hHErDoTE OF DANIEL WEnsTER-From
"reminiscences Of Mr.. Webster, published in
tho Washington Sunday Acrad', we copy the
following:
Mr.. Webster held oficchollCrs in great ab.
horroncc. When hc was Secretary Of State,
1851, Nlississippian came on to Washing
ion in tho hopes Of securing foreign con-
sulato. lie made his application, and was il.
formed there was no vacancy. Nothing dis.
couraged, no presented himself at the State
Department daily and spcn: an Lour or twoin
the perusal Of the newspapers in TIC ante
chamber, but never annoyed Mr.. Webster or
any Of his subOrlinatcs BY renewing his np-
plication. Several weeks elapsed, and our
Mississippian, like MordcCia in tho Kings
ga,c, was always "tO the fore" One day Mr.
Webster came to the Department in rather
bad humor. The sight Of the Nlississippian,
US ho passed through tho ante.chambCr, APP
pcured to Czaspcrate him. As ho entered tho
chici clerks room he cried out, "Mr. Hunter,
is there auy place this side Of hell we can
send this man to? He'll be tho death o. me"
Mr.. Hunter very quickly found a small place,
worth about $500 year, for the persistent
Mordccn. nnd the great cxpOunder brcathcd
more freely.

An exchange in speaking Of the folly Of
rushing into expensive litigation for trivial
causes is well illustrated in cuso now pcnl-
ing in the Circuit Court Of Ohio county, W.
Va "a citizen Of that county III 1870 shot
q goat, worth perhaps ten dollars, that had
annoyed him by repeatedly trespassing on his
grounds. The owner Of the goat sued for
damages, and the case was tried before Jus,
tico Of the Peace aud given to jury of SIX,
who failed to agree upon verdict. y second
trial before q similar tribunal resulted int yer.
diet Of S3j for the Plaintiff The do!eudan:
appealed to the Circuit Court, where jury Of
twelve failed to decide the matter; after
which another trial was had, resulting in u
verdict Of Sl2 10 for the plaintiff, But now
tho defendant came forward and alleged that
prior to tho finding Of this vcrdiC: he had
rendered to tho plaintiff the sun of SIS in
settlement Of tho claim, which, II proved,
would havo the effect Of rendering tho plain.
ti!F liable for all the costs that had ACQUIRED

was denied BY the plnintiT; SO III March last
jury was called upon to decide the question,
and this jury failed to agree. NJ tho June
term the question Of fact in regard to tho al,
legged tender was given to another jury,
which was also discharged without coming to
any decision on tic mattCrj and it now seems
as far from settlement Us ever. In tho mean

We ever saw, says tho Hartford Tines, was
caught this forenoon, of the dock at the foot
of State street, by two young men in q bout
-Messrs. Ralph llarens aud George Newton.
They were fishing with bass hook aud line,
when Haycns felt IL bite that indicated busi'
ness, aud found himself unable 10 land his
fish without the risk Of broaking the line, and
the two fishermen resolved to "play" him till
they could drown him. The invisible captive
suddenly dartcd out aud struck across the
river for East Hartford drawing the boat after
him at great rate. -
lie played this stcam.cngine character till
he had carried the men entirely across aud

tho American styIG Of treating or the Europe
IN systCr Of not treating, was preferable,
couldn't settle the matter by talking, SO they
went TO work testing it by practice. First,
each man took drink by himself. Then
each man invited friend to drink After

saw young boy before him in tears. Tho

was there.

the life Of his father, then prisoner in Nor.

"Nhat can you do to save your isticr%

"I eau do but little, but what can shall
be DONE"
MorrilIo seized the little fellows car aud

A soldier was accordingly called, and o.,

Pay no attention to sIandcrcrs or gossip
mongors. Keep straight on in your course,
and let their DacE.bitings die the death OF
neglect. What is the use OF lying awake
nights, brooiing over the remark Of some false
friend, that runs through your brain ike
Iorkcl lightning? WHAT'S the use OF getting
into 4 worry and fret over a gossip that has
been sct nGoa; to your disadvantage by some
mcldlesomo basy.body, who has moso timC
than character? These things cant possibly
iujrrc you, unless, indeed, you take notice Of
them, aai in combating them give thcm char
actcr and standing. II what is said about
you is true, set yourself right at once; if it's
false, let it 60 for what it will fetch. If
bee stings YOU, would you 60 to the hive and
dcstrgyitl Would not thousand como upon
you? It is wisdom to say lit, respecting
the injuries you have received, Wc0rC gen.
orally tho losers in the end i. r9 stop to re-
iutc all back bi''ngs and gossipiag5 We hear
by the way. They arc annoying it is true,
but not dangerous, 50 long as wo do not stop
to cXp9s'unio anl scold. Our characters arc
formed aud sustained BY oasclycl and by our
own ac;ious and purposes, and not by others.
lc: usllways bear in mind that 'caIumniators
may usually be trusted to time, and tic slow
but steady justice Of public opinion"
