People not we'll posted in biblical
lore should be a little careful how they
quote from memory. Very grave mis-
takes have occurred before now; but
the following, told by Mark Twain,
shows conclusively that different COM
mandments refer to different things,
and that the captain unwittingly made
confession:
why, Captain, you appear to have
a very bad cold

The party male and female started,
and looked blank; and then the lady
who had brought out the remark said,
as well as a choking fit of laughter
would let her,
We'll upon my word, captain, con-
sdering the unusual circumstances of
the case, and your present surround

to enter SO much into particulars

Royal palaces are rarely the homes
of high virtue or true happiness, and
the daughters of George III seemed
to have been impatient of the burdens
imposed by court.etiquette, if one may
judge from the following extract:
The daughters Of George III were
often weary of court etiquette, and
used to get rid of it by spending their
mornings at Frogmore, near Windsor,
small establishment, where they en-
joyed rural pleasures, and were never
intruded on by company. There they
had their dumb pets, and fed their own
chickens, ran out and in unattended,
and were entirely free from the tram
mels of royalty. l have been there
just after they had left the place, and
found their work and their books lying
around, and everything looking like
the home of private family The wife
of an officer in the army, who had
apartments in Windsor Castle, said
that the princesses would escape into
her room sometimes, and beg for
glass Of beer to quench their thirst,
alleging as a reason for their doing SO,
that if they asked for it in their own
home, they must wait for barrel to
be tapped, and that would cause new
office to be created, for serving beer
to them between meals, and that bar
rel would become the perquisite of
some one Of the household, and fresh
barrel of beer would be tapped every
time glass of beer was called for So
great was the discomfort of a royal
household in those days. The great
good sense of Queen Victoria has al
tered many ofthese things for the bot
ter.

Some time ago a wealthy gentleman
of this city (who had once followed

tired from active life on his wealth
and his laurels) employed some car.

He has Cor rather had, for she now

each. She saw that he was too modest
to make the first advance, and so she
broke the ice by inviting him into the
dining room to partake of refreshments.
She drew him into conversation, and
bacame satisfied he was no fool In
| deed he possessed graces of person,
mind and character that might we'll
have been envied by many a scion of

their nobility. She knew that her
lover (for he acknowledged that he
returned her passion) would not be
allowed to enter the parental residence,
and so, when she met him on the street
she not only recognized him, but ac-
tually made appointments for him to
meet her on the street and accompany
her to certain fashionable church, of
which she was a member and constant
attendant Thus it went on, in stolen
interviews, until last Tuesday night,
when she left her fathers roof and

A Curious Lawsuit,

a western paper says that in 1868,
at the time of the New York riots, an
old School Presbyterian minister,
named Richard Curran, formerly of
Huntingdon Co, went to tho village
OF Huntingdon, Indiana The old gen.
tleman had long been noted as very
ardent, ultra Democrat; in fact, cop
perhead. He had refused to preach
under the stars and stripes, and was
generally considered disloyal On this
occasion his daughter, who was with
him, went shopping in Wabash, and in
a dry-goods store met lady, the wife
of soldier who had just returned from
Vicksburg, Mississippi The minis
ter's daughter wore sbutternut' on
her watch chain, and, getting into an
alteration with the soldiers wife, told
her she was a 'butternut,' and she
thanked God for it, whereupon the
former snatched the offensive emblem
from the chain, and in so doing, broke
1T. The minister's daughter called
upon her father for assistance, when,
| according to his statement, he was set
upon and beaten by the surrounding
NA0"N, anu NoIlpelieu W ledVo lOWu
in a carriage to avoid further injury.
For this treatment, and loss of 500
from his pocket during the row, he
claimed $4,000 damages.
'The parties against whom this ac-
ton was brought, admitted that the
soldiers wife did remove the butter
nut but denied that they in any way
iIl-treated the old man or encouraged
others to do so. The case came up in
Logansport, under a change of venue,
and on the trial the plaintiff was repre-
sented by Milligan, of'Sons ofLiberty'
notoriety, and Coffroth, late Democrat
ic candidate for Attorney General of
Indiana, while the defendants counsel
were Mr.. Conner, of Wabash, and
Messrs. Pratt and Chamberlain, of
Logansport. Thejury were out thirty
six hours, and at last returned YER
dict for the plaintiff to the amount of
SlO0, the amount of money lost, but
nothing for the pin or wounded digni-
ty. The defendants have filed a mo-
ton for a new trial.

Sketch of a Copperhead Leader

The following sketch of Senator Sauls-
bury is from lady correspondent at
Washington: "A portly, handsome
man, with curling, black hair, dark
eyes and handsome feature. A man
endowed by nature with generous inn
pulses and a kind heart, yet a man
prcjudiced, passionate and ungovern-
ed, who loves caste and hates equality.

to be forgotten. One, near the close

in handsome broadcloth in his right
mind, with a prayer book in his hand,
| met him with Mrs. Jefferson Davis
