Colonel John Caldwell tells an an.
ecdote well. lie applies the following
to a Garfield party; An old field
schoolmaster had among his pupils a
sprightly boy who had worked through
the double rule Of three, and who
thought he could work almost any
sum the teacher could give him. One
Friday evening he called the boy up
and told him he had a sum for him to
work, which was this: "In a well for
ty feet deep there is frog, and this
frog jumps ten feet up every day, and
tails back twenty feet every night;
how long will it take the frog to get
out of the well ?"
The boy said he would take it home
with him and bring the answer Mon
day morning. Accordingly on Mon.
day he came into the school-house with
both sides of his slate covered with
figures and his copy.book figured all
over In addition to all this, he had
several shingles under his arm, and
they were also full of figures.
The old teacher asked him if he had
been at work on the sum and if so,
"where is the frog now? p
The boy replied that the frog was
now in three-quarters of a mile of hell,
and still Jumping in that direction
Border Minstrel.

Hon. Lyman Trumbull, Democrat
ic candidate for the Govornorship Of
Illinois, is happier IN bis replies &c
interruptions during speaking than is
John Sherman. In the midst Of bis
recent speech at Duquoin a colored
man in the crowd wanted the speaker
TO tell what he meant by the constiiu.
tional doctrines and traditions of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Trumbull
took some pains to give the informa.
ton, and closed by saying:
"Now, then, what we mean by 60
ing back to the traditions of the faith
ers is going back to economy, to sim.
plicity in the government, to an hon.
est administration Of its affairs, to
rescuing the government from the
hands Of plunderers; and the tradi-
tons Of the fathers mean that honest,
simple, plain government of equality,
which was announced by Jefferson
that all men are created equal and en-
dowed by their inalienable rights,
among which are life, liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness. Loud and con

friend, ] drafted the Constitutional
Amendment that made you free;
renewed cheers and waving of hats
and, more than that, after that Con.
stitutional Amendment was adopted
and you could not get your civil
rights-there were laws in the South

to go where you pleased, and to make
contracts and TO enforce them-this
hand drew the Civil Rights Bill that
protected you in your civil rights.
Renewed cheers. And now ! sup
pose you will allow some man to come
along here to Duquoin and say-"Oh !
theseDemocrats want to re-cnslave us. "
Who made you freey Sumner and
Chase and Greeley-were not we the
men that did it? And every one Of
them you came out against, misled by
the falsehoOds and ISLANDERS and lies Of
parties that 60 through the community

that they want to re-establish slavery.
Nobody but n fool will believe it.
