"America," was the reply.
"Ah," said the foreman, 'irom
America! A lad from America -~el>-

do you really understand the art ct
printing? Can you really set tyre"
Franklin stepped up to one OF tho
cases, and, in "a very b ief space OF
time, set up the following passage
from the first chapter of John:
"Natbaniel said unto him, can any

ScurrilIty.

Tho Davenport Democrat has made
in arocent issue of that paper, very
scurrillous attack upon the Hon.
Charles Dudley of this County. In
q correspondence published in that
paper purporting to have been writ
ten at tho Capitol, but which in fact
was writton in the office of tho
Democrat at Davenport, Mr.. Dudley
is abused and caricatured 10 q slang
whanging, billingsgate style, which
none other, than one thoroughly
versed and tainted with the vices,
filth and vocabulary Of Eve points,
Now York, could use. Mr.. Dudley is
not the only member Of the Legis-
lature who has received attention
recently at the hands OF this dolecta-
BILE writer. The reputation of Mr..
Dudley, as Legislator, man and u
citizen is sufficient refutation of these
foul Democratic slanders.
