La Crosse wisconsin, Democrat, and
better known throughout the West by
the name of Brick" Pomeroy, thus
happily hits of in his sprigh,ly paper
Mr.. Ltncoln's off-told story about swap
ping horses when crossing g stream:
The illustrious widow maker now en-
throned at the White House in Wash
ington has made aj,ke into an aphor :
ism, and for the third time IN his life
calls up the story of swapping horses
when crossing stream. To judge
from the elongated monarch's sly ref
erence to the equine quadruped, one
would infer that he was born in a sta
bic, which may account for his unsta-
hle character. He ssys it is a bad
time to swap horses when crossing II
stream, yet has applied his argument
to others in full reversal.
We are willing to agree with Abe
that, ordinarily speaking, tits bad to
swap horses while crossing. But when
the horse insisted that he could cross
the stream in three months--when the
keeper of the horse assured the country

into four years when instead of cross
ing the srrea m directly, he has been
carried far below the starting poiat,
and has lost sight Of the landmarks he
struck out for--when he has changed
his course, and, instead of making
across the stream, goes plunging Wild

when million Of groomsmen have

has keepers is exhausted; when every

we'll enough to hold on, but when going

stream is growing wider, TIL its banks
are lost in the distance, it is time to

THE JACQUES AND GILMORE NEGOTIATIONS.
The Washington Chronicle, the spe.

the JACQUES and GnM3RE story
says:
'The mission to Richmond was iait,
lated and executed by Messrs, Gilmore
aud Jacques on their own private &C,
count; that they had nc authority who
ever to speak directly Or indirectly foI
the President Of the United States, off
cial!y or unoiiiclaIly, OF for Abraham
Lincoln unofi:ially or privately. II
Mr.. Benjamin's report Of the sayings
of Mr.. Gilmore and Jacques, while they
were in Richmond, is correct, they as,
sumed a responsibility not given to
them and made statements wholly uu,

was an approval of it. r4a
