BAGGAGE TRAIN,

HARPER'S EDITOR'S DRAWER. The College boys the nun, rather will relish this. It was a Fresh in one of the Down-East Universities, who was out in the middle of the green one night, making that same night very hideous with a " horse rattle" which he was whirling round and round to the disturbance of the town. Intent on his mischief, he did not see the venerable President till he was close upon him, and cried, " Stop that 1" Round went the rattle, and again the President cried, " Stop that, I gay 1" But the thing would not stop. On, and still onward whirled the rattle, and when the good man cried the third time " Stop that !" the saucy Fresh looked over his shoulder and replied, " Wait till it runs . down, can't you 1" . An Inveterate stammerer one day, upon a journey stopped to dine at a hotel. On attempting to help himself to pepper at the dinner he found, after a violent 8liaking, that there was no pepper to be had. He turned round, and, beckoning to the waiter, commenced : " Wa-wa-wa-wa-waiter 1 this pep-pep-pep-p-p-p-pep-per-box is som-som-som-something like me." " Why io, Sir ?" said the waiter. " Po-po-po-po-p-p-p-poor delivery 1" That pepper-box was soon filled. ' The southern part of Illinois has long been called " Egypt," and some have supposed it was so called as being a "land of darkness" one of the benighted parts of the earth. A very intelligent correspondent of ours, who lives there, writes that the name had a very different origin ; and he is desirous that it should be given in the Drawer, and then every body will know it. He says : " This portion of the State was first settled, and afterward the northern counties. The new settlements of the north had to depend on the south for their corn until they could raise it for themselves, and hence they were in the habit of saying ' they must go down into Egypt to buy corn.' This is the real source of the name ; and as to the darkness, that is all in your eye." He denies decidedly that they keep on voting two weeks after an election is fairly over, so as to make it all come right. We presume it is a slander; and it shows the evil of having a bad name., Colonel M'Clung was the most notorious duelist of the Southwest. A correspondent sends us an anecdote of him that brings out very neatly the fact that some men know when it is safe to be brave ; and, after all, courage depends very much upon circumstances : " M'Clung had a dispute with a rowdy in the office of the Prentiss House, at Vicksburg, when, becoming exasperated, and wishing to end the affair at once, he caught the rowdy by the nape ot the neck, drew him to the door, and summarily kicked him into the street. The fellow, knowing M'Clung's savagism when roused, coolly picked himself up, and walked off without resenting the indignity. Here the matter ended. But some time afterward, Colonel M'Clung being in New Orleans, and walking up St. Charles street one day, saw the same fellow actually kicking another man out of the door of a drinking saloon. The kicked had be come a kicker. M'Clung could scarcely believe his own eyes. Walking up to him, he exclaimed : " ' Look here, my fine fellow ! are not you the man I kicked out of the Prentiss House, the other day, at Vicksburg?' " ' Softly, softly, Colonel P replied the fellow, looking archly at M'Clung ; don't mention the circnmstance. I'm the man ; but but you and I know who to kick !' " Another story of the same duelist is vouched for by the same correspondent: " Colonel M'Clung was spending part of thfe summer at Cooper's Wells, a noted watering-place in Mississippi. Being at the public dinner-table one day, the . Colonel and his-friends had, somehow or other, become more than usually excited over the generous liquor, and he was boasting of his exploits, to which they listened with unbounded admiration, and testified their pleasure by applause. On this occasion he would frequently wind up his yarns by declaring, Pm a whale, Sir I I'm a whale F Just opposite to the Colonel sat a ' plucky but very small man, the sheriff of one of the river counties, who had recently arrived, and was personally unknown to M'Clung, though the little sheriff knew the Colonel, as did almost every man in the State. It so happened that every time the excited duelist exclaimed ' I'm a whale," he fixed his eye on the sheriff, who soon determined to stand it no longer ; but, seizing a carving-knife, he jumped up into his chair, and cried out, 4 I'll have you to know, Colonel M'Clung, that if you are a whale, I'm no sardine ' This was a declaration of war, and the Colonel's friends looked to see him seize the sheriff, without waiting for legal process, and throw him out of the window. Not ' he. Deliberately setting down his glass, and throwing his arms around the fighting sherill, he expressed his admiration of his courage, and his desire to make his acquaintance. They were afterward great cronies and fast friends till the death of M'Clung. 41 It was very plain that the duelist read the sheriff, and knew at a glance he was a better man for a friend than a foe." The lively contributor of the following says there are as good fish in the sea as ever were caught, and he has been hooking a few. 44 The Rev. J. S. has achieved a high distinction, not only in our State but in yours, as a very forcible, though somewhat eccentric, preacher. He was at one time preaching in the city where he still labors, and had in his congregation a rough but kind-hearted butcher, who was a little given to dividing the sermon audibly among the congregation fearing, perhaps, that some of the hearers might not understand that the preacher meant them. On this occasion Mr. S. had undertaken to point out some of the faults ot his people in relation to the observance of the Sabbath ; and proceeded something after this fashion : 44 4 Even when you come to the House of God, my brethren, your thoughts are not on His word, or on heavenly and divine things. One of you, for instance will be thinking of your whale-ships (the town was a whaling port), and reckoning how much oil they will bring in, and how much money you will make out of it.' 44 4 That's you, Deacon W.,' interposed the butcher, in a voice audible all over the house. 44 4 Another," pursued the minister, 4 will be thinking of the houses he is building, and contriving how he can slight his work, so as to make it more profitable.' 44 4 That's you, Deacon L.,' again broke in the butcher. 44 4 Another,' continued Mr. S., 4 will be occupied with the thought of his goods, and with planning how he can sell more of them, and at a better profit.' 44 4 That's you, Brother B.,' said the butcher. ' 44 4 Another will be counting his gains from his fisheries, and wishing that he coiud catch larger quantities or sell them faster.' 44 4 That's you, Brother H.,' interrupted the butcher. 44 4 Another,' said the pastor, 4 and he the worst of all, because he breaks the Sabbath worse than the rest, will rise early on Sabbath morning, and kill a beef and dress it, so as to have it ready for market on Monday morning.' I' 44 4 And that's me P roared the butcher, and ever after held his peace." 44 Among the most eminent, and by no means the least witty, of the Congregational clergymen of the last generation in this vicinity was the Rev. Calvin Chapin, D. D. The following anecdote of him has been in print before, but I believe not in the Magazine : 44 Many years ago, before Albany was linked to Boston by iron bands, a meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions was held at Albany, and Dr. Chapin, with a number of other clergymen from this region, attended, performing the journey by stage. At the close of the meeting they returned by the same conveyance. The stage started at four o'clock in the morning, which, at that season of the year, was before daylight All the passengers in the stage but one were Congregational clergymen ; that one was a young Episcopal minister. At first starting the passengers were all silent, till, after some time, our young Episcopal friend, with somewhat more of courage than discretion, proceeded to deliver himself substantially as follows : 44 4 1 have been examining those portions of the Scriptures, lately, in which prayer is spoken of, and Lave satisfied myself that prayer is never spoken of in the Bible where the circumstances do not make it

probable yes, I may say certain that the prayer must have been read.' 44 To this somewhat startling proposition no one made any reply, but our young friend, nothing daunted, went on : 4 1 will defy any gentleman present to bring forward an instance where this is not the case.' 44 There was again a short silence, which was broken by Dr. Chapin, who said, in his blandest and most deferential tones, 44 4 1 do not mean to deny your position, Sir; but there is a question I should like to ask, if you will be so kind as to answer it.' 44 4 Oh, ask as many questions as you please I will answer them,' was the reply of the young man. 44 4 1 he question I wished to ask was,' said Dr. Chapin, very deliberately, 4 who held the candle for Jonah when he read prayers in the whale's belly ?' 41 It is said that the juvenile divine maintained a dignified silence during the rest of that journey."

During General Jackson's second Presidential campaign there flourished at the Quarantine Ground, Staten Island, an honest old fellow, a baker by trade, and a stanch Democrat withal. One evening a political meeting was held at a small tavern which then stood on the shore road, a short distance east of the present Pavilion at New Brighton. Our good friend, and several other residents at the Quarantine, attended the meeting. Amongj them was old Dr. II., who was a noted wag, and it occurred to him that if a speech could be got out of the old baker it would be exceedingly amusing. Accordingly he called on him for an address. 44 No, no," said the baker ; 44 1 can make bread, but I can't make speeches." The suggestion, however, had excited the audience, and the old man was at length compelled to make the effort. So, rising in his seat, he said : 44 Fellow citizens, it is well known to you all that when John Quincy Adams was President the Emperor of Brazil seized several of our ships, and wouldn't let 'cm come home. So President Adams wrote him ' a letter, and a very pwty letter it was, too for to give him his due, he knew how to write, if he didn't know any thing else. So the Emperor he got the letter, and, after he had read it, he asked who this Adams was ? and his headmen told him he was President of the United States. 4 Well, well,' says the Emperor, 4 ho wants me to send them ships home, but I won't do it ; for it is quite plain to me that a man who can write so beautiful, don't know any thing about fighting ; so the ships must stay where they are. Well," continued the ba ker, 44 by-and-by Gineral Jackson got to be President, and he wrote a letter to the Emperor, and it was something like this : 4 You Emperor, send them ships home right away. Andrkw Jackson.1 Well, the Emperor got that letter too, and after he had read it, he laughed, and said, 4 This is a mighty queer letter 1 Who is this Jackson ? 'Pears to me I've heard of him before.' 4 We'll tell you," said his headman, 4 who he is. He is the New Orleans Jackson.' 4 What 1' said the Emperor, 4 the 'New Orleans Jackson 1 That's quite another matter. If this man don't write so beautiful he knows how to fight ; so send them ships home right away.' And it was done.' It is scarcely worth while to say that this was re garded as a very effective political speech, and was received with thunders of applause. Bees in the Spring. Sometime ago, we published an item stating that if bees were allowed access to oil cake, the quantity of their honey would be thereby increased, as our authority stated, several hundred per cent. But honey alone, or its constituent materials, is not all that bees require ; for, as a correspondent of the New York Tribune states, pollen is also needed to make 44 bread" for the young bees. The weather may be warm enough and the bees lively enough ; but until the bees afford polen, they have no material to work upon to enable them to be in season with the new brood to produce early swarms. A Mr. Sturtevant, of Cleveland, Ohio, asserts that he can bring bees forward two months earlier by the very simple process of feeding them with unbolted rye-meal placed on boards near the hive. They 44 pitch into it at once." As of late years bee-keeping has become a favorite and often a profitable amusement with thousands, and as no class of 44 pets" can in these respects be compared to them, it is not impossible that a knowledge of the facts above mentioned may prove acceptable to many. Bees are like trees it costs very little to start them, they maintain themselves with very little attention, they are pleasant to observe and in the end profitable. Philadelphia Bullotin. The Toothache. 44 My dear, friend," said H , 41 1 can cure your toothache in ten minutes." 44 How ? how ?" I inquired. 44 Do it in pity. 44 Instantly," said he. 44 Have you any alum !" "Yes." 44 Bring it, with some common salt." They were produced. My friend pulverized them, and mixed them in equal quuntities, then wet a small piece of cotton, causing the mixed powder to adhere, and placed it in my hollow tooth. 44 There," said he, 44 if that does not cure you I will forfeit my head. You may tell this to every one and publish it everywhere. The remedy is infallible." It was as he predicted. On the introduction of the mixed alum and salt, I experienced a sensation of coldness which gradually subsided, and with it the alum and salt it cured the torments of the toothache.

LIVER UN VIGORATOR! P REPA RED by Dr. San ford, is a great Scientific Medical Discovery, and is daily workine cures almost too erMt will vo. an nio as ll uj lUUICf BVCn bit JIT UtD fftWitlm benefit, and seldom more than one bottle is required to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to u common headache, all of which are the result of Diseased Liver, , . The Liver is one of the prin- cipal regulators of tho human body, and when it per- forms its functions well, the powers of the systom are fully developed. The ton. ocAisalinostentirelydepend- yyBlenton a healthy action of the Liver for the proper perform- jance of Us Junctions. When the stomach Is at fault, the ) bowels are at fault, and the whole system suffers in con-sequence of one organ the Liver huving censed to do its duty. For the diseases of that organ, one of the propri- w. e tors has made it his study In a practice of more than 20 years, to find gome remedy wherewith to counteract the many derangements to which it is liable. To prove that this remedy CG is at last found, any person troubled with Liver Com- Jj plaint in any of its forms, has but to try a bottle, and con- CD viction is certain. A compound has boon form-ed by dissolving gums, and extracting that pHrt which is soluble, for the active virtues of the medicine. Those gums remove all morbid or- bad matter from the system, sup- plyingin their place a healthy flow of bile, invigorating the stomach, causing food to d). gestwell, purifying the blood and givingtone and health to the whole machinery: reniov- ing the causes of the disease and effecting a radical cure without any of the disagree! abl aftereffects, felt by using Calomol or Mineral Poison that is usually resorted to. r" One dose after eating is sufficient to relieve thestom.acli and prevent the food -from rising and souring. Only one dose taken before reiiring prevents night mare, Only one dose taken at night loosens the bowels gently, and cures costive-rjD ness tone dose taken after each J" meal will cure Dyspepsia. JO3 one dose of two tea- spoousful wilUlwuys relieve sick -headache. One bottle taken for female bJ obstruction, removes the cause of the disease and makes a perfect cure. Only one dose immediately jnsa relieves C ho lie, while One dose often repented is a sure cure for Cholera Morbus, and a preventative of Clmlera. One dose taken often will Tff) prevent the recurrence of billious attacks, while it re- lieves all pirinful feelings, JCf" Only one bottle is needed to throw out ofta system the effects of medi- cine after a long sick news. One bottle taken for Jaun- dice removes all yellowness or unnatural color from the skin. One dose taken a short rH tinie before eating, gives vigor to the appetite and makes s food digest well. . One dose often repeated cures Chronic Diarrhoea in worst forms, while summerr and bowel complaints yiel almost to the first dose. )tsai One or two doses cures at- lacks caused by worms, while for worms in children, there is no surer, safer, or speedier remedy in the world, as it .never fails. There is no exaggeration in these statements ; they are plain sober facts, that we can give evidence to prove, while all who use it are giving their Jjj. unanimous testimony in its favor. Among the hundreds of Liver Remedies now offered totha public, there are none we can so fully recommend as Dr. Sanford's Invigorator, so generally known throughout the Union, This preparation is truly a Liver Invigorator, producing the most htippy results on all who use it. Almost innumerable certificates have been given of the great virtue of this medicine by those of the highest standing in society, and we know it to be the best preparation now before the public Hudson Co.
