VOLUMES IN ONE PARAGRApu The
following iuimitable hit is as irresistible in
argument as it is in humor We quote
from the Charlottesville Chronicle:

ion as it is to get ont. The South re-
spectiully asks TO move one way or the
other. We are like the fellow who was
forced to 90 to the show, and then not al
lowed to 90 any further than where he had
paid for his ticket. We have been drag
ged into the doorway of the Federal tent,
and are not allowed TO see any of the per-
tormance except to settle with the tax
collectors. We can hear the animals
growing inside, ard hear the crack of the
rlugmaser's whip, but we can't see the
show unless we pay for two and take in a
colOred lady. And the worst Of i is they
keep great eagle perched over the en-
trance, which, if you attempt to 90 back,
swoops down on you and picks hole in
your head. We justly think this is un-
reasonable; they ought either to let us
pass in. or refund our money and tie up
the eagle.
