Mr. Love's resolution of inquiry in ref erence to engrossing clerks was then ta ken up. Air. shoffner onered an amendment which the Chair ruled out of order. Mr. Davis opposed the resolution, and thought it would accomplish nothing, he was opposed to smelling committees ot every character and moved to lay it ou the table. Mr.tLove said the Senator from. Mont gomery was disposed to ridicule, and treat these resolutions lightly but he would as sure tbe Senate that tbey were necessary, and if he were placed on the Committee he would show them where 2,00U bad been drawn by one of those officers (he would call no mame) that the State had not received a snap of his finger for.

Mr. Gay of Huf field, which story waa a good illustration of Yankee 'cuteness.' Several similar an ecdotes have appeared in print, but this is a genuine "simon-pure," I believe. Among Mr. Gay's parishioners was a well-to-do farmer, named, we will say, Brown, who was especially generous in his free-will tithes to the good minister. This farmer's errand and "chore" boy, getting big enough to take his place at the plough, a new boy was taken to service a rough, untrained little fellow, I think from the poor-house. To him tbe promo ted boy discoursed quite condescending ly : "You have got into a pretty nice I tU To vl ai.'t if you tlVw they'll use yon well, give you plenty of good victuals, a suit of Sunday clothes, winter clothes, winter schoolin', and not work you tew hard. But one thing yon will have to go on errands to the minis ter's pretty often, and lug big baskets of things ; and the worst of it is that you'll nvitp trt Tiolbii.fr Vint 1 1. a n V a frnm tbn parson and his folks not so much as a shillin' for your pains." Johnny heard and pondered, and it hap pened that the very next morning he was sent to the minister's with a heavy quar-' ter of veal, about as much as he could carry. The way was long and the weath er was warm, and when he reached the parsonage he was not in tbe sweetest tem pers. He marched into the breakfast room without knocking, or removing his hat, and setting-down his basket, he said gruffly : "Mr. Gay, Mr. Brown has sent yon this here quarter of veal.' "Ab ! Indeed, said tbe minister bland ly. "I ani obliged to him. Are you Mr. Brown's new boy T" "les" "Well, my lad, when you have been in his family a while longer your manners will doubtless improve." " hy, what s tbe matter with my man ners 1" asked tbe hoy with a look of stu pid astonishment. "Why, my son, they are a little abrupt and discourteous. Now your way of pre sen ting Mr. Brownjij present was not just bat it should lJrwwJecn. I think I can show you, so that you will Jroow just how to do it next time. I will personate yon, and ypu may pretend that you are me, lor a few minutes. r- Saying this, the minister took Up the basket, went into the entry, and closed tbe door. Then he knocked gently. The boy, having seated himself in' the minister's chair, and put on a grave and reverend aspect, called eut, "Come in." Entering very quietly and deferential ly, though with difficulty preserving his ravrtr, holding his hat in one hand and be basket in the other,, the minister aps proached his small prdiffSfed said, wit Ii a law how, ' ' M rJko w n TWtwtHi i I compli ments, and becssTVuii will accept this quarter of veal, Mr. Gay." ' i am very much oblijred to Mr. Hi own, and to you too, my fine boy," said John- ii m n il Ii ui air at i ho utmost seriousness: "but it seems to me that its a big Joed for so small a lad to carry. Just take it into tbe kitchen and ask Mrs. Gay to give you a quarter of a dollar." ' Nobody ever onjpyed this story more then Mr. Gay, except, perhaps, Mrs. Gay, who promptly paid over the quarter to the clever little actor. He ought to have become a great law yer. Perhaps he did, and ended his days on the bench. Indeptndyif. BAGS ! atACiS ! R Us Ws wish to pufsbase a large quanti ty of rags. which we will pay the highest market price.
