" PALMETTO WHISKY FROM NORTHERN
DIsrlLLERIEs. = For several days past we
have noticed dray loads of Cincinnati
"Busthead," the genuine "contraband," !"
''strychuine," "1ill-round the korner" rifle
whisky, passing through the city, on the
way to Charleston and other points in
South Carolina and the South. What a
commentary upon the "non-in ntercourse"
ire-eaters. They are an " orful nation
down there, some of them-but they can't
make their own whisky. Porkopolis does
it for them. 1t drinks just as well, they
find, so long as the barrel bears the Palmet-
to stamp. It's a pretty shrewd idea of Pork
Opolis though-sailing their " tangle-f foot"
under Palmetto colors. It's a pretty cute
way to " sell the Carolinians and little
bad whisky at the same time, by branding q
Palmetto tree on the end of the keg. The
stream of Cincinnati whisky pouring into
the South will have a tendency to fire the
Southern head as well as the Southern
heart.-NdshUilLe Banner.

HEALTHY Political ORGANIZATION
Some eight years ago, an insolent slave
holder, by the name of Jesse D. Bright,
said in the United States Senate, to Messrs.
Chase of Ohio, and Hale of New Hampshire,
that they had been excluded from the
Standing Committees of the Senate, because
they did not belong to any healthy political
organization. Mr.. Hale predicted, in reply,
that the parties which the STAKEHOLDER pro-
nounced healthy would in a very short
time be glad to recognize the unhealthy
party of which they two were the only rep
reSentatives on the floor, as party to be re-
spected. Last a0eek this Jesse ID. Bright
Uoted to confirm Nr. Chase as Secretary of
the Treasury, and Mr. Hale as Chairman Of
the Committee on NlUaL A fairs. This looks
little like Haman leading Mordiceis horse
and proclaiming, thus shall it be done to
him whom the king [peOplel delighteth to
know.-Indsana american.

WILLIAM N. EvARTs-This distinguished
New York politician and lawyer is thus de-
scribed in an article on the Century club in
the New York Commercial Advertiser:
In that pale and almost emaciated face,
that fragile enwrapment of body which
stands shaken with the earnestness of its
own talk under the picture of Humboldt at
the mantelpiece-is packed that library of
knowledge and that fiery concentration of
eloquent speech which collectively make up
the product among men called VIM. NJ
Evarts Oe looks like a man whom his soul
has burned up with its own intensity till all
that was inaammable has exhaled- leaving IA
thin asbestos body and face lit up with
great, weird, far-seeing eyes. He seldom
laughs, but be is not ungenial only so i'm
measureably in earnest that he has no time
to laugh.

Uhe Daily 9onrnal,
zinc Writing.

In a little book for popular reading, wash
ing the skin is called " the exercise of Gu
taneous ablution." In tract written for
village poor, man with drunken look is
said to have an ebriated aspect" In a
dictionary Of common things, professed to
be written in the plainest way for the COM
mon people, the writer in his article on
gardening, in April, says: " This month is
favorable to the development of that species
of creation which is noXious to vegetation"
Unfortunately, very many of those to whom
our children's education is intrusted, are
themselves educated in schools where the
pupils are taught to be genteel and where
the chief mark of gentility is counted to be
the using of fine language. Very sensible
was that dame who, doubtful, / suppose, of
her patrons understanding the fine insLip-
ton, "Seminary for young ladies'" added
under it the translation, " A girls school.
liz Punch there is a parody, very little
exaggerated, on this style of composition,
called Desultory Reflections"
"One individual may pilfer a quadruped
where another may not cast his eyes over
the boundary of field.
In the absence of the feline race the
mice give themselves up to various pas
times.
Feathered bipeds Of an advanced age
are not to be entrapped with the outer husks
of corn.
More confeclioners than are absolutely
necessary are apt to ruin the potqge."
Complete letter-Writers are mines of fine
English. In one, the editor, who recon-
mends his book to those who "prefer an
English diction to the vulgarity which care
might avoid" thus advises US to write to in
vite friend to stay with US in the coun-
try:
Will you do US the favor of making our
rural retreat your temporary abode ?''
And when a mother sends present to
her boy at school, he is advised to answer
her thus:
"Knowing as do that your whole life is
occupied in promoting my improvement and
happiness, can only fell that each fresh
token of your affection lays an additional
claim upon my gratitude"
We may consider it a general rule that
the best English is that in which Saxon-de-
rived words are used most freely; that it is
better for common purposes, at least, to say
like than similar, help than assist
give than present. beg than Solicit
kinsman' than relation 'neighborhood
than vicinity, Epraise' than 'encomium.'
That is good advice of the author of
1" "Guesses at Truth :" When you doubt
between two words, choose the plainest the
fine words as you would rouge; love simple
ones as you would native roses on your
cheeks. Let US use the plainest and short
est words that will grammatically and grace
fully express our meaning"

Our Country Dtsgraced by her For

The New York World, while acknowl-

1t says:
Will not the new Administration, in max

regard to moral respectability +? Our coun-
try, during these latter years, has been suf-
6ciently disgraced for the lack of this, and
foreign nations sufficiently insulted. There
is hardly a court in Europe which has not
had some specimen of the American char
acter in its worst form-a sot, or rake, or
swindler. We sent to st. Petersburg an
Alabamian who was so helplessly drunk
during the six months he remained there
that he was never presented to the Emperor
at all, and his Secretary of Legation had to
explain by assigning to the true reason

the Hague person who maintained the
dignity of the country by living over a

strances of the officers of the household
the result being that the notorious woman
was obliged to leave the company by order
of the King himself. We sent to Rome a
person who was a hard drinker, and whose
notorious and shocking profigacy was an
utter abomination to every decent Italian

the abstemious Mohamedans their first
idea of an accomplished American drunk

Late From the Peace Conference.

The peace conference had an excited ses-
sion on Monday, the discussion having been
opened by speech of MIR Boutwell, Of Mas
sachuse,ts, generally against compromise, de-
nying that the North had committed aggres-
sions upon the South and insisting that the
president elect must be Internationally inau-
gurated. MIR Guthrie Of Kentucky replied
excitedly, and said his state would not allow
her sister states 70 be coerced. MIR Cleve-
land of Connecticut made a concliatory
speech, saying that he and his political friends
had appeared in good faith to campare opin-
ions with their southern friends, and if pos
sibe, to reach an honorable adjustment with
out sacrificing princi ples to which they were
solemnly. Reverdy Johnson spoke in sup
port of his amendment which excludes future
territory from adjustment. He said the &C
QUESTION of territory had been the provoking
cause of all our national difficulties, and he
was ready to stop it and to meet the North
half way by applying the proposition only to
that now possessed. His amendment was
carried by vote of II to 6. Al! the south
ern states except Maryland voted against it,
the delegates declaring that they considered
themselves virtually restricted to the Critten-
den plan. 1t is stated tina, Guthrie approach
ed the northern members after the session
was over, and said Kentucky did not demand
the Crittenden plan or any other measure,
and asked what they would concede. They
told him that national convention is the
only proposition likely to succeed, and it is
now generally believed that no other meas
ure can be adopted.
