shrewd and cheap manner:
SUDDEN CoNvERsIoN.-The Southern
journals follow the lead of Senator
Mason, and are now as earnest agains,
a war with England as they were
originally in favor Of it. The extraor.
binary eagerness of Senators Hale,
Seward, Wilson, and other Northern
men for immediate hostilities, is sup.
posed to have abated their ardor.

been exceedingly "stai for war" ever

was a game of political brag, at which
the Black Republicans proved to be
the best players.

Father of Thomas Jefferson

In Randal's biography ofThomas Jefferson
just issued from the press, we find the follow
ing reference to the father of the distinguish
ed author of the Declaration ofIndependence:
He was Of gigantic stature-plain, and ad-
verse to dispay-he was grave, taciturn. slow
to make, and not over prompt to accept ad-
vances. He was one of those calm and
almost sternly selfrelying men, who lean on
none-who desire he p from none And he
certainly Lad both muscle and mind which
could be trusted! He could simultaneously
"head up (raise from their sides to an up
right position) two hogsheads of tobacco,
weighing neary a thousand pounds apiece.
He once directed three able-boded slaves to
pull down a ruinous shed by means of rope.
After they had again and again made the
effort, he bade then stand aside, seized the
rope, dragged down the structure in an in
slant. Traditions have come down of his
continuing his lines as surveyor through
savage wildernesses after his assistants had
given out from famine and fatigue, subsisting
on the raw flesh Of game, and even of his
pack mules, when other food failed.
