Neat Replies.

Andrew jackson, it is related, was al
one time entertained at dinner by a
gentleman, and among those present
was one of those people who often find
their way into story books, etc., as the
type of that offensive class of Ameri-
cans who are always trailing their ma
tionality in the dust in the effort to ex-
alt their individual independence. This
particular gentleman, over the wine
and walnuts after dinner, in order to
emphasize his own independence of dis
position, of which he was loudly boast
full, remarked with rare exhibition of
self-complacence to Gen. jackson.
Il always vote against you, sir
The company was naturally rendered
speeches. by this unexpected disclosure,
and the scene actually looked squally;
but Gen. Jackson put a stopper on the
boastful Individual and avoided further
trouble by smilingly remarklng:
'And |, sir, have always fought the
battles of my country that you might
enjoy that privilege"
Another instance of happy response
is that of an old southern judge-but
whether judge by courtesy or in fact, the
writer can not State-Wno must have
had the faculty of quick and appropri-
ate reply pretty well developed, if the
story related of him is true. He had
been a fierce secessionist, and the fact
was not forgotten when, after the war,
he re-entered the political arena of his
native state. Speaking at a certain
place one evening in the interest of his
own candidacy for congress some one
in the audience, who evidently had q
good memory, inquired:
Didn't you speak here just before
the warp"
Il did," promptly responded the
judge.
"And didn't you say we could WHIP
the burned Yankees with pop-guns?"
81 did" replied the unabashed Judge
"but confound 'em, they wouldn't fight
