Washington:
Some recent suggestions about the fit
ness of the modern Isaac Newton 1.-THE ice
cream peddlcr-nOt the astronomer for
the management of a great agricultural
department, have revived few of the
pleasant stories wherewith, every winter.
the Old gentleman unconsciollsly amuses
Washington. Once he was brought be-
fore Subcommittee of ways and means.
to explain the unaccountable expenses OF
his department. "How comes it. Mr..
Newton,' asked Justin S. Morrill,, "that
the expenses of your department have ov-
errun your estimates 50 much?' Leaning
over the table, and thrusting his finger
through Mr.. Morrill's button-holc, the be-
nevo!ent-looking old man said, in his low
est and most impressive tones, "The truth
Is, Mr.. Morrill,, the expenses of my de-
partment for the past year, have surpassed
my most sanguine expectations. The
explanation was too good to keep, and
MIR. Morrill, himself told it.

The New York World is now over
whelming President johnson with praise.
On the nomination of Lincoln and John
ston last year, it held the following Ian
guage:
The only merit we can discover in this
Baltimore ticket is the merit of consistent
cy; it is all of a piece; the tail does not
shame the head nor the head shame the
tail. A rail splitting butfoon and boor-
lsh tailor, both from the backwoods. both
growing up in uncouth ignorance, they
would afford grotesque subject for sa-
tlrlc poet, who might celebrate them in
such strains as Dean Swift bestowed on
Winston and Ditton, Or Aristophanes on
that servlle demagogue, Hyperbolus.
