Anecdotes of Thomas II. Benton.

Anecdotes OF IhOm8S Il BentOns
A Washington correspondent Of tn
Cincinnati Commercial, relates the fol
lowing incidents in the life Of Mr.. Ben
ton:
The other day published somewhere.
perhaps in the Commercial, some novel
anecdotes of Thomas III. Benton, the
principal protector of the Pacific Rail-
way, whose statue stands in St. Louis
to day, looking westward along the line
aquiline and grim as in life, with hi.
cloak folded around him. From th''
same source have obtained some per
sonal "reminiscences, one or two of which
1 send you as pertinent to the theme o.
this letter.
Shilington is an Irishman and {.
Bookseller here, of credit and renown.
Benton was a neighbor and friend of his,
and made Shillington cut. out Of books
and newspapers every conceivable arti
Gle upon the Pacific Railway and bring
it to him. He also employed Shilling
ton to select from the Congressional
Globes, which were brought to his house
in g street by the cart load. the matter
that he wished in publishing his abridge
ment of the debates Of Congress.
s'It was a strange and remarkable stu

unable to rise, his srectacl poised Of,

long debates, whose huge folios he held
on his breast. He knew that he had bu,
a week or two to live, and he was rum

finished, for he believed that it was thu
vital thing to keep the country together.
He used to send me word four or five
times day to come up there, and the
people said l was his slave. If I dioi

An Excellent Snake Story.

A friend of ours in Benton county, mot
more than hundred miles from Pond
Grove, is exceedingly fond of getting a
Joke upon his neighbors, and enjoys
laugh even at his own expense. The
tables were lately turned so nicely upon
him, however, that we doubt whether he
will try this hand at joke again for .
long time.
He was lately crossing field on his
premises when he felt peculiar sensa-
ton in his trowsers leg, and in an ms
tant the the terrible suspicion fastend
upon him that there was snake there.
Putting out his hand to ascertain, it came
in contact with what he supposed to be
the head Of the reptile. 1t flashed across
his mind at once that the only hope of
his life lay in his ability to grasp and
firmly hold the head until he could OBJ
tain assistance and extricate himself
from his unpleasant predicament. Seiz-
ing it. therefore, with one hand; he star
ted at full tilt for the house, about half
mile distant. AS he ran he could feel
the reptile wriggling around his.legs. -
He was fairly batlled in a cold sweat at the
thought that it might free itself from his
grasp and give him the fatal blow while
far away from help, and fear lent wings
to his feet. As he approached the barn
where his wife was at work, he became
fearful of the terrible effect it might have
upon her to reveal his dangerous situa-
ton, and he, therefore. slipped silly in
at the back door. Going into one cor
ner, he divested himself of his clothing,
(he had kicked off his boots on the way)
drew forth the cause of his terror, and
with sense Of relief hurled it violently
from him. It struck the rafters above,
then fell to the floor and revealed to his
astonished gaze--an old piece of rope,
which he had put, as he supposed, into
his pocket, but which had slipped down
into his trowsers leg. The movement
Of walking had produced the wriggling
which had at first attracted his attention
As he ran, of course, the motions be-
came more violent. A knot on one end
he had mistaken for the head, and had
been holding it as with the grasp of
death.
His wife, good soul, was at first nearly
frightened to death, then almost laughed
herself to death. The story was too
good to keep, and soon his neighbors
were anxiously inquiring regarding his
recovery from the :. snake bite" We
have often heard of persons having
:" snakes in their boots," but never in
that way before Lafayette, Indiana,
