A FOOLS WAaER.-A man in England
won wager Of EGO by smoking eleven
pounds Of strong cigars within twelve hours.
The feat was accomplished on steamboat
between London and Chelsea. The task
was begun at 10 A. NJ, and ended at Z P.
n. In the course Of nine hours and seyen >
|ty minutes, seventy two Of the cigars were
fairly smoked out, the greatest number con-
sumed being in the second hour, when the
smoker disposed Of no less than sixteen.
The smoker declared that he felt not the
slightest difficulty or unplessntness through
out the nine hours and twenty minutes
work, and calculates that if the match had
gone on to the end, he should have won by
half IN hour. The only refreshments taken
during the progress Of the match was Only

cnpied twenty minutes. and . gill and \
half Of brandy in cold water, At intervals.
during the smoking. The betting when tho
match was first made was six and seven to
four against the smoker but after pubic
trial At the White Bear, Piccad,lly, when
the smoker consumed an enormous eight
penny cigar in three minutes, offers were
made to bet six to four against time.

OPINION OF JEFFER
SON,

Since Abraham Lincoln has been talked o.
for President, we believe he has written 4
letter to some Yankee Abolitionists extol-
ling Thomas Jefferson, and claiming him
as the father and founder Of tho modern
Republican party. 1t seems, however, tha,
Mr.: Lincoln entertained = very different
opinion Of Jefferson few years ago. The
Macomb <1llinois) Eagle ha. had the un-
Kindness to rake up from old files . speech
made by Mr.. Lincoln in 1874. in which he
thus spoke Of the author Of tho Declaration
of Independence:
Mr.. Jefferson IS . statesman whose
praises are never out Of the months Of the
Democratic party. Let Us attend to this
incorporating friend Of freedom, whose
name is continually invoked against the
Wing party. The character of Jefferson
was repulsiye. Continually pulling abou,
liberty, equality. and the degrading curse ol
slavery, he brought his children to the ham.
mer, and made money Of his debaucheries
Even at his death he did not manumit bis
numerous offsprings, but left them, soul aud
body, to degradation and the cart whip. A
daughter Of this vaunted champion Of De-
mocracy, was sold some years ago as public
auction in New Orleans, and purchased by 4
society Of gentlemen; who wished to testify
by her liberation, their admiration Of the
Statesman. who ies
"Dreamt Of freedo m in slaves emhrace.,'
This single line l have quoted gives more
insight to the character Of the man than
whole volumes Of pancgyric. It will out
live his epitaph, write it who may.
And the man who uttered these senti-
ments sixteen years ago would now have
the people believe that Jefferson was ~
much ofan Abolilionst IS he himself is.
