SARCASTIC SENTENCE.-Old Elias Keyes
formerly First Judge of Windsor county,
Vermont, was a strange composition of folly
and good sense, of natural shrewdness and
want of cultivation. The following sentence,
it is said, was pronounced upon poor rag
ged fellow, convicted for stealing pair of
boots from General Curtis, a man of consid-
cradle wealth in the town Of Windsor:
"Well;" said the Judge, very gravely, be-
fore pronouncing the sentence of the court,
undertaking to read the fellow a lecture,
you're fine fellow to be arraigned before
the court for stealing They say you're
poor-no one doubts it who looks at you
And how dare you, being poor, have the i'm
pudence to steal pair of boots Nobody
but rich people have a right to take such
things without paying. Then they say you
are worthless-that is evident from the fact
that no one has ever asked justice to be done
to you; all by unanimous consent, pronounced
you guilty before you were tried Now you
might know you would be condemned. And
now you must know that it was great ag
gravation that you stole them in that large
town of Windsor. In that large town to
commit such an act is most horrible And
not only go into Windsor to steal, but you
must steal from that great man, General
Curtis. This caps the climax of your in
iquity. Base wretch ! why did you not go
and steal the only pair of boots some poor
man had, or could get? And then you
would have been let alone-nobody would
have troubled themselves about the act. For
your iniquity in stealing in the great town of
Windsor, and from the great General Cur
tbs, the Court sentences you to three months
Imprisonment in the county Jail, and may
God give you something to eat p

Etiquette requires that in Chinese con-

though not the precise words:
"What is your honorable name ?"
any Insignificant appellation is Wong"
"Where is your magnificent palace ?"
any contemplate hut is at Suchan."
"How many are your illustrious children?

And everybody loves the soldier now.

For everybody loves the soldier now.
Behold the "greenbacksh fresh and new
It's so-there's no mistake about itnow
See countless friends come crowding too.
All everybody loves the soldier now.

Each step, warm greetings, smiles graceful bow,
With please come up" "do, please, call DOWN.
Sure, everybody loves the soldier now!
On to his arm the ladies cling.
The greenbacks almost make them take the vow

Poor souls how much they love the soldier now
The clerks at the door, "your face know"
"Your health, the health of all the soldiers how!''
"We're bound to suit ""all very low"

To doggery next. Oh look in yonder slough,

The maidens smiles, the lovers sghs,
That were so long ago?

The Unionists Resolved on the Capture of
Mobile-Activity and Energy of Admiral
FarTagut- The Rebel Authorities Pre-

Mobile-Activity and Energy of Admiral
Farragut- The Rebel Authorities Pre-
pairing for the Approa ching Struggle, etc.
From the Richmond Wing, August 81
Since the surrender of Fort Morgan Farragut
and Granger have had nothing to do except to
prepare for the great job before them-the taking
of Mobile.
That they will make an effort, and despe.
rate one, to reduce the city, is certain, as no
off1cer in the Yankee navy has more energy,
courage, or skill, than Farragut, and these
qualities in him will stimulate the Yankee
land forces to perform more than their accus-
toned deeds of daring. But all this will not
avail, because the defenders of the city are
working night and day like badgers upon its
defenses, and are bringing into the ranks every
available man that can pull trigger or ram q
cannon.
Major General Jones NJ. Withers, who has
been appointed to the command of all the re-
serves OF Alabama, has entered upon the work
OF organizing and equipping them with an
earpestness which gives promise that in the
hour OF trial they will prove most efficient
element of defense in the approaching struggle.
Governor Watts is backing him to the utmost
extent OF his authority as executive OF the
State.
ON the o3d General Higgins tried the guns
OF the batteries around the city to see that
they were in proper position and in working
crder
While every preparation which skill and
patriotism can suggest is being made for the
successful defense of Mobile, il will be seen
~ the following letter from General Maury to
the Hon. K G.. Scott, that he is not, in the
mean while, unmindful of the safety and COM
1ofL OF non combatants.
"MoBiLn, august l2.-Ay Dear Sir The
non-eSmoatan.S OF Mobile give me more con-
Germ man al else. my will not go away
greatly by causing planters To notify the edi-
tors here that they can relieve ana shelter so
many OF this class until 1t may be safe for them
to return to the city. Their presence here du-
ring active nostiiitiss will greatly hinder the
defense.
with great respect and in haste, yours
truly, DABNEY II MAURx.''
