In tbe active canvass before tbe members

news over the State that you had elected
a delegation, tho majority of which was
in favor of my nomination, I considered
tho fact settled, and I stand to night be
fore tbe people of Philadelphia to ac
knowledge that nomination If I had re
flected that the comiug contest was a
"State, aud not a National contort, I rniht

Too Lazy to Scratch.

oi a country storekeeper uoing business

have in his employ a clerk, who was con
sidered, not without reason, by the pat

with a good deal of "gab,'aud a fine, o-

influential men of Northern iexas, offer-
ed a gross itisult to Mary Lillitoo. the
young aud beautiful wife of his overseer.
The b"u.-band threatened to chastise him
for tho outrage, whereupon Hopkius load
ed his gun, went to Elliston's house, and
shot him in hia own door. , Tbe murder
er was arrested and bailed to answer the
charge. The occurrence produced intense
excitement, and Hopkius, iu order to tujn
the tide of popular opiuion, or at least to
mitigate the general wrath, which, at first
was evidently agaiut. him, circulated re
ports infamou.ly prejudicial to the char-,
ao'ter of the woman who had suffered such
cruel wrong at bis hands. She brought
her suit for slander. And thus two cases,
one criminal, and the other civil, and both
outonboaomot
the Ann Circuit Court, for . I S10.
the April Circuit Court, for 1S10.
The interest naturally felt by the com
munity an to the issue, became far deep
er when it was known that Ashley and
Pike, of Arkansas, and the celebrated S.
S. Prentiss, of New Orleans, with enor
mous fees, had been retained by Hopkins
for bis defence.
Tbe trial for the indiotmcnt,of murder
ended on the 8th of April, with tho ac
quittal of Hopkins. Such a result might
well have been forseen by comparing tbo
talents of the counsel engaged on either
side.. The Texas lawyers were utterly o
verwhelmed by tbe arguments and elo
quence of their opponents. It was a fight
of a dwarf against . a giant.
The slander suit was set for tbo 9th,
and the tbroDg of spectators grcw in num
bers as well as excitement: and what may
aeeuj strange, the current of public senti
ment now ran decidedly for Hopkins.
His money . had purchased pointed witnes-
es, wno llad served most eiiiciently his
powerful advocates. Indeed, ao triumph-

day,4hat:wben tbe slander.. esse was call

"No, sir, they have all deserted me,

replied the beautiful Mary, bursting into

At "the tone of th.atjVoice ,many started
half from their seats: and, DerhapH, there
was not a heart in that,

which did not beat something quicker
itwas so unearthly, sweet, clear, ringing
and mournrul.
i The first sensation, however, was ohan
god into a general laughter,' when a tall,
guant, spectral figure, that nobody pres
ent remembered ever to have seen before
elbowed bis way through the crowd, and
placed. himself within the bar. His ap
pearance was a problem to puzzle the
sphinx himself. His high, pale, brow,
and small nervously twitobifig face, seem

there is an

ch.air in ao unpleasant manner. Patienoo
a'ud persevcrantre (sweet oil .i. unnecessa
ry here) will, however, overcome many
obstacles'.
An Oily Trader
I -I arrived hero at a vfcTydafcb'f'hour'last
night, on;an oil train, to Union, addfrom
,thencc in an oil waon, and might as weli
have come ou train oil, as we were sixteen
hours behind time. AH traius are bchrnd
, time at Uiaon, I learn, owin to' the ac-
curaul'atV6n:of oil on the track" on that por-
'i tjon of the road. The oil fries otft of tbe
ground ,aud-lubricates tbe rails-for a great
disljfciicp'- ,Wc -should'nt. have arrived
rbere at'aUlf tho paseDera hadn't got
out and sprinkled the track with ciVar
ahes. 'Pslipped out of bed (nobody "a
riios" here; -we all slip iuto bed and slip
out,) at an early hour in this morning,
and began investigations. I found a ree
tion embracing fourteen thousand acres
ofjand, ohuek full of oil springs.
How, the Women fry Dough-nuts.
Drilling is unuf ce?fary here, notwith-6-tandiog
the manufactures of tteara pumps
claim that it is, as tbe oil boils ap iu
springs, sometimes to the heigbt of twen
ty five feet, and is caught in tin pails as
it eomes down. On a hot day, I am
told, it in no unusual thing to seethe wo
men frying dough-nuti in these jets of oil.
The bails of dough aro dropped into the
Jets, where tboy are allowed to toes a
bout like corks in r. fountain, until they
are fried by the beat of the sun.
Slippery Elm.
The only Fpecies of treee w bicb abounds
hero is tbe slippery olm. These trees are
so siipp.ery a squirrel can't climb them
without dipping his paws in Spaulding's
Prepared Glue", a small bottle of which
he always carries suspended about 'bis
neck. There are a few maple trees bore,
but no sugar is made, as nothing but oil
runs out when they are lapped.
A Siver of Oil.
There is one considerable sized creek
running through this country, which is
all oil.' It was discovered a short timo
ago iu a singular manner. Three boy3
went in bathing and when they came out
we're so greasy they could'nt stay in their
clothes. A3 fast as they slipped tbcm on
they would slip off again, and one of the
lads in. a heedless moment, narrowly es
caped, slipping out of bif skin. On reach
ing home their parents', beio$ exceeding
ly frugal, wrung themout, and extracted
about fourteen gallons of pure oil Jroni the
three boysV. -Fact. A company are erect
ing a largo'caudlo factory on the banks
of the river, proparing to dip candtea in
it.
Amusements.
The principal amusements hcre-a'ro
climbing greased polos and catehing biled
pigs, the necessary appliances bcincoh-
atautly cn hand. Sliding down hill is
j popular among all classes during the sdin-
1 mer months. This is effected- wifhoht
hmg is wafted to rpv: window from
a number of oily., beauties -as tbby svrcetly
dissolve down the sides of that- m'elting
slope.'
