AnerGote of Tom CorWin.

When quite young man Tom Cor
win was elected a member of the
General Assembly of the State Of
Ohio, and early in the session he
brought a bill for the destruction of
the public whipping-post- He made
an earnest speech in favor of the
measure, to which an elderly Iaem-
Der replied as follows: "Mr. Speaker,
the gentleman Is not as old az / am,
and has not seen as much of the prac
teal operation of the system of pun
ishment which we desire to abolish.
When | lived in Connecticut, if a fel-
low stole a horse, or cut up other an
ties, we used to tie him up and give
him a real good ,hrashiRg, and he al
ways cleared right out, and we never
saw anything more Of him. It's the
best way Of getting rid of the rogues
that was ever tried, without expense
to the State" Mr.. Corwin, who
never failed to carry his point by
joke, if the argument was against
him, only made the brief reply: ''Mr
Speaker, | have often been puzzled
to account for the vast emigration
from Connecticut to the West, but
the gentleman last up has explained
it to my satisfaction" 1t is almost
needless to say that Mr.. Corwin's bill
passed by an overwhelming majority.

The Declaration of Independence.

Mr.. Jefferson used to relate, with
much merriment, that the final sign
ing of the Declaration of Indcpend-
ence was FASTENED by an absurdlv
trivial cause. Near the hal in which
the debates were then held was a
livery stable, from which swarms of
flies came into the open windows and
assailed the silk-stockinged legs of
honorable members. Handkerchief
in hand they lashed the flies with
such vigor as they could command on
a July afternoon; but the annoyance
became at length so extreme as to
render them impatient OF delay, and
they made haste to bring the momen-
tous business to n close. After such
a long and severe strain upon their
minds, members seem to have indulg-
ed in many a jOcular observation as
they stood around the table Tradi-
tion has il that when John Hancock
had affixed his magnificent signature
to the paper he said; There, John
Bull may read my name without
spectacles :" Tradition, also, will
never relinquish the pleasure of re-
peating that, when Mr.. Hancock re-
minded the members of the necessity
of hanging together, DR. Franklin was
ready with his "Yes, we must indeed
all hang together, or else, most assur-
edly. we shall all hang separately
And this may have suggested TO the
portly Harrison-a luxurious, heavy
gentleman" as John Adams described
him-his remark to slender Eldridge
Gerry, that when the hanging came
he should have the advantage, for
poor Gerry would be kicking in the
air long after it was all over with
himself. French critics censure
Shakespeare for mingling buifoonery
with scenes of the deepest tragic in
tercst But here we find one of the
most important assemblies ever con-
vened, at the supreme moment of its
existence, while performing the act
which gives its rank among deliber-
ate bodies, cracking jokes, aud hurry
ing up to the table to sign, in order to
get away from the flies. 1t is pre-
cisely so that Shakespeare would have
imagined the scene.

The Temperance State Ticket.

The fact is never disputed that the
great body of temperance men are
Republicans. and whether they are
induced by Republicans, TO be sober
men, or are Republicans because they
are temperance men, we do not pro-
pose to discuss, but the fact, as we
state it, is admitted BY all who give
the matter any attention. Now, what
good can temperance men hope TO ae-
complish, by running an independent
ticket for Governor, Supreme Judge
and Auditor Generaly The most
visionary adherent of that good cause,
does not expect to elect any of these
candidates, and, therefore, every vote
for the temperance State ticket, cast
by Republican, is just so much in
favor of the Democratic ticket, and a
direct blow at the Republican NOM
inees. The intelligent Republican
who is sincerely attached to the prin-
ciples of his party can at once appre-
ciate the situation when confronted
by such facts. The Democracy en-
courage the pOlitieo-temperance move
ment, because they hope to accom-
plish two results thereby, namely,
bring the cause of temperance to re-
proach, and overwhelm the Republi-
can party in disaster We submit
these facts to the honest temperance
man who is Republican, a consider
alton of which will at once convince
him that he is sought to be made
tool by his bitterest enemy actually to
destroy his dearest and most cherish
ed moral and political principles. The
success of the Democratic party
has always been regarded as an i'm
pediment to labor and moral reform
and he who votes against a Republi-
can candidate for the humblest Office
in the gift of ths people, is sure to
give aid and comfort to the bitterest
opponents which social progress and
true political and moral reform have
ever had in this country.

billings ON "Oats.'

Oats are a singular grain, perhaps |
should say plural, because there is
more than one of them.
( They grow on top Of a straw about

The straw is interesting for It's

Short pieces of it, about inches or
so, dipt in the buzzum Of sherry cob

stand around ready to prove this if

This suckseun is said to be a dead
sure thing.
Oats is sharp at both ends. Tha
resemble shu pegs in looks, and build,
and it is said and are often mistaken
for them by near-sighted horses and
shu-makers.

All YOU have to DO to raise oats is

" proceeded: Far be it from me to
say anything respecting the decision
| of the court" The Judge started
with gesture Of depreciation. as If
he apprehended an indiscretion on
the part of the lawyer. II am quite
aware of the apparent indclieacy of
saying anything that should look like
an attempt to influence the action of
the court" Here the Chief Justice
gave dissatisfied shrug of the shOul-
dcrs, intended as rebuke of what he
regarded as an impertinence. But
John was wholly unmoved, and went
ON with his remarks, as though he
was saying the most natural and APP
propriate thing imaginable. "Nor
would | presume to intimate that an
early decision of the case is desira-
ble." The Judge opened his eyes in
amazement, but remained silent
"But the truth is, your Honor" con-
timed John, "thepoor devils at Quar-
antinc are perishing daily, and it is
of the utmost Importance that they
shoald learn whether they are dying
constitutionally."
Approaching Johns waggery at
last, the Chief Justice, much rcliev-
ed, gave way to a hearty laugh, and
the conversation came to an end.
John Van Buren had in him the
making of great lawyer and a states
man of commanding power. He
lacked nothing but industry and stead
mess of purpose. Quick Of percep-
ton, with fine faculties, uncommon
logical powers, and abundant imagi-
nation, he never failed to command
the admiring attention of his audito-

John Van Bnren and Chief Justice
Taney.

Nearly a quarter of a century ago
the Legislature of New York enacted
a law imposing capitat;On tax upOr
immigrants arriving from Europe and
landing at Quarantine A question
was raised in respect to the constitu-
tiomlity of this law, and the case
was ultimately taken to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Mr.
Seward made the argument on one
side, and John Van Buren, on the
other. The trial attracted considera-
bic interest, not so much from the I'M
portance of the question involved as
from the reputation and pol teal po-
sition of the opposing counsel
Mr.. Seward was Senator in Con-
gress, and the great Wing leader OF
the State; while Van Buren, was the
most brilliant orator and most popu-
lar man on the Democratic side. They
were rivals at the bar, having then
recently been engaged in the trial of
the negro murderer Freeman, at Au-
burn, during which there had been
much sharp alteration between them.
The Wings in Congress warmly SYM
pathized with Seward, while the Dem
ocrats were equally active and zeal
Gus in encouraging Van Buren. The
arguments were elaborate and able,
the impression being that the Senator
was more Of a statesman than law
yer, but that Van Buren, was one of
the most entertaining, impressive, and
effective advocates that had ever been
heard in the court.
Judge fancy presided, one Of the
purest, most learned and able judges
that ever sat on the bench. He was
the impersonation of ones idea of the
genius of Jurisprudence. He was shy,
reserved in manner, ascetic in his
habits, gloomy, forbidding-looking
man, resembling a monk of the mid
die ages but under this cold and re-
pulsiye exterior, there beat a warm
sympathetic heart. He was literal
man, with no idea of a joke; was
never satirical or ironical, and detest-
ed a pun or a quip as much as DIR.

The day the argument was closed,
Van Buren contrived to fall in CON-
pany with the. Chief Justice IN CON-
ing down the avenue of the Capitol.
John had degree of coolness and
under all circumstances
hat nothing ever disturbed. With
an airy, jaunty manner, that would
have been offensive in anybody else.

he addressed the aged jurist:
