has done nothing else but trace out this thing;
perfecting the claims of his clients to the prop

secured his end, and has paid to the heirs their
portion of the property. One Of these heirs
he found at the West, a humble eobbIer, whose

his good fortune, and told the lawyer he did
not know what to do with so much money, a

advising him to give each of his six boys a
thousand dollars, and to invest the balance for
his own benefit s85 ota5 aa5T]ggae 5D5ajIff

| Old Jacob J. was a shrewd merchant in Bur
lington, New Jersey, and like all shrewd men
was often little too smart for himAelf Ar
Old Quaker lady of Bristol, Pennsyl-
vania, just over the river, bought some goods
at Jacobs store, when he was absent, and in
crossing the river on her way home, she met
him aboard the boat, and as usual with him
upon such occasions, he Immediately pitched
into her bundle of goods, and united it to see
what She had been buying. o. zf1sos sfef- .u
+" Oh, now says he, :. how much yard did
thee give for that and that, and that ? " taking
up several pieces of the goods. She told
him the price without, however, saying where
she had got them. I could have sold thee
those goods for so much yard, said he, men
tioning price a great deal lower than she had
paid. "Thee knows can undersell everybody
in the place; >" and SO he went on criticising
and undertaking the goods till the the boat
reached Bristol, when he was invited to the old
lady's store and when there the goods were
spread out on the counter, and Jacob was ask
ed to examine the goods again, and say the
price at which he would have sold them per
yard; the old lady, meanwhile had made out a
bill of the difference between what she had paid
and the price he told herr then coming up to
him, she said: ..
Now, Jacob, thee is sure thee could have
sold those goods at the price thee mentioned !"
Oh, now, yes, says he. f4a7-
Well, then, thy young man must have made
a mistake; for l bought the goods from thy
store, and of course, under the circumstances,
thee can haye no objections to refund me the
difference. ..s---
Jacob being thus cornered, could not, of
course, refuse, as there were several persons
who had heard his assertions. =sa

Governor chase,

In some quarters, injustice is, being done tc
Gov. Chase of Ohio, by representing him as an
ultra Free-Trade man. This is an error Gov.
Chase, as we believe, regards the Collection OF
Revenue through Tariff of Duties as essen
tally necessary and such Tariff should be
arranged SO as to promote as efficiently as pos
sible the development of American resources
and the prosperity of American Industry. At
some future time, commercial restrictions may
be abandoned by the common consent of na-
tions, and our country may lead the way to
ward general reciprocity of commercial in
tercourse; but this is not YET. The support Of
Government by Duties levied upon irnporta-
tions, is Indispensable; and whatever Theoretical
differences as to the proper line of policy to be
pursued Gov. Chase is eminentiy a practical
man, and in favor of that public policy best
adapted to once more put andto keep In motion
the wheels of ourshome industry; and protect
our home interests and these include the Iron
and Wool of the Northern and Middle and
Western States, as well as the Sugar and Got
ton and Tobacco of the Southern. States.-N.

A Good One.

A Good One. E.-
A lady tells the following story
"I had been out in Indiana on visit, aud
while there I found kitten, which brought
home for plaything for my two children. To
prevent dispute about the ownership of puss, ]
proposed and it was agreed, that the head OF
the kitten should be mine, the body should be
the babys, and Eddie, the eldest, but only
three years old, should be the sole proprietor OF
the long and beautiful tail. Eddie rather OBJ
jected at first to this division, as putting him
of with an extremely small portion of the AMI
NAL, but soon became recenciled to the provis-
ion and quite proud of his ownership in the
graceful terminus of the kitten. One day,
soon after, I heard the poor puss make dread
ful mewing, and called out to Eddie: There
my son, you are hurting my part of the kitten,
I heard her cry. q No, didn't mother; trod
on my part, and your part hollered." ..
