Senator Vance, of North Carolina,
frequently illustrates his speeches with
anecdotes, OF rather parallels, which he
relates in a manner that seldom fails to
bring down the house, no matter how
much the majority may disagree with
him politically. Speaking one day
against bill which he considered
"penny wise but pound foolish" he
said it reminded him of kind old man
who lives at the top of a hill in North
Carolina. One day WAGNER came by
and unfortunately got his team ':stalled"
at the foot of the hill. To the old mans
house he went, asking the loan of pair
of mules and a Fifth chair" to help
him up the hill. Said the kind old man |:
My friend, 1 have not got pair OF
mules or fifth chain to save your life.
But am always anxious to help man
in distress 1 can lend you the best fid-
die you ever drew bow across"
