CONTEMPT OF CoURr.-The distinguished jurist,
Judge C., of North Carolina SO justly esteemed
for his abilities and estmable characteristics dis
played an amiabe trait in the incidents and anec-
dotes which it was usual with him to retail to his
admirng associates. The point of their wit was not
unfrequently directed against himself Upon an oc-
caslon Of this kind he remarked:
"When was first admitted to the bar was one
day riding the wearisome road through the piney
woods; and as chance favored me, to break the mo-
notony, came upon an old field log school house.

walked my horse past him, |, with the true school
boy whine, commenced spelling aloud:

"Cotton-head gazed at me full in the face an in
slant without change of expression or feature, and
then his mouth slowly opened, and with an nndis-
guised snarl, he shouted and returned:

Nor BAD JoKE.-A correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury writes from Saratoga Springs
an anecdote which he had just heard from Demo-
cratic friend there. His friend Mr.. NJ, so the story
goes, has in his possession portrait Of Abraham
Lincoln, with whom he is well and Familiarity &C
quainted. few days SINCE an ardent admirer and
political friend of the Republican candidate for the
Presidency was at the house of Mr.. NJ, when the
conversation turned upon the subject of LATTE, the
notorious buccaneer and freebooter of the Gulf of
Mexico, who once had his headquarters at Barrata-
ria. Mr.. NJ. being little inclined to bit of sly
tun, and well knowing the political procvities Of
his friend, inquired if he had any knowledge of the
youngest son of La6tte at the same time informing
him that he had IN his possession portrait of the
younger Lafitte, which was Immediately produced
but held that the name of the original could not
be seen, the portrait is not framed The visitor
gazed with wonder and establishment on the picture
before him, and exclaimed, with indignant feelings
that all could see in the lineaments of that face
low cunning deep and damnable treachery and
piracy, most distinctly marked After induleing in
this train of remark for few moments, Mr. M.
slowly removed his hand from the lower part of the
picture when the name of Abraham Lincoln was
disclosed to his view, which completely paralyzed
the visitor and for time rendered him speechless
While standing in that situation, the blood receded
from bis face and then as suddenly returned to it,
he seemed perfectly appalled, by the Judgment he
had 50 unwittingly pronounced against Old Abe,
which ne saw was but fair and impartial Judgment
or decision on the picture before him, which is ad
mitted to be . correct likeness of the Republican
candidate for the Presidency. After the gentleman
had recovered his speech, he inquired of Mr. NJ, If
1t was possible that that was correct portrait Of
Mr. Lincoln? and being assured that by it he could
select him without difficulty from amongst ten thou
sand men, he was SO overwhelmed by the incident
that Mr. forbore to press the subject further up
on his attention, and, fer the time, no more was
said in relation to the matter.' 3

A LEGAL ANEcDorE.-In an article in the London
Quarterly Reoiew, for April, reviewing Horace
Binneys pamphlet relative to the old bar Of Phil
adelphia, we find an anecdote of an American law
yer, Jeremiah Mason, which we have never seen in
print before 1t was told by Daniel Webster.
Mr.. Mason was engaged in defence Of Methodist
minister, by the name Of Avery, on q charge Of
murder The professional character Of the prisoner
interested deeply his brother ministers, who in
numbers attended the trial. The case was serious,
and the advocate was absorbed intently watching
the progress of the evidence carefully noting it and
observing its effect upon the jury, when one Of these
ministers, who would now be called Spiritualst
led to his side, and in great agitation said Mr.
Mason, Mr.. Mason, have most important matter
to communicate. The Archangel Gabriel came to
my bedside, this morning, and told me that Brother
Avery was Innocent" Without lifting his eyes or
pen from the paper, Mason replied, LET him be
subpoenaed Immediately" and continued his work.

GARIBALDI AND THE CONTINENTAL PREss.-lt is
amusing to compare the various epithets applied to
Garibad by the foreign journals. We take the
following as specimens
Naples Gnzette Official THE monster in hu-
man shape Garibald by name, has had the audaci-
ty to attack, at the head of band of murderers,
the domnions of His Majesty the King of Naples.
1t is needless to add that measures are taken BY the
government to capture him, when he will be justly
punished for his rash and lawless undertaking.

to continue his wicked and bloody trade of human
murderer in the happy and peaceful island of Sicily
but the Divine vengeance will not fail to overtake
him speedily
Fienna Gazette Official THE professional re-
bel hopes to continue his former calling in Sicily
but he will be grevously disappointed and his dis
graceful attempt frustrated by the courage and 10y
atty of the brave troops of the King of the Two
Scilies.
LEIPZIG 77mes.-The pirate Garibaldis is, of course,
acting by the orders of the King of Sardinia.

venturer Garidaldi will soon find that his lawless

The RETURNING AFRrcANs.-The second vessel left
cans returning to their native land. correspon-
dent of the Charleston Courier says:
The scene witnessed on the Africans taking their
departure was truly heart rending. They begged
upon their knees, threw themselves down, and by
signs, in every possible way, communicated their
repugnance to going back. Such as had picked up
a few English words spoke for themselves, and the
rest asking the Physician and the Marshal to allow
them to remain, and let the citizens do whatever
they wished with them. No man could have wit
messed the departure without feeling that it was
great wrong and an act of inhumanty in sending
them back to their own country. And the negroes
had the intelligence to comprehend it. It was also
stated positively that two, at least of the negroes
who had been captured on the brig Echo and re-
turned, were among the number brought into Key
West.
The banks captured were the " Wildfre" bring
ing Sc, 800; the "Bogota," $4,1OO, and the vii
liam," l,504. That's sacrificing vessels by the
wholesale. There is strong talk Of party from
Alabama, Louisiana, Florida and Cuba making an
attempt to capture these negroes from the Colonza

be easily done with little determination It is
worth trying, provided they come from hemp or
cotton country, and understand hanging we'll.

As journalist, friend, benefactor and chief magis-
trate Of Washington he has left many endearing
and lasting recollections behind him.
Mr.. Gales was ever an active worker. He had
an active BRAIN and his body need must be alert to
keep up with it. He soon impressed himself on
the minds of statesmen and his paper is one of the
most valuable mines from which the historical stu
dent writer dig up the political details of that
early period; before reporting fourished as it now
does or was so widely cultivated or patronized by
the press. For many years Mr.. Gales reported the
doings of the House of Representatives, and Mr..
Seaton kept like record of the Senate These re-
ports are now we'll known, though very scarce Of
many of the most important, memorable and ex-
citing scenes in Congress, when Randolph, Clay and
Calhoun were the central champions, Mr. Gales was
the sole recorder He was thus brought into early
contact with the most prominent and most rising
men Of the country. Randolph was especially So
licitous Of being preserved through Gales reports
In the war Of 1912 Mr.. Gales was an active sup.
porter of the Presidents policy and the attack of
the British under Cockburn cannot be omitted from
any history Of the press of this country. COL John
S. Williams gives the following account in his His
tory Of the Invasion and Capture of Washington"
The British forces entered Washington that
evening, and bivouacked on the Capitol Hill. The
next day, Admiral Cockburn, in his progress
through the city, (by the way of Pennsylvania
avenue, which was then the only regular or used
street or road from part Of the city to the other
halted in front Of the Office of the National Inte
gencer, attended bya body Of sailors and soldiers,
The National Intelligencer, then the confidential
journal of Mr.. Madson's administration, and
warm advocate of the war, was conducted by two
gentlemen, one Of whom, the senior editor, Mr..
tales. was native Of England, though removed to
tne United States with bis parents in childhood.
