SELECT MISCELLANY. Iii1tf1ll:1:1:31 , 141:UTIMIli;a Peculiar Ones. - THE SQTAUE MAN. The square man meazzures the same eadh way, and haint got no wzonny edges nor shaky' lumber in him. He is free from knot% and sap, and won't warp. lie iz Wear stuff, and I don't stare what yu work .him up in, he won't swell and he won't shrink. He is amungst men what good kit d ried boards are amung en rpenters,he won't season-lirae.k. It don't make enny difference which ov him yu.cotne up to, he iz the same biggness each way, and the only way tew git him, cony how, i z tew face him. tie knows he iz square, and never spends enny time trieing tew prove it .• The square man iz one ov the best shape men the world haz ever pro duced; he iz one ov them kind of chunks that you kan't alter tew fit him. THE OBLONG MAN The oblong man alwuz mearLures inure one way.than he duz the tuth er, and yu have got tew meazzure him every time yu want tew use him. The shortest way ov him to-day may be the longest way to-morrow. lie ain't alwuz a bad man by enny means, he iz often only unfortunate, and he haz been heard frequently tew say, that he iz sorry that he was bilt so. Sum ov the,smarlest men in krea shun are oblOng, and will fit most t•nny kind ov a spot with a very lit tle altering. THE PERPINDIKLAR MAN The perpinalklar _man iz half brother tew the square man, and iz az uprite az a lamp-post. He Is a dredful good kind ov a man tew have lying around loose, and he paint got but one fault, or rather in is fortin, and that iz, he isso stiff he kant dodge goad. I don't like tew see a man dodge everything, but there are things in this world that are cheaper to dodge than to buk against. I like the up and down, perpindik lar man, you can alwuz git at the solid kontentsov him, by just multi plying him by himself. THE LIMBER !I'l A\ The limber man iz a kind ov injun rubber specimint ov humanity, who Lint tell himself how far he kan stretch without breaking. lis iz redrly tew stretch, or he stretched, and though he flies bak samtimes tew to old spot, he quite az often snaps off in such a bad place that he leant be mended agin. Limber men aint alwus malishus, but they are az Vtird to manage az a greased pig, take a holt of them where you will, yu will tied them pi zon slippery. Limber men are rather wuss than wl - cked ones, for they karat even tell themselves what they are going to do next. When a limber man duz git to go ing wrong, he iz like a blind mule, when be gits tew kiekingyu anit safe nowhere. . Limber men don't alwuz lak ka pacay, it would perhaps be better if they did, for a 4111 phool iz one of the safest people we hay. TUE JOLLY MAN lolly men are almait alwus good I=l it iz dredful eazy tew mistake spas odik hilarity for good natur. I have seen men who were called oily good fellows who are az, treacer ous in their joy az a Itat iz. Vu will alwus notiss one thing, when the kat purrs the most, she haz just thought ov sum new kind ov deviltry. I know ov no vice in genuine jol lvty. When a man iz jolly . all over, he iz too happy and kareless tew be vi c•ious I hay seen people who could laff long and loud, but thare was no more good nature in it than thare iz in rrief in a hyena when they imitate the wail ov an infant. 'Tis true we leant alwuz tell about these things, but if we watch a man all summer, and hang around him ail winter, when spring comes agin we ought tew be able tew guess whether the laff that is in him iz the aroma ov his good Oatur, or is only the aroma ov the hikkups. THE PEWTER MAN The pewter man takes his name from the old fashomed pewter spoon, made out ov cheap material, impos sible tew keep bright long, eazy tew take hopreshuns from almost eney thing, and no more ring tew it than thare iz tew a bogus half dollar. Pewter men are mighty kommon here on earth, not only !common be kate:e t twy are plenty, but kommon heltau. , e they don't amount to much. 'They haint 'lack - 1y phools, if they nz, we cttuld describe them better. - l'hey are like, bass wno k punkin seeds, and white oak whetstuns. in a well stocked kuntry store, kind ov necessary, tew keep up the assort ment.

He iz just about az mutch conse quentz where he livs as a last year's Farmers' Allininax. He has set in his ways as an old goose trieing tew hatch out a glass egg. A Dakota 'sheriff attached a show the other day. and while tacking up a "sale notice" on the elephant's hind quarters, which he mistook for a small barn, the elephant swung round, his tail did strike a blow. There were eight hacks at the funer al. A nveurazas CONIFINSION John M. Osborne was hung at Knoxville, 111. on last Friday. Pre viOus to his execution he made the following statement: Some time in July last a stranger came to me who represented self as as nu agent for a patent barrow. He inquired of me about J. H. Matthews, and said he knew where they lived. He requested me to I walk out with him,. which I did. He knew I had been at work for Matthews. We walked out by the coal house and sat down in the shade. He told me of the litiga tion between Mrs. Matthews' father and others. We talked awhile, when he asked me if I would take five linadred or a thourand dollars and put a certain person oat of the way. I told him "No," and asked whO it was and what he want ed. He said he would not tell me untill I agreed to do it. I thought I would draw him °utast' then have him arrested, which I wish note I had. But he refused to give any names until I told him 1 would. He said: "Listen to reason." Oh! that I had, and I would not have been here now. He asked Ifl.would do it if the sum named were doub led. I said "No." He then offered me $5.000, and said he had arranged with another for a much less sum, but he had failed him. He said he believed I had the nerve to do it. 1 asked him who it was he arranged with, but he refused to tell me until' I had agreed to do it. I then agreed to kill the person, but did not know who it was. He then told me it was Mrs. Matthews. I started back with horror, and would not do it. He told me that she had heard a conver sation and was to be a witness for her father, and that she must be put out of the way. I asked him who he had engaged, and lie said it was Joe Perry. I asked him if he had told Joe he was coming to un?. He said no. He then agreed to meet any where I desired and pay the money when the deed was done. I saw him anin a few days before the murder. Perry saw me, and told me he knew all. I then thought I could not back out, or Perry would do it, and then charge it to me, and he would get the money. On Monday I was at the depot at about eleven o'clock A. M. I then went to my hohse and took a lunch, and left a little before twelve o'clock at. I went south to MIS. WoOds' pasture lot, and then creased over into the corn field. I did not then intend togo to Mr. Matthews.' I went into a corn field to look for melons. I then went to the lime and sat on' the gate, and looked over towards Mr. Matthews' house, and then thought I would walk over that way. I did not know certainly that the Matthews were gone, as they thought on Saturday that they might not finish their own grain. I did not think of hiding my tracks or of doing the deed until I struck the Farmington road. I then looked up and down, and saw no one. I tnen crossed into Matthews' field and went on to the house. As 1 went to the pump I saw Mrs. Matthews at the door. I was weak and fatigued. She asked me to come In, as she was all alone. She gave me a drink and asked me to sit down. My heart failed me. It was too warm in the house, as she was washing and had a big fire. I then went and sat in the back door. I was sitting there when 'lllr. Kunable went by. He could not ha've seen me. I went in then. She closed the „front door and put down the blintik'4 , herself. She said she would getfk* - isome dinner. It then flashed thitiiugh my mind that she would go down to the cellar, and it would be my best chance. H. Matthews swore truly when he said there was but one knife, fork and plate on the table. She went into the cellar with a plate and knife for butter. For an excuse 1 asked her If all the water was out of the cel lar. She said "yes, but it was mud dy." I was at the cellar door and passed down, remarking "I wanted to see." I went down and talked to her a little, and as she stooped down I picked up a brick and struck her on the hack of the head. She started to run, and I caught her by her dress and part of her drawers. That is the way her drawers were torn. I pulled her back and Struck her again, when she fel!. I then picked up a small hoard and struck her on the head. She groaned and I thought it was done. I then went up stairs, and to make a lithe impression rummaged the drawers and found the money, and thought I must take it to prevent the true Motive from being discovered. I p at part in each of my pants pocket, and then thought I would go clown and see if she was dead. I saw her eyes lookite at me. I went up to her, told bending over her, said, 'Adelia.' She raised her eyes and look( d at tne. I said, "Iki you know." She made no reply. I asked her again and she said "I do," I asked her who I was, and she said Mr. Osborne, and reach ed her hand to me, and said "why di.i you do this?" I dropped her hand and turned away, and looked at her again in a moment, and I felt I would give worlds to have her well again. I then took my knife and rut her throat. She tu ver ipoveo or shuddered and then I went up stairs and left. I then put the money in the old cupboard in the house. I had on a coat, and got a drop of blood on the sleeve. I wash ed it off while on the hunt the next day alone. I did not ravish her per• son, as God is my witness. Miss. H. testified truly. She saw from the north door of the hotel. I saw her. The knife I used I threw Into the hedge running between the end of the hedg. The knife found was not my knife, I never saw it. I have now finished. My Um; is nearly up. I have fearfully wrong ed the Matthews flintily. I ask them to forgive me, as I feel God has. I have stated the truth, 11S tied is my witness. I might refer to some of the evidence, but have not time. In a few moments I shall be in eternity, and I call God to wit ness the truth of this statement. Gem W. Kretzinger has written the above on this fourteenth day of March, A. D. 1873, at my. request. I wanted him to write It as I stated last night to the officers of the Court and to my attorney at►d others. I bid a last and eternal farewell, and may God receive my spirit. (Signed] JNO. Dpi.

This energetic lunatic has since been employed as a clerk In the Patent office, having become suddenly awe enough for that avocation. Still Miss Mary is liable to little lapses into lunacy. About a week ago, she got together the necessary apparatus of pistol, powder, and ball, and start ed to kill another man; hut she was in time prevented from committing another hoinicide , and is now in the Government Insane Asylum, to the great relief, we shouldsuppase, of all the single marriageable men in Washington. We shall not at this distance of time, and_with our imte curate knowledge of the facts, pre tend to quarrel with the verdict which set this murderer at large lo "kill more men;" but here we have a striking example of "the absurdity of acquitting murderers on the grournd of insanity and of then Jet ting them loose to do the same thing over a„&airi . whenever moved thereto by passion or by delusion.

March 14.—The community here was thrown into a state of the profoundest excitement this morning by the suicide of Thom as F.

Herein Her the germ of this opposition. Speaker. Elliott is the acknowledged leader of the Phil adelphia delegation. and not un frequently strains many points to giVe his friends advantages - en the floor. This conduct is solely attri butable to zeal for his party. or con siderations of personal po licy, and that be may have a strong party to back him in any emergency. Mr. Mahon, of Franklin, Is the leader of the opposition element and does not hesitate, upon all oceas lops that, pre sent the opportunity. to.throw down the gage of battle. Besides his op potation upon general principles to the 'Philadelphia gang ' as a portion of your delegation le termed, Mr. Mahon has a personal pique with the speaker, imd has had several ani mated tilts with that official. Mr. Mahon is poeseseed with fair ability, is a good debater. apparently honest in his convictions, and bold in giv ing them expression. Ofcoursesuch a spirit would naturally drift into contact with the ruling power of the house. and theattempt to crowd him down has only served to embolden him. • "They frequently overwhelm him by their numbers, but in the lan- Cs7of the ring, he comes up ng on the next round.' ',Mr. Elliott seems to reciprocate this feeling of Mahon's, and has shown it upon several occasions, the most no- ticeable one being when he appointed a new member to be chairman of the congressional opportiontnent com mittee, notwithstanding , the fact that Mahon moved for its appoint. meat. Mahon has a good following. and the indications now are that the opening of the next legislature will reveal such an organised opposition to your Philadelphia delegation as will place the drawings of the 'slate' against them." —The foreign-born population of the United States, which - 125,567,229, is thus distributed according to nationality : lelah. .....
