He D. +. ARGUs.-This is paper that we
have read regularly from its commencement
ana with both pleasure and profit Neverthe-
less, since the incumbency of Mr.. NJ. NJ. Noah,
y son OF the famous New York editor, " Major
Noahy) as chief editor, we have perused some
OIL Its leading editorials with unusual gusto and
proht- He lectures Democrats, points ont the
duty OF Democrats, expouuds the principles of
Democracy, and attempts to re-chalk the boun-
CRY lines of Democracy with gravity that
saite credit to his command of the facial
sau,-ies, and cooIness and sublimfity Of imp1i-
dcnce that fills the reader with profound admi-
ration. Mr.. Noah was a member of the Know
Nothing Convention that nominated Major Bowie
for Governor. He was elected a member of the
Know Nothing State Central Committee of the
same Convention. We have not heard of his
having resigned that honorable position. We
therefore presume that he is still a member of
that committee. Hence the extent OF our admit
ration before mentioned. The impudence re-
quisite for such Democratic editor is so INN.
snal, and immense, that when we find it embo-
died, we cannot but render homage to its pos
SCISSOR. We are an admirer of the sublime
wherever we find it.

NICELY DoNE.-Ata a certain eating house, a
very lean, cadaverous-locking mortal was so al
lured by the inviting appearance of ten-pound
turkey, all done up with ..fxings," that he un-
consciously uttered the ejaculation that he
could eat it up in ten minutes.
"What'll you bet you ean?" asked snob,
standing at the door.
The -leas and hungry Cassius" immediately
responded, 'Will you pay for it?"
'sYesn
"Well, then, I'll bet you a drink"
ats bet" said the snob.
The lean man Immediately set to. The choic-
est parts of the fat and savory monster were con-
snmed, with a most enviable relish, but upon
the expiration Of the ten minutes be found him
self stuffed up to the brim, and the turkey not a
third demolished Risi@g very coolly, lie ac-
knowledged tkM he could Mt go it, and quite as
coolly forked over twelve and half cents, for
two xtbisky toddies,-lost-
Snob looked blank upon being struck with
the idea that he had been done up in decidedly
cheap package paid down two and a half dol
lars for the turkey, and left his friesd enjoying
digestion and prime smoke by the stove, con-
siderably the better for first rate dinner for

GeoD>-ln recent debate ON the infamous
mob-bill, MrBnrbank paid his sespects to young
De Long by relating the following incident:
He said that when the House adjourned the
other day, just after the dispute between old
man Stout and De Long. while he standing
on the steps of the house, an honest, hard fsted
old farmer approached him. and wanted to ksaow
what he tkoS ght Of the debate.
"Weli," replied Ne. Burbank, ''i told him it
was passabe; and asked him what he thought
of it. The old man said he didn't like it. He
didn't like to see a young boy like De Long,
speak savagely to old man Stout stopped
him there" continued Burbank, and told hi1a
he must not say sayts1ng against Esy friend De
Long, tAat be aad sat near to each other, and
were the best of friends"
"iWel, said he, doG't care, squire; don't
like to see boy like De Long talk so to cid
man Stout, who is old enough TO be his grand
father, and who fought the battles of his coun-
try before the young born. Why
Squire, ths old gentleman reminded me of aa
old OK, ahssS aeck and shoulders weSe scarreS

ROAD TAx.-Section 9th Of the law concern
ing Roads and Highways on page S5l, Woods
Digest, reads thus:
HThe Board of Supervisors shall have power
to levy road tax on all able bodied men be-
tween the ages of twenty-ore and fifty years,
which shall not exceed five cents on each one
hundred dollars for road purposes" &c.
If this were the law, and the aforesaid @aisse-
bodied men" were assessed upon their own esti-
mate of their worth, sufficient sum would be
raised to make excellent rail roads all over the
State. The words, (Which shall not exceed four
dollars per annum, and property tax, should
follow inaRediately after the words "ffty years,

Captain Johnsons steamer, Jessup, three days
steaIaing above the &ohave villages and imms-

was volunteer in the Mexican war, and was
left for dead IN the battle of Cerro Gordo, bes o
shot through the body by an escopet ball. One
