When I went (o bed last night I ap prehended trouble. Along ono sldo the loft ono occasionally capered o grumbling sensation. It kopt mo awako an hour or bo. Irvine to dotermlno whether that was all thoro was of it, or whether thero wa3 something to eomo after that which would need my wako- ml presence to contond against. Thus pontlpiiug I fell asleep and forgot all about tho trouble. 1 don't know how I slept, but I fell to dotorminlng that I had mado a match, for $5S a side, to fight a cross-cut saw lu a steam mill, and was well to work on tho Job when tho saw got my head betweon its teeth. I thought it was a fuvorablo tirao to wako up, and I did so. It immediately transpired that I might bettor have stayed whero I was and taken tho chances with tho saw. I found niysolf sitting straight up in bed, with ono handspasmodlcally grasp ing my jaw, and tho other swaying to and fro without any apparent cause. It was an awful pain. It bored llko lightning through tho basement of my jaw, darted across tho roof of my mouth and then ran lenglhwiso of my teeth. If every pang had been a drunken plow chased by a demon across a stump lot, I (Iilnk tlio observer would understand my condition. I could no moro cot hold of tho fearful agony that was cavorting around in mo than I could pick up a plcco of wot soap when in a great hurry. Suddenly it slopped. It went, giv ing mo a parting kick that fairly mado mo howl. I thought I was rid of tho toothacho, but a grumbling set in tho noxt morn ing. It wnsjustllkothofeolingof tho night boforo,and a still small volcosaid to rao, 'Look out, Perkins.' I did. I went right away to tho den tist who has pulled tho teeth of our family and know our peculiarities. Tliero was an unusual smell about his ofllco ; it was very suggestivo of troublo, and as I snuffed It in I experienced a sinking feeling In tho pit of my stom ach. I looked at him and slcklysmllcd. Ho was never, oven on a holiday, tho handsomest of men, but now his ap- pcarauco was very, very depressing. Ho looked like a corpso with a lighted candlo Insido of it. I told him what tho matter was with mo ; how I had been up all night with a four story pain ; how my wifo had been thrown out of bod by tho vlolcnco of my suffering ; how Ho asked mo if I wouldn't sit down. I sat down on what was onco a hogs head, but now cut down and nowly carpeted. Ho held back iny head, opened my mouth, and wont to llsh Ing around insido with a pieco of watch spring. And whllo ho angled ho conversed. Said ho: 'You havo caught a terrible hard cold.' 'I have.' 'It seems the troublo Is with ono of tho bicuspids.'

Proctor's "Bench nnd Bar" contains tho following ancdoto of William L. Marcy : Thoro was n debating society connected with tho Adams academy, In LoIcc8lcr,Mns3achusotts,to which young Marcy belonged. Though very younir, ho was ono of tho chlof disputants, but tho partisan sentiments of tho principal (Mr. Adams) provallod in thosoclcty. In tho discussions, Jefferson and his princi ples wcro often assailed with groat blttor- ncss. Tho young student admired tho rising statesman, and ho repelled their attacks slnglo-handcd and alone. Tho ability which ho displayed In his do fenco began to oxort nn Infltionco tn thoi Institution. At length sovcral of tho studonta united with him, and Marcy found himself tho contro of a small but increasing partji. Dr. Adams saw this and deemed It his duty to interfere. Accordingly, ho summoned tho young man Dororo him for tho purposo of ex postulating wllh him upon tho courso ho was pursuing, in ndvanclng his dan gerous political sentiments. To his sur prise, ho found tho young Democrat as firm and unflinching lu his prcsonco as ho was in tho debate. It was In vain that tho good doctor reasoned, threat ened and cajoled. Ho was mot with ar guments which puzzled him to answer, and which wcro firmly but modestly maintained. At longth Mr. Adams saw that matters mu3t bo brought to a de cided point. "Am I to understand, thon," said ho, "that you aro determined to openly ad vocato tho causo and principles of that infidel, Joffersou, horo in this Institu tion?'' "If I hoar him or his principles open ly attacked I shall certainly dofond him. If, howovcr, you will forbid all allusion to politics hero, I will most cheerfully subscrlbo to tho rules," said Marcy. "It Is my duty, sir, to oxpo30 error nnd wir'lrcduessin all ways, and In every maunor, and to teach my pupils to do tho samo, and, therefore, cannot estab lish n rulo," said tho doctor. "Then, sir, if you allow ono class of students to discuss politics, you should glvo others tho samo privilege," said tho young man. "No, sir; not when ono sido proposes to advocato infidelity and all mannor ol evil," said tho doctor. "Who is to bo tho Judgo as to what political principles aro erroneous?" askod Marcy. lam, sir; and to bo plain, you must abaudon all public utteranco of your son- timonts hero.'1 "Andifldonotoboy this ordor, what is to bo tho conscqucnco ?" "You will bo oxpolled from tho insti tution, sir," said tho doctor, with somo warmth. "This Is bigotry and injustice, Dr. Adams, and I Bhall Icavo your Institu tion. My fullinr will sustain mo In re fusing to romaln whero freo discussion is not tolerated whero narrow, bigoted sentiments can bo advanced in tho hear ing of tlioso who differ from them, and whero tho prlvilego of replying Is for bidden ; and as for Mr. Jefferson, his momory will bo venerated long after his traducors aro forgotten," said tho studonr, tho doop glow on his cheek and tho nro In his oyes evincing tho dopth of tho fcolings which promptod this answer. Tho noxt day ho returned homo and faithfully rolated to I1I3 father all that occurred botweon himself and Dr. Adams. "You did right, just right, my boy," said the father. "Novor furl your ban ner to tho enemies of Thomas Jefferson, and novor turn your back on tho Demo cratic ship, which under his command Is bound 011 a long and prosperous voy- ugo." Marcy soon after entered another academy, whero ho completed his pre paratory courso, and then entered Brown University at Providence, Rhodo Island, whoro in July, 1S03, ho graduated. Tho Winking llye. Wo havo no hcsltantcy In stating that, among tho able-bodied male adults of this city, tho very common beverago known a3 "soda water," which Is dealt out so unsparingly at every corner during tho heated term, Is considered, to U30 their own language, a "thin drink." But whllo tho Ingenious mix ture of wind aud water Is termed "thin," strong liquors, such as wills koys, aro altogether too "thick" for a steady warm weather drink; and so tlio Imbiber who must moisten his Hues wllh somo liquid refreshment seeks a pleasant combination of tho two classe3 of drink, which forms a happy com bination that exhilarates yet Is not In toxicating. It Is customary among theso bibulous go-betweens to enter a drug storo, call for soda water, namo their syrup, at tho samo tlmo giving a wink to tho dispenser of "fluids," who takes tho goblet, in which ho places tho syrup, then stoops down beneath tho counter or retires to n back room, whero by &onio mystorlous chemical chango, tho contents nro colored darkly, and tho soda is then let in upon tho mixture. which Is handed to tho customer wllh a wink from tho clerk. So much for tho process ; now for tho sequel. A vcnerablo gentleman from tho country, who Is a respected church dea con, a justlco of tho poaco, n member of tho "Band of Hopo," nnd a Good Tomplar In his natlvo village, camo to Iho city to trado a llttlo In dry goods, and ptirchaso audi agricultural JmplO' incuts as ho needed to plant and cult! vato his spring crops. Tho deacon Is strictly lempcrato, and novor looks upon tho wlno when It Is red any moro thau ho does when It Is ony other color. Un fortunntoly, our old frlond had suffered from opthalmla In his early days, which left him with an optical peculiarity, which caused his left upper eyolld to drop ovory fow seconds, and which to tlioso not familiar with his infirmity gavo him tho appearanco of winking intentionally. Tho Deacon Is passionately fond of soda water and Biieh light beverages. Ho loves to feel tho gaseous compound coursing down his throat, nnd creating Internal commotions and typhoons, 1872. 0 T ,. that, howover endurable byoldor per sons, throw babies into ngony and ro' qulro prompt doses of peppermint; so after ho had bought a fow shovels, ploughs, hoes, ralcc.", and thrashing uiiv chines, nlso a Dolly Vnrdcn for hlswlfo, ho thought ho would fill up with soda water and drlvo on toward homo. Ho entered n drug storo, Inquired tho prlco of tho desired refreshment, then do posited his stamps, and awaited its mixture. "What syrup do you want?" said tho urbano clerk, as ho mopped off tho mar bio counter wllh tho samo towel ho used a moment beforo to remove tho honest sweat from his noblo brow. "O, clvo mo Bnssaparllla ; that Is about as healthy as any thing, 1 guess." (Hero tho Deacon's oyclld went back on him and dropped quickly.) "All right," replied tho fountain tender, a3 he disappeared bolow tho counter and camo up a moment later with tho drinking glrss containing about threo fingers of "sassaparllly," to which ho added tho other Ingredients, nnd handed it to tho deacon. Tho lat ter drained tho contents to tho very dregs, and then brushed tho froth from his mouth, smacked his lips, and said: "That syrup is it lectio stronger than they generally mako it, but my blood Is out of order, nnd I guess I'll tako another glass j" at tho same tlmo his eyelid fluttered meaningly as boforo. Tho doso was repeated, and tho soda water bibber left tho storo. About half an hour later ho entered another estab lishment whero a sign announced "So da and Mineral Water on Draught." It was noticed tho deacon walked as if lio had tho spring halt as ho entered tho door, and his spectacles wcro upsido down on Ids nose. Ho called for "Con gross Water" at this placo, saying ho "did not feel qulto right, and was afraid ho had used too much syrup In his soda water at tho other store, or elso ho was bilious." Ills optical weakness exhib ited ilsolf as ho spoke, and, returning tho wink, tho clerk retired to a dark closet, then returning, filled up a glass with plain "Congress," and gavo It to our now "tightually slight" friend, who swallowed it without a murmur. How many "sodas" tho deacon stow ed away boforo ho loft tho city wo aro unablo to say, but ho was found lato in tho day asleep In his wagon, with a plough-point for a pillow, and sovoral yards of Dolly Vardon calico gracefully draped about his person as a covering. Ho revived sufficiently to inform a stranger that ho had been "drugged," and a subsequent visit to tho localities whoro ho had taken soda-water devel oped the fact that hisunforlunato habit of winking n defect over which ho had no control was tho causo of all his trouble. Tlio soda-water dispensers supposed him to bo "ono of tho boys," and ovory tlmo his oyclld dropped took tho hint. Tho deacon escaped the "Jim- jams," but says hereafter ho will wear a blinder over that eyo when ho pur chases summer drinks, or else writohls ordor 011 a slate. Cleveland Leader. John Van Huron and Chief Justlco Tiiiioy. Nearly n quart :r of a century ago, tho Legislaturo or Now York enacted a law Imposing a capitation tax upon immigrants arriving from Europo and landing at Quarantine. A question was raised In respect to tho constitutional Ity of this law, nnd tho ciso was ulti mately taken to tho Supremo Court of tho United Slates. Mr. Seward mado the argument on 0110 sldo, and John Van Buren on tho other. Tho trial attracted considerable interest, not so much from tho iraportanco of tho ques tion Involved as from tho reputation and political position of the opposing counsel. Mr. Seward was a Senator in Congress, and tho great Whig loader of the States ; whilo Van Buren wa3 tho most brilliant orator and most popular man on tho Democratic sido. Thoy wcro rivals at tho bar, havlug thon re cently been engaged in tho trial of tho negro murderer, Freeman, at. Auburn, during which thero had boon much sharp altercation between them. Tho Whigs In Congress warmly sympa thized with Soward, whllo tho Demo crats woro equally active and zealcu3 in encouraging VanBureti. Thoargumonts woro elaborato and able, tho resulting Impression being that tho Senator was moro of a statesman than a lawyer, but that Van Buren was ono of tho most entertaining, Improssivo, nnd effectlvo advocates that had over been heard In tho Court. Judge Taney presided ono of tho purest, most learned nnd ablo Judges that over sat on tho bench. Ho was tho impersonation of ono's Ideas of tho go nius of jurisprudence. Ho was shy, rc served in mannor, ascetic in his habits, a gloomy, forbidding-looking man, ro sembllng a monk of tho niiddlo nges; but under this colds and repulsive oxter lor thero beat a warm sympathetic heart. Ho was a literal man, with no Idea of a joko ; was novor satirical or ironical, ami detested a pun or a quip U3 much as Dr. Johnson. Tho day tho argument was closed, Van Buren contrived to fall In compa ny with tho Chief Justlco in coming down tho nvenuo from tho Capitol. John had a degreo of coolness and self- possession under nil circumstances thnt nothing over disturbed. Willi nn airy, jaunty mannor, that would havo been offcnslvo lu anybody elso, but which ho mado winning and attractive, ho ad drossed tho aged jurist ; "I was much Haltered, Mr. Chief Jus tico, at tho 1: radons nttcntion with which you listened to my poor effort In bohnlf of tho suffering immigrants nt Quarantine." Mr. Taney mndo n fit ting rcsponso, and Vun Buren cooloy proceeded : "Far bo It from mo to say anything rr spcctlng tho decision of tho Court." Tho Judgo started with a ges turoor deprecation, as If ho apprehend ed an indiscretion 011 tho part of tho lawyor, "I am qulto awaro of tho ap parent Indelicacy of saying anything that should look llko nn attompt to lnlluenco tho action of tho Court," Hero thoChlof Justlcogavo a dlssatlsllod shrug of his ahoulders, intended ns n robuko of whnt ho regarded as nn iin- DEM. - - VOL. XXXVI NO. 22, l rtienco. But John wn.i wholly un mo ved, nnd went on with his romarks, as though ho was saying tho most natu ral and npproprlnlo thing imaginable. "Nor would I presumo to lntlinatothat an early decision ol tho enso la desira ble." Tho Judgo oponod his oyes In amazement, but remained silent. "But tho truth Is, your Honor," continued John, "tho poor dovlls atQuarantlnoaro perishing dally, and It is of tho utmost Importance that they should loam whether thoy nro dying constitution ally." Appreciating John's wnggory nt Inst, tho Chief Justice, much roliovcd, gavo way to a hearty laugh, nnd tho conver sation camo to an end. John Van Burcnhad ln him tho mak ing of n great lawyer and aBtntosman of commanding power. Ho lacked noth ing but Industry and steadiness of pur pose. Quick of perception, with flno faculties, uncommon logical powers, and abundant imagination, ho nover failed to command tho admiring atten tion of his auditory.

Tho critic thus wrllo: "Tho groat drawback to suc cess lies In tho want of physlquo to start with, and in tho mlscrablo hablt3 of dross and diet which thoy bring to four years of hard work. It Is this, and not overatudy, which breaks thorn down. It is a curious circumstance, but It is true, that students aro hardly over supplied with sufficient warm clothing for tho winter scrsor. Nor is it posslhlo to impress ppron'- with tho nccossity of providing warm yet light nil wool garments and fabrk'3, which will resist cold weather, yet not bo loo burden some to the wearer. Girls I'tom tho far West bring drc3Sos of almost tho samo toxturc for nil tho year round, and possess neither the requidto undor nor outsldo clothing for permanent health and dally comfort. This Is not from poverty; it is simply want of knowl edge. Tho girl who Is shivering for th0 want of under garments, warm merino dresses, woolon stockings, and thick shors, will havo bracelet1), whito.kld gloves, and a gold watch, and porhaps diamond car-rings. Simplicity, con venience and comfort should character izo tho dress of collogo students, and It would bowoll If special attention woro directed to this matter, and mothers told exactly what to provldo in tho way oi dress for their daughters going to college, and thus avoid what is really a serious obstacle to continued study. A Doctor Talcon by Surprise. On Friday morning, Dr. John H. Holt, of Hillsborough, Md., was called on to visit a patient in tho country. When ho returned, knowing ho had to visit another soon, ho loft his medicine chest under tlio seat of his carringe. Lato in tho afternoon ho hitchod his horse to his carrlago and visited his patient. Finding ho had need to ad minister a romedy not in the houso ho wont to his carrlago to got his modlcino chest. To Ids astonishment, when ho touched it, it felt soft and fuzzy, nnd a humming noiso that proceeded from under tho seat of his carrlago told him too plainly that something was wrong. Further examination provod that a swarm of bees had "pitched" on tho doctor's medlcliioche3twhiloIu his carri age -house. Ho had innocently riddon half-a-mllo in tho country with tho b3 immediately undor his scat; ho could not bo persuaded to rido back in tho samo fashion but unhitched tho tho liorso from tho carriage, led tbo horso to town, aud got n boy to pull tho carrlago and bees after him. That ovoning tho doctor had a beo-guin pro pared, and "hivod" tho intrudors, thus recovering possession of his medlclno chest, to tho great joy of his numerous patients. This si ono of tho most singular freaks that wo over hoard of bee3 com mitting. Easlon Star. A citizen of Wilmington, N, C, who had a grtulgo against another man named Smith, took advantage of a law against storing nitro-glycorlno and other expiosivo compounds within Iho city limits, and informed tho authori ties that Smith had largo quantities of protoxyd of hydrogen secreted iii an outhouse In his yard. Two policemen proceeded to Smith's to investigate ; a conflict ensued, and after tho officers had bcalcn Smith sufficiently, thoy laid him on tho sofa and started for tho yard, whero thoy only found tho ico houso packed fill'. It occurred to them then to go around to tho drugstoro and ascertain tho naturo of tho concealed protoxyd of hydrogen, so that they would know It when thoy would sco It. They learned it was merely Ice. Smith has now brought six or seven suits ogalnst tho city for damages ono for each ruined arm, leg, head and nose; but all tho policemen aro studying chemis try. A Paris correspondent tells this story: A boy of thirteen, found fighting, was taken to bo shot.

"My word of Junior, 1 will como back again," whl tho boy, and tho captnln, Boeing It was n child, was only to glad to ho rid of him.
