One of the greatest electioneerers of the age is a Mr. Daniel R. Russell, a can didate for auditor in Mississippi. His mode of eleationeering is to deal with the "sov ereigns" with the most blunt frankness, discarding every particle of blarneying humbug. The following sketch of a late speech delivered by him must have puzzled his ,opponent to reply to : Ladies and Gentlemen : I rise—but there's no use of telling you that; you know lamup as well I do. lam a mod est man—very—but I have never lost at picayune by it in my life. Being a scarce commodity among candidates, I thought I would mention it, for fear if I didn'ut you would never hear it; Candidates are generally considered as nuisances; Imit they are not; they are the politest men in the world, shake you by the hand; ask you how's your family, what's the prospect of your crops; Sie., and I am the politest man there is in the State.— Davy Crocket says the politest man he ever saw when he asked a man to drink turned his back so that ho might drink as much as he pleased. I beat that all hol low ; I give a man a chance to drink twice if he wishes for I not only turn around, but shut myeycs. lam not only the po- Meet nari; Ifel the beat electioneerer.— You ought to see me shaking with the va riations--the pumphaudle and pendulum, the Cross-cut and the wiggle-waggle. I understand the serene perfectly, and if any of the county candidates wish inatrUC dons they must call on me. Fellow citizens, I was born—if I hadn't been I wouldn't have been a candidate ; but I am goidg to tell you where ; 'twas not in Mississippi, but 'twas on the right side of the negro hne ; yet that's no com pliment, as the negroes are mostly born on the same side . I started in the world aspor as a church "Mime, Yet I came IteeeitlY by my poverty; for I inherited it; end if I did start poor, no man, can say but .that I have held.my own remarkably well. Candidates generally tell you, if you think they aro qualified, &c. Now; I don't ask your thoughts ; I ask your votes. Why, there's nothing to think of, except to watch and see that Swan's name is not on your ticket. If so think to scratch it off and put mine on. I am' certain that •I am competent, for who ought to know better than I do? Nobody. I will al low that Swan is the best Auditor in the State—that is, till I am elected, then per haps it's not proper for me to say any thing more. Yet, as an honest man, I am bound to say that I believe it's a grievous sin to hide any thing from my fellow citizens; therefore, I say that it's my private opin ion, publicly expressed, that I'll make the best Auditor ever in the United States. 'Tis not for honor I wish to be Auditor, for in my awn county I was offered an office that was all honor—Coroner—which I respectfully declined. The Auditor's office is worth some $5,000 a year, and I am in for it like a thousand of brick.— To show my goodness of heart, I'll make this offer to my competitor. 1 am sure of being elected, and he will lose some thing by the canvass ; therefore I am will ing to divide equally with him, and make these two offers : I'll take the salary, and he may have the honor; or ho may have the honor, and I'll take the salary. In the way of honors I have received enough to satisfy me for life. I went out to Mexico, eat pork and beaus, slept in the rain and mud, and swallowed every thin,g except live Mexicans. If ordered to "go, " I went ; " charge," I charged; "break for the chaparrel; you had bet ter believe I beat a quarter nag iu doing my duty. • My competitor, Swan, is a bird of gold den plumage, who has been swimming for the last four years in the Auditor's pond, at $5,000 a year. lam for rotation. I want to rotate him out, and to rotate my self in. There's plenty of room for him to swim outstde of that pond ; therefore pop in your votes for me; I'll pop him otit; and . op myself in. I mil for a division of.labor. Swan says he•has to.worlt all the time, with his nose dvwti to the public grindstone. Four years must have ground it to a pint. Poor fel low ; the public ought not to insist. on having the handle of his mug ground clean ' , off. I have a large full grown, and well blown nose, red as a beet, and tough as tlole leather. I . rush to the post of duty. I offer it up as a sacrifice. I clap it on the grindstone. Fellow citizens;,,, grind away—grind till I holler enough; and that will be some time first, for I'd hang like grim death to a dead African. Time's most out. Well, I like to for got to tell yon my name. It's Daniel— for short Dan. Not a handsome name, for my parents were poor people who lived where the quality appropriated all the nice names ; therefore they had to take what was left and divide around among us ; but it's as handsome as I am—lt. Russell. Remember every one of you, that it's not Swan. I am sure to be elected, so one and all, great and small, short and tall, when you come down to Jackson, after the election, stop at the Auditor's office ; the latch string always hangs out ; enter without knocking ; take offyour things and make yourself at home. [Dan crawfished out of the stand bob bing his head like a tip-up, amid the cheers for "Dan." "A D-in Russell," and Young "Davy Crocket."] Rufus Choate aok Humphries the piquant Boston correspondent of the albany Dutchman, gives the following off-hand description of Rufus Choate : Rufus Choate--4amous for throwing somersets flip flaps; making mouths and ugly 'mugs' at Judges and Juries--ispiving away in that stime.old Rev. Mr: ralrchild case; Ybu probably never saw Riifue; but you've heard of him? Well be's great on saving hard cases from getting their dues. Ho saved Tirrel, the murderer of Ellen Bickford, froni hemp stretching,; and that fact has made him in great demand, where things are doubtful, ever since. Ho has saved many a scoundrel from well merited punishment, and, perhaps, has obtained, for some, justice. Rufus Choate is a pic ture to look at, and chowder to spout.— He is about seven feet six, or six feet sev en, in his socks; supple as an eel, and wiry as a cork screw. his face is a compound of wrinkles, 'yeller janders,' and jurispru dence. He has small, keen piercing black eyes, and a head shaped like a mammoth goose-egg, big end up; his hair black and curly, much resembling a bag of wool in admirable disorcle4' or a brush heap in a gale of wind. His body has no particular shape; and his wit and legal 'dodges' have set many a judge in a snicker, and so con= founded jurors, as to make it almost im possible for them to speak English, or tell the truth; for. the rest of their natural lives. Rufus is great on twisting and coil ing himself up, squirming around, find prancing; jumping and kicking up the deist, when steam's up. His oratory is first rate, and his arguments ingenious and forcible. He generally makes a ten strike—judge and jury down, at the end of every sentence. He is great on flowery expressions, and high falootin 'flub-dubs. Strangers most ly think he'd crazy, and the refit scarcely understand what it's all about. Ho invoi ces his tine and elocution, 4,000 per cent, over ordinary charges for having one's self but through a course of law. Rufus Cho , ate is about fifty years of age; perhaps over. He is considered the ablest lawyer in New England, or perhaps—the United States. His hand writing can't be desci phered without the aid of a pair of com passes and a quadrant. His autograph somewhat resembles the map of Ohio, and looks like a piece of crayon sketching, in the dark, with a three pronged fork.— Ho has been in the Senate, and may be, if he had time to fish for it, President of the United States. If the Rev. Mr. Fairchild don't lick his adversaries (libel case) with Rufus Choate to 'talk to the, jury his case isn'tworth the powder to blow it up.' A. WAR AsncnoTz.--During the re melted a Dorr war," in Rhode Island, a bill was brought in to "organize the army." This aroused from sleep an old man in one corner who represented a town in the west NUMBER 41. of the State. Mr. speaker," said he, "I tell you I am decidedly opposed to 'organ izing' the-army as you call it. Our fore fathers fit through the Revolution with fiothin' but a drum and fife, and come off fust best too! Igo agin organs. They'll be dreadful unhandy things in battle, now I tell you !" This was irresistible, and ' , Aunt Rhody'S army," we are informed, remains 'unorganized' to this day. Facts for the Curious.-. Female beauty. The ladies of Arabia stain their finger. and toes . red, their eye-brows black, and their lips blue. In Persia, they paint a black streak around the eyes, and orna ment their faces with .various figures.— The Japanese women gild their teeth, and those of the Indies paint them Ted. The row of teeth must be dyed black to be beautiful in Guzurat. The Hottentot wo men paint the entire body in compartments of red and black. In Greenland, the wo man color their faces with blue and yellow and they frequently tattoo their bodies by saturating threads in soot, inserting them`' beneath the skin, and then drawing them through:—Hindoo females when they wish to appear particularly lovely, linear them selves with a mixture of saffron, turmeric and grease. In nearly all the islands of the Pacific and Indian occeans, the wo men, as well as the men, tatoo a great. variety of figures on the face, the lips, ton gue, and the whole body. In New Sol land they cut themselves with shells, and by keeping open the wounds a long time, form deep scars in the flesh, which they deem highly ornamental. And another singular addition is made to their beauty by taking off, in infancy, the little finger of the left hand, at the second joint. In ancient Persia, an aquiline nose was often thought worthy of the crown; but the Sumatrian mother carefully flattened the nose of her daughter. Among some of the savage tribes of Oregon, and also in Suma tra and Arracan, continued presure is ap plied to the skull in order to flatten it, and. thus give it a new beanty. The modern Persians have a strong aversion to rod hair; the Turks, on the contrary, are warm ad mirers of it. In China, small round eyes are liked; and the girls are continually plucking their eye-brows that they may be thin and long. But the great beauty of a Chinese lady is in her feet, which in child hood, are so compressed by bandages as effectually to prevent any further increase in size. The four small toes are turned iiiider the foot, to the solo of which they firmly adhere; and the poor girl not only endures much pain, but becomes a cripple for life. Another mark of beauty consists in finger nails so long that castings of bam boo are necessary to preserve them from injury. An African beauty must have small eyes, and thick lips, a large, flat nose, and a skin beautifully black. In New Guinea, the nose is perforated; and a . large piece of wood or hone inserted. On the north-west coast of America, an incision more than two inehei, length. is made in the lower' lip; and then filled with a wood en plug.—ln Guiana, the lips are pierced with thorns, the heads being inside the mouth and the point resting on the chin. The Tunisian woman, of moderate preten sions &duty, needs a slave under each arm to support her when she walks; and a perfect belle carries flesh enough to load down a camel. Natural Religion. We hare been not .a little amused with the following definition of the religion of noture, furnished by the Yankee Blade.— lt comes remarkably near the truth. 1. Look out for number one. 2. Use others all you can, and iet them use you as little as possible. 3. Get money ; honestly if you can—but get money. 4. Hold on to what you have got, and get as much more as you can. 5. Every one for himself, and the d—l take the hindmost. Here we have the whole thing in a nut shell. there is no need of inking whole reams of paper with explanations of the subject, for here you have the exact doc trine in which the world believes, and which are practised upon by a vast majority of people in every nation on the globe. 11 — r We wonder if there is anything that a Frenchman is "afraid to eat." We picked up a Paris paper the other day, and found the following delicacies adver tised by one of their restaurants, viz ; 4 , llpopotamus soup, stewed camel leopard, elephant steaks, and alligator tails." The elephant steaks were served with ourang outang sauce--while the al ligator tails were accompanied with a side dish of roast baboon. Vot a peebles !" fIY There is a sportsman in Michigan so lazy that he put out one of his eyes the other day, to save the trouble of wink• ing when he takes aim.
