Oliver Hampton Smith w as eiected senator from Indiana 1n1836. . hen the election was over, Smith, who was a good lawyer and had been in Congress eight or ten years before, 1 took a drove of hogs down to Cincinnati, going on foot all the way. On the way he arj rived at a tavern, covered with mud, unwashed and unshaven for many days. The crowd surrounded him, eager for news of the election “Who’s elected senator? Hendricks?” “No.” “Noble?” “No.” “Who then?” “I am!” There was a dead silence for a moment, and then some one asked, “Who are you?” A stump speech, with all the mud still clinging to his clot - es, was necessary to convince them of his right to the title of senator in the congress of the United States. A Texas man, who was innocent of crime, was sent to prison for 12 years. He thought himself forsaken by Providence, but as the officials aid not oblige him to cut his hair, he came out with it hanging down to his knees, and a dime-museum man gives him S4O per week for a year. How little we know what is for our own good. D. P. Baldwin, of Logansport wants a Federal office.
