JEFF Davis was warrior bold,
And vowed the vants should fall.
He Jumped into his pautaloops
And swo-e he'd rule them all:
But when he saw the Yankees come
To hang him n they could,
He jumped into petticoat
And started for the wood.

A Curt Answer.

Some years ago, an old sign-painter, who
was very cross, very gruf, and little deaf,
was engaged to paint the Ten Command
men,s on some tablets in a church not five
miles from Buffalo. He worked two days
at it. and at the end ofIthe second day the
pastor Of the church came TO see how the
work progressed. The old man stood by,
smoking pipe, as the reverend gentle.
man ran his eyes over the tablets. "Eh y
said the pastor, as his familiar eye detected
something wrong in the wording of the
precepts !. why, you careless old person,
you have left part of the commandments
out don't you see 2"
no. no such a thing" said the old man,
putting on his spectacles mo, nothing
left out--where ?" naa. s.a.
why, there !" persisted the pastor -
"look at themlin the Bible you have left
some Of the commandments out"
Well, what if Ihave y said old Obsti-
macy, as he ran his eye complacently over
his work =; "what il / have There's more
there now than you'll keep!'
Another and more correct artist was
employed the next day.

WHTsKEY SMUGGLING OVER THE CANADIAN
BORDERS Cdpdci0uS Bdbies.-The Com
missioner of Customs, who. has recently
been making every effort to suppress the
extensive smuggling operations which for
"A long time have been going on along the
Canadian frontier, has received intelligence
from the revenue,deiective stationed there
that they have just detected AN ingenious
scheme for conveying whisky from Canada
to the United States:
The attention Of the officers was first
attracted by the extraordinary number OF
women aud babies OH a railroad train bound
ioathe United States, and their suspicious
were aroused from the fact that out Of thir.
ty,two ;'hlessed babies" but two gave eyi-
dtnce of the irrepressible animation, .pecu,
liar to juveniles. The "mothers," likewise,
seemed especially anxious to screen their
little nnocents heads from prying curiosi-
ty, folding them closely to their breasts,
and permitting only the neat little feet and
legs, encased in tiny shoes and stockings,
% be exposed to the gaze Of the passen
gers The detectives were on the alert,
aud at the first station this side of the riv-
er where several Of the possessors of the
passive Juveniles left the train, one of the
officers politely requested permission of a
lady to hold her "baby while she aIighted.
Struck with the unusual weight Of the in
lant, Il the excessive solicitude fthe moth
+r, the officer commenced an Investigation,
and on removing the wrappings discovered
that the interior was a tin case, fashioned
after The siniIltude of veritable baby, fill.
ed with from three to FIVE gallons of whis-
Ky. A general descent was at once made
ON the bogus mammas, resulting in the ar.
rest of about thirty, aud the securing of
over one hundred gallons of old rye.

Opening of Congress.


.
The Capitol was dansely crowd d by Wis
ltOrs to-day, for the purpose OF witnessing
the opening scenes of Congress. Since
last session considerable Improvement has
been made to the interior, and the Halls
begin to assume their intended appearance!
The old railing and walls which obstructed
the passage from the roiunda to the Con-
gressional Library has been removed. and
a neat white marble railing substituted
In the rotunda several new paintings are
displayed, and the ceiling is sill unfinished,
platform, used by the artists engaged III
painting the upper portions of the arch,
obstructlng the view into the apex of the
dome. The staircase leading to the top OF
the dome is completed. and a number OF
parties, for The first time, cl 'mbe.l 10 the
lofty height, to obtain view of the city
and its envrous. The passage from the
eastern pOrtico Of the south wing TO the
Hall Of Representatives is also finished,
adding very much to the beauty of that
portion efthe building. The old Hall in
its new dress presents very fine appear
ance The floor of marble tile is all laId
down, and several busts Of distinguished
men are mounted on pedestal within the
high bronze railing which b0rders the mar
row passage. A new carpet, imported from
France, has been put down on the floor OF
the House, and new furniture has bee ad
ded to many of the adjacent apartments. =
With the exception Of the increased num-
Der OF desks for members. the hall presents,
however, the same appearance as last win
ter, the carpet being light green, with
small orange colored stars. No change is
noticeable ih the Senate wing. eaii
By IL o'clock all the corridors surround
ing the Hall of Representatives were block
ed up by the throng, hundreds making
strenuous efforts to force passage into
the reporters gallery, which by great ex-
ertion on the part of the doorkeeper was
preserved exclusively for the members Of
the press. The families of repre-
sentatiyes of foreign Governments fill
ed the gallery assigned TO the Diplomatic
Corps, many being compelled to stand in
the isle and doorway During the call of
the roll by the Clerk of the House, the
space in the rear of the members desks
was occupied by crowds Of visitors, whom
the doorkeepers were unable TO eject
There were quite number Of Southern
Representatives present, most ofthem taking
seats among the other members. banr
