Something Now.
Who shall find a good anecdote.V For its
price is greater than rubies. And yet the
Table-Talker has one which has not been
published. One of the foremost lawyers in
Canada is the famous Queen‘s Counsel
O’Reilly, of Kingston, who secured such a
reputation by his successful and highly dra—
matic management of the prosecution of
Whelau for the murder of the Hon. Thomas
D‘Arcy McGee. Tall, handsome, florid,
portly, jolly of eye and mellow of voice, he
recalls irresistibly the Irish counselor of fifty
years ago, alike prepared for the bottle or
thebar, ready with a joke, a challenge, or
a demurrer. Well, Mr. O’Reilly was once
engaged for the plaintlfi‘ in a suit where if
was sought. to recover $2,000, alleged to be
due by defendant, who denied the existence
of any liability whatever. It was on a coun-
try circuit. The jurors were of the agricul-
tural persuasion. For two mortal days the
counsel on both sides pelted them with an-
thorities, references, objections, cross-ex-
aminations, rcbutting evidence, testimony in
suoiebutul—heavcn and the chief justice
only knows what—till the honest farmers
were reduced to a comatose condition. All
this time O‘Reilly had sat. aloof, and when
he arose, a mournful sigh bmkc from the
twelve jurors, sure that he, too, would bring
down upon mourn perfect Ivallnche of nu—

An DREW J new ’3 WIPE. ——General J ack-
son was elected Presidmt' m the fall of 1828.
His domestic life had been scanned and
scourged, and his beloved and honored wife
had been most malignantlv reviled and for-
tured, by the forked tongues of his political
opponents. She was happy in his love, and
never aspirizd to the splendor of his fortune
in life. She had fled to his manhood for
protection and peace, and had been sheltered
and saved by his gallant. championship of
the cause of woman. He, and he alone, was
her all, and of him may be trulysaid that, in
respect to “ wassail, wine and women," he
was one of the purest men of his day, and
that, too, in an age of rude habits and vulgar
dissipation among rough settlers of the west.
He was temperate in drink, abslemious in
diet, simple in basic, polished in manners,
except when aroused, and always preferred
the society of ladies, with the most romantic,
pure, and poetic devotion. He was never
accused of indulging in any of the grosser
vices, except that in early life he swore,
horse-raced. and attended cock-fights. As
for the wife of his bosom, she was a woman
of spotless character, and an unassuming,
consistent Christian; yet political mncor bit‘
terly uncalled her, and not content with de—
famation endeavored to belittle her by the
contemptuous appellation of “ Aunt Rachel,”
and held licr up to ridicule for “smoking a
com-cob pipe.“ She did prefer that form,
not {or the pleasure of smoking, butbecause
a pipe was prescribed by her physician, for
her phthisis, and she often rose in the night
to smoke for her relief. In a night of De-
cember, 1828. she rose to smoke, and caught
cold while sitting in her night-clothes; and
the story is that her system had been shock-
ed by her overbearing reproaclics of herself
while waiting in :1 parlor at the Nashville
inn. She had said to a friend, upon the
election of her husband : “ Fol Mr, Jackson‘s
sake, I am glad ; for my own part, I never
wished it. I assure you that I had rather
be a door keeper in the house of my God
than to live in that palace in W'ashingmn."
She was not allowed to live “in thin palace
in Washington.“ Before the day of her
husband‘s inauguration at the \l'hite IIouse
she was taken by her God to that “ house
not made with hands, ctcrnnl in the hou-
vgus."

An Eminent l-kpert.
Of late yours, a new and curious profes-
sion has come into voguc \‘l'c allude to
that of “ experts" in handwriting. Those
gcntlcmcn‘s service have for some time been
repeatedly called in request in England, cs-
pccinlly in disputed will cases, but they sel-
dom made much impression either on judge
or jury until there arose a master in the craft,
Mr. Clmbot. It was through a case which
occurred a few years since in the London
probate court, that this gentleman was
brought into the first rank of his very limit-
ed profession, of w hicb a Mr. Nethcrclift
had up to that time been chief. The ground
of dispute was in relation to the will of a
wealthy old yeomau One side claimed that
the will was genuine, the other that it was a
forgery. When the turn came for Mr. Chu—
bot's evidence to be given, the counsel for
the will gave a contemptuous smile as the ex-
pert ascended the box, and my lord leaned
back in his chair in a manner which indi-
cated “ I know how much this sort of testi-
mony is worth." By degrees, however, mut‘
Lei-s underwent a change. Counsel against
the will became particularly assured in his
bearing. Counsel for the will fidgetcd in
his seat, audfivhnt was more important, my
Lord aroused himself and began to take
notes. When Mr. Chabot descended from
the witness box be had broken the will. The
judge, in summing up, said that he must con-
fess that previous experience had not dispos-
ed him to place much reliance on testimony
of this description, but the present case was
an exception. Mr. Chabot‘ s evidence was
certainly most. remarkable. The point to
which this accomplished gentleman drew
special attention was the fact. that he had ex-
amined page after page of writing which
was admitted by either side to be that. of the
deceased, and in no case had be found the
vowel “ 0" connected with the other letters
of the word in which it occurred; whereas,
in the document. alleged to be forged, “ O”
sometimes stood alone, sometimes was joined
on the neighboring letter.
Mr. Chabot's services are now in constant
demand, and he ought to be making a very
large income. The Tichborne case must
alone have put. a great many pounds in his
pocket. Quite recently he has been employ-
ed in two notable suits One of these—
“ Firebrace vs Firebrace and otbcm"—is a
divorce case A maid servant, as often hap-
pens in such suits is a prominent witness.
She, it appears, kept a diary, in which she
recorded suspicious circumstances in her
mistress’ conduct. The diary the mistress
got hold of, and, the servant alleges, interpo-
lated passages which reflect sadly on the
morality of the servant herself, and are thus
calculated to weaken the effect of her evi-
dence against Mrs. Firebrace. Mr. Chabo:
is of the opinion that the alleged interpola-
tions are not in the handwriting of the ser-
vant. '
The other case was one of libel, in which
a lady named Dilks was plaintifi‘, and a Mr.
Shepherd defendant. In January, 1866, a
Mr. Bi'rket, to whose son the plaintiff was
engaged, received a lettu- imputing to her
improper conduct. 0:! the 14th of Febru-

A COLORED Ma‘s {Inns—Prof. J. M.
Langston writes a letter to a Washington
paper on education at the South. A North
Carolina friend of his has lately written to
him urging the necessity of government ac-
tion. The States would not permanently
keep up the colored schools; thé colored poo
ple tbemsclvw could not,on account of their
poverty; thousands of educated colored
youths were needed to “carry the gospel to
Africa ;" the only way for it was for the
government to run the schools. and foot
the bills. Prof. Langston disseuts from his
correspondent on several important points
He thinks it considerably more important to
“grow a score or two of active, conscientious,
well educated, learned negro workers for the
professional and other literary and scientific
fields of labors in our own country," than to
‘evangelize the benighted Africans. And he
is emphatically opposed to any plan looking
to the establishment of a national system of
colored schools. He wants a good efficient
common school system, in which there '3 no
question of white children or colored chil-
dren. Such a system is not to be found, to-
day, in any Southern State. The white
children are suffering for it almost as badly
as the black. To provide two school-houses
with two sets of tcucbcrs where but one is
needed, would he to needlessly incura doub-
lc expense. That is not good economy. But
its costliness is not the only objection to this
plan. Professor Langston places great im-
I.portzmcc on the co-cducation of the two
classes of childrcn. This, llC says, will do
stroy foolish and “il'kCLl prejudices; culli-
vatc common topics' of thought and conver-
sation; stimulate the colored children to
study, todisuse the plantation patois and
speak good English, and to improve them-
selves in every way; and will familiarize
the while childrcn to daily contact with the
colored on equal terms. In this simple poli-
cy of free schools for the South. freely open
to all the South’s little girls and boys, Prof.
Langston finds the solution of that “ race
question" which is giving the politicians
and social scientists so much uneasiness.
Bring up the children together, he says in
substance, and the men- of the next genera-
tion will not quarrel with one another on ac-
count of their complexions.

A OLA: roxnURv ASECDOTP. —Spcaking of
temperance reformers, some one tells a
juicy story at the expense of one of the most
al'liLlll of them, a person whose whole heart
was in the work to such an extent that he
hadn‘t time to mend his fences or rifle care
of his farm. A distinguished temperance
lecturcr was to address the citizens in the
town where the reformer lived, and the lat-
tcr took it upon himself to meet him at the
station, and take him home with him and
entertain him. The lecturer was talkative
and full of the “ cause." “ There, now,”
said he, as they drove by a handsome farm
house, “ anybody can see at once that stem—
penance man lives there. Everything indi-
cates it; there‘s thrift and industry and con-
tentment and no doubt a happy home there.
Isn’t it so ?"
“ Yes," was the reply, “Squire is n
temperance man, and has a very pleasant
home and family."
“ I was certain of it," said the lecturer.
“ But here is a place," he continued, as they
came to an old house with dilapidated fence
and neglected appeamnce—“ that you‘d pick
out anywhere as the house of a drunkard.

pulled rein and turning the team up to the
neglected fence, remarked with something
like a sigh, “ I live here." 0

tablishing a permanence on the plains, and
consequently the supplies of fuel and food
proved to be somewhat inadequate, yet there
was little actual suffering, except nervous
and mental. The passengers formed a hete-
rogeneous crowd, and amused themselves
‘in various interesting ways. At first, the
chief pastimes were card-phying, swearing
and pulling at pocket flasks. Then foraging
parties were organized, and elk and antelope
