thus: Ga
"Mr. Swan, in the presence of Mitchell
remarked to Jordan, that we (meanins
himself and Mitchel) have concluded tore
open the African Slave trade, and fill this
country with the real ivory toothed negroes
from Congo, and turning to Jordan in

Mn. SERVANT DoRR.-Many years ago,
when as yet there was but one church in
the old town Of Lime, Conn, the people
were without a pastor They had been
for n long time destitute, and now were on
the poiut Of making an unanimous call fo~
ia very acceptable preacher, when cross
grained man by the name of Dorr, began
Ia violent opposition to the candidate, ralli
ed a party, and threatened to defeat the
settlement. At a parish meeting, while
the matter was under discussion, half
witted fellow rose in the house,and said he
wanted to tell dream he had last night.
He thought he died and went away where
the wicked people 60, and as soon as Sa-
tan saw him, he asked where he came
from.
"From Lime, in Connecticut I told
him right out.
"Ah and what are they doing inLitne:"
he asked.
"They are trying to settle minister"
answered.
s'oettle minister" he cried ont. 81
must put stop to that! Bring me my
boots! | must 60 to Lime this very
nlght.''
then told him, as he was drawing on
bis boots, that Mr.. Dorr was opposing
the settlement, and very likely he would
prevent it altogether.
MY servant Dorr." exclaimed his ma
jesty, "my servant Dorr! Here take my
boots; if my servant Dorr is at work, there
is no need of my going at all!'
This speech did the business! Mr.Dorr
made no further opposition; the minister
was settled, but bis opponent carried the
title "My servant Dorr" with him to the
grave.

MANcHAysENIsal. The following para
graph which has been going the rounds
of the papers is about as nearly equal to
Baron Monchausen's story as anything We
have heard Of late. ..e
"About three o'clock on the morning OF
the 18th inst, two young men were riding
from Coripth to East Cerinth, Vt, IN a
light sleign,to which was attached young
mare. The mare, becoming frightened,
ran, and getting loose from the sleigh, d.
verged from The road, and broke into the
house of Mr.. n. D. Blake and passed thfo
three doors before stopping. She jumped
over one bed, in which was Mr.. Blake and
a child, breaking it down, then over the
other bed, in which was Mrs. B. and two
children, oversetting in her course the
light-stand and extinguishing the light
She then broke down crib in the other
corner. Mr.. Blake drew his wife and one
child from their bedstead, which bad beer
demolished, carried them into another
room, aud struck a light. It was not IN
til his return that the causegof the accident
was ascertained." 4 9al 4

SETTING FENCE PosTs.-We hear fre
quent complaints Of the perishableness O.
fence posts set in the ordinary way. And
to the suggestion that the lower end o
the post should be charred, it is replied
that while charring benefits the outside .
the timber, it cracks it openso that water
penetrates the wood still further, and caus
es rapid decay in the interior.
Let us, then, make another suggestion
Char the lower end of the post fol
eighteen inches or two feet, so that about
six inches ofthe charred part will be above
the surface of the ground. Have in read
mess kettle Of hot coal Tar, ia cheap ar
ticle,) and plunge into it the lower end Of
each post; OF apply the tar with a brush
taking pains to get it into the crevices.--
A second application is desirable, as soon
as the first becomes dry, and will make
the timber water-prooffof many years

painter, not probably dangerous rival to Lamqua Of
Macao. There is loud talking in the studio A Yam
kee captain is inspecting portrait of himself which
has been painted at contract price OF some $40.
The Yankee is man about 40, with streaks of gray
in his bushy hair and beard, with slight defect in
one eye a large nose and poekmarked face. Yet,
withal thanks to his afluence OF hair and expires
sion of jaunty determination and yilmay care 60
aheadness, he is q manly looking fellow. He is look
ing ruefuliy however at the eounterfet pTesentment
of himself which is to go to the girl Of his heart at
New York. 1t is most laughtermOyng caricature
of all the salient points Of his physiOgnomy. The
Yankee sweaTs that it is no more like him than
hickory nuts are like thunder. The artist has pro-
duced small ookingg glass; which he places beside
the portrait, and pointing to the gray hair and the
squirting eye aud the pockmarks Of the portfat and

the New York Courier writing from the Crimea,
gives the following picture of society in that famous
locality:
There are many, perhaps, who suppose from what
they have read of Russia that the manners customs
and social society of the Russians would be far from
agreeable to an American but such Is not the fact
for in no country that have visited have seen
more poteness and refinement than exists in the re-
spectacle circles of Sebastopol. Although there are
many points where etiquette differs from ours, yet
rather than diminishing it adds to the sociabity OF
the company For instance, it might possibly shock
the sensbilites OF an american lady to be tod that
during the Of ball. the ladies retire to their
apartment, (where no gentleman dares enter,) light
their paper cigars, smoke away and chat most meF-
ry. Also, at the dinner table, after the dessert Ia
dies, as well as gentlemen, smoke their cigars aud
take their glass of wine and while the smoke is curl
ing up, their beautiful black eyes shine with additional
/ ustre.
