advantage OF the special term Of the Court
was coming to enlighten US ON prominent
questions of the day, and last, but not least.
TO increase the number of his subscribers.

and to be converted But we amt doing u
as much as We was;; Every attention WAS
paid to the honorable gentleman ING

asking HIM To take II drink, he seized his
pocket handkerchief, and after using 1t Wig
orously, placed 1t over his whiskey to Keep
the flies at respectable distance. Joe
ought 10 be indicted Tor stealing that pocket
handkerchief. He said he would not abuse
Tom Settle, because he had some respectable
connections in this section, but still he at
once began to curse him and Stephens, and
ended by saying. Il would not I've seen
speaking TO such scalawags as Stephens and
Tom Setae. You may speak to them ii you

two drinks to keep Josiah from choking,
for, though hecould not see TO rake the flies
from ont his whiskey, he could hut know

Inc patriots Grafton began To- draw to a
ciose. Inc jug looked sick, and must 1t be
confessed, SO did josiah. AFTER few more
curslng remarks, steadylng himself by the
railing. he poured the last few lenminlns
drops from his empty jug, amt his speech
was done. The effect OF this speech was pc
