A CraXe Subject.

From the time when a sacriegous and irrevent Eel
loh cooked his supper with the mummy of the Pharoah
that knew not Joseph down to the present enlightened
age men will do almost anything to make living
For long time shiploads of bones to be pounded into
manure were received in England from the field of
Waterloo and the heroes who died for their country
and reaped thererom crop of aures the means,
after their DEATH of assisting in the growth of turnps
and potatoes.
The last development of this rreveren pursuit of gain
is on the central American ishmus at place called
Chrique or Bugabo somewhere in the State Of Pana-
ma, where old burying grounds are being dug and
unfortunate deunct Indians dug up for the gold buried
with them in their graves-or they do not appear to
have had collins, and people have found gold,
and others hope find it, and grave digging has become
quite popular avocation.
We think it the bounden duty of the defunct persons
to appear to the vi0ators of their graveand az
pear in the most erocous garbn fact to look ugly
as they caD since looking all they do. The idea
of taking rings from the of departed coored gen.
temen bells from the toes of decayed Spanish Beauties
is quite improper and wrong, Ii we were engaged in
the grave-dgging business and of these departed
persons should choose to honor with interview.
would like to gain some useful information from him
as to the hiding place of considerable quantities OF
treasure buried to keep out of the clutches of the Buc
cancers. The respectable ghost must have learned by
this time that in his present state Of existence he
have no for gold, while he must also know that it
| would be very convenient for us TO have. We should
paaver and softsawder the ghost to DEATH if he wasn't
dead already. We heard of ghost that fond
of whskey at any rate the ghost used to haunt certain
house at night, and in the morning considerable redeye
would be missing. We would try the ghost that way
aud See if we couldn't otch him -unloose his tongue
Or start him to rapping.
2. S. That ghost that used to take the whiskey was
found to be lice ghost with nght-cap on. He only
walked in his seep-a confirmed case of somnabulsm.
He never knew anything about it in the morning (?)

Ciinrity.

We have always felt kindly leaning towards that
gente.hearted old Scotch minister who made it rule,
after praying for everybody ese to put up petition on
behalf OF the puir misguided Devil He may have
been wrong but surely he could not have been far
wrong, and the state of feeling that prompted him to
hone good things even of the deevil was better
much better than the starched proprety of the unco
good" who think it Christian duty to hunt down an
errng brother or sister, whose heart perhaps is better
than their own.
But we are not preachers and have therefore no in
tenton to inct sermon upon readers but merely
wish to improve the occasion by holding up the ez-
ample of the good old divine model for imitation by
some of the politicians and political editors of our own
and of other provided those of other States
care copper for our remarks.
The worthy old divine in question had, no doubt,
sriven against the decvi and all his works for years
he had belabored him with good broad Scotch, which
if not quite as rich as the Irish brogue, is still too
suggestive of burr mstones to be sneezed at even by
the "deevil y he had done all he could to defeat the
powers and overthrow the kingdom Of his Satanic ma
iesty but towards that pur misguided being, per-
sonalLy, he, had no hared-heE was willing to pray for
his conversion if such the will of Providence. He
was willing to treat old Satan himself better than some
rabid politicians seem inclined to treat their fellow
citizens of the same Stateto express kinder feelings to-
wards him, and to take a interest in his ultimate
salvation.
We may be accused of treating this subject in spirit
of levty but must say in all sober sadness and sin
CERTIFY that noticed atog ether too much Of this spirit
of uncharitabeness displayed in the which has
recently been carried in of the districts Of
iE1La ri al
must in their cooler moments regret, if not CONDEMN
Next year will be marked by most exciting struggle
There will be in it many clements tending to add fresl
ascerbity to the usual bitterness Of such contests w
trust however that while all will work freely and frank
ly for their principles and their candidates, none vii
forget the amenities of social lile or be wanting in tn
charitable construction which all have right to ez
pect at the hands of our felow-ctzens.

WASHINGTON, May Is. - All the naval
steamers will be placed in commission as soon
as they shall be successfully finished, and be-
fore the close of this year every available YES
sci will probably be in active service. This
design is not, however, with reference to the
European war, as no damage to our commerce
is apprehended from the cause. Vera Cruz is
considered in official quarters be one of the
most important points where a large fleet is
required, and hence additional vessels will be
dispatched to the Gulf of Mexico. The tacil-
tiles in the neighborhood of Central America,
afforded by our squadron either for sea or land
operations are sufficient for all emergencies.
According to a general order just issued from
the Adjutant Generals Office, officers of the
medical and pay departments may, by virtue
of this commission, command all enlisted men
like other commissioned officers.
The following military stations are announc-
ed as double ration posts from the date of their
establishment, and while not occupied by not
less than one company

Austria, by ordering the entering of her
army into the territory of Sardinia, our ally,
has declared war against u.s. She thus violates
treaties and menaces our frontiers All the
great powers have protested against this act
of aggression. Piedmont having accepted the
conditions, one asks, what can be the reason of
this sudden invasion? 1t is because Austria
has driven matters to such an extremity that
her dominion must either extend to the Alps
or Italy must be freed to the shores of the
Adriatic for every corner of Italy which re-
mains independent endangers the power of
Austria. Hitherto, moderation has been
the rule of my conduct, but now energy
becomes my first duty. France must now to
arms, and resolutely tell Europe | wish not
for conquest but | am determined firmly to
maintain my national and traditional policy.
observe treaties on condition that they are not
violated against me. Irespect territories, and
the right Of neutral powers, but boldly avow
my sympathies with a people whose his
tory is mingled with our own, and who
now groan under foreign oppression. France
has shown her hatred of anarchy. This is
her mission. 1 confde them to the valor of
the army, which remains in France to keep
watch upon our frontiers, and to guard our
homes. l confide them to the patriotism of
the national guard. confide them, in word,
to the entire people who will encircle them
with that affection and devotion of which
daily receive so many proofs. Courage then
