% RELEST1Na--The peony nondescript that
edits the Evening Nes0s, vowed VOW a
few weeks ago, " never to let our name ap-
pear in the columns ofShis paper" That
charitable VOW has been broken, "gin eout."
He not only published our name, but hall
column letter Of ours originally published
in the st. Louis Democrat. We had all
along supposed that nature had located alf
the soft spots inside his Uranium, but now
we admit the existence Of little one in the
region Of the heart, which executes the
: functions of lubricator to reduce the fric-
!, ton incidental to the play of strong MEM
Der. We hope he will manure it we'll, as it
may eventually deoxidise the miasma that
arises from a premature greenness. Cab
bages may be tolerated with pork and beans,
when christian philanthropy would stiAe in
the breast of conceited coxcomb like our
peony6ed friend. tits said the moon affects
the growth of garden vegetables; if SO, it
may exercise corresponding effect upon an
object naturally as susceptible of lunar rays.
That's all.

Express, wants to know what we will do
next" Why laugh at man who would
sell his manhood for 1.-THE of Government

CUrE.-It is said that the Manomin
wizard, while on visit to st. Peter, laid a
wager with one of the Douglas State Com
mittee that he could name county in Min
nesota that would give unanimous vote
for Breckenridge. The pile was cool
thousand. Manomin has spoken, unani-
mously every vote, twenty-five according
to order. Eh--em wins of course.
TELEGRAPH.-We learn from some of
the subscribers to the Minneapolis telegraph
line, that owing to the fact that Mr.. Wins
low has violated the provisions of his con-
tract, that they will not pay their subscrip-
,tions. Wehave no doubt there is just cause
for this determination. Much indignation
exists. Our best citizens approve the course
adopted by the St. Paul Press, in resisting
the recent attempt to levy black mail.
Winslow should be taught lesson which
he will remember.
. LOCAL AFFA1Rs.-The election being
over, and the political pbrenzy ended, it
becomes the duty of every good citizen to
well consider the speedy settlement Of our
railroad affairs. This important dnty will
devolve upon the Republican Legislature.
Let wise councils prevail. Clear heads and
clean hands required. d.. ~t
OFFICE SEEKERs.-As soon as it was sat-
isfactorily ascertained that Honest Old
Abe" was elected, very perceptible move
ment grew apparent among our Republican
friends. Embryo Postmasters gave tangi-
BILE premonitions of effete parturition. Brief
less lawyers, fund-short bankers, work.hating
artizans, and leisurly gentlemen started up
on every hand, inflated with the hope that
Office was the sumum bonuna of earthly aspi-
ration, and that our interested politicians
promises, extorted in time of danger, were
actually to be fulfilled. Why, gentlemen,
the millennium is afar off-the mission of him
who goeth to and fro is not yet fully &C.
complished-then why put your trust in
princes, alias politicians. The good time,
so eloquently spoken of in the song, is q
myth, phantasmagoria, pleasant to specu-
late about, but as far from ultimate fruition
as that twsnty ardent expectants should all
get the Minneapolis Post Office, Report
has it that not less than thirty aspirants cry
aloud for the Post Office in St. Anthony.
OF course they promise to be loving band
of irrepressibles. Verify there is fun ahead.
Keep cool, gentlemen. y Disappointment
turks in every mans pathway. Rashness
is always dangerous, and rarely successful.
That SuPpER.-Our Republican friends
are to have a jolli6cation supper on Friday
evening at the Nicollet House. "A glorious
time is expected. Of course the Bell men
will not be invited, as their numbers pre-
clude suitable accommodations. 1t has been
suggested that they meet some suitable eve,
when the wind blows from Tennessee, and
take a cup of Bohea." After which,
"Pembina" will read Everetts Washington
Address, when we will sing that much ad-
mired refrain, "Those Evening Bells" At
lasian Mike will appear, emblazoned
with printers ink, thus impersonating
the "Glorious Union" as defaced by
the ruthless hands OF Southern seces-
sionists. This melancholy picture will fur
nish text for an address from Tyler on the
instability of things earthly. In the abb
sence of bona fde Bell, we will conformity
toll Al gallon of Bassett's best rot-gut.
Daring the progress of this interesting
scene, elec,or Hoag will cause the curtain
to fall, as he exclaims like Antony, Oh,
what fall was here my countrymen, when
Won and fell down and bloody treason
tr;nmnhed DER us." WinsloW's telegram
