JUDGE P1ERREPoNT tells that the late SEN
ator Douglas, OF Illinois, on returning from
Europe alter the visit he made shortly be-
fore his death, gave him account Of an. inter-
view ne had with the French Empy ess soon
after his presentation at court. The first
thing she said to him after tie salutation
was: "Senator Douglas, Understand that
Spain to the United States. II had the
power" [emphaticallyl *sI would sacrifice
every centime and eve'.y soldier in Spain
before surrendering Cuba" TO this Cas-
lillian observation tie Illinois Senator re-
piled only by gay sally, in which he took
occasion TO pass a compliment upon her
Imperial Majesty. In regard to this Incl
dent, we may say that dubious story,
doubtless baSefl on it, obtained currency a
year or two ago; but the anecdote, as mar
rated by iu Age Pierrepont, is of unques-
tionable az thority.

AMONG the writer's for the New York
press is a rich man worth between three
and four millions Of dollars. He is contri-
butor to the daily and weekly newspapers,
and the magazines. He writes on all sorts
of subjects, and accepts the ordinary prices
for his articles. He has the weakness to
consider himself wit. and recently offered
three jokes for publication at a dollar a
piece. The following is the best of this mil
lionaire's jokes:
"In our youth we possessed an old uncle,
4 gentleman Of much learning and cultiva-
ton, but the most literal-minded person
conceivable, and perfectly impervious to a
Joke. No species Of artillery known at that
period could have shot one into him. Those
were the days of Pickwick,' and we once
quoted in his hearing the story of the saul
sage-maker who met with an untimely
grave in bis own patent machine, and
whose fate was only discovered by his but
tons reappearing rs seasoning. 'What ar

make them guilty Of q crime.
Nevertheless, as we have often said be.

when they again get control of the Federal
Government, to be sticklers on constitu.

by the lessons which they have learned
from the Radicals, and use all the powers
of the Government to perpetuate their own
ascendancy. They would be great fools not
