Fnote nni Davis ware in congress in
1845 (while Tuyloratul Cuss weriicaii
diilutrs for tl-o lVesiilency), and occu
pied a room together nt the Willnrd
liotel. One evening, seated by the
piime firesidd, Mr. Darn rend aloud
from a political letter of General Tay
lor, and ninde running 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, he intiinated quite strongly
that he thought Mr. Davis at heart
was a Taylor man ; that rtiite of his
prof'e9ed support of the Democratic
nominee he wi iilj secretly rejoice over
General Taylor's election. Mr. Davis
hod married a daughter of General
Taylor, and this little circumstance,
Mr. FoiU suggested, was at tho bot
tom of his colleague's compliment of
:li6 letter, adding, in his impetuous
way, that it would doubtless be a very
nice thing, after all, to be a son-in-law
of the president even of a Whig
president.
Dr. Davis could not brook tins sar
castic intimation f treachery on his
part, and retorted in severe language,
one word bringing on another until
tho "grave and reverend" came to
blows.
The noisa of the fisticuff arpiiRed
other Congressmen, who rushed into
the room ur.d separated the combat
ants, ndinohishih" them of the shame
which would attach to two distiguish
ed Senators from the tamo State in
duliHtii; in a disgraceful knock-down
This view of the matter naturally
brought the two to terms, end, like
the ruan and wife who "argued" the
the question of "rat or mouse," they
shook hands and made friends.
'Keally, said Mr. iooto, alter a
fnii'e oil around; 'really, I should
not have thought of such a thins as
striking Mr. Davis, if he hadn't passed
the first blow.'
'Are you not mistaken about that?'
urged Mr. Davis, apologetically.
'Indeed, I am not,' retorted the im
pctuons.
'It is niv impression you struck
first,' pleaded Mr. D.
'Oh, no ; it was vou.'
'No, it was yon
'But I'll swear it was you.'
'And I would swear it wasn't.'
'You did strike first.'
'I did not Etrike first.'
You did.'
'I didu't.'
'You did.'
'I didn't.'
'Well, said 1'oole at last, using
hastily from his seat, 'there shan't bo
any dispute as to who struck first this
time, and as lie spoke dealt mr.
Davis a slinging blew on the cheek,
which resulted in another rencontre,
that, but for the interference of mu
tual friends, mi"ht have been going on
until now, for both are 'game' all over.
the question as to who struck first be
ing thus settled, nothing serious grew
out of the matter, especially as either
party preferred to linra the matter
hushed up speedily as possible.
home time since a little town 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 tires suddenly ceased,
not an epportuuity 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 off tho night before, and the
long looked for chance was afforded for
testing the new purchuse. To the as
toinishnieut of nil, tho four legged de
tective took a straight line to the
hnuse of one of the wealthiest deni
zens of the town, uearly three-quarters
of a mile distant, and placing his
fore paws on the window, glaring
through and bayed savagely at the
owner, who was engaged iu docorating
the tree for tho festivities of the mor
row. The scene that followed may,
perhaps, bo imagined, and a consider
able sum of money was readily paid
iu order to hush the affair up.
A mentiouablo old lady died in
Newbury port.Massachusetts, this week.
This was Mrs. Abigail D. Cook. She
died on the 73d auuiversary f her
wedding, and in the same room iu
which she was married. She was one
uf the choir which sang at the welcome
of General Washingtou on his visit to
ISewburyport, aud she also sang at the
commemorative services ou the occa
sion of the General's death. She wis
the mother of nine children, aud for
sixty-five yean a member of the
church. She is said to have been a
very haudsomo woman in her prime,
and ehe retained her sprightlinesj to

AH.CIOTE OF A ;UHAT FIDDLER. ;
Pagnninl upon ono occasion was
journeying lrom London to lans,
when Ins tumons Uuarncnus met with
an accident, the rnse in which it was
carried having fallen down with so
violent a concussion a to unglue 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,
aud that his violin in consequence
had lost its tone. The gentleman ap
plied te, informed the disconsolate
performer that in order to asserlain
the precis amount of mischief, it
would be necessary to open theinstru
incut ; but to this Puganini would
not consent, unless the operation was
performed nt his own house nnd
under his own eyes; and the torture
he underwent was indescribable. He
seen'.ed, indeed to he suffering tho very
pangs of martyrdom, and absolutely
writhed in his chair nt each crack
caused by the breaking away of tho
glue at 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, meeting tho
musical doctor who had by ,liis skill
elUided so complete a cure for tho in
ternal injun', the grateful violinist
took him by the arm, and saving,
"Thank you, my dear friend, it is as
good as before," he drew from his
waistcoat pocket a little red merncco
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 the recipient of tho lat
ter gilt opened the little box it was
found to contain n pin set with twenty
three diamonds, in the form of the
letter P. .
The London Times publishes an ex
traordinary story of an escape of six
Communi3lsfrin the Tortrws- of Port
Louis, between Brest and La Rjchelle.
the writer say that he and five com
panions discovered a way frera their
dormitory to a cellar under it, .and
determined to make a" road from the
cellar to the sea. They sunk a shaft
in the earth thirteen feet dorp aud ex
cavated a tunnel forty-six feet, till
thpy reached the wall of the rampart.
All this had been done with nails torn
out of the woodwork, but when the
rampart walls was reached the nails
were useless. It Is constructed of
enormous blocks of grauite, joined by
Roman cement, and is sixteen feet
thick. The rrisnncrs, howover, tore a
bar out of a window, and by iude
scribable labor' oxcavnfed " a hole
through which they could creep out
on tho rocks, whence they escaped te
England. The Times beads the story,
"An Historical Parallel to Monte
Christo."
John Wilson is a braketnan on a
Minnesota railway. Tho other day ho
heard of a train snowed in seven miles
distant, nnd not being on duty, pro
cured n large quantity of crackers
and cheese, enveloped himself in a
cloak with a hood, and with the wind
blowing a gale and the thermometer
twenty-seven degrees below zero, start
ed on foot to r ilisve the hungry passen
gers. Although he felt his face and
ears freezing, he trudged on until he
reached the train, almost exhausted
and unable to speak distinctly. Tho
grateful passengers thawed hi in out as
well as they were able and one of them,
John - Lawlor, Esq., of. Prairie du
Chien, who had some ladies under his
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 in the habit of helping him
self from a pail of "odds and ends"
belonging to a neighbor. One day
he upet the pail aud it fell to pieces,
upon which the sagacious creature
went heme and brought buck a sound
pail which he substituted for the
in liken uo transferring the contents
from the old to the new, after which
he hid the staves of the broken veesel.
We have heard of "sly dogs" before
but was there ever a dog so sly as
this?
Dollars have been coined by vari
ous uatians, aud they differ in value.
After the adoption ef the Federal
currency it was customary, when ab
breviation was desired, to express
American nioue- soy one hundred

100," Iu the courso of time the U was
written ever the S iu a narrower shape ;
afterward the bottom of the U was
cut off, and two straight stroke, re

Some statisiipinn gives ui ns a result
of his investigations that, about 7,000
acres aro cleared of timber each week
day iu this country. Of the annual
crep $0,000,000 worth goes to fuel,
and 8150.000,000 worth to fencing.
The Locomotives in this country con
sume no less than 700,000 cords of
wood a year, or 0,000 acres annually.
We nlso see it stated, that a. careful
estimate has been made uf the timber
lands in Pennsylvania and the aver
age yield 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 iudorsment that their truth
can scarcely be doubted; nnd taken
in connection with tho recent heavy
sales of timber lands in this nnd ad
joining counties, thonld admonish
those who still have good bodies of
pine timber to bo careful as to how
I hey slash and cut it down. We have
frequently, during the past year or
two, tried to impress upon the land
holders the necessity of preserving
their standing timber, that its increase
in value ou the stump would yield a
greater profit to the owners in the
courso of a few years, then could be
realized in any ether investment they
could make; and each day is develop
ing tho fact that our predictions were
correct. And now once more we nd
monieli thoso who slill have good
standing timber to preserve it. Take
care of it, and don t cut any of it un
necessarily, fur the day is not very re
mote when it will be worth double its
present price. Ex.

John Jame.s Ingalls, the new Kan

Mr. Iugalls : Civilization is a veneer.
The geutieman is a varnished savage.
Tho institutions of society nre stucce

feel that it is huinilinling and coward

Tlic Btston Bulletin, iti an .article
on 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, and
decide, in advance, upon its value, he
can, in case of its destruction, go and
get the full amount of his insurance,
and not be insulted by o tll-rs to 'settle,'

Yankee 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 und one notions was a
complete hotel, with kitchens and
other outbuildings, which can be
nut up in sections in two days. Among
the passengers were commissioners for
the selection of a site for a city, ami
n score of Boston, "drummers" with
casts of samples.
A newspaper of Iowa city gives
rather a discouraging account of what
the farmers in those "diggings" are
doing, or rather not doing. Here are
the prices current ; A pair of winter
boots cost two loads of potatoes; a
night'4 lodging, a load of oats; the
wife wear five acres of wheat ; the
children each ten acres of corn ; the
price of an overcoat is a good four
year old steer; ofa Sunday suit, twen
