end of a pole. Froth the manner in which it

we deemed it anything else than so agreea

for some time, it was handed over to the
propnetors of the Logan Howe, to bo "done
up" in alcohol. Previous to putting it In
a,k.oliol it was deemed advisable fo take the
wind out of it, to do which, vithout injure

to this kind of treatment, it writhed and
snapped considerably, hut finding this una

taken out of the bottle, the water in which
it was drowned was thrown on a plot of grass

In the last voliime of ltandall's Life of
Jefferson, the following aneedote'is,gven as
related by Jefferson
" Whilst the question of Independence
was before Congress, it had its meetings
near a livery stable. The members wore
short breeches and silk stockings, and with
hanokerehief in hand they wero diligently
employed in lashing the flies from their legs.

to so great an impatience did it 'muse the
sufferers, that it hastened, if it did irit aid,
in .shmiirg - thein w
natures to the great document which gave
birth to an empire republic.
" The anecdote I had from Mr Jefferson,
at Monticello, who seemed to enjoy it very
ninth, as well as the il,ei. Ile tild it with
much glee, and seamed to retain a vim iii re•
collection, of the severity of an attack, from
which the only relief was signing the paper
and flying from the scene."
Mr. Randall introducesAis anecdote with
the apologetic remark, " Some of the old
painters ware fond of introducing a homely
or even a grotesque minor accessory into
their stateliest pictures. Ilere is something

Biographic -Approptiate Reception.
Uu the the dril of July the Republicans of
Ashtabula, Lake and Gesuga Counties gave
a public reception to Senator WADE and.
Josura R. (lIIIGINGS. They formed a pro
cession which, to use the language of the
Ashtabula Sentinel, the Republican organ,
' was headed by twelve beautiful negro
girls, each bearing a banner representing
the twelve States that are true to freedom,"
who, also, with their flags, occupied Um
stand. This was every way an app ropat e
reception. Giddings and Wade, in their
Congressional action, made the interests of
the negro paramount to thosc of the whit e
people, and it was proper that in the pro
cession welcoinmg them negroes should take
the lead of the whites' We do not consider,
in fact, that Giddings and,Wade are t n any
sense the repreientagvos of the white peo

Road to Ruin
Something like a year ago, as we are told
a fair but frail girl canle to this city from
Mimes County, and enteted a house of
prostitution. The pol,ce have made several
descents upon this house and this girl has
more than once figured up?n the the Police
Court Record. The other day her father, an
old and worthy man, came to the city for the
purpose of forgiving, and, if possible, saving
his daughter. Ile was unable to find the
den in which HUB resided, but he met her on
the Paine Square yesterday and besought
her to abandon her life of wretchedness and
crime and return home with him. This no
ble generosity of t i tle father was rewarded
with blows and blasphemy by the daughter,
and the old man, well nigh broken-hearted,
as it is fair to supp*o, returned home. We
give the incident on reliable authority.
