"Reign of Terror" in which the French Revo-

a loss to decide whether Mr.. Lincoln was to be

that there was any intention to assassinate Mr..

An Anccdotc for the Times.

The Cincinnati Enquirer relates the
following, which has a moral so obvious
ly suited to the times that we copy it.
In the vicinity Of New Richmond
Ohio, several thrifty farmers reside, and
as sometimes win happen, they entertain
and express opposing things. One Of
these, Mr.. S., and very sturdy, cor
rect man, who believes in the right oI
every citizen enjoying his own opinions
and comedies to all Others what he claims
for himself, did not entertain as high re-
spect for the causes Of this war as some
Of his neighbors did.
His case was taken into neighborhood
consultation, and the result was the ap-
pointment of committee Of three "a
wait upon him and intimate to him that
it was mbent on him to change his
manner of thinking and talking, or a
corrective would be applied. TIE com
mittee found him industriously engaged
in hi field, and after passing the com
pliments Of the day and going through a
little circumlocution Of language, finally
bluttered out the obeict of their mission
The chairman Of the committee advised
him that they had come to let him know
that suct opinions as he entertained and
expressed did not suit that region, and
would not be tolerated Mr. S., however
did not seem fully to comprehend the ex.
act nature Of the neighborly call, and
Immediately started off in fattering
eulogy Of his crops. The wheat had
escaped the army worm--the timothy
was tall and heavy--the corn was pro.
digious in promise--potatoes were loud
in their offers of abundancel
But, Mr.. s., that is not what we call
ed upon you for; we came to tell you t.
: change your opinions about
"Ah, yes as was agoing to say, a.
kinds of grain are unusually prolific
and"-
"But, Mr.. S." (puling out a watc
and closely scanning its dial), you hav
just fifteen minutes given you to defn
your position"
"Ah, yes, thank you, gentlemen, ! Sc
pork ought 70 bring pretty goo
price this fall, and l think there is goin
to be pretty large demand for bee
now
"Mr. s., there is but five minutes tim
left you--no trihing; if'-
"Well, well, gentlemen, if the seaso
continues as favorable as it has been E
far, | think''-
"Mr. S., the time is up-we go to re
port"
Just here Mr.. s. jumped down from
the fence, and whipping a wicked look
ing revolver from his bosom and cooking
it, exclaimed in stern and unmistakabl
tone i
"Gentlemen, you hare Just one minut
6et,Oeen you to get out Of Mistfeld-ono
d-n me IF THE TINE Is MT PRETTY NEAR
LY UP Now"
And away they went-"stood not upor
the order of their going, but went j
in improved Joe Dimmock time--no
even as much as paying ordinary respec
to the gate.
