uPrentice, ofthe Louisville Journal, 10 after
Col WIN. H. Polk with a sharp stick. Prentice
says: "Biil Polk" is trying to induce Mr.. Pierce
to appoint him Minister to Lima. Bill is look
ing up. He was once glad to have the office
Of Charge d'Afaires. BY the way. when he
was Charge to Naples he spent q large portion
Of his time in Paris. II he were to 90 as Minis.
ter to Limahe would spend his time just where
he could get the best liquor on the best terms.
He has q very decided turn for the most inspir-
ing Of beverages. As long as he lives, be must
have a cask Of good brandy for his neighbor, and
when he dies, "a clause will probably be found
in his will, directing that his body shall be en-
balmed in another cask.-Crescenk.
Now, "Bill" was q schoolmate of ours, and
although he is a Democrat we don't like to see
him villifed. It is true, he has some great po-
litical sins upon his shoulders relative to his
former Chargeship but when it comes to BRAN
dy, we think Prentice should not be hard upon
him, for 10 one is b better judge Of the pizen
than that witty editor.

Judge Burk.--Tn the last Advocate, this gen.
tlemau has a card, thanking the eighty.three
voters who gave him their SURFACES at the late
election. We make the following extract:
"The candidate was announced in The local
democratic gaaer here, with request in note,
that it shouf&Be reflected in the democratic
organ ofthe State-the Courier of New Orleans;
that paper was also by letter requested to
announce. 1t never did so until the very latest
hour, and in The French language. The conse-
quence was that the announcement never got
air beyond the range of circulation Of the local
paper. The candidate was pretermitted, evaded
or suppressed by the other ~paper-which sedu.
lousy inflated the nomination Of the other
candidates. The other adverse or neutral pa
pers were not sought, because the candidate
was not adverse (to democracy nor neutral,
and although it be said politics not involved in
that election, get no man believes It, and however
he did not choose to be misunderstood, or to
leave it even inferred, that he was neutral OF q
wing, on or off the Bench, anywhere at any
time"

The Nep Orleans Poste6ss Appointment
In 1898. q young man was serving his time in
the Office Of the Nashville (Tsnn.) Republican,
to learn the art of printing. He was studious,
industrious and energetic, and to our know
ledge mainly devoted his leisure hours to read
ing and composition. for he was poor and fully
aware that upon his WI sxertions depended
his success and prosperity in life. His name
was W.. G. KENDALL, who has just been ap-
pointad Postmaster at New Orleans; and we
take it for granted that be will make a good
aud faithful public servant, from the fact Of his
rising from obscurity BY toll, study and probity,

Nuts for Uncle Tom.-At a funeral of an
aged and faithful slave, which recently took
place at Lynchburg, Va, FIVE hundred colored
persons attended. Nearly all of these were
slaves, who had been released from labor by
their masters, in order that they might pay the
last tribute Of respect to fidelity, honesty, and
duty well discharged. In the procession there
were also some dozen private carriages of the
citizens, sent by their owners as a token of their
respect to fidelity, however humble may hsve
been the occupation in which it was exhibited.

The NeD Quarters Of Doaars.-Thc editor
Of the Philadelphia Bulletin has seen the new
quarter o. dollars issued on the LIST inst, from
the mint under the late act Of Congress. They
resemble the old coin in size, but are somewhat
lighter in weight. The difference by which they
can be recognized, is that the new issue has
rays around the eagle and a spear head at each
side Of the date, neither Of which are found in
the old.

Mount Hernon.-The New York Sun very
appropriately suggests that this site, so dear to
Americans, be purchased by the Government,
to be used as a summer residence for our Pre-.
sidents, by which means it would always be
preserved from decay while our Government
lasted, which it is to be hoped, would De forev-
er. The idea is an excellent one, and we hope
to see Congress act upon it.

judicial Election.-The few returns received
render it almost certain that Judge Slidell has
been elected Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court. Most of the river parishes heard from
have either given him majorities, or are nearly
equally divided. In the Western part of the
State Slidell has no doubt received a heavy
vote. The election seems to have been wholly
uninfluenced by party feeling, in the county,
