Mentally, if hia opponents are fit judges, Senator Mahone, of Virginia, weighs aomething like a ton; But on the scale he tips the beam at less than an hundred pounds. In appearance he is as lean and 4hin as a greyhound; and it is doubtful if his avoirdupois in gross could be made to yield adipose sufficient to lubricate the wing of a humming bird. The following pretty good story of his exceeding leanness is told of him : During the late war, while in command of a division of 'Confederates, he, like many pthers, had the misfortune to be wounded; but, as it happened on that occasion, not seriously. An acquaint ance, about to visit Richmond, was re quested to call upon the General’a wife for the puyxjse of relieving any anxiety she might feel on account of her absent lord by explaining the nature and extent of his injury. Col. called at the lady's resilience, and, as report goes, found her in tears, she haring already received the news of her husltaud's wounding by telegraph. The officer at tempted to reassure her by the statement that tha General would be on duty again in a few days, but without avail. “Why, madam,” he expostulated, “you ought not to give younelf so much CoBcara; he received only a fltah wound ; no home are broken." “ Ah, Colonel,” aho sobbed, “ you— don't know th’—the General as well ss I —I do, or you would not tell m—me he could be—be wounded without strik— •inking a bona !

And very handy he found them at such tunqs, for hs could skats s dozen miles as easy ss hs could walk two, and the pack on hk back never seemed so light ss when be had hk steel shoes on, and could skim along the glaasy surface of the lake or river. One very cold, dear day, when the ice was good, he weht to vkit some mink traps almost twenty miles north of hk cabin. He skated to near the spot, along the shore of the lake, and then took off hk akatee and put on hk snow- shoes to travel over the deep snpw y . a mile or two into the woods. He knew that an Indian tribe from Canada had come down to make war on those who lived near him, but never thought they would trouble him. All at once hk good dog Bruno, that had been running ahead on a deer-track, stopped, sniffed the air, bristled .np an grily and began to growl; and before Thomas could carry hk rifle to his shoulder he was surrounded by a dozen howling Indians, who- sprung from their hiding-place in the thicket brau- dkhing their tomahawks and yelling like mad. , The old man was brave, but he wasn’t a fool; and, instead of showing fight against such odds, he laid down hk rifle and folded hk arms. He could talk but little Indkn, and they could speak even less Englkh ; but by signs atfd motions he made out to let thorn know that he wnsu’t on the war-path, but after furs. The Indians threatened no harm when they found him peaceful, but were much interested in hk arms and dress, for they hadn't at that time seen many white men.

BOMB HA Hi) WIKTKBB. The winter of 1842-8 has passed into the records of Northern Illinois as “ the hard winter,” The early qpttlers of the northern part of the State remember its early snow-fall, commencing Nov. 7 and continuing on the 10th; the pinching cold pf the long winter, the scarcity of food for stock, and the loss of many oat- CAMLTLK.

At that time the country was new, the nettlemeuis were sparse, and it was often miles across the dreary stretch of snowy prairies between settlements. The houses of the settlers were many of them poor and open, without a brush, tree or nbrub to protect them from the driving winds and penetrating snows. Hence that whiter has paaeed into history, and k now referred to aa " the hard winter." During that winter the snow averaged thirty inches deep. It fell before the ground froze np, and lay in such a body that the ground did not freeze at all ex cept in occasional place*. During the snowfall it pjled into great drifts, so that it was even with the tops of the rail fences. It then soon froze so hard that it bore cattle, horses and men on its sur face. During that winter great slaughter whs mail# among the deer ; men hunted them with dogs, and the snow being so hard that it bore these np, while the deer would break through in trying to ran, they feel an easy prey, and ware slaught ered without sense at mercy.

While Leigh Hunt was strolling one morning in th* private grounds of Hdlaad House, he was met by Lord John Russell, then one of Queen Victoria’s Ministers. In the course of conversation th* Minister said that the Queen had been pleased to grant Carlyle a pension of £200 % year, adding, “As you, Mr. Hunt, are a near neighbor of hk, it will, perhaps, be an agreeable task to be the first to announce the compliment to him." Leigh Hunt wan soon at Chevne Row. Mrs. Carlyle was so delighted with the good news that she threw her arms around the mesaeo- K**’s neck, and gave him a good, hearty "Bcotch smack." as they eall a kiss in the loind of Cakes.

It was enough for him, says an old eye-witness, to walk ou and off and about the stage, coming in with hk part at the proper cues, and singing at hk best. But thk would not satisfy Maiibran. At th* first rehearsal she bore Templeton’s imperturbability of manner with some degree of patience, thinking she could rouse “the man," as she called him, into something like en thusiasm by her own example. But when, at the next and succeeding re hearsal, she found him “ no better than a stick,” she suddenly seized him by the arm and hissed into hk ear : “Good heavens ! sir, don’t you know you are my lover ?
