70 While the celebrated Major Col.
thrust was in tavern at Cork, squire,
who had arrived at the acme of drunken
preeminence, challenged every one in the
room exclaimiug, " He would fight any one
in the room; of none was he apprehen-
sive." The major, regardless Of this bonn
bastic ebulition, addressing him, said, BY
your own account, sir, you are man Of
spirit, and men of spirit seldom fight any
person but their match" =" Undoubtcd.
lyw exclaimed the squire. "Then said
the major d" lose no time fight seven duels
in Ireland aud five in England, shoot two
or three men in each country and get a
wound in every limb Of your body, and
then return, and 1 will fight you, for then
you will be my match; till then, l must
esteem you as green lad. When you
have done this, I will order gross of bul.
lets and two or three cases of pistols; we
will begin early in the morning, and de-
pend upon it we will have fighting
enough" This rebuke, gravely delivered,
struck the squire dumb, and relieved
the company from this very idle, prepos.
ferrous bombast. The major was one Of
the most fashionable and we'll bred men in
Ireland and when he had the misfortune
of falling into dispute, it was from dis
position to correct impertnence, rather
than personal improperly.

Good Story on Gen. jackson.

In his " Anecdotes of Public men,"
published occasionally in the Philadelphia
Press, Col. John w. Forney tells the fol.
lowing, which he had heard from the lips
Of ex-President Buchanan at a dinner
party once at the residence of John T.
Sullivan in Washington City. Colonel
Forney thus gives:
Shortly after Mr. Buchanan's return
from Russia in 1884, to which he had
been sent by President Jackson in 1882,
and Immediately following his election 70
| the Senate of the United States by tho
Legislature of Pennsylvania, to Gil tho
unxpred term Of William Wilkins,
resigned. who, in his turn, was sent to sue.
ceed Buchanan in the same foreign mis-.
sion, Buchanan called upon Old Hickory
with a fair English lady, whom he desired
to present to the head Of the American
nation. Leaving her in the reception room
down stairs, he ascended to the Presidents
private quarters and found Gen. Jackson
unshaved, unkempt, in his dressing gown,
with his sippered feet on the fender be.

cob pipe of the old Southern school. He
stated his object, when the General said he
would be very glad to meet the handsome
acquaintance of the new bachelor Senator,
Mr.. Buchanan was always careful of his
personal appearance, and, in some respects,
was a sort of masuline Miss Fribble, ad-
dictcd to spotless cravats and huge collars
rather proud of small foot for man of
his large stature, and to the last Of his life
what the ladies would call ga very good
figure" Having just returned from a
visit to the fashionable continental |
circles, after two years of thorough
Intercourse with the etiquette of one Of the
stateiest courts in Europe, he was some-
what shocked at the idea of the President
meeting the eminent English lady in such
guise, and venturcd to ask if he did not
intend to change his attire, whereupon the
old warrior rose, with his long pipe 10 his

by attending to his own business. Tell
the lady will see her presently"
The man who became President in 1856
was fond of saying that this remark Of
Andrew Jackson humiliated him more than
any rebuke he had ever received. He
walked down stairs to meet his fair charge.
and in a very short time President Jackson
entered the room, dressed in full suit Of
black, cleauly shaved, with his stubborn
white hair forced back frou his remarka-

Britisher, saluted her with most kingly
grace. As she left the White House she
exclaimed to her escort, "Your republic

How Ivory is MADE.-A scientific
journal describes the process of making
artiticiel ivory from rubber: Two pounds
ofpure rubber are dissolved in thirty.two
pounds of choloform, and the solution is
saturated with current of ammonia gas.
When the rubber has been completely
bleached, the admission of the gas is inter-
rupted and the mass is transferred into o
vessel provided with stirrer, in which it
is washed with hot water, until the bleach
ing agent is entirely removed. During
this operation, the temperature may be
increased to 1S0 degrees Fahrenheit, in
order to evaporatc the chloro!orm, which,
by conducting it into an apparatus Of con.
deusation may again be made use of. The
remaining product forms a kind Of froth,
which being pressed out, dried again trea-
ted with small quantity Of chloroform. is
finally obtained as a consistent paste. This
paste is now mixed with a sufficient guam.
tity Of finely pulverised phosphate of lime
or carbonet Of zinc, until it assumes the
appearance of moist -four. In this condi-
ton it is pressed in hot moulds, which il
leaves sufficiently hard to be turned,
planed, filed, and bored. To order to imi.
tate corals, pearls, enamels, hard woods,
&C., it is only necessary to mix tho paste
with the desired colors previously to its
being compressed.

New Hampshire Democratic Plat
form.

We herewith give the platform of the
Democracy of New Hampshire. which has
the ring of the true metal, and is responded
to heartily by all true Democrats
Resolced That the Democratic party of
the United States, in Convention assembled,
declare their adhesion to certain principles
by them hitherto maintained, and which, in
victory or defeat, they will never surrender.
First-The permanent and binding
authority of the constitution over all de-
partments Of Government and all States Of
the Union, to the extent of the power there
in granted.
Second-The exemption ofevery State
from any interference or control not clear
ly warranted by the Constitution.
Thrd-That the interference by the
President of the United States with the
military powers of the Union in elections,
to overawe the people and control the
right of suffrage, is treason to the Constitu-
tion.
Fourth-Thc right Of every State to an
equal participation in the Government, as
guaranteed by the constitution.
Fiith-The separation and proper indie
pendence of the Executive, Legislative and
Judicial Departments, as provided by the
Constitution.
Sixth-No privileged classes or privi-
legged capital.
Seventh-An honest and economical ad-
ministration of the Government for the
good of the people and not to the interests
of monopolists, thieves and plunderers of
the public treasury and the National do
main.
Eighth--That we are in favor of a
revenue tariff that raises money for the
support of the Federal Government, and
are opposed to protective tariff which
taxes the people for the benefit Of monop-
olists
Nintl-That we are opposed to the pre-
sent system of taxation, which is based upon
an inequality burdensome to the working
classes, while the best interests Of the
country demand that all classes of property
should bear equally the burdens of the
Government.
Teuth-That the importation of Chinese
coolies, to be held in bondage by monopo-
lizing capitalists at low rates Of wages,
cannot fail to degrade the dignity OF
American labor by competition, and intro
duce into our social system an element
which will cndanger the peace and we'll
being Of our country.
Eleveuth-That we are compelled BY
profound convictions of their injustice and
impolicy, to record our solemn protest
against the leading measures Of the Ma
tonal Administration and VIC pledge all
the power with which we may be intrusted
to earnest efforts to lessen the expenditures
of the Government, to reduce and equal
ize taxation, to hasten the extinction Of the
public debt, and by honest legislation to
protect the public domain against the
rapacity of spectators and robbers, and
restore cordial union and fraternity to the
States and tho people Of the Republic.

FRENCH PoLITENEss.--A young gent
leman, lodging in narrow street Of Paris,
lately conceived himself enamored Of I
lady who appeared occasionally At an op-
posite window. With the freedom OF
modern Lovelaces, he enclosedi copper
coin in billct-doux, to give it the neces-
sary weight, and threw it with suficient
force, against the closed sash, to break :
pane of glass and 80 through. His own
window was left open, and, in few min
utes after cold roast chicken entered from
the opposite side. to the leg Of which was
attached the following note: g Monsieur,
You take advantage Of a means Of 90.

to have read the Spanish romauces 70

however, allow me to express q wish that,
in your future love-letters to her By tha
same post, you will let the enclosed weight
be of sacer instead of copper, that may
be able to repair the broken pane Of glass
at your expense.
Your humble servant, x"

70 The fences of the United States
cost more than the houses, cities included
more than the ships, vessels and boats OF
every description which sail on the ocean,
lakes and rivers; more than our manufac'
tories, with all their machinery, and more
than any one class Of property, real estate
excepted Those of New York are put
down at 1000, 900; those of Ohio at
Sll5,000,0O0, and Pennsylvania at $780,.
100000. At this rate the money invested
in fences alone is nose than equal to the
national debt. As fences require to be
renewed, on an average once in ten years,
the annual cost to the country is not far
short of $500, 100000.
