and swift judgment upon the monster
who met his fate near Bethlehem prove
that Judge Lynch holds court above as
we'll as below Mason and Dixon lines
and that the sluggish blood of the Penn
sylvania Dutchman can Ike stirred to
visit summary redress for public wrongs
as we'll as that of the mercurial South
erner.

esq DEAR SIR Yours Of the oath, ask
ing the best mode of obtaining 4 thorough
knowledge of the law is received. Tho
mode is very simple, though laborious and
tedious. 1t is only to get the books an'
read and study them carefully. Begin
with Blackstone's Commentaries ant
after reading it carefully through, say,
twice, take up Chitty's 'PIeadings,
Greenlears Evidence and Storey's
Equity &C., in succession. Work, work,
work is the main thing. Yours, very
truly, A. LINCOLN"
GARFIELD is not very expert horse
man, and he sometimes shows little ali
sent-mindedness that amuses his neigh
bors. 1t is his habit to drive to church OF
Sundays with his family, unattended by a
servant. He will not allow his team to
stand out in the cold during service, but
unhitches and puts his horses in friends
barn near the church. Last Sunday, after
service, he hitched his span Of black colts
to his wagon and forgot to buckle the lines
to the bits. The consequence was that
when he got into the wagon and started
the team he camo very near having run
away. When the team was stopped and
the lines buckled, an old farmer gravely
remarked General, you will have to do
better than that when you take the reins
of government, or the political mules will
get away with you.'
