GOLD ROUGH AND READY"

President Taylor was probably the
only President to Whone the presi.
dency was an uncoveted and unsought.
for boon. Mrs. Taylor was SO averse
to public life that it was said she pray
ed every night during his candidacy
for his defeat, and when told of his
election said: "Why could they let Us
alone? We are so happy here. Why
do they want to drag us to Washing
ton?' Who that ever saw Gen. 'Tay.
Tor at levee could forget him? He
grasped every new conner cordially by
the hand, and salluted all, high and
low, old maids, brides, young girls, all
with the words: ,,Glad to see you.
Glad to see you. How's your family?
Hope the children are all WE'LL" His
greeting was almost equal to Rips
toast: "Here's to you and your family.
May you live long and prosper" He
hardly ever opened his mouth without
making a mistake, and people laughed
heartily. Still they loved him, trusted
his judgment, and knew his heart and
hand were as true as steel; and when
he died the whole nation was a mourn
err at his grave. When Maj. d. return
cd from Europe he introduced him ut
Il dinner party as tsNIy friend d., just
from Berlin, Austria" During his
candidacy Col. W., State clector Of,
after discussing several public topics,
asked him what were his views on the
tariff. "The what, Jack?" said Gen.
Taylor, who suffered dreadfully. "The
tariff, general" said Col. w. "Why,
what's that?" "It's 4 size g,,u n0n,"
said Col. W., who was one of the
greatest wags that ever lived, :.that
the people are much excited about
now" GA size 1'ta non," said Gen.
Taylor, slowly. 81 believe, Jack, l

In Iowa, $50 miles west of Dubuque,
lies what is known as the HWallcd
Lake." body of water covering $500
acres, and whose surface is between
two and three feet higher than the
ground about it. In some places the
water is twcnty-siX feet deep; it is
clear and cold, and has no apparent
inlet or outlet. 1t is confined by a
wall of stone, in some places ten feet
high and fifteen feet thick Mt the base
The stones used in building it vary in
size, from 100 pounds to three TONS
In the country around the lake there
are no other stones within circuit of
five or ten miles, but belt of wood
land composed of oak makes the en-
tire circumference of it. 1t is thought
that the trees were planted there at
the time the wall was built, and for
that reason the wall cannot be of great
antiquity. The Dubuque Herald says,
however, that no one can form an idea
as to the means employed to bring the
stones, or who constructed the wall.
In the spring of 1856, during heavy
storm, the ice on the lake broke down
the wall in several places, and the
farmers in the neishborhood were
obliged to repair the damage, to pre-
vent an inundation.

ahead of his ticket. There is also scratch
ing for the offices of Treasurer and Secre-

among the Germans and Scandinayians.

that the debt payers viii have a small ma
iority in both houses.
The Whig, the leading organ of the Re-
