A sonntnr frnm DftlnvMire once aroused the ire of Mr. Randolph during the impeachment of Jus- tice"Chase, of the supreme court (a Marvlander from the eastern shore), when he declared "that a rm Hnlaw-prA fmfl lik profoundest sympathy. Onerous and vexatious must be the trusts reposed, and representing in part a state of no mean dimensions three counties when the tide runs down, and onlv two when the tide runs up." Mr. Randolph presided over a m.ntmr liolrl ut. Hlinrlntrfi fnnrt- house in 1832, which sympathized with the nullification of South Carolina. He spoke of President Andrew Jackson as "Andrew Jackson, Esq." "W. C. Brownlow, a noted Whig politician, Methodist divine,editor, controversialist, unionist, governor and senator from Tennessee, in 1S55 was visiting his friend, Merc- dith P. Gentry, celebrated as an orator and leader of the Whig party, who had just been defeated for governor by Andrew Johnson, and before retiring asked his friend to read a chapter and offer prayer. When Parson Brownlow came to pray for all those in au- thoritv, both state and federal, Gentry sprang from his knees and shouted, "Stop Brownlow; stop, for God's sake! If your prayer is answered it will exhaust the plan of salvation." TicT Win-full, nf Tams. in - v - ")"" J " I a debate with Henrv Wilson on the slavery question in'lSGO, said: "The senator from Massachusetts represeats a sentiment and a peo- i 4uJ. a u fl, I piC lllal DU1U tuc UCglU LU mo OUUUI I for money, and now want to steal him back for the love of God." The writer early in 1SG2 met a well known Kentuckian, who had refugeed south Colonel Gabe Salter, from near Richmond, of that state. .He seemed much troubled, and said he had bad news rmm linmA. W. tlu T.omslntnrA had divorced him from his wife because he had gone south, and Ai.. xi..fe- i tllHL lud autuxa uau uccu i-u ins house and n-ot possession of a book in which he kept an entry of the hirth. nedifrree and names of his u tt i 1 4. i r .i, colts. He thought the loss of that n.,iA r;n l,;m Whon asted what was in that dook mat could injure him, he said he had named four colts foaled in the spring o I860, to wit: John C. Calhoun. Nullification, Secession and Disunion, and he did not be- lieve he would be foreriven for that. He wasn't troubled about the divorce business. Volumes could be written of the terse and pointed sayings of Abra- ham Lincoln. When told that Colonel John S. JSosby had cap- tured four hundred artillery horses he said he "was sorry to hear it; that he wished it had been four hundred brigadiers, for he could make a brigadier in four minutes, and it took four years to make a good artillery horse." It is a question who is the au- thor of that celebrated dispatch of May, 1864, Grant or Ingalls, "I will fight it out on this line if it takes all the summer." General Ingalls sent it. Who is the au- tnorr Aimougn not uoautuuuy and artistically expressed it has become as much a classic war term as "Bottled up at LJermuda Hun- dred." Grant fought the war like a soldier, leaving no chimneys be- scribes the way in which the seek hind him, but fighting men with ers after buried forests operate: if uns in their hands. Greeley de- manded the blood of Mosby after the war, and Andrew Johnson the blood ot General Lee. Grant said, "I will protect them." Thomas Ewing of Ohio, a man learned in the law, Cabinet officer and senator, when asked his opin- ion of John Sherman, a noted fi- nancier and politician, said he "would not trust him with a barn full of grindstones." When an Illinois lawyer was askedif William R. Morrison was a hwryer.he said, "Yes; and he could see a email point in a case as quick as any man in America.55 And when Senator Beck was asked if he did not think Hon. Eli Saulsbury would make a good Drosident. he said: "A most ex- cellent one, for he would never allow a dollar to be paid out of the treasury, and he would hansc every fellow who tried it. J. "V. Xesmith of this state said on the floor of tho house, that the Attorney General, G. H. "Williams. reminded him of a mule he "had no pride of anriwir or hope of posterity. In the summer of 38G2 Mr. Stanton said rather curtly to Gen. Scott that he had carried an in vading army from Vera Cruz fb thfi CitV of Mexico. WllV could he not suggest a plan of campaign by which the army ol the Union could reach the rebel capitol at Richmond? Gen. Scott said: "Mr. Secretary, those who carried me to the City of Mexico will op pose and are opposing any entrance from this quarter into Lichmonri The celebrated Thaddeus Stev- ens, the same who had a great brain and a monster club-foot, was in the habit, until he got too feeble, of taking his dinner at a faro-bank, where he said he could always get something palatable to eat, and always made it a rule to bet five or ten dollars. If he lost all right; he simply played for amusement and recreation prominent member of his own party, meeting him early one morning in the rotunda of the Capitol, said: " hen were you at the faro bank?5 "Last night,"'' resnonded "old Thad." "What I luck?'' said his friend good luck. I started On five, and drew out 215. Here it is, separ- ate from my other money." Just q this conversation ended, a ' Methodist preacher from Pennsyl vania rushed up to Mr. Mevens, and in a very excited manner told him he had been looking for him everywhere; that he needed a few hundred dollars to finish a church in one of the counties of his dis- trice, and if the church was com nleted the souls of many sinners would be saved. At mis appeal he handed the minister the SSlOj he had won the nirnt beiore, ana a then turning to his friend he re peated the sacred couplet, of Dr. atts: God moves in a mysterious way His v wnminrs to wrform. Ho ulanLsliis footsteps on the ea, ami I 1 Ul'IMl Lilt; Spearing for Timber. A new industry has recently been developed in Ireland a sort of timber nrosnectinir never dreamed of by our American tim ber hunters. It is a well-known geological fact, says the Xorth western if;imHv, that immense tracts, what are now the bog lands, in Ireland, were once covered with forests of oak and pine and that in cutting, peat immense trees of these varieties arcibund imbedded jn the earth at depths of ten, twenty and thirty feet, in ma- ny cases whole groves being found standing just as the' grew. To find 0ut the location of these miniature subterranean forests is now the speculative work in which some industrious Irishmen are engaged. The timber, when brought to the surface, is found to be perfectly sound and the oak, which is as black as ebony, is used extensively for ornaments ot lewelrv, as well as fancy cabinet-work, and seUs at high prices. A recent vis itorto the wild moor-and-moun- tain regions of Donegal thus de Two men armed with steel rods about thirty feet long, traverse the bog, and, by running their rods into the ground, are able to ascertain where the trees are to be found. They work by what may be termed natural mathematics and quickly determine the length of their prize, its approximate fi lameter, whether it is pine or oak, and is or is nor a clumper one of a company or clump. They fix on twenty or thirty feet square and cross it with their searchers, say north and south, and then east and "west, search it across each way, a stab to each foot or so, and in the course of a few minutes they know whether that area contains wbtt are looking for. 1 he square lying next and next and all lying1 near each other are so searched, and the discoveries, if any, marked for future action. The unproductive are also marked, to avoid future loss of labor. In lSi2 occurs the anniversary of a notable event, the discovery of America by Christopher Co lumbus four centuries ago. From the present indications both in Europe and in this country the event will be celebrated both ap propriate' and magnificently. The king of Spain, who believes that his own country should take the lead in the festivities, proposes that all towns connected with the life of Christopher Columbus should be the chief seats of cele bration. Another view is to sum mon not towns but countries to join in making the festival the most brilliant ever held in the" his-' torv of the world. Then the sreat nations, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, England and the United States, would be united in giving honor to the great dis coverer, who, if .he was not the first to set foot upon this conti nent, was, at least the first to make known the new to the old world and to open a land for other dis coverers. There are near!' ten years iiefore the anniversary takes place time enough for "extensive nrenarations. The proposal to i i unite the nations of the world in the celebration is most noble and worthy, but. the United States should see that her part is per formed with the enthusiasm due tlie occasion.
