Dan Marble and the Englishman
BIG STORY TELLING.

BIG STORY TELLING.
We were once on steamer along with
the late excellent comedian. Dan Marble
Of course there was some big ''story tell
ing" during that trip. Among Dams audi
tors was an English gentleman ''on the tour
of America" He seemed particularly wide
awake to all Dan said, for the tourists note
book was in frequent use to catch the good
things that fell from the "Live Yankees"
lips. Observing this, Dan ssspotted his
man." and began the relation of a series of
adventures and experiences which literally
''astonished the natives" though these lat-
ter gentlemen, seeing the drift Of the joke,
preserved serious faces There were tales
of horror, and Of real tragedies, in which
the narrator had ''played'' leading part !;
there were deeds and hairbreadth 'scapes by
sea and land there was the incident of the
mother who devoured her own child all of
which the astonished traveller seems to cred
it with some implicit faith. At length Mr..
Marble, apparently tired of rehearsing his
adventures, descended TO topics of the day
He adverted to the fact that alligators had
been found to be very useful animals, and
CooOOA oAAoV oAOy VCiCs o0 UudU t1uC, dCUudlly
employed as mail carriers between St..
Louis and New Orleans. He said passen-
ger on steamer would occasionally see a
negro, with mailbag across his shoulder,
going up or down the river, at a speed of
60 or 20 miles an hour-an alligator being
the ''horse." So docile had the tsanimals'
become, that it was probable they would be
introduced as mail carriers in all the rivers
of this country! All this the audience heard,
with every muscle of the face strained to
subjection. The tourist beckoi1ed to Mar
BILE at the end of this narration, and the two
went out together. All were now on the
qua viue as to ''what was up" Dan return
ed, after a while, with a face radiant with
smiles. It was evident he had s.won.''-
He finally explained: ''The Englishman
asked if what he had related was a solemn
fact? Yankee replied, 'pon honor it was :?
Englishman then said if Yankee would write
down the particulars of the circumstances,
for his use in work he was. preparing on
American Features under English Scruti-
n.y. that he would pay five pounds for the
accommodation. Yankee replied, an Amer
lean gentleman would disdain to accapt mo-

THE THRONE OF SOLOMON.

our readers was translated by Capt. w
Franklin from a Persian manuscript entitled
Beet al maazsuds, or history of Jerusalem
and will be found in the first volume of tn,
"Oriental Collections" To the Mason i
may be interesting, as giving some idea O
the exaggerated splendors which Eastern i'm
agination throws around all that relates tx
our ancient Grand Master. The real Masor
knows that the true throne of King Solomon
was Divine Wisdom:
s'The sides of it were pure gold, the feet
OF emerald and rubies, intermixed with
pearls, each of which was as large as an os-
trich's egg. The throne had seven steps
on each side were delineated orchards full oi
trees, the branches of which were Of preci-
GUS stones, representing fruit, ripe and un-
ripe; on the tops of the trees were to be
seen the figures of plumage birds, particu-
larly the peacock, the etaub and kurges-
All these birds were followed within arti6-
cially, so as to occasionally utter a thousand
melodious sounds, such as the ears of NOR
tails never before heard. On the first step
were delineated vine branches, having bunch
es of grapes composed of various colors-of
purple, violet, green and red-so as to rem
der the appearance of real fruit. On the
second step on each side of the throne, were
two lions Of terrible-aspect, as large as life,
and formed of cast gold
such that when Solomon placed his foot on
the first step the birds spread forth their
wings, and make futtering noise in the
air. On his touching the second step the
lions extended their claws. On his reach
ing the third step the whole assembly of de-
mons, and fairies, and men repeated the
praise Of the Deity. When he arrived at
the fourth step voices were heard addressing
him in the following manner Son of Da-
vid be thankful for the blessings which the
Almighty has bestowed upon theep The
same was repeated on his reaching the fifth
step. On his reaching the sixth step all
the children Of Israel joined them; and on
his arriving at the seventh, and the throne,
the birds and animals became in motion, and
ceased not until he had placed himself on
= soyal.seat. when the birds, lions, and
a shower of lost precious perfumes on Sol
ed and placed the golden crown on his head.
''Before the throne was column of bur-
nished gold, on the top of which was a gold
en- dove, which held in it's beak volume
bound in silver In this book were written
the Psalms of David, and the dove having
presented it to the King, he read aloud
portion of it to the children of Israel. It is
further related that on the approach of wick
ed persons to the throne, the lions were wont
to set up a terrible roarings and to lash their
tails with violence; the birds also began to
bristle up their feathers, and the assembly
of demons and genii to utter horrid cries !;
SO, for fear Of them, no one dared to be gull
ty of falsehood, but all confessed their crimes
Such was the throne of Solomon, the Son of
David"

ney for such service but said it was Gus
tomary, when a courtesy was to be return

gone to the steward, and ordered such re-

to bed drunk, to awake the next morning
and find his guests departed. We have
looked in vain for that promised book and

POINTS OF Coon HoRsE-In purchas-
ing good horse, sight, wind, feet and limbs
must be the uppermost objects of inquiry;
for nine horses out Of ten are defective in
one of these particulars. First, then, ex-
anime his eyes, and do this before he comes
out of the stable; see that they areperfectly
clear and transparent, and that the pupils or
apples of the eye are. exactly alike in size
and color. Next, axamine his pipes; if
good and sound, on being nipped in the
gullet, he will utter sound like that from
a bellows !; but if his lungs are touched. and
he is broken winded, he will give vent to
dry. husky sort of cough; look to his limbs
also, and pressing your hands down his legs.
if you find any unnatural protuberance, or
pufness, or if feeling first one leg then the
other, you discover any difference between
them, disease, more Or less, is present ;ohe
may not be lame, but he is not clean upon
his legs. If he is broad and full between
the eyes, he may be depended on as horse
Of good sense, and capable of being trained
to almost anything. If you want "a gentle
horse, get one with more or less white upon
him; many suppose that the parti-colored
horses belonging to circusses, shows, ETC.,
are selected for their oddity; but it is on ac-
count of their docility and gentleness; in
fact the more kindly you treat horses. the
better you will be treated by them in return.

ton in this State, lad presented himself at
the poll to claim the benefit of the elective
franchise. -
Feeling deep interest in a favorite can
didate, the father, who was evidently op-
posed to the boys preference, stood at the
ballot box, and challenged his right to vote,
on the ground of he not being ofage The
young man declared that he was twenty-one
years old, that he knew it, and that he in
sisted upon his right.
The father becoming indignant, and wish
ing, as the saying is, to ''bluff him off be-
fore the judges said -
''Now, Bob, will you stand up there and
contradict me :? Don't I know how old you
are? Wasn't there?"
Bob looked his contempt for the old mans
speech, as he hastily replied:- -
''Thunderation s'pose you was, wash'tI
there too I"

scion's vote.
