SHARP SAYINGS.
A Few Notable Terse Utterances of
Eminent Men.
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."

a debate with Henrv Wilson on
the slavery question in'lSGO, said:
"The senator from Massachusetts
represeats a sentiment and a peo-

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

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

then turning to his friend he re
peated the sacred couplet, of Dr.
atts:

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.
