cOldness had driven her to desperation,
which, among young ladies, means a re-
sort to strategy to accomplish what they
cannot Dolby fair means. The young Ia
dy, presuming on her leap-year privileges,
and upon WIS belief in spiritualism, and
his respect for the name of his deceased
mother, employed celebrated medium
and had meeting arranged to which Mr..
W. was invited. On the evening proposed
the parties were present, and the spirits in

Night before last, Chief Justice
Chase invited Hon. IL. S. Bundy,
member of the 39th Congress from
Ohio, to call upon him and stated he
had some important matters to talk
about. Mr. Bundy having long shar-
ed the confidence of the Chief Justice,
and being heretofore his firm support
er and personal friend, accepted the
invitation.
During the interview, Mr., Chase
told Mr.. Bundy that it was his inten-
ton to become a candidate for the
Presidency on the Democratic ticket,
and not succeeding in this, he should
enter the arena as an independent can
didate against Gen. Grant. Of his
own success, he said there could be no
doubt. The impeachment would fail,
and thus falling, would divide the Re
publican party, and statesmen like
Trumbull, Fessenden, Henderson,
Grimes and Fowler, would be recOg-
nized as head of one division of the
Republican party and these FIVE men,
he said, had pledged themselves, ten
days ago, that they would stand by
and support him in this movement
The Chief Justice gave Mr.. Bundy his
views in full on this movement, speak
ing very confidently as to its success,
and predicting the downfall of Radi-
ealism as represented by the advocates
of impeachment.

Some waggish students at Yale Col
Iege, a few years since, were regaling
themselves one evening at the "TOn-
tine" when an old farmer from the
country entered the room (taking it
for a bar room) and inquired if he
could obtain lodging there. The
young chaps Immediately answered
in the affirmative, inviting him to
take a glass Of punch. The old fell
low, who was a shrewd Yankee, saw
at once that he was to be made the
butt of their jests, but quietly laying
off his hat and telling q worthless lit
tie dog he had with him to lie under
the chair, he took a glass of the prof
fered beverage. The students anx-
iously inquired after the health Of
the old mans wife and children, and
the farmer with affected simplicity,
gave them the whole pedigree, with
numerous anecdotes about his farm,
stock, &C., &c.
"Do you belong to the church,
asked one of the wags.
eyes, the Lord be praised, and so
did my father before me-"
DWELL, I suppose you would not
tell lie?" replied the student.
"Not for the world" added the
farmer.
"Now what will you take for that
dog?" pointing to the cur, who was
not worth his weight IN Jersey mud
81 wouldn't take twenty dollars for
that dog"
"Twenty dollars? why he is not
worth twenty cents"
"Well, 1 assure you I would not
take twenty dollars for him."
"Come, my friend, J" said the student,
who with his companions was bent
on having como capital fun with the
old man. "Now you say you would
not tell lie for the world, let me
see if you will not do it for twenty
dollars. I'll give you twenty dollars
for your dog"
"I'll not take it, replied tho farmer.
"You will not? Here, let us see if
this won't tempt you to tell lie,
added the student, producing a small
bag of half dollars, from which he
counted small piles on the table
where the farmer sat with his hat in
his hand, apparently uneOneerned,
"There," added the student, "there
are twenty dollars, all in silver.
will give you that for your dog"
The old farmer quietly raised his
hat to the edge of the table, and as
quick as thought scraped all the mon
ey into it except one half dollar, at
the Same time exclaiming, 81 won't
take your twenty dollars Nineteen
and a half is as much as the dog is
worth-he is your property %
A tremendous laugh from his fellow
students showed the wOuld-be wag
that he was completely Hdone up"
and that he need not look for help
from that quarter; so be good natured'
| ly acknowledged beat, insisted on the
farmer taking another glass, and
they parted in great glee-the stu.
dent retaining his dog, which he
keeps to this day, as a-iesson to him
never to attempt to play tricks on
men older than himself and especial
" to be careful how he tries to wheel
die a Yankee farmer.

Arkansas.

The Inauguration of Powell Clayton,
Governor elect Of Arkansas, took place on
the I'd, about ten O'Clock. A procession
was formed, made up of military, civil
and State officials, members of the Legis-
lature, and a few citizens. No negroes
participated, except the Legislators, which
caused some dissatisfaction among the ne
grOes. After parade of two hours, the
oath was administered at the Capitol
The Governor said in his address that
large numbers Of citizens are not disposed
to accept the results of the war, and idle
hours were spent in invectives against
voters, but the Government erected at SO
much expense should be sustained. The
new Constitution he said was an admira-
BILE one. The ceremonies closed with a
salute of fifteen guns.

kindness in Woman Universal.


"I have observed among all ma
tiOus," says John Ledyard, the great
traveller, "that the women ornament
themselves more than the men; that
wherever found, they are the same
kind, civil, obliging, humane, tender
beings; that they are ever inclined to
be gay and cheerful, timOrOus and
modest. They do not hesitate, like
man, to perform an hOspitable and
generous action; not naughty, nor
arrogant, nor superciliOus, but full of
courtesy and fond of society; industri-
Gus, economical, and ingenious; more
liable to err, in general, than man;
but in general, also, more virtuOus, and
performing more good actions than he:
1 never addressed myself, in the Ian
guage of decency and friendships
to a woman, whether civilized or saw
age, without receiving a decent and
friendly answer. With man it has
been often otherwise. In wandering
over the barren plains of inh0spitable
Denmark, through honest Sweden,
frozen Lapland, rude and churlish
Finland, unprihrIpled Russia, and the
widespread regions Of the wandering
Tartar-if hungry, dry, cold, wet, or

worthy of the appeIlatiOn of benevO-

and if hungry, ate the sweet mOrsel,

Joe StetsOn was a wild, rollieking
fellow, who spent most of his time in
drinking and spreeing, while his wife,
Polly, was left at home to do the
chores. Upon a certain occasion, Joe
left home to be back, as he said, that
night. Night came, but Joe did not.
The next day passed, but about sun
set Joe came up in the worst cOndi-
ton imaginable, his clothes dirty and
torn, one eye in deep mourning, his
face presenting more the appearance
Of a piece of raw meat than anything
else. Polly met him at the door, and
noticing his appearance, exclaimed: /:
"Why, Joe, what in the world is
the matter ?'
"POlly," said Joe, edo you know
Jim Andrews? -? Well, him and me
had a fight"
''WhO whipped, Joe p" asked Polly.
"POlly, we had the hardest fight
you ever seen. 1 hit him and he hit
me, and then we elinched. Polly,

"But tell me who whipped, JOe,'
continued Polly.
"POIly," replied Joe, 81 tell you,

him had. When he clinched me
jerked loose from him, and then gin
him three or four of the most sufficient
licks you ever heard Of. Polly, amt

''JOe, do tell me who whipped, -
continued Polly.
"Polly," replied Joe, ''you don't
know nothing about fighting. I tell

How Victoria RepFOved a FIirt
ing Daughter.

AUB @L44-All -lGIe
An anecdote illustrating Victorff5 3
admirable good sense and strict do
mestic discipline, came to me directly
from one who witnessed the occur
renee. One day, when the queen
was present in her carriage at a mili-
tary review, the princess royal, then
rather O willful girl ofabout thirteen,
sitting on a front seat, seemed dispos-
ed to be rather familiar and coGuet-
ish with some young officers Of the
escort. Her majesty gave several re-
proving looks, without avail-"wink-
ed at her, but she would not stay
winked." At length, in flirting her
handkerchief over the side Of the car
riage, she dropped it-too evidently
not accidentally=Instantly two or
three young heroes sprang from their
saddles to return it to her fair hand
but the awful voice of royalty stayed
them.-"Stop, gentlemen" exclaim-
ed the queen, s'leave it just where II
lies.-Now, my daughter, get down
from the carriage, and pick up your
handkerchief." There was no help
for it. The royal footman let down
the steps for the ttleroyal lady, who
proceeded to lift from the dust the
| pretty piece Of cambria and lace
She blushed q good deal, though she
tossed her head saucily, and she was
doubtless angry enough, but the
mOrtifying lesson may have nipped
in the bud her first impulse towards
coquetry. It was hard, but it was
wholesome. How many American
mothers would be equal to such q
piece Of Spartan discipline?
