He being ab-? sent; I commenced a cliat with his clerk, when a good looking "cullud pussun" - t>*ered, doffed his castor, and said : "Mass' Bob, kin you lend me a qtinr^ter till dis afternoon, and I pay him, . sartin ?" Mass' .Bob applied his dexter to his vest pocket, but made no ''sign." I turned. "Well, Buck, you look tolerably honest, but as I don't know you, if you will give inc security 1 will lend you the quarter-" . liis eyes heightened as he asked : "Mass' Bob will go my security ?" "Yes," replied Bob. I forked over. Some time afterwards, Ending the same way, as I was about to enter the office, the identified buck stood before me. "Rur-k. where's my quarter? Yon didn't pay me as yon promised ? . "No, sali, but I gib yon security." "Well, but I waut you to pay me, I lent you the quarter." "Dat's true, sah, but it am de clistom down here to zaust de security fust. The Man who wont pay the Printer. May ho never bo permitted to kiss a pretty woman. May lie have sore eyes, and a chestnut burr for an eve-stone. May his boots leak, his gun hang fire, and his fishing line break. May one thousand night-mares trot quarter races over his stomach every night. May his coffee be sweetened with flies, .and his sauce seasoned with spiders. May he be 6hod with lightning, and romnelled to wander over gunpowder. May lie be bored to death with boarding school 'misses practicing the first lessons in music, without the privilege of seeing his tormentors. "John," said ft grocer to bis clerk, "did you say that three dollars of that currency was counterfeit ?" "Yes, sir; and if you'll come to.the drawer I will show you which are genu* inc and which are not." "It is no matter, John ; I don't want to know ; let them remain mixed up with the others; and, John I think that milk will bear an extra gallon of water, tbis morning; and the whiskey, too, JoIid, is too high proof, still." "But, sir, 1 reduced it yestgrday, as you ordered." "Never mind ; it will bear one more gallon to the barrel; and, John, ^ little more sat.d in that brown sugar will not he noticed; and, John, mix more of that pea and bean coffee with the old govern-, ment Java. 1 approve of otir people using home products." John was somewhat amazed, but he couldn't afford to lose the situation. There is a girl in Troy whose lips arc so sweot that they stick together every morning by the honey they distill, and she cannot open her mouth until she has parted her lips with a silver knife. She will be a treasure to her husband, not only on account of her sweetness, hut because she can occasionally keep# her . mouth shut.

At? interview on the FREEDMEn's buREAU bill. The Washington correspondent of the New Orleans Crescent communicates to it the following account of an interview between the President and General B. F. Bntlcr: The interview was lengthy, extending over one hour and a half, during which time the notorious Benjamin employed all the arts of which he is capable to impress the Executive mind. Ido not pretend to report the conversatioo verbatim, but preseut the substance of it, and in some parts the exact words employed. I have also good reason to know that the Crescent is the only journal which has received accounts of this important interview. I may promise that Butler has bcco lor sonny r me rrcquenung tne juaci" ical haunts, and, although holding no official position, is recognized as an effi cient wire-puller. The President was not astonished, therefore, when a card was brought in, requesting a few minutes' tete-a-tete) but having been wearied by repeated interviews on this same subject?the signing of the Freedmen's B.ureau Bill?Mr. Johnson had become exhausted and pctulont, and said in his expressive manner, "when did he coihg ? Well, let him come in." After being seated face to face with the President, the "hero of New Orleans" laid out his case in full, urging the approval of the bill, and s-ggesting its adoption as the basis of a compromise between the Capis tol and the White House, The President, with his usual imperturbable manner, listened to the entire rigmarole of the politician, and theu answered him with the words of the statesman ; words that yvere doubtless immediately reported fo his Radical friends in waiting: "Gen. Butler, you are very well versed in all the astute theories now urged in the Capitol, but let us leave this flim-flam and come down to plain common sense. We fought this "battle for the Union ; our entire course during the warjwas an endeavor to restore the States to their constitutional positions; we tried to do so in Georgia, and I ask yon wonld yon not have received Georgia during the war as a State of this Union bad she sent a representative to uongross ? Wherever 1 found a green spot of loyalty in Tennessee I tried to sustain it, and eudeavored to obtain a representation for it. If they were States then, why arc they not States now '{ You have appointed judges over them, you collect taxes in thcin, and you refuse tlicm representation. Why, they have not even a delegate like the Territories. Their voice?the vote of eleven millions of people?cannot be heard in the National Capitol. This is hard and unjust. Are you afraid of a few Southern members? "Why not admit those who can take the oath and send the rest home to have their places filled by other men ? You think to soothe mc by admitting the Tennessee delegation, because 1 happen to belong to that State, but the rights of every State of this Union are equally dear to me. Your party talks very much of supporting my policy, but when it comes to voting, you follow a different course. You talk of my kingly conduct, "ot losing my head this is almost equivalent to inciting people to assassinate ine. If you proceed in this maimer, a revolution will not be far dis-1 taut. Iu the name of God. when is this to 6t.op ? This bill secures them?the Tie* groes?all they ought to have, and a litr tic more, too. I do not say whether I will sign the bill or uot." After Andy has once expressed his opinion, he has a peculiar manner of shuttting himself off from the further conversation of the speaker, aud this mauner he adopted on ! the prescut occasion During the interview he had continually used the word General with a slightly satirical tone." Twelve Rebellions in the United States. Since the organization of the federal government twelve attempts have been made to resist its authority. The first was in 1782?a conspiracy of some of the officers of the federal army to consolidate the thirteen States into one, and confer supreme power upon Washington; the second, in 1787, called Shay's Insurrection, in Massachusetts; the third in 1794, cal.ed the Whiskey Insurrection of Pennsylvania; the fourth in 1814,by the Hartford Convention; tin- fifth in 1820, on the question of the admission of Missouri into the Union; the sixth was a collision between the legislature of Georgia and the federal government, in regard to the lands given to the Creek Indians; the seventh was in 1830, with the Chcrokccs in Georgia; the eighth was the mcniorablc nullification ordi nances of South Carolina, in 1832 ; the ninth was in 1842, in llhode Island, between the suffrage association and Stale authorities; the tenth was in 1856, on the Dart of the Mormons, who resisted tlio federal government; tbe eleventh John Brown's raid ; the twelfth, secession in 18G1.
