The Washington Republicans, not being
allowed to FIRE their guns over the Connecti-
out victory, within the city, dragged their
ordinance across the river into Virginia, and
fred them from the banks Of the Potomac
right into the ears of the President of the
White House opposite. While engaged in
this business, some gentleman crossed over
from the Presidential mansion with very
anxious looks, and supposing that some one
was drowned, and that the firing was only
to raise the body, eagerly asked, els any
ono dead - eyes," was the reply, in SOL
emn tones. "Who is it ?" ''James Bu-
chanan." The truth here began slowly to
creep over the visitors, and they bowed
themselves of.
