The Wheeling public are sufficiently
familiar with the appearance and char
aeteristics Of, the immortal t.J. NJ" who
''naartyredY here some months ago, to
appreciate the following clip from the
local columns of the Cincinnati Com
nerciGL of Saturday last: eH
The immortal, perennial and mex
tingutshable j = NJ, and suite 1.-THE latter
consisting Of one tapestry carpet-saclS
and a large branch of fprodigious
tree, euphemtstically called cane,) ar
rived from Hamilton, in a special train,
last evening. After bath and q yes
per collation., he visited our Office, reit-
Altering his grand and monstrous theory
Of reconstruction, offering to assume
me colossal pressure, and, scorning de-
nance at martyrdom, and all its ento-
mological miseries. AS a measure of
charity, no less than of national impor-
tance, we called in q gentleman whose
left breast glittered with an orb that
never sets, except by request of His
Honor, the Mayor, and conveyed to
him the startling Intelligence that the
.deathless j. N. needed his services. or
rather that the Continent, was poised
and waiting for j. N. to go.to jail, and
SO set the great clock Of the world tick
ing again.
s- With a pallor on his cheek that argu-
ed heroic devotion, not alarm, j. N.
clutched his carpet-saCk, tore open its
ragged jaws, aud with "short, mad
cries" produced pair of handouts
(eighteen carats fine, and presented to
the lofty philosopher at Gettysburg, y
with which he encircled his gnaried
and gigantic wrists. The iewelry snap
ped with clang like the breaking of a
mastodon's rib, and the great martyr
held aloft his shackled limbs, his nos
trils shedding rays of electrical flame,
and his eye glaring with such unearth-
~ brillance that the gas-lights burned
blue, and strong men turned away
blinded and terrified.
AStrong corps of reporters, each pro-
vtded with cwt. of paper, on which to
take few notes, were summoned as
soon as reason resumed its SWAY and.
accompanied by one watchman and a
platoon of Journalists, the quenchless
and herculean philanthropfst, - NJ,
took his way east on Fourth street, his
chains clanking with the music of the
spheres, his carpet sack waggling like
a thing of life, and his cane pointing to
the Orient, like m intiexible and mas
.sive bowsprit. s-fli =.
Arriving at the Hammond Street
Station.house the great and good J, N,
stood erect, and, like Mazeppa, assumed
the God-like attitude of a man, A
hmid and awe-stricken policeman went
through j. Ms clothes, with the an
neXed result:
Postal currency, 81, 90; railroad passes
@, ,956; bath tickets, i; key to handouts,
4; newspaper extracts, 122,459; fluff, Az
ounces; lead pencil stumps, 4 gross;
string, Ito repair suspenders), / yard.
h With a cheek as pale as Siberia in
mid-winter, j. N. asked If this cup
might be passed from him. But no. a
brutal world demanded his martyrlom,
and into his cell he went, the door shut
ting with a volcanic boom, and the
lock grating like the death-rattle of a
grizzly with. a CULVER of poisoned ar
rows in his vitals. Sandwitched be-
tween thief and wife-whipper the
ponderous form of j. N. might be seen
at IL p. NJ, through the chequered
vista. There with a mountain of paper,
and mountain spurs of pencil stamps,
we left him writing can Address; to
the American People,"
