SHARP, SHARPER, SHARP EsT.-They have
. sharp set of fellows in Kansas City. We
heard good story of a trick played by one
Of the residents of that city short time
since. A lean, lank, sallow- faced individual
rode mule into Kansas City and wanted to
sell him. A genius, standing by, offered to
sell him for five dollars. The offer was ia
ken, and the mule disposed Of; the ~ ton
eer warranted good title. The purchaser
had scarcely got his mule home, when a
Shawnee Indian came into the city in search
Of "a mule that had been stolen from him
The auctioneer was on hand again, and Of
fered to show the Shawnee where the mule
was if he would plank down V. The In
dian paid, and the auctioneer, after pointing
out the mule, went to the new purchased
and told him how the case stood, at the same
time offered to run the mule across the river
for ten dollars. The bargain was struck and
the auctioneer mounted the mule, and that
q the last that has been seen of the auction

Anaodote OF Gen. Jackson.

"IiE is NO JUDGE OF PREACHING"
Here is a characteristic anecdote Of General
Jackson not before published and conveying a
useful hut to critics upon sermons. 1t was
given TO Gov. Ellis by President Buchanan du-
ring his recent visit to North Carolina. and wa
told by Gov. EllIs in an address TO the students
Of TRINITY College at the late commencement
When President jackson appointed MIR. Bu-
chanan Minister TO Russia, the friends OF Ger.
tam gentleman solicited for hun an appoint
ment as secretary OF legation. Although the
qualification OF the gentleman were unuucstIon.
able, aud his friends numerous and Inhuentlal.
Gen. jackson pertInaclousy refused to give
him the appointment. Aud he explained this
refusal to Mr.. Buchanan by saying, " lie is no
Judge of preachlng." :" How Is that /" said Mr..
Buchanan. "Why," said Jackson" | attended
the Methodist chnrch Sunday or TWO ago, and
heard a most abIe aud eloquent sermon by Dr.

And Gen. Jackson did not appoint him to the
legation Of Russ II. How he was to infer dis
quaiiictIlrn i"r the ,iIice from want of lust
views OF sermon the Pr,s,dent did not g 4 pilin.
But the future history OF the man proved the
instructive foresight Of Jackson INTO character.
L pom Mr. Bachlnan's return from Hnssiu, he
called urou the President, whose Hrst words,
Il IF tnr saIutHtIoH, were, " told yuu that

A"d - il was, the gentleman had become
-unty oi breach Of the principles which are
dear 10 liiAn OF honor and integrity.
Tnis incident gives US an interesting glimpse
OF The peculiar character of General jackson,
and is quite suggestive to persons who make
or hear criticisms on sermons.
