Exchange of Prisoners.

For several days ruror has asserted that the
late secret sessions of the Virginia Legislature re
had been spent in discussing certain resoiu-
tions urging the Confederate Government to
recall the outlawry Of Butler in order that an
exchange Of prisoners may be resu med. We
have no means of knowing whether the runlor
has any foundation in truth. We hope that the
Confederate Government will not allow itself
to be influenced in the least by any pressure
from outside.

THE LATEST POPULAR NONSENSE.

The following highly elegant and intellectual
production is said to be the every latest in Lon.
don. It is sung, whisted, danced, hummed and
Grunted by every body old enough TO walk --
THE HORRIBLE TALE.
o it's horrible tale I'm going 10 tell,
OF a sad n isortunc that beicl
A family that once resided
In the very self.samc street that did.
OF it's such a horrible tale,
It's sure tn make your checks turn pale,
Your eyes with tears will be overrun;
WiggIety, WaggIeiy, wigglety, wum.
They never saw any company
Tho highly respectable family,
Till each grew more sadier and sadder
And each was atirghted at the others shadow.
They pulled down the blinds to keep ont the light
TIL everything was as dark as night;
And as they were determined on suicidug
III tell you the manner they respectively died in.
One day as the father in the garden did walk,
lie cut ms throat with piece Of chalk:
The mother an end to her life did put
By hanging herself in the water butt.
The youngest daugh'er on bended knees,
sue poisoned herself With toasted cheese;
The youngest son, q deerminrd fellow,
Blew cut his brains with an old umbrella.
The gardiner came in and saw the blood,
lie ran himself through With piece of rhubub;
His wife Jaw the sight, and ID turned her savage
She burnt herself to death with red picked
cabbage.
The old tOmcat, as he sat by the fire,
Bit piece on the fender, aud then did expire;
Inc mes on the ceiling, their cases was the
wors'n,
For they blew themselves up with a spontaneous
combustion.
The old COW in the old cow-shed
Took up the pitchfori aud knock'd off her head
Inc little donkey, hearing the row,
Knocked out his brains with the head of the COW

The Court Journal has a letter from Paris, in
which is the following sketch of the fayorite dog
OF the French Emperor. We quote -
Neron, the Emperor's favorite, is a sort of half
breed, OF no particular race, but partaking Of the
good and bad qualities of all. The people about
the court declare him to be silent and So,ly7,oi,.
never barking when stranger enters his mas er 8
presence, but rising suddenly and flying after his
heels when be leaves the room so that the visitor
who had begun by doing the amiaJie to Neron-
who always lies stretched in superb nonch alauce
on the tigers skin beneath the Emperor's bureau
having forgotten the creatures very existence
by the time the interview is over is sometimes
taken by surprise, not Of the most pleasant kind
when Neron's claws are heard slidiag across the
polished pGrq.tet, and his short yelp of rage is
heard close to his boots.
The Emperor laughs heartily at the alarm ex
pressed by the astonished intruder for Neron
never ventures beyond the door, and was never
known but once to do more than express the dis
pleasure he feels at the long bowing and leave
taking his Imperial master has to endure II ia
one OF the few domestic jokes belonging TO the
Tuileres, and Neron's idiosyncracy is so well
known that 1t is one Of the great delights of the
Prince Imperial to speculate upon the degree of
hatred he bears towards each departing visitor
Neron is descended in right line from that valiant
prison'dog OF Ham, who, intelligent beyond all
previous calculation, put to shame the mistrust
felt by the prisoners friends, proud In the supe-
ri0r intellect which they fancied peculiar TO
humanity, by never betraying the smallest token
OF recognition when Prince Louis Napoleon Bona
Parte, destined TO become the Emperor OF the
French Datien, passed him as he lay before the
stone steps of the porters lodge. Instinct had
told the rejecting animal that the time was un-
seasOna0le for demonstration, and that the mys-
terry with which his old friend ard patron had
chosen TO surround himself ought to be respected

We may abridge an interesting story Of Pasa-
mini. His violin got fall in its case, which un.
glued an inner block. Tie won't to NJ. Vuillaume
IN distress, SAYING his viOin--a world wide
famous Guarnerus-had lost It's tone. Vuillaume
SAID the instrument must be opened TO which
faganlnl at last consented, on condition it should
Oe zone IN his own presence. at is impossible
70 describe the torture which Paganini endured
lie twirled about made grmaces, and suffered
Ike martyr, uttering exclamation Which plainly
showed the affection he entertained for his
instrument, and the dreadful fears which he ex-
perienced at each crack caused by the breaking
away of the glue as it yielded to the action of
the thin knife Paganini then agreed to part
with the instrument for three days. We suspect
three hours would have done but Vullaume
determined to make facsimile, which he took
measures to DO. Paganini, when he got the dear
fiddle sgain, was delighted with it, said it was as
good as before and few days afterwards, when
Nuillaume paid IL a viSit ut his request, said II
have bad two pins made, one for the doctor of
my body, the other for the doctor of my vIo'in."
The pin was capital p, formed of twenty-three
diamonds. Nuillaume, astOnished at this geper-
Oslty, offered Paganini the fac. SiBlie he intended
to make. When Paganini saw this instrument
tine scene was strange and unaccountabe
Iaganini became serious and immovable. A look
OF doubt and fear oversprGad his features Then
ne seemed surprised He turned about the vio.
ms changed their places; and more than once
took the imitation for the original. He was evil
dently but little pleased to see violin so similar
to his own. At length he seized his bow to try
the new violin, and on sitting down exclaimed -
III Is very good it Is like mine it has the same
tone-the same quality it is my violin leave IL
with me-. Paganini then ordered another, at
go, which reached Nice just as he expired. The
nfst fac-slm'Ie is the instrument on which Siyori
plays.-AMeR@unl.

Fibs or the Press.

Liberty is much indebted to the press. So, we
regret to say, is license. From the time that
newspapers first shed their pleasant light upon a

As member of the guild we put it mildly.
GlancDg over the pages of "rare Ben Jouson"

which was put upon the stage in 1926 the fol-
lowing hard hit at the "aOle editors of that

said In his plays about the "News Letters" of the
carly part of the seventeenth century would ft a
