A KNOW NOTHING Lawyer Simmons
was the greatest wag of the day, but be was
blessed with the most solemn visage that
man ever saw in . member Of the bar, and
woe to the lawyer or judge who attempted
to handy words with him. Between him
and Judge P, who by the way, was
not considered Solomon, existed no friend
ly feeling, and the Judge would not grant
him favor if he could avoid It.
On one occasion s. wanted contin.
uance of certain case, and the Judge re-
fused to grant it. don't you know that
we know nothing about the circumstances"
replied the Judge. ...

might be presumed to know these facts"
"Ths Court, brother S., is not pre-.

With a most courteous bow and graceful
wave of the hand, s. replied, II am per.

took his seat amid burst Of laughter from
both bar and audience.

TIE FIRST Iowa CAvALRY.-One Of the
finest regiments in the United States ser.
vice is the 1st Iowa cavalry. The very
flower of Iowa composes its material men
of education, wealth, social position, cul'
ture. 1t is stationed on police duty in ives.
tern Missouri its gallant officers are charg.
ed with the pursuit or search in the bush
of butternut bushwhackers its soldiers,
who aspired to honorable field service when
they enlisted, are obliged to busy them.
selves with the work of petty constables.
We make this compliment, not in the
name or by prompting Of any man of the
regiment They are too well bred to COM
plain or authorize anybody to complain for
them. The duty assigned them, be it what
it may, they will do, and omit no point in
exact performance.
An eminent citizen and civilian Of Iowa
who has many personal friends in that reg
iment, and who feels some State pride in
the excellence of military body which
composes not few of the elite of the State,
expresses to US the modification which he
feels at having the lst Iowa cavalry put out
of sight, upon duties requiring no military
powers, and affordng neither danger
nor chance Of distinction.-St. Louis Dem:

T A few silly pated women Of Aem-
phis, calling themselves ladies, have tho't
it "smart" to take pattern after their weak
sisters in New Orleans by offering insult to
federal officers on the streets. An engineer
on one Of the gunboats, while walking thro'
the city few evenings since, passed
group of women sitting in the portico Of
very respectable looking private residence.
As he was passing, one Of the women turn.
ed up her pretty nose in disgust, and an.
other put her handkerchief to her delicate
nasal protuberancc. The appearance Of
these women would have forbidden any
suspicion that they were not ladies' but
their actions betrayed them. The officer
who is noted for undue suavity under all
circumstances, suddenly stopped in his
walk and confronting the fair demoiselles
said, ladies, it was not me, pom my word
it was not j. The rcbcllcsses retrsated in
great haste, and the officer passed on.

RlDlcULoUs.-Th tone of partisan papers
is simply ridiculous. Claiming to be
earnest friends of the Union they are con.
tinually driving away at each other and
each others friends, with an animosity
which burns up the elements of patriotism,
and involves the readers of each in perplex-
ing antagonisms. For special illustration
of this matter, read the following sensible
paragraph from the Chicago Journal:
"A stranger just come to the country,
who would read the Chicago Times and
nothing else, about these days, would be
forced to the conclusion that this war is
prosecuted by Northern men to put down
President Lincoln, Secretary Stanton, Sec
retary Seward, General Banks, General
Fremont and General Hunter; and if he
should read only the Chicago Tribune, he
could not but come to the conclusion that
the side Of the war it is on is against that
on which General Mcclellan and General
Halleck are fighting.

One MORE Observation-Disclosures Ric6,
the watchman of the Market House, found
an infant apparently not more than forty
eight hours old in the privy attached to
that building, He took the. little foundling
home and at the present writing 1t is alive,
kicking and doing as well as could be ex.
pected under the circumstances.
Here is clue to another tale of scduci
ton, dishonor and crime. A heart broken,
life blasted, and cheek ever blushing
with conscious shame and guilt. Doubt.
less the brazen cause of all this ruin gaily
walks the streets, boasting Of his victory
over woman, or toys his leisure hotlrs
away in respectable parlors, plotting ne*
conqucsts. The poor victim mourns over
her sin stained condition in her deep de-
gradstion, and sitting the tenderest in.
stincts of motherhood, casts her child into
the street, while the worker Of her dndoinG
smirks and laughs along the street, and
would deem it disgrace should SO mean 4
thing as his cast-oF mistress dare to do 50
much as recognize him while he il in the
company Of others.
o, it almost makes one doubt there is
just God when we are suffering for the last
virtue meted out SO unsqually. Towards
the erring girl let all harshness be temper
ed with pity her burden is already more
than she can bear; while on the other hand
visit the srducer with the weight Of the
law, and all your scorn, aversion, and con.
tempt.-Du6uqus Times.

Con-. FARRAGUr HALF A CENTURY AGO.
The following is from an article, american
Heroism," in the Portfolio, relating to q
fight forty nine years ago:
Daniel Glasgow Farragut-a midship-
man on board the Essex, thirteen years Of
age, was knocked down by splinter which
struck him on the thigh, and disabled him
during the remainder of the action. While
supporting himself by the railing which
was placed around the hatchway on the
quarter deck, an eighteen pound ball carried
away the tail of his coat. Several men
were killed very near him, yet not the
slightest change was perceived either in his
countenance or manners, But no sooner
were the colors struck than he burst into
tears"

wordsin vindicationof himself, and had a long
memorial signed by all his scholars which
he wished to read, but neither was permit.

He Is an odd specimen Of on American,
Standing about six feet four, he towers
above his men with commanding physical

beard, covering, but not hiding, small

He speaks hesitatihEly, and Is evidently nos

sensibility, or sensation of fear nevet CAME
into his composition. So when his name
was mentioned ON the day Of battle, as t.
leading the advance, he replied
"Oh, yes, let me do it will 60 ahead
yes, to-. Gen.ar.al, my boys II a.

"There is no trouble about your going
ahead, General Milroy, but you are in dan
ger Of going too tar." -, ,,

So Milroy went ahead. About three o..

wood, in moment the leaden grain fed ita
iron stalks and the air was full of hustlihE
sounds, and brave men fell bleeding and dy.

to the rear. He lay quiet there in tho

Oh, but our soldiers are noble brave men:
I speak of the Americans more especially,
for have seen them under f3re, cool, brave,

in them. No eloquence of the historians $
