Lot is word which, in its application
to lard. i unknown in England and
universal III tie United States. 1t had
its rise in an old Puritan custom.
Byas, colored legislator of South
Carolina, undertook to eowhide Mr.. Tom

a few days since at Columbia. Tonlin-
son did not take it kindly, and emptied
the contents of derringer into the per-
son of Sambo. The negro died. Tom
linson was acquitted.
The following rather equivocal com
pliment passed between a couple Of
young stays on their way from the
Nilsson opera at Cincinnati: Mr.. A.
"John, didn't you see my sweetheart to-
night? And didn't she look bully?"
John (languidly)-" Yes-ah--she did
look a little 'beefy that's trueH "
Sentimental Louisville editors give
vent to the poetical in the following
strain: "Sweet, angelic Nilsson! much
as Louisville admires you, you only come
second, after all. Though about your
lips, in infancy, was heard the hum OF
the classic bees, yet every man in the
world has some voice of his Utmost
heart which, to him, is sweeter, far
than even your own.

assigned by Mr.. Perkins for his refusal
Is that he was at one time witness in
capital case, and his testimony led tc
the execution Of boy who had killed
another youth in Kentucky. At that
time Mr.. Perkins registered vow in
heaven never again to appear as a wit
ness in capital case. He has great
respect for our criminal court, but more
respect for his solemn oath. -
