A NEW FACT ABOUT THE ASSASSIN

Mudd, the surgeon of John Wilkes
Booth. Stone is now Member of Con-
gress from the Fifth District Of Mary
land, aud is a modest semi literary
lawyer. He went, in his professional
capacity, 10 see Payne Ter PoweiD, the
attempted assassin of William H. Sew
ard, and returned to my iniroducer with
this statement
"That fellow is the most extraordin-
ary and irredcemabIe rutfian in Chris

savage, has no idea of fear, possesses
no srnsibiIities, and wants to die with

We would suppose that there was not
much OF thu country unknown to men.
This may be true, but still there is
some Professor Powell, who is one
of a party now exploring the regions
bordering or the Colorado river, writes
that they are progressing, though
through part of The country where We
expect to see no human being. After a
three years study of the matter think
1t doubtful whether these canyons have
ever been seen by man. The Indians
never 90 into them. and there is lit
tie game on the cliffs to tempt them.
They tell me that they never climb
The peaks of the higher ranges, and
never Chamber over the cliffs Of these
awful canyons"

TYrE LAw.-The following which we
copy from an exchange, will he found of
general interest
The law of advertising had a proper
elucid:stion, few days ago, in New
York. The publisher of daily paper
sued the Standard Life Insurance Com
pany, in the Supreme Court, before
Judge Fithian, for bill of $7773 on ac-
count of advertising. The company re-
sisted payment on the ground that they
had authorized but one insertion. There
was no proof, however. of this. There
was no order to that effect upon the bill ;
and the company did not attempt to de-
ny that they saw the advertisement con-
timing in the paper and failed to coun-
t+rmand it. An advertisement received
in publication office, without the num-
her of insertions marked upon it, or the
cost of the insertions paid for at the
time, the publisher can know nothing Of
the wish OF the advertiser respecting the
number Of insertinns desired, and can
do nothing till advised by him whose
business it is.

Everybody is in the habit ov braggiu
on job; and Job did have considerable
lille pashunce, that's fac; but did he
ever keep district skule for eight dol

Did he ever get up in the mornin, awful
