OLD VIRGINIA.

An Illinois Sucker took a great dislike to
foolish young Virginian who was fellow-pas-
Senger with him on of the Mississippi
steamboats,. The Virginian was continually
combing his hair, brushing his clothes, or dus-
ting his boots-to all which movements the
Sucker took exceptions. as being what he
termed ga leetle too darned nice, by half"
He finally drew up his chair beside the Vir-
ginian and began

ssYou are pooty high up in the pictures thar,

mark, sir.''
ssOh, nuthin','' says the Sucker, ssbut that

'sIf the information will crafty you, in any
way,' says the gent patronizingly, smoothing
down his hair, II belong to one of the first
famiies.''
ssOh, in course,'' answered the Sucker.
ssWell stranger, bein' as yOu belong to the
furst, III just give you two the fattest shoats
in all Illinois ef you'll only find me a feller
that belongs to one of the second Virginny
families
s.You want to quarrel with me, sir" says
the Virginian.
ssNo, stranger, not an atom,' answered the
Sucker, ssbut | never seed one of The second
family, and I'D gin suthn to git sight at one

ssYou are right, sir,'' answered the other.

didn't claim to be either descended from an
Ingin, John Randolph, or a nigger.'
We need not add that the Sucker rolled off
his chair-suddenly They were separated
until the Sucker got off at landing near his
home. AS he stepped ashore, he caught sight
of the Virginian the upper deck, and hail
ed him at once with

ANEcDoTE OF CAssIUs II. CLAY.

Notwithstanding the strong enmities which
the slavery question ever engenders in the
South, G. NJ. Clay's social qualities have made
him always favorite with the magnanimous
portion of the shareholders. On the kentuc-
ky river, at the base of one of those immense
ledges of perpendicular limestone. which give
that stream the most sublime and picturesque
scenery, where Fayette county joins Madison,
(Mr. Clay's native co., flows one of the cold
est and purest streams OF water in all the land.
Here for many years parties of gentlemen
from both counties have been in the habit OF
meeting in the most social and unreServed
manner, and feasting upon what is called a
s;hurgout''-a sort OF camp soup made of fish,
turnips, red pepper, &c.-as much relished In
the West as chowder in New England-with
interludes of cigars, old Bourbon and anec-
dotes. On such occasions all come uninvi-
ted, high and low, rich and poor, and gen.
eral jollifcation ensueS.
A few years since, on one of the occasions,
the Vice President (John q. Breckenridge }
the Dudieys, Bruces, Hunters and other good
fellows being present, it was proposed to go in
bathing, and for many hundred yards the river
was splaShing with good and bad swimmers,
playing on each other all sorts of tricks. In
| the midst of all the fun came the terrible cry
ga man is drowning! - This was DIR. Willis,
OF Madison county, whose family had been the
most bitter enemies of G. NJ. Clay. The four
or five men who were nearest him fed to the
shore in great terror, and Immediately from a
score or more persons rose the cry, ssClay-
Clay-Clay - Mr.. Clay was about fifty or
sixty yards above, but Immediately swan down
the swift stream to where Willis had sunk
never to rise again of his own effort-and seiz-
ing him by the hair at arm length. swan to-
wards the shore, kenpiDg the face of the near.
ly insensibe man under water.
He was called to on all sides to raise Willis
head above water; but knowing that the life
of both depended upon keeping the drowning
man from seiZing hold of the swimmer, he pro-
ceeded calmly without answering till he plac-
ed his charge safely on land; then turning to
his officious advisers who had fed from the
danger which they left to others, he said
| sSnext time, if you want his head raised above
water, raise it yourself!'' The universal call
for Clay in this Emergency, showed the great
and unquestioned confidence which all who
know him place in his quiet courage, and mag
nanimity of SOUL and the end proved that it
was not misplaced. Willis and his family be-
came thencetorth his life friends.

WITCHCRAFT In the course of the century
during which the persecution against so-called
witchcraft was at its height in Germany-from
1880 to 16S0--it is calculated that more than
100, 900 individuals, ,nine-tenths of whom were
woman, were its victims. To the honor of hu-
manty be it said, some voices were raised
against this bood-thrsty practice; but they
were drowned in the general clamor. In every
part of Germany, Protestant, or Catholic, the
same atrocities were committed. At length,
in the year 1851, the noble e-hearted Count
Frederic Stein, himself a member of the or
der of Jesuits, an order which had been a.
mong the most violent denounccrs of sorcery
ventured to step boldly forward and declare.
that among the many whom he had conducted
to the scaffold, there was not whom he
could confidently declare guilty. "Treat me
so, ''he added, sstreat in this manner the Judges
or the heads of the church, subject us to the
same tortures, and see If you will not discov-
er sorcery in us ALL" Despite this burst of
generous indignation, it was not until 1894
that this incomprehensible insanity began to
abate. The last so-called witch burnt in the
German Empire was poor nun, aged 20, in
the year 1749, at Berg. But at Glarus, in
German Switzerland, an execution of SINH
lar nature took place late 1894. This
time the victim was a servant girl, accused of
having practiced diabolical arts, to lame the
child of her employers. Germany, indeed,
seemed to live in an atmosphere of sorcery. :.

made her own.-Poets and Poetry Of Germany.
