Saturday was again devoted to the dis
cussion of the Presidents Message in the
lower House Of Congress. To properly
state the question, would be to say that the
day was devoted to eussing the President by
the Radicals. In substantiation Of this,
it is only necessary toquote from the speech
of Mr.. MoUIToN, of ILL.,, who said that, in
his opinion, president JOHNSON would 60
down to posterity not only as the betrayer
OF his party, but as an migrate, infamous,
in all time to come, to all honorable men;''
andthat sthe instincts of ANDREW JOHN
SON were intensely Southern" that ''he
hated Northern men as intensely as did DA-
WIS or BEAURKaARD or LEE.Y
This is now the approved method the
Radicals adopt to cultivate amicable rela-
tlons between them and the President
President JoHNsoN's treason consists in his
taking down and unrolling the Constitu.
tion and.pronouncing his determination Il
make his Administration conform to its re-
quirements. That's all.

tsThe Last DOuar and the Lnst

This was the burden of Mr.. Rittenhouse's
speech when first nominated for Treasurer.
10 get the ''last man." he used extraordi-
nary exertions to get everybody besides
himself to go to war, for which he received
compliments and gold headed canes from
the s'loyal"-and had the war lasted, he
would doubtless been busy in getting others
to go, so long as the money was placed in
his charge to raise the men. Thus has he
carried out the last clause of his platform.
That he also went for ''the last dollar"
in good faith. the recent development of the
state Of our Treasury, under his manage
ment, shows. Had not the Ides of March
come, the first part of the platform would
doubtless have been fulfilled. Where can
a more consistent politician be found P

Poorly IN UNDnEss. AN English pa
per, which rejoices in the name of La
dies O,cn, thus plays tricks with
rhymes and reason: cit is many years
since i fell in love with Jane Jerusha
Skeggs, the handsomest country girl
by far that ever went on legs. BY
meadow, creek, and wood, and dell, so
often did we walk, and the moonlight
smiled on her melting lips, and the
night winds learned our talk Jane
Jerusha was all to me, for my heart
was young and true, and loved with a
doubled and twisted love, and love
that was honest, too. / roamed all
over the neighbors' farms, and / rob-
bed the wildwood bowers, and tore my
trousers, and scratched my hands, in
search of the choicest flowers. In my
joyous love l brought all these to my
now, if / were a boy again. A city
chap then came along, all dressed up
in fine clothes, with a shiny hat and a
shiny vest and a mustache under his
nose. He talked to her of singing
schools (for her father owned farm,
and she left me, the country love, and
took the new chaps arm. And l never
slept, nor could l eat next day, for L
loved that girl with fervent love that
nought could drive away. / strove TO
win her back to me, but it was all in
vain; the city chap, with the hairy lip,
married Jerusha Jane. And my poor
heart was sick and sore until the
thought struck me that just as good
fish still remained as ever was caught
in the sea. So / went to the Metho-
dist church one night, and saw dark
brown curl peeping from under gyp-
sy hat, and L married that very girl.
And many years have passed and gone,
and l think my loss my gain; and l
often bless that hairy chap that stole
Jerusha Jane"

ps5~ People not accustomed to bust
ness operations, or to the handling of
much money, seem to have vast deal
of trouble with little boarded wealth,
when they happen to have it. They
are afraid to put it in State or Nation
al bonds for fear Something will go
wrong;' they dare not deposite it in
bank for fear the bank will break, or
some of the officers rln away with the
funds they dare not leave it at home for
fear some thief will break through and
steal; and they dare not carry it about
with them for fear they will be robbed
and murdered. An hoaest, hard-work-
ing old man II Providence, r.. l., who
had seved up one thousand dollars in
the course of years, and had it all in
greenbacks, not knowing what better
course to take, slowed the money
away in an old stove that had been
unused for years; but cold snap
coming on, while he happened to be
away from home, fire was made in the
stove, and the hard earnings Of years
soon ended in smoke.

RUINED BY THE WAR.-The New
Orleans Crescent tells this story: A
relic Of the past is seen in a man, bear
ing upon his flce and body the i'm
press of many years This man walks
the streets daily, bearing the marks
of misfortune, amid the friends he had
known in better years, but with an ap-
pearance so changed, one can hard
ly recognize in him the Mercutio of
the Crescent city, tho gay, witty and
elegant gentleman, who was at one
time the very leader of fashion,
Seedy habiliments, bent body and
wlinkled face, have nearly obliterated
all in him that was familiar in the
past. Inheriting a great fortune, he
increased it largely by marriage, and
from his profession nj the bar, had an
income of forty or fifty thousand dol
laIs year. and received a single fee
Of sixty thousand dollars upon n claim
on real estate in the lower part of the
city. This wealth he scattered with
princely generosity and royal profu-
sion He was u Lucullus att home
and his hospitalitie, aspired to all the
magnifcence Of the ancient Roman
nobleman In 1897 he gave a single
soiree that cost $4,000, and which
exceeded in splendor anything ever
before known here The very floors
over which the dancers moved were
covered with scenic paintings, the
work Of the most accomplished artist
then in New Orleans; and in the sa-
loon where gamipg-tables were ar
ranged, stood two baskets--one filled
with bank notes and the other with
gold, for the use Of those guests who
were unfortunate with the tickle god
dess. The dispenser of this gorgeous
hospitality is now dependent upon his
relatives. He takes his loss with
Christian resignation, and does not
fly from the world and rail against it,
like Timon of Athens, but moves
through the world with pleasant and
urbane manner, rs if he had still the
princely fortune at command. Sncc,,
cases as this are common since the
war.

TRANSIENT YOUNG MEN. Girls, be-
ware of transient young men; never
suffer the addresses of a stranger; rec
ollect that one steady farmer boy or
mechanic is worth all the floating
trash in the world. The allurements
of dandy Jack with a gold chain
about his neck, walking stick in his
paw, some honest tailor's coat on his
back, and brainless skull, can never
make up the loss of fathers house
and good mothers counsel, and the
society of brothers and sisters their
affections last, while those OF such a
young man are lost in the wane of the
honeymoon. It's true.

AUCTION or LADIES. is well known
that an auction of unmarried ladies
used to take place annually in Baby
lon. "In every district they assembled
on certain day Of every year all the
virgins of marriageablc age" The
most beautiful was first put up, and
the man who bid the largest sum of
money gained possession of her, The
second in personal appearance follow
ed, and the bidders gratifed them
selves with handsome wives according
TO the depth of their purses. But alas !
it seems that there were in Babylon
some ladies for which no money was
likely to be offered; yet these also were
disposed Of, so proyident were the
Babylonians. When all the beautiful
virgins were sold, the crier ordered
the most deformed to stand up, and
after he had openly demanded who
would marry her for small sum, she
was at length adjudged to the man
who would be satisfied with the least /;
and in this manner the money arising
