From the Erie pa. Observer.
To a Ginny.Foul.

1hdt comes and squa,cks under my acinder per-
iodikiy, and makes me mad erceedinkly.
You missuble, speckled critter, you!
What'n thunder re you squawking about?
Does anything hurt you bad? Or do you squawk
That way in Ginny, where you come from,
And SO squawks now from educational prejudice?
What'n mischief do you pull your homely head
Out'n from under your wing and squawk for?
What's under your wing to make squawk,
You speckled swine ola berd?
Something offensive, reckon, elsewhise
You'd keep it there, for its looks better hid
What do you get on the fence and squawk for?
DO you see anythink alarmink, you white gilled,
Speckle-feather, squawking fool?
How do you s'pose Il feller can read or rite
Or sleep, or live you discordant, old, busted,
Brass, French horn with all the keys open
And the mouth-piece cracked? [squawking
machine!-
I wish l could pizcn you, you everlastin' per-
petual
Whatre you thinking about?-home?-
You rascally epitome of Ginny war gong
congo tum-tum and conch-shell
And down. east Village brass band!
Dry up you speckled parody of q machine shop!
DO you think that's music, you outrageous vo-
cal atrocity!
You boiler makers eXacerbated echo!
You squawking abstract of Pandemonium.
Do you think feller can afford to furnish boot
jacks,
And SO forth. to chunk you with dasly, dog you?
Mayb you think it's funny, you speckled pagan
of African extraction!
Is your squawking sass! or are you 'fcard of me-

You brazen- n-throated, sheet-ron lunged culmin-

The Human Mind in Cities.

Somehow or other, amid their crowding.

fullest treest expansion. Unlike the dwarfed
and dusty plants which stand around our
suburban villas, languishing like qSiles from
the puror air and freer sunshine, that tiss.
their fellows far away in fowery fields and
woodland, on sunny banks and breezy hills,
man reaches his highest condition amid the.
social influences of the crowded city. His.
intellect receives brightest polsh wAsre gol4
and silver lose theirs-tarqish by the search
ing smoke and foul yapors ofrcity air, Yhq.
finest flowers of genius. have. grown in, an str-
sposphere where those Of nature are prone
to droop and difficult to bring to maturity.
The mental powers acquire their full robust
ness where the cheek loses its ruddy hue and,
the limbs their e astic step, and pale thopght
sits on manly brows, and the watchman, as.
he walks his rounds, secs the student's lamp.
burning far into the silent night.

The difference between republic and a
monarchy is thus truthfuly pointed out by
somebody-"Pile all the people into pyra-
mid, with the President for the apex, and
you have the symbol of a republic. You
can shake the President, but you cannot
shake the united force Of the people. Invert
the pyramid with the king for its base, and
you have symbol Of monarchy. Trip. up
that king and the whole structure falls into

A LudicrOus Blunder.

The following capital story we find in the
columns of the New Orleans Sundoy Times:
1t is well known to our readers that there
appeared in the Sunday Times, some two
months since, very full report of General
Walkers speech, delivered the previous even
ing on the Neutral Ground. The editor of
a journal that shall be nameless, not having
printers in his pay sufficient to set up mate
rial to fill his paper, called upon us a day
or two afterwards and asked us as favor to
loan him any of our undislurbed matter that
would occupy his untenanted columns We
readily acceded to his request, and furnished
him with Gen. Walkers speech and the kev.
DIR. SCOTS article on the Efficacy Of Prayer,
which he had been kind enough to send us
from San Francisco. by some strange ac-
cident, the political speech and the prayer
became welded together in the pages Of our
contemporary, so that the readers were led
to infer that Gen. Walker, in the midst Of
his fiery address, became suddenly pious and
held forth in prayerful tones worthy Of the
Rev. DR.. Scott. The one was SO beautifully
dovetalcd to the other that an ordinary per-
son might easily be deceived.
Yesterday morning we received among
our exchanges religious paper Of great au-
thority among a certain religious sect, which
copies the speech with the interpolated prayer
and supplies its readers with an editorial on
the subject. The editor avows his conversion
to Walkers Nicaragua doctrines, as he gath
ers from the hero's speech unmistakeable
evidence that the Generals peculiar mission
is to lrotestantize South America. This is
not the first time that men have been snp-
posed to SOW with grape-shot the seeds Of
the gospel.
PRoGREss OF INvENTIoN.-ln a late mum
Der of the Scientific 41naerican we see it sta
ted that the number Of new inventions pat
ented in this country during the past twelve
years is about 15,5O0 while the total mum
Der of patents issued during the preced-
ing seventy-fve years was 14,5oO Twelve
years ago the first forty-four miles Of tele-
graph had been. put in. operation. There
are now in operation and under construction
throughout the world about eighty thousand
miles.
The last year is regarded as more fruitful
in new Inventions SO far as number is con
cerned, that any preceding year in the his
tory Of this country, but among these few are
remarked Of a strikingly original character.
