II is said of Commodore Vanderbilt that
he can draw off-hand bank check to a
larger amount than any other capitalist in
the country. Last Saturday he deposited
a check for million of dollars in the Me-
chanics Bank, New York, as purchase
money for st. Johns park.
Bankrupt comes from the Italian banco
rotto, or broken bench. When Venetian
failed, it was usual to break up his bench
or chair in the Exchange, to signify that he
had no longer seat at the board which
made it good for the cabinet makers.

There is one other anecdpte Of Wash
,nrton never before published, but was
related privately to me by his nurse,
Joyce Meth, when she was in Barnum's
Museum.
Washington's father made little George
Christmas present of nice little plum
tree, which he had bought at hardware
store in Richmond.
Little George, who was Of an inquiring
turn of mind, wanted to find out where the
plums came from, so he took favorite
Ratchet that the hired girl used to chop
kindling wood with, and chopped up the
tree. !,
It took the edge off the Ratchet and
hacked It like buck-saw, so that II
wouldn't split fine kindling wood.
"Who has done this" said old Mr..
Washington, looking around for hickory
switch to warm his offspring.
"Father," said Georgey, with the pre-
sence of mind of future greatness, I'm
the boy who dissected that specimen OF
horticulture" !,
"Come to my arms, my son." said the
old gentleman.
There is only one parallel in American
history to this touching story of attach
ment to veracity.
When Colonel Billy Wilson's Zouaves, of
predatory notoriety, were encamped on
Staten Island in 1861, some benevolent
persons in New York took up collection
to supply the lambs with hymn books and
chewing tobacco.
The committee, with the funds, went
down to Staten Island, passed through the
camp, inspected the lambs in their tents,
and finally came to Colonel Billy's head
quarters. The chairman made neat
speech, then putting his hand in his pocket,
discovered that the money was gone.
81 had it," said he. "when | reached the
camp"
Says Colonel Billy, :" guess it's all right
some Of the boys have got it. Adjutant,
Just inquire who's lifted the swag from the
old dutfer in spectacles."
Adiutant went out to investigate, and re-
turned with report that Company Q said
they had relieved the old gentleman of the
money for fear he might get fatigued car
rying it any further.
" Behold" said Colonel Billy, his eyes
cleaning with emotion, "the nobility ofthe
lambs, they may steal, but they won't lie."
Truth is an exalting virtue which Anne
yOulu Will SuCu SAdii-
Piles before them ought TO cultivate as one
of the necessaries of life.
Mrs. O'Lanus has impressed this noble
precept upon our Themistocles.
When she accuses him of a broken win
dow, sticking pins wrong way up in the
chair cushions, or other peccadillos, she
tells him to own up, and then she will not
lick him, but if he denies it he will be
whipped additional for telling story.
l don't think his Interpretation of the
precept or appreciation of the inducement
of leniency is altogether clear.
For instance, he frankly owned up when
accused Of breaking the nose of his
mothers favorite pitcher, when subse-
quently Eliza Jane confessed that she
did it.
When called upon for an explanation,
Master Themistocles fell back upon his
mothers assurance that she wouldn't lick
him when he owned up.
1t is good thing to encourage youth to
virtue, but it is as well to do it under
standingly. Yours, virtuously,
CoRRY O'LANUs.

Mr.. Sr.wEIL was perfectly satisfied that
Tho whole interests Of the Commonwealth
would receive a shock In few days that
wonld render It impossible for the people
TO pay the interest on the puonc aeos tho
present year. In addition to tna.3 tho
logic of events had placed It peySnn and
power of the people to meet Ine TO- The
for money. He was unwlinhs ~ Nth ra.
people now, when they wou co p ~ ,,;nr tho
inctane. When he taxed lot paying tne
us. III, he must have some reasonable
P ao that money raised for that OBJ
~, wo,,ld reach the pockets Of those for
J ese n was intended. He was unwilling,
therefore. to impose taxes now, which his
substitute proved his anxiety to do at the
beginning of the session.
Mr.. CRUMP defended the Committee of
Finance from an implied charge by Mr..
BALDWIN Of hardness in the preparation
Of the bill before the House. If the CON-
mittee were SO composed as to occasion
delay by contrariety Of opinion, that was
the fault of the presiding officer who ap-
pointed the committee. Mr.. @. took no
blame to himself-his views were known
from the beginning Of the session. Inc
bill was reported six weeks since, when ne
tMr. c. had given his views; since which,
not an argument had been made on the
bill. He inquired why it was that Mr.. b.
had not come before to aid the bill, which
had been postponed from time to time, and
overwhelmed under a number OF special
bills and rules of order by the CHAIR. MT.
c.. still thought-however gentlemen might
hurrah for Virginia at all times (which
might do for Buncombe)-that it was not
prudent to consider this subject until they
knew something more definite as to the
questions concerning the policy of the
government under which we were to be
placed. He would not be willing to act
until he could see the way clear, and be
able to know with some degree of GER
tainty whether the object of this bill, if
passed, could be carried out.
Mr.. KELLAM inquired how it was that
when the oyster bill was up, the gentle
man from Richmond had not waited for
the news from Washington? Mr.. X.
pitched in right and left, inveighing against
the injustice done his constituents. No
body asked delay when the subject was
the tax on oysters. He declared his al
legiance to be due first to his constituents,
for whom he meant to fight with all his
might. He did not think they ought to
tax the people to pay the interest on the
public debt until they knew where the
money would go. He was willing to let
the present tax bill stand, but would raise
no more money until he knew what was to
become of 1t.
The question on postponing till Friday
was decided in the affirmative.
On motion of Mr.. BENTLEY, the House
adjourned.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1867-03-14
For the Dispatch
To :

Oh why should we in anguish part
When thou shouldst know thou hast my
heart?
Which, though il roved sometimes at will,
Came back to thee for good or ILL.,
Thine was the compass it obeyed
Whenever from thee il may have strayed
Hadst thou been skilled in its love lore,
Thou wouldst have known il did adore
Nor deemed il faithless to its truth,
Because il had its sins of youth!
Doubtful to thee il oft did seem,
But still thou wastit's beacon beam.
Alas that Fate and Friends should sever
Two hearts most truly bound together
And that the doubts within thy breast
Should give to this such fatal zest.
Alas that wheresoerer flee
NV bosom shall be wanting thee.
Still in a world of light above,
Where hear reads heart and love knows love
NV soul will be in bliss with thine,
And shall through endless ages SHINE.
There sin no more can tempt my heart,
Nor Fate nor Friends TO make us part.
'o. CARE.
