A gentleman wns travelling through
Illinois the other day, when q vigi-
lance committo overhanled him With y
summary process, clappcd rope about
HE neck asked him where that "hoss'
was that he "stolc from General Park
err" and the gentleman with the rope
round his neck, and bis teeth chatter
ing, being unable TO explain anything
about "hoss" he never heard Of, was
icrked into a wagon, driven under
tree, the end Of the rope secured TO a
limb, and the cart pulled from under
him. lie hung ten seconds, when 10 !
another committee appeared with the
genuine "hoss thief, and the strange
gentleman was promptly aud hand
somcly cut down. lie fell with
"keraummux" upon the soft grass,
and in half an hour the breath Of life
was shaken back into him, and the
most profusc apologies offered by the
committee for the little mistake they
had made Strange as il may seem,
the gentleman whose neck was twist
ed considerably out Of shape, did not
accept the apologies with very good
grace, not even after the mistake was
promptly rectiied by swinging up the
other gentleman who did steal the
"hoss," right before the strangers
eyes, on the same limb. The stranger
concluded he would not tarry any
longer in Illinois, parting with the
committee very coldly, and bent his
way in an easlerly direction toward
Chicago, wither his baggage had pre-
ceded him on the railroad, 10 leave
which, he was invited by the polite
committee an hour or two before
The resemblance Of this gentleman TO
the other gentleman who did steal
the "hoss" was so great that the com
mittee were perhaps excusable for the
little mistake made, though it must
have been anything but pleasant to
be hung for a horse thief, even for not
more than a quarter Of minute or so.
The gentleman is gratiied TO know
that none Of his friends were passing
mp the road. at so mortifying a mo-
mont for him, but nevertheless, he
feels that the committee were rather
premature in their conclusions, and
cannot entertain that cordiality for
them he would have done, had the
other gentleman put in an appearance

Utica is laughing over funny mis-
cegination case. Lazarus, "colored
niger amorously inclined, welded
a fair Saxon bride a few days since,
and was as happy as a "big sunhow-
err in couscquence-for a day or two.
His pale faced wife, however, kicked
in The traces, would not "mind" her
lawful master, failed to mend his
clothes, and persisted in leaving homo
and allowing the house 10 take care
OF itself On the case being brought
before the Recorder of that city an
amusing scene occurred. The hus-
band asserted that she was his law
fullv woddod wife and that he could
show "do stiff kit" Tho lady contra.
dictcd the truth of The darkey's assev-
Grafton. aud informed the Court that
he could show no such thing, as she
had the document, at the same time
duwingf forthin triumph the "stifi kit
(which Lazarus supposed was locked
up safe at home,) from a capacious
pocket This was decided crusher
to poor Lazarus, and as the case was
evidently against him he cavcd in at
once. Some othor humorous devel-
upmcnts were made. and the case was
dismissed by the Recorder with an
admouiuon TO Lazarus not TO again
attempt the government Of his wiio
by the primitive mode Of kicking aud
pounding.

Short Words.


In tho following article il viii be
seen that all the words are monosyl-
ables
That part Of our speech which
comes from one series far back in the
days Of yore is made up in large part
of those short words which we can
speak with one pulse Of the breath
and one stroke Of the tongue. The
stream Of time, though a long lapse Of
years. aud frorl lands not our own,
has brought down to Us n vast drift
of new and strange terms, poor as
they are long and by which we lose
10 strength moro than VIC gain in the
sound. But tho good old stock of
words Is not lost. They shine out
here and there from the heap, in
bright paints, like stars when a fog
dims the air or the face of the sky is
dark with clouds 1t viii pay US for
our toll to mine out these gems, and
string them on the chain of our
thoughts, which will then shine With
a new light and though the tongue
may lose its sound, it will be all the
more fit to speak all that the deep
soul can feel.
Tho heart beats throb by ,hrob, and
thus the tongue should keep in tune,
while it vents the hearts JOY and
pains. They are Of life and lore Of
the head may call for terms cold and
long hut let all that the heart thinks
and feels come forth from the depth
Of the soul ia "thoughls that breath
aud words that burn" So sing the
rapl bards Of earth as they twang the
Tyre. and when the fire Of their souls
she'd its own light and gilds the scene
with its own light and gilds the scene
with It's own charms.

were at one time rather freely made that it was
out of consideration for Mr.. S,ewart's interests
that the Secretary Of the Treasury recently re-
fused certain bids for gold under ~ The
Lsdger says We happen to know that not only
were these reports wholly without foundation,
but the very reverse of the truth OF all the
men in large and active business in this county,
there is probably DO one who more ardently de
sire- to see gold and currency at par with an at
tendant resumption OF specie payments than .
T. Stewart. II is not only his aYowed feeling TO
have it so, but it is very largely his interest.
Any temporary loss would not carry a feather
weight in comparison with the loss from another
circle of expansion. such as the business Of the
country has already passed through, and which
there is just cause to fear may be repeated in the
near future. What the business men Of the
country most want. and especially men engaged
in a large business like that Mr. A. I. Stewart
is stability, and basis such as will meet the
Judgment of the cool, thoughtful, and conserva-
tive views Of financial and mercantile men. and
such can only tend in the direction of -esunp-
ton Of specie payments. Economy. contraction
