Tne ReliabIe Gentleman.

This illustrious individual first attracted general
attention in this country by hisreport of the battle
of Manassas, and from that time until the end Of
the war he seemed to be omnipresent. He was
always on hand in every engagement, by land or
by sea- and invariably succeeded in pushing his
accounts Of the same ahead Of all others. 1t is
an old saying that figures will not lie, but this
reliable individual managed to make them lie
every time. He was continually ringing in our
ears dispatches something like this: Another
great victory. Loss of the enemy $500 killed,
1000 wounded, and 1000 prisoners captured. The
loss on our side 81 killed, So wounded, and Is
nssng.H
Well, this reliable gentleman survived the war
and ever since he has, by means of the Telegraph
been scattering his dispatches broadcast over the
country aud suchis the nature of these dispatches
as rule, that those sent one day are contradictet
the very next; or if not denied they do not stant
the test of time but eventually succumb whe1
the truth is made known.
| Several ambitious and aspiring individuals havt
from time to time attempted to ape, if not to riva
the reliable gentleman, by heralding dispatches
| of sensational sort. Here is a specimen: "Al
| interview with the President warrants me in say
ing that martial law will not be tolerated in NeV
Orleans, and will be removed in few hours
Another interview justfes me in proclaimin
that the governor of Louisiana will be immediatel
removed. This is positive. In fact an ordert
this effect is already issued" Such dispatches al
peared g in our midst" many days since, and "
martial law still exists and SO does the governc
of Louisiana! Attempts like these to rival on
who has made deception the study of life tim
are futile. They have not the genuine ring, an
miss their aim; for the community has been E
often imposed upon, it has become an artf
dodger."
The "reliable gentleman" has nearly found h
day. He has passed his meridian and is now in
decline He is seeking to exc out an existence
