For the sake of econo- wy they took but two meals a day—breakfast and supper—and for dinner bought a chunk of gingerbread. On this account, they were the su: _ of many a joke and jeer by the Kentuckians and others engaged on the work As a party of fishermen were returning from a fishing excursion, one of them, on passing a place where gingerbread was sold, thought be would have a little sport, and accordingly bought a piece, and placing it on bis hook, said he was go to catch an Indianian.’’ Going to the canal where they were at work, he threw the hook thus baited among the la- borers. An Indianian, seeing the ridicule that was intended. took it upand commenced nibbling, and the fisherman commenced draw- ing in the prize slowly, uati! be drew him within two or three feet, when # trem blow be:ween the eyes laid the anglers ing on the ground The ficherman’s ries. ds were about to join in the fight, when the In- dianian’s pugnacious air and attitude warned them that it was not advisable. «* By ——,”” said another delighted Indianian, referring to bis friend who had accomplished the fext, “hes a husher!’? He was a busher, for after thie the ridicule was hushed In « short tire ail the Indianians were called ‘ hush- ers,’’ a namefwhich gradually changed to the present word ‘‘hoosier’’ From the above circumstance arises the terms ‘‘ hoosier bait, ”’ and “ hosier bread "’ ke A very intelligent Irishman tells tho following incident of his first experience in America [ came to this country several years ago, and as soon as I arrived hired out to a gentleman whe farmed a few acres. He showed me over his premises, the stable, cow, and where tae corn, hay, oate, &e , were kept and then sent me in to get my supper. After supper he said to me, James you may feed the cow, and give hercorntn theear”’ I went out and walked about thinking, “‘what could he mean? HadI understood him?” I scratched my head, and then resolved I would en- quire again; so I went into the library where my master was writing very busily, and he answered without looking up, “I thought [ told you to give the cow some cornin the ear” L went out more puzzled thanever. What sort of an avimal must this Yankee cow be ? I examined her mouth and ears The teeth were good, and the ears like those of kine in the old country Dripping with sweat, I on- tered my master’s presence once more “*Pleaso sir, you bid me give the cow some corn tm tne car, but didn’t you mean the mouth?” He looked at me 2 moment, and then burst into such a convulsion of laughter, that I made for the stables as fast as my feet could take me, thinking I was in the service of a crazy man Powers, THe Scuarron —A new English work, entitled ‘‘ Travels in Europe and the East,’ says of this distinguished American artist “The most remarkable man in the studio, is the man himself At the age of fifteen he was an emigrant from Vermont, his native State, to Ohio, and there, at the age of tweaty- aix, he made his first bust, ahead in wax It gave little promise of what has since ap- peared.

He is des- tined to inaugurate a new era in sculpture, and leave a name to posterity as the founder ofaschool which will attract the admiration, and finally seoure the approving verdict of the successive ages of the Christian world.

Le had occasion to return from a visit in the country to Boston by an omnibus. When he got in there were four persons occupying the whole of ose side—two gentlemen and two la- dies, dressed for the opera They seemed to be annoyed by his entrance lest he should crowd them, and, as successive passengers were received. they openly manifested their opposition to it, and seemed to be greatly dis- tressed lest their opera dresses should get rumpled. But before reaching the city twelve persons occupied the omnibus, and it was, of course, ‘comfertably full.’ But soon after reaching the city, two other persons applied to be received, and it was a question how it could be done ; but as these two persons were a young gentleman and lady friends of the first named, and alo going to the opera, room was made for them by placing some of the young ladies on the knees of their husbands or lovers, and when he (Mr Walker) suggest- ed his apprehension that they must be crowd- ed, they replied, ‘O, no; we were never more comfortable in our lives !’”’ > A law suit occurred at North Danville, Vt, recently, in which a justice, twolawyers, a constable, a doled witnesses, and two sets of jurymen, tosay nethin3 of a score of others who were present from curiosity, spent two days in a case of trespass for sundry articles of second-hand iron ware. After all, only one cent damage was awarded, when the plaintiff found that the defendant was a minor and could avoid payment of that and the costs. Great is the majesty of law.

Tae Burrex Trex.—On the banks of the Niger, in Africa, they have a tree called the Shea, from which excellent butter is obtained. The tree is like our oak, and the fruit somo- what resembles the Spanish oli The ker- nel of the fruit is dried im the sun and then boiled, and the butter thus obtained is whiter, firmer, and of a richer flavor than that ob- tained from the cow, besides keeping sweet a yeur without salt The growth and prepara- tion of this article is one of the leading ob- jects cf African indvetry, and constitutes the maia article of their inland commerce. If the present prices continue, we recommend our ceskors to import a supply of the vegeta- ble butter from Afri: or may be the tree can be acclimated, and every man have e butter tree in his yard. What will then be- come of the cows Give Hw Jcosrice —Last fall, in Boston, a man detecting an unlawful intimacy between his wife and a neighbor. entered a complaint against them, upon which they were held to bail, which they readily found. The injured husband was also bound over as principal witness, and, being unable to get bail, was of course placed in jail to await thetrial. Tho other day the case came up before Judge Ab- hott ; it was found, however, that the hus- band could not be a witness against his wife, and so the parties were all dismissed. There- upon the injured husband —‘ more in sorrow than in anger’’—addressed the Court as tol- lows * “Your Honor, is this what they call jus- tice? Here, six mouths ago, I complained against this man for criminal intercourse with my wife; thereu I was locked up out of the way, and he has lived with her ever since. Now you say I can’t testify, and there's case against him Why could'nt you tell me so last fall, without keeping me in jail all win- ter, and leaving the parties to go on half a your longer, making a bad matter worse, without me to trouble ’em.
