The first property combines with and subsides in the form of floculent particles the whole of the grain oil, (Amylic Alcohol.) The whiskey is thus deprived of that peculiar irrita ting and burning taste, and becomes a needful spirit ; the second property consists in an oily tnucillaginoits taste imparti d to the liquor, which renders it mellow, and imparts an appearance of great age ; the third property is exhibited in the rich vinous nuttv odor that is imparted ta the liquor, which renders distinction from the genuine brands impossible.

You will therefore he patient a little, and Tim will re plenish the Viands.” “ Yes, yes, Judge,” re sponded Tim, “ you may liet your odd rib on that ; but Grotius’ viands had no place on the bill cf fare this morning,—therefore please qualify that last remark, or else the Judge may think the absence of such luxuries is caused thro’ my neglect.” I have only noticed this matter in order to set myself right on the main question, as the member from Arkansas said a lien he spoke at length on the bill fixing a high price on coon skins, and a low price on whiskey. “ Hut Judge,” continued Tim, 11 when you leave out the viands, as Grotius calls them, and come right down to a plain cup of coffee, good fried bacon, a corn dod ger, or a gum elastic slap-jack, I’m right thar.” “ Tim, my dear liny,” said Judge Portable, “ you have not, I am glad to see, lost any of the hu mor which so well becomes your generous soul. Hut do not, 1 pray, put yourself to any inconve nience for my sake, but allow me to enjoy the meal without any reference to its quality.” “ All right, Judge,” said Tim. ‘'just sit by ; here’s the coffee, here’s the bacon, Judge—and Judge! here’s a slapjack that Baron Yon Humboldt might have readily sketched the diagram of his Cosmos upon.” “ lly gracious, Tim,” said Judge Portable, raising himself with a sort of good na tured grunt, and a pleasant, half way smile, that had more than one kindness in view, “ you have in addition to your other great resources of mind a knowledge of science, eh?” “ Well yes, Judge,” said Tim, “ I have experienced some little shocks that »»" ” “ Explain, Tim,” said Grotius, “ you don’t mean to say iLi't »>y experiencing the shocks of science that you have utC* trying to imitate Franklin, or anything of that kind uC you • “ Welt no, not exactly, Grotius," Tim repiled; 1 11 but I suppose my experience will bear some com parison witli Franklin’s.” ‘.‘Well, wcll,”*aid Charley, who was stretched horizdntally on the ground, after having put a new stem in his pipe, ami ,,!aced a coal of f ire on the tobacco in the old meershaut%“ you've seed tire, Tim, you have.’ “ Well, Charley, I've seen right smart, and I’ve gone considerable, but I'll tell you pne thing, Charley that I did'nt t)o!” ” What was (hat, Tim ?” ■ Why I diil'nt do the boring qf (Imt pipe stem that you have been trying so hard for the last ten minutes to draw smoke through.” The whole camp was thrown Into a loud fit of laugh ter at Charley's expense. “Now Judge,” said Tim, “let me pour some codec tor you.' •* No, qq, Tim,” replied ihe Judge, “ thank you ; 1 have eat en very hearty, 1 assure you.

Vuu recollect my wishing last night to be rich, or to just get gold enough to accomplish a certain object; I'll tell you now about the whole affair. About ten years ugn I first became acquaint! d with a girl named Sarah Chism. Her father lived near the .'skillet Fork of the Wabash, and not far from the lllue Gut of Moccasin bend. This Iasi name was giv en to it in early times because the people did'ut have any shoes to wear but moccasins made ftorn deer skin. Well, to come to my story, I com menced going over to old ('liism’s consideraliir. i only lived about two miles and a half from hiiua My father sold Chism his farm, so you see that rl w as business that first made us acquainted. Well,] things progressed pretty tine. Sally yes, tliiJOj wlist I used to cull her—she told me she be called Sally, because it w as “ short and sweerr® Snlly called me Tim, and I liked her to call me so, because I always felt that such a voluntary familiarity w as an indication of kindness of heart. Sally was about ten years older than myself, but I did'ut care anything about that. She was tali and possessed an ensy, genteel and graceful fig ure. She was splendidly educated, and could speak French, but she had an awful bad temper, and when she did get fairly mad her eyes looked sixteen cornered I.elii coal, coming at you by the ton, but then when she felt like being sociable and good natured, her black eyes looked for all the world like two melting tar pots, running in to and all over you.” “ Well I’ll bo dad drabod v ~ .1 baiut seed jest sieli as !*er in old Hike,’ said Charley, who was lying on the ground, support ing his head by elbow props, and resting his chin and cheeks in a sort of wedge position between both hands. “ Well, Charley,” said Tim," 1 nev er saw but her, and 1 love ber, sure. « Well, to tell you the balance of inydrouble, how 1 came out, and how things stand now, I'll just proceed. Old man Chism had but two chil dren, Sally and Boll. Thu boy was the worst young rascal 1 ever saw. lie was continually ma king fun of everybody and everything- Gue day in trout of old Ben Swab’s grocery, Iiub com menced making fun of the shortness of my home spun pants, which, by the way, were made for a smaller brother ol mine. 11c halloed out at the pitch of his voice, “Tim, you must have had yopr shin hours spliced.” 1 bated this remark because it got to lie a standard plu ase at Swab s grocery. 1 walked off about two hundred yards from the grocery, and called Bob. At first he didn't want to come, but I tolel him I just wanted ty talk to b in in reason. Tbis brought him " ill • to camp.’’ I told him he ought to know bettor than to talk to me in that nay. “ Welt, Tim, you oan't tell how blamed funny it looks to see a great big “ Hokum'’ like you wearing tuch blatnenntion small breeches.” 1 tell you, 1 oould'nt stand it any longer, so I just took him by tl e shoulders, turned him “ right about faeu” and tried the virtue ot shin bone propelling pow er on him tor nearly five minutes. You may bet your odd rib that he came to the conclusion that there was no splice nor anything else but the real' natural shin bone and marrow about that. This a (fair was the principle cause of all my trouble. Hob made a desperate ease of it to Sally Chism, and the consequence wins that she siffme word not to visit her any more. I have got her note to that effect in a little testament in my bag there.” lleachlug over at this moment and run ning his hand into the bag, he exhibited the note and told Grotlus to read it.

Moccasin Hkno, 1 V* 1 July 1, ltUH. t Tim Dear Sir:-- 1 have every reason to be lieve from recent events that vour feelings and friendship is not mutual for all the members of Our family.

Old Chism you see owed my father a balance on the payment for the farm. Fallii v held lie note, which w as payable after corn busking. 1 was talking to the old man one day in the Held about our little affairs, lie offered to give me Chism's note, live barrels of corn, and a splendid brown horse mule, if 1 would work on until tlfe first of' new year. I agreed to do it. I took the note and over to old Chism’s one Saturday evening, aitii told him that T should have to call on him aoou for the payment. The old man looked quite surprised, and spoke of the scarcity of money anil the impossibility of paying the note before spring. 1 put on a few airs, but with no sort of hard feeling towards the family. You know how natural it is for men to pu,t ou airs .villi theme who are obligated to them. 1 saw it whs going to work well. Sally and the old woman worn in close counsel about the mutter, and seeing the old man’s anxiety to join the conference, I took it stroll in tho burn yard, as if there was nothing at all in the huu.se tkU attraoUid my attention. The old man won cam* out end oou..nv:v?'<l talk*. Uff spoilt the strange qpnduet of gjHfeMt*since V , | u 11 * !r thM, 1 tifll', 1 001 frank to confess that .Sarah will never be any thing like shu used to was If you don’t continue your visits.” 1 replied by assuring him that 1 was all light, and was willing to go on us we did before. Sally made bur uppearunco at Ibe door and called, T i-m ! beginning in a mild tone and running up to a scream, lb r father un derstood it and suid, “ Come Tim, let’s go to sup per.” I went, of course, and I will say that 1 never eat a more hearty meal in my life. After supper the old folks left Sally and me alone. They were mighty good people about that ami we talked the whole thing over I stopped until Mon day morning, and when I lell I told the old man he nccd’nt make himself any way uneasy about the payment of the note. Chism smiled and said, “ All right, Tim.” Things went on very smooth ly for a few weeks, until a little wire-eyed, blue gillcd, hungry looking pettifogger, commenced to interfere with my arrangements. I told him 1 would’nt be fooled with, unit that if I caught him meddling with my affairs, there would bean ,injured " limb of the law.” Jfu replied that I hail better go along about my business, and Hint Mie would utteuil to bis and mine ton, it I troubled iLn. I knew that he would be revenged of mu because lie was said to In- very spite ful, so 1 always kept my “ top eye” open for him. There wus in the neighborhood an old half cracked carpenter who used to go by the name of “ Wind and Chips" mid who was a particular friend of 11 Iilue (iill” and by (be influence of the little lawyer this old mud licnd cut a trap door in the binull bridge that led across Moccasin creek and about the fourteenth of last February, when 1 was returning one night from Sally's house, [ went cuswusli right through the trap door, striking tny cliin on the rim of the door and both elbows on the easing. It was a dark and over cast night, Imt I saw stars for half an hour after I fell, and when my elbows struck 1 felt as though there was two streaks of double chained lightning running through me. Aftir a while 1 recovered, and whenever 1 hear of flen l'rarikliu’s catching lightning, 1 think of that night tho trap door the stars I seen, and the double chain lightning that run through me.” “ Well/’ said Crotius. “dial was experiencing the sciences sure enough, Tim.” “ Yes, Tim” said the Judge, “ that was going to the foundation of science, or rather xuunditig the depths of mechanical philosophy.” “ Well now, ’’ said Tim. I'm coming to the cause that bus driven me here. 1 found out that the little lawyer was at the foot of it, and so deter mined to give him lits. 1 knew he carried pistols so I procured one, and went out in old Dick Bel lamy’s timber and sent Jack White to tell him that old l’ete fluster, on the other side of the tim ber, was just dying, and had sent for him imme diately to draw up Ids will. This brought hint.

Jaek carried him back to where he lived, lie cotnmcneed a suit against me Immediately for an assault with intout to kill. The slu rilVinsti tuted search for me immediately, but Jack W bite who was always a good friend of mine, told the sheriff iu coulhJein'O that 1 hud left the same night for Chicago, so he put out after me to Chicago, hoping to arrive there before me and nab me when I got there, but 1 bad no notion <*/ going there' at all. 1 spent three days under Has wreck of a flat-boat that hud been hauled out of the \\ abash. Jack went and acquainted Sally with the whole utl'alr, and she wrote this very IvlOr.’’- Tim passed the letter to (irotius, and requested him to read it.
