A slnruIar vOuna uebeI woman.


As we were passing along the street two
days ago in our usual quiet way, musing upon
Y" the storms Of State" and pondering upon our
solemn responsibility in this great crisis of the
affairs of the nation and of mankind, a very
pretty young woman, whom we had under
stood TO be fiery little rebel and even terri
bic vilifier of the Louisville Journal was about
meeting us, when, turning off from the side
walk, she protrudod her red and tempting lips
at US boldly and defiantly. "Oh certainly we
will If you want us TO very bad, though in
deed this is rather to public place" said we
with our accustomed suavity, advancing to-
ward her with our lips correspondingly pro-
truded, when, to our no little disappointment
and surprise, she started and ran away from
us as If we had been some ugly old fellow of
forty. 1-f..
Now, If that coquettish young creature real
ly presumed that we, occupying the position
we do, could consent for the sake of kiss to
pursue her at full speed through the streets of
large city like this in broad daylight, she
was never more mistaken in her life. We as
keenly appreciate kiss, that nectared sweet
ness, that double-mouthed RAPTURE that scarlet
ecstacy, that blazing contact of mated hearts
meeting upon the lips, that sudden bursting
forth of two souls into single blossom, as any
| other enthusiastic young man on earth, but, at
the same time, we have pride, dignity, n
| selt-respect, and even regard for the worlds
"conventionalities," that we would not sacri-
| fee for all the kisses that ever thrilled and
bewitched the sleeping visions and waking
dreams fyouth and beauty and loveliness and
love.
Now we tell that young rebel that she asks
for kiss in the wrong way, that she asks for
it at the wrong place and time, and that she
doesn't seem to know how to behave after she
has asked it. We have no disposition to say
more, and even our high regard for almighty
crinoline could not induce us to say less.-LOu

"The shipping and mercantile interests were

TREAsoN.--Hon. NOAH H. SwAYNE. associ
ate Justice ofthe United States Supreme Court
delivered an able charge to the Grand Jury Of
the Michigan District, at Detroit on Wednes
day last. He charged the Jury that no mere
conspiracy OF mob would be sufficient to es-
tablish the crime Of treason, but it must be
some open act Of levying war. 1t has been
held, said his Honor, that the clause in the
Constitution in relation to giving aid and com
fort to the enemy, applies only to a foreign
enemy, but there can be no doubt that extend
ing aid and comfort 10 those engaged in actual
war againt the United States would be treason
under the Constitution; that while the statute
provided for the trial Of those suspected OF
treason in the district where the treason was
committed, il was competent TO try those aid
ing and comforting traitors In the district
from which the aid was sent but he cautioned
the Jury that they must deliberate carefully
these questions, as concerning the liberties OF
the people and the safety of the Government
