Mr.. BRADY's LAST WRITING.-The
following passage is the last ever written
by James T. Brady, the eminent New
York lawyer, who died not long since !:
"Our brothers in the pilgrimage will
fall at our side, but however thickly the
arrows of death may shower, we can,
while our powers continue, do naught
but move on until we reach the awful in
slant when we are to exchange the fee
BILE pulses of transitory existence for the
ceaseless throbbings Of eternal life
There, even there, at that mysterious
frontier, if we have been faithful and
fearless in the march, we may lie down
obedient to destiny, with the exalted
hope that, after all the objects Of this
world shall have become lost forever to
our mortal sight, there may be unfolded
to our new and spiritual vision another
realm of unimaginable glory, where we
and all whom we loved on earth, may
realize the promise which the Great Ru-
Ter of the Universe has made unto the
just"

The SHOOTING FIsH.-This very re-
markable fish is a native of the West
Indies. Nature has constructed this
aquatic sportsman in a very singular
manner, but one admirably adapted to
his sporting predictions. The fish has a
hollow cylindrical beak. He frequents
the rivers on the seashore in search Of
food. and from the unusual manner in
which he provides for his daily wants he
derives his name. When. this hungry
gentleman espies fly or an insect not
taking due care of himself, but sitting on
plants in shallow water, he swims away
to the distance of four or five feet, and
often of six feet, that he may take aim
at his prey, and when he has done SO
to his satisfaction, he then, with an amaz-
ing dexterity and cleverness, elects out
of his tube-like mouth one drop of water,
which is so well directed, and SO swiftly
shot forth, that it never fails to knock
the fly into the water, and once there, all
hope of escape is gone-the fish darts
upon its prey and eagerly devours it ;
thus supplying us with another instance
of the diversified mode in which nature
qualities its countless millions of crea-
lures with the powers necessary for pro-
curing food.

* A RASH PRoMIsE.-The Portland Ar
gus tells the following story Of young
| lady who is pupil at one of the schools
in that city, and who already, it seems,
beats her papa at mathematics
"She modestly proposed that if her
father would give her only cent on one
day, and double the amount on each sue
cessive day for just one month, she would
pledge herself never to ask of him an
other cent of money as long as she lived.
Pater familias, not stopping to run over
1.-The figures in his head and not supposing
it would amount to large sum, was
glad to accept the offer at once, thinking
it also a favorable opportunity to include
a possible marriage dowry in the future.
At the twenty-fifth day he became great
ly alarmed, lest if he complied with his
own acceptance, he might be obliged to
be declared bankrupt on his own pc
tition.' But when, at the thirtieth day,
the young girl demanded only the pretty
little sum Of 5,36S, 100 12! the aston
ished merchant was only too happy to
cancel the claim by advancing hand
Esome cash payment for his folly in allow
ing himself to give a bond--for his word
he considered as good as his bond-with-
out noticing the consideration therein
expressed, and by promising to return to
the old custom of advancing smaller
sums daily until otherwise ordered"

INTERESTING "REMINISCENCES OF THE
BLACK HAWK WAR.-In a recent ad.
dress before the Historical Society at
Chicago, ex-Congressman Isaac N. Ar
mold gave some interesting statements in
regard to the Black Hawk War and
some of the men who served together in
it. In the light of recent events, the
fact that Zachary Taylor, Robert Ander-
son, Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Da-
Wis served together in that campaign is
a remarkable one. Mr.. Arnold said
"In 1882 John Dixon kept the ferry
across Rock River, and the latch-string
of his hospitable home was never drawn
in against the stranger. The Black
Hawk war was pending, and settlers and
whole families had been killed and scalp
ed upon the prairie. The National Gov
ernment sent General Scott with some
regular troops, to Chicago, and to these
were added some companies Of Illinois
mounted volunteers, called out by Gov
ernor Reynolds, to aid in protecting the
settlers and chastising the Indians. Among
the regulars who met on the banks Of
Rock River, at the crossing then called
Dixon's Ferry under the immediate
command of Gen. Atkinson, were Lieut..
Col. Zachary Taylor, subsequently Pres
;Joot ~ tbo TIc;taJ Gto<So. i. r T.a,,k Roh
ert Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumter;
Lieut. Jefferson Davis, and private Abra-
ham Lincoln, of Captain Hes company
of Illinois Mounted Rangers. These
facts / received from John Dixon, a hale
man Of more than eighty years, still liv-
ing. Anderson and Davis were young
Lieutenants, just from West Point, and
Lincoln was tall and boyish-looking
young man of twenty-five. So far as /
know our fellow citizen, Gurden s. Hub
bard, is the only living citizen of Chica-
go who was engaged in this expedition
against Black Hawk. When Major An
derson visited Washington, after the
evacuation of Fort Snmtor, he called at
the White House to pay his respects to
the President. After the Chief Magis-
trate had expressed his thanks to Ander-
son for his conduct in South Carolina,
Mr.. lincoln said: Major, do you re-
member of ever meeting me before p
: No. replied Anderson, have no recol-
lection of ever having had that pleasure
): My memory is better than yours said
Lincoln. You mustered me into the
United States service, as a high private
of Illinois volunteers, at Dixon's Ferry,
in the Black Hawk war"

Bob -- of -, who used to be sena.
tor from -, and very remarkable
man in his time. He's patent lawyer
here now, and whenever he gets more
drink than he can manage he's pugilis-
tic. Now, he and / were at swords

newspaper in opposition to his views ;
and if he could give me offence, know
he would But thar'll be fight before

that his earthly felicity was complete
when in the company of such people, |
feared no disaster, and devoted myself to
lunch; but five minutes had hardly
elapsed before crash came the COM
mencement, and the ladies were flying
frightened in every direction. The ex-
senator's liquor beginning to work, his
pugilism advanced; and he suddenly
sent his friend sprawling. Language
and scrimmage followed which pen
can hardly describe. My companions,
all itching to stop the fray, dared not to
interfere; for they knew that if Old Bob
saw them, pistols and decided trou-
bic would be their lot. After half the
crockery in the vicinity of the aged Her
cules was demolished, he had been taken
from his throat grasp upon his compan-
ion, and had skunk away, somewhat So
bered by the presence of policeman,
my Arkansas friend said, musingly and
evidently not intending to be overheard
=" Well, things are progressing, they
