard from at Toledo,
aud the vote of this very township was
needed to tell how the county had gone.
At length the solitary horscman arri-
we'd in Toledo. aud reigned his foaming
stced up before the Indiana House. A
big crowd Democrats and Whigs--rush-
ed eagerly around him, and shouted for
tho " news. "
" Better time, said the solitary horse
man, looking at his watch, "was never
made by live boss Fifteen miles in
thirty-two minutes! What do you think
Of THAT, gen'mcn?" asked the horseman.
"Cuss the horse" yelled the excited
crowd, how has - township gone !"
Gen'mcn, " replied the solitary horse
man, Il disremember 1t went either
Wing or Democrat, but I've been so
taken up with the speed of this ere boss,
that forgot it; but, gen'men, rising in
