ANECDOTES OF STUMP SPEAKING.

The system of canvassing and elpctioneerIng
as it is carried on in the Southwest, affords much
that is amusing as we'll as instructive. We find
IL the Editors Drawer, of Harper for Deem
Der, rich joke said to have occurred in can
vass in Tennessee, between the Hon. Cave
johnson and Major Gustavus \. Henry. As
the story runs, Major H., in reply to an aIIusioa
of his opponent as to his manner of shaking
bands, said
Il will tell YOU little anecdote Illustrative
of the peculiar electioneering abilities Of my
honorable friend in hls Intercourse with our
iniplliyent constituents. We were canvassHg
in remote part the district, and, having an
appointment to speak near the house Of very
influential Squire, we spent the previous night
at his house together. II was we'll known that
thu. Squire controlled all the votes in that
precinct. and that his better half controlled him,
so that it, was all important 10 get on the right
side Of her. We had agreed not 10 rircti0neer
with the Squrt while We stalI wth him; but
did not think this forbade me 10 do GY b-st
with fis family. So rose about da Yhreak the
next morning, and, thinking that should MAKE
friends with the mistress of thp house bg bringing
water to cook the breakfast took bucket and
started of for the spring. was tripping OF
on licht fantastic toe singing meTriIy as

else. and his long locks streaming in the breez9
was holding the cow by ttp tail saw in an
instant that be had the start Of me. returned
TO the honse discomGtted, and abandoned all
hope of vote in that region"
This reminds us of good thing that occur
red in Marshall county, in this State. A young
Fillmore orator, who was also editor of the
Fillmore organ in that county, made speech at
the little village of Chulahoma, in the course
of which he charged Mr.. Buchanan with being
in favor of 'sqnatter sovereigniv.' The speaker
on the opposite side was the Hon. J. W. e,
member oi the Legislature, and IN
the course of his reply, he turns to his opponent
and inquiries, did you say hlr. Buchanan was
in favor of sqnatter sovereignty 'l did, re-
plied the Fillmore man. why, you don't call
this squatter sovereignty, do yon 2 saws Mr. O.

turning TO the audience: ALLOW mr to inform

cessary TO say that there was no great number
of Fillmore votes made there that day IT IS

WHO is AFRAIDOF A LION!

Dr. Livingston SAYS. when the breeding impulse
is upon these animals, and man happens TO
pass to windward of them, both lion and lioness
viii rush at him, but under ordinary circumstan-
ces the lion is a COW ardlv animal, and never
attacks man except straltbilv, unless wonndpd.

Of lions, which had evidently beea afraid 10
attack the battered horse fro ~ the fear that the
whole thing was a snare. Ii is common belief
says Dr.. L. that the lion When he has once
tasted hnman flesh, prefers it 10 any other, bnt
the real state Of The case is that man eater is
always an old lion, who has grown too in6rm to

BEAU HICKMAN IN COURT.

The New York correspondent of the PhiIa,
eiPhla Mercury has the following in regard tc
pr distinguished fnancier, Beau Hickman
So, who visited New York lately to regulate
lonetary affairs in that quarter:
Il rich scene came off the other day in the
sarine Court. Your readers will all remem-
nr the celebrated Beau Hickman. Beau has
gen staying here for some weeks past, at the
florence Hotel, where his bills are paid by his
iIehds IN the gambling and sporting lines. On
! 'ursday, Beau was subpenaed as a witness in
ineaoove court. The attorney on the opposite
If'ae was regular Tartar. He prides himself
upon his skill in examining witnesses, and
GAINS that be can confuse a witness more sue
cFsiuliy than any other member Of the bar.
.~pe OF his methods Of doing this is, when the
witness hesIlates, to snap at him like an angry
FFrief, worry and abuse him for his hesitation,
iha then seek to coniound and embarrass him.
Before tbs man Beau was brought up for
FosS examination. Bean took the stand, and
slter gtVIng his testimony in very mild and
fnId manner, was handed over for cross ques-
sonlng TO this sharp lawyer He had, in his
arect testimony, affirmed that the sharp law
yer's client had 'no money whatever The
qeunselIor, with a look at Beau such as hun
gfy dog gives at a bone, asked:
