The ZdneSville Signal gives the following
humorous description of free ride" on
the cars. A GAINESVILLE man, being ''fiat
broke" and wanting to 90 to Columbus,
concluded to "brass it," and accordingly
took car on the Central Ohio railroad.
The Signal thus describes the trip: ''.
The train had nearly reached Claypoors
before the Conductor, whom we shall call
Jones, had reached our dead-head friend
in his round of collecting tickets and fares.
"Your ticket, if you please" said the Com
ductor. "Haven'tany," said the dead-head.
''Where are you gOiDg?" inquired the
Conductor. "Columbus," replied the dead
head. ''$2.10," said Jones. Haven't nary
a stamp" remarked our dead-head ac-
quaintance. "You must pay your fare or
get off the train," said the Conductor.
--pJOpneI," quietly romaTfNeo Une ueau-neau.
The train was stopped, and he was leiton
the side of the road, to wait, as he said, the
next train, on which he succeeded in get
ting. The same scene transpiEed, ending
by dead -head telling the Conductor to stop
her." and he being again left ON the side Of
the road. Train after train was boarded,
and each put him off little nearer Column
bus. The last train on which be got was
that of our friend Jones, who was on his
return trip from BeIlaire to Columbus.
Dead-head got on his train at Pataskala,
and was under full headway before being
discovered by Jones.
''Going to Columbus again, l suppose"
remarked Jones. Haven't been there yet"
said dead-head; II can't get to ride more
than six miles before they put me off. 1
don't think Pllget on more than one or
two more trains after your'n before Coz
lumbus will be the putting off place."
"Well, do you think we can carry you, un-
less you pay your fare?" inquired Jones.
"Stop her" quietly remarked dead-head.
"Well, do think" said Jones, 'of all the
brassy individuals 1 ever met, you are
rather ahead of them all. I'll take you for
your internal impudence and nothing else,p
and dead-head was carried into Columbus
on the same train he started on three days
before.

Speech Of EX-President Pierce nI

Mr.. PRESIDENT AND FELLOW CITIZENS
OF New HAMPSHIRE: assure you that 1t
affords me Il peculiar pleasure and gratifi-
cation to meet here this evening so many
gentlemen with whom / have for many
Years been associated politically and in
social life-men WHO have never talterea in
their devotion to what they believed to be
sound principles-men who have never
done anact, uttered word, or entertained
a sentiment which has not been an act,
word and sentiment in support of the Con-
stitution and of the Union of the United
States based upon it. Our country has
passed through serious perils, but Ihope
that we are now emerging from the thick
darkness which at one time brooded over
it,. The present time calls for the calm,
dispassionate, and patriotic exertions of
all good men in the work of restoration,
not merely in form, but restoration of
community of interests, fraternal feeling,
and an equality of rights among all the
States. l think, l can discern CLEANS of
light. The annual message of President
johnson was admirable, and, in my judg-
ment, his subsequent steps looking to res
toration have been guided by wisdom, pat
riotism, and statesmanlike forecast. l am
pleased to greet as co-workers In noble
cause all men who desire the immediate
restoration of the Southern States to their
civil rights, and who join efforts In saving
whatever may be saved for the prosperity
Of our common country. Under any cir

MAxInILIAN's DIFFICULTIES.

Official Explanation oF the Empress
visit 60 EurOPe-ImPOrtant Questions
With France Demanding the Pres
enee ola Sovereign Power
From the New York Herald
CITY OF MEXICO, July 20, ls66.-El Di-
ario del Imperio, the official paper, makes
the following remarks upon the mission Of
the Empress to Europe. The article being
semi-oificial, explains the official object Of
her majesty, but carefully avoids illusions
to the personal interests which had no little
influence in determining the extraordinary
step taken by the Empress:
" The Empress has left the soil Of Mexico.
The most grave interests Of Mexico was the
motive which actuated her Majesty, and it
calls for national gratitude. Her Majesty
goes to treat personally with France upon
various important points which have al
ready arisen, as well az those which may
present themselves in future. This direct
intervention ofthe Empress is an act Of the
noblest magnanimity, and manifests the zeal
and virtue Of a patriot; and nothing ex-
hibits greater moral courage and resolution
than this visit Of our sovereign to the Court
Of France, wholly for the benefit Of her peo-
pie. Various causes must necessarily be

army, in order that the Emperor may be
able to finish his work Of regenerating the
country and affirming her destinies.
Here we know that we have the opportu-
nifty Of establishing firm and stable govern
ment, notwithstanding Hie difficulties enc0uH-
tered in the efforts 10 make a nation of a
people so long distracted by wars and revo-
lutionE. France and Mexico have to explain
many delicate points upon international
treaties, 10 make proUisiOR for The future and to
adjust matters which concern the interests Of
both nations To treat the questions touched
upon, especially thatof Mexican sovereignty,
upon which depends the administration Of
public affairs and the firm support Of the
nation. is the main object Of the mission.
" The mission is the more important, as
the Empress is 10 supervise the incidents
which terminate the French expedition.
Mexico, in order 10 develop her resources,
and establish her system of state; encoun-
tered obligations for the benefit Of the ma
ton, and TO meet them must make cOmpro-
misses Of her cOnveniences. She must COM
plete her national army in order to conclude
pacifcation, and sustain her forces with en-
ergy and activity during the period Of trans
ition. To the policy and discretion of the
Empress are entrusted most delicate ques-
tions, and il is not in vain that Providence
has inspired her to undertake the expedi-
ton.
"Her Majesty accepted the mission out Of
pure patriotism, facing every obstacle and
emitting no precaution which the case re-
quired. The Emperor co u not confer the
power upon a plenipotenhary, as questions
already exist requiring the presence Of a
sovereign, and in the meantime exigences
might arise which could be settled only by
their Msjesties without sacrificing time,
which may be Of all things indispensable"

oNE on DAVE CRoCKE,Ts LIZ.

From the Bolivar Bullctin.l
One of our oldest citizens, distinguished
soldier, and one who has represented his
country in the halls Of legislation, tells the
following practical joke as perpetrated in
this country many years ago by the illus
trious backwOodsman and Tennessee pioneer.
Over on the west side Of the square, where
now stands the large brick building occu-
pied by the mercantile firm of HARRINGToN
& Co., there used 10 stand little log house
in which was kept a lot Of dry goods, gro
Ceries. and many other articles suited to a
trade derived from a new and thinly popu-
lated country, among which, matter OF
course, If not necessity, was barrel or two
Of old fashioned corn whisky. The narrator
at the time was "a promising clearl," in the
establishment, and while there, made the
acquaintance Of old DAVE himself Crock
EFT made "the store" his headquarters when
he was Sin town" and often could be seen
seated on the head Of a barrel in front oftbe
edifce with a crowd around him all eager
to hear related some Of his exciting and
marvellous stories about bears, wolves, or
panthers. On one occasion CROCKETT came
into the store, and, as usual, desired to trade
coon skins for whisky. The proprietor Of
the store struck trade with him, and was
10 fill quart bottle with his best Corn"
for each skin. CROCKETT threw the coon's
outer garment upon the counter, and the
tradesman picked it up and dashed it into
the loft over head, the usual place for de-
posting skins and peltries, and then stopped
down 10 draw the "fre water" While his
back was turned, CROCKETT thrust the ram
rod Of his old rifle through a crack in the
floor of the loft and drew the skin down.
The gentleman handed him the whisky and
he retired to a vacant lot close by, with a
lot party Of friends, and exhausted its con-
tents. In few moments he entered the
store again and had the bottle filled, depos-
iting a coon skin, and in turn drew another
from the loft, retired and drank to the
health andprosperity Of his thrifty merchant
and repead the trick as often during the day
as he desired. In the evening when be and
his party were somewhat merry, he walked
into the store and asked the merchant how
many skins he had bought from him that
trip, and was told Seventeen p Whereupon
a wager was made of two gallons and a half
o. CROCRETTs favorite, that such was not
the case. The proprietor mounted the lad
der, and, to his utmost establishment, found
that there was but one coon skin in the
loft! CROCKETT paid up like a man for the
bottles, but held on to the wager.

LOW-NECKED DRESSES AND TILTING
HOOPS.

Madame DEMoRET's Mirror Of Fashions
for August truthfully says:
The press Of England and America are
each waging war against prevailing fash
ion-one against loW-necxed dresses and the
other against ''tilting hoops"
Low-necked dresses have been worn in
England from time immemorial as full
dress" and were formerly much more in
decent than now, as the old portraits and
fashion plates show. The moral sense Of the
country revolted, however, and for some
time evening dresses have been made only
moderately decoliete, or some pretty triile Of
lace added, which rather heightened than
injured the becoming effect.
Lately French fashions, such as Pompa-
dour bodies short waists and little boddices,
forming more strips Of silk below the bust,
have invaded England to such a degree as
TO arouse a storm Of very proper and yirtu-
Gus indignation, and the result seems likely
10 be the extinction Of low-necked waists
altogether.
In tins country low-necked dresses have
never found as much favor az in France or
England. Whether it is on account of supe-
rior modesty or inferior physical develop
mcntthe wise must determine. Certain il is,
most invariably affected pulled lace in the
shape of Capes or ehemisettes, and in this
way get the credit for a roundness Of form
they rarely possess.
But what they gain on the score Of mod
esty in high-necked dresses, they lose in the
wearing Of "tilting" hoops. These latter
denominations have reused spirit of oppo-
sition here as fierce rs that displayed in Eng
land against the low-necked dresses, and
we think with quite equal cause. They are,
indeed, 40 positively outrageous, so mon
strgus, that IL is surprising men will allow
their wives and daughters 10 wear them.
The quicker hoped skirts 90 out of fashion
the better, unless some stile is adopted which
is sufficiently quiet and modest for respect
able women TO wear.
1t is matter Of quite sufficient moment
90 merit the attention of intelligent women,
whether il is best 20 give in a thoughtless
adherence 10 whims Of fashion that are
shameless as well as inconyenient
