Lurr 'EM Down EAsY.-A pious old
negro, saying grace at the table not only
used to ask blessing upon his board, but
he would also petition to have some def
mite dish supplied. One day it was known
that Cato was out Of potatoes, and suspect
ing that he would pray for some at dinner,
q wag provided himself with small meas
ure Of tho vegetables, stole under the win
dow, next which stood the table of our col
ored christian. Soon Cato drew up chair
and commenced: #t
90 massa Lord, will dow in dy provi-
dent kindness coudescend to bress every
thing before us and be pleased to bestow
on us few taters-and all de praise"
Here the potatoes were dashed upon the
table, breaking plates and upsetting the
mustard pot.
"Dems 'em Lord, said Cato, looking
with surprise, "only just luff 'em down a
little easier next time"

ScHENcK Grows JocULAR.-A pretty
good thing is told of General Scheuck,
which should not be confined to the cir
cles ofWashington politicians. II appears
that gentleman was introduced to him
by friend, recently, whereupon the said
gentleman besought Schenck to do some
thing to aid him in obtaining an Office he
was in quest of. The General pondered
moment and then asked:
care you related to the Prcsidcnt?"
"No, SIR"
care you in any way connected with
the Dent family?"
"No, sir"
care you acquainted with any Of the
Dcnts?"
"I am not" r7t
"Have you ever lived in Galeha, 1lli-
nois?"
"I have not" 'fssfe
care you intimate with any particular
friend of the Dent family?"
"I don't know that am"
"Well are you dsntist?"
"No, sir"
"Then l cannot do anything for you"
The gentleman seemed to think the mat
ter fairly settled at this point ofths exam
ination, and bid the General good day with
a heavy heart. ~

EDITORIAL SLAvERY.-Every editor of
paper will appreciate the truth Of the
following passage from some of the writ
ings Of Captain Marryatt: IL not the
writing Of the leading article itself, but the
obligation to write that article every day
(or week., whether inclined or not, in
sickness or in health, in affliction, disease
of mind, winter or summer, year after year,
tied down to the desk, remaining in one
spot. It is like the walk Of thousand
hours. l have fellow feeling, for know
how periodical will wear down ones exis-
tence. In itself it appears nothing, the
labor is not manifest; nor is it the labor,
but the continued attention, which it re-
quires. Your life becomes as it were the
publication. One days (or weeks paper
is no sooner corrected and printed, than on
comes another. II is the stone Of Syst
phus; an endless repetition Of toll; cou.
slant weight upon the intellect and spir-
its, demanding all the exertions Of your
facilities, at the same time that you are
compelled to do the severest kind Of fdrudg.
cry. To write for a newspaper 10 very
we'll, but to edit one is to condemns yoar-
self to slavery, All Of whish is Is true as

To- A queer looking bird of prey, says
the San Francisco Chronicle, has just been
brought here by a Spaniard from Mexico.
1t resembles somewhat an American eagle,
but has some peculiarities that our bold
bird cannot boast Of. 1t is nearly as large
as the bald eagle, and has four wings in-
stead of two. Like any bird it has two
large wings in the proper place, and they
are of a beautiful yellow color Overlap
ping these, and coming out Of the back
are two jet black wings, which can be used
independent of the others. The species is
known as the Trola Enluntado in Mexico,
and is seen and never found but among
the highest mountain peaks, where it
makes its home. The hunter who sue
ceeds in bringing down one of these fear
less birds is looked upon as "mighty
Nimrod." Some time ago one was caught,
but died on the way up here. This one
has a hooked and blood-red bill, and long,
sharp talons. It's plumage is variegated.
The top of his head is bald, with crimson
spot about the size of a half dollar as a
crown. They are very scarce even in their
native place, and this is the only one ever
brought prisoner to this place.
