VINO IS HE?-The man who frequents the
Academy of Music and sports a Colonels
eagles, and disgusts everybody with his
peacoekisms2 He sat near the stage at the
opera last Saturday night, and seemed to
have a game lett eye. He kept his left
hand brooding over it twO-thirds of the time.
He seemed very tired, and would lean his
face on his left elbow on the railing in front,
with said hand over said eye. 1t was dis
covered that he had an enormous ring on
his left hand large finger. 1t is not known
what allied his eye.
No one seems to know this gallant and
spread-eagle. He dresses ordinarily day
times, but when he goes to the theatre he
lets the eagles out of their cage to perch
upon his shoulders. At the Academy he
generally takes a chair in the " lobby" and,
getting restless, promenades said lobby,
grand as Charlemagne; grand in his
opinion. A great many sensible people
looking on the spread of this spring rooster,
have been bold enough to whisper to their
group as he promenades by them, the sug-
gestion that he have his wings cropped, and
be generally plucked after the similitude Of
"PIato's man." We would second the mo-
ton. He seems to have as much mind as
an average gorilla.

Man BADLY ScALDED.-James Cloak, en-
eineer at the Erie Warehouse, was very Sc
verely scalded on Saturday morning last, in
consequence of the explosion of a Aue in the
boiler. Removed to the Merchants Hotel,
a surgeon was summoned who pronounced
the injuries serious, but not necessarily
fatal. The engineer claims that the acct
dent was due to some disorder of the pump,
which would not allow its accustomed
working. A lack of water in the boiler was
doubtless the occasion of the explosion.

What is singular is, that, in Missouri,
where all clergymen, without distinction OF
denomination, are 3ject to this oath. the
authorities only enforce it against the priests
of the Roman religion. Ministers of episoop-
alisnism, Calvinism, Lutherism, have refused
to take the oath, but they are not troubled.
1t is catholics who are attacked, and in this
their enemies are so shortsighted as not to
observe that thus the nobler part they assign
to the catholic priesthood, and who in oonse-
quence, will become more respected and pop

A friend just returned from New York
tells us pretty good story of an Illinoisian
who was stopping at the sans hotel. On
Sunday the western man, being DESTROYS of
hearing several of the more famous pulpit
orators of the metropolis, went in the morn
ing to DR.. Cbapin's church and heard a stran-
ger preach from the text: And Simon's
wifes mother lay sick of fever" In the
afternoon he went to Beecher's Plymouth
church, and heard the same discourse, from
the same preacher. Going in the evening to
DIR. Osgood's church, he found the same cler
gyman and the same theme "Simon's wiie's
mother lay sick of fever" The next day
the patient nearer of the thrice-told discourse
was crossing to Brooklyn in ferry boat. when
the alarm bell in the park agitated the air
with it's great shocks of sound. and a man
behind him inquired why that bell was toll
ling. Looking up, he saw the now familiar
couutenance of the preacher, and was prompt
to reply: Il think Simon's wIfe's must be
dead | heard three times yerterday that she
was sick of fever"

Reverence for Relics.

We have written occasionally upon this sub
iect not go much to defend the Catholic venera-
ton for relics and mementoes to show that
this feature in the catholic church, which has
been everywhere spoken against among protest
ants, is an instinct of patriotism, of flial love,
of pety and that il is Of the divinest princi-
piles iIr our human nature. We instinctively
love and venerate whatsoever things are pure
and holy. Our feelings of patriotism and love
of country 60 out in deep, fervent, aud exalted
gratitude to them who have been the defenders
of their country's honor. Our admiration Is
paid to those who elevate its character by their
virtues and adorn it by their genius. Statues
are erected to the great and good men who have
been public beneiactors, and our youth are
taught &c reverence their characters and emulate
their examples. The battle-stained flags of the
regiments which have fought during a long and
bloody war, are sacredly preserved in the CAPT
tolls OF every state, and are regarded among
the choicest and deare't possessions of the COM
mon wealth.
A few weeks ago the wreck of vessel which
in the early days of the Plymouth colony, bore a
company of the pilgrim fathers to these then
barbarous and hostile shores, rescued from
the place where it was sunk nearly two hundred
and fifty years ago, and brought to this city,
where il has been visited by thousands includ-
ing our most prominent citizens, who have not
hesitated to express the deep aud profound in
terest they felt in viewing it. And why? Be
cause IL reminded them OF the trials and priva-
tons of their ancestors who endured so much in
planting the pleasant homes which are now the
abodes of plenty and luxury. 1t is an amiabIe
and honorable feeling that thus, as we gaze upon
memorials like these, the mind fills with pictures
Of the times, the virtues and the heroic suffering
of the founders of the commonwealth.

ever worships images of relics of any kind. In
all his experience in Europe and America, he
had never found a catholic who was open to the

lures or mementoes of the illustrious dead, and
for departed friends, was also a natural instinct.

any one. Among his acquaintance WAS a Young
lady and young man, both OF whom stammered
very badly. They were not acquainted with
each other.
Bob -, the young man alluded TO. was
quite sensitive and TO think that any one was
making fun Of his defect made him frequently
ny INTO n passion. 1t was Stephens fortune to
meet both of them at party, and he soon deter
mined on joke.
"Miss Sue" said he, approaching his lady

you to one of my acquaintances, worthy young

Immediately drew to one side that he might see
how they would manage each other, when his
ears were greeted with the following converse
ton.
How are you enjoyjoyjOying yourself th-th-

"Ye-ye-ye-y-e-s, sir; with all, / be be-be-be-

But that smile ruined her forever in Bob's es-

OVER THE WAY.

Gone in her ehildhks purity
Out from the golden day;
Fading away IN the light so sweet
Where the silver stars and the sunbeans meet,
Over the silent way.
Over the bosom tenderly
The pearl white hands are PressedS
The lashes lie on her check so thin
Where the softest blush ofthe rose hath been
Shutting the blue OF her eyes within
The pure lids closed TO rest
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twineth her sunny hair;
She was SO fragile that love sent down,
From his he avenly gene, that soft bright crown,
To shade her brow with its waves so brown,
Light as the dimpling air.
Gone to sleep with the tender smile
Froze on her silent lips
BY the farewell kiss of her Gewy breath,
Cold in the clasp of the angel Death,
Like the last iair bud OF a faded wreath,
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Robin-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging Dough
Do you miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart of the rose Is set,
Till its velvet lips with the essence wet,
In orient crimson glow
Rosebud-under your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance OF the eye so bright,
1t is beamlng now IN a world OF light,
Over the starry way.
Hear,s-where the darling head hath lain,
Held by loves shining ray
Do you know that the touch OF her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp IN the unknown land .
Oh abe waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.

FALSEHOODS.

The organ of the negro suffrage ticket re-
peats the outrageous falsehoOd that Bailey
Davenport owes the county for unpaid taxes
There is not one word of truth in the story.
He does not owe the county one dollar OF
back taxes, and we offered, sometime since,
hundred dollars to any man who would prove
that he did. No one attempted the task.
We repeat: Mr.. Davenport does not owe
the county one dollar of back taxes, and any
man who says he does, states falsehood
If any of his lands have been sold for taxes
by the county. he will lose the lands unless
he rsdeems them,-and if he does redeem
them, whoever bid them off gets double pay.

CLIQUE spectators know that the personal
warfare they have waged upon Mr.. Daven-
port is a shameful one, and that 1t will ulti-
mately react upon themselves.
The organ of the negro suffrage ticket also
tries TO brighten and deceive people, in regard
to the amount paid the judge of probate, by
sdding the amount paid the county clerk TO
that paid the probate judge-thus malicious
ly stating. for political effect, what is wholly
void of truth The truth is, that the probate
Judge has cost the people of this county only

of this description is made by every person who
is over eager and impatient in pursuit of pleas

thing, and the future is nothing. He borrows,
therefore, from the future, at Il most usurious
and ruinous interest; and the consequence is that
