il at all Commensurate with what the influence Of
= well-conducted journal is supposed to be, the
households into which they are received must. In
time, become fntid with the poisonous exbAlations
OF partisan strife. We cannot suppose II possible
that any considerable number Of the people Of any
community can derive temporary qualification fiom
the perusal Of such things, and least Of all that
they can voluntarily surrender their own sense Of
dscency and selfrespect TO such Influences.
u TIKI TArrLER There is no being on the hsbita-

BILE than tattler. Vicious principles want Of hon

he will make them his most bitter enemies by
telling all he knows, he win soon discover TO the
world that he knows but little. Does he envy an
individual His tongue, fruitful with falsehood,
defmes his character. Does he covet favor from
amy one? He attempts to gain II BY slandering
others His approach Is feared, his person hated,
his company unsought and his sentiment despissd

revenge.
REPREnEHsIBLE.--We saw, yesterday, crowd
Of negro boys engaged in throwing stones At each
other, to the annoyance as well as danger Of Pc
destrians. This should be put stop TO, before
somebody has to be carried to the surgeon. Let
the policemen meek these scoundrels and have
them committed to the workhouse for short
term; i might possibly benefit them, both morally
and physically.

ed citizen, who Is engaged in getting up directory
for Washington, informed US yesterday that there
was great deal Of sickness in our midst especial
" In that part Of the city known as the Island.
Chills and fever still prevail, there having been
more cases OFF this fall than has been known pre-
viousy for many years II is anticipated, though |
that so soon as we shall have real old-fashioned |
heavy frost (which must be shortly,) that all such
epidemics win vanish. 50 the doctors think.
DIDN'r Bury Hin ExAcrLY--A day Or two pre-
ceding the Maryland election, an old Democrat

The old fellow waa<rantic He swore Vengeance
ON his unknown tormeneofs & and, putting on his
coat said that be was going straight 70 the Score
tary; but, upon "sober second thought" he /
didn't 20. His natural good humor getting the |
better Of him, he " acknowledged the corn, !" and
joined as heartily as anybody else in the laugh
which succeeded the joke.
THrATRE.--The great play of g Mazcppar will |
be performed tonight at the National" From

fractions We expect TO see a crowd to night to |
witness It's representation. The plot Of the play is
beautiful and on such stage the National, can /
be brought out 70 every advantage
X uSAu'sn BoYs RrJoIciSo,-The alarm Of FIRE /
last night was accustomed by bonfire, lighted by |
the Young Americans, who were celebrating, in |

land. The engines were promptly gotten out as
the fireman is ever supposed to be on the alert
IS A LARGE AND DFLIaHrED AuDIENcr--Such a
one was present last night again at Odd Fellows |
Hall. Tie performances Of the Ethiopian troupe
there being superior to any previous exhibition.
They outdid even themselves, being determined
that our citizens who havo 30 literally patronized
them should not have a thing to complain Of Mt.
Moore, as q commedian in his line has few equals
and no superior; keeping the audience In q roar
Of laughter during the entire evening. The
Banjo trio, particularly, was an Ethiopian gem,
and Mr.. Ms speech to the audience inimitsbe.
The troupe plays In Georgetown Monday, Tuesday,

both places, we say, 20 by all means, IL you wish
to enjoy fne musical, mirth-provoking and very
