Last of Her Species,

J A story is told of Prince John Van
Buren few years before the civil war.
The whig and native American parties
had disbanded. AT a ball in Baltimore
about 1858 or 1859 one of the bellies Of
the evening was very outspoken in her
political dislikes. Il am not demo-
crat, nor am a republican," said she.
"But what politics are you then?" was
the natural question of the bystand-
ers. Il would have you know" re-
piled the lady, that l am an old-line
whig." Instantly taking the lady by
the arm John Van Buren, faced the as
semblage and remarked: Here, ladies
and gentlemen, you may see one of the
greatest curiosities in the whole coun-
try. This young lady says she is an
old-line whig! The male of this species
is extinct. Boston Budget.

The prisoner, impassive as ever, re-
sumed his careless survey of the room,
letting his gaze rest longest on the
benches occupied by the jury.
The judge took his seat, scrutinized
the faces of the crowd, and, apparently
satisfied by what he read there, cleared
his throat and began.

clare that accordin' to the best of your

The judge frowned down an attempt
at speech on the part of the sheriff and
turned to Marguerite.
"Pris'ner," he said, you heerd the
remarks of them gentlemen opposite,
so you may take it that the proceedin's
