From the State Journal
A few drops of the sincere milk of the
word, for the especial benefit of the
Babes of GTaCC--by sOne of them.'

DaDcS Ol GraCc--Dy 'Une OF lDcMs'
The editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer is
one Of those children who refuse to cry, in the
market place, over the decadeEce of the late ad-
minisralion. The rreverent gentleman relu-
ses TO lament when others mourn, and putting on
the garments Of mockery, and clothing himself
IN sarcasm, he turns upon The weeperS, and deals
them out few words of plain truth, we'll wor-
thy Of the consideration of all. He says:
HOW THEY BLUBBER.
80, that mine head were waters-mne eyes
fountain of tears, that might weep day and
night for the slain of the daughters of Zion."-
SoIOmon'o Song.
There are crying times in Washington about
these days. The Union brings the most sickIy
accounts of whole departments assembling and
joining in a general boo-hoo nj the fate which
has overaken them. The old man Richie is
chief crier. His heart is full (as well as his
pockets) and it overilows like the nundations OF
the Nile. He knows no democracy but the pap.
suckers at Washington, and he thinks by pub.
fishing their tribulaIions the whole nation will
be melted TO tears. Poor man! His time 10
below for himself has yet 10 come. He has
been stuffed 10 replelon with pap, and his paper,
the exclusive organ of the South, has teemed
with government proven1e and abuse. On its
merits as a NATIONAL PAPER it could not have
lived month, but on the good will Of u south
ern administration, backed by the treasures OF
the people, il has grown insolent and fat.
The last crying assembly officially announce
ed by the Union, was that of "Od Cave" and
his loving deputies. 1t must have been an in.
tcresIing sight to see this teSly old yrant, whose
heart, if he ever had any, long since turned in
TO hail stone, trying TO raise u tear. 1t would
take eriernal applications, such as onions
smoke, horse-radlsh, and those applied eternal
ly to "raise the moisture" in such an eye
Iol might as well attempt 10 make ''liger tit
ter" But the clerks, those $1,000, $1,000 and
$4,000 clerks may have felt the ttlillatlons upon
the pocket nerve to such degree, as to really
boo.hoo. Very Iikelyl They had TO whine
themselves into place and it is very proper they
should whine themselves out.
Now if Father Richie supposes the people
care one fig about such kind of troubles a
Washington, he is greatly mistaken. They
do not spend their money, time, and exerIons a
elections, simply that few cormoranls can TAT
ten on the spoils. The great mass of the peo
Pile care nothing about office. All they wan
is good government, and these accounts in tht
would. .be.governmem organ of the groans o
oiicehoIders in Washington are sickly and dis
gushing. Somebody must hold the offices ant
discharge the duties, and under a democrati
administration we claim this should be done b,
democrats. But when The people have in
constitutional way declared for u change, di
game, submit like men, and not go out Of Office
blubbering like lout."

An Old Prediction.

A Washington letter in the New York
Journal of Commerce quotes the following
prediction, the original of which, 10 Latin,
is copied from book in the library OF the
Augustinian Convent, at Rome, published
in 1878:
"Before the middle OF the XIX century,
seditions will be excited every where In
Europe; Republics will arise; Kings will
be put to death, together with the nobility
and ecclesiastics; and the religious will de-
sert their converts. Famine, pestilence
and earthquakes will spread desolatlon over
many cities. Rome will lose her sceptre
by the invasion Of false philosophers. The
Pope will be mads captive by his own
p6ople, and the Church Of God will be plac.
cd Under tribute, divested Of its temporal
possessions. In short time there will be
no Pope. A prince from the North will
overrun Europe with a great army. de.
stroy the republics, and exterminate all
rebels. HIS sword, welded by God, will
vigorously defend the Church of Christ,
uphold the orthodox faith, and subdue the
sfahometan power. new pastor, the
FINAL one, will come by a heavenly sign
from the shore, in simplicity of heart and
III the doctrine of Christ, and peace will be
restored to the world"
