carl BENSON" who now resides in Wash
ngton temporarily, the well known contribu-
tor, in humorous and yet sensible letters, to the
Turf, Field and Farm, gives this:
Now and then I have interspersed the plain
prose Of my epistles with verse But this verse
has always been poetry, according to Cesar 8
definition. You know how that was. His
friend Pompey asked him the difference be-
tween poetry and blank verse, 'Pomp" says
Caesar, ''let me zemplify it to you by an ilunl-
stration. If / say
Tumble down mill-dam,
Come down slam!
dat is poetry But If say
Tumble down mill-dam,
Come down squash!
dat is blank verse Now all my verse is
poetry on Caesars principle; however little rea-
son there may be in it, there is always very
positive rhyme.
Speaking of the talked of continuation of the
Washington Carnival" he gives four reasons
why it won't do, as an institution the weather
is too uncertain at the time Of year it takes
place; the masked ball is not in consonance
with American habits and manners; it wants
the contrast of Lent which is seen in other
countries where Carnivals are held, large por-
ton of our people not keeping Lent at all and
lastly, the Washington streets are too wide for
bouquet throwing, &c. 'On the whole, " says
he, balancing the pros and cons, | do not
think the Carnival can with pleasure or profit
be made permanent institution here, though
it mi ht bear one or two repetitions.

KU-KLUXEs IN PENNSYLVANIA. The New
York Journal of Commerce speaking OF the
outragcs recently committed in the Mining dis
trict in Pennsylvania, especially Of the horrid
assassination Of a poor man, and the blowing
up of his house with gunpowdcr, says:
We have never approved of the unnecessary
intervention of the Federal arm to preserve
order in the several States: and We do not re-
commend such Il resort in thcinstancc of Penn
sylvania. But We do rebuke that bitter sec
tional prejudice which nstigates Congress To
pass laws exclusively for the repression Of out
kwry at the South, and shutsits eyes to a worse
state Of things in Pennsylvania If it is right
and necessary for the Federal government TO
crush out Ku-kluxes, it would seem to be
equally so for the same power 10 put down
Pennsy lvania Buckshots. 1t is poor rule that
will not work both ways-North rs we'll as
South-in Republican State as well as in a
Democratic We advise Congress, Tor mere
consistency sake during the continuance Of
these outrages in the mining districts of Penn
syvania, to cease legislating against the ku-
Kuxes, since it will provoke invidious COM
meuts and odious comparisons.

ASSOCIATION FOR PIcKLING, &c.-The
Richmond Wing says: We have read the an
nouncement of this enterprise with satisfaction.
Similar cooperative associations should be
formed in all sections of the State, and We have
no doubt that this will be the ease if the Caro-
line Association proves successful. There is
no reason why any pickle should be sold or
used in the State except that made within its
limits.
As to the quality of Virginia pickle or that
made in Virginia style, We happen to know
that former citizen of Richmond, now resid-
ing in New York, conceived the idea last sum-
mer of introducing that kind Of pickle IN the
New York market. He obtained from num-
Der of Virginia housewives their recipes for
making pickle, and from them he formulated
the recipe by which he put up quantity OF
superior pickle. He submitted a jar to large
dealer, who at first declined to examine 1T on
the ground that his customers preferred the
Crosse Il Blackwell English pickle, Of which
he was an importer. The jar was left. how
ever, and few day afterwards, the dealer,
when call upon again, said he had tried the
pickle and found it equal if not superior to the
English pickle He proposed to buy the lot;

CHICAGO LAw.-Judge Gary, Of the
Chicago Criminal Court, recently tried a
case in which an abandoned woman was
charged with having stolen some money
and jewelry from man whom she had en-
ticed to visit her. The fact was clearly
proven, and Indeed, the principal portion
of the proceeds of the robbery was found
upon the woman's person, and was produc-
ed in Court. The victim claimed the ar
ticles which had been stolen from him,
aud asked the Court to issue an order to
that effect. Judge Gary declined to do
so, and took the occasion to express his
opinion in relation to the case. He said,
in substance, that the community ought
not to protect men who lose money under
circumstances such as had been narrated
in the case that men who 90 to such
places should be able to protect themselves
and the criminal law was not intended to
cover such cases. The States Attorney,
somewhat astounded at this novel view OF
the case, inquired whether, if drunken
man should meet one Of these thieves, be
"roped in" and robbed, the Court should
pay attention to the matter? The learned
Judge, who by the way, stood high a. the
bar before he was elected to the bench,
and who is highly esteemed as Judge,
replied that if q man loses money in that
condition, the circumstances should be
warning to him to desist from such prac.
ticcs. The protection of the law should
not be thrown around him. The ruling
has occasioned considerable comment by
the lawyers and the press.

HOW's That for High"

A New York paper thus explains the
paternity of the above popular interroga-
ton, in answer to correspondent:
Henry Ward Beecher is the author of
the sentence, which has become so popu.
lar At the time of the Cleveland Con.
vention, in 1864, when John Cochran was
by certain disaffccted Republicans nomi.
mated for the Presidency, Henry Ward
Beechcr, the author of the phrase It's
most id hot" was at the Spaulding
House, Binghamton, New York. While
there waiting for the train to bear him
west, he became acquainted with few
gentlemen, among them conductor Of the
Erie railroad, named G. o. Graves, who
was a strong Republican, great admirer
of Mr.. Bcecher, and member of the same
church.
To while away the time before the train,
which was to bear them westward, should
arrive, it was deemed best to seek little
quiet amusement in private parlor, by
indulging in the popular game of "sevcn
up," or old sledge." iat
TO this game Mr.. Beecher made no OBJ
lection, stating that he played all such
games as checkers, hack. .gammon, chess,
cuchcr, whist, ETC., at home with his fami-
ly, and that he considered it no harm to
seek such amusement when travelling, or
even to carry with him pack of cards or
a box of chessmen, as he generally did.
Graves and Beecher we're partners, the
party playing for the lemonade. On a
four-handed game Graves and Beecher
were stuck, and sawed" to see who should
pay for the lemonade. They played
single game to decide the matter. At last
it stood, Beechcr six, and Graves five, with
his deal. BY accident or design Graves
turned the jack of hearts, which made
him six. 1t was then a question who had
the highest card to go out. Bcechcr
looked at his hand, found nothing in there
to note, and he laid down the deuce on
the table, with the remark:
II give you your jack that makes us
six apiece. Here's the deuce; how's that
for high"
The remark was so original, and the
joke so good, that everybody laughed, and
Graves ordered in the beverages. The
story was told first to one conductor and
then another along the road, and at last
ran over the country, till now nearly every
one uses that as slang phrase, which has
become as popular as d" You bet, or r" Shoe
hy."
