Thoughts on Finding n Lady's Night
Cap.
BY JACK o'LASTERN
Pretty little night-cap,
Where's the little head
That used to be within your folds,
So snugly tucked in bed?
Where's the glowing checks that hid,
And where's the pretty face,
That used to smile in dreams of love
Within this franc of lace?
And where's the nimble fingers, pray,
OF the cunning little witch
That worked this crown in neat crotchct.
And never dropped Il stitch?
See where some cruel monster tore,
And at laces made dash,
And here some wagon wheel went DER,
And crushed it all to smash
But never mind this sad mishap
Though ruthless fingers tore it,
I'll keep this pretty little cap
Till [ find the head that wore it,
And then. should this fair one be
The style that prefer,
AS she has set her cap at me,
III set my cap at her.

"That it depends upon the circum-

remembering with great perplexity
Beaty's reference to death chambers

ry; by this time I began to expert
ence feeling Of injury, and, with
perhaps unwise kindness, avowed the
same.
Jack withdrew his pipe from his
mouth, shook out the ashes in trou-
bled silence, put the pipe slowly into
its case, and the case into his pocket,
before he spoke.
81 hate mysteries and secrets; they
are not at all in my way, as you know,
old friend 1 never expected the
thing to befall me that 1 could not
talk over with you; but, Frank, there
comes something into most mems
lives, sooner or later, that they do
not care to speak of, that no good
could come of speaking of; and be-
sides" He paused, aud then
added: 'sThis is not my own affair,
either, entirely-another is concerned
as we'll as /"
"Why, those were Beaty's very
words and reasons for DENYING me
any explanations" L calculated, in
intense astonishment.
''Eave you spoken to Miss Francis
to your cousin-on the subject?''
asked Jack, flushing.
Certainly, and got the same
amount of satisfaction as from your
SELF
"Thanl Heaven, then, that I never
breathed word Of it to living crea-
ture," said Jack. ''I might have
done it one day to you, Frank,
though I never regarded myself as
having any right to talk Of it. But
tell Miss Francis-assure her from
me, that [ never have, never will now
she need never fear any allusion,
not the slightest, to what is gone,
from me. Tell her this, please,
Frank, said Jack, earnestly.
'Ill tell her nothing of the kind.

quietly.
''Grant me patience, I cried out;
''she said that, too!'

earnestly
The next minute he turned away

ooh! Amy, Amyr'
In few minutes more, Jack and I

A doubt has been developed within day

without provoking serious opposition. 1t
Is now stated that the prospects of its pas

wish; that many Republicans express ade-
termination to oppose it--some on the
ground that the Constitution of Colorado
does not confer suffrage upon the Negroes;
others on the ground that the population Is
Inadequate; and others, and probably the
larger number, on the ground that 1t will
provoke another Presidential vetOs and thus
widen and deepen the alienation between
the President and Congress. Before the
President put the official guillOtlne in
operation, these Republican members did
not concern themselves about an alienation
between the President and Congress. so
long as they thought they could follow the
leadership of STEVENS and vote for bills so
palpably unconstitutional and pernicious
that the President was constrained to veto
them, and then vote to override his veto,
and yet be allowed to have potential

course they would recklessly pursue their

that they see the President is determined
that the revilers of himself, and the depre-

CoIumbu, MonIbIv STOCK Sale

The monthly stock sale for this city and
county will take place on Thursday next,
May 8, on the grounds at the northern ter
minus of the Street Railroad. The pros
pect is that the sale next week will be
largely attended, and that great variety
of the best stock the county affords will be
brought into market, and thus benefit both
sellers and buyers.
Stock raisers and dealers, as well as the
community generally, find it to their in
terest to encourage these monthly sales, and
should use their influence and eXertions to
make them success.
Among other proposed offerings, we see
that Mr.. Kerner, of Hartford, Licking
county, will offer for sale lot of Short
Horn cattle, including his celebrated bull
Knickerbocker and bull calf, together with
number of good cows and heifers. Messrs.
Ryan & Wilson have received and will of
fer for sale lot of fat and grazing steers,
some forty or fifty in number, and will also
have for sale lot of fine Mich Cows. We
have heard of others who will offer stock
for sale; but have no definite information
further than to feel authorized to say that
a great variety in the several departments
or kinds OF stock will be on the grounds
on Thursday next.

The Exonr.Ion 10 NprInRriold.

In our necessarily brief report of the
Odd Fellows Anniversary at Springfield
we omitted to mention some features in
the proceedings and other matters con-
nected with it, which deserve a passing
notice.
The delegation from Columbus belonging
to the Order, numbered over one hundred
and being dressed in full regalia made an
imposing appearance. The members of the
different lodges in this city fraternized
and their behavior to each other showed
most conclusively that they were bound
together by no common ties OF brotherhood
Long may they live to scatter abroad the
benevolence and good feeling which char
acterizes the symbolical three pillars ol
"Friendship, Love and Truth"
A very large number of ladies were In
attendance at the Fair Grounds in Spring
field, and we are sorry to record the fact
that the arrangement for seating the au-
dience was very defcent-many ladies be-
H ing obliged to stand during the whole time
Springfield is the most beautiful little
city lin our opinion) within the limits OF the
State Of Ohio, and from appearances, con-
tains more wealth than any other place OF
its size; but it is deficient in its accOmmo-
dation for rush of strangers, as was the
case on last Thursday. Wewere sorry that
our limited sojourn prevented us from Wis
iting It's various and extensive manufacJo-
ries. By the way, our townsman, DR..
Riley, is the owner of about twenty acres
within its corporate limits, which has been
laid out in lots and is now offered for sale.
They are admirably situated, and, if prop
erly improved, will make beautiful resi-
dences.
We are under many obligations to George
Spence, Esq, for the very kind treatment
we received from him during our brief
stay. He is genial good fellow, and re-
sides in one of the most beautiful and pic
turesque portions of the city, surrounded
with all the comforts and conveniences of
life.
We are also under obligations to Mr..
Jerry Goodwin, who has recently opened
the "Western House." on Main street, and
recommend our friends visiting the place
to give him a call, assuring them that they
will be treated kindly, and at his table re-
ceive the best the country affords.

- Statesman Manted..

BY looking through what Is known in the
newspapers as the "want column" wherein
almost every imaginable want is advertised,
the Pittsburgh Commercial, journal of un-
blemished Republican morals, is reminded,
that the great ''want" of this day and gen.
Grafton is a statesman" Because of this
want, everything is going somewhat at lose
ends. This is confession most humiliating
to the Republican party. Having major
ity of thirds in each House Of Congress,
there is not to be found in this overwhelm-
ing majority recognized leader worthy
the designation of Statesman" There are
in Congress statesmen and there is in the
Presidential chair man who is sufficiently
statesman to deal with the affairs apper-
tanning to to-day; but unfortunately, they
are overslaughed by majority of Revolu-
tionists, Malignants and Fanatics. Had
the man elected to the Presidency in 1860
been as much of statesman as is the man
who is now in the Presidential chair, there
would have been no war-there would be
no crushing public debt; the country would
not be full of MANNED soldiers; aud there
would not have been any disruption of the
Union, either. What is particularly want
ed at this iuncture, is the displacement of
the Revolutionary, Malignant and Fanatical
members in Congress with men of good
common sense who will help the President
to illustrate his craftsmanship. That's
what's wanted, and the Democrats will en-
deavor to supply that want.

Taxing the Shares Of National
Banks-An Illinois Decision.

A special dispatch from Springfield, ILL.,,
to the Chicd0O Times, dated April 24th, says:
"The Supreme Court Of this State, at the
last January term, held in this city, had
before it case involving the right OF
taxation Of the shares of National Banks.
The case was known by the title OF the
People VS.. Bradley ct al, and originated in
Peoria county. The court has to-day filed
a decision in the said case, Chief Justice
Walker delivering the opinion OF the bench,
sustaining the action Of the State Auditor
in ordering such shares to be assessed and
taxed. This agrees with the recent opinion
delivered by Justice Nelson, of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. 1t is
estimated that the revenue to be derived
! from the taxation of shares under this de-
cision, for State, county, township and city
purposes, viii exceed half million of dol
lars, ofwhich nearly $150,000 will go into
the State Treasury"

CnnnI Boat on the Dam

A canal boat loaded with Hooking coal
for Peter Hayden, Esq, of this city, arrived
on Thursday evening, and after entering
the river, the hands on board undertook tc
navigate it up to its destined wharf with
poles in the usual way. But the river hav-
ing had something of a rise since the late
rain, the stream proved more than match
for the men, and in spite of their efforts,
turned the boat in the contrary direction,
soon forcing it into deep water, where the
poles became useless, as they could not
touch bottom. On, OIL, the boat went, whlrl-
ing round and round, till it came to the dam,
upon which it lodged, and still remains, ly-
ing lengthwise across the stream. Had the
river been little higher, the boat, instead
of lodging on the dam, would have been
carried over it.

riotism of President JOHNSON was kicked
ont of the State Convention of Pennsyl-

who were parties to this indignity are now

1rhe Ca,l.o 81 rhe atatesman's De-

~ blRmt.
It seems to occur to the Cincinnati Com
nscrcial as strange that THE ONO STATES
MAN should feel delighted over "the removal
Of r. M. W.TAYLoR from the Collectorship
Of the Second District and the appointment
OF General S. f. CARY" And in this con-
nection it avails itselfof the opportunity to
say:
"Now, If General Cary has had any spe-
cial distinction as politician, it has been
that of Radical. His speeches have gen.
orally been applauded, because they were
more violent in language and vehement IN
manner than those of any other political
orator. His rhetoric has been adorned with
the gallows, and punctuated with bayonets.
The fury with which he has declared such
men as the editor of The STATESMAN trail
tors, has exceeded all competition. The
blasting vengeance which he has poured
upon rebels has been something awful; yea,
the breath of his nostrils was terrible; and
his neck and hair have been clothed Ia
thunder and lightning. The stamp OF his
foot upon the stumps of the West, in the
ecstasy of climax of denunciation OF trai-
tors at home, has been like the shock OF the
red hoof of battle"
Granted. WeWere not Rlau because Oen-
eral CARY was appointed to succeed Mr..
TAYLOR. We were delighted that Presi-
dent Johnson had commenced the work OF
sending those oflice-holders adritt who do
not support him. 1t is not our understand
ing that Gen. CARY was appointed "because
he is a Conservative" Our understanding
is, that he was appointed at the instance OF
a brother-in-law of his in Congress who
does give the President support that
counts. Had Mr.. TAYLOR induced the
member from his district to do likewise, he
would not have been removed. A question:
Has General CARY INDUCED in "rhetoric
adorned with the gallows and punctuated
with bayonets," and with matchless fury
''declared such men as the editor of The
STATESMAN traitors" since his appointment?
We think not, or can not the General
turn as short corner as the Commercial
turned in the spring of 1861, when from a
vehement advocate of the recognition OF
the Southern Confederacy it became the
fieriest of War zealots? General CARY has
been quieted, and in like manner the same
sort of politicians-the great disturbers of
the public peace-can be quieted. Better
make this disposition of them than to allow
them to run at large.

Some years since, when Phrenology was
the "rage," the following correspondence
took place between a gentleman named Mac
Donald and Scotch chronological So
ciety:
Gentlemen of the - chronological Society:
Taking a great interest in the new science
which you are engaged in making clear to
the world, and having perused your able
discussions of this great theme, take the
liberty OF sending you plaster cast, which
. have received from friend at Stockholm.
1t is taken from the head of a celebrated
Swede, named Thornlpsson; and should
esteem it favor if you would furnish me
with chart of the character of the differ
ent 'organs" or characteristics developed
upon it.
Awaiting an early reply, am, gentle
men, your obedient servant,
JAMES MACDONALD.
LocHIEL, April 2, IS.
The Society were in ecstacies when the
cast had been taken from the bag. The
specimen" was indeed a splendid one; /;
such development of the ''intellectual"
organs was not to be found in any one of
the numerous casts in the possession of the
Society; and as it passed from one member
examined by each, the admiration was un-
bounded and, what was more, some of the
more eminent of the members were enabled
to find, very largely displayed, those pro-
tuberances which distinguished their own
heads (the organ OF credulity, If there e-be
such, might have been one, perhaps), at
which they felicitated themselyee not a
little.
A vote of thanks was passed to the donor;
a chart of the head was dispatched for his
inspection; and he was desired to forward
it to his correspondent, to ascertain how
far the Society had been correct In their
reading of. the character of the ''illustrious
deceased"
The return mail brought the following
letter from Mr.. Macdonald: y
Gentlemen Of the - chronological Society:
/ have received your chart of the cast
which had the honor, on the I'd instant
to forward to your learned Society. /
regret to say, that we have all been mised
in the matter. dispatched you the cast in
some haste after its receipt, in order that it
might be early before you. On re-examn-
ing the letter of my correspondent, find
the following postscript on the top of the
last page, after the signature on the preced-
ing page. 1t now appears that had an
ticipated the writer in forwarding the cast
to your learned body:
FPS. Please forward this to the most
eminent of your chronological Societies In
Edinburgh, where / understand the new
science is making great -headway. 1t is a
cast of Swedish Turnip,' which grew in
a garden in Stockholm, In such marvellous
resemblance to human head, that it has
attracted the attention of thousands. The
original is preserved in the collection of
Natural Curiosities; and should you ever
visit Stockholm, shall be proud and happy
to show it to you."
Excuse, gentlemen, the precipitancy with
which hastened to add this cast to your
chronological archives, and believe me,
your abedient servant,
JAMES MACDONALD.
Perhaps 1t, is not necessary to add, that
this letter was not "entered upon the min
utes" of the Society!

indianapolis Correspondence New Albany Ledger.
The reports generally from the northern
portion of the State in regard to the wheat
crop are very unfavorable. In the more
northern counties the crop will be almost
a failure. We regret to say that the ac-
counts from the middle section OF the State
are also discouraging, and in fact we may
say this intelligence comes from all sections
of the State. The wheat harvest last year
was very light, and we fear, from present

may turn out to be the fears OF croak-
ers, but now there appears to be too much
reality in them. 3D..
