In regard to the next Congressional Ap-
portionment we would say, the Constitution
does not fix the number of Representatives in
Congress. but an existing law does fix it at
233, and that will be the number to control
the next apportionment. 1t is generally ex-
pected, that the aggregate population under
the present census will be found to be.between
thirty and thirty-three millions; for the pur-
poses of apportionment, making the constitu-
tional deduction for slaves, it will not probab-
ly exceed thirty millions. Dividing this by
233, we shall have about 126 800 as the ratio
for representative. A member will be gwen
to the faction in State that exceeds half the
above ratio.

A PHILADELPHIA PUNGENT.

Judge Peters, a Philadelphia and pun
ster has left behind him a countless host of
well remembered puns. Some few of his ra-
rest are well worth recording.
A gentleman presenting his only son to the
notice of the judge, said, s'Here is my all" !"
The boy was long, thin, whey-faced strip
ling, and the judge, looking in his face, said
to the father, our aWl, and your last too,
should suppose, but l cannot call him strap
ping fellow
When on the District Court Bench, he OBJ
served to Judge Washington that one of the
witnesses had vegetable head. "How SO 2"
was the inquiry. SHE has carrofy hair, red
dish cheeks, a turnup nose, and sage look"
During one of the public days connected
with Lafayette's reception, the Judge was ri
ding in an open carriage with the general, who
regretted that he should be exposed to the
annoyance arising from clouds of flying dust.
ssI am used to it," said Peters, ssI am judge,
and have had dust thrown in my eyes by the
lawyers for many years."
When practicing as lawyer, he had case
on trial before judge who was well known to
indulge in extraordinary dereictionS from the
truth. This Judge was evidently biased against
Peters case, and while the jury was absent,
and considering their verdict, he wished to
postpone the cause, pleading illness as an ex-
cuse, and declared that he was unable to sit on
the bench. Peters saw the manPuvre, and
said, elf your worship cannot sit, ,re kno,c that
you can lie, and therefore you can receive the
verdict in reclining posture"
He was appointed member of building
committee connected with the affairs of new
church. A wine merchant had made an ex-
cellent offer for the use of rhe vaults of the
building. intending to use them as the place
of deposit for some of his immense stock.
The liberal party were for accepting the offer,
but the strict church-goers thought the affair
was something of desecration, and wished
to decline it. Peters sided with the latter
party, and when his surprised friends de-
manded his reasons, ssI have always thought
it wrong," said he, "to allow any preaching
ouer good wine."
He attended the anniversary dinner at the
Cincinnati Society, on the 4th OF July, 1873;
and when about to retire, he was assisted to-
wards the door of the room by one of the col
ored walters on his lett, and gentleman, a
member of the Society, supported his totter-
ing steps upon the right. The judge turned
round to say farewell to his old acquaintances,
and, looking at his supporters, said-ssMy
friends, take leave of you in black and ichite.'
This was his last pun in public, for he died in
the course of the succeeding month.

A WORD TO THE WISE.

Years went, years came;

THE LITTLE JOKER.

Douglas soubriquet of the ssLittle Giant''
seems destined to be soon superseded by the
more appropriate one of the ssLittle JOKER"
His facility in shifting himself from the n Or
thern to the Southern, and then to the Squat
ter Sovereignty thimbles, is remarkable. For
instance, now you of the North see him, as in
his speech before the people of Illinois:
SIT matters not what way the Supreme Court
may decide the question, the people have con-
troll Of it, for the reason that slavery cannot
exist day or an hour anywhere, unless it is
supported by local police regulations; these
police regulations can only be established by
a local Legislature, and if the people are op-
posed to slavery they can elect representatives
to that body who will by unfriendly legisla-
tion, efectually prevent the introduction OF it
into their midst.''
And now you don't see him, or oughtn't to,
as jim this speech in the Senate. intended for
the Southern ear alone:
ssBear in mind that this question, touching
the right of property in slaves, was referred to
the Territorial Courts, with right of appeal to
the Supreme Court. When that case shall a
rise, and the Court pronounce its judgment, it
will be binding, and the army, navy, and mill
tia must be used to carry it into effect.''
And so goes the little joker, and you never
know where to find him. Now you see him,
as at cfam-bake in Rhode Island, declaring
his preference for clans to Southern niggers,
and now you don't see him, as when hard
questions propounded to him in Maine.
Now you see him in Virginia, or North Caro-
lima, under the Southern thimble and now
you don't see him, for he has gone North, and
has again got under the Northern thimble.
Now You see him stumping the country for the
Presidency, but after November you won't see
any more of him for the remainder of his life.
So watch the little joker while he is in sight.

Sixty years ago, naval officer wishing to
cross from Staten Island to Bergen, could find
no person willing to undertake the job save
barefooted boy, who, despite the roughness of
the sea, bravely rowed him to the place of des-

pluck that he got him situation on steam
or, and that boy is Cornelius Vanderbilt, who
is now worth over Sl3, 600 900.
