A Tooner Lawyer Leans Wladona Irons Pretty Wenaa, From the St Louis Democrat, Ja.ll.J A flar or two ago, talented young lawyer of the city; whose name is not Smith, and whose briefs have been like angels' visits, was delighted by finding in his oilice a richly dressed lady, who announced her desire to employ him professionally. With a beaming smile, that could hardly be restrained from bursting into a full-blown laugh, the young Jllaokstonf handed the lady a cushioned' Arm vnairr- and assured her that he was" entirely and devotedly at her service." Seating herself in the proffered office chair, the lady ungloved a small, white hand, that literally1 glistened with dia monds, and applied a Suez-scented handkerchief to her lips, blushed, and, A.Diin. har pvpb nrtnn the flnnr. said: " Mj husband is very particular it is 1 - k4 ...... ,:il n katMV pnraun in, eir, uui uu hwv ucm; mel - " T(i.at. ,i?

The lawyer wrote down a sketch ot hn lariv'a matrimonial infelicities, and again assured her that he would have no difficulty in procuting a divorce, with at least iu,uuu aumony.

He was still more astonished when Mr. in formed him that he was a widower and had not been blessed with a wife for more than ten years. . ' Young Blackstone was seized witlf a fit of melancholy, which still afflicts him, for all hia efforts to find the fair swindler have proved unavailing. He has come to the conclusion to have nothing to do with divorce .Cases, and has written to his father to send him another $100 bill to replace the one he gaye his client for a bogus check.

Ex-Governor Ashley delivered a lec ture in Chicago a day j or two ago on " Men and Measures during Ten Years in Congress," and in the course of his remarks spoke of Thomas Corwin as follows: ,. ' Foremost among the genial and com panionable members of the House stood Thomas Corwin, of Ohio. ' He belonged to the ancient regxmt, and has been dis tinguished for wit and humor,' as well as for active service in Congress. He had been too long a Whig to forget the teach ings of conservatism. He was ill at ease in the new and aggressive Republi can party. . , a I "r ' In his most radical efforts he was so fir behind the Speaker that the latter sometimes told him that nnless he adopted one side he would drift down the current and land in the ranks of his lile-long political opponents, lie was never in any sense a reformer, and after giving his adhesion to the compromise measures of 1850, including the Fugi tive Slave bill, he was always classed by the Radicals as an opponent of emanci pation, i At least he ; was a nutionul Unionist, and voted for Mr. Lincoln in 1800. During Mr. Ashley's service with him in the House, occasionally in the ex citement of debate, he would address the Speaker as Mr. President and the mem bers as Senators, and then stray into the abandoned fields of whiggery, and elo quently elaborate the beauties of con servatism.'"""""'"'"'""" The peculiar humor of Corwin made him a general favorite among all parties. As a man, few possessed more lovable traits of character. He was , generous and noble in all his impulses; never with out a kind word or witty expression to relieve the embarrassments and asperi ties often engendered by party stnie. He was keen without being malignant, refined and elegant, and' yet always ef fective. ; - " No one felt the' hurt of a wound in flicted by Corwin. When he spoke, every part of his person spoke, and his powers of ridicule left small chance of reply. His mobility of feature was very remark able, giving point and effectiveness to his sentiments. He was a man of simple nature, and remarkably .abstemious in his habit!. Mr. Ashley never' saw him indulge, even in a glass of wine at dinner. He had ambition, but it was not arrogant or selfish. His first aim was to excel its a debater. That he wished to be Presi dent, and at one time labored for it, is doubtless true, but the failure did not trouble or sour him, as it did so many. He will ever have a place among our distinguished men. The speaker snw him in the midst ot a story with wtiicn he was entertaining a party at Washing ton, stricken with apoplexy and death . Thug passed away Thomas Corwin, the orator and statesman, who in his last days atoned for all his mistakes by h is devoted love ot country, and the u me tering faith with which he stood to serve her in the hour of her agony and despa ir. ' Dos Teama la Siberia. ' The winter travel of the Kamtcbadndes is accomplished, entirely upon dog sledges, and in no other pursuit of their lives do they spend more time, and ex hibit their native skill and ingenuity to better advantage. They may even be said to have made dogs for themselves in the first place, for the present Si berian animal is nothing more than a half domesticated Arctic wolf, and still retains all of his wolhsh instincts and peculiarities. There ' is probably no more hardy, enduring animal in the world. You may compel him to Bleep out on the snow in a temperature of 70 degrees' below zero, drive him with heavy loads until his feet crack open and print the snow with blood, or starve him until he eats his harness, but his strength and his spirit seem alike unconquerable. I have driven a team of nine dogs more than a hundred miles in a day and a night, and have frequently worked them hard for forty-eight hours, without being able to give them a particle of food. In general they feed once a day, their al lowance being a single dried fash, weigh ing, perhaps, a pound and a half or two pounds. This is given to them at night, so that they begin another day's work with empty stomachs.""" Under favorable circumstances eleven dogs will make from forty to fifty miles a day with a man and a load, of 400 pounds. They are harnessed ito the sledge in successive couples by a long central thong of seal-skin, to which each individual dog is attached by a collar and a short trace. Xhey are guided and controlled entirely by the voice and by a lead dog, who is especially trained for that purpose. The driver carries no whip, but has instead a thick stick, about four feet in length and two inches in diameter, called an "oerstel."' This is armed at one end with a long iron spike, and is used to check the speed of the sledge in descending hills, and to stop the dogs when they leave the road, as they frequently do, in pursuit of rein deer and foxes. The spiked end is then thrust down in front of one of the knees or uprights of the runners, and drags in that position through the snow, the upper end being firmly held by the driver. It is a powerful lever, and when skillfully used breaks np a sledire very promptlyand effectively. Geo. Kennan. One of a gang of robbers recently broken up in Nevada, among other cu rious confessions, has said that in 1?67 the gang purchased a quartz mill, for the purpose of breaking np and working over the silver bricks which they ex-1 pected to Bteal, in order to avoid detec tion in disposing of their, booty. A mem ber of the party whe engaged in this novel milling operation filed his petition in bankruptcy previous to the purchase, j in order to secure his prospective profits ; from the grasp of his creditors.
