OUR BABY.

When the morning, half in shadow,
Ran along the hill and meadow,
And with milk-white fingers parted
Crimson roses, golden hearted
Opening over ruins hoary .
Every purplemorning-glory,
And outstanding from the bushes
Singing larks and pleasant thrushes-
That's the time our little baby,
Strayed from Paradise, it may be,
Came with eyes like Heaven above him.
y, We could not choose but love himA

THE PoIITICs on WASHINGTON.

AT this particular juncture, when it appear,
to be the purpose of prominent leaders of on,
party in this country TO get up Juror of pre-
JUDGE against the present wise, liberal, anC
conservative Administration, as not being
sufficiently energetic in sustaining and pro
noting the spread of liberal principles il
foreign countries it may be well to adver
frequently to the precepts and example 9
Washington, as exhibited in his writings, anC
in the policy of his administration, which
stands forth in history as the grand and sig
nally suspicious Inauguration of this republic
upon its introduction into the family o.
nations.
In letter to Patrick Henry, dated Gil
Oct, 1895, he says:
"a crisis is approaching that must, if it can.
not be arrested, soon decide whether order
and good government shall be preserved, OF
anarchy and confusion cnsue. / can most
religiously aver have no wish that is incom-
patibe with the dignity, happiness, and true
interest Of the people of this country. My
ardent desire is, and my aim has been, as far
as depended upon the executive Department,
to comply strictly with all our engagements,
foreign and domestic, but to keep the United
States free from the political connexions
with every other country, to remain indepen-
dent Of all and under the influence of none.
In word, want an American character, that
the powers of Europe may be convinced we
act for ourselves, and not for others. This
in my judgement is the only way to be
respected abroad and happy at home; and not
by becoming the partsans of Great Britain
or France, create dissensions, disturb the
public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps for
ever, the cement which binds the Union"
In a letter to General Lafayette, dated Mount
Vernon, 18th Dec, 1898, referring to our
and delicate relations with the
French Government, ''the Father of his
country" still more explicitly and emphatical-
y says:
son the politics of Europe l shall express
10 opinion, nor make any inquiry who is
light or who is wrong. wish well to all
men. Ny politi are plain and simple. |
hink every nation has Il right to establish
hat form of government under which it con-
elves it may live most happy; provided it
nfracts no right, or is not dangerous to others;
md that no Government ought to interfere
With the internal concerns of another, except
or the security of what is due to them

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGIsLATURE.--ln
accordance with a resolution which has pass
cd both houses, the Legislature will adjourn
sine die on Monday neXtthe lst day of March,
after a protractcd session of five months.
We believe it is the longest session ever held
in the State. Much legislating has been done,
whether for good or evil remains TO be seen.
Among the most prominent measures, is the
General Internal Improvement Bill, the Leg
islative Bill, and the Congressional Appor-
tionment Bill. The former, from all we can
learn, will be generally appreciated by the
people, although, on our part, we would have
preferred that it did not cover quite so many
enterprises and contemplate so large an IS
suance of State Bonds. The Legislative and
Congressional Bills appear to have given very
serious offence to the opposition, and will nc
doubt in the next canvass form the staple OF
a great many very interesting articles. A:
regards the Congressional Districts in Eas
Tennessee, we are very well satisfied witt
the arrangement, although we believe thai
upon strict party vote we are slightly il
the minority in this, the Sd District But W,
would much rather it was that way than tC
have large majority in one end of the Dis
trict upon which we could not rely. W.
have not seen the bill laying off the State
into Senatorial and Representative districts
as It passed on its final reading, and cannot
tell what alterations, or if any, were made
from the shape in which it was originally
presented. We will publish it as soon as il
comes 10 hand.

RATs--Digby cnquired Of Peter, "whats
your opinion of rats"
Pete replied, "a rat is a long tailed animal
and consequently tail bearer, and should be
exterminated with all other tale bearers
This fault is, not in being the rat but in
carrying the tail, which is a nuisance not to
be borne, and therefore the whole tribe of
tale bearers should be cut of"

The Detroit Advertiser pepetrates the fol-
lowing: T. bought gallon of Otard at

wrote his name upon card, which happened
to be the seven of clubs, and tied it in the
handle. Alderman G. coming along, and OBJ
serving the Jug remarked, "Thats a very
careless way of leaving that liquor" "Why
500" said Tom. "Why!" Because somebody
might come along with the eight spot, and
take it. Tom froze to the handle and put out
with it. The Advertiser has been held to
bail for its further appearance

MISSISSIPPI LANDs---A bill has been intro
duced into the Mississippi Legislature pro-
posing to sell 10000 acres of the 100000
granted to the State for internal improve
ments, at minimum price of So per acre,
distributing the sales through De Solo, Tuni-
ca. Coahoma and Bolivar counties. 1t furth-
err proposes to issue script to these counties,
and to Issaquena and Washington, for 6OO,-
600 acres of swamp land, also granted to the
State by the General Government, to be sold
by the levee commissioners at 80 cents per
acre. The bill also provides that after the
LIST of October, 1853, the residue of the swamp
lands is to be brought into market at 81 per
acre, and from the proceeds of which the in
ternal improvement fund arising from the
sale of that part of the 100000 acres provd-
ed for in the bill shall be Reimbursed with
interest at per cent. per annum.

INVASION OF ESGLASD BY FRAxcE.-The
late news from England, in relation to pro-
bable war between that country and France,
is the subject of general remark. The New
York Commercial Advertiser, in referring to
the military movements in England, says:
ave do not think that any of these move
ments in England have any special reference
to France, or originate in anv fear of rupture
with her. 1t is more probable, we conceive,
that Great Britain has resolved to give a
strong negative answer to Russia and Aus
tina, which powers have more than once al
most demanded that England shall no longer
be refuge for political offenders; and is dis
posed to show those despOtisms that she is
quite prepared to stand by her refusal to
comply with the demand"
In confirmation of this idea, the London
Standard and the United Service Gazette
state that it is the intention of Louis Napo-
leon to reduce the army by abolishing the
system of CONSUMPTION.

ELEMENTS OF OUR POPULATION. Rchelieu
Robinson has asserted in public lectures,
that there are, of Irish, alone, in the United
States, 100000. The Census of 1850,
which is quite as good authority, says that of
foreigners and their descendants, of all kinds,
embracing all emigration since 1890, when
the first census was taken, there are now in
the United States, 435O0OO. More than
half Of these are Of German and ether races
than the Irish. We have, therefore indie
pendent of blacks, bond and free, and foreign
races, native born or emigre, numbering
together about 100000, native population
OF 100000, or 100000 over all combina-
lions. Politicians who truckle for foreign
votes, might well ponder on these facts.

The Baltimore News forcibly says---"The
great aim of the opposition journals is, at
this time, to divide and conquer. There is
no hope of their re-uniting the scattered frag-
ments of the loeOfocO party, broken as ithas
been, into as many pieces as there are States,
by the recent disunion position it has taken.
The whole whig party, by the true course it
has adopted, in regard to the compromise
measures, has secured what was lost to their
opponents, by the vascilating of ma
ny of its leaders and by the utter reputation
Of these very measures, by the democratic
caucusses ut the beginning of the session of
Congress"

The editors of the Memphis Eagle & En-
quirer after giving an account of the recent
earthquake in that city, cogitate rs follows:
As general rule, we are opposed to hea-
Wv earthquakes; but we are almost tempted to
wish that one would come along through
North America, s,rong enough to arouse GER
tain antedluvian individuals to the fact, that
printers have mouths to feed, bodies to clothe,
Though not many clothes to body,) wives to
dress, children to educate, dues to encounter
bills to meet, preachers to pay, and charities
to tug at their hearts, as well as Others. -
Some people think that printers pay their
debts with fair promises, grow fat on pults
and pi, and get tipsy or nothing at all! We
humble trust all such may bequaked out Of
their error
