TAKE 1T WARM "A deaf old lady, who brought
an action for damages against a neighbor, was
being examined, when the judge suggested a
compromise, and Instructed her counsel to ask
what she would take to settle the matter.
''What will you take3" asked the counsel of
the old lady.
She shook her head at the counsel, Informing
the jury IL confidence, that she was "very hard
o hearin''
ellis Honor wants to know what you will
take2" asked the learned counsel again, this
time bawling as loud as he could in the old la
dy's ear.

dame, "and if it is no inconvenience to him, I'll

six, have occurred in Brooklyn, L. l.,

girls to enter room in the house of his
parents, in Williamsburg, and, after Sc
curing the door, violated. both children
in succession. The young fend was sent
to the House of Refuge. On Wednesday
morning an old NAN, "a Germany named

trial for committing similar offence upon
little girl Of six years old, named
Elizabeth Rhineholz, on the 18th of June

The Philadelphia Press, in gmptlng
to Justify the continuance Of military
rule. argues that the government has to
make peace with the rebels individually,
and that, so long as single person who
has been engaged in the rebellion re-
mains unpardoned or UNPUBLISHED, peace
cannot be proclaimed. We suppose,
therefore, that the whole people of the
United States must be deprived of their
usual liberty and rights and martial law
must prevail from the st. Lawrence to
the Rio Grande, because there may be In
some of the swamps Of Florida or the
cane brakes of Louisiana a solitary reb-
Fl who has not yet reported to the Pro-
vost Marshal and taken the oath OF ale
glance. If this doctrine is acted upon

see entire peace restored during the next
ten wears. Provost MarshalS will con-
tinue to make arrests and military COM
missions will continue to convict the
citizens of northern States for alleged
infractions of military law, because
somewhere in the South there remains an
uupardoned rebel To what absurd con
illusions the advocates and apologiSts of
arbitrary power are driven

Before his Inauguration Mr.. JOHNSON
frequently expressed opinions very hos
tile to the continuance Of the French
empire in Mexico, but since he became
President he has made no official decla-

Democratic antscedents would seem to
Justify the opinion that he will seek to
prevent any foreign monarch from OBJ

Of course those who admire the Ma

Jokes ON Barnum.

The New York reporters have been un-
able to resist the temptation to treat the
destruction of Barnum's Museum as a
capital joke. The CONSERVATION and
flight of the animated curiOsities, the
menagerie and the distinguished person
ages represented among the wax works,
afforded material for innumerable jokes
and witticlsms. One reporter declares
that the fat woman was rescued only with
the aid of derrick, by which she was
lowered from third story window. The
Door whale, which was roasted alive, Is
said to have run rivers of oil and pro-
duced brilliant illumination. The light
ming calculator, by virtue of his peculiar
mathematical ability. was able to calcu-
late with accuracy the exact distance
from the second story to the sidewalk
and the precise time it would take him
to travel the distance, and therefore
escape unscathed The chronological
professor developed his bump OF self
preservation, and saved the rest of his
bumps. Most of the animals, snakes and
fish persisted in the flames, but few Of
the monkeys escaped A terrified ourang-
outang is said to have sought shelter in
the Herald office in hopes of obtaining a
position in the editorial department OF
that paper. The wax figures" came to
grief in various ways. JEFF. Davis was
pitched out of the window and lost his
head. Queen Victoria and her hopeful
heir were undignifedly bundled out by a
fireman who had no respect for royalty.
Louis Napoleon stuck stolidly to his
glass case, with his friend Victor Eman-
uel, who melted together, commiugling

Law and Order.

MfssHs. EDITORS: Every citizen Of any
government should so demeam himself
chat neither the laws of his country
should be violated, nor the good order OF
we'll regulated society should be dis
turbea by his acts.
Good order is natural sequence of
good law Wherever and whenever law
i; disregarded, order is deranged The
very soul and essence of civil law Is de-
6ned by Blackstone as commanding
what is right and prohibiting what is
wrong" Municipal laws generally lie
1--WE their legitimacy from legislative
bodies, and those legislative bodies de.
I'VE their powers from constitutions es-
iablished by conventional assemblies,
which, in republican form of govern
ment, represent the people
Thus the people, througha succession
nf agencies, enact laws for the govern
ment of the people. This was the avow.
ed and legitimate purpose of the trainers
of our Government 1t was intended
that the machinery OF, our republican
form of government, should prodnce what
an English writer terms laE-" Beaifceace
acting By ,ule" Thus then the civil con.
duct Of every citizen was to be prescrib.
ell by the supreme power. which was viz.
tually vested in the people, the COM
nands and prohibitions thus prescribed
being the supreme law of the land.
And these, therefore, every good citi
zen is bound to respect and obey. There
can be no exception to this corollary.-
Not even the high officials to whom have
heen delegated powers to execute the
laws Under the wise and genial struc-
ture of our Government the military was
inferior tocivil law. 1t was so wilied by
tho people At its formation. And so it
must be nolc, unless the people, through
their proper representatives, will it 9th

change this order. of things by the party
now in power cannot be denied Wheth.
er they will succeed depends entirely up
on the spirit OF the people. Burke, that
brightest star in; the galaxy of English
statesmen, says that good order is the
foundation of all good things" Can it,
therefore, be presumed. that a. people,
who have been soprosperous and happy
