Love AMONG THE AMMALs.-One of our
German citizens, as We have been informed
has dog and COW. between which animals
the strongest attachment seems to exist
The dog regularly follows the cow to the
woods, lies down near while she is grazing
and carefully protects her, resenting the
slightest intrusion of man or beast. In re
turn, If any other dog pitches into her friend

ly parts the invader to Eight. They are in
separable companions. We have heard fire.

cred, bound hand and foos, into the hands of
the Philistines. This adverse result is al
tributable entirely to the heavy foreign vote
in the LIST, 9th and 7th wards. where a large
number of Irish voted who never lived,
nor expect to live in the city. The 9th
ward was taken by the Dutch bodily, and a
native citizen was hardly allowed to vote at
all. A large number Of Irish and Germans
were naturalized and turned loose in
these devoted wards, and the result is
seen in the table appended. We have Sc
cured majority of the Council, which gives
US control of all the important measures of
city policy and government, but the means
of carrying them out are badly cramped by
our defeat. az.
1t is said by those who were in position
to Judge accurately that, at least three hun
dred illegal votes were polled. However
this may be, is certain that no means were
spared to carry the election. With the vote
usually given in the different wards. we were
safe for all the officers, but the heavy increase
knocked ali calculations and all precautions
"into a cooked hat" eins
The gain Of the Council takes most Of the
edge off our defeat, but we feel chagrined al
the result nevertheless. Many of our voters
especially in the Northern Wards, did no
turn out, while every man, who could vote
and many who couldn't, turned out and car
ried our opponents safely over the fence
We feared this result and said two days agt
that QUE danger lay in our own apathay
And so it has proved. Nothing remains Blu

Gloomy Chances OF Taking Sebas tOpols
The London Times. of April has an ar
ticle on the siege of Sebastopol, in which it
SAYS: ts.s
What more chance is there of our taking
Sebastopol during me dog-days than there
was during the dead of last wintert What
more chance is there of taking Sebastopol
next October than there was last October!
In fine. what chance is there of our taking
the place at all, under existing auspices, and
as long as the present estimate of the odds
Of war prevails at head quarters! Has Lord
Pasmore any reason to believe that some
thing will be done this April! 1t is for this
April-for the very purpose of being on the
spot, in position, and with over supplies about
us by this month-ihat the allies determined
10 stand the rigor Of Crimean winter in their
then unprepared state. instead of re-embark-
ing af er the failure of the 18th of October.
! ''If this month is passed in inaction, in va
porting, in waiting idly upon Providence, or
in expecting successes that will never come
| of themselves, it is evident that the fearful
sacrifices ofthe winter campaign will be en-
triely thrown away, and our army might as
well have passed the winter pleasantly on
the Dosphorus, and returned to the Cr;meu
last month as fresh as il it had just come
| from barracks in England.

SENSIBLE TO THE LAsT.-The editress of
the Ladies' Repository, just started at Rich
mond, talks +" like book" all about kissing,
and will find many subscribers to her notions
on this subject, if MOTTO her Repository:
"Kisses are an acknowledged institution.
It is as natural for folks to like them as it is
for water to run down hill. except when it
is SO cold it freezes and can't run at all, Kis-
ses, like faces Of philosophers, vary. Some
are hot as coal fire. some sweet as honey,
some mild as milk, some tasteless as long
drawn soda. Stolen kisses are said to have
more nutmeg and cream than other Sorts
AS to proposed kisses. they are not liked at
all. We have made it cur business to in
qnre among our frie nds, and they agree with
US, that stolen kiss is the most agreeable
that is. il the theft is made by the right per-
son. Talk of shyness and struggling-no
wonder, when some bipeds approach it is
miraculous thut ladies do not 60 into convul-
sions. We do not speak altogether from ex-
perence, but from what we have heard 9TH
ers say. We have been kissed few times
and as we are not very old, we hope to re.
ceived many MORE"

GREEN RIVER Lock BRoKE.-The lock on
Green River at Hines and Carsons, Wood
bury, about l25 miles from the mouth, has
both of its gates down. Repairs cannot be
made in probably much less than two months.
The steamers Eaves and White River are
above the lock, and of course cannot get
down till the repairs are made. The Logan
is below the lock. This accident is pecu.
marty unfortunate at this time, as there is q
great oeai OF produce to come down and
merchandise to 60 up. But we trust every
e1er''on will be used to speedily repair the
lock.

Hon. j. C. breckenridge.

This gentleman who W as considered the
leader OF the administration party in the
House at the last session Of Congress. has
been making speeches in the interior Of Ken-
lucky on Native Americanism.f His late
speech at Cynthiana Is very ably reviewed
by MIR. Morey, of The News, who dissects
the ex-member's logic with great deal of
force and acumen. Mr. Breckenridge first
maintained that the Know Nothings itthe
North were downright Abolitionists. The
News says.
SHE assumed, as the foundation Of his ar
gnment, and as the sole ground the
charge of abolitionism against the KNOW
Moth ng order at the North, that opposition
to the Nebraska bill and abolitionism were
one and the same; that every opponent of
the bill was an abolitonist. This position
we fatty deny. We assert that it is mon
strous Misrepresentation. What is in the
Nebraska bill that its opponents object toi-
1t is simply and alone the repeal of the Mis-.
souri, Compromise. They are in favor of
that Compromise and against its repeal
that is head and front OF their offending
"Does that constitute man an Abolit on
ist! If so, then, for more than thirty years
preceding the year 1854, all the citizens of
the United States of all political parties
both North and South were Abolitionists;
for until the session OF Congress of 1884
wien il enteredinto the head of Stephen A,
Douglas, to repeal the Missouri Com promise
no one ever thought of disturbing ton the
contrary, il was approved and sustained BY
the entire country. yi-eesl -
'If to be in favor and to support the Mis-.

MIR. B, so confidently asserted before this
community. then James Monroe the Demo.

triots, who devised it for the pacifcation o
the country and the salvation of the Union
and General Jackson, and John C. Calhoun
and all the illustrious statesmen of all par.
ties, who, during more than.a quarter of .

THE LANGUAGE OF PINE WooD.-In North
Carolina it is frequent among her forests Of
fat pine, for a lover in distress to send the
fair object of his affections bit of its staple
vegetable production, with an eye painted
upon it. Itsignifies 81 pine." If favorable
to him, the lady selects from the wood pile
the best and smoothest specimen of knot
this signifies 81 pine not" But on the other
hand, if she detests him (there is no middle
grounds, between detestation and alteration
with young women) she burns one end OF
his message; and this generally throws the
young man into despair, for it means 81

We agree with the Louisville Courier in
its remark-"it is not to our credit that the
first OF May is no longer day of fete and re-
joicing." We are a warm admirer of May
Day festivities. Indeed. we love everything
which brings happiness and innocent joyful
excitement, to children. "May day"is as.
ISOLATED with too many delightful recollec-
tons Of boyhood with us-of flowers and
beauty, of mimic courts and mimic courtshiPs
beneath the arms Of great forest trees-to
quietly permit US now to see the day pass by
almost without the happy beating Of child's
heart in applause. We wish to enter pro-
test-a protest Of loved memories, and Of love
for childish happiness, and in the name of the
trees bursting into their new life of green
leaves, and of the flowers blooming and blush
ing in every field and forest, and of the sing
ing birds straining their throats in melody
and of the sweet smelling wild grape blossoms
enriching the air and of the very fresh air
itself-a protest in the name Of these things,
against letting that day pass unnotced, which
was won't to bring the children in compan-
ionship for few hours with all these beau
ties of the forest.
Why then have we had none OF the old
fashioned May parties this year! Why are
not the children ranging the woods, wild and
free as birds for day, though trammeled fol
the hour by the strictest and devotedest al.
legiance ever paid by subjects to queen!
Why may not their voices ring clear mid the
forest trees with well learned speech, and the
glad shouts of happiness! Good heavens
are they all men and women, and even now
placed in the lacings Of steady behavior, cor
rect department. and sober carriage! Or j:
there poison in the air of sweet smelling ma
ture, and impropriety in trees, flowers ant
birdst Well, well-it matters but little.
the children are not themselves mutinoui
for May Day, it is none of our business
but if the prudery of parents or teachers il
keeping down the May Day spirit, we fee
like holding them to bitter accountability
In such case, il the young 'uns are dispose'
to rebel, let them call on us for aid. Littl
as we might all be individually, yet collec

such May Day despotism.

CT The Virginia election will take place
Thursday, the Gath day of May. Wise brags
that he will receive $4,000 majority. He
says he has spoken $50 hours during the can
vass, thus far. Sam thinks that he will beat
Wise by about 10000. If Wise has time
to speak $50 hours more, we think Samwill
not come far off from realizing his boast.
