legislative Wit.

While Tom Corwin was member Of the
General Assembly of the State of Ohio. he
brought in bill for the abolition Of public pun
ishment at the whipping-post. He made q
speech thereon, TO which an elderly member
replied as follows:
The gentleman is not as old as am, and
has not seen 50 much of the practical operation
of the system of punishment which he desires
to abolish. When I lived in Connecticut, if q
fellow stole horse, or cut up any other rustics,
we used to tie him right up, and give him real
good thrashin'; and he always cleared right
out, and we never saw him any more. It's the
best way Of getting rid of rogues that ever was
tried, and without any expense to the State.'
Corwin rose and replied: "Mr. Speaker,
have often been puzzled to account for the vast
emigration from Connecticut to the West; but
the gentleman last up has explained it to my
entire satisfaction"
The bill was passed, without farther discus
sion.

A Phenomenon In Addition.

A young man of slight figure presented
himself to us yesterday, with letters of rec
ommendation from various responsible par
ties in Ohio. regarding certain wonderful
talent which be possesses, and his means of
teaching others to great extent what no
knows. His name is Hutchins, and he is a
native of this city. This peculiar faculty
he discovered only yoar since, and IL is so
surprising as to merit notice apart from the
fact that he teaches classes and individuals.
He will take three columns of figures, and
more quickly than an ordinary person can
read them, or instan taneously, give them in
addition without fail. The whole is quick
as flash, and appears to set aside al! tho
ordinary proceedings of the mind His
manner of doing this, however. is convulsive
The figures being written down on board,
he seizes piece of chalk, and as he writes
down tho amount. he utters it 10 q loud tone,
apparently in an ocstacy. He says this is
not gift but a scientific process, which he
can impart more or less TO pupils. The ef-
feet TO us was that of brain Overwrought
by concentration TO a single thing but he
SAYS his health improves under the practice.
If less convulsive style be attainable in
this instantaneous mode of addition, it will
be ofimmense advantage in trade, commerce,
and science. aud revolutionze the tedious
mode oe addition throughout the worldly.

the usual question touching his acknowledge

Il am here" he responded, Sin a double
capacity. represent the State of Ohio,
and represent Ben. Wade. As Senator
am opposed to dueling. As Ben. Wade,

"My friend feels aggrieved," said the gen.

yesterday, aud will ask for an apology or
satisfaction"

Senator Wade, by my position yesterday,

then thought. and you will, If you please,
repeat it. Your friend is q fouI-mouthed
old blackguard.'
Certainly, Senator Wade. you do not
want me to convey such message as that y
"Most undoubtedly do and / will tell
you for your own benefit this friend of yours
will never notice it, will not be asked for
either retraction, explanation, or fight"
This proved to be true. No further no.

ALTOGETHER TOO YoUNG.--A correspondent
of the Springfield Republican makes the
following grave comments upon the nomi-
nation OF Hon John Mclean of Ohio, for
the Presidency
observe that since the Connecticut and
Rhode Island elections. the Washington
politicians are talking about Judge Mclean.
1t strikes me that the great fault with him
is his youth. 1t won't do TO run boy an
airy. fighty skipping youDgster like Johnny
Mclean. Why he is only "a, some people
say only "a. ! saw in q Cincinnati paper
be speaks oi making visit with his father
then in bis llth year. This would make
him "a. This is altogether too young. II
We expect to get tho confidence and the
votes of the conservatives, We must not take
candidate who is less than ITO. This 10
the very lowest figure. For my part I
should prefer man who bad reached the
mature age of l30 or even l40. We might
then hope TO bring in TO our aid such men
as Mr.. Everett, Mr.. Washington Hunt, MIR.
Crittenden and Mr.. Hlliard; and we caDnos
do without this class of mon. If VIC can find
man Who remembers Bra6docks defeat.
or the siege of Louisburg. we shall get along
we'll enough. But we can do nothing with
one who vas merely boy when the Rev
OIution broke out. What can be be ex-
pecfed to know, except from hearsay and
tradition, of the principles OF "the fathers:"
And hearsas and tradition are very i'm
perfect guides. No, no! This coming
election must be contested on grave prin.
ciples. Lets have no boys play.

The Home of Byron,

Owing tc the death of the late owner,
Col. Wildman, Newstead Abbey, the resi-
Gence of Lord Byron, has to be sold. and
this grand old ecclesiastical structure,
around which cluster 30 many historical as
sociations, will soon come under the ham
mer of the auctioneer. The Euglish prpers
think that the Church of Rome will be
found ono of the most active competitors
at the sale. Lord Byron sold il in 1918 to
Mr.. Thomas Clawton, who re-sold il and its
extensive park and appepdsges to the late
proprietor, Colonel Wildman, for flO0, 900.
A considerable portion of the old Abbey is
still remaining, partly in ruins, and partly
embodied in the general architecture Of the
house The church, originally magnificent
structure, was generally allowed TO sink
into condition of neglect and dilapiGatioD,
only the south aisle was Incorporated into.
and still forms part of the building. The
cloistsrs exactly resemble those of West
minister Abbey, only on smaller SCALE
The aisle is now thoroughfare for the do
mestics; an extensive and ancient cript un-
der the cloisters has for many years been
used as the cellerage of the house; the choir
room 10 transformed into a bathroom, and
the burial ground for the inmates of the
Abbey is now an elegant garden, where
stands the famous pedestal of white marble,
erected by Lord Byron to the memory OF
his favorite Newfoundland dog.
