the Judiciary in Georgia are 23.225, there being
tiiirteen States in which they are more. Louisiana
ranking the highest. In the aggregate of the three,
t Jeorgia stands next to Massachusetts, which has an
annual total expitiditure of 1-11.365. the largest*-.;

DIALOGUE BETWEEN RUSTICUS AND
TOPSWELL.
Rusticiis. Hello, there, Mister! what’s them ar
things w’hat you wear on your face?
Topswell. What business of your’s, clown?
R us. O, none in particular, 1 ony axt for infor
mation, not knowing what you call ’em, how you
come by ’em, or w’hat use you make of ’em.
Top. What prolit would you reap from such in
formation ?
Rus. Reap, did you say ! Do you reap ’em ?
Well, mister, aint it a’most harvest time w'ith you?
What color do ’em ar things have when ripe?
Top. How durst a man of your cloth question a
gentleman of mine ?
R us. Why, mister, my cloth shall not touch
yours: hands off, rags, here’s cloth what has passed
Irom a tailor s goose to a gander’s back, any more
un he kinder has too many feathers about his bill.
Top. Have done your braying at me, you stupid
jack, you are utterly destitute of maimers.
Rus. Manr»ers! is it a commodity of trade or an
article of dress?
Top. I am not astonished that you know- nothing
about it, for there’s not a pennyworth of it in your
w'hole stock of acquirements.
R us. Well, mister, if there be none in market,
you had best import some, if it be a valuable article;
you might make a heavy profit on a light article.
If you do import it, mister, jist let me know how
you sell it, whether by dry measure, liquid measure,
long measure, or by weight; for I never saw any
of it put down in the trading tables, and I don’t know
how it sells; is it any thing like them ar things you
wear on your face ?

Top. You had better first procuro a little of that'
necessary article called common sense.
Rus. Belike I do lack a little of that, because for
the life of me, I can’t see the use of ’em ar bristles
on your countenance. Mister, do you wear ’em to
keep your teeth w’arm or to shade your lips?
Top. Why, you sheer simpleton, they are all the
,go, now-a-days.
Rus. Well, if they be all that go. Til stay at
homo afore I’li w'ear suoh things r.lout my mo.iih.
Tup. .Vii), you lack wilted booby, they would
be the greatest ornament you ever wore.
Rus. Ornament! ha, ha, ha ! ornament indeed!
Do you call them ar nasty looking things an orna
ment ? Then I wonder w'hat sort of a looking
thing you would call ugly ? But, mister, if you
war ’em for ornament, why don’t you go the whole
figure, and have your whole lace covered? for, if a
little be an ornament, then a great deal would be
ornament m the superlative degree, wouldn’t it,
though .^ 1 was just thinking, mister, that it must
be a dirty soil that grows such a filthy crop.
Top. liittle do I regard what you may think or
say of them, so long as they are the adrnnation of
the ladies.
Rus. Admiration of the ladies! ha, ha, ha! ad
miration of the ladies, to be sure ! ! I hadn’t thought
of that. Some ladies, it is true, have a strange taste.
I have known some that w’ere fond of puppies,
spaniels, and such like, but how any one can relish
such nasty wooly looking things *is them ar on a
man’s face, is a finger-length beyond my guess.
Top. What signifies your guess, insolence?
Rus. I don’t know what sort of gals you have in
town ; but there is one thing I do know, our coun
try lasses wouldn’t let such a mouth as yours come
in a spuirrel’s jump of theirs; now they wouldn’t,
mister. gracious! how much like a varmint
you do look!
Top. 1 have a mind to cane you within an inch
of your life, you impudent clow’n !
Rus. What, with that ar switch? Why, mister,
I wouldn’t mind it a bit more than a fiea bite—not
I: ’taint half as frightful as your face.
Top. Touch my mustaches, and you shall feel it.
Rus. Touch ’em! why, sir, you needn’t fear
that; I wouldn’t touch them v. ith the tongs—I’d as
soon touch a toad.
Top. Hush! what a simpleton I (Struts pomp
ously.)
Rus. Well, mister, hainl you got a touch of the
big head ? Your jaws appear to be kinder swelled
a little.
Top. Humph.—stultissimi! (With a sneer.)
Rus. Well, mister, I have hearn tell of some
people who only lacked the bristles of being a hog ;
but you have the advantage of them, for you have
the bristh’s, any more un you kinder wear ’em too
close to the snout.
Top. Begone, you insolent cur, you extract of
impudence, or I’ll break that brainless skull of
you rs.
Rus. Don't scare me so, mister, you look so sav
age with them ar things on your countenance, that
you hadn’t ought to go about in daylight. Come
out to the back of dad's field, and I’ll bring out his
brier scythe and let you mow ’em off. What say
you, mister, shall I bring it out ?
Top. If it were not for polluting my hands, Fd
thrash your dog-skin v/ell.
Rus. Never mind that, sir; I don't fear the pol
lution of your hands at all, if you will only keep
them’are nasty, hairy things off of me—they are
the only things about you that scare me. You
ought to get a patent-right for ugliness; it a’most
makes my hair stand on eend to look at you. Your
ugline.-?s sticks out so far that I could u’most hang
my hat on it.
Top. What a fool I am to li^tcn at the brute !
(Starts off)
Rus. Tell me, mister, how do you contrive to
eat with them’are things about your mouth? Do
you cat meat, puddings, sassengers, and sich like,
or do you live on spoon vittcls ? How orful much
your mouth looks like a cave overhung with
brushheaps! (Topswell continues going.) Hello,
there, mister! Don’t you want to buy a curry
comb—a rale jam up article—teeth on both sides ?
It will do first rate to curry down that’are mane on
your face. Come, sir, can’t I s* II you one? You
shall have it cheap—best article of the kind in the
market.
Solus. Well, well; don’t he .streak it, like a wild
turkey! I guess he is tired of me and his mus
taches too. If he don’t go and cut ’em off now,
it’s because he either has no shame or no razor—
I’ll leave the gals to find out which. A. H. M.
Neighhorhj.—“ Mrs. Jenkins,” said a little red
headed girl, with a pug nose and bare feet, mo
ther says you vviU oblege her by lendin her a stick
of firewood—fillin this cruet with vinegar—puttin a
little soft soap in this pan, and please not kl vour
turkey-gobblers roost on our fence.’’
Free Trade to the Ijawuer^.—A man ‘rent
r^uutry ippliol lately to a respectable ojiicito.- in
this town lo. legal advice. After dt tailing the cir
cumstances of the case, he was asked if he had sta
ted the diets exactly as they occured. “ Ou, ay, sir,”
rejoined the applicant, “ I thought it best to t*ell you
the plain truth; you can put the /fcstill’t yourself.”
No Sinecure.—Colonel M ,of the Perthshire
cavalry, was complaining that, from the ignorance
and inattention of his officers, he was obliged to do
the whole duty of the regiment. I am,” said he,
my own captain, my own lieutenant, my own cor
onet,”—“and trumpeter, I presume,’’ said a lady
present.
Lovers^ lalk.—William and Einily vv'cre pro
menading in the green wood, near the village of K.,
on one of the airy afternoons of that month of sun
shine and tears, April. The scene and the feelings
of the lovers prompted the following colloquy.-^
iliiani, do not this green wood and our love ex
cite a spirit of poesy ? Come, an impromtu.” “ I
cannot, Miss Emily, I have no more imagination
than a pig.” But you have a fine fancy.” “ Do
you make the attempt, and I will respond to it if
possible.” Miss Emily, in the midst of a cluster of
bushes, the boughs and leaves trembling in the soft
air, began thus:
O, ye little breezes,
How ye whistle through the treeses.
lo which William immediately responded:
Oh! Miss Emi-ly Miss Enii-le,
What poet-ry what poet-re!
The Devil Killed.—A fellow in Georgia recent
ly disguised himself in a club-foot and horn, and
went to the house of a rich w^idow, called himself
the devil, and frightened the family off the premi
ses. He then secured the old lady’s money and
made off. A mile or two from the scene of his
plundering frolic, he met a man returning from a
militia training with his gun loaded. Seeing the
queer looking object in his path, he hailed him:—
there?” The fellow said he was the
Prince of Darkness, and began emitting smoke and
sulphur! The other man, not liking the display of
fireworks, fired and shot him dead! He was re

THE CULTIVATOR,
A consolidation of Burl’s Cultivator and theGi'nesee Farmer.
WILLIS GAYLORD & LUTHER TUCKER, Editors.
Prospectus of Vol. S,for 18H.
The Ci'LTivATOR was established to improve
and elevate the Agriculture of the country ; to
give a proper tone to the morals and mind of the
fanner; to show him the dignity and importance of
his profession; to store his mind with useful know
ledge, find convince him that while all classes are
and must be more or less dependant on each other,
he alone of the w'hole can make any near approach
to independence. If there is one thing more than
another, which in this country gives a man superi
ority over his fellow men, it is knowledge ; and this
knowledge,—knowledge which ia essential to the
success of the farmer as to other men,—it is the de
sign of the Cultivator to aid in injparting.
The volume for 1840, is filled entirely with
Original Communications, embracing articles from
about 300 Correspondents, Irom almost every State
in the Union.
If an increase of subscription beyond any prece
dent in the history of Agricultural Journals,—if the
almost unanimous voice of the public press in our
favor,—if the multitude of private yet flattering tes
timonials we have received, added to a circulation
amounting the first year to Twenty-two thousand,
maybe admitted as=evidence, then we have certain
ly most abundant reason to be gratified with the suc
cess which has attended the Union of the Cultivator
and the Genesee Farmer. No expense has been or
will be spared to render the Cultivator worthy of
the patronage it has received. In the number, va
riety and excellence of its Illustrations, it is with
out a rival at home or abroad, the last v-olume being
embeUished with nearly One Hundred Engravings.
illustrating the improved breeds of Horses, Cattlej

vised by themselves. It is printed in tiie same forpj
as the Congressional Globe, and usually makes
about the same number of pages. Heretofore, ou
account of the set speeches being so numerous and
so long, we have not completed the Appendix until
one or two months after the close of the session; but,
in future, Ave intend to print the speeches as fast as
they shall be prepared, and of course shall complete
the work w’ithin a lew days after the adjournment.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but it ij
necessary for every subscriber who desires a I’ui;
knowledge of the proceedings of Congress, to have
both ; because, then, if there should be any ambi
guity in the synopsis of the speech, or any denial of
its correctness, as published in the Congressional
Globe, the reader may turn to the Appendix to see
the speech at length, corrected by the member luiu-
self.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which a person can ob
tain a lull history of the proceedings of Congress.
Gales and Seaton’s Register of Debates, which
contained a history, has been suspended for three
or four years. It cost about five limes as much lor
a session as the Congressional Globe and Appendix,
and did not contain an equal amount of matter, a
great portion of the current proceedings being oir.it-
ted. We ure enabled to print the Congressioual
Globe and Appendix at the low rate now propojsed,
by having a large quantity of type, and keeping th-
Congrssional mutter that v/e set up for the daily anii
semi-weekly Globes, standing for the Congre^ssion-
al Globe and Appendix. If we had to set up the
matter purposely for these works, we could not af
ford to print them for double the price now charged.
Complete s.'.Jexes to both the Congressional Globe
and the Appendix are printed at the close of each
session, and sent to all subscribers for them.
We have on hand 3,000 or 4.000 surplus copies uf
the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the e.x-
tra ses.sion, which make together near one ihousaiid
royal quarto pages. They give the fullest hi,story
of Congress that has ever been published. ''Ve now
sell them for !j$l each; that is, for the Congres
sional Globe, and $1 for the Appendix. We pro
pose to let subscribers for the Congressional Globe
and Appendix for the next session, have them for 50
cents each. They will be necessary to understanii
fully the proceedings of the next session. The im
portant matters discussed at the hist, will be brought
up at the next session, in consequence of tiie univer
sal dissfiiislliction evinced in the late elections wiih
the vast and novel system of policy which liic powers
have introduced, and which was forced Kircujii
Congress without consulting puplic opinion, or evc.T
iillowijig the full discussion usual in regard to sub
jects of ordinary interest. The reports of the Con
gressional Globe and Appendix are not in the least
degree affected by the party bias of the Editor.-
They are given precisely as written out by the Re
porters and the members tliemselves. Anti tiic
whole are subject to the revision and correction of
the speakers, as tiiey pass in review in our daily
sheet, in case any misunderstanding or misreprc:>e;;-
tation of their remarks should occur.
We make a daily analysis of the doincrs in Con
gress, mid give our opinions in it fret'ly.^'but this is
published only in ihe Daily, Semi-weekly, and Vv'oek-
ly Globes, The Daily Globe is .$10. the Stj:ini i.-
