~ Some one has said that wine,
women and gaming are the three great
est plaques of man. The truth of this
assertion-at least as regards the two
former-was exemplified in Cincinnati
afew days since. The En- quirer says:
A prominent CITIZEN" who has re-
Gently been very assiduous in bis atten-
ton to certain lady, volunteered to
send her basket of choice wine, Just
received from the importers. The
beverage was dispatched in charge of
a laundering porter, to whom was in
trusted note, informing the lady that
the donor would call and spend the
evening. Most unfortunately for all
parties, the basket was delivered at the
wrong number-a house occupied by
savagely jealous man and bis beautiful
wife alone. The basket and letter fell
into the hands of the gentleman, who,
burning with desire for vengeance,
called upon the generous youth, and
without as much ceremony as "by your
leave" gave him sound punching"
After the faggellation had been arts
tically administered an explanation
ensued, which, we trust, was satisfactory
to both parties.
We are not advised whether lady No.
one has yet received her allowance of
wine.

EE There must certainly be some

@ There must certainly be some
very classic voters in Louisiana, as an
instance of the fact We give the names
of few queer individuals voted for at
the last geneIal election. In West
Baton Rouge, we learn from the Sugar
Planter that some legal qualified voter
did, with malice aforethought, vote for
the Devil for Congress-Third Dis
trict-in preference to any other candi
date in the field. No doubt this was
done for no other purpose than to create
a stir in the poll teal circles in that
section-though we must say the move
was very appropriate one, and shows
the voter to be a sensible man. 1t
would take the devil to to represent the
Third District properly anyhow.
From the Daily Crescent of a recent
date, we learn that the following votes
were actually poled in New Orleans !:
For Governor, Sans Souci; for Lieut..
Governor, N'importe for Attorney
General, Simon suggs; for Auditor of
Public Accounts, John Smith !; for Sec
rotary of State, Nom de Plume f; for
Superintendent of Public Education,
Nix for Stay; for Commissioner Board
Public Works, Absalom Shocks. Here
the voter gives a few real names. which
though on account of the bogus names
were rejected. This wise man of the
alps" winds up his ticket by voting
for P. Doesticks Justice of the Peace

sell his soul, if he had one, for thirty
pieces of silver. He is professional
jobber and swindler, and derives his
meat and breadfrom habitual depreda-
lions upon the public treasury. He
would lie or steal, or murder without
any hesitation, for those who would
pay him.

wonderful is music. Words are won

wonderful. 1t speaks not to our

to our hearts and spirits--to the very
core and root Of our soul. Music
sooths us, stirs us up; it puts noble
feelings into as; it melts US to tears,
we know not how; it is language by
itself, just as perfect in itself, just as
perfect in its way as speech,-as words;
just as divine, justas blessed.-Kings-

PROMPT AcT1oE.--So soon as the
news reached the Government on
Tuesday, by q telegraphio despatch
from the collector of New Orleans, of
Texas, measures were immediately
taken to order the despatch of the
United States troops from Baton Rouge;
and We believe that at the moment of
our writing the troops are on the way
to the seat of disturbance. Within an
hour after the receipt of the dispatch
from Collector Hatch, the order were
issued for the march ofthe troops from
B"ton Rouge Washington Constitu-
tion Of Wednesday
There is only one sense in which
the foregoing paragraph expresses the
exact truth. 1t is true that SO soon
as orders were sent from Washington, a
company or two of United States troops
hadrapid dispatch for Brownsville, but
it is equally true that the Government
has been criminally negligent-if not
absolutely indifferent-to the condi-
ton of things on our Texan frontier.
For weeks even months, what has now
actually happened was threatened and
predic ted--the people of Brownsville
and vicinity entreated, warned and ex-
postulated with the authorities, but all
to no effect. And now when Browns
vile is in the possession of a guerrilla
band, and her citizens either killed or
prisoners at the mercy of q notorious
rufian and outlaw, the Government
dispatches few troops to the scene
of devastation and blood, and the court
journal, with accustomed schyophnny,
pronounces the action prompt. 1t is
just such promptness as has made this
administration almost "by-word and
q Kissing" wherever the American flag
floats.
The imperiIled and butchered citi-
Gems on the banks of the Rio Grande,

from that of the obsequious organ at

A MODEST PRoPosAL TO PoLITIcAL
FAULT FINDERs.--Under this head the
National Intslligencer copies from the
Boston Transcript some reflections on
party ethics, with portion of which
we are so well pleased that we cannot
resist the inclination to give our SUBJ
scribers an opportunity Of perusing
them:
Let the excited partizan look into
the records of special conflicts long
since ended, and how pitiful seems the
miserable sophistries, the bitter invec-
tises, the insulting personalities which
degrade the annals of controversy
Viewed when the winds of the tempest
are laid, and the smoke of the battle
has dispersed, how unworthy of chris
tan men such means and appliances
appear? So, too, when one withdraws
himself from the irritating and pestilent
atmosphere, and looks around upon
other scenes and interests. how he won
ders at the narrowness and egotism, the
prejudice end the passion, that once
blinded and Infatuated him! There is
nothing like historical reading and for
eign travel 10 expand the mind and
lift it above the range of local and
party influences. When one realizes
how vast the world is, how identical the
wants and instincts of humanity, if he
has soul within him, it expands to a
Vivid comprehension of the fact that
the place and the questions which he
imagined were universal are but units
in the mighty sum of life. and as such !

those editors who are celebrated for
inficting long. prosy editorials upon
their readers week after week, could so
manage it as to compress all their
