Patriotism Appreciated.
A CAMPAIGN STORY.

Jeff Davis and Henry S. Foote were once
stampng the State Of Mississippi together both 9th
meetings the following incident occurred:
"Fellow-citizens," said Davis, ~ gave my
boyhood to the study of arms and the art Of
war (which always create patriotic desires al
the United States Military Academy at West
Point"
"Good !" shouted an old backwoodsman un-
der slouched hat, and who sported butternut
breeches, held up by one suspender.
Yes, gentlemen, when young man, was
sent upon the Western frontier, where | spent
several years, as lieutenant guarding the peo.
Greeks and Cherokees, who had been driven
from Florida, Alabama and Georgia at the
point of the bayonet, and left upon the Wes'
tern prairies."
"Hooray |" yelled old Butternut.
ri made several trips among the Comanchet
and Lipans, to guard the people of Texa,
against the tomahawk and scalping knife"
"Bully boy !'' from old Butternut.
Believing that could be more useful in
civil life, resigned my commission in the ar
my and came to Mississippi, and, you elected
me to Congress. In that body I served you
faithfully, always looking to the rights of Mis-
sissippi and guarding you against every FEEDER
al aggression"
"Tiger-r-rw roared old Butternut.
"Upon the first news that American blooc
had been spilled upon American soil, few tc
Mississippi upon the wings of the wind, raised
81 regiment, marched to Mexico, and at the bat
tie Of Buena Vista saved Taylor's army from
ignominious defeat and won for the American
eagle glorious victory over the Mexican buz
card !"
"Glory!" shouted Butternut.
'Since that time you have honored me with
seat in the United States Senate, where
have served you day and night through evi
and good report, agreeing to no infamous COM
promises, and zealously maintaining Southern
rights against abolition aggression"
sThree cheers for Davis Hip hip! hooray ?
yelled old Buttcrnut.
When Davis left the stand he made BET
line for his enthusiastic adnirer ard graspec
his hand. "God bless you, Gineral = said ole
Butternut; and did you really do all the goo6
things for the country you jist told us about p
eyes and more, too, my friend"
"WeEl, Gineral," said the old man, as the big
tears, weled up in his eyes, Cd eff you hahn
done enough for the country and We oughtn'
to impose on you any more; so Pm a-going tt
vote for Foote myself"

The Blasphemous Grow.

At certain cross-road in the State of Ala
bama stood small grocery or whiskey shop,
where "bust head" and "chain lightning" were
dealt out to the thirsty unwashed at five cents
drink, or twenty-five cents quart. The pre-
siding genius of this delectable institution was
one Bill Skies, who, among various pets, had
domesticated crow, black as the ace OF spades
This crow had learned, among other things, to
repeat quite plainly the words "damn you'll p
which he, of course, heard frequently used in
the grocery. During the prevalence of a
knock k-down-and-drag- fight one day, how
ever, the crow was frightened from home, and
few off tothe woods, never to return.
About three miles from the grocery was q
affair, only used on certain occasions when a
circuit rider came that way. Into this build
ing went the crow, taking peaceable possession
and two days thereafter the church was thrown
open for preaching and large crowd assem-
bled, among whom was very old lady, who
was compelled to use crutches in walking, who
took her seat in the front pew, and was soon
absorbed in the eloquence of the preacher.
The reverend gentleman had scarce got under
full headway, and commenced laundering his
anathemas at all grades of sinners, when a
hoarse, croaking voice from above uttered the
ominous words:
Damn youp
The preacher and congregation looked
aghast at such profanity, and each peered into
hls neighbor's face ia rain to detect some sign
of guilt. Quiet being at length restored, how
ever, the sermon proceeded; but ere ten min
utes elapsed the ominous "damn you !" again
electrified the audience, and just as the preach
er cast his eyes upward to search for the delin-
quent, the crow few down from his perch, and
lighting upon the pulpit calmly surveyed the
terrified crowd and gave another doleful croak
damn you"
The effect was electrical. Giving one start
ling and electrified glance at the intruder, the
preacher sprang from the window, carrying
sash, glass Snd all with him, and set off at n
break-neck pace through the woods closely
followed by his horror-stricken congregation,
who had piled out of the building pell-mell
after him.,
In the general scramble the old lady with
the crutches had been knocked down in the
church, where she lay, unable to rise [; and OBJ
serving her, the crow,who was after something
to eat, flew down beside her, and looking up at
her very knowingly, croaked out:
damn you J"
eyes, and damn you, too! / had nothing to
do with getting up this meetin'- and you know
it,"
The poor old woman had mistaken the crow
for the devil, and concluded if possible to pro-
pitiate his Satanic majesty by denying COM
plicity in that affair. The world is full of Just
such people.

A WoNpERru1 M1cRoscopE.-A micro

A WONDERFUL MlcRoscopE.--A micro
scope has recently been invented and construct
ed, which magniiies objects 9,O0O,000,0 600 times
At this rate of enlargement all ordinary fly
would cover space equal to New York City
below Wall Street, a man would appear more
than hundred miles high, and a hair of the
ordinary length from a lady's head would
reach halfway from New York to New Haven.
Yet, under this enormous magnifying power,
the creations of nature only display new beau
ties. A microscopic shell called an ongulatum,
of which about one hundred and forty placed
end to end would reach an inch, and which,
when examined under ordinarily powerful mi
croscopes, is simply marked with lines of the
most exquisite delicacy, exhibits under the
new instrument half globes of white slick,
whose diameters appear to be an inch and three
quarters, and of which only fifteen can be seen
at once In reality the point of cambric-
needle is larger than the circle upon which
these fifteen half globes exist, and yet that cir
Gle appears like dessert-pfate covered with
lady apples.
