Amongst the last batch of suits is one brought by a citizen of New Orleans, who was owner of a steamer called the Carlot- ta, which was worth 00,000, but which Butler forced hiin to transfer to him for 838,000. lie then, it is said, procured a cargo of quinine and other medicines of which tho Confederate btates were much in ueed, and shipped it to somo Southern port, where it was disposed of at an im mense profit. hen tho. vessel returned he chartered it to the United btates Gov ernment for $350 per day, although tho or iginal owner had ollered her lor $o0 per day, Finally, just before the close olihe war. the vessel was lost and Uutler yyas paid $40,000 damages.

A young lady, who was a firm advocate of total abstin ance, when riding from her father's county seat to a neighboring village, met a young man on loot who earned a bus picious looking jug.

Thero was once a certain king. who. like many Eastern kings was -very fond of hearing stories told. To this amusement he gave up his time but yet he was neve satisfied. lie at last made a proclama tion that if any man should tell him a sto; ry that should last forever ho would cer tainly make him his heir, and give him the princess, his daughter in marriaere. but if any one should pretend he had such a story and should failthat i'if the sto ry should come to an end he waa id have' his head cut off. For such a price as a beautiful princess and a kingdom raanv candidates anneared and dreadful long stories some of them told. Some of them lasted a week, gome a month and some six months. . Poor fel lows, they spun them out a3 long as they possibly could, but all in vain. Booner' or later they all came to an end, one after another, and the unlucky etory-tellcrs hacT their heads chopped off; At last came a? man who said that he had a "etory that would last forever, if his Majesty would be pleased to give htm a trial. He wai warned of his danger; they told him how many others had tried attd lost their heads' but lie said he was not afraid; and to her was brought before the King. He was &' man of a very composed and deliberate way of speaking, and after making alj necessary "stipulations for b eating, drinking and sleeping, he began: -Oh, king, there was once a king who was a great tyrant, and desiring to in crease his riches he seized upon all the corn in his kingdom, and put It in an immensd granary, which was built on purpose, as high as a mountain. This he did for sev eral years, until the granary was quite full to the top. He then stopped the doora and windows on all sides. But the brick- layers had by accident left a very small hole near the top of the granary, and there came a flight of locasU and tried to get at the corn, but the hole was so Email thai only one locust could pass at a time. So one locust went in and carried off one grain of corn, and then another locust went in nd carried off another grain of corn, and" hen another locust went and carried off another grain of corn, and then another ocust went and carried off another grain of corn. . . He had gone on thus from morning till ight (except when he was engaged at his meals) for about a month, when the King; began to be rather tired with his locusts,, and interrupted his story with: -. "Hell, well, we have heard enough of the locusts we will suppose they helped; themselves to all the corn they wanted. on us wnai uapp&neu aiicrwaras: To which the story-teller answered de- iberately: "If it please your 3Iaiesty. ft is impossible to tell what happened after-' ward before I tell what happened first.?-? And then be went on again: "And then another locust went in and carried off another grain of corn, and then anoth-i er grain of corn, and then another locust went m and carried off another grain of corn." The King listened with unconquerable patience for six months more, when he again interrupted him with: - ; :, "On, friend! I am weary of your lo custs. How lonir do vou think thev will have done?'.' - To which the story-tellsr replied: "Oh. King! who can tell? At 'the time to which my story has come the locusts havo cleared a small spaca it 'mayhe aduhife each way round the hole,' and the air is still dark with locusts on all sides. But et the King have patience, and no doubt we shall have come to the end in time. " Thus encouraged the King listened on br another full year, the story-teller go ing on still as before: l! And another locust went in and carried off Another grain of corn, and another lo cust went in and carried off another grain of corn and then another locust went in and carried off another grain of corn, and then another locust went in and carried off another grain of corn." At last the king could stand it no long er, and cried out: "Oh man that is enough to take my daughter! take my kingdoml take any thing, everything, only let me hear no more of the abominable locusts I . . And bo the story teller was married to the 'King's daughter and was declared heir to the thjrone, and nobody ever express ed a wish to hear the rest of thestory for ho said it was impossible to come to other part of it until he had done with the locusts.- ' .. - i A j Puzzle , " . . .
