a Sharp Ret9rt.

The In Crosse Democrat is responsible
for the following good thing:-At one Of
the hotels in our city, the landlord said to a
boarder-
"See here. Mf-, the chambermaid
found hair-pin in your bed this morning,
and it will not answer"
WelI,' replied the boarder, 81 found a
hair in the butter this morning, but it did
not prove you had a woman in it."
The two men looked at each other fol
about ten seconds, when each smiled and
went his way, 10 doubt pondering on the
peculiarities Of circumstantial evidence.

We have heard the rebel yell.
We have heard the Union shout,
We have weighed the matter very well
And mean to fight it out;
In victory's happy glow,
In the gloon of utter rout,
We have pledged ourselves-"Come veal o
woe,
By heaven! we fight it out"
Tis now too late to question
What brought the war about:
'Tis thing of pride and passion,
And we mean to fight it out
Let the "big wigs" use the pen,
Let them caucus, let them spout,
We are half million weapened men
And mean to fight it out.
Our dead, our loved, are crying,
From many stormed redoubt,
In the swamps and trenches lying
"Oh, comrades, fight it out!
Twas our comfort as we fell
To hear your gathering shout,
Rolling back the rebels weaker yell
God speed you, fight it out!'
The negro-free or slave
We care no pin about,
But for the flag our fathers gave
We mean to fight it out
And while that banner brave
One rebel rag shall 1out,
With volleying arm, and flashing glaive
By heaven, we fight it out
Oh, we've heard the rebel yell,
We have heard the Union shout,
We have weighed the matter very we'll
And mean TO fight it out;
In the flush Of perfect triumph,
And the gloom of utter rout,
We have sworn on many bloody field
1--WE mean to fight it out!'

who hates the Government because he loves
negro slaves better than his own soul" The

No power in the human soul should
ever be weakened-one can not repeat
this too often--only its counter-balan-
cling power strengthened; in squirrels
the upper row Of teeth often grow
painfully long, but only whom the
lower one is lost.
Experience is solemn fowl, that
cackles oftener than sho drops real
live eggs. Wise men have said a
great many foolish things; and foolish
men, we have no doubt, as many wise
ones.
Grant, 0 mothers, to your dear
ight-hcarted little ones their sports
around the nowers--t hcir minutes

solemn and painful duties.
Out Of the wild American youth
there may grow thoughtful member

Curious Story of q Legacy.

In the year 1905 the following
strange circumstances occurred in con-
nection with will +: Two gentlemen,
who had been left executors to a
friend, on examining the property,
found scrap Of paper, on which was
written: several hundred pounds in
Till" This they took in the literal
sense, searched his office and all other
apartments carefully, but in vain.-
They sold his collection Of books to q
bookseller near the News, and paid
the legacies in proportion to the sum
realized. The singularity of the cir
cumstance occasioned them frequently
to converse about it; and at last it
flashed across one Of them that among
the books sold, moro than seven weeks
before, there had been folio edition
of Tilloston's sermons. The proba-
bility of this being what was alluded
TO by the word Till on the piece of
paper, made him Immediately call on
the BOOKSELLER who had bought tho
books, and ask if he had still the edi-
ton Of Tilloston which had been in
cluded in the purchase. On his reply
in the affirmative, the gentleman i'm
mediately rebought and carried them
home. On carefully examining the
leaves, he found bank notes singly
deposited in various places to the
amount of 600. But what is per-
hans no less remarkable. the hook
seller informed him that gentleman
at Cambridge, to whom he had sent
one of his catalogues, finding no had
this edition on sale, lad written and
desired it might be sent to him, which
was accordingly done, and the parcel
forwarded by carrier. The books not
pleasing the gentleman, they were re-
turned, and had remained on the
shelf in the shop up to tho period of
this singular discovery .-DubAa Uni

Why GARmALDI LEFT ENGLAND. -
The veil of mystery is not yet lifted
from the minds of the English people
in regard TO the real motives which
induced Garibaldi's hasty departure
for Capera, his island home. Minis
tiers and other public men have seen
fit to disavow all completely in the
matter, though sometimes with such
qualifications as serve TO allay suspi-
cion without removing il. Their as
sertions amount to little more than
this-that the French Emperor ex-
pressed no displeasure at the reoep-
ton given to the Italian 'Liberator. I"
Mr.. Gladstone is most explicit when
he says Of Garibaldfs sudden aban-
ment of his contemplated tour, sit
was his own spontaneous suggestion"
Notwithstanding oil this, the convic-
ton still abides that in some form or
other Garibaldi was made to feel the
pressure Of an unseen hand. The
London Star says
Only the credulity Of skepticism
can believe, after all that has now
transpired, in the genuineness of what
we may call the official theory of Gar
ibaldIs departure. 1t requires pro-
found unbeliever in obvious facts to
believe that anxiety for the Generals
health was the real and regnant rea-
son of his dismissal to Capera. If
neither Belgravia had tired of him
nor Downing street feared him, it is
yet az certain that he desired to see
the provinces as the provinces desired
to see him. What more is certain we
may possibly know when he again
energies from Capera-the sanatarium
of Stagord House.
In due time the secret will be dis
closed. 1t may be the whole story is
told in the simple words of the Chan
cellor of the Exechequer to the Carl
baldian committee, "that as his only
motive in coming to England was to
thank the government and the people
for the assistance and sympathy they
had given to his country, and as that
had been accomplished, he had better
now return, and take another oppor-
tunity of visiting the English provin-
oes." 1t is more likely, however, that
the British ministry caused an init
nation to be held before Garibaldi,
that in the present condition Of Euro
pean affairs, and considering the deli
cato condition of the relations of
France to England, his visit was un-
fortunate and might get them into
trouble if continued with renewed ova-
tons, and it would very much conduce
TO the ministerial comfort, and per-
haps help them out of a scrape, if he
would cut short his visit. Garibaldi
is good natured fellow, and was
very willing to crafty them, and so
went. 1t looks moro like this than
anything else.

The Army and Lincoln.

1t is notorious that the army almost en-
mssse desire the reelection Of President
Lincoln. Officers and men prefer him 70
any other candidate; they have faith in
him; they believe him to be their warm
friend, and that he does all for them in his
power. They know him to be ss true to
the cause of liberty az Jefferson, and to
National unity as Jackson. he has done
well so far, and like wine grows better as
he grows older.
Soldiers like to be commanded by expe-
rienced officers. Lincoln has had three
years experience; he begins to understand
the details Of his manifold duties. He has
pretty well learned his trade, and has now
become skillfdl workman. The boys in
blue don't want him thrown overheard
right in the middle ofthe voyages when he
is bringing the ship Of state safely into
port after having successfully pilOted her
through shoals, breakers, rock, and hurri-
canes. They want him to remain where
he is, until he finishes his big job, and sees
the last rebel lay down his arms and sui
to the National authority.

Every Richmond paper has its fling at
Governor Brown Of Georgia, for his oppo-
sition 10 JEFF. Davis and the measures Of
the rebel Congress. The Examiner talks
about the CONSUMPTION act thus:
1t is enough to say, in general, that if
the law of oonscriptioD had not been made
in 1862, Governor Brown would now moul-
der in his grave, fill prisoners cell in a
Yankee penitentiaFy, or wander a miser-
able exile in strange lands; Georgia's
plantations would have Yankee owners,
and the Wretched remainder of its thrifty
population at this moment would envy the
lot of their own negroes. Had that law
been never made, the forces Of the United
States would long ago have swept from the
earth the last Vestiges Of the Southern
COnfederscy, and Of the society for the
defense of which it was organized and if
it had not been extended at the last ses-
sion Of Congress, the evil day would only
have been postponed-our armies would
have been dissolved, and all the blood Of
three years would have been poured out to
no purpose. The same species of answer
to sll the attacks which a lawyers inge-
nuity can pick in the law regulating the
currency, is equally conclusive. In an
other month, Treasury notes would not
have been worth the blank paper on which
they we're printed. The country would
have now been not only deprived of cur
rency, but Of credit; that is to say, Of the
power to create a new currency. The ne
cessity Of things, and the right of self
preservation, justify trifing wrongs.

This bold Kentucky Congressman made
q powerful speech at Lexington, Kentucky,
in which he indorssd the enrolling of ne
grOes and The use Of every means to put
down the rebellion. The following is q
synopsis;
After tracing the early history Of seces-
sion in the States, and the fictitious pleas
OF peace uttered by the secessionists Of
Kentucky, he passed to the duty of her
loyal citizens nnder the present exigency.
he had pledged himself 10 vote men and to
put down the rebellion. Unlike his oppo-
nent he had kept his pledge as neoes-
sary means TO prosecute the war. The
cOnscript law had been passed by Congress.
He had voted for the amendment to pay
loyal owners for their slaves who were
conseripted. The negro was no better
worth saving from the rebel bullet than a
white man. A negro could dig bitches or
drive teams ss well az his son or brother,
drafted 10 do the servile work Of the army.
Not loss than 10000 negroes were even
nowemplOyed by the government for army |
purposes, as lsborers or soldiers. II the |
negro is too good for such work, then I50,- |
600 white men must be drafted TO fill their |
places. He uttered a withering denuncia-
tion Of the Congressman from Kentucky, |
who condemned the peace party of the
North when candidates, and now soughtto
transfer the loyal party Of Kentucky bod
lily to that detestible clique His defences
Of his votes in Congress was complete and
called forth the NEST hearty indersement
Of the audience.
In refence to the Presidential election
be stated that he did not know who the
Union candidate would be, but he would
be elected. He should attend the Bali
more Convention himself and would
stand by its nominee. 1t is a gratifying
evidence Of progress to hear a radical
SO heartily Endorsed in the
very centre Of the slsve-Owning district Of
Kentucky.
