Foote nml Davis were in congress in
1845 (while Tuylnr antl diss wcrfccnn
diilutes ior to lVcsideticy), and occu
pied a room together nt lite Willnrd
hotel. One evening, seated hy the
fdtiie firesidd, Mr. iJavis rend aloud
from a pnlitionl letter of General Tay
lor, and made riimiir.g comments for
Mr Foote's delectation, which the lat
ter thought were rather too friendly
for a Democratic senator to give ex
pression to iu the heat of a canvass.
In fact, ho intimated quite strongly
that he thought Mr. Davis at heart
was a Taylor man; that spile of his
professed support of the Democratic
nominee he wi nld secretly rejoice over
General Taylor's election. Mr. Davis
hod married a daughter of General
Tuylnr, and this little circumstance,
Mr. Fota su"!!ested, was at tho bot
tom of his colleague's compliment of
.'lie letter, adding, in his impetuous
v.ay, that it would doubtless be a very
nice thing, after nil, to he a son-in-law
of the jiresideut even of a Whig
president.
Dr. Davis could not brook this srtv
custio intimation af treachery on lm
part, and relorted in severe lunguage,
one word bringing on another until
llio "grave and reverend" came to
blows.
The noise of the fisticuff aroused
other Ctiiiirresstii?!!, who rushed into
tli -J room ui:d separated the combat
unts, tuliii(iiiihitig them of the shame
which would attach to two distiguish
ed Senators lnnn the samo btale in
dulging in a disgraceful knock-down.
This view of the matter naturally
brought the two to terms, end. like
tho. in an and wife who "argued" tho
the tinestiou of "rat or mouse," they
shook hands and made mends.
'Kenlly, said Mr. 1'ootc, alter n
Mi!i'a oil nrotiud; 'really, I ehould
not have thought of such a thins: as
striking Mr. Davis, if he hadn't passed
the Inst blow.
'Are yon not mistaken about that?'
urged Mr. Davis, apologetically.
'Indeed, I am not,' retorted the im
nctuotts.
'It is my im:iresslou you struck
first,' pleaded Mr. D.
'Oh, no ; it was vou.'
'No, it was you
'But I'll swear it was you.'
'And I would swear it wasn't.'
'You did sttike first.'
'I did not strike first.'
You did."
I didn't.
'You did.'
'I didn't.'
'Well, saul i'uote at last, using
hastily from his seat, 'there shan't be
any dispute as to who struck first this
tune, and as lie spoke dealt inr.
Davis stinging blew on the cheek,
which resulted in another rencontre,
that, but for tho interference of mu
tual friends, might have been going on
until now, for both are 'game' nil over.
li.e question as to who struck hrst be
ing thus settled, nothing serious grew
out of the matter, especially ns either
uartv preferred to have the matter
hushed up speedily as possible.
borne time since a little lotto in
Ohio was infested by incendiares, and
all other means of detection having
failed, two or three persons clubbed
together and purchased a bloodhound,
one of the kind used by the chivalry
to hunt down runaway negroes in the
pleasant days before the war. In
some manner the news of this little bit
bit of enterprise became noised
about and the fires suddenly ceased,
not an opportunity having been offered
since to put the animal ou the trail of
an incendiary. The day befure Christ
mas, however, a citizen discovered that
a beautiful evergreen tree in front of
his residence had been cut down and
carried on" tho night before, aud the
long looked for chance was afforded for
testing the new purchase. To the as
toinishment of all, tho four-legged de
tective took a straight line to the
house of one of the wealthiest deni
zens of the town, uearly three-quarters
of a mile distant, and placing bis
fore paws on the wiudow, glaring
through and bayed savagely at the
owner, who was engaged in docorating
the tree for tho festivities of the mor
row. The scene that followed may,
perhaps, be imagined, and a consider
able sum of money was readily paid
iu order to hush the ail'uir up.
A mentiouablo old lady died in
Newbury port.Massachusotts.this week.
This wus Mrs. Abigail D. Cook. She
died on the 73d anniversary ef her
weddiug, and iu the samo room iu
which she was married. She was one
vf the choir which sang at the welcome
of General Washington on his visit to
Rewburyport, aud she also sang at the
commemorative services ou the occa
sion of the General's death. She wus
the mother of niue children, aud for
sixty-five years a member of the
church. She is said to have been a
vory haudsome woman in her prime,
aud she retained her sprightlincss to
the last.

I'jgnnini upon one occasion was
journeying lrom London to inns,
when Ins (anions Uunrncrms met with
an accident, the case in which it was
carried having fallen down with so
violent a concussion as to ungltie one
of tho inner blocks of the instrument
On reaching Paris he took it to the
best and most celebrated maker lie
could find, to whom he related, in the
greatest distress, what had happened,
and that his violin in consequence
had lost its tone. The gentleman np
plied to, informed the disconsolate
performer that in order to nsserlain
the precis u mount of mischief, it
would be necessary to open theinstru.
mciit; but to this I.gauiui would
not consent, unless the operation was
performed at his own house and
under his own eyes; and tho torture
he underwent was indescribable. He
seemed, indeed to be suffering the wry
pangs of miirlyrdom, and absolutely
writhed in his chair at each crack
caused by the breaking away of the
glue ut the action of the knife. Tho
success achieved by the operator in
removing the body of tho violin in
duced him, however, to intrust him
with it for tho space of three whole
days, at the end of which his violin
was returned to him perfectly restored.
A few days afterward, mueting tho
musical doctor who had by .his skill
effected so complete a cure for tho in
ternal injury, the grateful violinist
took him by the arm, and saying,
"Thank you, my dear friend, it is ns
good as before," he draw from bis
waistcoat pocket a little red nisrocco
box, which he presented to him with
the observation : "I have had two pins
made ; the one for the doctor of my
body, the other for the doctor of my
violin." When tho recipient of tho lat
ter gift opened the little box it was
found to contain a pin set with twenty
three diamonds, in the form of the

The London Times publishes an ex
traordinary story of an escape of six
Communists frain the fortress of Port
Louis, between Brest and La Rjchelle.
the writer says that lie aud live com-1
panions discovered a way Jrm their
dormitory to a cellar under it, nnd
determined to make a road trotn tno
cellar to the sea. They suuk a shaft
in the earth thirtern feet deep and ex
cavated a tunnel forty-six feet, till
they reached the wall of' the rampart.
All' this had been done with nails torn
out of the woodwork, hut when the
rampart walls was reached the nails
were useless. It is constructed of
enormous blocks of grauite, joined by
Roman cerucht, and is sixteen feet
thick. The rrisnncrs, howovcr, tore a
bar out of n window, and by inde
scribable labor oxcavafed a hole
through which they could creep out
on the rocks, whence they escaped to
England. The Times heads the story,
"An Historical Parallel to Monte
Christo."
John Wilson is a brakeman on a
Minnesota railway. The other day he
heard of a train snowed in seven miles
distant, and not being on duty, pro

cured a lare quantity of crackers
and cheese, enveloped himself in a
cloak with a hood, and with the wind
blowing a gale and the thermometer
twauty-seven degrees below zero, start
ed on foot to relieve tho hungry passen
gers. Although he felt his face and
ears freezing, he trudged on tiutil he
reached the train, almost exhausted
and unable to speak distinctly. Tho
grateful passengers thawed him out as
well as they were able and one of them,
John Lawlor, Esq., of. Prairie du
Cmen, who Had some ladies under Ins
care, took from his own neck a mas
sive gold chain, aud putting it around
Wilson's neck, remarked, "It's a pretty
good man that has worn that chain,
but I've found a better, and he shall
have it."
We have here a dog story which
beats anything of the kind recently
at least related. In Clinton, Mass., a
dog was iu the habit of helping him
self from a pail of "odds und ends"
belonging to a neighbor. Ono day
he upset the pail aud it fell to pieces,
upon which the sagacious creature
nt-ut horns and brought buck a sound
pail which he substituted for the
biuken uno transferring the contents
from the old to the new, after which
he hid the staves of the broken vessel.
We have heard of "sly dogs" before
but was there ever a dog so sly as
this?
Dollars have been coined by vari

Some statistician gives ui ns a result
of his investigations that, about 7,000
acres aro cleared of timber each week
day iu tins country. Of tho annual
crep 8-5,000,000 worth goes to fuel,
and 8150.000,000 worth to fencing.
The Locomotives in this country con
sume nu less than 700,000 cords of
wood a year, or 5,000 acres annually.
We also see it stated, that a. careful
et te has been made of the timber
la n Pennsylvania and tho aver
ngi eld of lumber per acre, and the
alarming conclusion is arrived at that
three years stocking of mill? at the
present rate (fivo hundred millions of
feet yearly), will exhaust nil the pine
timber now standing. These state
ments being made after very careful
estimates and by experienced lumber
men in the State, gives them such an
emphatic iudoVsineiit that their truth
can scarcely be doubted ; and taken
in connection with tho recent heavy
sales of timber lands in this and ad
joining counties, thould admonish
those who still have good bodies of
pine timber to bo careful as to how
they slash and cut it down. We have
frequently, during tho past year or
two, tried to impress upon the land
holders the necessity of preserving
their standing timber, that its increase
in value on tho stump would yield a
greater profit to the owners in the
course of a few years, then could be
realized in any other investment they
could make; and each day is develop
ing tho fact that our predictions were
correct. Aud now once more we ad
monish those who still havo good
standing timber to preserve it. Take
care of it, and don't cut any of it un
necessarily, tor the day is not very re
mot!) when it will be worth double its
present price. Ex.
John Jam Ingalls, the new Kan
sas Senator, has an article in the A'au
ea Hmjuzinc, for lebrunry, on Deane
Mouahaifs ".Sons of the Border," a
fresh und racy Western book. Says
Mr. Ingi'.lls : Civilization is a veneer,
The gcuUcmati is a varnished savage,
Tho institutions of society are stucc
upou all edifice of barbarism. We all
( jee tlmt it is humiliating and coward
ly t call. upon the law to avenge our
wrongs, to waive our ignt to slay the
the seducer, to smite the iusulter, to
exact reparation from the thief. Hence

tiou, the ferocious, exultation of war,
Geneva was well enough for America,
because we won I he bloodless battle.
We can applaud William I., as the
pettifogger praises the squire who
gives him his cause, because heawatd
ed us the boundary we coveted; but,
had the decision been averse, there is
not an American who would not have
called for Grant, tho soldier, and the
solution of his sword.
Tho Boston Bulletin, iii nn article
ou the ordinary methods of insurance,
says : 'Let us have policies so drawn
that when a. man insures his stock or
his house, pays the premium asked,
and gives the insurer every oppor
tunity to examine the property, und
decide, in advance, upon its value, he
can, in case of its destruction, go and
get the full amount of his insurance,
und not be insulted by offers to 'settle,'
based on fine print conditions, purpose
ly sa printed that they will not bo
read. Companies should be protected
against fraud ; but when a man makes
an houtst loss, he should be honestly
paid.'
Yaukeo enterprise was strikingly
exemplified in features of the cargo
and the passenger list of the Tybee,
which sailed from New York for
Samana Bay a day or two ago. Among
the thousand uu l one notions was a
complete hotel, with kitcheus and
other outbuildings, which cau be
nut up in sections in two days. Among
the passengers were commissioners for
the selection of a site for a city, and
a score of Boston "drummers" with
cases ef samples.
A newspaper of Iowa city gives
rather a discouraging account of what
tho farmers in those "diggings" are
doing, or rather not doing. Hero arc
the prices current j A pair of winter
boots cost two loads of potatoes; a
night's lodging, a load of oats; tho
wife wears live acres of wheat ; the
child ru each ten acres of corn ; the
price of an overcoat is a uood four-
year old steer; ofa Suuday suit, twen
