Caught the Panic.
BY INVISIBLE GREEN, ESQ.

A tall, lank, Jerusalem sort of fellow,
pretty we'll under the influence of Mr..
Alcohol, was observed swinging to lamp
post on Fifth street last night. He was
talking quite loudly to the aforesaid post,
when guardian Of the night approached
him.
0"Come, sir, you are making too much
noise, SIR said the watchman.
Noise? who's that said noise? 2 asked
the post-holder, as he skewed his head
and endeayored in vain to give the intru-
der sober look. '
1t was me- replied the watchman as
he exposed his siIvered numbers to full
view. h
sYou? and who in the d--lare you +?
1t taint me that's making Of the noise.
No, sir. It's the banks that's making
all the noise. They are breakin',
crushin', and a smashin' of things to an
incredible amount. Noise It's the bank
ers that are a maxim of the noise. They
are cussin', a rippin', and starvin' all
round. It's the brokers that's maxim
of the noise. They are hollerin', an a
yellin' and a screechin', like wild injuns
over the times that worses everybody but
themselves. No sir, it amt me that's a
maxim of the noise
'You are tight as brick In new wall,
said the officer amused at the good nature
of the individual. =.
| Me tight? Who said l am tight g
No, sir, you are mistaken. It's not me
that's tight. It's money that's tight. Go
down on Third street, an you find money
is tight. Read the newspapers-read the
Cincinnati Times, as. | did tonight, an
you'll find out that it's money that's tight.
Ne tight? I've got nary red, but Kan
hawka, and the d--l couldn't get
tight on that. No, sir, I'm not tight.
Then you are drunk.
Drunk? Stranger yer out of it agin;
the worlds drunk; the hull community is
a staggerin' round, buttin' their heads
agin stone walls and skinnin' of their
noses on the curbstone of adversely. Yes
sir, we're all drnnk-that is everybody Is
drunk but me. I'm sober, sober as po-
lice Judge on a rainy day, | amt drunk,
no, sir, stranger, amt drunk.
! 'What are you making such a fool Of
yourself for, then?
| Fool? Sir, I'm no fool. I'm distress
ed. I've catched the contagion. I'm
afflicted .~.
Are you sick!'
'Exactly.'
} What's the matter with YOU?
'Pve got the panicS.'
! The what 2
: The panicS, Sir, it's a goin' to carry
off this town, l tried to escape by hare
drink, but it's no use; the panics have
got me sure
The watchman rendered his sympath,
and his aid to the panic stricken individual
In the cuorse of half an hour he had th
pleasure of putting him into the door o
his boarding house, and pointing out t
him the best remedy--a soft bed and lon;
slumber.

Battle Of New Orleans.

For the Nebraska Advertiser.
Battle Of New Orleans.
Come all you American heroes,
That love your country's cause,
Who will not bow to tyranny
Nor British martial laws.
Ny song shall tell the victory
OF eighteen hundred and htteen .a
That was gained by JacksOu's volunteers
At the battle Of New Orleans. T
It was on the eighth Of January,
Just at the dawn Of day
We saw those interlOpers
All dressed in battle array; tr
Their rockets and their bOmbshellS
Like comets they let ny.
Like lions they advanced
The fate Of war to try.
Brave Jackson thea gave orders
Each man to all his post, ,aI
And form q line from right to lett
And let no time be lost,
The salvation Of our country
Depends on us to-day,
Wen show those interlopers
The valor of U. S. A.
Then twice they marched up to charge,
And twice they left the ground;
We fought them full three hours,
While bugle horns did sound.
Long streams Of fiery vengeance
From muskets we did pour,
While many a British soldier
Lay weltering in his gore.
But when we did convince them
Our post we would maintain,
They fed in all directions,
And scattered on the plain.
They fed into their wooden walls,
And left the solid land;
This battle was conducted
BY some o'er ruling hand.
This was bloody battle,
And managed by great skill;
Full twenty thousand men engaged
Each other for to kill.
Brave Johnny lost two thousand men
BY valiant Tennessee,
While thirteen we're killed and wounded
OF the sons Of liberty,
Here's health to Gen. Jackson
Aud all his valiant host,
For whipping Of our enemy. - s..
Pr And clearing OF the coast. M.
May around his tomb circle bind,
Win gloFy 70 his fame,
Posterity to read "a time

A SIGN AND A VALUE.

There is an era in political economy, 10
metals, in bank paper, and in bills OF eA.
change, as 10 everything else. We are in
clined to the opinion that an uneducated
Swabian of Rockingham has discovered, at
last, q medium of exchange hitherto unknown
among philosophers. and which is both a
sign and a vslue--a sisn cr representative
or impersonation of some sixty thousand, and
a value of DO despicable nature, being a young
lady of some seventeen summer, with the
bloom OF rose upon her cheeks, the sparkle Of
love in her eye. and the majestic potency Of
woman's will 10 all Der motions. Nor was
this discovery alone sufficient for Tire ambi-
ton OF our economist: he must needs appro-
pirate the medum-w which was done by
assigning a place Of meeting on some pleasant
summer evening-a ride Of elk miles double
on horseback; a drive in the stsgs coach to
Winchester; a loving promenade through the
streets OF that delectsble village; the wbirl,
confusion and din ofthe locopotivet to Harper's
Ferry. and the solemn rites Of matrimony at
that Gretua Green of America! What a
triumph Valley Democrat.

A COW IN HOOPS.

The Portsmouth Transcript, says: Yester-

on Crawford street, and, as if approaching
their use. horned of a hoop skirt which had
been hung out as a sligo and bore # the prize

Of boys. girls. women and men. After walk
