ANEcDoTE OF LAMAR-A friend, who knew
the late Mirabeau B. Lamar well in other
days, in private letter to the senior editor
Of the Montgomery Mail, speaks as follows:
"Well, Mirabeau B. Lamar is dead He
made the first political speech | ever heard,
and said: by Heavenl had rather see
Georgia an iceberg-leahess and lifeless-
floating in the frozen sea, than to see her sub
nit to Federal exaction. Nay, sir, had
rather see her sink into lake of fire seven
times hotter than mans conception |!
when he had fever, twenty years ago,
Colquitt went TO see him, and he lay scorch-
ing Up and raving to die Anybody can die
he said but me. Anybody else would die
with this fever; but here am l. and shall
not die, but suffer on, and liveP But he is
dead la brave man and poet But he was
not happy, and we trembo to lift the veil

LONGEVITY IN THE OLDEN TME.-The Ger
mantown Telegraph, in speaking of the ages
attained by the people of the last century,
says;
The early settlers of Germantown, who ex-
perienced the severest physical hardships,
and whose dwellings were so insecurely con-
structed that every passing blast Of wind
found ingress, lived to very advanced ages.
The greater portion of the luKuries and en-
ioyments of modern times, which our fore
fathers were ignorant Of most certainly in
crease the comforts of life, but doubtless have
a tendency to lessen the term of existence.

An Irishman living in the township of
Dorr, Allegan county, having been in bodily

reach, hit npOn the following plan for his ex-
termination: Loading his gun heavily. and
fastening it to an old work bench, with the
muzzle pointing slightly downward, he took
a piece Of pork and crowded it into the
mouth of the piece and then tied string to
it and run it back through the bands that
hold the ramrod, and fastened the other end
Of the cord to the trigger Soon old bruin
came along, and smelling the pork began to
pull away at it, when the gun discharged,

BosToN SAMPsoN.-An old resident of
Francisco, now sojourning in Boston, writes
to Mr.. Frank Wheeler, proprietor of the
Gymnasium at San Francisco, in regard to
the feats of DR.. Winship, the Boston Samp-
son." He says:
He is a first class gymnast, but nothing
more. He has practiced eight years, forty
minutes each day. His weight is l43 pounds;
height, five feet and seven inches; age twen-
ty-fve years; his arm measures fourteen
inches; forearm about III inches. He is
beautifully developed, and probably as strong
as anyman of his weight But there is no feat of
strength which he does that you could not
do by few days or weeks training, if, in
deed you could not do it without
| do not believe he can raise a 100 pounds
dumb bell in the manner that you do, to save
his life. | do not believe he can hold out at
arms length fifty six and a forty five pound
weight-one in each hand, or two forty-fiv es
in the same manner. | asked him why he
did not put the dumb bell up without Jerk ;
he said simply because no man living could
do it.
The general ignorance regarding gymnas-
ties throughout the country is the cause of
his success, and in every instance, believe,
his performances have met with perfect sat-
isfaction. l wish you would try some of his
feats-especially shouldering barrel of
flour, and raising dumb bells with both
hands with jerk. What is the use of doing
it 'on the square?' outsiders cannot appre-
ciate it."

MAzATLAN AND GUAYMAs.-A correspond
ent of an exchange, writing from Mazatlan.
Iemarks as follows in regard to the States of
Sinalon and Sonora, and the ports of Mazat-
Ian and Guaymas
Sinaloa, although of not SO extensive area
as Sonora, yet is more populous, and contains
much smaller proportion of Indians; is
richer in silver and gold than Sonora while
the latter contains more copper mines. The
surface is more even, and the soil perhaps
more fertile than that of Sonora. Although
the climate is somewhat warmer, and less
rain falls here, yet we have more water. and
generally the State is far better irrigated
In Sonora the principal productions are
wheat, corn, sugar cane and garden vegeta-
bles, with but few fruits while here we pro-
duce all thatis raised in Sonora except wheat
and we have beside coffee, indigo, cacao and
the cocoa plant from which cocoa oil is ex-
traeted.) Among our fruits, although we
have not the fig and date as in Sonora, yet
we have the banana. plantain, pine apple,
cocoanut and mango, which Sonora has not.
Inc towns are generally larger and better
built than in Sonora, and the roads far better
built than in Sonora, and the roads far better,
although believe more infested by robbers
but then we have no savage tribes of Indians
as in that State.
In regard to commerce and business gener-
ally, this State far eXcels Sonora for while
we have in tins State mint in constant SER
vice, there arrives co,,d,tcta of half mil
lion of dollars here from Durango and Zaca-
tecas every three months, and the trains re-
turn loaded with goods from this port
The European trade to this port is ten
times greater than that to Guaymas.
We have also two printing offices and two
steam engines in operation, which are the
positive proofs of advancement; while in
Guaymas there is neither one nor the other.

Great Gale in New York..Damage to
Shipping.

At about II o'clock Thursday night the
weather at New York changed from mild
rain to storm Of wind, and the gale gradu-
ally increased in fury until morning, culmi-
mating in hurricane during al Friday fore
noon. The bay was one mass of foam, with
waves running mountains high. Vessels at
anchor were driven upon the rocks or rescu-
ed with difficulty. Vessels and steamboats, at
unprotected wharves were much worn and in
some instances badly smashed. The ferry
boats to Brooklyn and Jersey City we're una
bic to run except in isolated cases and with
the utmost difficulty. Trees were blown
down, buildings unroofed, awnings torn like
ribbons, and havoc created generally. In
those streets of the city open to the gale, Pc
destrians were unable to make progress, or
if attempting it were sometimes blown into
the middle of the street. The instances of
disaster and damage to the shipping and a.
mong the buildings in the city are countless,
although but few Of them merit particular
mention from the others. A whole block of
buildings in Hamilton Avenue, BROOKLYN,
was unroofed, and the Reformed Dutch
church near Harrison Avenue in the same
city, was partially unroofed and its steeple
sprung two feet. The roof of the Catholic
Orphan Asylum in Fifth Avenue, New York,
was taken of, and fifty feet of the roof of
the convent adjoining was also blown off,
Several schooners were wrecked at their
wharves and sunk. The steamers Hendrick
Hudson and Isaac Newton are among those
badly injured. Some fifteen or twenty other
vessels are injured. So far as known there
has been no loss of life, but the violence Of
the hurricane was fearful.
