An anecdote relative to the late Professor
Wilson, is just now circulating. When
the suitor for the hand of Professor VIII
sons daughter had gained the lady appro-
baton, he was of course referred to papa.
Having stated his. probably. not unexpect- /.
ed case, the younger gentleman was direct
cd to desire the lady to come to her father,
and doubtless her obedience was prompt.
Professor Wilson had before him, for re-
view, some work, on the fly leaf of which
was duly inscribed, "WnA the aashors
compliments" He tore this out. pinned ID
to his daughters dress, solemnly led her to
the young lover, and went back to his work.

OVERRIDING IT.

A well-known Methodist, who was tray-
cling on horseback through the State of
Massachusetts, stopped once on a sultry
summers day at cottage by the roadside,
and requested some refreshment for himself
and beast This was readily granted by
the worthy New England dame; SO the
parsOn dismomted, and having seen his
horse well cared for, entered the cottage
and partOOk of the refreshment which was
cheerfully placed before him. For some
time past there had been no rain, and the
country seemed literally parched up. Tps
minister entered into conversat; ou with the
old lady, and remarked r.poa The dryness
of the season.

In early days Of the State Of Indiana, the
capitol was Corydon and the annual ses~
sions Of the General Assembly usually bro't
together as wild set CT mad wags as could
be found in the State, who had to rely upon
their own resources for amusements, for
there were then few theatres, concerts or
shows.
These lovers Of mischief had established a
mock Masonic Lodge, into which they would
entice such as were little green, and take
them through variety of ridiculous cere.
monies to the infinite amusement Of the crowd
On one OF these occasions, it being under

pressive upon the mind Of the candidate, had
put on false face and large paper cap,
sarmounted with horns, and, with some
chains in his hand, placed himself behind q
screen.
After taking the candidate through var
lefty of ceremonies he was brought TO stand
before the screen, and told that he had then
to confess oil the crimes he had committed
during his whole life. The young man con-
fessed some trivial offenses, and declared that
he could recollect no more. At this the Judge
came out from his hiding place, groaned, and
shook his Chains. The frightened candidate
related some other small matters, and de-
clared that he had disclosed all the crimes
he had ever committed. At this the groans
Of the pretended devil became furious, and
the chains ratified and he shook his horns II

The Ne bras a Gold Nlfmcs

A few men went last fall to Western Nebras-
ka.and near the foot Of the Rocky Mountains
making very hasty examination, reported
without any conclusive evidence, that gold ex-
listed IN large quantities, and set themselves at
work to get up large emigration this spring.
The panic Of 81 and the short crop of So had
thrown thousands out of employment WHO were
eager to catch at anything that gave promise
| OF even small returns. The work was there
fore easily accomplished, and by the LIST of May
at least fifty thousand people, we think the
number larger, were on their way to Pixies
Peak and Cherry Creek, going on a tom fools
errand, before any mines had been opened, or
any gold received in the States, simply on the
representation of letter-writers whose published
epissles bore internal evidence of great exag-
geraton not to say deception. And if this
army OF adventures, the like of which was
never before seen, went out on fools errand,
they came back in hot haste, without, for the
most part, even looking at the country or pros
pectng tor gold.
Later advces from persons still prospecting
IN Western Kansas lead us to believe that
possibly gold may yet be dug in that country in
quantities to pay for mining. But this is yet to
be demons trated. There are men enough in
that country to find ito open mines, dig
gold and send it forward When it comes for
ward in remittances Of thousands, for coinage
at the mint, it will be time enough to get up
another large emigration. The stories OF let
ter-writers wont draw" now. People will turn |
their attention to productive industry for a |
living, and for their benefit, for the benefit of
The people of Iowa and the Northwest, we hope
hat gold digging never will pay in Kansas.
