Ip Curtis' Woof Webster, we And the
following interesting statements: •
!Durink.the moat excltinrperiod of the
debate of 11324, on the tarifkand while
Mr. Webster wu himself speaking in
theMonse on that •subject, be wu sod
denly called upon to prepare for the ar
gnment of the cue of Gal,asa a. Optsn
in the Supreme Court, involebig
the constitutional valtditillsof the laws
of New York. which had granted to
Fulton and Livingston the exellaslve
navigation of all the waters within the
jurisdiction of that state, by vessels im
pelled by steam. The circumstances at.
tending hilt summons into court in this
cause, which was at the Ume quite
.imex.
pechd, are thus detailed:
'in the spring or 1824. Mr. Webster
Was much concerned in the discussan
then goingen in the Rom of Represent
atives at Washington, upon the
One morning he rose very early—earlier
even than was his enaken—to prepare
himself to speak upon IL From long be.
fore daylight till the hour when the Howe
met, he was busy with his brief: When
be was far advanced In 'peaking, a note
'was 'brought to him from the Supreme
Court, informing him that the great cue
of Gibbons es. Ogden would be called on
for argument the next morning. Be was
astounded at the intelligence, for he had
auppoied that •after the tariff question
should have been disposed of, he would
still have len days to prepare himself for
this formhiable conflict In which the
constitutionality of the laws of New
- York, granting a steamboat monopoly of
Sts thie.waters, would be decided. He
brought his speech on the tariff to a con
clusion as speedily as he could and hurried
home to make such preparation for the
great law argument as the shortness of the
notice __would permit. He had then
taken no food since his morning's break
fast—but instead of dining be took a
moderate dose of medicine and went to
bed, and to sleep. ft. ten r. at. he awoke,
called for a bowl ot tea, and without
other refrthhment went immediately to •
work.' To use his cpwn phrase, 'the tapes
had. not been off the papers for more than
a year.' Ho worked all night, and, as lie
has told me more than once, he thought
lie never op' any occasion had so com•
pletely the free use cf ail his faculties.
He hardly felt that he had bodily organs,
so entirely bad his fasting . and the meth •
cine done their work. At nine A. at.,
after eleven hours of continuous intellec
tual effort, his brief was completed. He
sent for the barber and was shaved; he
took a very slight break fast of tea -and
crackers; he looked averhis papal to see
that they were all in order, and tied
'them up—he * read the morning jour
nals, to ammo and change his thoughts,
and then he went into court, and made
that grand argument which, as Judge
Wayne said, above twenty years after
ward, 'retuned every creek and river
every lake and harbor in our country
from the interferenhe of monopolies .
Whatever be may bllve thought of his
powers on)he preceding night, the can't
and the bar acknowledged their whole
force that day. And yet, at the and of
Ave hours, when he ceased speaking, be
could hardly be said to have taken what
would amount to half the refreshments of
a common meal, for above two-and-thirty
hours, and, out of the lhirty-six hours
immediately preceding, he had for thirty.
one been a state of very high Intellec
tual excitement and activity."
• It was Buckminister who first aides" ,
orcd to overcome in the pupil a native
difildence, which will 'stout& any read
er, who now learns, for the first time,
that Daniel Webster could not, when a
boy, make a school deshemation. This
fact, which would scarcely be credlled
on any other testimony than his own,
was recorded by him In his autobiography
thus. •
"I believe I made tolerable progress
in most branches which I attended to
while in this school; but there was one
thing I could not do—l could not make a
defamation. I could-not speak before
tho school. The kind and excellent '
Buckminister sought, especially to per-'
suede me to perform the exercise of deo
lamation like other boys, but I could not
do it. ifil - Cy a piece did I commit to
memory, and recite and rehearse in my
own room over and over again, yet,
when the day came, when the school
collected to hear declamations, when my
name was called, and I saw all eyes turn
' • ed to my seat, I could not raise myself
from it. Sometimes the instructors
C frowned, sometimes they smiled. Mr:
Dnekminisier always pressed and entreat
ed, most winningly, that I would venture, 1
but I could never command sufficient
resolution. When the occasion was over, 1
I went home, and wept bitter tears of
mortification.'

Now TIIAT Mr. Mackey has received In
addition to the endorsement of the Mk.
ishisny County Republican Executive
Committee, the approval of the Republi•
ow Legislative Caucus, we trust that the
Imereial will mei, Its fierce invectives
egainst bast gentleman's public character.
A. regard for tbn interests of the party It
claim to represent should certainly sug
gest each s amuse. So fangs Mr. Mackey
fa concerned, the Commercial's opposition
hes been s positive benefit. The public
also have derived at least one advantage
from the Commercial's crusade against
the official career of the State Treasurer.
They have discovered that the Journal In
question Is comparatively powerless in
its Influence upon public opinion.
It is a broken down back, indoor only
-wangler is that the Republican party has
. not long since spewed it out of Its month.
- The announcement in this morning's
Commercial that Mackey will be placed
on probation, will doubtless provoke
xnany o moths. The Commerciare proba
tionary list Is bad enough, and Heaven
deliver any one from being admitted- Into

IN St. Petersburg the practice of mak-.
lug N:314 Year's calls is very rigidly fol.
lowed, but there is a way in which one
may avoid it, and at the same time hold
his position in society. He has only to
give five Pr ten roubles to some recog.
Mud public charity, and have the dons,
tion acknowledgment in the papers on
New Year's morning. Ha may then stay
at home a; his cue. and his. friends will
take no offense. Every New Year's day
the St Petersburg pspen contain twc or
three columns of the .names of persons
who have Um exempted themselves from
the demands of society. Those who
hold receptions check off their acquaint
ances of theta lists, and everybody is
satisfied. The ladles are saved the trou
ble of receiving calls, and the gentlemen
that of making them.

mouth' yesterday sent a special message
to the Legislature, begionlng-: "It
comes my duty to communicate to your
honorable body a grave charge again"
Geo. H. Wyckliff, Auditor of Peddle
A.0031111t11. His offenses against the Con
stitution and laws or the State have
seriously embarrassed the Government,
and rendered it difficult to pay the in
terest on the State bonds. He has been
guilty of numerous acts, involving ex
tortion against . individuals - and against
charitable Institutions of the State; also
involving frauds against the Commie*.
wealth, and collusion with evil disposed
persons to defraud the same. ctc. He
has extorted sums of money from the
creditors of the State, as a condition pre
cedent to the issuance to them of the on
(lndices of ludebtedness, or warrants to
which they wore entitled by law." The ,
Governor goes on to state a number of
cases in which he charges the Auditor
with malfeasance. &c. The message was
referred.
The message to the Legislature con
gratulates them upon the Improved con-
anion of affairs and the good feeling
existing between the people of both'
races. It takes a cheerful view of the
political situation, arid speaks of the
general prosperity or the State. After a'
mama of the material wealth of trie'
State, the Governor says • there is no
need, so far as her ability la concerned,
that her bonds should sell for tea
than their par value. He says that credit i
does not depend alone upon citi e s th at
veiny of the puttee or securities that are
upon the market, or upon the sufficiency
of the arrangements to pay the principal
end Interest as they
- accrue. Both must
be provided for amply, In amount and
surety. In method, a wise use of the
State credit, sustained by faithful °Eileen
is all that is necessary in the present
premises. He attributes the condition
of the bonds to desperate legisla
tion and the • maladministration of
the Auditor of Public Accounts.- Op
the subject of levees, he advises
the ceepsration of the States of
Arkamos, Misstisippl • and Louisiana,
and the general government for the as.
easement of special taxes for levee pur
poses, and favors the encouragementof
the great works of internal imprOve.

A:Terrlble Cue
JOEfi Tonnxr. of Honesdale, Pa.
Is a man of large estate, and has several
children. About midsummer,
last yrar,
his youngest son, also named John, who
was employed as a clerk for his brother at
Scranton, made his father a visit, the
special object of • which was to prefer a
request to be established in business
This proposition was not favorably enter
tained, and the young man went back to
his occupation. A little time afterwards
ke made his parents another visit. The
morning after his arrival, while the fam
ily—that is, the father,
mother, three
sisters, and John — were seated at break
fast, the mother detected a peculiar bitter
or acrid taste to the coffee, and this before
any other member of the family had par
taken thereof. The result of this discov
ery was that none of the coffee was im
bibed. A chemical analysis disclosed the
presence of a large amount of strychnine
in the sugar. Atter strict interrogation,
John confessed that he put the poison in
the bowl. The culprit was Instantly
pronounced to be insane, and he was
consigned to the Bloomingdale Lunatic
Hospital at New York. It is understood
the physicians of that inetitntion failed to
detect evidences of insanity, and aftei a
little time the young man was taken out
and seat this week on a voyage around
Cape Horn Into the Pacific ocean, in the
hope that the sea would extract from him
his harmful propensities.

OLD LADIES
- - -
The world le notorionsly unjust to its
vetorans, and above all it is unjust to its
ancient females. Everywhere, and from
all time, an old women has been taken to
express the last stage of uselessness and
exhaustion; and while s meeting ot beard.
ed dotards, goes by the name of a corm.
ell of sages, and its.deliberations ,are
respected accordingly, a congregation of
palsied matrons is nothing' but a congre
gation of old women, whose thoughts
and opinions on any subject whatsoever
have no more value than the chattering
of so many magpies. In fact the poor
old ladies have a hard time of it; and if
• we look at it in its,right light, perhaps
nothing proves more thorough the coarse
flavor of the world's esteem respecting
women than this disdain which they ex
cite when they are old. And yet what
charming old ladies one has known at,
times-women quite as charming in - their
own way at seventy as their grand-daugh
ters are at seventeen, and all the
more so because they have no design now
to be charming, because they have given
up the attempt to please for the reaction
of praise, and long since have consented
to become physically old, though they
kayo never drillid into urthersonableness
or neglect. While retaining the intel
lectual vivacity and active sympathies of
maturity, they have added the softness,
the mellowness, the tempering got only
from experience and advancing age;they
are women who hive seen and known
and read a great deal, and who have sup
fared much, but whose sorrows have
neither hardened or soared them-rather
have made them more sympathetic with
the sorrows of others, and pitiful for all
the young. They have lived through and
lived down all their own trials, and have
come out into-peace on the other side;
but 'they remember • the trials of the
fiery passage, and they feel for those
who have still to bear the pressure
of the pain they have overcome.
These are not women much met with in
society; they are of the kind which mostly
stay at home, and let the world come
to them. They have done with the hur
ry and glitter of life, and they no longer
care to carry their tray hairs abroad;
they retain their hold on the affections of
their kind, they take an interest in the
history, the science, the progress of the
day, but they rest tranquil and content
by their own fireside, and they sit to re.
wive, but do not go out to gather. The
fashionable old lady who haunts the
theatres and drawing rooms, bewigged,
befrizzled, painted, ghastly in her vain
attempts to appear young, hideous In her
frenzied clutch at the pleasures melting
from her grasp, desperate in her wild hold
on life that is passing away from her so
rapidly, knowing nothing of the quiet
dignity and happiness of her ancient sis
ter who has been wise enough to renounce
before she lost. In her own house,
where gather a small knot of
men of mind and women of character,
where the young bring their perplexities
and the mature their deeper thoughts,
the dear old lady of -ripe excellence and
loving sympathies and cultivated, intel
lect, hold a better court than is known to
any of these miserable old creatures who
prowl about the gay places of the world,
and wrestle with the young for their
crowns and garlands-those wretched
dtera of womanhood who will not
w old and who cannot become wise.
Site lathe best kind of old lady extant,
answering to tho matron of classic
times-to the Mother in Israel, before
whom the tribes made obeisance in
token of respect • the woman whose
book of life has been well studied and
closely read, and kept clean in all its
,pager - She has been no prude, how
ever, and no mere idealist. She must
have been wife, mother and widow ;
that Is, she must have known many
things of joy and grief, and have the
-sins of life unsealed. However
wise and good she may be, as a spinster
she has had only half a life; and it is the
best half which has been denied her.
How can she tell others, when they come
to her in their troubles. how time and a
healthy life will have wrought with her, if
she has never passed through the same
circumstances ? Theoretic comfort is all
very well, but one word of experience
goes beyond volumes of counsel based on
general principles and a lively imagina
tion. The very dress of old ladies is in
itself a study and a revelation of character.
There are the beautiful old women, who
make themselves like old pictures by a
profusion of soft lace and tender grays;
and the stately old ladles, who affect rich,
minim' silks and sombre velvet; and
there are the original and individual old,
ladies, who dress themselves after
their own kind, like Mrs. Basil
Montagu, - and Miss Jane Porter, and
have a cachet of their own, with which
fashion has nothing to do. And there are
the old women who wear rusty black
stuffs and ugly helmetlike caps ; and
those who affect uniformity and going
with the stream, when the fashion has be
come national; and these have been much
exercised of late with the chignons and
the new bonnets. But Providence is lib
eral, and milliners are fertile in resources.
In fact, in this as In all other sections of
humanity, there are those who are Nau
ru' and wise, and those who are foolish
and unlovely ; those who make the best
of things as they are, and those who make
the went, by treating them as something
they are not; those who extract honey,
and those who find only poison. For in
old age, as in youth, are to be found
beauty, use, grace and value, but in differ•
ent aspects and on another platform alto.
gether ; and the folly is when this differ
ence is not allowed for, or when the poe.
aibilty of these graces is denied and their
utility ignored. • _ _
A Dig Hunt,
A party of Englishmen returned to

August, after I hunting expedition of
eighteen months in the Lake Ngami re

two elephants, eleven white rhinoceros,
thirty-seven black rhinoceros, six giraffes,
twenty-eight buffaloes, four koodos, nine

back to camp his horse ran away. Altai
a long chase the animal was recaptured
and mounted. The rider's subsequent
adventure is thus described: "I reached

and tearing along like mad. With my
knife I cut the throngs that • held my
koodo relies, and thus lightened, my
horse bounded along more. C - eely. Her
majesty stopped for a second to smell the
skin, but evidently wanting something
more In the French taste (hlppology) she
again gave chase. I held my nag in es
well as I wee able, letting him cone tol

head, gained on her a little. My ride wee
unloaded; but even if it bad been loaded,
I should not have dreamt of firing, u I
should have only enraged her with a
wound . that was not fatal, and what
chance could I have of that when.fteeing
at breakneck pace over ground that was I
rough, stony and in many places con-

I had still four miles to run at least, and
you maybe sure my eyes were strained
to catch a glimmer of a flee in the rapidly ,
declining twilight. At last I saw the

my horse tell with a quivering motion,
and I over his head. I gained tay legs

NO. 7.
Mrs. Burleigh, in the New Jersey Wo•
man's Suffrage Convention, thus spoke
feelingly and truthfully :
My friends, has it ever occurred to you
what a commentary upon our civilization
are these lost women. and the attitude of
society toward them? A. little child
strays from the home Inclose - re and the
whole community is on the alert to find
the wanderer and restoreit to the mother's
arms. What rejoicings when It Is found,
what tearful sympathy, what heartiness
of congratulation ? There are no harsh
comments upon the poor, tired feet, be
they never so miry, no reprimand for the
"oiled and torn garments, no lack of
kisses for tbe tear stained face. But let
the child be grown to womanhood, let her
be led from the inclosure of morality by
the voice of affection, or driven from it
by the scourge of want—whit happiness
then t Do Christian men and women go
in quest of her ? Do they provide all pos.
Bible help - for her: retUrn, or, if she returns
of her own motion, do they receive her
with such kindness and delicacy as to se•
cure her against wandering' again ? Far
from It. At the first false step sbe is de.
nounced es lost—lost,_ echo friends and
relatives—we disown you; don't ever come
near Its to disgrace us. lost, says society
ledifferently. How bad these girls are ?
And lost—lrretrievably lost—ls the prompt
verdict of conventional morality, while
one and all unite in bolting every' door
between her and respectability. Ah, will
not an account of , these lost ones be re.
(lulled at our hands In the great hereafter.
MONBEIGNBIIII COUBM&II. Bishop of
Angouleme, France, has gone to Rome to
attend the (Ecumenical Council. The
foreign prelates are frequently invited to
take dinner with one of the Cardinals,
and, the other day, Monseigneur Cons
seau found himself In the reception room
of &Cardinal, lathe company of a num
ber of other Bishops, none of whom
wore French. Interrogated concerning
the name of his diocese, he told them in
vain that ho was Bishop of Augoulme,
Bishop of the Chanterg—nobody had
ever heard of them. At last a luminous
ides pained through Monster Coussean's
head. He said :
am Bishop of Cognac I "
"Cognac I" "Cognac repeated in a
chorus the Italian and Spanish Bistipow,
"Ah, that must be &splendid Bishopric!"
"IF you ever think of marrying a
widow, my eon," said an anxious parent
to his heir, "select one whose first hits•
band was hung; that is the only way to
prevent her throwing his memory in your
faze, and making annoying compari
sons." "Even that won't prevent it,"
exclaimed a crusty old bechelor, "she'll
then praise him, and say hanging would
be too good for you."
Itrysiny in trade is shown in the case
of two sausage dealers In Paris, with
shops adjotoing, one of whom has painted
on bls glass window, over a pyramid of
sausages, "AL ten cents a pound; to pay
more is to be robbed;" while the other
pots his sausages into a obelisk, and
paints abode it, "At twelye cents a
pound: to pay less is to be robbed."
