ExPLANAToRY.-Mr. Bailey, the Auction

we gave yesterday of the sale of the McCel-
Ian and Lincoln pictures st the "Qeptral
House," few days ago, and suggested that
the liability of our language to misconstFuc-

etor of that establishment. We spoke of the
reputation of the house as not being above
that of the Fifth Avenue" This was not in
tended as slur at the character of the house
or Its proprietor, for we never were within
the doors of the one, Rss had we ever spoken
to or Knowingly seen the facs Of the other.
To both we were a profound stranger, and
had never heard aught concerning the house

very few of our public houses are free. Prob
ably in this respect it has differed from she

Good Reason for Voting.

A gentleman III Philadelphia, whose love Of
country predominates over mis- love of party
gives the following as his reason for not az
herring to his party nomination. In letter
TO a brother in New Hampshire, he says:
"You ask me, as an old Democrat, for whom
| wld vote at the coming Presidential cleo
ton. You will 10 DOUBT be surprised when
tell you FOR LincoLn-Lincoln, the despised,
'vaclllating Abulitlonist.' Aud why? Be
cause he will not compromise with Southern
traitors, aud they knoc IT, They must lay
down their arms aud ask for sutfiauce from
his Government. You may ask me, Why NO,
vole for Mcclellan? Because the moment
he is elected, aud The fact becomes known III
England aud France, those Governments will
take immediate steps TO recognize the South
ern Confederacy, without the lear they now
have OF involving themselves In war with
US, as the election of Mcclellan would un-
doubtsdly prove to them that u majority o.
the Northern people were in favor OF separa
ton, and those nations, being the first to re-
cognize, would naturally gain great CONNER
cial advantages over all Others. Ii they were
to recognize the South now as q separate
Government, the North, believe, would be
as unit, and war with England would BE-
the immediate and inevitable result Ii we
elect Mcclellan, the die is surely cast, and we
are truly divided"

The World is Round.

The Louisville Journal paper claiming
to be very loyal, but which is afflicted with
"nigger on the brain," and is constantly try
ing to see how near it can run to the edge OF
the precipice beneath which treason seethes
and foams without falling of, says:
"The wing who now refuses to act with the
democratic party is an apostate. He refuses
TO stand just where he has always stood"
No paper has fought the Democratic party
more zealously or more bitterly than this same
Louisville Journal, yet its editor contends that
the wing, in standing where he always STOOD"
finds himself now acting with the democratic
partyl Certainly the wings and democrats
but few years since stood back to back, fac
ing opposite ways, and both claim to have
kept straight ahead, to have gone straight for
ward, and yet we now, according to the Jour-
nal. ind them acting together, ia the same
mel, engaged in the same disloyal work.
The only way to account for this singular
phenomenon is by The fact that the world is
round!

An Incident.

To the Editor Of the Press: n
A few days ago, having to provide enter
tainment for bright lad from the country, !
stroled with him into the pleasant rooms q
the Society of Natural History. 1t was a
warm Wednesday, and quite crowd of per-
sons filled the rooms and galleries. Whilt
my young companion devoted himself to
making the acquaintance of the bear, tn.
seal and the other marvels, set myself t.
a quiet study of some of the human speci-
mems.
In one of the small rooms, away from the
crowd, my attention was drawn to two young
ladies of quiet and refined appearance, who
had paused at the spot where hangs upon the
wall the old flag flown by the Enterprise" in
her contest with British vessel off Portland
harbor during the war of 1872. 1t is rent
and tattered thing, riddled by shot, faded by
time, aud soiled with the smoke and CRIME o.
battle, till there is little in its first appearance
to make it attractive to lady's eye. watch
ed them as they read the label which is at
tached to this relic, and saw the color deepen
on the two sweet, thoughtful faces. They
glanced at each other, their eyes flashes
proudly and then filed with tears, and as i
moved by a simultaneous impulse, bent dow
and pressed each reverent kiss upon thos'
stained and time-worn folds. They had no
exchanged word, but the look, the action
we're sufficiently eloquent; and as l turned
away that they might not see themselves OBJ
served, knew that there, at least, were tw,
hearts which beat with true devotion t,
that flag which is the emblem of their coun
try's greatness. Perhaps they are the daugh
tiers OF a soldier; perhaps they have broth
er or some other dear friend lighting to sus
tain on Southern fields the starry bannel
which they love. Ii so may God keep hin
and restore him In safety to their arms; ano
may He speed theday when that flag, victori
Gus over domestic as hitherto over foreigl
foes, shall wave once more over peaceful, 4
happy and united people. AN IDLER.
