DR. Barrett, our fund commissioner,

money to pay the interest on the Illinois

StJohn, N. B. of which little is gen.
orally known in the U. s., is increasing
in wealth and population with rapidity
surprising any city in the Union. In
1884 it contained but about $4,000 in
habitants and a recently taken census
shows that it now has nearly $4,000.
Ship building is extensively prosecuted,
while as extensive commercial business
is carried on there, probably, taking into
consideration the size of the place, as any

STATE FAITH.--ILLlNo1s.-The State
Of Illinois is the only one in the Union
IN which the State credit has been seri.
ously tempered with !; or whose creditors
nave had any the least reason to in
ouge apprehensions as to the ultimate
ac,lon Of the Legislature in the prompt
redemption Of its engagements. This is
me natural consequence of the loose and
unconstitutional system in that state
Which admits unnaturalized foreigners,
with no Stake in the country, and owing
allegiance to foreign power, to partici.
Pate IN the election Of her rulers. What
could be expected of a Legislature chosen
y majority Of alien suf1rages! Who
would look among its members for any
special regard for the character and honor
Of the State!
We rejoice 10 see that the Wings in
Me Illinois Legislature are determined to
soIaoat the abominable policy of Loco
socolsm, and to insist npon the maintain
Aace Of the State faith.-N z. Enq.

THE DEAD NAPoLRoN.-The Paris cores.
pendent of the N. Y. commercial, gives the
following singular anecdote connected with
the funeral honors paid to the great Emperor:
"You are aware that the convio reached
Courbevoie on Monday afternoon. In the
night of that day, two men en- bourgeoise, or,
if you will, in plain clothes, presented them
selves on board the Doade steamer. The elder
of them desired leave to approach the Imperi-
al remains. He was refused, but whisper
from him to the officer in command pro-
duced an immediate change. He was instant
ly admitted, and ushered to the PLATFORM
He gazed for a moment, fell heavily on his
knees, and burying his face in his hands, and
resting both on the foot of the coffin, he re-
manned for twenty five minutes, weeping and
in prayer-the former certainly, for this fact
was deluged with tears. When at the end Of
that time he attempted to rise, whether from
emotion or that he was benumbed by the
dreadful severity of the night, or from both
causes together, he was unable, and was OBJ
liged to call for assistance of some seaman
who were at hand, wondering at the specta.
Gle, and who now found that it was Marshal
Soult."

the good of his country.
We never saw an organ-grinder who had a

his own interest.
We never saw an alderman who embraced
the bran-bread principles of diet; nor a man
who drank six whiskey punches over night
who would refuse his bitters in the morning.
We never saw legislator who would vote

effort and ultimate triumph to check the one

Another Arkansas story.-The humorous
correspondent of the N. York Spirit OF the
Times, who signs himself an" does rake up
and get out some of the most laughable stories
that find their way into the public prints
Here is sample. The reader must under
stand that couple of travellers have arrived
on horseback at the door of log-cabin, and
have noticed the word Entertainment" writ
ten in lamp black on board and spelt just as 1t
happened, sticking above the door.
"Can we get breakfast and horses fed here
this morning, sir?" said one of the travellers to
a man who was splitting wood in front OF the
cabin.
"No, don't think you can"
"Why?" ~the

"A Touch ab0ue tie Common Run."-The
editor OF the Reading, Pa. Gazette. gets quite
rhapsodical while describing sleigh ride
he scorns vulgar prose, and breaks out in po-

sample:
From sparkling eyes to drink in drauehts of bliss.
From rosy lips to steal the honied kiss
And whilst tt fair one 'gainst your side reposes

Oh Moses! The same editor winds up with
the emphatic exclamation--"we are not mar.

Sunday Fighting-Our greatest battles
were fought on Sundays, which have heard
accounted for in this way; the French we're for
the most part the assailants, and hence, select.
ing time and place, made choice of the hottest
day, from motives peculiar to themselves; not
because "the better day the better Decd" but
from the circumstance of being under the aus

favorite or patron saint: Vimiero, Vittoria,
the Pyrennees, and Waterloo, were all fought
on Sunday.-Pic.

COL. HARVEY.

This distinguished officer of the U. S. Army,
is said to have been ordered under arrest, by
Gen. Armis tead, for disobedience of orders
We sincerely trust this is erroneous, for the
reputation of the General. Col. Harvey, is
already known all over the Union, by his en-
Florida savages. Col. Harvey, is bold, in
trepid and vigilant oficer-faithful to his trust
an anxious to briag to close, war as dis
graceful by its bad management, as it has been
unsuccessful. For nearly four years the Flori-
da Indians, consisting of three or four hundred
warriors, have laughed to scorn the futile and
puere efforts of the United States. The In
dams have profited by the temporIzing policy
ment, and have hung upon the skirts of the
army, and cut off with impunity, hundreds of
our brave men, and many Of our noblest off,
GERS. Discord, rivalry and party spirit, have
infested our chief officers; and the late admin
istration has encouraged it, by listening to and
toerating it, In fact Mr.. Van Buren, and his
cabinet, have polluted even our noble army,
by their infamous favoriteism.
In their desperate struggles to retain pow
er, they have unwisely sought to pervert
the American army to party uses. 1t was
with this view, that Gen. Scott, was removed,
and Jesup appointed in his stead. For this
purpose, the embezzlement and conversion of
the public stores was winked at, and misman-
agement in the department, extravaganza,
waste and peculation of public money and pub
lie property, were looked over in silence.
Col. Harvey, felt as a warm hearted and
gallant soldier should feel, at the disgrace
brought by such measures on his country'>
flag, and the profession of arms. He deter
mined TO try if he could not change the order
of things by prompt and efficient action, or
perish in the effort. He has changed entirely
the aspect of the Florida war. He has cap
tured some fifty or sixty warriors. and hung
them up in the forest, as warning and terror
to the rest. He has made his name become a
sound of dsmav and terror, to the savages.
He has penetrated into the very heart of the
Everg ladies'. for the first time they were ever
explored, and driven the foe from their most
secure lurking places. He has undergone more
pri, alton and fatigue-encountered more dan
gers, destroyed more Indians, and ran highe
and more glorious career, than any man con
nected with the expedition.
He is the idol of his men because knowing
Inn TO brave; he shares with them the hard
ships, the suffering and the triumphs of thu
war. We trust indeed, that he is not under
arrest. The service is greatly indebted to him

To echo in mirth through thy halls.

Of beauty, with thy varied sheen,
The verdant bower, the endless wildwood,
The river, lake, and prairie scene.

The brave, the beautiful, the free!
How oft amid thy groves we've roved,
Or gathered wild flowers on thy shore;
How oft at night, with those eve loved,
Thy peaceful lake, we've glided DER.
Chorus.
Then here's to thee, Tchula! o! never

There's Mather, with his soul of song,
And chivalry-and Morehouse too,
With his graceful form and witty tongue,
And Worley, with his eye of blue;
And Stansbury, with his quiet smile,
And Hawkins, open, frank and free,
And Wetmore, cheerful all the while;
And Moseby-all are worthy thee!
Chorus.
So here's to thee, Tchula! o! never
May the light of thy gladness grow dim;
Wen drink to thee, Tchula! forever;
To Tchula! fill up to the brim! C.
