said the doctor, gravely, and Mr. Lundy
lubbed 'his face and pinched his throat.
"Did you really wring my neck sir ?"
the hypochondriac asked gravely.
"When 3rouvere a roaster,' certainly."
"Did 'I die game?" asked the other,

"You did—particularly game," replied

This was - the'speech that greeted Dr,

with IVinnie.' Mrs. L. was,hilears:
"Doctor, as soon as ever I gpt home
I'll have the ridiculous man carried
directly to the hospital—indeed I will,"
cried the poor .woman. I've .borne it

."So am 1, my dear," piped up her
husband, "I expect I'm second hand ;

murmured Mrs. Sofa—l mean Mrs.

"Never, my hive. I protest that, I
could not be anything else if I would—
but a sofd`l am, and a poor one at that."
At that moment the doctor sprang
forward and.planted himself •upon the
prostrate body of Mr. Lundy.
"Capital sofa this," he said, keeping
his position in spite .'of his victim's
struggles. •, •
"Get up, I'm cracking, in 'six places.

doctor.
"You young rascal !"
"Yoll old sofa I"
"Yon desperate young thief!" '
"You rieketty old sofa, with your head
full of braSs tacks, I tell you,' cried the
doctor, "if you had not 'been a feather,

"I see I can't help myself," said the
old man gravely ; • "but I tell you what,
I shall consider you a thief until you
are able to support -your wife in 'the
style she is accustomed ;to." ' - •• •
•"And I, sir,•shall consider you a sofa
until you revoke the decision."
It is needless to add, that was the last
of the trouble. ''
• A long march after a great victory, and
when the American army halted the
walls of the Mexican capital lay
,before
them.
It was a glorious sight, worthy even
of the noble lives lost on hard-won fields
and in long marches under a tropical
sun to reach it. Long lines of ' weary,
dust-stained men marched by to take
the posts assigned theni. Greasy na
tives watched' them silently in sullen
hate, or cursed theta secretly by patron
saints innumerable. Officers of every,
rank da6hed by. One rode slowly,'
noting everything with quick, restless
eyes. A great shout went up front . the
- very hearts of the soldiers.'
It was General Scott. " To-morrow
we will be quartered in the city," said
a soldier, iilready cooking his supper of
hard bread, beef and coffee. Cavalry
;men polished their sabres and artillery
men their guns, petting and talking to
:the grim, bras-throated monsters as
though they were children.i And long
streets and squares of tents grew up as
if by magic.
A young man,wearing the uniform
of captain, watched the scene eagerly.
To him it meant more than the mere
disposal of a great army. Beyond the
barriers of military rank and dicipline,
he recognized the invincible pluck and
courage that characterizes an American
wherever you find him, whether he car
ries a private's knapsack 'br wears a
general's stars.
A staff officer approac led him. " The
General wishes to see y u," he said re
spectfully.'
" Am I to be court-Martialed, or pro
,thoted ?" the captain asked carelessly.
" Neither," was the quiet reply. " I
merely have orders to conduct you to
headquarters."
"Captain Thorne, I believe ?" sard the
general as they entered the tent.
The,captaimixAvecl• CaS.
Th - egenerargave the handsome broil z
cd face a quick, searching glance. Then
he at °tree addressed him.
" I have a difficult and dangerous un
dertaking for you Captain."
The captain looked interested.
" One that re ,quires great skill and se
crecy," he continued, apparently satis
lied with the manner in which the cap
Win received the news.
" I am at your service, General."
" Several officers, one of them a mem
ber of my staff, with important dis
patches, have disappeared mysteriously
of late," the general said, tilting him
self back on'his camp-stool, uncomfort
ably, " and in such a manner that lam
convinced they must have been eaptur
ed,within our-lines, and then disposed
of in some way unbeknown to me, but
which I trust you will soon discover."
" I shall require assistance, general."
" Certainly. I have detailed men
enough from your command to over
come fifty Mexicans—a much larger
force than you will be likely to cocoon
ter.',
" Why, there are not fifty well men
in my company, general," the captain
exclaimed in astonishment.
The general smiled. " I said equal
to fifty. Corporal Judkins is to accom
pany you, and I have reckoned your
.your strategic, and his fighting powers,
equal to that number of the enemy,"
" You are complimentary, general."
" I am no stringer to the fame of 'cap
tain Thorne and corporal Judkins," the
general said, good-naturedly ; " and
now as I have business elsewhere, Ad
jutant Gray will Write the necessary
orders for the execution of our plan."
" The - man of all men I would have
chosen to accompany me," said the
captain.
" Who? Judkins?"
• " Yes ; why, the• man is a giant, in
power, and_as shrewd as he is power
ful."
" T have.heard the general speak' of
him," replied the adjutant as he wrote
the orders.
Li all-New England there was not
another such a Yankee. Nor in all the
army a braver man than corporal Jud
kius. In person he' was tall, bony and
muscular, with. large, ungainly feetand
hands, • and , ragged, homely , featureS,
strongly marked with that strange mix
ture of cunning and simpfieity, so char
acteristic of the genuine Yankee. •
As all of the missing, officers had
been seen last in the vicinity of the
General's tent, it was decided to make
that the base of their operations. Ac-
cordingly, about midnight they left the
General's tent as carelessly as though
though they bad passed the evening
over cards and wine,instead of anxious
consultation with the General.
One by one the lights died °kit, until
the vast camp lay in silence - and dark
ness. For a while they discovered noth
ing to arouse their suspicions, until a
figure came suddenly out of the dark
ness before them.
After a whiSpered consultation they
decided to advance as though they had
not discovered it. As they drew nearer
they saw that it was a woman \ old 'and'
bent nearly ilouble, who hobbled along
'with great apparent difficulty.
The captain recognized her at once.
" It is the old woman who sells fruit to
the' soldiers," ,he remarked to ' the cor
poral. • ,
" But what is she doing here?"
" Doubtless some of the soldiers have
stolen her oranges, and she is coming to
the General with a most piteous -corn
'plaint," laughed the captain.
« Possibly. There is nothing in the
world so ugly as n Mexican v woman of
the lower class, after - threescore , years
belie passed over her. A.Grariada Gyp
sy of that age is tolerably homely, but
a Mexican is positively hideous, And
this ono might have been queen of them
all, just as Quasimodo was Pope of the
Fools, by virtue of his supreme ugliness.
"So the senor watches for Mexican

What would the senor give to discover
them ?"
The captain took a handful of gold

lie said eagerly. The woman grasped

The corporal nodded aequiesence.
At length they stepped before a large
tent, that from its pOsition at the foot of
a small hill, was secluded from the rest
of the camp and almostoutslde the line
of pickets. A light streamed through
a rent In the canvas§. The guide raised
the edge,of the,tent,softly. i Look in,"
she whispered. 1 • ,
Without *Will* to think, theythrew
themselves Off the round and peered
cautiously through the opening. , The
next iiioment strong,urnis were thrown
around them,lind before they could de
fend them Selves of give an alarm they
were gagged, pinioned, and dragged
within the inclosurel
Once within, astrabge sight met their
gaze. The bent form of the guide drew
itself up to twice its former height, and
with a quick, imperious gesture, tore off
the ragged cloak and a skillfully con
trived mask, revealed the face and form
of a man wearing the uniform o f f a
Mexican officer.; ' Colonel Gonzales
at your service," i,he said, with 4. Mock- ,
ing courtesy. ' J
The prisoners started, for Gonzales
was chief of one of the mogt (laring and
successful guerilla b ' ads that harrased
and hovered around be army. 1

" And one of ,thee gentlemen is a
member Of Gen. Santa. Anna's staff; the
other is an 'officer high in the army of
the Republic ; 'and now," he added, re
moving the gags ' from the bleeding
mouths of his prisotts, " the least at
tempt to escape or gl i e an alarm will
be the signal for Your exit into another
world." And asheitouched the long
knife in his belt significantly, they
knew he would keep liis word.., , " And
no'W, captain, yeti Will oblige me by
changing yititii.uniforin'for this Citizen's
dress. Your brother Ricers have worn
it before you." ' i
"Where are they i °iv ?" the captain
could not help askin q
.
The chief took the l'Ong 'knife - -from
his belt slowly. fa This did the Ni7,o rlc
for two of them," ',he Said quietly ; " the
one with t dispatches was disguised as a
civilian and sent; to !Santa Anna one
morning after your pickets were with
drawn. Perhaps,leaptain, it may in
terest you to know' , th t you will be sent
to the same place. As for him," he said
pointing to the corp ral, " the knife
will finish him."
A strange light, blazed In the dark
eyes of the corporal. ," I've got one of
my hands free,' •he whispered 'to the
caitain.
By this
-time the l other Mexicans were
'sleeping soundly, and after binding the
,iCaptain securely, without even glanciiig
'at the corporal, the chief threw him
self upon the ground before the door of
the tent in such a position that the least
movement of the prisoners would awake
him. 1
,
After waiting until he had fallen
asleep,'the corporal slowly and silently
began to reinove the cords that bound
him.
At last, holding up his hands to show
the captain that he was free, he began
creeping towards him intending to re
lease him and then capture the sleeping
Mexicans. Just as. he Ireached the cap
tain a noise outside•wOke the sleeping
guerilla. Gathering all his energies for
the struggle, the corporal sprang or
ward and grappled him with a grip like
iron. Over and over they rolled, ne th
en daring to call for help—the corps ral
for fear of the sleeping Mexicans, he
chief for fear of the sentinels. At last
the corporal succeeding in getting ,cis
antagonist's knife, and 'plunging it to
the hilt in the .Mexican's breast, the
hold of the latter relaxed and he sank
back without a struggle.
. To cut the cords that bound the cap
tain, hind the sleeping Mexicans and
call the guard was I but the work of a
moment., "Perhaps," said the corporal
addressing.thelirisoners, and imitating
the sneeringtone of the dead Mexican,
"it may interest you to knew that you
will. be shot as spieS." . And' two dap.
afterward : they were tried, sentAe»ceil

READY-MADE FOR EMBER - A
man from the country walked into the,
office of a lawyer the other day, and
began-his application :
"Sir, I have comelto get yodr advise
in a cue that isgiving mesome trouble."
"Well, what's thq matter?"
"Suppose now," said the client, "that,
a man bad one spring of water on his
land, and his neighbor, living below,
should build a dam across the creek
through both farms,'iand it was to back
the water upintotheether man's spring,
what ought to be done?"'
"Sue him , sir—sue h im, by all meatb. 7 l,"
said the lawyer, Who alWays became
excited in proportion to the aggeavation
of his clients. "Youicau recover heavy
damages, 'sir, anti. the law will make

"lint stop,"-cries terrified

that owns the spring; and lie threatens
to sue me." -
The keen lawyer hesitated a moment
before he tacked his ship and kept, on.
"Ali I well, sir, yoit say you built a
dam across that creek. What sort of a
dam was it, sir?"
"It was a Will-dam".

Schuyler ColfEa,
Schuyler Colfax was born in the city
of New-- York, March 23, 1823, and is
consequently now forty-five years of
age. father was an _officer pf one
of the 647 banks, and died four months
before his son was born. , Schuyler's
grandfather, General William Colfax,
was the commanding officer of Wash
ington's Life Guard throughout the
Revolutionary War, and married Hes
ter Schuyler, a cousin of General Phil
ip Schuyler, of the Revolutionary ar
my, whence the Speaker derives his
first name.
Schuyler received a common- school
education;and while yet a boy, remov
ed with his mother and her second hus
band, Mr. Matthews, to Indiana, and
settled in St. Joseph. county . For' four
ii.
ki l l ui et y e o r t el l Schuyler served vi as e a ef clerk ew
arlisle, andcwhen seventeen years old,
poti an. appointment-n. 4 Deputy Conn-
Auditor, removed to the county seat;
outh Bendovhere he has since resid
ed. • At an early age he commenced to
take an active interest in political mat
ters', and 'frequently published his views
upon' the questions of the day in the 10- 1
cal. newspaper. He soon acquired rep
utation as,nn able 'writer, and in 1845
bedame prnprietor and editor of the St.
Joseph : Valley Regider, published in
South., Bend..' commencing
withirnall means and a small subscrip
'oil list, the paper, by its general inter
,eSt mid the editorial ability displayed,
- soon became remunerative. He acted
with the Whig party, and in 1848,
itt (nigh only twenty-five years old, he
. cAs a delegate to and ono of the secre
ri es of the National Convention which
i ci
I n,ipai ated General Taylor. His first
tibmi ation to Congress was in 1858,'
When e was beaten by two hundred
vOtes said to have been_ " colonized."
At the time of his seconU nomination,
the Nebraska bill' *its the most exciting,
issue before the country, and the Rep
resentative from the - diskriet having
voted for it, against the ,:desires of his=
,constituents, and anti-.obraska men
immedlately selected Colfax to take the
lead in publishing - the delinquent, and
electedhim by two thousand majority.
When the %Way-fourth Congress met,
there wasa,majority opposed to the Ad
miniaftatiou; but this opposition was of
iti harnion ions material. A famous eon-
tea - t for the Speakership, extending
from- December. 3, 1850, to February,
1857, resulted .1% the election of Mr.
Banks—the first.- formal national tri
umph of the national anti-slavery sen
timent. As the Speaker has power to
constitute the committees of the House,
who prepare and in a great measure de
cide all its- business,' the result was
gratifying - , and may - be attributed In a
great degree to the exertions to Mr.
Colfax, who by great effort succeeded in
staving off the election of Mr, Orr, a
strong pro-slavery man. In the session
of 1856, Mr. Colfax delivered his well
known speech on the bogus:- "laws" of
Kansas, which was considered so able
a summary of the - case _involved, that
during the Presidential campaign of
that year half a million copies were
printed for distribution. From the
year 1856 Mr. Colfax -has been - the Re
publican .candidate for Congress in his
district and has been successively elect
ed by large majorities: He was an en
thusiastic supporter of Mr: Lincoln in
the campaign of 1860, and as long- as
the latter lived,. he loved, respected, and
trusted Mr. Colfax, in whose judgment
he placed such implicit confidence that
it has, been said lie rarely took any steps
affecting the interests of the nation
'without making his intentions known
to him. Jr. 1863 Mr. Colfax was chosen
and has since"remained Speaker of the
House of Representatives,:and has -ac
quired a high reputation as an irripar=
tial and efficient chairman and a skill
ful parliamentarian. Hohas also at
tained distinetitin as a, lecturer and is
perhaps as well known to the people as
any, of our younger public men. A
writer in Putnam's Magazine for June
giv& the following accurate personal
sketch of him : .
" His open, pleasant face has become
familiar to audiences throughout • the
country, who have listened to his ad
dresses upon political topicS, upon the
late Piresident Lincoln—by, whom he
Wati \farmly hved—upen his tour :nc
cross the contTnent to • the Pacitle,•or
upon subjects connected with the work
of the Sanitary and Mil Stain Com
missions. He is pure in his personal,
and moral habits, has a broad,outspok- 1
en, and catholic sympathywith every
good work of reform, whether political,
moral, intellectual', religious, and-has,
the warm and enthusiastie* confidence
of Christains and temperance reform
ers thronghat the country. He at
tends; and we believe is a member of
the reformed buteb . Church, and is a
thorough teetotalist. Without t being
educated as.a scholar, industriousread
ing has given him mueli of what is val
uable in scholarship' unalloyed by its
pedantry, its clannishneSs or its egot
ism. Without, being 'bred' a lawyer,
practical familiarity With legislation.
has taught.him all that is most Valua-
ble in law, freed from the conservatism
and inaptitude for change and 'reform
which rest like an incubus on so many
of those minds which are bred by the
habits of the legal profession to look
for precedents which show what the
law has been, rather 'than to broad
principles which settle What the law
ought to Le: Yet Mr. Colfax,Atis fee
wietitly shown the happiest familiarity
th' precedents, especially in questions
of parliamentary practice.' As a pre
siding officer he is the Most popular the
House has had t3incc Henry Clay.' As
au orator, Mt Colfax is not argumenta
tive, except as clear statement and sound
judgment are convincing. He rides
no erratic hobbies. He demands few
policies which the average sense of in
telligent men cannot be made to assent
to on n clear statement of his position.
He; is, eminently representative. ' A
glancelat his broad, well-balanced, prac
tical' brain, indicates that his leading
faculty is the sum of all the faculties—
judgment--And that what he believes
the majority of the people either be
lievtfor can be made to believe. Some
men may be further ahead of the age.—
Mr. Colfax finds sufficient occupation
and usefulness i n n adapting himself to
times and things as ; they are, without
cutting his. throat With paradoxes or
stealing a march on • mankind with
some new light which they• are very
likely to regard as a "will-o -the-wisp."
He has no eccentricities, butgreat tact.
His talents are administrative and exe
cutive rather than deliberative. Ho
would make good. appointments, and
adopt sure polici6. Ho would make a
better President or ' Speaker of the
House, than Senator. He knows men
well, estimates them correctly, treats
them all fairly and candidly. No.mau
will get through his business with you
in fewer minutes, and yet none is more
free , from the hdrrid .brusqueness of
busy
. rnen. ; There are heart and kind
ness inlr. Colfax's,politeness. Men
leave his presence with the impression
that he,is at once an able, honest; and
kind , man.; Political opponents like
him personally, as well as his , political
friends. We have never heard that ho
had any enemies. The breath of slan
der has been silent __toward his , fair,
.-spotless fame. The wife of his youth,
after being for a long time an invalid,
sank to her final rest several years ago,
leaving him childless.
