altogether DO not think that your vote Is OF
no consequence. Every vote counts, and we
want majority for the Union ticket that
shall tell in the country. Again, we say
vote at once.
VALLANDIGHAM-Mr Vallandigham has
just made a speech, in which he iustl6es bis
course during the war, assails the memory of
Abraham Lincoln, and approves the present
policy of President johnson. Vallandigham
has, at least, the merit of consistency. But
what shall we say OF any Union man who
now goes over to Vallandigham2
GRANT RETERATEs.-The Tribune Of
to-day contains special despatch from Wash
ington last night, announcing that General
Grant reiterates his often expressed opposition
to Hester Clymer, and the entire class of
peace Democrats of whom he is a representa-
tive. We never had the least doubt that
such were General Grants true sentiments.
A Bat on the Stage.-The other evening, at the
opera in Paris, the performance of LAfricains
was enlivened by the Incursion of a bat. On
the rising OF the curtain on the fourth act the
animal made his appearance, dlverting himself
alternately by worrying the stalls, dashing him
self against the large lustre, and swooQing do yn
on the chorus, to the mingled amusement and
alarm of artists and audience Nor did the bat
show the SLIGHTEST respect for "Vasco' and
"Selka" during their duo Of the act; but Aut-
tered persisently in their faces till Mime Sasse
could not get out a note for annoyance. At last
M. Georges Hainl flung bis bow at the creature
with such precision as to knock it into the
wings. Twenty francs to him that catches tho
batw he cried, and forth sailed supers carpen-
tiers, and chorus on the chase, while the tenor
and soprano finished the duo. But at the com
mencement of act fifth the creature reappeared
till at last sagacious property man having got
is ishing-rod from the theatrical repository,
baitcd it with an insect, and fJhed from the
flies until the animal yielded to temptation and
was caught.
Easy Treatment.-A writer in the London Fed
says that successful dog doctor in his neIgh.
bOrhood, who bad an extensive custom amongst
ladies of ashton, on retiring from practice made
the following confession -"When very fat and
apoplecuc is were condded TO my care, l
always tieo 'em," sad be, 'to crabtree at the
end OF my garden, and gave 'em nothing but
water FOR week. When l fetched 'em from
home they used to refuse to eat what should
have been glad to get; and when l took 'em
back they was glad to get what would not
have touched. I've had some dogs tWice and
even three times year, but always cured 'em
at last. One OF 'em was az good as three POUND
a year to me. was terrible fond OF MIN, but
he couldn't abide me; and when he saw me a
coming to fetch down his fat, he used TO waddle
away and howl fit to raise the dead"
Hom6urg Gamblers.-Much anxiety has
been felt by the Inhabitants of Homburg as to
what their fate will be, now that that little
State is absorbed by Prussia. Pablo play has
been forbidden in Prussia, and the play tables
at AiX-la-Chapelle have been closed for some
years. The Homburg burgomaster has, how
ever, announced that he has received no in
structions from the Prussian Government on
the subject of play, and that for all he knows
to the contrary ''rouge ct loir" and ''rouletten
will continue as heretofore at the Homburg
Gasinn tWplVa hOurs q naV daV in the
year, on the same conditions and for the same
stakes as usual.
Deci pitation by Steam-Among the sensa-
tional paragraphs about the Paris Exhibition is
one concerning new model guillotne invented
by compatriot fCount Bismark. The guillo-
tine is capable of cutting off six heads per
minute, and eight If properly handled The
! machine is worked by steam, and the knife in
stead OF falling straight, cuts with a rotary
movement. The guillot,ne can be taken to
pieces and put together again in ten minutes;
| the engine works the wheels, and the machine
| can steam to the place of execution, and take
the body up to the cemetery afterwards!
The French Trade in Roses.-The trade in roses
| is OF importance in France. Rose trees are cul-
tivated in different parts of the country in open
100000 rose trees near Orleans; 200, 900 near
Metz; 100000 near Angers; 1,5OO,OOO near
Lyons; 2OOOO 600 near Paris; and 1000, 900 in the
thirteen communes OF Brie-Comte- Robert. The
varieties called Rose-The, the Bourbon, and
Nonsense flourish particularly in the environs
OF Paris and Orleans.
Dignifed MISUNDERSTANDING to the GiOr-
male dl Ndpol, a brigand chief named Pace
has exclusive ideas about the profession he car
ries on. He brooks no rivals, and not only de-
nounces any other "gent emen of the highway
who may practise in his district as ''impostorSr
| but actually arrests and gives them up to the
police He lately sent four of these competitors to
| the nearest pos of gendarmes, requesting them
| TO be severely punished
Dispossession.-An association has been started
| in London to aid poor persons about to be
| elected from their homes to make way for rail
| ways for metropolitan improvements. 1t is
| stated that the various schemes now ON foot
| would dispossess no less than one hundred
| thousand people, in addition to twenty thousand
| who have already been evicted.
Killing Fish.-The tanneIs of Bewdley. Eng
| land have been brought before the magistrates
ward in the Severn. In few minutes the rive
| was full of dead fish, and it was estima ed thai
| no less than one hundred thousand had thus

promised not to offend again.
Hudson's Bay-The London Daily Ne1oS say
the Hudsons Bay Company are understood tt
| ask two million pounds tor the sovereignty ant
the bulk OF their freehold, while the lmperla
| Government have long undertaken to guarantee
one million pounds. The shareholders ma.
therefore look to q bargain being struck at som
intervening time.
