Daniel Webster's First Plea.

Ebenezer Webster, father of Daniel,
was farmer. The vegetables In his
garden suffered considerably fom the
depredations Of a woodchuck, whose
hold and habitation was near the prem
ises. Daniel, some ten years old, and
his brother Ezekiel had set trap and
ut last succeeded in catching the tres :
passer. Ezekiel proposed to kill the
animal aud end at once all further trouble
with him, but Daniel looked with com
passion upon his neck, dumb captive,
and offered to let him go. The boys
could not agree, and each appealed to his
father to decide the case.
well, my boys" said tho old gentle
man, 81 viii! be Judge aud you shall be
counsel to plead the case for and against
his liberty"
Ezekiel opened the case with a strong
argument urging the mischicvous nature
Of the criminal, the great harm he had
already done, said that much time and
labor had beea spent in his capture aud
now if suffered to go at large, he would
renew his depredations, and be cuaninc
enough not to be caught again and that
he ought now be put to death, that his
skin was of some value, and that, make
the most Of him they could, it would not
repay him half the damage ho had done
His argument was ready, PRACTICAL, and
to the poiut, and of much greater length
than our limit will allow us to occupy
in relating the story.

son who became distinguished jurist

best parlor chairs to sec if the pips fits,
and his wife makes him get down for
fear he will scratch the varuish off the
chair with the nails in his boot heel. Io
getting down he will surely step on the
cat, and may thank his stars if it is not
the baby. Then he gets an old chair,
and climbs up to the chimney again, to
find that in cutting the pipo off the end it
has been left too big Tor the hole in the
chimney. So Che goes to the woodshed,
and splits on one side OF the end of the
pipe with an old axe, and squeczes il Sin
his hands to make it smaller. Finally
he gets the pipe in shape, and finds that
the stove does not stand true. Then
himself and wifessand hired girl moves
the stove to tho loft, and the legs fall
out again. The next move is to the
right. More difficulty with the legs.

tipping over, to the great alarm of his
wife. He then gets the dlnner-table
out, puts the old chair on it, gets his
wife to hold the chair, and balances him
self on it to drive some nails iuto the
ceiling. Drops the hammer on his wife's
head. AT last gets the nails driven,

a FULL PLEDGED MEXICAN CIRCUS AND
DROVE OF WILD BULLS IN BRooKuyS.

Our readers must have noticed for !
some days past caravan passing
through the streets, from the interior of
which b:.,ss baud thunders forth
STANCE melodies With much brayiug of
j !ssa.nsnts: while bshind the

file, wearing the serapcs and huge s.m.
hrcros vi the Mexican valuero or cattle
herdsnan. These men ride small. but
vigorous and fleet mustang ponies, and
are the most daring horscmen probably
that have ever visited New York city.
Recently, at tile Capitoline Grounds in
Brooklyn, this Mexican circus company
exhibited in presence of small but
select audience. Those who have read
Maync Reid's highly sensational hunting
novels may have formed some idea of
what these hardy vaqucrors of the

can frontiers can do in the way ofridiny,
with or without saddle. AS it is. it is
necessary to see tho performance to
uudcrstand it. There are nine horse
men III the company, Who have all been
bred in Mexico and Texas from child
hood, the principal Of whom are named
Thomas, an Amcrican- NJ exican; Morosco,
Carquiero, Kossuth and Lopez. Thomas
was the chief ranchero for President
Bcnlto JuarcZ, who had ninety farms in
the sister Republic, and he is certainly
one OF the most expert horsemcn we
have ever beheli. While dashiug ut
headlonS speed ON his fiery mustang he
stopped, without stopping his speed, aud
picked up white handkerchief from
the grass. Leeu then was the next to
appear on the scene. a savage and
cnraged Texan bull was brought forth,
and Leon successfully threw the lasso
over his horns and brought him up
standing OH his hind legs, although he
made desperate efforts togorc the specta-
tors, who ran wildly out Of his reach.
Then Leon jumped ON his back, rode him
around the ground 10 tho bulls utter dis
comfture, and all the while smok ed
Havana segar with the greatest coolness
possible. CarQuier threw a wild mustang
a campete somerset by the tail while the
latter was going at full speed IA most
astonishing feat. -Four Of the riders,
while going at speed that made the spec
tators dizzy il the twinkling of an eye,,
drew up in m even liue, the mustangs
painting and endeavoring to break loose
from the inevitable grasp ftheir riders
A smart pony, with as many tricks in him
as Ben Butler possesses, was lassoed by
the riders and brought up standing. Then
there was u pony race to soc who should
own the odd steer, as is customary with
vaqueros in Mexico, and no such speed
has ever been seen on race track in
America as vas made ina spurt of tbree.
