AN IGNORANT PREJUDICE.-The heI Rcpub-
licans aLins the mObocracy ofPhiladelphia, have
been holding meeting-and as their co-labor-
ers, or, we should say, their co-trifers, in New
York did, so did they: that is they showered
down incendiarv threats and ignorant preju-
dices and then adjourned.
The whole animus of there mobocrats is cas-
lily discerned when they get together. They
come with five cent cigars in their mouths and
pirate about "Work or death" in EngliSh-and
"Fur Ar6eit, :" in German. They don't want to
work-for they ''resolve" that they will not
work at lower prices. Revolution, excitement,
are what are wanted. Inproof orthis read their
resolution about lawyers, and about not send
ing members of the legal profession to the Leg
islature, about sending only Working men,
that is, only send men who work with their
hands.
In times of peace and plenty, one can meet
with these radicals, these Eerellers, in any gro
gerry, OF loaing rendezvous, where they sit day
and night and !sponge whisky and cigars, and
talk about decent, respectable, well to do"
people, under the captiOus phrase of "big bugs"
We endeavored to show the other day, in our
comments on the N. Y. demonstration, that
there were no privileged classes or castles. In
Europe, they have their third, fourth and even
fifth "Estdtes"-and then lower down, they
have the CpnaiLIe. In this country we have
Just two classes: the decent people and the
CandilLe The decent people are made up of
tradesmen, manual laborcrs OFFS kind, lawyers,
doctors, preachers, merchants &C., and all 9TH
ers who are usefully and honorably employed.
The CGRGilke are the miserable, whisky dregs
and cigar stumperS, mentioned before, who, not
only are too lazy to work, but can't wait rcspec-
tably, as did that eminent specimen of the
shabby genteel, Mr.. Micawber-for "some-
thing to turn up"
These filings of the mObocrats at the legal
professions, are ignorant flings-and as such,
are unworthy of notice, only as ilustrat-
ing feeling that pervades ignorant and envious
heads. Lawyers are more frequently sent to
our legislatures than any other set of men, be-
cause thew know more about legislation. They
make it their study. They know what the
past history of English and American legisla-
ton they have the lights of history to guide
them, and Of course, make better laws than
would those not likewise posted. When they
get through making these laws they come home,
and are governered, taxed and operated upon
BY them, just as other people arc.
When, therefore, wO hear any one, either on
the streets, or even pcrchNnce, in City GOuu-
ell. flor we have heard these invidiOus filings
.therc,) talk thus about any one set, or class Of
respectable men, we always set it down that
either nature or education has sadly deranged
that mans mental organism.

A porcupine, weighing l9l'pounds, was killed
in Colebrook, CT, one day last week. a dog
seized the animal; but it filed his mouth SO full
of quilts, that the dog had to be killed to put
him out of misery.
Mr.. Broscover, of Wayne, Ohio, few days
ago, was attacked by his dog, and his hands and
arms terribly mangled, 5and he was otherwise
so badly injured as to endanger his life.

with his sister in the churchyard, and reading
the epitaphS, said to her, MARY, where are all

Jones says it is all folly for his friends to tell
him that ne mustn't enlarge his debts, when he
has been doing all he can think of to contract
them.

A RIcu PuFF.-A manufacturer and vender
of quack medicines, recently wrote to friend
living out West, for good strong recommends

Dear Sir:-The land composing my farm has
hitherto been so poor, that SeotchInan could

my back yard."

''As an evidence of its tremendous strength,
I would say that it drew a striking likeness Of
my eldest son out of the mill pond, drew a bis
ter all oyer his stomach, drew load of potatoes
four miles to market, and eventually drew
prize of ninety seven dollars in lottery"
