mis-, alias Michael Brown, was found, (says
the Boston Herald, few evenings since
in the streets Of that city, addressing an
imaginary audience concerning the great
principles now agita,iug the country. Mr.
Brown, after cOque;,ing G with bottle Of
whiskey, is usually taken in that way,
and it was judged BY the police that Mr.
Brown would be benefited by complain
ing of him as a common drunkard and
sending him to the place where whiskcy is
unknown, except upon special occasions.
"May it please the Court" said Mr..
Brown, squaying bis shoulders as though
about to hold forth to one of his imagina
ry audiences, "would i: make any differ
ence, regarding my case, if the Court were
informed of my politics!"
The Court looked at Mr. Brown in as
tonishment.
"Hurrah for the Little Giant" shout
ed Mr. Brown, with keen look at the
Court to notice the effect of the announce
meDt.

Mr.. Brown thought be was on the
wrong track. lie changed instantly.
"Hurrah for Lincoln and Hamlin :" he
shouted as loud as ever.

AN "AwFUL" DIsEAsE.-The Pipsy-
nipsy, a complaint peculiar to the Western
country in summer season, has broken out
among many of our citizens. A sudden
depression Of the colipsis liudix, caving
in of the spinaiity or backbonibus, and
feeling of slimness in the immediate vicin-
ity of the cateroid canibus, may be regar
ded as proper indications that the com
plaint is coming on. The following pre-
scriptiou will afford instant relief:
"Spiri,us Vini Otardi, j.; Spiritus
Vini Jamaicai, z S.; Sugarum Whi,um,
q s.; lcbus FiDis, q r.; Sliceum Pine
applet, Strawberryii Shakistls vloleuter;
Suckite dulclter cum strawum."
A friend at our elbow "a learned NJ. D.
remarks that he would not object to have
the complaint for the sake Of the remedy.
