a. The Judge was trying at the Genesee

happened to be namesake of his. During
the trial the party having an opportunity,

'age by it, approached the Judge and then
said:
We are of the same name, Judge. I've
been thinking and making inquiries about it,
and find that We are some relation to each
other

sure Of it?'

John e. CalhOun's Dream.

A correspondent OF the Mississippi Wing
has cut from an anonymous pamphlet an ac.
count OF dream of Mr.. Calhoun, about tn,
lime of the stormy sectional agitation which
preceded the adoption of the compromise
measures of 1850. Mr.. Calhoun, it seems
was drawing up plan for the dissolution of
the Union, when, late at night, being very
much exhausted, he fell asleep and had the
following queer dream, as related by him.
self:
AT late hour. last night, as | was sitting
in my room writing, was surprised at the
very uncerem"nlous entrance OF visitor " ho
Came in and took seat beside me. Twas
more annoyed, as l had given strict orders to
the servants that should on no account be
disturbed. The manner in which he entered
perfectly self t-possessed-taking a seat CD
posite me-withcut a word-no situation
no apology-as though my room and all with
, in belonged to him, excited in me as much
surprise as Indignation. AS l raised nv
head to look at him over the top Of my sha-
ded lamp, discovered that he was wrapned
in thin cloak, which completely hid his tea
lures from my view, and as raised nv head,
he spoke:
What are you writing, senator from South
Carolina" did not think Of his imper,i.
nence at first, but answered him involuntari-
ly-l am drawing up plan for the dissou-
tion OF the American Unionr 10 this the
intruder replied in the coolest manner posi-
ble:
Senator from South Carolina, will YOU al

He arose, and as he did so the cloak fell,
and l beheld-Great God! Gentlemen IJe-
held the form Of George Washington! As
though had no power to resist, extended
my right hand. tclt strange chill pervade
me at his toucn-he grasped it and held il,
near the light, thus atiordng me iull time to
examine every feature Of his face, and partic-
ulariy of his person. 1t was the face of
Washington, and he was dressed in the uni.
form Of the Revolution. After heldiny nv
hand for moment, looking steadily at me,
he said, in quiet way:
And with this right hand, senator from
South Carolina, you would sign your name
to paper declaring the Union dissolved?'
YES said |, If a ceItain contingency aris.

in alarm, why is that black spot on my
hand?'
That said he. dropping my hand, is the
mark by which Benedict Arnold is known in
the next world! He said no more, bu, drew
from beneath his cloak an object which he
placed upon the table, OH the very paper on
which l had been writing. That object was
skeleton!
There said he, with emphasis, there are
the bones OF Isaac Haync, who was hung by
the British in Charleston. He gave bis life
to establish the Union. And VIXEN YOU sign
your name to declaration of dissolution,

An Incident Revived.

A cruel threat of the Chicago Journal,t that
if Mr.. Congressman Logan does not behave
himself better, Henry W. Blodgett, of Wau-
kegan, will be sent to Washington to regu-
late the member from the TX, recalls an Incl
dent which occurred in our Legislature some
years ago.
A bill to repeal Black Laws was pending.
Blodsett had made speech in favor of the
bill, to which Logan mate reply. Logan was
then an unmarried man and much of gal
liant at the capitol. He had very dark skin
for white man. The galleries were crowd
ed with ladies. Logan rose, advanced from
his seat to position commanding view of
the galleries, and pompousIy began his speech
about thus:
"Be!ore proceeding to consider this bill up
on the merits, wish to ask the honorable
member from Lake few questions-an in
the first place if he is in favor of the mix
ture Of the races BY MARRIAGE" ?"
MIR. B!odgett, (appearing half asleep J
"Does the honorable member desire me to
answer?'
MIR. Logan, (vociferously.) Il do not only
desire, but l demand an explicit answer"
Mr. Blodgett, awake but quie,ly.) "As 10
the matter of intermarriase of the two races
l am rather favorable to leaving that pretty
much TO the parties themselves, as it is in nv
view mostly matter of taste. If the hon.
orable member should be able to secure the
affections of any respectable white girl, |
should be sorry if We had any statute to pre-
vent him from marrying he:."
The House, lobbies and galleries roared
and roared again with burst after burst of
laughter. Poor Logan put no more ques.
tions to Blodgett, and his speech soon ended,
miserable failure Waukegan Gazette.
