Amir.

"Then you entered your neighbor's

NO. was the reply, Il only put my

Whcreupon the Amir ordered the ex-
ecutioLer to snip off the complainant's
nose, so as to save it from the tempta-
tion of shifting in another mans harem
in future.
That was not so bad, and some peo.

SPEAKING AT THE MARKET HOUSE.
Mr.. Brien, the Radical candidate, adj
dressed a mixed audience Of some $50 per-
sons last evening. His speech was made up
Of attacks on Major Lewis and the editors Of
the UNION AND AMERICAN. He assumed no
particular position, and did not even an
nounce what course should character
iEe his legislation if elected He init
mated that he felt "A disposition toward
protecting the young men of the country
who had been induced to join the rebel
army, from any further prosecution by the
State, or by the General Government
But this position YVES cancelled in the
conclusion of his address in the remark that
he was for furnishing treason and the confs-
cation of all rebel property to pay the war
debt. This announcementwas not met with
any demonstrations of satisfaction. Several
persons left 30 soon as the declaration was
made If Major Lewis has nothing more to
meet than the spirit af such gaseous exclam-
atoms, his election is fact, beyond question.
The speech was a complete failure and
Judging from the enthusiasm manifested his
friends were disappointed. He said nothing
as 10 the franchise law or negro suffrage.
