the legislative situation at Nashville, the
Banner OF that city relates that several years
ago Thomas II. Benton was travelling tbron Oh
one ofthe border counties Of Missouri, when,
hearing that court was in session at a certain
point, he concluded to pass that way and give
II call. Passing through forest and brler
he was directed to q ssclearing," where a rough
frame OF house, without roof, might be seen,
surrounded by stumps Of trees and supported
spices OF sapling. The Judge was seated on a
log without his coat. Presently the sheriff
made his appearance. "Mr. Sheriff. said the
Judge, 'have you got that jury" The sherIff,
blowing and sweating, replied. SCOT nine Of

STRIKE IN, LUNATIc AsYLUM.-The
Dundee (Scotland) Advertiser says: A very
amusing circumstance occurred a few days
ago at the asylum, Murthly. Its well known
that the inmates work in the garden and about
the grounds of the Institution. A newspaper
had been dropped accidentally, which con-
tanned a detailed account Of the strikes, &c,
among the ironworkers on the Clyde. This
was picked up by one Of the inmates, who
read the paragraph to his associates, and after
some elaboration among themsel yes the whole
struck work. The outdoor superintendent re-
monstrated with them in vain; they insisted
that, until some arrangement whereby they
would get shorter hours and more pay was
entered into, they would work no more. This
state OF matters continued for some time, and
ultimately DR.. M'1ntosh, the medical superin-
tendent, was sent for 70 endeavor TO get the
men to resume work. The doctor, on hearing
how matters stood, went to the men, and sug.
gested that they should send q deputation 10
address him on the subject Immediately
about half a dozen marched up to the doctor
stated their grievances at muchpength, and de-
manded more pay and shorter hours. The
doctor said IL was perfectly true thar they had
great grievance Of which to complain-pro.
visions were high in price, and the hours Of
labor were far too long in this warm weather,
and then put his hand IN his pocket and hand.
ed the deputation half.a crown. This gave
complete satisfaction; the deputation returned,
informed their associates of their success, and
the whole resumed work Immediately.
