And longer since.

Among thin black Csnsjsns;
But wha'-d'-ye think
Of christian dhrink,
Now tell me that, me tulip
When thro' sthraw
Your Highness saw,
The favor Of Il jalep?
And what is more,
We've got, galore,
Such oysters-none can Bate 'em
Yell bliss the day

When We sit down to ate 'em
There's craythers rare,
And mighty quare,
In BARSUM's great Muzaun,
BY land and wather
And, for q qua'ther,
Your Highness may survey 'em
Thin haythen chaps,
The nayger Japs.
Wild all their curst expinses,
Just TUX their ell,
And left bill
At which the psple winces;
But thin, no doubt,
Ye'll ride about

WAsuISGroS BELL AND EVERETT CLUB.---
The regular meeting of the Bell and Ever
EFT Club of Washington. on Thursday night,
was we'll attended, MIR. j. c. kenned in the
chair Ben. Ogle Taylor, the late President
of the Club, who had latel Y visited several
of the Northern States. gave his views as to
the prospects for the Union ticket, which he
considered Frightening daily. The growth
of the party had been regular, and there was
now hope that it would be triumphant. He
set down nearly all the Southern States as
certain for Bell and Everett. for since MIR.
Breckenridge had made Union speech, he
was no longer certain even of South Carolina.
Mr.. 7. reviewed the positions taken by Mr..
Seward, in his recent speech, and was of
opinion that it had seriously damaged the
Republican cause. The fusion likely to be
made in New York would effectually pre-
vent the election of Mr.. Lincoln, and there
by save the country from further sectional
strife ard great peril.
Mr.. W. B. Webb, from the Executive
Committee, announced that it had been
agreed that the Club should attend the mass
meeting at Rockville on the 9th, and one at
Alexandria on the Goth inst.
On motion of Mr.. n. D. Larner, the thanks
of the Club were voted to the gentlemen
through whose efforts the handsome banner
of the Club had been suspended across the
street, in front of the room.
Thomas 4. Harris, of Missouri, one of the
Bell and Everett electors for that State, was
introduced. and entertained the Club for
more than an hour, in q speech replete with
logic and inimitable humor. He gave an
encouraging account of the progress of the
cause in Missouri, and other States through
which he passed. and impaired new life and
spirit to the members. His illustrations
were at once forcible and amusing, and were
received with great applause. Mr.. Harris is
we'll suited for Il campaign such as the one
now in progress and his services should be
kept in requistion from this time to the day
of election, for, while he deals in severe
sarcasm and admirable irony, there is vein
Of good humor in all he says, which draws
the sting from the bosom of an adversary
Nat Int.
WAsHISGToS ITEMs.-The Bell and Ever
EFT Club, who have their rooms on the east
side of Seventh street, have raised hand.

their candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency in large letters, legible at a con-
siderable distance. This is suspended in
the middle of the street TO be read Of all
