Tighten the cares Of I.abor's band;

For Lager Beer and Liberty
Let those who wish go hymn aloud,
Dis, ME we -Four our sparkling Lager q9af,
And at the worlds vain foiiies laugh.
Sons of Lager! who would falter.
All such slaves deserve the halter,
StoPt their Lager, or bound in chains.
Cheer 5 up: hosts s of natives i9in our ranks,
For Lager Beer and Liberty ?N
NeGe sy yIeId While kill, wrongs I dsprivsu
The zeaots would to fury drive US
Our every spark of JOY erase!
Oh inspiring Beer thy CLEANS of gladness
oa ca1ss Sadness
AS to the merry realms We soar.
Sons of Lager while Freedoms bird
flowers Ger us, shall we fee
No! We'll boldly our armor grid

ga VERY WICKED rY."-Editor of the Star:
The following sentence appears in letter from
Philadelphia, published In Baltimore paper
this morning, in connection with brief account
OF the National Union Prayer Meeting Conven-
tion, now in session I'm that city
giving some facts in regard to the progl ess of the
Union Prayer Meetings in that city. This letter
brought up several delegates from Washington,
who described 1t as a rery ,cicked citv caused bv
the large lnnux OF strangers from all sections of
the Union -
If this account is true, Mr.. Editor, perhaps am
not the only citizen who doubts the proprietv of
''delegates from Washingtonn thus contributipg
to the scandal so long INDUCED by ignorant and
snperfci al observers of life in the National Me.r,p

will favorably compare with the morals of anv
city of equal population anywhere; and In support
OF this assertion these delegates can have the
proofs, if they desire light on the subject from
your correspondent. But 1t may be that thew have
advantages superior to ordinary folks for ascer-
tanning how far our federal city has advanced in
the direction Of Sodom and Gomorrah, G.
A WILD FELLow.-On Saturday afternoon, the
vicinity of Seventh street and Justices, ow
louisiana avenue, was in great excitement,
caused by the conduct Of two disorderly men
named Cornelius TOomey and John Conner who
being Oh a bust went into Smiths restaurant and
upon assaulting the bar-keeper, Were summarily
eJected into the street, where they commenced
lighting each other. Hempler, of the Auxiliary
Guard, and officer Busher, endeavored to ouefl
the disturbance, but without effect They arrested
Ine par'les 70 carry them to the Office of Justice
Dom. They together, with the assistance of
oncer Allen. carried Conner to the office bodily
be ghting the whole time; and during the exam
lnatlon his behavior was such that he had to be
his way, and he was about to be severely pun
ished. He was fined $40 and costs and committed
TO the workhouse for 80 days, and was carried
down In a furniture car. Toomey was fined sc 6.,
and was carried to the watchhouse and locked up
In the cells until he got sober.

vorite attitude, and with every lineament of his

Culver's drug store, 26S Pennsylvania avenue;
and the opportunity will doubtless be embraced
BY the admirers of Mr. ID who may wish to secure
faithful likeness Of that gentleman.

transferring convicts from one prison to the other
