iikrson Ju?e?^cnter. I'M Take What Father Takes.. ?"".What -will you take to drink ?" asked - the waiter of a young' lad, who for the .iirst timo accompanied his lather to a pub? lic dinner. Uncertain what to say, and feeling sure that ho wo'uicl not be wrong if he followed his father's example* he re? plied", "Til take what father takes.'' The answer reached his father's ear, and, instantly the responsibility .of his po? sition flashed upon hihi. If ho said, "I'll tak? ale,"' as he had a 1 ways said before, ?his son would take it also, and'then ! And the father shuddered-as tho history ot several young men, who, once promising .\as his own.bright lad,- had bcen.ruined by ^Stronii drink, started up in solemn-warn? ing before him."

The special correspondent of the Bal more Gazette gives the following sleet' of/tha exhibition in Washington, durii tho opening of gladiatorial exercises "Washington,. April 23, 1868. The Managers of the Impeachment ai the counsel for the President aro no fairly measuring swords, and tl?c gladi tonal exhibition is becoming one of i tense interest. Boutwell closed hisspeet on the part of the prosecution to-day, ar was immediately surrounded by a nur ber of Radical friends who ; warmly co gratulated him upon his effort. Some them were so enthusiastic in their adir ration that they patted bira on his bac and head, and one Massachusetts men ber drew his cambric handkerchief fro his pocket and wiped the orator's bro\ Boutwell has enjoyed in Congress tl reputation of a scholar as well as a la; jet, and his many fearful departures froi good taste are being excused by h friends on the ground that "he feels stron; ly?JiOii has aliowed bis feelings to coatn his taste and judgment." The use of tl. word "criminal'' by Mr. Boutwell, as a] plied to a man under trial, astonished h friends very much. Mr. Bingham's pc expression has been "accused criminal, but Mr. Bingham has no reputation as scholar, and what might be excusable i one of his stamp would be wholly inc: cusable iii tho composition of any on pretending to be a finished writer. Bu it is a fact that much was stricken froi Mr. Boutwcll's speech, even alter it ha appeared in a printed form. For instance he made a reference to the counsel en pIo}'ed by the President to secure a legt decision on the constitutionality of th 'Civil-Offiee-Tenure Bill, and drew an ur favorable inference because of their liai ing been employed in the defence of Mr; S urra lt. It is believed that this pan graph crept into the speech through th management of Bingham, who prosecute her, and who, according to the testimotr of his colleague Butler, caused the han? ing of an innocent woman. It was wc for the reputation of Mr. Boutwell tha this was strichen out, and it would hav ?been equally as well if his scurrilous vu garity in denouncing Andrew Johnso lor everything which was vile, could Im? b?cil pruned down. Thfti* speech at bes was a weak one. A Massachusetts mem ber paid it a doubtful compliment l>3r say ing it was thc best speech Boutwell liai ever made. Thc portion of tho speed delivered to-day. occupying nearly twi hours, was a great bore in view of th fact that, in his anxiety to get before tli country he had given Iiis speech to th Radical press in advance, and thc after noon papers of yesterday bad publishct the conclusion in advance of its delivery Mr. Boutwell, therefore, appeared in tin altitud? sim ply ol' a reader, and one tin Senato seemed very lillie disposed to heat as the matter was not new. A recess was taken when Mr. Bout we! had concluded, during which the Senat? was the scene of much disorder and lom talking. The most-interesting group no ticed on th? floor during the time wa. one in which General Sickles was tlx centre figure. Thc Hon. Thomas Ewin? was also on the floor of the Senate ant heard the very uncrraiplinicntary a 11u sions made to himself by Manager Bout well. Boutwell's slanderous abuse o G?nerai Tilomas was a gross outrage upcr the common decencies of lile. Alter the recess thc Hon.. Thomas A R. Kelson made a speech in regular Ten nessee style, that went straight to thc heart. His reply to the personal abuse heaped upon the President, b\' -the maria gors had that ring about it which indica ted the fact that warm personal friend? ship prompted, while truth justified every word he" uttered. Mr. Nelson was de fending, not tho President, but a valued lriend from the slanderous imputations cast upon him by reckless and desperat: assailants. Of course he spoke warmly enthusiastically, and by this gaye offence, it is said, to Radica] .-ars. But no one can deny that Mr. Nelson's effort'thus far has been one of'great pow ?ir and to thc point. Ile first told who Andrew Johnson was, to show that bc was not thc usurper, traitor, robber, mur? derer, fiend, which Mr. Boutwell had rep? resented, ile scorned the idea that thc ; Senate was not a fair, impartial tribunal, and begged them to vietf Andrew John? son's acts from a proper standpoint?sug? gesting tho morning after the battle ol Bull Run, when with blanched laces Sen? ators assembled in their Chamber?it was then Andrew Johnson had offered the fa? mous resolution around which the}* all rallied in defence'ol the Constitution and thc Union, declaring the war was not for conquest or aggression upon the rights of the States. This resolution was passed without a dissenting voice, and still stands upon the Statute Books, and Andrew Johnson is now impeached before the same bod)- for believing thc States have any rights. The Radicals made a great effort to break the force of Mr. Nelson's home thrusts, and eventually many of them left thc Senate Chamber. Vet there sat the ten doubtful Republicans listening attentively to every word which loll from the speaker's lips. There sal Anthony, Eesscnden, Fowler, Grimes; Ross. Sher? man. Sprngac. Trumbull, Van Winkle and Willey?hearing ami weighing the argu? ment offered in delenco of tho President. The fluttering created in thc Radical camp is but an evidence of the force of Mr. Nelson's speech, and their attempts at disrespect by withdrawing from thc Chamber show how men may bo lashed by their consciences. - o ? Brown, on his first journey per coach, not long ago, worried the driver, beside whom he sat, with incessant childish ques? tions about everything on thc road. At last he gol his quietus thus: i Driver?"There's been a woman lying in that bouse more than a mouth, and they i haven't buried her yet." Brown?"Not buried her yet! pray tell me why not ?" ?Driver?"Because she isn't dead." ? During the war a regiment of Arkan? sas men was marching one day knee deep : in mud, a part of them dragging a heavy cannon.

A New Advertiser. We copy the following from the Mobile Tribune : . ' Wc return thanks to Gen. O. L. Shep? herd for a copy of his orders on the QC1 ucks. and one of Gen.

Ile went to West Point with a bull-dog alter bira, and is eminently adapted to the new business upon which lie has embarked?that of breaking up QCluck's nests, strangling ghosts and putting departed spirits in irons. As we have already given friend Shep? herd's advertisement one insertion, and have not been able to collect a cent in payment for the same, we refrain out of motives of delicacy?and business?for reinserting the whole of it. But the second section of the order is such a gem in its way?not that we wish to speak disparagingly of the first section ?that wc cannot deny ourselves the pleasure of reproducing that. II.

To think that ig? norance of tho existence of all placards (play cards ?) and newspaper cards of thc "Ku Klux Klan" is prohibited, and will not be heid as an adequate excuse! Why not ? Who asks such a question ? Why, because it is the business of the civil and military officers to know what appertains to their duties. Alas, ho iv few attend to their business ! So ali of us who arc ignorant of placards, other cards, etc., are prohibited and hav? en't any excuse, adequato or other sort. That includes all babies in Mobile and elsewhere.

It is estimated, from its very prolific qualities, to yield IOU bushels per acre, and weighs, by scaled measure, 05 pounds to the bushel. This corn was produced by some procured direct from Mr. Jones, our consular agent, directly on his return from Egypt. Il needs no different culture from that of other ?varieties, and in the South two crops eau bc raised in one season on thc same ground. It grows in the form of a tree, and thirty-four ears have grown upon one stock, and will average from five tn fifteen. For domestic use it is unparalleled. When ground and properly bolted, it is equal in color and liuencss to wheaten flour. As a forage crop, by sowing in drills, or broadcast, for early feed, lhere is no kind of corn so well adapted io milch cows, and none that will yield half ihe value in stalk or corn. It can be successfully grown in any Stale. I gire the most satisfactory references thal the corn is. in every respect.,-what I represent it.to be; and, further, 1 am thc only person throughout the country who has ibis variety of corn.
