Now Johnny got into a fit of what is called the "sujk.s" be cause he was whipped, and in order to convince him that he was jnstly and necessarily punished his teacher had recourse to the following argument: "Well, Johnny, supposing you were riding a big horse to water, and all at enee the hore were to stop and refuse to go any farther, wVt would you do4:' Johnny stifled his sobs for a moment, and looking up through his tears, re plied : -, . t; .

A special dispatch from Washing ton to a. Chicago paper, under dato of the 11th iust , has tho following con cerning the presentation of tho Legal Tender cases in the Supreme Court : There was a very lively scene in the Supreme Court this morning, the old est lawyers practising there having witnessed nothing like ft in: their day. It arose Jo connection with the legal tender case, which it was expected would be again argued on its merits. At the proper hour, Mr. Potter, of New York, who is counsel in one of the cases on which the Court had con sented to hear further argument, in ef sect asked a postponement, for the rea son that the senior counsel was engag ed elsewhere, and others were absent on account of illness. The Attorney General responded against postponement, and in the ( course of his remarke spoke of the necessity fur an early hearing and decision, be cause the country is disturbed and will continue . disturbed until the whole question at issue is settled, lie also alluded to the fact 'that these two cases involve points somewhat like those in the cases recently decided, and in re ply to Potter, denied that any order had ben wade which precluded a hear ing on the point, then decided. The Chief Justice here interrupted, to say that, according to tjis recollection, such an 'order had been made. This was said with evident feeling, and Justice Miller remarked with equal feeling that he knew of no such order. ; Jus tice Nelson came to the rescue of the Chief Justice, and Justice Davis spoke up that he concurred with Miller. The Chief Justice repeated his statement with , emphasis and hardly suppressed pas-ion, and upon the sujnrcstion of Judge Davis, who remarked that it was not worth while to bandy words, it was decided that the cases might go over to next Monday. m The Attorney' Gen eral meantime bowed to the recollec tion of the Chief Justice, and merely expressed his regret that in a . matter of this importance there was no record. 1 he point on which this dispute, so astonishing, iu the Supreme Court, came up, seems to be whether there was or was :not such an order made when Kvarts was Attorney General, as pre vents a further hearing on the ques tion whether the Legal Tender Act aj plies to debts contracted before its paSS'JffC. A young lady being present with her mother aud an "edicated" cousin at a bill in Wyoming, upon being asked to dance replied : "Oh, blazes, boys, I can t dance: but there's mam, jest as good a dancer as ever shuck a f ot." Her horrified co isin instantly correct- el her tell in :r her she rouldhave said : "Oh, vexation ! gentlemen, it is an absolute imp ssiMlitv for me to ncr ambulate the terpsicborean evolutions ; but there is my maternal relatiye, who is just as e,.xeellfent a dancer as ever vi brated a ped4l extremity." Characteristic Here is a dis patch said to have been sent from Prcs iTlent Lincoln to Gen. Hooker: If the head of Lee's army is at Martins burg, and the tail of it on the Plank Itoad between Fredericksburg and Chancellorsvillc, the animal must be pretty slim somewhere. CanU you break him? - A. Lincoln. : - r Some days ago, a bright little juveti iiCj hve years of age,' named llosa, w teased a good deal by a gentleman who Cts the family; he wound np by say ing, "Rosa, I don't love you." "Aa, but you ve got to love me " said the child. '-How so?" "Why," answered llosa, "the Jsible says you must love them that hate you, and that I am sure 1 hate you." i The Naw York' World recentlv in troduced a long table of figures to prove that "protection" compels a man or wo man to pay twenty-one cents a yard for calico, which in England can be bought for fourteen cents. Its own column of prices current answered free trade ar gument. ,; The same kind of calico which protection makes o dear was quoted at nine to ten cents. " A deaf and damb boy in Shelbyville. Indiana, amused himself on Wednesday night sticking1 pins through Mrs. Dr. VValker's trousers while she was lectur ing. This - little pleasantry led to a bloody "fracas in the audience, which resulted in the shooting of an ex-slieriff and tho mortal wounding of another man. Telegraphic Suiniiiary. I Chicago, May 12.
