Blundering Into Wealth.

An advertisement in the Boston newspaper
announcing the sale at auction of the Dexter
property in NewburypOrt, brings to mind
numerous stories current in that city respecting
the eccentric individual who fOurished there in
the latter part of the last century, under the self
assumed title of Lord Timothy Dexter This was
the fortunate merchant who with brains either
so Scant or disordered that he was continually
making himself an object of deris0n, still
blundered into what, in those days was con-
sidered a stupendOus fortune. 1t was this
Dexter who, on consulting waggisk acquaint-
ance as to profitable way of investing certain
moneys, was advised to ship a cargo of warm
ing-pans to the West Indies, and avaed him
self OF the advice, to the great mirth of all who
heard of the transaction. The cream of the joke,
however, was the warming pans found sale to
the sugar manufacturers for ladies', and Dexter
realized great profit on the venture. A ship.
ment of red wooden night-caps to the coast OF
Guinea, suggested as joke, turned out as a
most fortunate speculation. Somebody wish.
| ing to humbug the old fellow, told him one daS
that news had come that all the whales were
dying off Dexter went to work and bought
up all the whalebone he could get hold of
fairly "cOrnering" the market, after which hC
unloaded at an immense profit. Having a
last blundered into great wealth. he assumed
the title OF Lord Dexter, and spent grea
deal Of money in laying out attractive ground
about his house, but ruined the effects pro
duced by skillful gardners by setting up il
every direction carved wooden figures OF th
most hideOus description. Twenty-Five year
ago some OF these figures were still to be sect
on the grounds. Lord Dexter becomiu

book with the title of "A Pickle for tn

HENRY CLAY.-A few years since, shortly
after the agitation of the famous COMPENSATION
bill in Congress, Mr.. Clay, who voted in favor
of the bill, found formidable opposition
arrayed against his reelection. After address

the opening Of the poll, he stepped down into
the crowd, when he met an old and influential
friend of his, named Scott, one of the first set
tiers of Kentucky, and Of course in his younger
days, a great huntsman. The gentleman. step
ping up, addressed Mr. CT yas follows: "Well,
well, Harry, I've been with you in six troubles
Pm sorry [ must desert you in the seventh;
you have voted for that miserable compensa-
tion bill must now turn my back upon you" "
