Bills of all kinds have been introduced, but
scarcely one has passed both bodies Town.

'taxed, the printing of the laws in all the

ing or broiling. but as yet the work is mostly
talk. The negro and the railroads dror the
most interest. 1t is said that Gov. Stone has
certified to the MEG. Western that portion of
the Land Grant to which they claim title by
virtue OF having built 50 miles Of road, on the
ADD parallel, or as near it as practicable. The
act OF congress requires that the road shall
start from "the foot of Main street, South Nc.
Gregor," but the company demanded of Stone
certificate on the plea that they could at any
time hereafter make the foot OF Main street the
place Of departure. II they build ten miles
of road they claim pro rata share of the
grant. Left, Hunt, Goodrich and others up
north, fight this idea. They ask for com.
-mittec Of Eve along the line who shall certify
that the Company have complied with the law
oil Congress. Sec. Harlan, OF the Interior,
tclegraphs that the Governors certificate will
not be good unless the legislator. approves it.
So glands the battle. Stone told everybody
hercaway, (and Left. particularly that he
would never pass that certif ate to the Nc.
Gregor Western, unless the law was strictly
complied with; but then Bill wanted to be
elected just tllen-wait! LefinsweIl offered
a resolution barring railroad bridge at Nc.

A Yankee Trade.

A certain farmer, who u the course o
the year purchased several dollars wortl
of goods and always paid for them, called
at store of village merchant, his regu
lar place of dealing, with two dozer
brooms,. which he offered for sale. The
merchant who, by the way, is fond Of :
good bargain, examined his stock, and
said: "Well, Cyrus, will give you 8
shilling apiece for these brooms."
Cyrus seemed astonished at the offer
and quickly replied:
"Oh, no, John, can't begin to take
that for. .'em, no how; but I'll let you
have 'em for twenty cents piece, and not
a cent less.
"Cyrus you are crazy" replied John.
"Why, see here" showing a fine lot OF
broons;a is an article great deal better
than yours (Which was true) which am
retailing attwelye and a half cents apiece"
(which was not true by seven and a half
cents.
"Don't care for that" answered Cyrus
.your brooms are cheap enough, but you
can't have mine for less than twenty cents,
anyhow )" and pretending to be more
than half angry, shouldered his brooms
and started for the door.
The merchant, getting nervous over the
loss of good customer, and fearing that
he might 90 to another store and never
return, said:
"See here, Cyrus, hold on awhile If
give you twenty cents, for your brooms
YOU will not object to take the price Of
them out in goods"
"No, don't care if d." replied
Cyrus.
Well, as you are an old customer, |
will allow you twenty cents apiece for
this lot. Let me see, twenty four times
