Too Many Have Piece ofthe Hog,

The Credit Mobilicr business "didn't
kiver enough ground" during the late can
vass. But it is now somewhat in the con-
dition of Bill Apps last application for a
turlou2h-in which he stated the whole
history OF his lile-"it kivers entirely too
much" One ofthe late Mr.. Lincoln's little
anecdotes will explain why.
Mr. Lincoln had been retained as coup-
sci for fellow accused of stealing six fine
hogs. The trial came on and the witnesses
for the State proved the theft beyond all
question and identified Mr. Lincoln's client
as the thief When the testimony had
closed Mr.. l.. turned to the thief and said,
"Iscc no ground for any defence in this case,
sir Ii the witnesses are to be believed you
are guilty, and | cannot make anything
else out of it ?n
Never mind my guilt" said the coniid-
ing client. "Jes get up and abuse them
witnesses like the devil and spread your.
selfon general principles!"
Mr.. Lincoln did as he was told. The
jury retired and in less than half an hour,
much to the surprise of court and counsel,
returned a verdict of 'not guilty!"
81 don't understand this" said Mr.. Lin
coin, turning to his client as he spoke :;
"thesc fellows must have misunderstood"
"Not id bit Oft" answered the sa-
gacious client, with q knowing wink
"I You see, Squire, e0e1y one CftAcm ere fd-
bers had q piece o them hogs i'
We think the Credit Mobilicr business
will fail to result in much, because too many

Is a well-spring of pleasure" says some one
of our poets, but lady at our elbow, who
has had ample opportunity of testing the
correctness of the observation, suggests that
if the writer had applied the remark to
Sewing Machine instcd ola baby, he would
have been nearer the truth. And we doubt
not that she is right for who that knows
anything of the labor saving character of
Sewing Machines can doubt that the pres
ence Of one of them in house is indeed Il
source ofdeep and never-endng pleasure
Take, for instance the new Elias Howe
machine, now admitted to be, by far, the
best and most reliable for family use. This
machine hens, fell, quilts, plaits, braids,
tucks, gathers and sews on, ETC., and per-
forms its work with such unerring regular
ity and extraordinary speed that we are
almost constrained to look with admiration
npon the man through whose genius it was
given to the world. There is no machine
which suits the family so well, and for
manufacturing purposes it is equally reli-
able and effective, always performing its
work correctly, and always giving satisfac-
Commercial. w. T, Howard ACT,
at Mrs. Ashtons opposite the Court House,
Bel Air, the most liberal terms are offered
to all who desire to purchase by monthly
payments of five and ten dollars, and no
pains or expense are spared to give full in
structions and thorough satisfaction to every
customer.

Washington Irving once said ola pom,
pous American diplomatist "Ah, he is
great man, in his own estimation, very
great man, man of great weight. When
he goes to the west, the cast tips up.
They have sharp lawyers down East.
Que of them, marketing for dinner, asks
a poultry dealer, as that turkey young
one p eyes sir" "Will you take your
oath Of it !" certainly I will" Lawyer
administers the oath, charges dollar for
the service, and takes his pay in poultry.
"A good story is told of Judge Rice.
About the commencement of the war he
made a speech in North Alabama in which
he said that the Southern soldiers could
whip the yankees with pop guns. Since
the war, he Glanced to make another speech
at the same place. A big double jointcd
fellow was present who heard and remem-
bercd the former speech, and being in no
admirable frame of mind, concluded to 90
for Sam. Rolling up his sleeves and pop
ping his fist in the palm ofhis hand, he pro-
pounded the fearful question:
"Sam Rice, didn't you make a speech
here in 1861 ?"
81 did," said Sam.
"And didn't you say that we could whip
the yankees with pop guns2"
"CertainlyI did, but the id rascals
wouldn't fight us that way
