A "JMMY" YARD.-An old Democrat
who now support the Cincinnati platform
but who voted an open ticket for JAMES G.
~BtRxEY, took notion that the only way
he could get rid of the enthusiasm which
was so supersbundant that it hurt him, was
to erect pole, and on it put flag. With
this purpose big at his heart he went to
reighboring store to purchase some mus lin
>for a Gag. Selecting piece he found to
his establishment thatitwas i29 cent ayard.
This would never do. II would cost too
much to humor his enthusiasm. at that rate,
40 he offered the merchant "Jimmy" a
yard for i which he finally took, and his flag
NOW aoats in the breeze, being a good re-
,reeeststion of "Tsn cent Jimmy"

BULLY BRooHs PACKED ouT.-Ws have
always believed Brooks to be co,0ardly
scoundrel-that he would not dare to attack
man, unless, like an assassin, he attacked
him when he was incapable of resistance.
Notwithstanding all the buster made about
his numerous challenges to fight duels, we
never thought he would fight a duel, if his
challenge was accepted by man who was
likely to shoot him. Time has demonstra-
ted all this to be true. Mr.. Burlingame, in
a speech in Congress characterized the
assault on Sumner as it deserved to be-
Brooks demanded an apology. Bullingame
made such an one as he thought called for,
still refusing to retract anything he had
said. At first this was pronounced salts
factory by Brooks; but SO afraid was he
that he would be called coward, he and
his friends so grossly misrepresented Mr..
Burlingame's explanation as to compel the
latter publicly to withdraw it altogether,
leaving. the speech to interpret ITSELF
This Of course brought challenge from
Brooks. He could not well avoid sending
= challenge. Well, Burlingame accepted
the challenge, and agreed to meet him at
the Clifton House, on the Canada side of
Niagara Fails, on the next Saturday, at
noon, with rifles at fifty PAGES. Burlingame
is said to be an excellent marksman.--
Brooks determined to back out, and irnme-
diately set himself about finding sufi-
cient excuse. He publishes his reasons in
long communication, in one of the Washing
ton papers. He says he is afraid to travel
through Northern States, for feai Of consta-
bles, mobs, assassins. He is afraid they
will arrest him, or hurt him in some way,
and he therefore thinks he bed better not
The fact is, he is an arrant coward, and
dare not meet an antagonist who has an
equal chance. PoltrooHjS. Brooks had bet
ter retire from public life. i asi,.u
We do not believe in dueling, When
some villain commits an outrage, and an
honorable man characterizes the act in
proper language, we think it is, asking q
little too much to say that the villain should
have the opportunity to slay the honest
man. But we are glad the bully has been
met, and proved to be q coward

ARREST AND CoMMITTAL OF THE PERPE-
TRAITOR. w learn from the Philadelphia
press, that Hollis. who was charged with
coun.orfehing SO extensively the labels Of
Holloway's Pills, has been commi.ed to
Moyamensing Jail for trial in default Of bail,
The examination showed that the immense
sales had long since excited the cupjdity'of
class Of miscrean,s known as "medical
eounierfeiyers." The embellishments Of
Professor Holloway, in every city 10 the
Union had been closely watched. The exlen,
OF their business asceraned, and finally a
system Of counlerfeiIi6g planned Out which,
II exon, and magnitude, bss probably never
been equalled lin this Or any Sihsi country,.

conspira,or, HOLLIS, will tend 10 explode The
whole scheme; all the materiet oi the ras
