done in the presence of between sixty
aud seventy persons, some of whom were
Democrats aud others Freemasons, and
yet all must have seen and consented TO
the fraud. The last inquest was held

ORIGIN OF THR GOOD ENOUGH" STORY.
A few evenings before the election |
went into a billiard saloon to see my
friend Gustavos Clark. A number Of
gentlemen were present, and among them
Ebenezer Griffin, who, as counsel for sew.
eral persons indicted for the abduction of
Morgon, had conducted inquest at Ba-
tavia. AS | was leaving the room Mr..
Griffin said, "Well, Weed, what are you
going to do for a Morgan now?' l re-
piled; as | was closing the door, THAT is
a good enough Morgan until you bring
back the one you carried away" This
remark was reproduced in the Rochester
Daily Advert,ser, with an apparently
slight but most important variation, in>
stead Of what | did in fact say. l was
represented as saying, shat is a COED
enough Morgan until after the election"
What l did say IN reply to Mr.. Griffin
question was a proper and harmless res
ponsc, while what | was enormously &C
cused Of saying was highly discreditable,
aud has subjected meat home and abroad
for nearly fifty years to reproach and
oblsquy.

she thought over again her husbands

shining tears dropped down, tears of pure
JOY, drawn from the deep wells of her
love Tor her husband, of whom she thought
she never felt so fond before At the first
sound of footsteps she sprang to open the
door.

man. They had been worked to a vast ex-
tent. The turquoise mines were found near
Mount Shabby an Englishman. A report
of the British Society of Antiquaries on his
discov. ries makes this statement: " While
searching for turquoise mines. came upon
the remains of vast iron works. which
must have employed many thousand
hands" The discoveries supposed that all
these ruins were worked by the Egyptians;
but it is far more probable that they were
worked by the PhGnicians. According to
Caesars Commentaries. the iron mines of
the weald. in the English counties of Kent
and Sussex, had been worked by the kelts,
for a long period previous to his time and
he mentions that ships were fastened with
iron bolts and furnished with chain cables
made of iron. The more this subject is
explored the more manifest it is. that the
art of mining and working iron is by no
means Il modern invention, and that its
beginning is extremely ancient. and As
undsroverable as the beginning fciviliza-
ton itself.-Selccted.
