Life in Waahinrtnn-

Extracts from the lecture on, Life
in Washington, delivered before the
literary societies of Westerville, o,
by Rev. E. S. Chapman, on Decem-
Der 20, 1870:
81 was at one time during my So
jouEn in Washington the only wit
ness of a little incident which has
never been made public, and which
in my opinion strikihgly illustrates
the inner life of Mr.. Colfax. A
series of most provoking blunders
had been committed by persons con-
nected with him in his duties as
Speaker of the House which culmi-
mated in locking him out Of his own
private room at a time when the
pressure of his duties would not ad-
NIT of the loss of a moment. Inthe
midst of these perplexities 1 found
him at his door and received from
his own lips a detailed account Of
the annoying blunders of his assist
ants, and in expressing his own feel
ing under these circumstances ne
stated with much earnestness Of
manner that he felt "a httls unGnS.
able ?
Yes, all the indignation and rage
which a train of the most stupid and
provoking blunders could accumu.
late in the breasl Of Schuyler Col
fax found full expression in the word
'uRamiable.' 1t would be well for
persons who permit triAing grievan-
ces to create in their hearts ranking
bitterness, and transport them to ex-
pressiOns venOmous and prOfane, to
carefully consider this little nara
tive, illustrative as it is of the inner
life of this marvel OF a young states
man, and furnishing as it does a hey
to his astonishing success and pop
ularity where he is best known.
What would q score or more of pub
lie men whose names might men,

cumstanees? What terms would

A case of importance to National
Banks, and to business men gener-
ally, has recently been tried in the
Court of Common Pleas for Cuyaho-
go county, and decided by Judge
Foote.
L have seen no report Of this case
in your paper, nor indeed in any
other paper, and as all the National
Banks in the Union are either direct
ly or remotely interested in the de-
cision, l will give in substantially as
l understand it:
William B. Petit, now of Indian
apolis, and John Holland of Cleve-
land, were doing commission busi-
ness in Cleveland, under the name
and style Of Petit & Holland, and
borrowed from the Ohio National
Bank of Cleveland, eight hundred
dollars, giving II. Potter & Bro. as
endorsers (Harace Potter and Eph-
rain Potter). The bank discounted
the bill at the rate Of nine per cent,
and at its maturity payment was re-
fused, the defendants setting up the
plea ofusury, and claiming a forfeit
ure of the whole debt Proceedings
were instituted, and on the trial the
endorsers made a special plea, claim
ing release on the ground Of usury'
Judge Foote held that it was evi-
IDENTIFY the intention of Congress, in
the National Currency act, to make
the penalty for receiving, reserving,
or charging,a rate of interests greater
than the rate allowed by the laws of
the State or territory where the
bank is located, simply a forfeiture
Of the interest which the note, or ev-
ldence OF debt carried with it, or
which had been agreed to be paid
thereon, and not a forfeiture Of the
debt itself. Judgement was there
fore rendered against the maker and
endorser of the bill, for the face Of
the note, less the interest reserved,
and with interest from the date Of
the maturity Of the nOte.-X. CIsCe-
land Leader.

ters from home informed me of the
necessity Of my presence, in the
management of my business. At
length l found could stay no long

sent thrill of indescribable pleasure
through every fibre of my frame
The peculiar sensation of that mo-
ment must be felt to be realized.
Poets may sing and philosophers
dream Of it, but it cannot be des-
cribed.
After breakfast, asked Emily to
sing to me once more, the song that
had been the means of our acquain-
tance, and she led the way 10 the
di awiDg room. Once more I listen
ed,-the tones of the organ sounded
solemn and the voice of the singer
was filed with a mournful sweetness,
that sent the blood thrilling thro' my
veins until they seemed ready to
burst. The song ceased. l had ap-
proaeed the organ and was leaniag
over the back of q seat, and she
turned toward me, she brushed aways
a tear, that was stealing down her
lace in spite of all her efforts to con-
ceal it. / could suppress my feelings
no longer. My hour was come, and
all through the period ofmy
bachelorship, l had never dreamed Of

arms, and pressing my lips to hers

What passed must not be known to

A year had passed, and again I
stood in the mansion Of Mr.. Morris.
In this world ! have known much of

hour is known with more endearing
satisfaction, than that when l stood

in mine, and received the honest
blessing Of my old mountain friend,
bestowed upon his children.

She may shake her knuckles full in my face,
And put the lamp to my beard,
And hold the broomstiek over my head

And I've bought me crab tree cane;

BERLIN, June 80, 1871.
The Emperor Of Germany has OF late been subject
to attacks Of rheumatism, which have confined him
to his bed and somewhat impaired his otherwise
vigorous constitution
The Court physicians saw that the fatigues incl
dental to the entry Of the troops have caused his
present ndspOsition while others will have it that
the hardships and exposure OF the late campaign
are now telling upon the frame Of the aged En-
peror.
NO fatal consequences are, however, apprehended
from his present state OF health.
A SUBSTANTIAL REWARD TO PRINCE BIsMARCK.
The Emperor William has presented the estate OF
Schwarzenbeck. the value Of which Is estimated ut
1000 O3o thaers, Prince Bismarck, In acknowedg.
ment OF the great services rendered TO Germany.
The deed Of the estate was accompanied by an auto.
graph letter from the Emperor, saying that no re-
compense within his gift could be adequate to the
