The New York Sniulny l)ipatch contains
the Arenm of somebody about the Presiden

tract i
lint thar t did go by Instlnk, I reckln, en'
the three Mlcr wur nobody on yearth bnt
Hnckrannon, Fillmore and Firinount, an'
they wur a rdayin' A single game or seven
np for the President's cheer of these free
an' awful United G Pluribus States, thirty
one in number, and kiverin' the whole
yearth. There wnr another chap inter that
room with one hand under his coat tail, an'
tother a ttroken'ov his chin, a walkin' about
sorter keertess like, but fust a lookin' Inter
Fillmore's and then inter Fremount's art'
men wtnkin air then a winkin' an' a
frownln, ' fust at one of them and then
tother. Then he'd tiptoe and try to peep
into Bock's hand. But the old fellow hilt
it nnder'the shadder or the table, an sorter
looked at It sideways, hisseir, an' was a
watehin' the peepin' feller, too, all the while,
right clout. His name was Sea-ward, or
Hell-ward, or sutnthin' of that sort, no mat
ter which. Now, gentlemen, I ken play old
sledge myself right crt, and when I seed
that it wur a game of two plnt-k one, an'
that Buck cannon was bound to be skinned
iv his hide didn't grow fast onto his bones,
1 got mad as a bee in swarmiu time, and 1
jist tho't (mind I srd nothin') that I'd like
tu knock off enuff or that chap's skull to
make a bullit ladle, rf I dared to.
He is a darned snake in the grass, sure.
Well, arter they had played out their hhitds,
Mr. Buck cannon sex, a bow in' mighty iter-1
I lite,. " I believe, gentlemen, I had Wgh,
'jack, and that has sot me six, if I aint mis
1 taken." Then both on 'em, Fillmore and
j Fremont, spread out all o' Buck's tricks,
onter the table, ' till they saw Ait ace of
trumps on tbe jack or trumps which he had
cotched from Fillmore with the king, and
then they agreed that he tea six. Hea
ward said, "yes, he reckoned that was the
state of the game." Fillmore then, as mod
est as a fifteen year ok! gal, sed, I made
low ; you cotch my juice with your old ace
Mr. Buck cannon, and that sits me three."
All agreed on that count, and Fremont,
leaning on his cheer liaek, whispered behind
his hand tn me, "and d 1 low it was, too,
don't yoti think so ? and his black mus
taches twisted np into two cork screws ; but
all agreed that Fillmore was thrtt and
no mistake. . Fremont then said, " I made
gamt aud that sot me six with you, Buck
cannon." Buck bowed agin to that ; but
Fillmore sed, " sir, I'll connt game with you;
this is not ttlsactly according to onr under
standing, sir," and at first he looked like he
inout be made to file. Sea-ward frowned,
frowned, shook his head, winked and 6 wealed
mightily. - Fremont said so too, nd all at
old fillmnrt, but it warnt no use, count game
he wonld, and Fremont he beat him one.
So that sot the game Buck six, Fremont
six, and Fillmore three aud Buck's deal,
and Fremont's beg or stand. Buck licked
his thumb, and dealt e'm mighty slow and
keer.'nl. I loked at Fillmore's keerds as he
got 'in from the deal, aud it liked to knock
me down. ) ;'( .
There was ike see. the king, the meen.
i the jack, the ten, aud the juice of trumps j
Thinks I, oh, Ijordy I and then I looked at
him, aud there the old feller sot, his belly
kiverin the cheer all over, an' nearly oat to
his knees, as solemn, as big, an' about as
wite as an old Intch Sqnire tryin' of a
bastardy ease, with good proof agin the
daddy. I tell ye,' boys, he looked just like
he had his fast big horn of whisky for the
nit an', felt it in his boots. I tho't, wh,
LtorUy I agin. Buck never turned np his
hand, but axed Fremont what he meant to
do. lie looked at bis herds, sorted 'em.
then looked at 'cm agin, then up at the
lamp, then at Buck, scratched his ear, shot
up bis eyes, an' very slowly sed 1 beg. By
the jumpin' Jchospbat I Buck run 'em
quick, an' I thought it no harm to take an
other look at old Fill. He fotcbed a low,
collicky sort of grant, and then he blowed.
I swar, the wind come outea his nose, mouth,
eyes a a' years, an' like to put the lamp out.
1 dodged, an' tuk a peep iuto Fremount's
hand, an' I now swar, that when a man's
six on a big game of seveu-np, I never
seed jist sich keerds. He hilt tother three
aces, bound to be high let what wonld cum
an' out an'-out President at that. Thinks I,
oh, Liordy, Buck. Ob, Lordy, Fi'lmore !
an' watched to see what suit was to make
the President outen that male eatiu' Fre

Nothing in Maryland if he didn't turn jack
jist as easy as ef thar'd been fifty two of 'em
in the pack, an' then only leaued back an'
smiled load for President. ,
The Jots of Maternity. Grace Green
wood, (Mrs. Lippincott, ) in an address to
mothers in tbe last number of The Little
Pilgrim, thns writes :
" Since I last addressed you, another year
has passed over us a peaceful and fortunate
year to most of yon, 1 trnst, yet doubtless
bringing to the happiest hearts and homes
something of change and sorrow. To me it
has brought' the most profound and sweet,
the most solemn and sacred happiness of
womanhood for within this year I have
been joined to ' the great and noble army of
mothers7 I am now one of you. Oh, if there
is a time when woman may feel that she,
like Mary of old, is 4 blessed among women,'
it is when she folds in her arms her first-born
child feels the tonch of its tender, little
hands thrill on her heart-strings feels npon
her check tbe first soft breath of a life im
mortal sees faintly twinkling in the misty
depths of sleepy little eyes a love that shall
yet brighten tbe world for her. This joy
unspeakable, this holy triumph of maternity,
is Heaven's abundant compensation for all
that is denied to her. With existence re
newed and freshened by the inflowing of this
pure rill from the divine fountain of life
with my heart made more tender and loving
by the sweet, mysterious influences by which
babyhood, mighty in helplessness, and, with
out speech, most eloquent, comes to as I
feel like consecrating myself anew to the ser
vice of such as Jesns took in his arms and
blessed aud of you, whom maternity makes
kin to her once elected the highest joy and
and deepest anguish, of mortality her whom
lie most love aud most teuderly remember
ed in his last hour.

tbe way he would train np his child. Kx

This morning an outrageous and at the
same lime an amusing scene occurred ia the
House of Representatives. It took place
this way i Nearly all the members being
Iiresent, they proceeded to organise tho
louse in the usual way, by electing a Speak
er, Clerk, Assistaut Clerk, aud Sergeaut-at-Arms
pre tempore. The person chosen , for
Speaker , pro tern, was Mr. Dougherty, of
Union t for Clerk J. C. McOonnel ; for Ser-geant-at-Arms
Tevis (J rent house, of Fay
ette. The Scaker and Chair took their
scats. At this time Mr. Bridges, the Clerk
of the former House, made his appearance
and declared himself tbe presiding officer of
the House until it was regularly organized,
and protested against the proceedings of tbe
members in electing a Speaker and other of
ficers. The members paid very attention to
him inasmuch as tbey had au intimatiou as
to the course he intended pursuing ami
went on with the business. The Speaker
then directed the Clerk pro tent, to call the
roll of the House and see how many mem
bers were present. Mr. Bridges again pro
tested, called the Speaker to order, declared
himself the presiding officer, and demanded
that the members address him. The Siieak-
er several times called Mr. Bridges to order,
aud Mr. Bridges agaiu called the Sieaker
to order. Every one began to be somewhat
excited at this stage of proceeding. : Mr.
Arnold, of Chicago, commenced making a
Bccch for the purtose of sustaining Bridges,
and here we will proceed terMim tt litera
tim t
Mr. Arnold " Mr. Speaker, I wish to
make a few remarks."
Speaker " Does the gentleman recognise
me as the Speaker T" ...
.v Arnold "No, sir."
. Speaker" Then the gentleman is ont of
order and will take his seat. The Clerk will
proceed to call the roll."
. Bridges " I protest. I have my rights
here and intend to maintain them. 1 aw
presiding officer of this house and intend to
maintain my rights."
Speaker" Order."
Bridges " I call you to order, sir."
Logan of Jackson "Mr. SHwker, I
move that the Sergeant-at-Arms, pro est., be
instructed to take Mr. Bridges out of the
House, if he persists iu his course.
Bridges " I call you to order, sir."
. Logau's motion being seconded, and the
question being put and carried, the Speaker
directed the Sergeaut-at-Arms to show Mr.
Bridges the door.
Mr. Greathonse, Scrgcant-at-Arras walk
ed np to Mr. Bridges, and politely iuforuied
him that he was directed to show him out.
Bridges told him to keep his hands off or he
would get hurt. Greathonse took hint by tbe
collar, when Bridges struck him, and then
commenced the scene. They clinched, while
many of the members made up to the scene
of action to assist the Sergeant ia the dis
charge of his duties.
After some considerable wrestling, knock
ing orcr chairs, desks, inkstands, men, and
things generally, Mr. Bridges was got out
with his coat " shockingly torn." Five or
six Scrgeant-nt-Arms were then' appointed
to keep order, and the House proceeded to
business. After the members had been
sworn in, tbe House adjourned until . three
o'clock tliis afternoon.
This is one of the most disgraceful affairs
that ever occurred iu our State, and by far
the most impudent. Such a thing as the
old Clerk organising a new House of Repre
sentatives was never before heard of in this
State, and Mr. Bridges himself knew that
he had no such authority, for he himself had
beeu appoiutcd, two years ago, Clerk, pro
tempore, and after tbe House was organised
he was elected Clerk for tbe session. We
think Mr. Arnold is responsible for trying
to snstain him in his outrageous course.
It is supposed that the object of Bridges
and his Black Republican confederates, in
pursuing this course, was that they might
exclude two Democratic members whose
seats are contested, and by this means hare
a majority whea they came to elect a perma
nent Speaker but they failed.
Here is another description of the fight
from another correspondent :
The Sergeant with a bow, laid his hand
on the gentleman's shoulder, and Bridges
made an effort to put his knuckles into the
Sergeant's fat face. Then followed a scene
which, as the novel writers say, " beggars
description." Bridges battled with all his
might, and indeed 1 must accord to him the
credit,, if credit is the proper term, of evinc
ing throughout tho whole transaction a
pluck that was worthy of a better cause.
The Sergeant did not appear to have a wish
to do any harm to his belligerent adversary,
bnt he was determined he should go out of
the House and out he did go ; the before
mentioned officer dragging the aforesaid
usurper by the collar, the latter kicking and
splurging, while several members were at
his back, boosting him in the direction of
the door, where tbe offender made his exit.
I am gratified to be able to slate that no
bones were broken and no noses tapicd
the principal damage being to Bridges' coat
and standing collar and to the Sergeant's
embroidered shirt-bosom. I apprehend thai
both gentlemen were somewhat fatigued af
ter the tussle. At any rate, they brealhed
as though they were tired.
Ax Exceu.ext Pes-Witf.r for Steel
Pexs. Fill a short, wide-mouthed vial with
shot, the smaller the better. Whenever it
is necessary to clean the pen, rub it up and
down iu the shot, This is much more effec
tual than cloth wipers, and the shot will last
a lifetime. .
To Prevext Ixcoxvkxiexck from Perspi
RATict or the Hands. Ladies who work
lace or embroidery sometimes suffer incon
venience from the perspiration of their
hands ; which may be remedied by rubbing
their hands frequently with a little dry
wheat bran.
To Preserve Steel Pexs. Metallic pens
may be preserved from rusting by throwing
into the bottle containing the ink a few
nails, or brokeu pieces of steel pens, if not
varnished. The corrosive actiou of the acid
which the iuk coutaius is expeuded on- the
iron, so introduced, aud will not therefore
affect the pen.

the canvass, Mr. Buchanan admitted that Col.
Fremont was entitled to the appellation of
" conqueror of California," the vote of that
State makes it clear Buchanan is the victor
of the conqueror. The - poet says "'tis
cruelty to load a fallen man," but the truth
of history couicls the Hartford Times to
(tile it on thus : .
" California gives her son Fremont an un
merciful drubbing. He falls so far behind
Buchanan that he is really among the 'scat
tering.' His own couuty Marijwwa (nil

Neatness ix Nebraska. We extract the
following description of what a Nebraska
editor calls " neatness in Nebraska f
We always did like neat people. We al
ways did cherish a kind of tender feeling
for all neat women. But we never were
really " struck" by one until last week, and
the way of it was this : we were "out west"
a few miles and got belated, looked for a
place to stay over night, found a cabin, ask
ed if we could be accommodated, and a tall
woman with freckled face, red hair, Buffalo
skin moccasins, buckskin dress and a free
soil baby, said she " reckoned we mout."
We got off our horses, hitched them to
a cotton wood corn crib and went in. We
asked for supper. We got some bacon, mo
lasses, broiled pumpkin and eorn dodger.
We ate heartily. Alter meal was past, the
woman said to the oldest girl ; " Now Dod
dy Jane, you have jist got to keep that old
f lut and them ere pups from slcepin in this
ere meal box any longer. In making this
strangers coru bread, I - was jist naturally
pestered to death pickin the small hairs and
dead fleas out of it, that came off from them
pesky dogs. And if they sleep iu it a week
longer it won't be fit to eat."
We were in love with that woman r- ac
count of neatness. . We like neatness.
Aix to Tor-HET ix a Buxcii ! Quite ap
positely, yesterday, a friend told us an anec
dote of the great smash in the year 1840,
when Martiu Van Bnren, then the Demo
cratic lead-horse in New York, was so con
foundedly beaten. :
It was a few days after the the election,
and news was Kuriug in of Van Burcn de
feats on all sides. Mr. Wortington, the
rather venerable editor of The Columbu3
(Miss.) Democrat, was among those who
were terribly annoyed by "Job's comfort
ers." He was somewhat deaf and rather
irritable. In passing along the streets, an
acquaintance saluted him and inquired kind-.
