Judas lscarfot.


We are constrained to own up to the fact
that our condition is Opacated By the "shad-
owy shades Of outrageous" mental cloudi-
ness concerning the feast and fast days aud
seasons of prayer, and days Of grace &C.
kuowledged and celebrated by the various
sects and people who compose the "olla po-
drda' Of our singularly heterogeneous com.
munity SO far is our vision obscurei, that
even the dusty particles of struggling ligat
that creep through the cracks of space.
feeby radiated, and nickerng from the di-
urnal prints that have being, (by the
grace of God) ia Marysyille, teach-or
rather remind-us Of the tact that, the last
bye gone Saturday was the accepted ami
versary Of the birth or death or consumma-
ton OF the treachery on the part Of that
weak and abject victim Of Hebrew bargain.
Gale and intrigue" Judas Iscariot
We learn from those prints alluded to,
that an amachronistic figure (modern panta
looms aud dress coat, stuffed with some light
substance, and adorned with II waistcoat
and boots, cup to its eyes in Irish lnon'
and surmounted by sOm6rero Of n cast OIL
over and hooted at. and finally disgracod by
having a bunch of Chinese fire crackers ex.
ploded pOsferiori and then annihlatcd by
one fell coup defat t-as the State journal
hath 1t, and this was all performed by mem
hers of that God fearing, paper smoking and
fandango dancing race the lIspano- Amer-
cans, unaocountably designated by hating
Yankees, "Grease-ors" or as the Western
er or the Southcrner have rendered it
"Greezers" Thus was fore.ordained trea-
cherry treated by those descendants Of Cor
tez and the Aztecs that dwell at Nye's Ranch,
and thus will indignant followers of betray-
cd Savior treat the memory of the corrupt
Judas so long as unenlightencd "Christians"
maintain their devout and intolerant scuti
ments. Would that the people could feel as
strong contempt and hatred Of political
bargaining and trcachery among modern
political Iscariots But they won't in our
day and generation. but perhaps unborn
millions will hang somebody in efigy for
bargaining sacred rights to accomplish sell
fish and unholy purpose.
But there are people enough to moralzc
over this subject matter without our attemp
ting it, so we will tell what that ludicrous
modern Judas of the Marysvllc Christians
reminds US of tby the way, it had n cigar in
its mouth, as the News tells US and with
oil his other sins, we have never yet heard
that Iscariot used tobucco)
What the description Of that figure re
minds us of is a large scriptural picture that
somebody once painted in Cincinnati. The
subject was the sacrifice Of Isaac by Abra-
ham. The artist was one Of the "Pre Raph-
aelite" school of painters; that is to say, he
was dealer in the purely scientific, or pro.
sale style, in contradisinction to the imag-
inative or poetic
The auxilliarios of the picture, the sky
and wood, the altar and even the ram were
sic style as was necessary to such subject,
but the principle actors in the scene, the old
Patriarch, his son aud the angel were Of an
entirely original character.
Isaac. arrayod in a roundabout and blue
pantaloons, and his feet covered with pair
of stOgics, was stretched upon the altar; his
father was clothed in similar apparel to Stu
arts picture of Washington. armed with
flint.lo musket which was cooked and
pointed at his sons head, while the angelic
intervention was illustrated by long
winged seraphim, who having descended
from a pery blue sky was ejectng saliva Of
a decided tobaccoish tint, into the priming
pan Of Abrahams gun.
Gen Aliens picture Of the Judaic Offering
reminds us of this unique painting.
