L Retell, lte 10 II12 13 U and 111 1 immfh/ ; "He's a Brlek." if U ls slung. it is really classical slung. And yet, of the thousands who use the term, how few--how very few--know its origin or Its primitive signilleanue. Truly, It Is a heroic ihing to say of a man to call him a brick. The word, so used, if not twist ed from Its original Intent, implies all that is brave, patriotic, and loyal. Plutarch, in his life of Agesilaus. King of Spartu, gives us the origin of Jthe quaint and familiar expression. On a certain occassion an ambassa dor from Epiruf, on a diplomatic mis- sion. was shown by the King over his capital. The ambassador knew of the monarch's fame--knew that, though 0ti)y nominally King of Sparta, he was yet ruler of Greece--and had looked to see the massive walls rearing aloft their embattled towers for the.de fense of the town; but he found noth ing of the kind. He marveled much at this, and spoke ef It to the King. "Slre.H he said, "I have visited meet of the principal town*, and I find no walls reared for defense. Why. is this?" "Indeed, Sir Ambassador,** replied Agesilaus, "thou canst, not have looked carefully. Come with me to-morrow morning, and I will show you the walls of Sparta." Accordingly, on the following morn ing, the King led his guest out upon the plains, where his aruir was drawn up in fuli battle array, and pointing proudly to the serried hosts,, he said, "There, thou beholdest the walls of Sparta--ten thousand men--and every man a brick T One of Lincoln's "little ttsrin." Tn Scrlbner'a Mcigaiine Mr. Xsah Brooks prints a number ot new anec dotes of Lincoln .elicited by his Lin coln reminiscences In former numbers. The following is one of them: MA young gentleman in Tennessee w<ts once traveling a country road, mounted on a fine black racing horse of great value. Hi« casual companion was a shrewd old fellow, who was known In those parts as a Yankee, v%tid rode a rack-o-bones of a horse, appar ently hardly able to stand on his feet.-- The Yankee bantered the Southerner for a horse trade, which of course the Southerner declined. The Yankee however, insisted that his was a very remarkable horse, of what tvas kuown as the setter breed, which sets for big game, as a dog seta for small game, and that as animals of this breed are very scarce his horse was accordingly valuable. The Yankee soon had an opportunity te demonstrate the truth of his statement, as his horse hsd the peculiarity of dropping on all-fours when touched In a certain spot by the spur or heel of the rider. The Yaukeo seeing a deer on a knoll not far away, touched his raw bones in the tender spot, and sure enough, down lie weut on all fours, assuring the southener that there was game ahead. The would-be-horse-trader told the south- ener that there must be game near by, for his horse never *set' In "that way ex cept when on the scent of game. Itn- mediately after, the deer made it« ap pearance to the southerner, who suc ceeded in bringing htm down, and so much pleased was he with the wonder ful instinct of the horse that he im mediately swapped with the Yankee, on even Terms. Soon after they came to a stream which the Yankee moun ted on the Southerners flue horse, crossed in good style; then standing on the opposite bank he looked back after his companion. The 'setter horse' had sunk, his head being hardly above water; hi.s rider was dismounted and nearly drowued. Reaching the 4 bank and blowing the water from his month, he exclaimed: 'Here, you infernal Yankee! what kind of a horse is this to drop on his knees in the mid die of a stream' 'Hush! hiishT re plied the Yankee, 'keep perfectly nuiet. That's a setter horse; he sets Ash as well as for deer, and I tell you there's game there!"' tflr'Ternsprecher" is what the tele phone is named when It reaches Ger many. This is very appropriate as it signifies "far speaker." This reminds us that the Indian name is "Taal-leaf- own" meaning uinan-who-talks-on-a- string," the ignorant Indians having no knowledge of wire-pulling and causer quently no word for wire. JjJfA little boy was asked the other day If he kuew where the wicked Anally went to. He answered: "They practice law here a spell and then go to the legislature.

We do not see anything extraordinary In the occurrence. Now, if the horse had pulled the barrel out of the bung-hole and slaked his thirst with the plug, or If the barrel had pulled the bung*hole out of the plug and sluked its thirst with the horse, or if the plug had pulled the horse out of the barrel and slaked his thirst with the bung-hole, or if the bung-hole had pulled the thirst out of the horse and slaked the plug with the barrel, or If the barrel had pulled the horse out of the bung-hole and plugged it» thirst with a slake, it might be worth while to make gome fuss over it." . -: AN ARMFUL OF WOOD.--TTIE YOD-UKE features of our nature,* the lofty, far- reaching ambition that, leads man on to attempt the impossible aud to defy the insurmountable, Is seen in his bear ing when he carries in an armful of wood, to pile up iu bis prms a load that will weigh forty pounds when he Is in the wood-house, but grows to one hundred when he readies the kitchen door, weighs two hundred when he passes through the nfiall, an even ton when he starts up stairs, and finally falls all over the house with a crash like a railroad collision when lit gets half way up stairs. ' Berghand Hydrophobia. On March 29 last there appeared tcf the Herald a letter signed "Rabies," In whleh Mr. Henry fiergh'a public declaration of his disbelief in the ex istence of hydrophobia was taken up and made the ground for a novel and striking wager. The writer of the letter, who is an eminent physician ef this city, offered to deposit f1,000 with the Iferaid, to go to Hr. Berglt's soci ety, If Mr. Bergh would allow himself to be inoculated with the saliva of a rabid dog and e&npt hydrophobia within six months after such inocula tion. It was expected by many people who knew Mr. Bergh's enthusiasm in behalf of the cauiue race and his anx iety to dispel the popular prejudice existing against It on account of this fancied existence of hydrophobia, that the offer wenld tie quickly accepted by him. Mr. Bergh, however refuses to accept. He thinks the gentleman who wishes to Inoculate him Is joking and wants to make fun of film. This is a great mistake on the part of Mr. Bergh. In fact, as our correspondent himself says, he will make the cere mony as solemn as a funeral. He Is so generous and accommodating, that he will even furnish the dog.--New York Haald. A If edloal Student's Horse Joke. It takes a medical man to that bluck Is white. In Shoreditch, England, a gentleman recently drove up to a public house and left his pony, which was a milk-white steed, lu charge of a boy, while he went Indoors for Ave minutes. When he reappeared the boy was there and the buggy was there, but tn place of the milk-white steed, was a pony as black as a beetle. The boy insisted that It was the saine pony, and could give no explanation of the change of complexion, save that a*young medical gentleman had ex amined the animal during the, own er's absence. The trtith was that the mischievous medical student had daubed the pouy from head to tail with a coating of lamp-black. The Englishman's astonishment was only equalled by the dismay of an Ameri can In a cemetery near Buffalo. After leaving his horse at a hitching-post for half an hour he had resumed his seat and attempted to make a start, when Lo! the post appeared plump under thetall, between the breechiug and hindquarters. "Bless me!" ex claimed the dased gentleman,* "did 1 hitch the horse at the wrong end V* RKSPKCTAIULITY OF AGRICULTURE.-- A clergyman ouce said to me, "Will farming ever be considered more re spectable than now ?" My answer was, "No." Farming ts highly honored, when we consider that from It flows all tho calls for artisans of every name to supply the real or imaginary wants of all mankind. Heaven, as a state, whether it relates to the present or the hereafter, consists mainly in the beautiful. Adam was to dress the garden, which meant to make it look well, and at the same tline it would be useful. How Is It to day ? A "beautl- •fnl.-garden-attracts visitors from all the ?nrronndtng country. No less does an extensive fartn, made beautiful by the diligeut hand;*by the product of the farm, in an and beast survive. All other callings are supported by It; but to the question, "Is It more respecta ble than formerly,or will It be?" I an swered, "It has always had the prece deuce fa respectability." God and good men in former time looked with pleas ure and delight upon seed time and harvest:so in this age, professional men extol the beauties of agriculture, and especially every one who is look ing for a lucrative office from the hon est yeoman, as much as to say, yonr culling is respectable.--Robert Mom- fleld. • A NEW CLOTH.--An era of cheap clothing has dawned lu Kentucky.-- The material for a suit can be purr chased for 92 and then leave a hand some profit to the producer and retailer The cloth is made from hemp. Hemp always exercised a soVt of elevating In fluence on certain classes of society aud this new hemimprovemerit, so to speak will render It doubly dear to the heart* and at the same time cheap to the backs of shivering humanity. The new cloth contains one-fourth wool, and is a soft, strong fabric. It has no element of shoddy, but is from the stoutest fibre, and will wear equal to the best imported cloths. The peculiar advan tages claimed for this cloth are, first, that it will not fade, that It tal.es and holds the dye better than any known vegetable substance, this being due to the peculiar bleaching prooess; seoond that It will wear equal to any goods known to manufacture In this country, aud third, that it is nnparalloiod in cheapness.

Loring was answered by Reed, and weil answered. I dld'nt think he could make so witty and so strong an argument. In ap pearance this gentleman is a youthful priest. Portly, sleek, smooth-faced, thin straight hair, yellowish brown in color, bald-crown aud small features- such Is picture. In speaking he ges ticulates a good deal with hands, hood and body. (Mr. Reed spoke but an hour ami gave his remaining time to Town- send, who joined him tn the negative, and spoke another hour, having an ex tension of tlinc granted him.
