Story Of James Gordon Benefits Good
and Brilliant Qualities and Deeds.

Story Of James Gordon Benefits Good
and Brilliant Qualities and Deeds.
From the New York sun
His manners were c0urtly and elegant.
without pretensiOn and without affectation
and no man could be more charming to
those admitted to his society He was
always liked by his employees and assist
ants, but he never sought for advise, and
those who pressed their cOunsels upon him,
never gained much from their efforts
OF all Mr.. Benefits qualities, that which
was most appreciated was his wit. This
was peculiar and incessant Though unlike
the wit of any other man, everybody I'M
aerstoOd it. 1t was never labOred or far
fetched, and its iollity and apparent good
nature even when employed in the de-
stTucnon of an adversary, made it delight
tuL. For years this wit constituted one of
the principal attractions of the Herald,
ana When everything else failed it could
always be relied upon. Mr.. Benefits
moral courage was also equal to every
test, Inc herald was never afraid. and
never cowed before tine most formidsbIa
adversary One of the most striking in
stances of this was its adherence to Fro
mont and the Republican party IN 1855 m
to that time Mr.. Bennett had rather s,,,t,
ported the Democracy, and had advocates
the compromises of 1880 INCLUDING tba In
gitive slave law, but when the Re6uhIican
party entered upon that surprising canvass
they found, to their astonishment that tbe
great power of the Herald was enlisted on
their side. Everybody supposed that the
prosperity of the piper would be impaired
by this new departure, but it was not so.
Its right to liberty and its own course of
action had been maintained IN too many
deadly fights to be disputed now. The
Democrats continued to read it as much as
ever, and doubtless many of them were in
duced by its fresh, brilliant and often noble
articles against the extension of slavery. TO
give their sufrages to the candidate Of the
new party.

The PooR.-Moore of the Rural New York,
was sitting in his Office one afternoon, some
wears ago, when farmer friend came in and
said
Mr.. Moore, | like your paper, but times are
so hard that cannot pay for it.
rs that sofriend Jones2 I'm very sorry
to hear you are so poor; if you are so hard run
l will give you my paper.
.'Oh, no! | can't take it as gilt
'Well, then, let's see how we can h1 It.
You raise chickens, believe.
yes, few, but they don't bring anything,
Don't they Neither does my paper cost
ANYTHING hardly Now have proposition to
make to you. l will continue your pa
per and when you go home you may
select from your lot of chickens one aud
call it mine. Take good care of her and bring
me the proceeds, whether in eggs or chickens,
and we shall call it square.
ssAl right, Brother Moore, and the fellow
chuckled at what be thought capital bargain;
He kept the contract strictly and at the end OF
the year found that be had paid four prices
for his paper. He often tells the joke himself,
and he says he never had the face to say ne
was too poor to take paper from that day

VALLEY RAnRoaD.-We understand that
the city OF Baltimore will issue its bonds for its
subscription to the Valley Railroad Company
when the conditions of that subscription have

towns or individuals along the line of the road,
and that provision should be made to secure a
sufficient sum to ensure the completion OF the
road to Salem The first condition mentioned
has been complied with. but as yet. the seconc
