ti-Lecompton speech of his colleague (Mr.
Gilner) who, he SHAW said, was on
its conclusion congratulated by Mr.. Gid
dings, with both hands as though he was
bestowing benediction.
Mr.. Giddings of Ohio said that Mr..
Shaw was entirely mistaken.
Mr.. Shawl saw the scene with my
own eyes. Did not the gentleman APP
proach my colleague
Mr.. Giddings-(emphaticaily)-I did
not
Mr.. Shaw-FiftecA or twenty others

ed against Mr.. Shaw, who was on the
floor, being interrupted.
This was followed by cries of order
from the Republican side, and laughter.
Mr.. Lett said that such blackguard
ism was better out Of than in the House
Mr.. Shaw repeated that there was
smile of complaisance on Mr.. Giddings
face, as he approached Mr.. Gilmer Of
that occasion. When he SHAW SHOULD
bring upon him such congratulations, h
would exclaim, What have / done tina
my enemies should praise me?"
Cries of 81 Good !'
Mr.. Giddings said there was not
word Of truth in MIR. Shaw's statement
Instead Of congratulating Mr.. Gilmel
he asked him why he had used his nam
IN connection with that of Mr.. Buchanan

q Lola Montez is telling her own
history before New York audiences at
25 cents head. 1t is entertaining in
itself and made more piquant by her
smart way of " improving" the incidents.
She says, when calling on the Emperor
Nicholas of Russia, once, some officers
came to see him, and he locked her up
in a closet of the room, where she had
to stay one hour and a half before the
intruders went away, when the emperor
gave her $3.50, saying he would always
do that when he imprisoned any of his
subjects unjustly. All!

HOUSE.
The House was mainly engaged on
private bills to-day.
Mr.. Clingman of North Carolina in
responding to a former remark of Mr..
Letter, explained that he left the Wing
party because it became abolitionized,
and since then he had found Capt. Ryn-
ders to be an honorable man who had
been badly slandered.
Mr.. Giddings recolIected when he
and Mr.. Clingman stood side by side, and
sdded that his leaving that party was for
his own good.
Mr.. Clingman replied that the gentle
mans party had been beaten ever since
he left it, and their vote on the Crittenden
substitute was good proof of their pc
nitence.
The colloqoy caused much merriment

ANEW OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

new way to pay a new debt was discovered
3 few days since, which, as the consequences
attending 1t were not Of the most agreeable
Kind to one OF the parties concerned, it may be
well that the public should know something of
the modes OBeTdHdI, and individuals be warn
ed against similar liquidation of claims
A Agentlemanly-lOoking person called one day
the early part of the present week at q fashion
able boarding house in Eighth street Clinton
Place. to look at rooms, learn the cost Of
boarding, and to make such general inquiries
as those seeking the comforts of home usu-
ally do. The appearance of things was salts
factory, and the excellent landlady had every
prospect of securing valuable addition to her
family. The bargain, however, was not quite
consummated, and the applicant as is frequent
ly the case, we believe, promised to call ON the
morrow and complete the arrangements
He called as he had promised, with an up
bOlsterer to measure for carpets, curtains, &c,
gave directions how to place the furniture
which would soon be along-hOw to lay the
carpet without cutting, it bong an expensive
oBe-how to arrange the curtains, and how all
things were to be disposed of to tho best ad-
vantage, for securing his comfort and enjoy
ment.
Much Of this necessary conversation was car
ried on near the parlOr door, and at times in
the hall-so that he had most of tho time his
eye on the outer door.
At length the door bell rang-a man with
package was admitted, whom the new boarder
seemed rather pleased to see. He was care
lessly invited into the parlor, just as any other
owner Of a fine house would do, and the man
was asked if he had the bill. The package was
laid upon the table-the bill presented to the
gentleman of the house, who exam; ned it. found
1t all right, counted out 800 and paid it, put
the receipted bill in his pocket-and the man,
plus $400, left. The gentleman, after giving
some further directions about his baggage,
which would soon arrive, left also and has not
yet returned-neither has his furniture, bag
gage, 6e., been received at the house; but a
second call was made by the young man (who
proved to be clerk in jewelry store) with
several policemen, who were exceedingly an
xious to find the gentlemanly occupant of the
house, as they supposed him to be, but of course
met with no success.
The history Of the affair was this The gen
tleman seeking board was a cOunterloiter or
passer of counterfeit bills. lie had purchased
S4O0 worth Of watches had them sent to this
house, to arrive at a certain hour which of
course was duly complied with and the bill
presented was paid with eight nicely engraved,
handsome looking $50 bogus bank notes, which
discovery was made after the clerk had reached
the store of his employers-thus giving the
gentleman seeking board a good start in the
race.
This was altogether a shrewd operation, and
one by which most any person would be likely
to be imposed upOn.-N. L. Nevs

A NEW CoIN-Did our readers ever think of
the convenience that would arise from q seren-
cent coin! In the present abundance of cur
rency of Small denominations, it would obyiate
the necessity entirely of the use of cents A
four-eent coin would answer the same purpose
but there are objections to the size Of a coin of
this value, inasmuch as it would involve the
necessity of an increased emission Of small coin,
and, besides, would be so nearly the size of a
fyo-cent piece, that mistakes would be likely
10 occur. Bat these objections would not apply
to a seven-oent piece. The present amount OF
specie in small demon nations would be amply
sufficient Tor purposes Of change, while a sever :
ceEt piece, being a medium between n five and
ten cent piece, would not easily be mistaken for
either. To illustrate with what facility a seven
cent piece would supersede the use Of cents at
best necessary evil, suppose you wish to pay
one cent, you give seyen-ceut piece and re-
ceiye two threo-cent pieces; If two cents, a sew
en- and five or FIVE and three are exchanged:
three, three-cent piece; four, a seven and
three; five, 1ive-cent piece six two three ee nj
pieces; seven, seven-cent piece; eight a five
and three; nine, three threes; ten, ten; clever
a i've and two threes; twelve, @ seven and five;
thirteen, u seven and two threes fourteen. two
seyens; fifteen, ten and five; sixteen a ten
and two threes, or a seven and three threes;

The other morning, when the breakfast table
Of the principal hotel of the city was crowded
with guests breaking their fasts, an incautious
rat ran from his hiding place out upon the
foor. The temptation was too strong for the
sporting fsncies of a gentleman from the eoun-
try, who was eating at the table; and sprinsing
up, he grasped the chair upon which he had
been sitting, and dashed after the rat, striking
at it fercely with the chair, amid the cheers
and laughter of the assemblage. After hard
chase several times round the room, in prosecu-
ting which be was wholly absorbed, he sue
seeded In dispatching the rat and reducing the
chair to very riekety condition. Seizng the
defunct vermin by the tail, he held it up, tri-
umphantly looking round at the spectators for
their cOmmendation. But alas his excitement
and hotbloOd were cooling, so that he thought
he detected not a very hattering expression in
the laughter and countenances Of the many
present, and suddenly awaking to the ridicu
lOus character Of his position. he hurled the
rat violently and disdainfully from him. and
made straight track for the door nagnani

Cot BENToN's RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES

full of the Benton obsequies, which took place
on that day. In the course of the funeral ser
mon-preached by Rev. Mr.. Cowan, of Caron-
delet.the following incident, illustrative of
lated: ~
The deceased has always been a believer
In the truth Of the Christian religion He was
not one oil those who supposed it necessary to
repudiate the Christian religion as an evidence
OF superior intellect. He was trained by a
pLous mother, who was an Epscopaian, and +,
whom he was Indebted, in a great degree, for
his distinction in subsequent life In the kind
providence of God, he has, moreover, been
favored in having for his intimate friends, those
who feared God, and cared for his soul His
salnted wife was devoted Christian, and al
ways felt deep concern for his spiritual inter-
ests Your former beloved pastor, Dr. Potts,
lett no opportunity unimproved in an cndeavor
to bring him to Christ. He corresponded with
him in regard to religion, and doubtless made
him the subject OF his prayers, as long as God
lett him on earth to be thus engaged. The
mind Of the deceased doubtless has long been
interested In greater or less degree, on the
matter OF his salvation. 1t may not be i'm
proper to mention n circumstance which oc-
Cured In the year 1851. L was engaged in a
protracted meeting, in Scott county in the
town Of Benton. The deceased visited the
place during the meeting. He attended the
exercise which took place during his stay in
town. He listened attentively to the sermon
My text was, almost thou persuadest me to
be Christian At the close, he came up and
took me by the hand and placing his mouth
close to my ear, he remarked, in allu sion to nv
text, It's all my own case-it is all my own
case, and burst into flood of tears Those,
therefore, who have intimately known his his
tory, especially IN the later years of his life,
have not been surprised at the happy termna-
ton OF his earthly career. They have been
expecting it, and have not been disappointed
