A correspondent of the Blair

that paper the particulars of the
following interesting incident of
which he was an eye witness. It
occurred a few years ago on the
line of the great international
improvements of that State. It was

a tall, rough, embrowned man,

the labors of his men, when the
cars rolled up, and a few moments
after a party of about half a dozen
gentlemen came out and deliber-

with the sick man cradled in his
arms. Pushing directly through
the crowd with his dying burden,
he ordered a matress to be spread
in the choicest part of the boat,
where he laid the invalid with all
the care of a parent. That done,
the captain directed the boat for
starting.
But a new feeling seemed to
possess the astonished passengers.
With one common impulse they
walked aboard the boat, and in a
few hours after, another committee
was sent to the captain entreating
his presence among the passen-
gers in the cabin. He went, and
from their midst there arose a
white-haired man, who with tear-
drops in his eyes told that rough,
gun-browned man that they felt
humbled before him, and they asked
his forgiveness. It was a touch-
ing scene. The fountain of true
sympathy was broken in a heart of
nature, and its waters welled up,
choking the utterance of all pres-
ent. On the instant a purse was
made up for the sick man, with a
" God speed" ou his way home to
die in the arms of his mother.
The Naval Court.—We are
happy to understand that their is
a prospect that the Naval Court

who are unjustly treated by the
Reform Board, and will also close
the door against the unworthy
and incompetent who were cast
overboard by that tribunal.—

Sir—I understand that you have

true, your meaning?

To which Mr. Henry replied as
follows:
Sir—I do not recollect having
called you a bobtail politician at
any time, but think it probable I
have. Not recollecting the time
or the occasion, I can't say what
I did mean: but if you will tell

Scene in Court.—Lawyer.—
You say you are acquainted with
the defendant Johnson, and call
him " an even tempered man." Now
in fact, isn't he an ill-natured, vio-
lent man? one who is often angry
for little or no reason?
Witness.—Why, yes that's his
disposition. I have known him
intimately for several years, and
I call him " an even tempered man,"
because he is always in a passion;
never saw him yet when he wasn't
a stormin' about suthin.'
Lawyer.—That'll do. The gen-
