An Englishman, Frenchman and American were discussing the merits of painters of their respective coantriee. The American, after listening to all the others had to advance in favor of their countrymen, remarked. " Wall, yes, I gueßi they did some tall painting, bat there was a young fellow in our tillage, and he got a piece of marble and painted it like cork, and darn me if it didn't float."— Augutta Chronicle.
