son. in the meantime, had stopped at a farmers,
where he CHANGED to find small school history
with the backs torn off. In this by the merest
accident, he saw that the same thing about Van
Buren, 10 the pamphlet sketch was repeated
He borr owed the book, and when he arrived at the
county-sea found the speaking was to take place
II school-hou Here he found an ardent
young Whig, and seeing pile of books upon a
table, had him put the coverless history among
them. Colonel Thompson made the opening
speech, during which he read from the pamphlet
the charge of federalism against Van Buren,.
Dir. Owen followed, and again using the large
history of Hollands, denounced Colonel Thomp-
sons charge as calumny that any man with
a vestige of responsibility ought to be ashamed
of.
Everybody looked at the Wing champion ex-
arose, and, with great suavity and sweetness,
said he himself was too young to have
known of the events he had cited.
He had merely taken what he had
found in the books. i see, ne continued,
"a pile of school books upon that table Per
haps there is history Of the United States
among them. Will that young man. singing
out his young Wing confederate, please go and
see if there is such historyP
"Thereupon, the young man went gaily to the
table, where he had no difficulty in finding the
coverless book, and handed it to the orator
Colonel Thompson leisurely turned the leaves
Ah. said he, L have here found passage which
confirms the statement l read to you before.
Here it is in the history of our country Then
he read it as only Colonel Thompson could read.
How the Wings shouted! 1t was a wonder the
roof didn't come off.

Thompson, and. in strong whisper said: Dick,
you rascal, you put that book there yourself
but Richard was non-committal"

DIR. THAD. Nj. STEVENS.
His COmmendable Traits of Character and
His Eccentricities.

The Indiana Medical Journal concludes a
lengthy article on the character of DR.. Thad. NJ.
Stevens, who died on the 9Th inst, as follows:
'Dr. Stevens had many strong and commenda-
BILE traits of character. AS a man, ne was hon
est and upright in his dealings; as citizen he
was peaceful and law abiding; as a physician,
although never in active practice, he kept fully
abreast of the times, and was faithful attend
ant of the Marion County and State medical
societies; as philanthropist, he gave of his
means, and spent much of his time in furtherng
measures of relief for the sick poor, and as
friend he was steadfast, faithful and oblgng
Dr. Stevens had some peculiar and eccentric
traits of character. which frequently caused his
motives to be misunderstood by both friends and
enemies, and it was these eccentricites, perhaps
which caused so many of his purposes, which
were always laudable ones, to fail; but he had a
strong brain and kind heart. His life, per-
haps, not brilliant success, out it was by
no means failure. His industry energy and
studious habits, his love of the profession, and
his untlrlng persistency to accomplish his pur-
poses i'll life were the strong points in his char
acter-virtues worthy the imitation of ALL"
