LAUoHABLE.- Of the Louisville
Journal thus hits off Brough, the Locofoco
editor Of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Brough
went to look through the big Telescope they
have in Cincinnati. Prentice says:
He took his seat and began his astro-
nomical observations There were several
gentlemen standing near him, who were
greatly edited by the running commentary
be kept up on what he saw. He recoiled
from the telescope after he had looked into
it moment, and swore he saw the ugliest
thing ever made. Again he looked and
said: L see something that looks like a
man--no it's more like baboon dressed up
in human clothes. It's got ears as big as
old Smiths jackass. Jehu what an ugly
mouth it looks as if it had fed on nothing
but green persimmons and horse radish for
month. Its eyelids keep falling down as
if it was afraid to look an honest man in the
face. One eye squints, and the other jumps
abou. like pea ON a hot shovel. The crit
ter's bumps are awful, the lying bump sticks
out like wen, and the stealing bump is SO
big that he'd make mighty bad customer
for bank. I'll swear that if that is the
man in the moon I'm looking at the old fell
low had better wear mask. Mr. Mitchell.
continued Brough, taking bis eye from the
telescope, is that the man in the moon As
Brough very innocently put this interroga-
ton to the Professor, the whole company,
which had been convulsed with laughter
while listening TO the editors brilliant astro-
nomieal remarks, roared aloud For FIVE

cant as am apple dumping al the uproarious
customers, wondering what had got into the
fellows. At length one Of the company hay.
ing become sufficiently composed said -
why, Broagh, you're hoaxed.'
'Hoaxed T repeated Brough, looking as
flat as one of his own editorials.
Yes, hoaxed, replied the astronomer
you've been looking at YOURSELF
And this was true, for some wag had
slipped looking-glass into the tube, and
poor Brough, instead of describing the man
in the moon, had given pretty faithful de-
serip,ion Of his own appearance. He pulled
his hat down over his ugly eyes, rammed his
fists into the depth of his breeches pockets.
and, hanging his head in his usual way, left
the observatory muttering curses against as
tronomers, telescopes, and men in the moon.
DORIS release from the State Prison is a
fortunate occurrence for him, and of course
gives great satisfaction TO his immediate adhe-
rents. district justice had been dealt to him,
be would be kept in prison, subjected to all the
restraints ard deprivations of criminal of the
baser sort. He ought TO be grateful for the
mercy that has been extended 10 him, and re-
joice in his insignifcance, which has been bis
best friend. We trust that he has left the
walls Of his cell, wiser and better marl-and
that his example will not be lost on other as
piring demagogues. His fate teaches US that
The leader OF lawless mob in this country, al
though he may achieve noiorety, will never
be honored or respected, even by his fellow
men-but will be despised and condemned by
all good and thinking men, as an ambitious, but
weak and unworthy citizen OF The Republic.
