AN EDITOR SUED.

The editor of the Muscatine Qowa) Cou'
rser was sued the other day. He took ii
philosophically. Hear him:
The dim recesses of our dark sanctum
were illuminated yesterday by the rubicund
visage of our friend Constable Scott. Our
hair stood on end as with tears in his eyes
he proceeded ta-seaa aa-sr-Se-r-n;cssy printed
blank on which our name figured conspicu-
ously with that of Justice Klein. TO cut
short long article, we were sued. Were
YOU ever sued, reader? Yes! Nice, amt
it? We put our pen behind our ear and
looked wise at the officer. He trembled a
little, for the idea of suing an editor was
new to him. He never imagined that any
thing could be got of "them fellers'' by su-
ing-we didn't either. We don't now.
The art of suing is science. Young law
yers anxious for suits some times bring
them for fun. Old ones, however, never
do anything of the kind unless they can
get something. We never knew anybody
to get anything where there wasn't any
thing to be had! We hope they'll get a
Judgment against us, then we hope they'll
take out an execution, and lastly, we beg
they'll execute it. If we've got any prop
erty we'd like to know it. They might
garnishee lot of other fellows we owe o.
round town. We guess they will. If they
are sharp they'll commence on George
Schneider. We owe him for glass of beer.
If they get that it would help a little. Fail
ing in this we recommend them to attach a
box of soiled paper collars We have on hand.
They haven't been turned yet, and they
might use the clean side. If this won't do,
we are unable to help them.

THE ART OF GRINDING TooLs.-More
than one-half of all the wear and tear and
breakage and bother of dull tools, comes
from lack of proper knowledge and prac,
tice in grinding. All steel, however re,
fined, is composed of individual fbres laid
length ways in the bar, held firmly togeth.
er by cohesion; and in almost all farm i'm.
plements of the cutting kind, the steel por-
ton which forms the edge, if from sec.
tion of bar, is laid in and welded to the
iron longitudinally, so that it is the side Of
the bundle of fibres hammered and ground
down that forms the edge. Hence, by
holding on the grind-stone all edge-tools,
as axes, drawing knives, knives of reapers,
scythes, knives of straw-cutters, ETC., in
such manner that the action of the stone
is at right angles with the plane of the
edge; or, in palmer words, by holding the
edge Of the tools square across the stone,
the direction of the fbres will be changed
so as to present the ends instead of the
side as a cutting edge. By grinding in
this manner finer, smoother edge is Sc
the tool is ground in less time, holds an
edge great deal longer, and is far less LA.

SOI,OMON's THRONE.


The following account of this remarka.
BILE piece of mechanism purports to be ta
ken from Persian manuscript called the
history of Jerusalem: "The sides of il
were of pure gold, the feet of emeralds and
rubies, intermingled with pearls, each Of
which was as large as an ostrich's egg. The
throne had seven sides; on each side were
delineated orchards full of trees, the branch
es of which were of precious stones, repre-
senting fruit, ripe and unripe; on the TOP
of the trees are to be seen figures of plu
mage birds, particularly the peacock, the
etaun and the karges. All these birds were
followed within artifcially, so as to occa-
sionally utter melodious sounds, such as the
ear of mortal never heard. On the first
steps were delineated vine branches, having
punches of grapes, composed of precious
stones of various kinds, fashioned in such
a manner as to represent the various colors
of purple, violet, green and red, so as to
render the appearance of real fruit. On
the second step, on each side of the throne,
were two lions of terrible aspect, large as
life and formed of cast gold. The nature
of this remarkable throne was such that
when Solomon placed his foot on the first
step the birds spread their wings, and made
a futtering noisein the air. On his reach
ing the third step, the whole assemblage of
demons, and fairies, and men repeated the
praises of the Deity. When he arrived at
the fourth step voices were heard addres.
sing him in the following manner: "Son OF
David, be thankful for the blessings which
the Almighty has bestowed upon u.s." The
same was repeated on his reaching thefifth.
On his reaching the sixth, all of the chill
dren of Israel joined them; and on his ar
rival at the seventh all the birds and ami
mails became in motion, and ceased not
until he had placed himself on the royal
seat, when the birds, lions, and other ami
mails, by secret springs, discharged show
er of precious perfumes on Solomon, after
which two of the karges descended and
placed the golden crown upon his head.
Before the throne was column of burnish-
ed gold, on the top of which was golden
dove, which held in its beak volume
bound in silver. In this book were writ
ten the psalms of David, and, the dove hav-
ing presented the. book to the king, he read
aloud portion of it to the children of Isra-
ell. 1t is further related that on the ap-
proach of evil persons to the throne, the
lions were wont to set up terrible roar,
and to lash their tails with violence; the
birds also, and demons, and genii to utter
horrid cries; so, for fear of them, no one
dared be guilty of falsehood, but all con-
fessed their crimes. Such was the throne
of Solomon, the son of David

R9~ Deacon s. was an austere man
who followed oystering, and was of hard
shell persuasion. The Deacon "allus made
it pint" to tell to his customers that the
money which he received for sisters" did
not belong to him. "The good Father
made the isters," said the Deacon, "and the
money is his'n; I am only stooard. "
They do say the Deacon had way of get,
ting about ten cents more on hundred by
his peculiar method of doing business fol-
somebody else. One Sunday morning the
old fellow was tearing round from house tc
house with suspicious bit of currency in
his hand, and more than suspicious rage
in his face. Some one had given him bad
fifty cents, and he ''wasn't goin' to meetin
till that ar was fixedup." "Why, Deacon,
said one of his customers whom he hat
tackled about it, "what's the odds ? wha
need you care, 'tisnt yours, you know; yol
are only a steward: it isn't your loss.
The Deacon shifted his shoulder, walked tt
the door, unshipped his quid, and said
"Yas, that's so; but if you think that In
a-goin' to stand by and see the Lord cheat
ed out of fifty cents you're mistaken;
don't foster no such feelin' !"

sleeping, for it would only give you 576,,

"Give me whole year and I will count
it,"
eff you do" said the good-natured fa.
ther, with twinkle in his eye, 81 will give
you 81 900 and take you to Niagara and
the White Mountains the next summer.
Come, use your pencil again and see how
far q year will carry you toward the bill
lion, allowing that you work 365 days, and
"a hours each day. Multiply 288,0OO
counted in q day by S65, and what results
have you?" .....
"Why, papa, only 1O5, 100000. I give
lit up, for I do not believe that I could
count it in all my lifetime"
''That is very probable, my son but
now you are at it, keep up the calculations
and find out how long it would take you to
count billion. Be careful in your multi.
|plications and additions for small mistake
where the figures are so many will make a
great difference in the result. I will look
over with you. You have made the calcula-
tion, and what is the result ?"
"Perfectly amazing. To count a million
times million would take 9,512 years, "a
days, 5 hours, and 20 minutes at the rate Of
200 for every minute. This no man could
possibly do"
eThis calculation demonstrates to you,
my son, that some things which, in our ig.
norance, seem to be very easy, ore upon
experiment found to be very difficult, if not
impracticable. If Adam, instead of disc.
beying God, had commenced counting from
the first moment of his being and continu
ed until now, he would only have got
through with about two thirds of his task.

the Quaker looked pretty white about the
gills, I tell you, when he heard this; for he
could not do without him no how, and he
did not like this preliminary talk of his at
sill. At last he made bold to ask him the
worst of it.-what he would take? why,
says Daniel, 4 always liked the Quakers
they are quiet, peaceable, people, who
never 90 to law if they can help it, and it
would be better for our great country il
there were more such people in it. l new

Ian, Van Buren yes I love the Quakers
I hope they'll 60 for the Webster ticket yet,
and I'll 90 for you as low as [ can anyway
afford; say$1, ,0OO.' The Quaker we'll nigh
tainted when he heard this, but he was pref
ty deep, too; so, says he, Lawyer, that's
a great deal of money; but | have more
causes there: if I give you the 81, 900, will
you plead the other causes I shall have to
give you?' sYes,' says Daniel, Il will do so
to the best of my humble ability So down
they went to Rhode Island, and tried the
case, and carried it for the Quaker. Well,
the Quaker he goes round to all the folks
that had suits in court, and says he, what
will you give me if I get the great Daniel
to plead for you? 1t cost me 81, 900 for a
fee; but now he and are pretty thick, and
as he is on the spot, III get him to plead
cheap for you So he got $500 from one,
and 5000 from another, and so on, until he
got, 81, 900 more than he gave. Daniel was
in great rage when he heard this. 'What,
said he, do you think would agree to you
letting me out like horse to hire ?
Friend Daniel, said the Quaker, 'didst
thou not undertake to plead all such cases
as I should have to give thee If thou
will not stand to thy agreement, neither
will 7 stand to mine Daniel laughed out,
ready to split his sides, at this. well,
says he, Il guess I might as we'll stand still
for you to put the bride on this time, for
you have fairly pinned me up in corner of
the fence, anyhow So he went good hum
oredly to work, and pleaded them all"
