that il was very cold weather, and took

and he kept on drinking, and the clerk
kept on waiting to consummate the
trade. He was such dignifed man,
and was so evidently good judge of, as
we'll as large dealer in gin, that the
clerk was not disposed to hurry him. As
he was taking down the last swallow,

Vis-a-Vis.

It is very pleasant in q ballroom to
have fair vis-a-vis to "caper nilnbly to,
but quite the contrary when one is acci-
dentally compelled to go through similar
movements on the street. There are
very few who have not at some time real
lied this fact. Rushing along, parties
going in opposite directions frequently
come to dead hal. face to face they
bob from one side to the other, from right
to left simultaneously, neither able to
pass until the absurdity of the position
arouses the Indignation of one or the
other, and he remains perfectly motion
less Sometimes in doing this even both
parties, as if under magnetic attraction,
come to a halt at the same time, and the
"dance must be again resumed before
a passage is effected. er
We were unfortunately placed in this
awkward position yesterday, though the
annoyance was somewhat modified, as
our ris. d-ris on this occasion was very
handsome maiden of sweet sixteen"
with dark ringlets, black eyes, and pout-
ing, rosy lips. Though it was raining
slightly, we kept up the " dance" some
time, and in such close proximity to each
other that deep bushes suffused the
cheeks of our fair partner, and, we must
acknowledge, the blood tingled in our
own veins We moved from right to left,
came to halt, resumed operations,
and with desperate dash managed to
slip by. The little episode occupied but
few seconds, but each second seemed as
minutes, and the sensation was agreeably
annoying, il we are permitted TO use such
a phrase.-Erchdnge. .r. 1-T-f e

A Fable-Not in Esop.

Two famous detectives once started on
the scent Of notorious burglar, and,
nabbing their man, captured with him
an immense amount of plunder. 81 say,

as he gloatingly gszed upon the glitter

of the business." "No, Bill" replied
his companion, "the old woman always
told me that honesty was the best policy,
and I'll stick to it. Bill turned bur-

kept in the old, beaten track Of honesty,

finally saw Jack Ketch shuttle off Bills

Gold.

What a remarkable influence this
"filthy lucre" exerts over the affairs Of
men 1t nerves the mind and muscles
of the whole human family; it moves
the world it is the object of all ambi-
ton, the motive power of all actions
Its power is seen and felt in all places,
positions, and professions, in the marts
of trade, in Senate chambers, on the
hustings, in jury boxes, in the pulpit.
In this age of greenbacks, it is pre-emi-
nently the desire of all desires, and reg
ulator of all human concerns. 1t is the
political and commercial barometer. 1t
is the pivot on which all calculations
turn. The laborer, the mechanic,
merchants, lawyers, planters, artists,
teachers, ministers of the gospel, aims
givers, beggars daily ask the price Of
gold. We knew all this before; but it
never entered into our "imaginings" of
its wonderous influence, that sending
criminals to the penitentiary would be
regulated by the gold or specie standard.
In Alabama it has absolutely become a
measure of crime. If man is guilty
Of larceny, whether it amounts to a fell
OIy UT uOtt uCpchuo uPou ito ihoi hee
price. If the article. stolen is worth
more than hundred dollars in green
backs, but less than this in specie, the
thief escapes punishment in the peni-
tentiary and gets off by paying fine of
two hundred dollars. We give the fol
lowing clipped from late exchange:
The Mobile courts have decided that
when q man steals cotton, its value must
be reckoned in specie, to decide whether
it be grand larceny or felony, or only a
misdemeanor. A man had stolen five
hundred and nine pounds of cotton,
which was worth one hundred and twen-
ty-hye dollars in greenbacks, twenty-five
dollars more than grand larceny theft,
but only eighty-thrse in specie, SO that
the thief is only guilty of misdemeanor,
and gets off by paying two hundred dol
lars fine instead of going to the peniten-
tiary.
This is what we may call dispensing
justice by golden rule, but we should
want to be well posted as to the pulse of
Wall street, New York, before going
a-thieving in Alabama.

AN INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE
PRESIDENT AND HON. HENRY
J. RAYMOND.

On Friday last the President had free
conversation with n Congressional represon-
tstive fromNew York city" We do not dee IN
it violation Of any confidence, since pub.
lication is made of what occurred, to stale
that the representative was the Hon. HENRY
J. RAYMOND.
The result Of the conversation s the more
important from the fact that Mr. RAYMOND
is not only q Representative in Congress, and
the editor Of one Of the leading Republ-
can journals in the country, but he is also
Chairman Of the National Executive Com
mittee of tue great Union party in the United
stntes, and hence, in the latter capacity, is
charged with high and important response
bilities. His constituency is not confined to
Il single representative district of New York,
but takes in every man who voted for LIN
coin and Johnson. Therefore it is that his
words and acts in the Times, and especially
in Congress, are watched and weighed and
criticised with more than ordinary interest
and care.
1t is for these reasons that Mr.. RAYMoSD's
own editorial account Of his interview with
President JOHNSON possesses more importance
than it otherwise would.
After reviewing the different speeches made
during last week to different delegations, Mr.
RAYMOSD speaks Of his own interview as fol.
