HUMOROUS.
The Advantage of Security.
Some weeks ago I strolled into a
friend's counting room. He being ab-?
sent; I commenced a cliat with his clerk,
when a good looking "cullud pussun"
- t>*ered, doffed his castor, and said :
"Mass' Bob, kin you lend me a qtinr^ter
till dis afternoon, and I pay him,
. sartin ?"
Mass' .Bob applied his dexter to his vest
pocket, but made no ''sign." I turned.
"Well, Buck, you look tolerably honest,
but as I don't know you, if you will
give inc security 1 will lend you the quarter-"
.
liis eyes heightened as he asked :
"Mass' Bob will go my security ?"
"Yes," replied Bob.
I forked over. Some time afterwards,
Ending the same way, as I was about to
enter the office, the identified buck stood
before me.
"Rur-k. where's my quarter? Yon
didn't pay me as yon promised ?
. "No, sali, but I gib yon security."
"Well, but I waut you to pay me, I
lent you the quarter."
"Dat's true, sah, but it am de clistom
down here to zaust de security fust.
The Man who wont pay
the Printer.
May ho never bo permitted to kiss a
pretty woman.
May lie have sore eyes, and a chestnut
burr for an eve-stone.
May his boots leak, his gun hang
fire, and his fishing line break.
May one thousand night-mares trot
quarter races over his stomach every
night.
May his coffee be sweetened with
flies, .and his sauce seasoned with spiders.
May he be 6hod with lightning, and
romnelled to wander over gunpowder.
May lie be bored to death with boarding
school 'misses practicing the first
lessons in music, without the privilege
of seeing his tormentors.
"John," said ft grocer to bis clerk,
"did you say that three dollars of that
currency was counterfeit ?"
"Yes, sir; and if you'll come to.the
drawer I will show you which are genu*
inc and which are not."
"It is no matter, John ; I don't want
to know ; let them remain mixed up with
the others; and, John I think that milk
will bear an extra gallon of water, tbis
morning; and the whiskey, too, JoIid, is
too high proof, still."
"But, sir, 1 reduced it yestgrday, as
you ordered."
"Never mind ; it will bear one more
gallon to the barrel; and, John, ^ little
more sat.d in that brown sugar will not
he noticed; and, John, mix more of that
pea and bean coffee with the old govern-,
ment Java. 1 approve of otir people
using home products."
John was somewhat amazed, but he
couldn't afford to lose the situation.
There is a girl in Troy whose lips arc
so sweot that they stick together every
morning by the honey they distill, and
she cannot open her mouth until she has
parted her lips with a silver knife. She
will be a treasure to her husband, not
only on account of her sweetness, hut because
she can occasionally keep# her
. mouth shut.

The President and Gen*
Butler.
At? interview on the FREEDMEn's buREAU
bill.
The Washington correspondent of the
New Orleans Crescent communicates to
it the following account of an interview
between the President and General B. F.
Bntlcr:
The interview was lengthy, extending
over one hour and a half, during which
time the notorious Benjamin employed
all the arts of which he is capable to impress
the Executive mind. Ido not pretend
to report the conversatioo verbatim,
but preseut the substance of it, and in
some parts the exact words employed.
I have also good reason to know that the
Crescent is the only journal which has
received accounts of this important interview.
I may promise that Butler has
bcco lor sonny r me rrcquenung tne juaci"
ical haunts, and, although holding no
official position, is recognized as an effi
cient wire-puller. The President was
not astonished, therefore, when a card
was brought in, requesting a few minutes'
tete-a-tete) but having been wearied
by repeated interviews on this same subject?the
signing of the Freedmen's B.ureau
Bill?Mr. Johnson had become exhausted
and pctulont, and said in his expressive
manner, "when did he coihg ?
Well, let him come in." After being
seated face to face with the President,
the "hero of New Orleans" laid out his
case in full, urging the approval of the
bill, and s-ggesting its adoption as the
basis of a compromise between the Capis
tol and the White House,
The President, with his usual imperturbable
manner, listened to the entire
rigmarole of the politician, and theu answered
him with the words of the statesman
; words that yvere doubtless immediately
reported fo his Radical friends in
waiting: "Gen. Butler, you are very
well versed in all the astute theories now
urged in the Capitol, but let us leave this
flim-flam and come down to plain common
sense. We fought this "battle for
the Union ; our entire course during the
warjwas an endeavor to restore the States
to their constitutional positions; we tried
to do so in Georgia, and I ask yon
wonld yon not have received Georgia
during the war as a State of this Union
bad she sent a representative to uongross
? Wherever 1 found a green spot of
loyalty in Tennessee I tried to sustain it,
and eudeavored to obtain a representation
for it. If they were States then, why
arc they not States now '{ You have appointed
judges over them, you collect
taxes in thcin, and you refuse tlicm representation.
Why, they have not even a
delegate like the Territories. Their
voice?the vote of eleven millions of people?cannot
be heard in the National
Capitol. This is hard and unjust. Are
you afraid of a few Southern members?
"Why not admit those who can
take the oath and send the rest home to
have their places filled by other men ?
You think to soothe mc by admitting
the Tennessee delegation, because 1
happen to belong to that State, but the
rights of every State of this Union are
equally dear to me. Your party talks
very much of supporting my policy, but
when it comes to voting, you follow a
different course. You talk of my kingly
conduct, "ot losing my head this is almost
equivalent to inciting people to assassinate
ine. If you proceed in this
maimer, a revolution will not be far dis-1
taut. Iu the name of God. when is this
to 6t.op ? This bill secures them?the Tie*
groes?all they ought to have, and a litr
tic more, too. I do not say whether I
will sign the bill or uot." After Andy
has once expressed his opinion, he has a
peculiar manner of shuttting himself off
from the further conversation of the
speaker, aud this mauner he adopted on
! the prescut occasion During the interview
he had continually used the word
General with a slightly satirical tone."
Twelve Rebellions in the
United States.
Since the organization of the federal
government twelve attempts have been
made to resist its authority. The first
was in 1782?a conspiracy of some of
the officers of the federal army to consolidate
the thirteen States into one, and
confer supreme power upon Washington;
the second, in 1787, called Shay's Insurrection,
in Massachusetts; the third in
1794, cal.ed the Whiskey Insurrection of
Pennsylvania; the fourth in 1814,by
the Hartford Convention; tin- fifth in
1820, on the question of the admission
of Missouri into the Union; the sixth
was a collision between the legislature of
Georgia and the federal government, in
regard to the lands given to the Creek
Indians; the seventh was in 1830, with
the Chcrokccs in Georgia; the eighth
was the mcniorablc nullification ordi
nances of South Carolina, in 1832 ; the
ninth was in 1842, in llhode Island, between
the suffrage association and Stale
authorities; the tenth was in 1856, on
the Dart of the Mormons, who resisted
tlio federal government; tbe eleventh
John Brown's raid ; the twelfth, secession
in 18G1.
New Cotton Pickino Machine.?
The Boston Commercial says that at the
meeting of the Institute of Technology
held in thAt city on Tuesday evening of
last week, an ingonious and useful machine
for picking cotton was exhibited.
It is worked by horse-power, and with it
one man does the work of twenty-five
hands.
