LIBERTY, ONLY SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1898

LOOK AT THIs.-The following pitiful
excuses are made by the Locofocos for
their recent defeats. 1t would be as we'll
to register them for the benefit Of posteri-
~. The greater part of them are efu-
sions Of the Globe.
When they were so completely routed
in New York last November, Mr.. Van Bu-
rem and the Globe says it was caused by
the influence of the banks, and that there
were local questions which the measures Of
the General Government might otherwise
have exercised. When they were beaten
in Maine, they sounded the first trumpet
for victory when the majority was against
them, and refused, to the last to contradict
it. When their majority of forty in the
Legislature Of Rhode Island was changed
to majority Of forty in favor ofthe
wings, they even claimed that as victory
when they had actually lost eighty votes.
When they were defeated in Connecticut
they said it was occasioned by the panic.
When they were blown up in Bait, they
said their party had gone fishing. They
are likely to stay there. When they we're
compelled to strike their flag in Virginia,
Mr.. Richie says, it was for want of unity
in the loco foco ranks, and also says the
wings may prepare for terrible over
throw next spring. Weare not to be intim-
idated, Mr.. Richie, you may try it. Now
hear what Mr.. Benton says: The issue
of irredeemable paper has severed from
the administration tens of Thousands OF its
former friends. Now we may infer he
does not very well agree with Mr.. Van
Buren, upon that point. We hope he has
no idea of turning wing, if he has, he
will understand there is no room for him.

"THE House THAT JACK BUILT. "A
building Of great size Containing $50
rooms) has been lately erected for the use
of the Treasury Department; when 10! no
sooner are the walls all up than it is dis
covered that they must be taken down a
gain. A Committee Of Congress assisted
BY two able architects, have reported in
substance:
!. That the building is placed where it
ought not to be.
2. That it is not suited to the purpose
for which it is intended.
3. That it is exceedingly ugly.
4. That ifcompleted on the present plan
it will inevitably tumble down.
They therefore recommend that it bt
taken to pieces and built at another place
on better plan. The workmanship, al
ready expended, will be loss of abou
eighty thousand dollars, and it will cos
thirty thousand dollars more to unbuld i,
total loss $4,000.
No one can fail to be struck by the met
aphorical resemblance between this edfice
and the administration itself.

CONGRESS AND THE SUB-TREAsURY BILL.
On the 18th, in the House, the Pre-Emp-
ton Bill was introduced. MIR. Prentiss of
Missi ssippi advocated i in a speech Of
some length with much force and liability.
On the 18th, in the Senate, motions rela-
tive to the North Eastern Boundary, and
the annexation of Texas, were the pre-
vaiing topics. The first was deferred
till the next day, the latter after having
occasioned some excitement between Mr..
Calhoun and Mr.. Preston, was laid on the
table, Ayes "a, Nays IA. A miserably
attended meeting Of Sub-Treasury-ites
having been drummed up in Philadelphia,
their petition was presented by Mr.. Buch
anan. In the House, an attempt was
made to fix the adjournment ofCongress
on the Cd July. 1t failed When the Sub
Treasury Bill has been disposed Of, the
day of adjournment will soon be appoin
ted. Texas and the Presumption Bill oc-
cupied the remainder Of the day. The
latter with amendments was passed, by
vote Of 1O7 to SO, and sent to the Senate
for approval.
On the 18th, in the Senate, the Washing
ton Monument Bill was indefnitele post
poned. The Presumption Bill was re-
ceived, some additional amendments propo
sed and the whole ordered to be printed
and referred to the Committee on Land
Claims. Much excitement was nantes
ted on the Texas question.
Tuesday the 18th ult., has been fixed
upon for deciding the fate of the Sub
Treasury Bill. Much speculation has
been INDUCED in, and many calculations
made relative to its fate. From what we
can CLEAN from different and antagonist
sources we do not think it can pass. The
most unfayorable calculations make tie
on the question, while minute invesiga-
ton Of the whole House, State by State,
and each individual with his politics con-
sdered, now before us in the Washington
Chronicle, gives the following result. A.
gainst the Bill 1873, for it l15. Majority
against it 8. This, says the writer, may
be increased to 10 or l2 by the occurrence
Of some contingencies, and by the happen
ing of some others may be reduced to about
s or even g. The Loco-Foco triumph in
anticipation of its passage will doubtless
be found premature.-Nat. Cou

MIsERIEs OF A BAcHELoR's LlFE.--Poor
fellow! he returns to his lodging; there
may be every thing he can desire, in the
shape of mere external comforts, provi-
ded for him by the official zeal Of his
housekeeper; but still, the room has an
air of chilling vacancy; the very atmos-
phere of the department has dim, unin-
habited appearance; the chairs, set around
with provoking neatness, look reproach-
fully useless and unoccupied, and the ia
bles and other furniture shine with imper-
tinent and futile brightness. All is drea-
ry and repelling. No gentle face well
comes his arrival; no loving hand meets
his; no kind looks answer the listless gaze
he throws round the apartment, as he en-
tiers. He sits to a book-alone; there is
no one by his side, TO enjoy with him the
favorite passage, the apt remark, the just
criticism, no eyes in which to read his own
feelings; his own tastes are unappreciated
and unrefected; he has no resource but
himself, no one to look up to but himself;
all his enjoyment, all his happiness, must
emanate from himself. He filings down
the volume in despair, buries his face in
his hands, and signs aloud, "Ohi me mis-
e+ttm!"

other is least you should hurt me. do

Of you when dead for any culinary pur-
pose, as / would rabbit, or turkey. /
am no cannibal to feed on the flesh ofmen.
Why then shoot down a human creature,
Of whom could make no use? A buffalo
would make better meat. For though
your flesh might be delicate and tender, yet
it wants the firmness and constancy which
takes and retains salt. At any rate it
would not be fit for a long sea voyage.
"You might make good barbecue, it
it is true, being ofthe nature ola Raccoon
or Oppossum; but people are not in a hab-
it Of barbecuing any thing that is human
now. And as to your hide,it is not worth
taking off, being little better than a two
year old colt. So much for you. As for
myself do not like to stand in the way Of
any thing that is huttful. ! am under the
impression that you might hit me. This
being the case | think it most advisable to
stay at distance. Ifyou want to try your
pistols, take some object, tree, or barn
door, about my dimensions. If you hit
that, send me word, and ! shall acknowledge
that If | had been in the same place you
might also have hit me-"

Bah YLON.

1, climbed the cliff crossed the rock
Irod the deserts old
passed the wild Arabian's tents,
The Syrian shepherds fold;
Behind me far all haunts of men
Stretched into distance gray,
When spread before me, lone and wide,
The plain Of Shinar lay;
The boundless plain of far Linjar
Where long ages back,
Abdallah read the silent stars,
And watched their mystic track
Where art thou, gem of the rich earth'
City of far renown,
The glory of the proud Chaldee,
The green earth's ancient crown
Where lies the lake that, cleaning wide,
Gave back thy hundred towers ?
Where are thy gardens of delight a?
Thy cedar-shaded bowers7
Where, whereof, where rolls rapidly
Thine everlasting river,
Past marble gate and columned tower,
Guarding thy walls forever?
There 10 no voice of gladness here.
No breath of song floats by:
hearken-but the morning wind
Is all that makes reply.
Solemn and lone the silent marsh
Spreads endlessly around,
And shameless are the ruined heaps
That strew the broken ground,
Sadly above huge outlines dim,
Signs the lone willow bough-
The last, last voice of Babylon,
Its only music now.
Son of Mundane! by whose hand
The doomed city FELL
The swift feet of whose soldiery
Climbed tower and citadel;
Thou fondest revelry and mirth,
Thou fondest mirth and song,
Thou fondest many banquet fair
And many joyous throng;
Like the death.angel earnest thou,
When men were care.bereft;
And is this lone, waste wilderness
The total thou hast left ?
Oh, glorious were her palaces
And shrines Of fretted gold
Then rose the fame of Merodach,
The house of Belus old
And busy life was in her streets,
Where countless nations thronged;
Light footsteps glided through their homes
And mirth to her belonged;
But prophet voices murmused,
Even in her festal halls;
And angel fingers wrote her doom
Upon the palace.walls.
At midnight came the Persian,
Mingling amid the crowd;
He needed not the beautiful,
He stayed not the proud:
False was her fated river,
Needless her gods Of stone;
He entered at the open gates,
He passed and she was gone;
Her place on earth abideth not;
Memorial she hath none;
Darkness and ruin thou may'st find,
But never BABYLON!
