How They Sauirm!

In one of the old heightened epicureau
works upon cookery, we CHANGED when much
younger than we are now, to read recipe
for frying cells. AS nearly as we can recol-
lect, it ran thus: "First catch your cells
skin them Immediately and while yet alive
place them in frying-pan of hot lard, put
the pan over hot fire-and fy!"
We were Mortified, and hoped never to live
to see the recipe carried into practice. But
the act was committed yesterday in the Hall
of the House of Representatives. sorry
are we to relate, the deed was done by our
Republican friends and the true Administra-
ton Democrats.
There they had the poor Rice eels-twen-
ty Of them-frying and squirming in their
agony the whole day! 1t was suggested at
first, that the Kansas-Nebraska frying-pan
was not sufficiently large to contain the
whole batch; but it proved that the first eel
placed in the pan-the Speaker-had writhed
and cringed himself into so small space,
that there was abundant room for all of
them.
We left them at four o'clock-cooking
slowly but surely.
P.S. An "outsider" has just called in to
suggest to us that Holland, of Shakopee,
should be indited under the Statute which
Furnishes cruelty to animals!

A correspondent Of the Philadelthfa Bull

lsion entitled, "President's messa0e. (not) b,
rankin Pierce" in which, with much vii

In our Indian territories,

We've had trouble and confusion
Trouble and confusion awful,

by the shores of the Pacific,
By the rushing Mississippi,
BY the OregoT's swift waters.

BY the muddy streams Of Kansas

And Pm confidently hoping
That the tribes will soon be ailenced.
Silenced, crushed and cafawampussed.
But, to make the peace enduring,
propose that every 80 der
