"Cussed His Crop OUT

The following good one is told of John
NJ, a most inveterate wag, and one OF
the eleverest men in old Talbot. He was
in the bureau Office at Butler, last fall,
looking over some old tax books, when
q negro of this county, who had had some
difficulty with his employer, entered and
inquired of NJ. if he was de buro:"
"Yes," said NJ, Pm the man."
"Well, boss, cum to see you bout a
fuss had wild de man / works wid-Mr.
B. You see, boss, l axed him two weeks
ago how much money and tings l got in
de store, and he told me one hundred
and thirty dollars. Well, las week |

lars wuf NV tiugs, and don he say | owe
him two hundred and fifty dollars, and
wen tell him dat cant be so, he Gust
-
"What did he cuss you, said M. ex-
ctedly, turning over the leaves OF the
tax book.
"Yes, boss, he cussed me twice"
"Well," said NJ, hurriedly snatching
up pen and making some marks on the
book, "I'll fne him nine dollars for that
:" Look here, boss" said the negro,
eagerly, "does dey have to pay for GUS
sin us ?"
"Yes; four dollars and half for every
time they cuss you"
"Den," said the colored individual,
rising solemnly, and putting his hat
carefully on the table, "fore God, boss,
he dun cuss his whole crop out, and L 8
gwine home to collect my money.
The negro made shell road time back
to his employers, told the negroes of
their good fortune, and the result was
that every one of them went to Butler the
next day to know about their "cuss
money" B. had some trouble in con-
vincing the newly made enlightened
voters that "cussin was not taxable

is causing unusual excitement. He
makes his appearance in the day time,
and in the form of the late DR.. Jewl, who
ran the Winslow House as water.cure

weeks ago. He appears to Miss MeBain,
an intelligent young lady of fifteen, who

him much.

James Buchanan and the War.
onn tho New York Express.


We had permission day or two since
to peruse long letter, soon to be pub
lished, wherein Mr.. Buchanan, writing to
friend, gives his reasons for not putting
the forts of South Carolina in a state OF
defense, when, as in November and De-
cember, 1860, it was certain that civil
war was to follow the election of Mr..
Lincoln. Mr.. Buchanan S; 8 General
Scott, who was alive when lis letter was
written, might better be addressed than
himself. The reason given, however, is
that during the memorable winter OF
l660-'6l, the United States army was 80
small that, at most, five companies of 400
men in all were available for any purpose,
except at the distant points on the from
tiers and in the Indian country where
they were necessarily placed. There was
then in existence but the skeletons Of a
very small army, and no troops could be
spared for Fort Sumter. He had, as
surances from Southern men that it was
no part of their plan to attack the prop.
erty of the United States, and as be had
no adequate means of defending it, If
attacked, he did not deem it wise to pro-
woke an attack by any movements which
would tend in that direction. General
Anderson, in the midst of this excite
ment, thought proper to move his gal
liant little band, of less than 100 men,
we believe, from Fort Moultrie to Fort
Sumter (which Mr.. Buchanan says he
had right TO do, and for which he does
not blame him), and this bastened the
collision in South Carolina, which
brought on the war;
The want of means to make good
defense of the country, and the hope of
reconciliation when Congress met were,
no doubt, the motives which prompted
the action of President Buchanan.
Those who choose to call him traitor,
alike to the duties of his Office and to
the country, are men who prefer to see
a public man libelsd rather than give
him fair play We cannot say that Mr..
Buchanan's policy was a wise one-but
that it was well meant we have never
doubted, and to have made mistake at
such a moment may well be construed
as equal to crime, however good the
motive.
Mr.. Lincoln, too, made two enormous
blunders-6rst in deyoting the first few
weeks of his administration in peddling
out his offices, and secondly in calling
out seventy. five thousand men to do the
work of half million, but who of his
friends would not be offended to hear
him called traitor in view of these un-
fortunate mistakes, which in the end cost
thousands of lives and millions of money.

SENATOR HESDRIcKs, Of Indiana,
stated in Congress, on Saturday, at pre-
sent the expenses annually Of each SOL
dier in the army was $1,000, and ncarly
s2,OOO,O 900 for each regiment; the total
cost being about 500, 1000, 900 a year for
an army Of Sc, 900 men. The Senator urged
that, with proper management, the army
expense could be cut down $40, 600, 900 a
year, and in this matter the tax payers
are deeply interested, and should urge
rigid economy.

The following snake story, from Cas-
SETS Magazine, is actually enough to
make ones chignon stand on end:
In speaking of snakes, / am reminded
of an anecdote | once heard Of the wife
of an Indian railway official, who was
trimming with large knife some plants
which formed border Of flower bed.
She was cutting the tops of, and while
so engaged she was scared by seeing the
coils Of one of the most deadly serpeuts
Of the country amongst the leaves. With
a loud shrek she dropped the knife and
the plants, and a man employed IN the
garden ran to her assistance. On hear
ing the cause Of her alarm, he sought 10
kill the snake with his hoe; the creature
was plainly to be seen writhing about,
but, although struck, it made no effort to
escape or turn on its assailant At last
II Law notionless, and the gardener ven
tured to pick il up, when be found il was
headless. To the horror Of the lady, the
head was discovered among the leaves
which she had thrown down on seeing
the snake; she had grssped il uncon-
sciously among the tops Of the plants,
and with her garden knife had severed
It from the body. The bite Of that species
Of snake was usually fatal in six hours. 7"
