NICELY JAPANSED.
We nj of NJ know we're the snaztest Of chaps,
Which nobody can deny,
We extensively pitied the innocent Japt.
Which nobody can deny.
So we gave 'en good dinners, We gaye EN- cham
We cot !em immensively high On train,
And explained to 'em how to 50 III should 1t rain,
Which nobody can deny.
The bills will amount to a million or Two.
Which nobody can deny,
And the Kalnss have certainly fooled us few,
Which nobody can deny.
The princes they sent were excessively small,
Our Homes Of trade are nailed fast to the wall,
And Tpmmy mis- 1able Nothing At AL,
which nobody can deny.
So here's to the health Of both Yankees and Jap,
Which nobody ea4 deny,
And here's to the gentus which caught us a-nap,

And let no one hereafter In confidence OVID.
That be comes from Do IN East and WIS EAsterly
For the Japsare the Downiest Eastcrns yet known,

LONG vs., SHORT woRps.-1t Is q very com

the long words are more genteel than short
onesjnst as the same sort Of people imagine
high colors md flashy figures improve the
style Of dress. They are the kind Of folks who
don't begin, but always .'commence;" They
bed, but mysterionsly <tretire." They don't
eat and drink, but partake Of Refreshments. u
They are never sick, but extremely indispos'
ed" And instead Of dying, at last, they " de.
cease" The strength OF the Engliah language
IS in the short words-hieay monosyllables
ot saxon derivation-and people who are in
earnest seldom use any other. Love, hate,
words and direct sentences; while cunning,
falsehood and ahactation delight in what Hor.

Head The Women Home.

Peter Smith has been at Washington
and prying into things. Ills oo'er'a-
ton convinces him that there are too
msny women about, and he suggests, as
a good military movement, to send the
wives of the officers home. On that he
says, rather fraternally, Of Mrs. Smith !:
81 don't know, though, but might
add. send home the wife Of every army
officer at Washington 1t is too bad
that the,e should be any necessity Tor
this, but our officers are away from their
regiments altogether too much, particu-
larly when their wives are living 10
Washington. There is something about
calico that causes men to neglect their
duties. What it is 1 don't know
Wherever you 90 in Washington, army
officers abound-at the hotels, theatres,
saloons, concerts, &C.; they make up
four.fftbs of the crowd. The men have
to forego all these pleasures, and the
officers ought to be willing to do the
same. So l say. Send the women
home, and let them 90 to work knitting
mittens for the soldiers. Don't let
Mrs. Smith see this"

SrNrrScEp.-At the late session OF
the District Court Ut Dubuque, H@nne,
the murderer Of Bautlberger, was sent
to States Prison five years. A boy for
stealing a coat was sent to the same
place for two years, and Graham, who
committed rape upon his little daughter
ten years old, was sent t,centy years.
Judge Wilson remarked in this latter
case that it was the first instance in the
history OF law Of crime Of exactly
such character. He sent the man to
prison the full extent Of the law.
CoL.RAxK1S returned from DesRoinei
on Saturday night, and reports that the
Governor had appointed John Edwards
Colonel ofthe 10th Regiment. As the
davenport papers publish Adj't Cen

! in command OF the 10th, there would
seem to be conflict or mlsnnderstand

We guess not. Col. Chambers was

Mr.. JUSTICE NELSON, of the Supreme

took his seat on Wednesday. he states
that the Sccessionists have taken pos

A Foolish IDEA.-Mr. Sumner, in
his eulogy on Col. Baker, in comment
ing upon the unfortunate reconnaissance
at Balls Bluff, scotfed at the idea of an
Investigating Committee to ascertain
where the blame could justly be charged
and said that the great criminal stood
before the country and the world, and
that criminal was slavery. This is
running foolish idea in the ground

ALLEGED Violation Of Orders by Gen
Fremont.
From the Syracuse Journal.

From the Syracuse Journal.
ut seems that Gen. Fremont left st.
Louis in violation OF orders. He was
directed to remain in that city to await
the further direction Of the President"
Washington Cor. Philadelphia Press.
When Gen. Fremont was here on his
way from st. Louis to New York, a
member of his military family explained
the manner in which he came to make
the journey. For three months, Gen.
Fremont's entire time and energies had
been given to the campaign in Missouri,
and his extensive private business affairs
we're utterly neglected. On his super
cedure and return to st. Louis, he made
application to the War Department for
leave to visit New York to attend to
business matters that demapded his i'm.
mediate attention. &Uen times was
this request made, but 10 response was
returned. Finally, Gen. Fremont tele-
