Is THE MAN CRAzY-oR "A Fool ?-The
Union, of last evening, perpetrated the most
miserable piece of stupidity we have seen for
long time. There arc plenty of stupid
things in that paper, but this beats them all.
The editor says:
"The ice along the shore of the river OH this
side has given way and foated off, and the eros
sing near the ferry landing is used up. The ice Is
fast becoming rotten IN the river and it will only
require a few days more like the past week to en-
tirely clear the river of ice at this point.''
The ice is not becoming rotten, but is be-
coming stronger and thicker every day. The
ice at the skating park of Christian & Beebe
is now about Is inches thick, and will sus-
tain more men than can stand on it, The
road across the river is as good aud strong as
ever, though the crossing is little lower
down, on account of water flowing on the ice
from the place where Mr.. Lambert is cutting
ice for packing.

ABOUT HUSBANDS.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

IA man is, in general, better pleased when he
has good dinner upon his table, than when his
wife speaks Greek. Sam. Johnson.
Johnson right. don't agree to all
The solemn dogma OF the rough old stager;
But very much approved what one NAV call
The minor morals of the ''Ursa Major
Johnson was right. Although some men adore
Wisdom in woman, and with learning cram
her,
There isn't one in ten but thinks far more
OF his own grub than of his spouse's gram
know it is the creates shame in ife
But who among them (save, perhaps, myself
Returning hungry home, but asks his wife
What beef-nOt books-she has upon the
shelf
Though Greek and Latin be the lady's beast,
They're little valued by her loving mate;
The kind of tongues that husbands relish m osi
Is modern, boiled, and served upon a plate.
Or, if, as fond ambition may command,
Some homemade verse the happy matron
show him,
What mort ii spouse but from her dainty hand
Would sooner see pudding than poem
Young lady-deep in love with Tom or Harry
IT'S sad to tell you such tale this;
But here's the moral of it: Don't ye marry;
Or, marrying, take your lover as he is
very man-w1th something of the brute.
(Unless he prove a sentimental noddy)
With passions strong, and appetite to boot
thirsty soul within hungry body
very man-not one of naturo's clouds
With human failings, whether saint or sinner;
Endowed, perhaps, with genius from the gods,
But apt to take his temper from his dinner.

SPITE.-As soon as it was known thsk Pres-
dent johnson had vetoed the Freedmen's Bureau
Bill, Mr. Stevens. the Chairman of the Recon
struction Committee in the House of Represen-
tatives, introduced resolution declaring that no
Senator or Representative shall be admitted into
either branch of Congress stom any Southern
State, until Congress shall have declared such
State entitled to such representation. Stevens
demanded the previous question on this resolu-
tion for the purpose Of preventing debate. 4
scene of wild disorder then prevailed for some
hours, the conservatives protesting against the
gag rule" and contending that such an impor-
tant resolution should not be passed without de-
bate. But the disunionists, under the lead of
Stevens, carried the day, and the resolution was
adopted by vote of 100 to 40.
Of course this resolution was passed for the
purpose Of showing a spiteful feeling for Presi-
dent johnson because he vetoed the Freedmen's
Bureau bill.
