LAST SUNDAY, Flag-Officcr Foote
was at Cairo, and attended the Pres
byterian Church. A large congrcg&-
ton was in attendance, but the preach
er did not make his appearance. A
general impatience beginning to man.
ifest Itself, the commodore sought the
elder of the church, and urged him to
perform the services. The elder re-
fusing, the Commodore, on the impulse
of the moment, took the pulpit, read a
chapter in the Bible, prayed, and de-
livcred short discourse from the text,
Let not your hearts be troubled. Ye
believe in God--believe also in us" :"
The congregation was delighted. On
coming down from the pulpit, the min
ister, who had arrived just after the
prayer, approached and rendered his
thanks, but the Commodore rebuked
him for his tardiness Of 9uty, and re-
preached him for his neglect to take
the pulpit Immediately on his arrival.
This incident is illustrative of the
Commodore's energetic, earnest char
acter and sincere piety. '.r"

There's poem by Sake, very witty, I own,
The subject Of which is ':Go it Alone"
And the wisdom Of which am slow to deride,
For read it with pleasure and profit beside,
And said TO myself it is just as You sing,

And never on others life's burdens I'll cast,
But will bear them heroic and brave to the last;
And further, muscd it is noble and grand,
When the storm beats about US, unaided to
stand;
And tits lovely the blessings Of sunshine to

And shelter the weak with protection and care
But own that my heart has grown fainter of

A DRUNKEN SENAToR.---The
Washington correspondent of the
New Yerk World has the, following
refreshing paragraph, in his letter re-
lative to the expulsion Of Bright.
"McDougall, Of California, being
drunk, as usual, attempted to make a
speech, and failed, as always. He
was very drunk; SO drunk that even
the official reporters will have hard
work to make English of the few
uncouth sentences which rolled from
his lips. Three thousand people knew
he was drunk, and I see no reason for
not recording the fact in this letter
1t is a pity that there can be no expul-
sion from the Senate for sutrages of
Legislative decency." as5as as.z 4s's !

THE EFFECT OF THE NEWS.

Of course the good news promulga-
ted yesterday warmed up the town,
although the day was cold and stormy.
At the hotels and other public places
there were some lively scenes. The
new patriotic glee and chorus Of sold
John Brown was given with great
effect by citizens, soldiers, senator's
and representatives at the Merchants 5
Hotel. At other places the rejoicings
were equally enthusiastic but not quite
so systematic.
The news was received at the Cap
itol before the House adjourncd.--.
That body was patiently considering
and perfecting the details of the school
bill, when Mr.. Thaeher announced
that Fort Donelsen, Generals Floyd,
Pillow, johnson and 5000 others had
been captured by the American army.
Such cheers! The members rose to
their feet as of one accord-arms and
bodies performed wonderful gyrations
lungs were exercised to their ut
most-hats flew up to the ceiling
cheer upon cheer, tiger and bufly-for
the moment more noise being made,
more heartfelt demonstrations Of Joy
than was ever before exhibited in that
hall. 1t was no use for the Speaker
to suppress it, and We think he did
not try very hard.

A STRANGE ..DRsAM.-Old Squire
W: is au honest, jovial soul, with few
religious scruples-fond of a hearty
laugh or a good joke at any time. He
relates the following on himself as an
actual occurrence: One night, BOYS,
| had a strange dream. I thought I
was about to get to heaven. A long
ladder like Jacobs, reached from the
ground toward the good place. and it
was on this ladder that I went up
When I reached the top, found a
space Of seven or eight feet intervening
between the last round and the celes-
tial gate. / could see within and
catch glimpses Of the fine things inside.
Peter stood At the entrance--He lean
ed over-rsached out his hand and
told me to make big jump. | did
jump, boys, and got one Of the d--dest
falls you ever heard of-for I found
myself sprawling on the floor, having
jumped out of bed, while l was irving
70 jump into heaven

that the Britishers down in the Chesa-
peake were out of -four and would paw
something handsome for a supply
Now, these Pequog chaps had no -four,
my boy; but that didn't keep them
out of the speculation. They went to
the nearest graveyard, dug up all the
tomb stones, put them into an. old
quartz crushing nachine,pounded them
to powder, sent the powder to the
coast, and sold it to the Britishers for
the very best .12oee' ut taoezve dollars and
a half q barrel.
"New England needs no bulwarks
No towers along the steop;
She manu- features everything,
And sells it mighty cheap.
Rule wEngland New England rules
the trade.
There's not thing that grows OF goes
New England hasn't made!'
And can such a people as this be
conquered by a horde Of goddess re-
bells? Never, I repeat it, sir-never I!
Should the Jeff: Davis mob ever get
possession Of Washington, the Yam
KEGS would build wall around the
place, and invite the public to come
and see the menagerie, at two shillings
a head.
As person Of erudition, it plcases
me greatly my boy, to observe that our
more moral New York regiments cul.
tiva,e taste for reading, and are even
so literary that they can't so much as
ligh: their pipes without leaf out Of
hymn book.
This morning, my boy, I went with
Colonel Wobert Wobinson to look at
some new horses he had just imported
from the Erie Canal stables, for the
Western Cavalry, and was much pleas
ed with the display of homework. One
animal, in particular, interested me
greatly; he was born in 1776, had
both his hind legs broken on the from.
tier, in one Of the battles of 1912, and
lost both his eyes and tail at the taking
Of Mexico. The Colonel stated that
he had selected this splendid animal
tor his own use in the field.
Another fine calico animal of the
studwas attached to the suite of w ash
ingtcn, at the famous crossing Of the
Delaware, and is said to have surpris-
ed tile Hessians at Trenton as much as
the army did. Previous to losing his
teeth. he was sold to a Western dealer
in hides for three dollars; and the
dealer, being an enthusiastic Union
man, has let the Government have the
animal at one hundred and ten dollars.
A mousseline delaine mare also at
tracted my notice. She was sired by
the fNorite racer OF the Marquis de
Lafayette, and has been damned by
everybody attempting to ride her.-
The pretty beast comes from the cele.
brated Bone Mill belonging to the Erie
Canal, and only cost the Government
two hundred dollars.
Believing that the public funds are
being judicious|y expended. my boy,
| remain, Fondly thine own,
ORpHEUs @. KERR.
