Webster as a Teamster.

GA. A. H." writes as follows to the
Wconsocket, R. l., Pdtri0t:: The fol-
lowing story of Daniel Webster, it is
believed, has never before appeared in
print. The writer had it secondhand
from the venerable Governor Nesmitb.
of New Hampshire, who. it is well
known, was one of the most intimate
of Webster's personal friends. How
the great statesman, while on a visit
to his farm in Franklin, New Hamp
shire, used occasionally to disport him.
self by calling together few of his
faYorite friends, and, equipped with
gun and line, taking a trip of day or
two among the wilds of the Granite
State, is all matter of history. On
one of these occasions, as the sporting
party's carriage was approaching
considerable hill, it appeared in the
distance that an OK team was stuck in
the roadway at the foot of the hill.
The driver, genuine farmer of the
vicinage, was doing his best with
whip and lungs to urge on the two
yoke of oxen, but, though they
seemed to pull what they could, the
wheels made not an inch of pro-
gress. The farmer piled his goad and
roared out all the usual bucolic lingo
cha, Golden Ha, Broad Gee,
Bright! Star-S-t-a-r!"-but is was of
no use; the wheels were set. The
nearer the Websterian carriage ap-
preached the more did the farmer put
in to show himself master of the situa-
ton. The good oxen kept pulling,
but the wheels did not go round. At
length the carriage arrived near at hand
and stopped, and the party for min
ute or two watched the proceedings.
Presently, without saying a word,
Webster dismounted from the carriage,
and in his most stately manner walked
| forward and exclaimed with command
ing voice, "GIve me that whip 2" The
farmer surrendered it Internationally
and retired to safe distance. Imme-
diately the expounder began to flourish
high the whip over the backs and
heads of the bovine four and to ad-
dress them in tones of authority not
to be mistaken. The oxen at once
dropped their horns and stralghtway
twitched the cart out of the rut-holes
and triumphantly pulled up the hill
amid the exultant cheers of the specta-
tor party in the carnage and to the ut
ter amazement of the farmer, who, il
Is said, looked as if Omnipotence him.
self had descended upon the earth to
take possession Of his ox-team. AT
the same time with the above, Cover
nor Nesmith told my informant other
capital things characteristic of the
Farmer Statesman" and in the course
of his narrative remarked that he had
heard Webster mary times IN the Sen.
ate, in the forum and on the rostrum,
but that he had heard his most clio
quent as well as most profound utter.
ance at times when off in the woods
or upon the hills, in the presence of the
favored few Who accompanied him in
the rusticatiDg jaunts. The scenery,
the quietude, and even the very loneli
ness of the place, appeared to inspire
him with unwon,ed sentiment and
power, and he would unexpectedly
break forth, now in discourse upoE
the beauties and wonders of the natu
raj world, and again on some public
topic upon, which he had amasseO
thought, but to pour it out, perhaps,
for the first time in the wilderness.
