"Death of the Kentucky Fat Boy.
Andrew Brand, the Kentucky Fat

Rafter an illness of about four weeks.
He was a native of the town of Cal

probably was the largest human be

than' 537 -pounds. He came to this

tacked with his last illness. He was
accompanied by a brother and other

prolong his existence and alleviate

Reflections The Price of an Opinion.
In a cold night ol November, 1
the year 1S25, a man enveloped in
cloak, rapped at tbe "door of one of
the most distinguished advocates at
Paris.- He was quickly shown into
the chamber of the learned lawyer,
"bir," said he, placing upon the ta
ble a large parcel of papers, "I am
rich; but the suit that has been in
stituted against me to-day will en
tirely ruin me. At my ase, a for
tune is not to be rebuili so that the
loss of my suit will condemn me
forever to the most frightful misery
I come to ask the aid of your talents.
Here are the papers; as to the Tacts,
I will, if vou please, expose them
clearly to you."
The advocate listened attentive!
to the stranger; then opened the par
eel, examined all the papers it con-
tamed, and said "Sir, the action

and morality. Unfortunately, in
spite of the admirable perfection of
our codes, law does not always ac
cord with justice, and here the law
is for you. If, therefore, you rest
strictly upon the law, and avail your
self without exception of all the
means in your favor; if, above all,
these means are exposed with clear
ness and force, you will infallibly
gain this suit, and nobody can after
wards dispute that fortune which
you fear to lose."
"Nobody in the world," replied
the client, "is so competent to do this
as yourself. An opinion drawn up
this sense and signed by you
would render me invulnerable. I
am bold enough to hops that you
will not refuse it to me."
The skilful advocate reflected for
some moments, and, taking up again
the papers which he had pushed
away with an. abruptness peculiar to
him, said that he would draw up the
opinion, and that it should be hn
ished the following day at the same
hour.
The client was punctual to his ap.
pointment. The advocate presented
him with the opinion, and without
taking the trouble to reply to the
thanks with which the other over
whelmed him, said to him rudely
"Here is tne opinion; mere is no
judge, who, after having seen that,
condemn you. uive me 3,000
francs?"
The client was struck dumb and
motionless with surprise.
"You are free to keep your mon
ey," said the advocate, "as I am to
throw this opinion in the fire.
So speaking, he advanced towards
chimney; but the other slopped
him. and declared that he would pay
sum demanded, but that he had
only half of it with him.
He drew, in fact, from his pocket-
book 15,000 francs in bank notes.
advocate with one hand took
notes, and with the other threw
opinion into a drawer.
"But, said the client, "I am going,
you please, to give you my note
the remainder.
"I want money. Bring me 1,500
more francs or you shall not have
line." '
There was no remedy, and the 3,-
francs were paid; but the client,
revenge himself of what he con
ceived an injustice, told the anec
It got into the papers, and for
fortnight there was a deluge of
witticisms of all kinds upon the dis
interestedness of the great advocate.
Those who did not laugh at it, said
was deplorable that a man of such
should be tainted with a vice
degrading as ayerice. Even . his
mends were moved by it, and some
them went so far as to remon
strate with him publicly; but the only
he gave was bv shrueging.his
shoulders, and then, as everything is
ajfjrkly forgot at Paris; people soon
censed to talk ol this. Ten years
passed. One day the Court ot
Cassation, in its red robes, was de
scending the steps of the Palace ol
Justice, to be present at a public
ceremony. All at once a female
from the crowd, throws her
at the feet of the procureur-gen-
seizes the end ot his robe, and
presses it to her lips. The woman is
looked upon as deranged, and they
to drag her away. .
"Uh," leave me alone, leave me
alone,? she cries, "I recognize him

there, upon my table, and the coun
tenance of that generous man was
engraved upon my Heart, never to
be erased. Well this man this pre
server of my familv is here! Let
me thank him before God and before

The court had stopped. The pro-
cureur-geoeral appeared moved, but
conquering his emotions he said
"lake awav this good woman,

mind."
He was mistaken; the poor woman

and Mr. Dupin had forgotten.
Patrick Henry vs. Intolerance.
Soon after Henry's noted case of
Tobacco and the preserves, as it
was called, he heard of a case of op
pression for conscience sake. The
English Church having been estab-
shed by law in Virginia, became, as
such establishments are wont to
n, exceedingly intolerant towards
ther sects. In the prosecution ot
this system of conversion, three Bnp
t clergymen had been indicted
redericksburg for preaching the
osnel of the 5on of God contrary
the statue. Henry hearing ol this
rode some fifty miles to voluntee
is services for the oppressed. He
entered the Court, being unknown
o all present, save the bench and
he bar, while the indictment was
being read by the clerk. He sa
ithin the bar until the reading was
nished, and the king's attorney had
concluded some remaiksin support
the prosecution, when he arose
reached out his hand tor the paper
and without more ceremony procee
with the following speech:
May it please your worships,
hink I heard read by the prosecutor,
I entered this house, the paper I
now hold in my hand, ill have right
understood, the king's attorney for
colony has framed an indict
ment for the purpose of arraigning
punishing, by imprisonment,
three inoffensive persons before
bar of this court, for a crime

peace. May it please the court
what did 1 hear read? Did I hear
distinctly, or was it a mistake of my
own; Did I hear an expression as
crime, that these men whom your
worships are about to try for mis-
demeanor.are charged with whatf
continuing in a low, solemn,
heavy voice, "preaching the Gospel
the Son of Gcd!" Pausing amidst
most profound silence and breath
less astonishment, he slowly waved
paper three times around his
head, when lifting his hands to heav
en, with peculiar and impressive en
he exclaimed, "Great God '"
exclamation the burst of feel
from the audince were all over
powering. Mr. H. resumed:
"May it please your worships, in
day like this, when truth is about
be aroused to claim its natural and
nalienable rights; when the yoke of
oppression, that has reached the wu
derness of America, and the unnatu
alliance of ecclesiastical and civ-
power, are about to be discovered-
such a period, when liberty lib
erty of conscience is about to awake
her slumbenngs, and enquire
the reason of such charges as I
exhibited here to-day in this in
dictment." Another leariul pause,
the speaker, alternately casts
sharp, piercing eyes on the
and the prisoners, and then
resumed: "If I am not deceived, ac
cording to the contents of the paper
I now hold in my hand, these
are accused of preaching the
Gospel of the Son of Godl Great
Another long pause while
again waved the indictment
around his head while a deeper im
pression was made on the auditory.
Resuming his speech:
May it please your worships,
are periods in the history of
when corruption and depravi
ty have so long debased the human
character that man sinks under the
weight of the oppressor's hand, "be
comes his servile,' abject slave, he

in passive obedience to the
mandates of the despot, and in this
of servility, he receives his fet-:

pallid and gh.istly, and he appeared

From the Baltimore Patriot. The Austrian General and the London Brewers.
One cannot but be gratified with
the tone of Jhe English press upon
the matter ol the assault of the brew
ers of Barclay & Perkin's establish
ment, London, on this Austrian ty
rant, when he lately visited their
brewer j. The tone of the Ameri
can press was to be expected. ' Hu

This hustling of" Haynau by the
brewers was none of that wild jus
tice; it was outraged humanity pros
claiming her detestation of a fiend
that wore her shape.
We said the other day, in noticing
the application of Lvnch's law to a
citizen of Ohio, who amused himself
with the c'aily castigation of his wife
and upon whom a crowd of his of
fended neighbors inflicted the same
punishment, that though no advo
cates for mob law, and quite the con
trary, that there -were occasions
when the application of Moses' rule
was commendable;
This creature Havnau, among his
other atroci ies, had the wives of
certain Hungarian officers publicly
whipped. A greater outrage could
not be offered to civilization. And
every man having the heart of a man
in his bosom feels it, whether he be
London Lord or London brewer.
If what the poet says is true
"He who lays his hind upon a woman.
Save in the war of kinitnesa, t a wretrh,
Wonm. 'twere gross flattery to call coward."
what must Haynau be? . There
fore that he was kicked and cuffed
and dragged about by his grim mus
tache, and had to fly for it, taking
refuge under the roof of a lady,
whose sex he had outraged, was nat
ural enough. Wo.nan always pro
tects the weaker party, from an in
stinct of her nature which cannot
bear to see suffering, no matter how
much it may be deserved. So Hay
nau seemed to know, upon instinct,
where he would be safest, while man
always soonest avenges wrongs
against woman, and therefore are
these siurdy brewers justified in the
eyes of humanity. It is lucky for him
that he made an escape. What
rights could he plead that he had not
violated? To the rights ot hospitali
he has no claim, who knows not
what mercy is to the defenceless fe
males of a land that he has unjustly
and ruthlessly oppressed. The curse
Cnin is upon him without the
mark of the Almighty which with
holds the hand of his fellow man from
just punishment. In an article
upholding the brewers, Witmer'sand
Smith s Times says:
"So keenly did the British nation
sympathise with the wrongs of the
Hungarians, so utterly did they
abominate the tortures and cruelties
practiced upon the prisoners, and,
worse than all, upon unoffending, in.
nocent women, that if Lord Palmer
had come down to the House.

The truth of the following para
graph from the same press is a high
honor to England:
"We have become proverbial for
hospitality. Every expatriated
patriot, no matter Irom'' what part
the world, finds an asylum on out

This matter of the assault upon
this Austrian General is the straw
which shows which way the wind
blows. Mob law in England is al
ways put down and visited with the
reprehension, but here is an instance
where the highest and the proudest
express their sympathies with Jhe
conduct of a mob of London brew
ers. Public opinion as to what are
the rights of humanity is becoming
clearer and clearer every day. and
of course, public opinion as to what
should be the punishment of viola

turning clearer and clearer every

her attendants believed her to be dy

pillows, and struggling for breath:
lips were white: her eyes were
growing dull and glazed. She was
widow, and little Roger was her

into her room, and silting in her lap,

wise and good men, spoken of in its
pages.

Salutation to America.
Land of the beautifuf, land of the free
Often my heart bad turned, longing to
thee;
Often had mounta'n, lake, torrent and

Gleamed on my Waking thought, crow-

Now thou receive st tne from the broad
sea, .'''' . .
Land of the beautiful, land of the free!
Fair to the eye, in thy grandeur, thou
art;
O doublv fair, doubly dear to ihn
heart!
For to the exile, the trodden, the poor,
hrough the Wide World, thou hast open -
wd thy door;
Millions crowd in, and are welomed
by thee
Land of the beautiful, land of the free!
Land
of the future! Here art shall
repair .
Kinder thy gale than her own Grecian
air!
inco her true votaries ever have found
Lofty desert ky America crnwnedl
here, in her pride, should she dwell,
but in thee?
Land of the beautiful, land of the free!
Sculpture for thee shall immortalize
form;
Painting illumine, end poetry warm;
music devote all her fervers divine
To a heart service at Liberty's shrine
Till all thy gifts doubly precious ahall
be.
Land of the beautiful, land of the free! .
Hail, then. Republic of Washington,
hail!
Never may star of thy Union waXpale!
Hope of the world, may each omen of

Fade in the light of thy destinv still:
Time bring but increase and honor to
thee.
