to :he public on matters and things.
SINCE last fmeyandered these streets, l
have bin all over the Pacific Slopes and
Utah. cum back now, with my virtoo
unimpaired, but I've got 10 git some new
clothes.
Many changes has taken place even du-
rim my short ABSENCE & sum on um lis
Sollum to contemplate. The house in
Verveck street, where l used to Board, is
bein torn down. That house, which WAS
rendered memorable by liyin' into il. is
"parsin' away! parsin' away!' But some
of the timbers will be made into canes,
which will be sold to my admirers at the
low price of one dollar each. Thus is
changes goin' on con,inerly. In the New
World it is warm the Old World En-

But, says some folks if you stop impor.
tin things, you stop the Revenoo On the
same princ:ale young men should centiner
to get drunk on French brandy and to
make their livers as dry as corn'cob
with Cuby cigars becouse sooth if they
don't it will hurt the Revenoo. This talk
bout the Revenoo is of the bosh, boshy.-
One thing is ,olbly certain--if we don't
send gold out of the country We shall have
the cancellation of knowing that it is in the
country. So say great credit is doc the
wimin for this patriotic move-and to tell
the trooth, the wimin' generally know
that they're bout. Of oil the blessens
they're the soothinest. If there'd never
bin amp wimin, where weuld my children
BE to-day?
But hope this move will lead to other
moves that air just as much needed, one Of
which is a genral and .herrer curtainment
Of expenses round. Tne fact is, We air
gettin' terribly extravagant, & onless we
paws in our mad career. in less thad two
years the goddess of liberty will be seen
dodgin' into Pawn Brokers shop with

if she don't have to Spout the gold staas in

rore.fathers, who knowd moreu we do, if
they wont quite so honest! (Su,tle goak'
e.h.)
There air other cheerin' signs. We
don't for instuns, lack great Gen rails, and
we sertainlp don't lack brave soldiers
but there's one thing wish We did lack,
and that is our present Congress.

delmity's footstool all over with ten.hoss
power mikrisacpe. you won't be able to
end such another pack Of popppcock gab-
blers as the present Congress Of the Uni
ted States of America.
Gentlemen Of the SENT & Of the House,
you've sot there and draw'd your pay ard
made summer complaint speeches long
enough. The country at large. inc'udin'
the undersiged, is disgasted with you
