Button HOLES ON Born SIDES.-A gentleman
in Charleston, who entertained good deal of
company at dinner, had black as an attendant,
who was native Of Africa, and never could be
taught to hand things invariably to the left side
of the guests at table At length his master tho't

the coats were then worn in Charleston single

him always to hand the plate to the button hole
Side. Unfortunately, however, for the poor fell
low, the day after he had received this ingeni-
Gus lesson, there was among the guests at dinner
a foreign gentleman, with double breasted coat,
and he was for time completely at stand. He
looked first at one side OF the gentleman's coat,
then at the other, and finally, quite COMPOUNDED at
the outlandish make of the strangers garment,
he cast despairing look at his master, ara ex-
claiming in loud voicr, ''Buttons on both sides,
massa," handed the plate right over the gentle
mans head.

GREAT ADYERTIsENIENT.-We believe the
greatest advertisement ever given out to any
Printers in tins country, is that lately given by
the Corporation to the Evening Post, and the
New Era, of property to be sold for Assessments
That advertisement was published once week
for thirteen weeks, and comes to over THIR-
TEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, or six thou
sand five hundred dollars each. This is truly
what is technically called 'Ffat" advertisement,
and the beauty of it is, that it promptly paid,
no running Il second time,-the Comptroller
gives his warrant on the Treasurer, which is
paid, if required, in hard cash. We do not
complain of this,-on the contrary, we are graf
flied that it falls to the lot of the profession
casionally to receive reward. Almost always,
political favors fall in every direction except into
the hands of printers.-.N Y. Fee Express.

Corruption Defeated The corrupt scheme of
Van Buren,, Kendall, (and his new ally, Doctor

was an atrocious conspiracy, designed to promote

to be 'charged" and sur-charged, with their for

What's in a name? Names are mere bubbles
which, like those made by sportive boys, float
upon a crude or dense medium; yet political bub-
bles, raised by artful demagogues, are sometimes
carried upon the bosom of troubled atmosphere,
for a considerable period; before they explode, as
they ultimately must.
Dignity the evil Spirit of Mobocracy, )" which
renders some persons savage than the beast
of prey, who quietly seeks repose after having
| glutted the natural cravings of hupger-dignify
| that spirit-or club of Jacobins, possessing the
unparalleled effrontery to dictate measures for
the action of the partisan head of nation, who
| is in pursuit of return favor-with the name of
| democracy" and instanter you convert them
into patriots and saints, albeit their hands may
be crimsoncd with the innocent blood Of their
| fellow-citiZens
Brand the sainted name of Washington, with
! the title of sFederalisto-though Eswe are" as
jefferson said, ''all fcdcralists; all repub-
| licansn-and you have, in these degenerate days,
despite the lustre of his virtues and patriotism,
e'damned him to everlasting fame"
Should not these truths at present self-evident
to every common observer, induce every intellI-
gent man to probe little below the mere sur
| face of names.
Has that man, who, ''if he had been of age
of mature judgment-during our struggle for in
dependence, would have been tory"-that is,
would have kept the American people under the
iron sway of the royal Guelphs-has he any spe-
cial claim to tbs name of s'Democrati"
Has he, who so boldly Wanted, E'that if he
had a drop of g Democratic blood in his veins,
he would let it out"-any claim to the title he so
heartily, and no doubt honestly contemned?-
Certainly neither have.
How many thousands are there in the same pre-
dicamcnt with those who never served thtir cO1r1-
try in any station, and yet occupy the highest
seats in the temple of modern democracy" car
ing not fig for the welfare or happiness of the
people-diligently, however, caring and provi-
ding for themselves and their friends Names
are mere bubbles
Very little trouble and observation is requisite
on the part of the people, to make all this pal
pably manifest Let US conjure them to devote
small portion of their time to the consideration
of the subject of transccndant Importance, both
to themselves and their children, and they will
not fail in arriving at the truth.

The intended "SucceSSor."-If the intcnde-
Usuccesscr," Benton, had the bumps of mend
dacity and acquisitiveness so strongly developed
in his Younger days, it does not appear to have
diminished since he has been honorcd with seat
in the Senate of the United States with the
seroom-mate" Of his youth.
Who is not familiar with his celebrated Cast
ROOM letter to Ritchie, in which he so fervent-
Nv, vet so deploringly describes the aBt-republi-
can gorgeous furniture" of that room in the
white house, whilst occupied by MIR. Adams
when as Paddy truly said, ''the devil thing at
all was there in it." Besides,
1t should never be forgotten what "seven
league strdes'' the Colonel made on the Sd of
March 1889, towards st. Louis, Missouri,
which he had reached in short time, as 10
have enabled him, between II o'clock at night
and sunrise next morning, to return to his seat in
the Senate, and charge the people double mil
age
All the bumps-the bumps He could
not resist the inclination TO Acquire money; and
upon the principles laid down by certain philoso-
pliers, he is not to blame for those irrepressible
natural propensities Still, it does not follow,
that our room doors and money safes should not
be more securely fastened or that he should be
charged with the safe keeping of the public funds
under the Sub-treasury act, when he becomes
Van Buren's successor.
