THE BUTCHER AND THE AcrREss-The Cncin-
natl Enquirer devotes the leading column to a
recent event in that city of pork. 1t appears
that about two months ago popular actress
went to perform star engagement there. A
wealthy butcher one night was tempted to see
her Desdemona. He was entranced-he envied
Othello nightly, and night after night he visit
ed the theatre to see his divinity. He first re-
vealed his passion in sending her legs of mutton
mutton had no effect; he next tried a heart
hearts no go then chops-chops all thrown
away. A haunch of venison was also thrown
away. The disciple of cleaver sinking into
despair, when, passing jewelers. store, be saw
diamond bracelet. This glittering bait was
too much for her-she bit ! pearl necklace did
the business, and she who who had turned up
her nose at venison and mutton chops, owned
the soft impeachment of jewelry Their init
macy ripened into love, and the morning after
her benefit she like another Juliet, carried off
her Romeo He basely abandoned his legs
sides, launches, roast and boiled calves and
heart. saying nothing of faithful wife, and &C.
companied his enslaver like a lamb to the
slaughter His deserted wife sells steaks, tend
er her infatuated lords bosom, and continues
the business as usual. The Cincinnati Enquirer
most provokingy conceals the name of this
Dulcinea del Toboso OF the marrow bones and
cleaver.

t4- As we predicted, the story so greedily
devourned by papers with Republican proclivi-
ties, that the failure of John A. Washington
would result in a total loss of the $40, ,OOe al
ready paid by the Mount Vernon Association for
the Mount Vernon estate, is an unmitigated lie,
started for the purpose of increasing prejudice
in the northern mind against anything and sv-
srything southern. The Alexandria, (va.) Ga
seffe thus disposss of the mean falsehood:
Some of the Northern papers are again circu-
lating ridiculous stories, utterly destitute of the
semblance of truth, with regard TO the pecunia-
~ responsibility of John A. Washington and the
title to the Mount Vernon estate. All these sto-
ries are the merest fabrications, and the motive
that induces their circulation is as evident as it
is remarkable.

A Observation-Disclosures no Democrat in this

ocrats in Congress, because they are anxious to
have the Anti-Lscomptou members act with
them in the choosing of speaker. Why then, if
the Anti-Lecompton members Of the California

with the same courtesy that the nti-Lecompton

regular organized Democrats at Washington /?

Five and Forty Years Ago.
BY J. 3.

1t was when the day was dawning
Five and forty years ago,
On smiling Sabbath morning,
That the cannon doomed its warning
Ofthe near approaching foe;
And the frontiersmen assembled
On the yielding soil which trembled
Meath the trampling of the foe,
Five and forty years ago.
At his post stood each stout yeoman
Five and forty years ago,
For his kindred-for his domain
When the leader of the foemen
Vowed, that ere the sun was low,
Fair Orleans-her wealth and beauty
Made the ruffian soldiers booty
With consuming flame should glow;
Five and forty years ago.
Like the mountaineering levin,
Poured the rifles sheeted fiow,-
And as by the bolt of Heaven
Stricken, blasted, torn and riven,
Rseled and fell the shattered fos.-
And the sullen, 'sanguined river,
Bore afar, afar, forever,
From our shores the vanquish'd foe.
Five and forty years ago,
Breaks as broke the Sabbath morning
Five and forty years ago,
Yet no columnsd pile adorning,
Marks yon field, where danger scorning
Freedoms chosen quelled her foe;
But the memory of its glory,
4
And the wing of Time droops low,
As when blazing in the glow,
Of FIVE and forty years ago.
