Stephens ?ays wh ist and swears eloquently. The first bar of steel ever manufactured in the goith waaoUed last week at a mill in Chattanooga, Tenn. Mr Jenny, of Ne,w Bedford, Mass., used suc forah language to his mother-in-law aged 70 years, that the poor old creature fell dead from fright. . An editorial writer on the National In telligencer was discharged for calling Daniel Webster "as arrant a humbug and dema gogue as bad ever been foisted npon the Bepnblic." The Intelligencer has been dead a long time. Whitehall Times: Young lady very much shocked, ' Oh, ma, did you notice that in suiting puppy that jast passed ue? I look ed at the wretch nntil he got way out of sight, and he had the impudence to stare at me, the horrid thing ; and just as he turn ed the corner he actually lifted his hat and bowed." Sterne, the author of that much admired and oft quoted poetical conceit, "God tem pers the wind to the shorn lamb," &hed tears, it is said, oyer a dead jackass. It is also said that he broke his wife's heart: It Is enough to break any wife's heart when her husband weeps over a departed jackass. Jonathan Walker, the noted abolitionist hero of Whittier's poem, "The man with the Branded Hand," died last Friday in Mus kegon, Michigan, in great poverty. For at tempting to free slaves he was captured in Florida, imprisoned, pilloried and branded on the right hand with the letters 8. 8., or 81ave Stealer. He ws born in 1779, and was long noted as one of the most vehement of abolition and anti-slayery lecturers. "Little Breeches" Hay is still Harte-ty, though his name long ago disappeared from the newspapers. The Herald says: "Col. John Hay, once Private Secretary Lincoln, afterward poet, then on the staff of the Tribune, and eventually the happy hus band of a sweet aad wealthy wife at Cleve land, is spending a day or two at Philadel phia." Eli Perkins says on his tickets of admis sion: "in case of an accident to the lectu rer, or if he should die or be hung before the evening of the disturbance, this ticket will admit the bearer to a front seat at the funer al, where he can sit and epjoy himself the same as at the lecture." This explains the rush to hear Mr. Perkins- The too san guine pnblic foolishly bases its hopes npon that delusive "if." Frivolous ' Duels. Washington Capital. Co) Montgomery was shot in a due l about a dog; Colonel Ramsey in one about a servant; Mr J? eatherstone in one about a recruit; Sterne's father in one about a goose, and another gentle man in one about an acrerof anchovies. One officer was challenged for .merely a&King his opponent to enjoy me sec ond goblet, and another was compelled tor fisht about a Dinch of snuff. Gen eral Barr Was - challenged by a Captain omunjj&r declining wme at dinner on a steamboat, aitnougn the General had pleaded as an excuse that wine' invari ably made him sick: and Lieutenant Cowther lost his life in a duel because he refused admittance to a club of Dieeon shooters-. In 1777 a duel oc curred in New York city between Lieu tenant ,'Featherstonehaugh of the Seventy-sixth and Captain Mcpherson of the Forty-third British regiment, in regard to the manner of eating an ear of corn one contending that ;the best eating was from the Cob, and the other that the grain should be cut off from the cob before eating. Lieutenant Featherstonehaugh lost his right arm; the -ball .from . his antagonist's pistol shattered the limb dreadfully, so that it had' to be "amputated. ' Graham, Maj or Ndar's assistant editor on the National Advocate, lost his life in . 1829, at the dueling ground at Hoboken, with Bar ton, .the son-in-law of.

The 'Salisbury Watchman warns the Democrats of Rowan that the Radicals of that county are playing a wily game ; that' they intend to bring out and support "independent" Democrats for the Legislature. The Salisbury Watchman says that if the Democrats of Rowan have to vote fo a "dark horse' for the congres sional nomination, their ballots will be cast, probably, for Mr Kerr Craige. The Reduction on the Tobacco Tax. Washington Special to Richmond Des patch, Uthinst . My information that tobacco-reduction is stronger to day than when the vote was taken over a week ago comes from those best posted in regard to the subject. Its opponents are working industriously and quietly, and their habit is to select individual members and flood them with memorials and circulars setting forth that the revenue cannot stand a reduction ' to sixteen cents; that the heaviest manufacturers are against it; and that the consumer pays the tax. To copnteract the oper ations of wealthy monopolists will re quire the hardest work. The reduc tionists, however, have the right and the argument both on their side, and this makes them hopeful. Talk of Impeachment. Wash. Special to Baltimore Sun, 13th It was stated in this correspondence last night that the probability was that no measure proposing to test Mr Hayes' title could go through the San ate. This view is further confirmed to day by conversations with Senators. While this is the case, several Senators have expressed the opinion that of Mr Hayes was privy to the acts of his friend, Governor Noyes, and knew in advance of the frauds through which the vote of Florida was cast for him, he certainly would be impeached by the House of Representatives, and through this constitutional mode of procedure removed from office. Sodden Death. Rock Hill (S. C.) Herald. Mr W B Cline, a respectable citizen residing ten miles south of this place, was found dead in his bed on Saturday morning last. It seems that he had, on the day before, pursued hia farm labors juBt as usual, and retired at night in perfect health. Not rising Saturday morning at the usual hour, his wife sent one of the children into the room to wake him, when, to the astonishment of the family, he was found cold in death.
