SNAIx.-The Baltimore Republican, holds forth il
the following style against his friend of Buffalo:
The Buffalo Republic is still troubled with snaix-
We warn the local editor that he must stop takin,
views through that "horn" or he will wake up SOM
morning and see that monster snak in his boot Hi
last IS the following parody on the lines ADDRESSED
to Seneca Lake, commencing "On thy fair bosom Sill
YER Lake,
On thy fair buzzum, ''Silver Lake.
a snaik fops high his ''sheathing'' tail
While round his cafs head, ripples break
As billows seethe forninst the whale
On thy fair buzzum, ''Silver' stream
The whalemen's voice is echoing far
And, flashing in the suns broad beam
The harpoon gltters in the air.
The waves along thy muddy shore,
Lashed by tho monster into foam,
Curl brisk about the tugging oar
AS fast the whalemen 'lean' for home,
How sweet, at set of sun to view
The Snaiks tale outspreadins wide,
And know tho safest spot for you
Is far from his disturbing tide.
How crowds collect when first the sun
Lights up with light the lake below:
But 10 the snaik-oh see them rum
AS though the devil was in tow.
On thy fair buzzum 'sSilver Lake"
| ne'er, good lack, can pull the oar
For fear of that great <'Perry'' snaik,
That roams thy depths from shore to shore

The Five Hundred.
I'VE left in the Southern part of the town only
hve hundred men, grievously wounded .-Russiaa n

We left in the Southern part of the town on
hundred men, grlevously wounded.--RuSsi
atch
Left to die-left to die
Terror surrounded
Five hundred gallant men,
Grievously wounded
Left to die on the spot
Their arm had defended
Victims of shell and shot,
Fatally wended.
Gone are the soldier band
Lately contesting,
Fiercely met, hand to hand
Foemen investing.
Silenced the battle-cry
Lately appealing,
Lighting the soldiers eye
With loftier feeling.
The guns deep voice is still
The drums sharp rattle
Gone the electric thrill
Walked by the battle.
There they left to die
Terror surrounded
Five hundred gallant men
Grievously wounded.
Home and its joys to them
Sweep like river,
Seem to their dying eyes
Fairer than ever.
Loved voices speak to them
Where they are lying,
Hopeless and helpless
Bleeding and dying.
Quenched in the damps of death
The eye fondly beaming,
Fled with the fitting breath
All their sweet dreaming.

MoNoPoIIEs-One of the greatest nuisances to
which the good people of this country subjected,
is monopoly and just now the thing is in some quar-.
ters becoming the most grlevous of our burdens
Merchants of all descriptions have species of league
among themselves which, like the nominative in
grammar though not expressed is always understoc
by which Ct their set is as it were cut off from
the benefits of civilization if he underseIIs his neigh
bors departs, except within certain limits from the
general schedule of prices. Another form of this
eXtorton is exhibited in the following extract which
we take from exchange:
{" In Boston, on Thursday last, meeting of citi-
zens held at Faneuil Hall TO consider some rem
edy for the present high prices imposed upon the
people by dealers in food and wearing apparel A
good many interesting statistics of the profits made
Gu, of the million were given Samples of loaves of
bread were shown, costing cents and weighing
ounces upon which bakers make 80 per cent. Shoes
were exhibited, the price of which was 50 which
cost 81 25 and Others at 874 cents which cost 40
cents Steps were taken to make combination
among the people to resist these high prices.

An Incident OH the Atlantic.

We copy the following incident from the New
York Sunday Leader. The distinguished Southern
Senator referred to was the Hon. Robert Toombs, of
Georgia, and the "young lrshman' who genteeIly
vndicaed the reputation of his adopted country and
her statesmen is clerk in of the principal dry
goods stores of Columbus, Georgia:
Quite exciting incident occurred on the steamer
Atlantic, on Wednesday, while she was nearing our
port, which is worthy of mention. The cabin pas
sengers were regaling themselves al what is called
''the captains dinner the last dinner on a VOYAGE
previous to reaching port and toass and sentiments
were in vogue After toast had been prop sed by
a distinguished Southern Senator, who has been
spending with his family few months in Europe
he was called upon for speech He gave hasty
mention OF the impression which the different coun-
tries had made upon him through which he had
travelled, Ireland Scotland, England, France Sc
When aluding to the unfortunate condition of the
Emerald lsle through Eng lands tyranny, some Eng
Ilsh snobs who were on board hissed the speaker
from one end of the table The Senator paused
and requested the persons who had hssed 10 stand
up; no one moved.
He then requested, as favor, that those who had
intended to insult him would place themselves in a
single line the upper deck, that the qualification
might be afforded him OF ecturing them on the rules
of gentility; or, if any felt offended his remarks,
10 send their cards at the conclusion Of tie dinner
The distinguished Senator gave them truthful his
tory of England's oppression, which had been only
! withheld from desire not 10 unnecessarily offend
any one on board. The incident was the talk of the
evening, and of the young snobs who had offered
the first insult but who screened himself from notice.
deeming himself in little knot of foreigners, COM
menccd assaiing the Senator as blackguard accu-
sing him of ignorance, &c. A young Irishman, a
nauraliZed citizen OF the United States was present
and TO resent the insults thus cowardly heaped upon
an American Senator, took the young snob by the
nose and gave it genteel wiring, telling him the
same time to hereafter ceremony when allu.
ding to the distinguished men of The country whose
hospitality and protection he was about seeking
Though we may not justify the conduct Of the
lrishman in this case, we narrate the facts in order
that John Bull may see the mprrpriety oi his con-
duct, and learn precisely how he is appreciated when
he becomes insulting in social company composed
of gentlemen of various nations.
