have selected more prolific theme than the
Nobody family" .-af a
We cannot say what may have been the ex-
perence of others in regard to this large and
meddlesome connection, but al for ourselves,
we can truly say that some one Of them has
dogged US through life, misrepresenting, ira
ducing, and even plundering us in every way

CONGRESS WARNED.-The Constttu'
tional Union, published at Washington, in
its issue of Wednesday contains an article
on Congressional action in the following
words:
"These men had better beware they are
not legal Congress, but an unconditional
body of usurpers. The country feels that
the one great error of the President was in
his ever recognizing them at all. In their
self.imposed rump condition, they had no
claim for recognition as an official body
from an honest man, or any other branch OF
Government. We doubt whether the Su.
preme Court will ever affirm any of their
acts to be valid. This thing of Congress
sional -fanaticism and treason ought to be
done away with. The American Congress
now is the fac simile of that rump Parlia
ment which stunk in the nostrils of all
good men, and which Cromwell kicked out
of doors, and served them just right. A
little Cromwelliau pluck is just the thing
needed now, and there are 100000 Dem
ocrats at the North who would face that

DEFINITION NOT IN WEBsTER.-Buss,
to kiss; again pluribus, to kiss without re-
gard to sex; sillybus, to kiss the hand in.
stead of the lips; blunderbuss, to kiss the
wrong person omnibus to kiss all in tho
room erebuss, to kiss in the dark.
Evidently the country girl who went down
to the city recently had these definitions in
her mind. A young gentleman was to &c.
cort her some distance through the town and
not wishing to walk, he remarked, "Hold on,
Mary, let's take a"buss;" but Mary, blush
ing to the eyebrows, drew back, and with
wounded modesty replied, ooh, George,
not right here in the street"

How TO CARE FOB THE HAIR.-As to
men, we say, when the hair begins to fall
out, the best plan is to have it cut short,
give it a good brushing with a moderately
stiff brush, while the hair is dry, then wash
it we'll with warm soap suds, then rub over
the scalp, about the roots of the hair, a little
bay rum, brandy, or camphor.water. Do
these things twice mouth-the brushing
of the scalp may be pro6tably done twice
week. Damp the hair with water every time
the toilet is made. Nothing ever made is
better for the hair than pure soft water, if
the scalp is kept clean in the way We have
named.
The use of oils, of pomatums, or grease
of any kind, is ruinous to the hair Of man
or woman. We consider it filthy practice,
almost universal thought it be, for it gath
ers dust and dirt, and soils whatever it
touches. Nothing but pure soft water should
ever be allowed on the heads of children.
It is different practice that robs our wo.
men of their most beautiful ornament long
before their prime; the hair of our daugh-
ters should be kept within two inches until
their twelfth year.

Oh give me but one pint of meal,
twill feed my DAZZLING babes day,
And may be then God will see fit,
To take them far from earth away.
For four long days I've begged for work
At almost every door,
was ashamed to ask for bread,
I'd never asked before,
looked so quaint and ghastly pale;
The people seemed 10 feel,
That should get within their homes,
could not help but steal.
got few cow peas one day,
cannot tell YOU how;
My babes and have eaten them,
That's how we're living,-now;
You say should not be ashamed
To ask for what need;
But, Oh, the knife Of naughty scom,
Has caused my heart TO bleed.
Five years ago my babies had
From want solid shield;
But long, long since his bones were bleached
On Shiloh's bloody field.
While he was here we never knew
The name Of want or care;
No beggar ere turned from our door,
Without cheerful share.
But when the patriot bugle rang
The Reveille OF War,
He went to guard Virginia's soil,
Away from home afar.
And when he gave his last embrace
He told US not 10 weep;
That all around our many friends
In comfort would US keep.
went to see one Of those friends,
Twas only yester morn;
begged him for little bread,
And then n little corn.
He said I've none TO give away
And not too much 10 sell;
lrl give you none without the price,
You know this very well.
A wagon stood near by the crib,
sTwas loaded full Of grain
To take down to the whiskey still,
So turned back in shame.
And now ask little meal,
Just but a pint or so;
cannot see my babies die,
Oh God, can't, no, no.

III ne European 4 harvest.

The season is so far advanced that the
probable yield of the new crops can b. ostl-
mated with toerable accuracy. la England
although the weather has been chaagcabe
some progress has been made in gathering
wheat. The Mercantile Gazette OF the l0ih
ult. says:
GAS whole the supply, chiefly from Essex
and Kent, has shown Il deficiency, both IN
strength aud color, compared with the Two
previous years; and we believe that the
growth in the above counties will fail short
of last season, the heaviest wheats yet brought
forward weighing under GOT s to the bu The
accounts iron the Southern aud Western
Counties are more favorable; bur it Is gem
orally understood that, OWING to the small>
ness of the ears, the growth viii not exceed
an ayeripe. In the midland and northern
districts. including Lipcolusl!ire, from which
county some very good white wheats have
been disposed OF in London, the wheat crop
promises to turn out quite equal. to that OF
lS6l. From Ireland aud Scotland. but lew
complaints have reached u4 in reference to
any kiuh OF produce. We presume, there fore
there is nothing to aPprehend on 'he~ecofs
OF deficiency. The quantity OF barley produ-
ced ,hro ughout England is quite equal to the
most favored season. la the south OF France
nearly the whole of the crops have been Sc
cared IN excellent condition. 1t is stated,
however, thai the quantity of wheat produced
exhibits a consi lerabie falling OFF when com
pared with last year; To meet the assumed
deficiency, large orders have been recently
forwarded to the various Black Sea ports for
immediate shipment.

The Southern EIni0nfsip.

I'VE have read with some care the address,
resolutions and speeches of the Southern
Unionists at Philadelphia, and aside from
mere abuse of President Johnson and intern
perate defamation against the body Of the
Southern people. we find bal one point made
IN which, we confess, they strongly appeal to
our sym athy. Their plea is simply this =
That the mass of the southern people having
been III sympathy with the rebellion, have
Lot changed their nature, but still harbor
that sym pathy to the extent t.Iatj though
admitting that the cause is lost, they hate the
Union men among them who contributed to
their defeat. These Union men, therefore,
ask for protection, but demand that it shall
be in this shape.-that all who took part in
the rebellion shall be disfranchsed and de-
elared forever incapable of holding Office and
that the governments of the southern states
shall be placed IN the hands Of the men who
were true to the government during the
rebellion. -
The reasonableness of the demand may be
judged of by considering the simple fact, ad-
mltted on all hands, that, at least from the
second or third year Of the rebellion the
people of the southern states, so far as such
& thing is ordinarily possible, were unani-
nous in sympathy with and support of the
rebellion. In all those states, except Ten
nessee and few inconsiderable districts in
North Carolina, the men who stood tr'ie TO

John A.Lo-an,s Suc9cb.

We shall probably be expected to make
some comments on the speech del vered by
John a. Logan in this city on Tue sday, but
really there is little to be said about it, He
said Traitors must be punished, Ind treason
made odious aud that the dernod rats OF the
north (whom he ctasscaly calleI "hssing
coPperheads') kept up fire in dhe rear on
the Union soldiers as they breaste h the bay
onets of the enemy in front, and that the
traitors in the south and the de mocrats of
the north therefore were one AND the same
party. If John A. Logan, durin his three
hours harrangut, uttere! anoiheH idea that
does not resolve itself into thisI We should
like some one to name it. Ringing the
charges on these two ideas, of co hrse all the
rest was an unbroken food of filthy black>
gulrdism.
What can be said about sucl a speech
':Punish traitors" How Dir. l., kan did not
! say. The whole of Lee and Johnston's
armies, including every traitor in arms, the
day Lee surrendered, were pardoned by Pres
ident Lincoln the day he signed the capitula-
ton between Grant and Lee. Can you pun
| ish .hem? Every other rebel soldier below
the grade OF Colonel, and every civilian with
a few exceptions was subsequently pardoned
by President Johuson's amnesty proclamation
which Lincoln himself had drawn up before
his death. Car you punish them? JEFF.
Davis and a few hundred others excepted
from the amnesty proclamation are all the
rebels left to be punished and Chase refuses
to organize court to try them. g Punish
traitors!" what inenable nonsense! Whom
have you to puuish-and how?
"Copperheads of the North!' Fire in
the rear'' How dare this scoundrel, wiz
spent his time plotting treason in Southern
Illinois, and pcrsuadins has own wife, broth
ers to join the rebels, while the democr.t, d.
L. Sale county were engaged heart and sou
il enlisting themselves and piirsua1ing other:
to enlist in the Union army to crush treason,
come to Ottawa and charge the democracy
with sympathy with traitors The filthy
! biackguArd deserved to be ridden out OF town
on rail.
Dare the decent republicans in Ottav q
openly sanction this sort Of Ai.hy hing and
bIackga.r!ism? Dare they face the democracy
Of this city aoI say. wa Logan said, that
while the Union army was brea.,in- the BAY
onets Of traitors in the south, he democracy
( of Ot,awa-of any precinct, hamlet, or corner
in the north, were "hissing'' in Their rear?

he came as near as possible to squared,
