Anecdotes of Dean Richmond
From the New York Herold.]
Probably !to man in the State ever gave
more liberally to charitable and political
objects than Mr. Richmond, and numer=
ons are the instances of his unostentatious
charity. • Every deserving poor' family at
his home has experienced the benefit of
his generosity ; and it is known that his
gifts end donations during the war reached
many thousands of dollars. Some twenty
families in aeurruser and Rotie. **antic.
were entirely supported by Mr. Richmond
Wii ile their hui band and fathers were absent
at the war; and in every instance but few
of the recipients knew of his generous act;
Some years ago-Mr. Richmond, while at
Albany, accidentally met his old friend
and former patron, Mr. Shankland, who,
it will be remembered, aided him when a
youth. The interview was most cordial
end interesting,, and their eyes were Fur
fused -with tears 'as they recounted each
other's successes anii-disse-e--5e.....-•-••••

One unfortunate, living upon a small farm
in one of the lower counties of the Sfate
for which he still owed the' sum of $2OO
secured by mortgage. After parting with
his old friend he retired to his hotel.
There receiving a check for $4OO from an
individual waiting. Mr. Richmond eat
down and enclosed the amount to. Mr.
Shankland. with the assurance. that it
gave him great pleasure to famish him
with the -means to discharge the claim
against his home. About eight years ago,
Mr. Richmond, while convening with a
f itOgtin -i ~lificatiAttiglOolul l, lP
ren, and solicited for alme.t- Interrupted
in the conversation, Mr. Richmond, in his
usual gruff manner, told the woman to
"get out, " repeating the order with an ad
dition of an oath, at the
- same time turn
ing his-back to her. He had hardly done
so or uttered. the 'Worth', when be hastily
turned round, and with' more of kindness

you, eh ?" be said in his rough tones and
gruff manner. ' •1 , .
The woman explained thili her husband
bad been. lost in a lake accident, which
Richmond remembered. as having taken
place & year - or_so previously. -
_"How many children have you got be
sides these two?" he asked,
"Two more, sir."
"Can't the work, d-1-n 'em;. can't they
work ?"
'They are infants, - sir."
"Oh I" said Richmond with an air of
self-reproach ; and thrusting_ his heed in
his pocket he took out a roll of bills
crumbled one of them in his hand, 'and
E rving it to the woman. pushed het-gently
away, saying: •
"Get out, now ; get out—we're busy."
The woman moved slowly aside, but in
putting the bill away she glanced at and
discovered it to be a $2O bill. She opened
her, eyes - in amazement, and turning
around to Richmond displayed the bill so
as to show its denomination and said:
"See, sir, what you have given me by
mistake." • ~
. "Get out, get out I" cried Richmon d,
petulantly ; "you d—d beggars are a nui
sance. Go home—go hotne. I tell you. I ' m
busy."
His bad habit of swearing to excess was
one of the most notable of his charecter
istice, and much of his offensiveness to
others resulted from it. . It *ZS merely a
careless , habit, however. and was really
the only emphasis to his language, Ile
swore without knowing it, and in every
presence. The habit "once gay. an ac

and. Christian lady, entirely at variance
with her true character. The gentleman

manager, who had traveled so much by
rail, had never been present at any great
railroad accident. •
"Never have," said Richmond, "but ex
pect to be some time. My wile, Mrs.
Richmond. said to me only the other day,
says she, 'Mr. Richmond, I expect some
time or another, in your d—d long tripe,
you'll get your d—d brains knocked out
-by these infernal locomotives.'"
The gentleman's astonishment- was only
dispelled by 'further experiences in hear
ing Mr. Richmond swear.
So absolutely innocent was the man in
this careless use of vulgar and profane
language that be vies frequently led into
serious mishaps by them. A minister once
approached him with an introductory' let
ter from Richmond's wife, containing a re
quest that he should be visaed over the
Central Railroad "on her account." Mr.
Richmond received the minister with
great courtesy and was about to write him
a free pass,. when the other begged him
not to do so if it was in any way a viola
tion of the rules of the road.
"Not at all," said Mr. Richmond, writ
ing away, !e
very d—d ' vagabond in the
country comes to me for passes'. You are
entitled to one." -- •
He never saw the mistake he had made,
and the minister Was obliged to exercise '
his good nature in suggesting, as an expla
nation, that he had meant that as every
vagabond got a pass, certainly a minister
of the Goipel wet entitled to one; - .One of
these vagabonds applied to Mr. Richmond

cottage window was also hoisted and the
sweet little Mary was sitting busily en

I thouelstas I gazed on her in mute adm-.

exquisitely' beautiful. She seemed the
embodiment of everything lovely.and be
witching. Well,- time passed on, and one
dsv Mary expressed a desire to visit the
printing office. "Good," thought I. "what

thing original in that, and I resolved to

Well. Mary came into the office, and I
explained to her the use of the various
implements'of the black art—the presses.
the rollers, the ink and the stands, and
the boxes of A, B, C's: • While she was
looking at these mysteries I took an op
'portal:lily to snatch her littl&white band ;
she drew it hack and knocked a stickful
of matter into "pi."
"I must have a kiss for that, my. pretty
one," said I. and at it I went. I managed
to get my arm around her waist, and in
strugeling to free herself, she upset a gal

Suffrage.
Nothing daunted I .made at her again.
This time I w.e more successful, for I ob

sweet one, and that, little Witch bore it
like a martyr ; she never screamed once.
But as I raised my lips from hero, she lift

stars. than were ever viewed by Herschel in
his hig telescope. Somewhat nettled,-and
my cheek smartir.g with pain, I seized her
about the waist and said :
"Well, if you don't' like it, just take
back that kiss."
She made a desperate struggle to 'get

from. bow they are obtained. and in what
numbers they are taken, it may be inter

vast numbers of them • slipped down the
human teacopages as in our owd. And
we are now in the midst and the *ight of,
the season for oyster easing. whiCh, well
for that department of tesfacea, dpes not,
continue all the year round: From May
to August is the breeding setson. and
during that time the oysters are believed
not to be edible—a popular error which
we have no wish to correct, as it saves the
stock from exhaustion.
Oysters are found all along the Atlantio
coast, in the quiet waters of the bays and
inlet., at the depth of from twelve to thir
ty feet. They increase at a
,prodigious rate.

some naturalists, hundreds of thousaudp.

quantities have been exported thither from
this country. An idea of thir prolificness
may be formed from the following state
ment :1 A few years ago the--French sup.
ply grounds became unproductive. through
over-dragging, and an enterprise of Trope:
gation- was undertaken. Three thousand
acres in P favorable hey, were sown wi'h
three million breeding oysters. In less
than six menthe the bundles of brush..
wood Sunk into the Water to confine the
young and minute oysters, were found,_
though not larger than .a sheaf of wheat,
to have attached to each - of them not lees
than twenty thousind young oysters.
The two species of oystei a most used' in
the United States are-termed York River
and York B iv. the former being taken on
the coast' of Virginia and &math, and• the
latter on the New Jersey shore and North
Baltinuire is the celter of the oyster trade;
the stock being supplied from , the Chesa
peake and other baysand their tributaries
By the most , recent statistics within our
reach, although the trade is now much
m Ire extensive. we find that thirty-three
oyster firms in Baltimore packed 1,500.000
bwhela. About 700 vessels were employ
ed in the unesapeatre aura us crinutariea
in catching, and 300 more in careving the
oysters tc market. •About 40,000- hands
are .employed in these vessels, and about
20.000 more in "shucking" and packing
the oysters. The' value of the oysters
Packed - during the season of 1862 wits Si - 200,000. Since the close of the war the
business has largely increased. In other
parts, both North and South, the trade is
extensive. The chief Inspector of Virgin
ia reported the quantity exported in the
season of 1858 9 to be over 2,400,000 bush
els. all of which were taken in the York,
Rappahannock. and Potomac rivers and
Hampton Roads.
It is found that oysters- breed better,
grow faster and are of better crudity when
sown artificially in beds, then when left
in their native localities. It is mainly from
such beds that New Ynr'k Is supplied
with the immense number required for
its market and trade. The localities best
adapted to the purpose, and producing
the best article, are those in which the
fresh water mingles with the brice of the
sea. Thence as the place is chosen with
reference to the depth of water, the oys
ters are ratted from the bottom by a long
handled and long-toothed iron rake and
tossed into boats At the vast packing
establishmeets, they are summarily sad
rapidly unhoused from their shells and
packed in-cane pr kegs and sent through
out the country. Maw they are finally
disp,sed of, in individual use, roasted, in
the shell, fried, stewed and raw, most
people are well informed by personal and

have not, tried them and still regard them
as nasty things, we have no power of lan
