"HoMo," in late letter says:-"I have
emploted the word "Stirriny" Matthew
St. Clair Clarke, for many years clerk of the
House Of Representatives, was an inimita-
BILE wit as we'll as an invaluable officer,
and an honorable. high souled gentlemen
Among the innumerable stories with which
he was in the habit of entertaining his
friends, recollect the following:
Six men were travelling on horseback in
"sparsely" settled country. They hoped to
reach Tavern, distant about twenty miles
where they would spend the night. But al
ter starting, the weather became very tenn
pestuous and the rain fell in torrents. They
resolved, with entire unanimity, to stop at
the first house and take shelter for the
night. Soon reaching an humble log cot
tage they alighted, and were kindly and hos.
pitably received. The good woman of the
house and her ''liege lord" soon prepared
supper for their guests. The coffee though
made of rye was passably good, but there
was but one spoon with which to stir it
The spoon was used by number one, who
handed it to number two. who in turn hand
ed it to his neighbor, and finally coffee was
stirred by six different persons with tho
same spoon. When the sixth man was
through with the operation he laid the spoon
down and to the surprise of everybody pre-
sent, it, (the spaon) was heard audibly to
remark, these are stirring times.
