occasion. A thought occurred to him that
BY trick, we'll managed, he could secure
. larger amount Of hay than his employers
dreamt Of. No sooner had this thought
entered his mind than he sought to put it
IN execution. The lay was all made and
ready to 60 into the three respective stacks.
Robinson noted the situation of huge
pine stump as the site of one Of the stacks,
accordingly it was thereon built. Before
the three stacks had been completed, and
before each party had chosen his own stack
according to previous agreement, Messrs.
Jones and Smith became aware Of the pros-
pective "sell," and in order to remunerate
Robinson for his trouble Of putting the
stack where he did, determined to let him
have the said stack and pine stump rather
than he should lose anything BY such an
ingenious ruse. The hour of retribution
was fast dswning for Robinson, oblivious Of
Messfs. Jones and Smiths knowledge of
the immovable stump, was silently and with
beating heart, watching the approach Of
the latter party to select their respective
stacks. Farmer Smith and hcighbor Jones
arrived simultaneously on the field, and
pointing at their respective chosen stacks,
each exclaimed in almos. the same breath,
"I'll take this one" leaving our friend
Robinson the undisputed owner Of the dis
cardcd stack under which was the pine
stump!
It is useless to add that our friend Rob
ihson left for home saddcr and no doubt
wiser man, while farmer Smith and neigh-
Dor Jones "laughed in their sleeves" at
the thought Of the "jokcd," and this was
chow Robinson became owner Of pine

SINGULAR PHENOMENON IN TENNEs-
sEE.-A singular phenomenon occurred a
few weeks ago, not far from Nashville,
Tenn. About noon some men who were
working on plantation were much alarmed
by an apparent opening of the clouds
which were thick and heavy. Suddenly a
brilliant whitish red glare overspread an
immense mass Of black clouds, on the CEN
ter of which appeared a funnel-like aper-
turc about four or five feet in diameter,
the sides of which presented the appearance
dragged flames darting like fiery tongues
and licking and tapping at large white
object passing with inconceivable rapidity
down through the aperture. 1t grew more
intensely light as it approached the earth,
and struck with sound like sudden,
terrific clap of thunder, which seemed to
make the surrounding hills quiver to their
foundations After some hours the plsce
where the fiery missive had struck vas ex-
amined- The ledge Of rocks where II had
fallen vas spli, and torn into fragments

u The following items from the Ore
qoniam, show just how the jubilant orators
at the Grant and Colfax ratification meet
ing in Olympic Hall are regarded by the
more honest Radicals. The RepuHi'
Gun, however, cannot admit the distinction
between turn-coat and steadfast adhcr-
ant of principle, dcmagogue and seeker
for the loaves and fishes and an honest
man, for that would rule out its master.
We really do not believe there was man
who listened to the speakers on that occa-
sion and was not impressed with the ludi-
crous figure cut by these jumping-jacks.
Here is what the Oregonian says:
RETURNING PRODIGALs.-We see by
the Olympia Transcript that Hon. Elwood
Evans has been making a rousing Repub-
lican speech at Grant jubilee at that

his kind! They understand themselves.
How can we ever sufficiently admire the
Coppcr-J ohnsonitcs who, after having
done their "dirty best" to defeat the Re
publican party for the last three or four
year, now comes in after the victory is
won and claim share of the honors?
There is such host of % true men" of this
description-true to the main chance. We

AN ILLUMINAToR.-P. D. Moore, of
Olympia, was one of those who illuminated
their houses on the occasion of the Grant
jubilee at that place lust week. Two years
ago Moore was illuminating for My Poll

butter patriots know how to change their
principles to suit the times.

The Legislature AND It's wOrk.


The WeIIsburg Times says the Wheeling
Register has a splendid article relative to the
course Of the West Virginia Legislature.
The article to which we refer is addressed
particularly to taxpayers. It thus concludes:
"WLjle our people are being thus ground to
powder by taxation, while our State Is being
depopulated by oppressive and unconsutution-
al legislation, aud immigration discouraged 10y

nc Impeachment.

II IS impossible for any candid and just man
20 read the Articles Of Impeachment, exhibited
hy the House Of Representatives against An
drew johnson. President Of the United States,
without feeling that they are the mere offspring
Of partisan maiguity. As if in mockery, they
are claimed to be in the name Of al the Peo-
pie Of the United States !" notwithstanding the
palpable fact that, in the elections last held
more han half the people have rePudiated the
impeachers.
There are elereH articles. and eight Of these are
mere variations upon the same thing, repeating
the charge of unlawfsIly issuing an order to
remove Edwin NJ. Stanton from the office OF
Secretary Of War, and to appoint Lorenzo
Thomas Secretary al interim, with intent 70
violate the tenure-of-Ofice act. " "unmindful
Of the high duties Of his Office and Of his oath
OF office. &c
The ninth article charges him with calling
before him Gen. Emory, commanding the De-
partment Of Washington, and declaring 70 him
that a clause in the army appropriation bill,
which required that all military orders should
20 through the general-in-chief, was unconst-
tutonal-and that the declaration was with the
view to induce said Emory to violate the law,
and to act under his, Andrew Johusou's order
The testimony Of Gen. Emory completely
pierces this bubble, and yet the impeachers as
sert that the President " did then and there
commit aud was guilty Of high misdemeanor
in office"
The tenth article Buffers is absolutely lu-
dicrous. Il hashes up extracts from the Pres'-
dents Speeches, one Of them as far back as
1866, in which, among other things, he charsed
that Congress was body hanging upon the
verge Of the government a Congress Of only
q part Of the States" whose every step and
act tended to pcrpetuate disuuiou, and make q
disruption Of the States inevitable That
Congress, factious and domineerjng, had mn.
dertaken to poison the minds Of the American
people True, every line Of 1t, and Butler
must have proceeded on the old maxim tina
the greater the truth the greater the libel
The eleventh article charges upon anotbe
branch Of the same speech, as denying and in
tending to deny the validity Of certain Con
g1essional eLactments, and that they were vaiC
or obligatory upon him. And that he haC
beenunlawfully devising and contriyius 90 pre-
vent Edwin NJ Stanton from resuming tn,
functions Of the War Department
And these things are allegedas " high crimes
and misdemeanors on the part Of the Presi
dent. who refused the control Of million.
through the Freedmens Bureau, Il is impos-
sitle that, after a proper ventilation Of these
frivolous charges, a two-thirds majority Of the
legal minds Of the Senate can be brough; tC
sustain the Impeachment.
