Alive and kicking.

From the World.
The Boston Journal, q radical paper of the
most pronounced type, has the candor to say
in a recent issue:-
sit will not escape the general attention, now
that the smoke of the recent election battles is
over, that there has been no great change in
the strength of parties in the North for the last
six or seven years. There is the Republican
party on one side, and there is the Democratic
party ON the other-neither having died out,
according to frequent predictions, nor set aside
by any Overwhelming popular uprising. Ihis
view of the matter may not be very eXhiaratlng
10 Republicans OF ardent temperament"
It would have been more candid still for the
Journal TO have acknowledged that whatever
change in public sentiment had occurred was
in iavoroft the Democratic party. We have gained
IN Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa, while
the radicals have lost-the vote being greater
in each State than in 1864. But the journal Is
| correct In saying that neither party gives any
| signs as yet of being moribund.
| The foolish Herald and Times OF this city
| really expected that the great historic party OF
| the country would be swamped and compelled
J 10 go under in the recent elections. Finding

NUMBER "a.
Afraid of the Itch.

Pete MILESTONE of Arkansas, was once
travelling on horseback through the interior
of the State, and called one evening to stay
all night at log house near the road, where
entertainment and post Office were kept.
Two other strangers were there, and the mail
carrier rode up about dark. Supper being
over the mail carrier and three gentlemen
were invited into a small room, furnished
with good fire and two beds, which were to
accommodate the four persons for the night,
The mail carrier was little, shabby, dirty
looking wretch, with whom none of the gen.
tlemeh liked the idea of sleeping. Pete
MILESTONE eyed him closely, as he asked =
"Where DO you sleep tonight, my son 2"-
"Tll thleep with you, reckon" lisped the
youth, I" or one of them other fellows,
don't care which," The other two gentle
men took the hint and occupied one of the
beds together Immediately. leaving the other
bed and confab to be enjoyed by Pete and
the mail bow together as best they could
Pete and the boy commenced hauling of
their duds, and Pete getting in bed first, and
wishing to get rid of sleeping with the boy,
remarked very earnestly:
"My friend, I'll tell you beforehand, I've
got the itch, and you had better not get in
here with me, for the decease is catching"

drawled out very coolly:
"Woll, reckon that don't make bit o.
diference-I've had it now nearly the.theven
years." and into bed he pitched along with
Pete, who pitched out in as great hurry
as if he had walked upa hornets nest in
bed.
The other gentlemen roared, and the mail
boy, who had got peaceable possession of the
bed. drawled out. "Why, you muth be
thet O. darned fules mann and dads got the
catch heap wuth than is, and they theep
in that bed lath night when they wath here
at quiltin'."
The other two strangers were now in q
worse predicament than Pete had been, and
bounced from their nest as though the house
was on fire, stripped, shook their clothes,
put them on again, ordered their horses, and,
though it was nearly ten O'Clock, they all
three left, and rode to the next town before
carrier to the bliss of scratching and sleeping
alone.

A YoUTH Who NEVER SAW A WOMAN
Meadows History of the Chinese, lately pub
lished in London, in chapter on love, has
the following story:
A Chinese, who had been disappointed in
marriage, and had grievously suffered thro
many other ways, retired with his infant son
to the peaks of a mountain range in Kwei.

footed Chinese women. He trained the boy
to worship the gods and stand in awe and
adherence of the devils; but he never men.
toned woman to him, always descending the
mountain alone to buy food. At length,
however, the infrmities of age compelled him
to take the young man with him to carry
the heavy bag of rice. As they were leaving
the market town together, the son suddenly
stopped short, and, pointing to three ap-
preaching objects, cried /" Father, what are
these things? Look look what are they2'
The father instantly answered with the per-
emptory order: "Turn away your head !;
they are devilsw The son, in some alarm,
turned away, noticing that the evil things
were gazing at him with surprise from be.
hind their fans. He walked to the noun
tain in silence, ate no supper, and from that
day lost his appetite and was afflicted with
melancholy. For some time his puzzled and
anxious parent could get no satisfactory an.

young man burst out, crying with inexpli-
cable pain: 60 father, that tallest devil =

WHAT DID MARY SAY?-During the trial
of one Cogzell, for kidnapping, which took
place lately in lIillsborough, N. c., an incl
dent occurred which created considerable fun
at the expense of wigs and counsel. A Miss
Sloan was testifying, and was requested to
state all she knew about a certain transac~
ton. Witness, 81 was in sitting room,
when Mary came from the kitchen hurried
ly, and Cogzell after her. He caught hold
of her at the setting room door, and said ::
Mary, you have been here long enough !;
come and go home now" "What did Mary
SAY ?' Attorney for State, I" Stop there I
object to the question:" Here discussion
took place, in which four lawyers participat-
e0 i; after which the Judges held long,
serious and excited discussion on the subject,
and finally, in very formal and pompous
manner, stated that it was the opinion of the
Court that the question should be answered.
The Court room was crowded almost to suf-
location, and the most intense interest was
manifested at this stage of the proceedings
The question was repeeted: What did
Mary say?' and the witness answered
"She did't say a word !"

ABOUT THE FENIANs.-When General
Mead went to Buffalo to suppress the Fenians
in obedience to orders from President John.
son, he had spirited interview with Gems.
Murphy and Heferman of the Fenians, in
which Murphy told him some plain truths as
follows:
Gen. Murphy said they ;'were Irishmen,
and like the Jews, had not a foot Of ground
on which they can stand and call their own.
Now, when we have a military organization
and fair hope of success, the United States
interferes and crushes. We have been lured
on by the cabinet, and used for the purposes
of Mr.. Seward. They encouraged us to this
thing. We bought our rifles from your ar
senals, and we were given to understand, un-
til now, that we would not be put down by
the military power of the country"
Notwithstanding all this, johnson hopes
to catch the entire Fenian vote of the coun.
try in the campaign of '6S. Will he do itf

" The NOBLE INDIAN" AS He Is.-A cor
respondent, who has been to the Far
West" has seen the noble Indian, and been
hunted by him, writes "Much has been
said by poets and romantic young ladies,
about the picturesque aspect and the noble
form of an untamed, untamable warrior of
the prairie, and far be it from me to gainsay
them. An Indian is a noble spectacle-in a
picture or at a safe distance-but when this
noble spectacle in common with dozen
other noble spectacles,' is moving his moe
casins in your direction. aud you have to do
some tall walking in order to keep the cap
ilary substance on the summit of your era
mum, all his nobility vanishes, and you
see in him only a painted, greasy miscreant,
who will, if you give hin, chance, lift your
hair with the same Christian spirit, compos.
ed and serene, with which he would ask
another spectacle" for a little more of that
baked dog. / used to think like the poets !;
now the sight of an Indian gives me cramp
in the stomach"

A WHOLE FAMILY DRINK Poison AND
DIE TO ESCAPE DIsGRAcE.-A letter from
Vienna contains the following intelligence
concerning deed of almost unparalleled hor-
ror, lately committed in the Austrian capi-
tai:
Francis Tuvora, we'll known here as the
originator of pleasure excursions to various
cities, lately organized party to Jerusalem.
A fixed sum was paid Tuvora by each trav.
eler, which was to cover all expenses there
and back. Having got the party to Je.
rusalem, Tuvora found himself in conse.
quence of the unfortunate result of some spec.
ulations on Change, unable to pay their ex-
penses back here, and to meet other obliga-
tions:: Not appearing as usual in the morn.
ing, his residence, after some delay, was
broken open and ghastly sight presented
itself. Tuvora, his wife, his daughter aged
Is, and two younger sons were found living
and sitting at and about the table, where
they had taken supper the previous evening,
all stone dead. He had administered them
poison in the beer. A note was found sign.
ed by one of the boys, but the body of it was
in Tuvora's hand writing, stating that, un.
able to endure their fathers disgrace, they
had voluntarily put an end to their lives
Tuvora also attempted to poison his two
youngest children, aged respectively seven
and eight, but they refused to drink the beer
and were saved. The general impression is,
that the family have been foully murdered,
and did not voluntarily consent to die with
him. Thousands of persons followed the
the family to their grave. A further deplor-
able effect of this tragedy occurred yesterday
in the suicide, by shooting. of young Cadet
of the infantry regiment, Baron Rosbach.-
He was engaged to Tuvora's daughter, and
since her death has been suffering under
great depression of spirits. In farewell
letter to his comrades he states that he can
not live without his Louisa, to whom he has
pledged his faith, and goes to join his spirit
with hers.
