1t stands for "Fainting Pierce" just as
well, or if you would rather have it, "Faint-
ing Phghter." The coincident is "wery re.
markable."
NoBILITY.-It is claimed for General
Pierce, the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, that he is "inedl dcSceadoRt Of
The family Of PercYs and he DuEe Of Northum-

origin. NOZZLE DEEDsin defence of his coun-
try, have elevated him in the affections of
the people, and he is prouder of that, than il
he had descended from the noblest Duke or
Lord in creation. The poet has well said,
"IIonor and shame from no condition rise,
Act well our pat there all tho honor lies"
