Sunâ€" day comes into the man‘s house on the East side, and becomes Monday by the The untutored electors of those districts could understand and appreciate a good thing. Sziephens was elected to Congress by over three thousand of a majority in a district that had never before favored one of his political stripe. "If you did that thing, sir. coou would have more brains in your stomach than you ever had in your head !" Before the muiltitude had time to laugh at the coarse, rude. remarks, Stephens reâ€" torted : «*Why,â€"you little wasp,; Iâ€"could© button those big ears of yours back and swallow you whole !" They were in the strongest part of the Democratic camp ; and here the major inâ€" dulged in bits of pleasantry which he knew would be relished by his old constituency. Solid argument could not have been of much tise there. Pet Stephens managed to gst him heated ; whereupon the gigantic major turned to his pigmy antagonist, and, with considerable of a flourish, said :â€" hope had he that he could carry that old Democratic stronghold ? Yet he battled away. And it was an odd and.entertainâ€" ing sight to see the two contestants on the stand together,â€"Stephens, five feet four inches high, weighing ninety#ix ;pounds ; Major H., six feet two inckes high, weighâ€" ing two hundred and forty pounds. On a certain occasion, while party lines were closely drawn, and political» feelings were running high, Mr. Stephens was on the stump for Congress, battling with a Mr, H., of Greensborough. ~ Stephens was a Henryâ€"Clay man and a Whig. What The following has been told in many ways.and from many quarters; but its true origin has been almost entirely lost sight of,. and therein lies most of the pith. There is no doubt but that Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, is the smallest man, physically, that ever trod the floors of Conâ€" gress. He never exceeded a hundred pounds in weight of body. His powers were all mental and magnetic; and of those, as we know, he possessed an abunâ€" dance. ses. it thus : ‘%r man is planing. ‘ p*_n the pllans towards him. I notice a blacksmith at work.

Perhaps that is an important difference between a European and an Asâ€" intic. One sits down to his work, the othâ€" er stands up to it. Why is it that we do things contrariwise to the Japanese? Are we upside down, or they? The Japanese saythat we are reversed. They call our penmanship ‘crab writing,‘ because, say they, ‘it goes baekward.‘ The lines in our books cross the page like a crawfish, inâ€" 'steld of going downward properly. In a Japanese stable we find the horse‘s flank where we look for his head. Japanese screws screw the other way. Their locks thrust to the left, ours to the right. The baby toys of the Aryan race squeak wher they are squeezed; the Turnonian gimâ€" cracks emit noise when pulled apmt.
