one fit for the post. You sheep are cow

The Ass then began III the most mag
nifcent periods;
My fell-o-ow citizens! When the R-o-
man Empire was at the summit of its cor
ruption, 1 do not think such insolence was
ever heard. What my courageous and
heroic friends, the sheep are stigmatized
as 'cowards,' these intelligent and candid
swine are styled Stupid and ig-headed,
and these geese and turkeys, whose gi-
gantic intellects are the admiration of the
known world, are covered with food of
obloquy and vituperation, worthy of the
most corrupt period of the Roman EN-
pire!'
We cannot report the remainder of this
harangue. Suffice it to say that the Ass
obtained the entire sheep vote, pig vote,
and goose vote, and was elected.
O.. MORAL.
This moral teaches that candidates for
Offices should not call pigs pigs.

Wealth of German EmigrantS.

The emigration from Germany to this
country is increasing largely. Captains,
recently at New York, state that all their
passengers have brought money, in coin
and bills of exchange, ranging from $3.50
to s4OO each. The arrival of german emf
grants during the last three weeks, it is
said has added 50, 5000 to the circula-
ton. These emigrants do not remain in
New York, but seem to be well informed
as to the point they ought to strike for,
and, accordingly, they proceed without
any unne cessary delay, to their destina-
ton. Of late years German rarely, if
ever, starts from his country, with the in
tention of settling in America, without
first informing himself Of the best loca-
tons; and he is very well enabled to do
this by the greft pains taken by his more
intelligent countrymen, who have proceed
ed him, in furnishing information through
the medium of books, often prepared for
the press In this country, and sent in Ms,
to their fatherland for publication. This
is noble feature in the German charac-
ter. These sources of information are scat
tered broadcast, and at very low rate,
over the land, to ASSIST the ignorant and
unwary, and to point out the shoals and
quicksands that are not generally laid
down in the printed maps of this country.
Surely, this is labor of love, for which
the emigrauts cannot be too thankful. We
cannot resist the pleasure of remarking
that very large majority of our German
emigrnts are industrious, thrifty, and or
derly people. 1t would be an almost end.
less task to sum up the good they have
done to this land. The wealth they bring
is but drop compared with the wealth
they produce. Their coming secures
more gold than Che mines of California;
for while the latter may be exhausted the
results Of continued labor never can be-

LiIhugrapHIY.

The process Of lithographing is based
upon the fact that printing, being large
ly composed Of OIL, aciU nat adlere 10 any
surface acltlch IS acet scltb arater. Every
one knows how utterly impossible it is to
mix oil and water. To lithograph, then,
all that is necessary, is to draw on the
surface of dry slab or stone, with a
greasy crayon, whatever is desired to be
printed A weak solution Of nitric acid
is then rubbed over the stone, which fas-
tens the drawing SO that it cannot be rub
bed of. After this a solution Of gum a.
rabic is passed over the surface, and then
the stone is ready for painting. By means
Of g sponge, water is now rubbed on the
stone, and while yet wet, the mixing roll
Ter is applied. The ink of course ad-
heres to the lines of drawing, because
they are oily, but to the wet stone it does
not, The paper is now laid on: and with
the stone passed through the press the
result being beautiful and exact copy
Of whatever is drawn.
The stone employed for Ethography is
Of peculiar kind of lime and clay nature,
resembling in appearance smooth yell
low hone, yet possessing the quality of
absorbing water. 1t is chiefly found in Ba-
varia, tho there are quarries in England
The Bavarian stones, however, are those
most universally employed, and their i'm
portation is a considerable object in COM
merce. They are worth, in New York,
from 5 to 10 cents per pound.

As they have all passed away,
To receive their righteous reward,
But Scott, the last of the series,
Well show TO him equal regard.
They all were schooled in hard service,
And school have they been 30 the world,
That the lab'rer should have the reward,
An all tyrants from power be hurl'd:
They all labor'd hard for US all,
From the morn oftheir lives, TO old age,
Then let US return unto all,
Equal honor on hlstory's page.
Then shall they be alike honor'd!
Every man of good sense says, why not!
Well rally as we did of old,
And pay the great debt due to Scott
Wen ne'er be ungratefu, ah no
For such eminent service and work,
Bu! we'll vote him Inadequate tribute,)
The lottlest station on earth.
We owe it to that which We have been,
And to that which we may yet be,
To elevate none but the worthy,
To the helm of the great and the Free
Then we'll go for the bray and the good
And who dares say that he's not,
Is unfit for the birth-right of freedom,
And unworthy the great land Of Scott.
He asks but one we'll fought battle,
Who has fought SO many you,
Come young, come old, TO the rally,
And prove yourselves grateful and true:
IT'S the lastthat his gray hairs shall ever,
At the hands of his country desire,
Then we'll join heart and hand in the battle,
And never for Scott will we tire.
