A Pungent Consideration of Va
rious Trades and Callings,
BY MILES o'REILLY

By MILES o'REILLr
Of all the trades that men may cali
Unpleasant and offensive,
The Editors is worst Of all,
For he is over pensivc;
His leaders lead 70 nothing high,
His columns are unstable,
And though the printers make him ri,
1t does not suit his table.
Tho Oarpenter--his cour o is plane,
His lit is always near him,
lie augurs every hour Of gain.
He chisels-ard mono jeer him;
lie shaves, yet is not close they say,
Tho public pay his board, sir;
Full of wise saws, he bores away,
And so he swells his hoard, sir.
st. Cristins son--thc mau of shoes,
Has awi things at cuntrol, cir;
He wakes wealthy in hi. views.
But nc'er neglects his soul, sir;
His is indeed a heeling trade,
And when VIC come to casting
The toe-tal profits he has made,
We find his ends are lasting.
The Tailor, too. gives fits to all,
Yet meyer gets a basting;
His cabbage however small,
Are most delicious tasting;
His goose is heated-happy prigl
Unstinted in his measure;
lie always plays at thimble rig.
And seems :; map Of pleasure.
The Farmer reaps fortune plump,
Though narrowed, far from woe, sir;
His spade forever proves trump,
His book is Ipe-an.h {, sir;
However, coTned, he does not slip,
Though husky, never hoarsc, sir;
And in u rlow share partnership,
lie gets his share of course, sir.
Tho Sailor on the giddy mast
Comparatively master
Has m,ny ulwark round hill cast
To wave away disaster;
Even shrouds to him are full Of lie,
His maiustay still is DER him,
htgallant and top gallant crew,
Ui team esp'as before him.
The sturdy Irish laborcr pickS.
And climbs to fimc-'tis funny,
Iio deal, With none but regular bricks,
And SO he peeketS money;
Que friend sticks to him (inortar 'tis).
In hodden gray, sEbaiaed,

The Printer, thoush his case be hard,

And trim Rrman cap, sir;

The Easiae-driYcr, if we track

And when vnu switch him as hs goes,

A Fearful Story of HydrOPhObia-
Death of Six Children from the
Milk of n EIIitten Cow. ~ IIuoJ .-

cd From the Madison (Wis.) Journal, Dec. 9S ] ~
Mr.. Henry Drew, Assistant Superintend-
ent of Public Property, has related TO us
the particulars of a case of hydrophobia at
the Village of Waterloo, which surpasses
in tragic interest almost any story OF the
kind we ever read: .-Il.aiE .p-d EJ L1u
"Some six or seven years ago Q mad dog
went through the village OF Waterloo, Jef-
ferson county, and bit number Of animals.
Among others, it snapped at the leg of q
COW belonging to Mr.. Babeock.a The animal
was examined, but no mark could be found,
and it was supposed that it escaped being
bitten The animal was afterwards sold to
a man by the name of Garrison, who used
her milk very freely, as did two of his
children. Some of the neighb0rs, including
Mr.. Drew's family, were also supplied with
the milk of this cow. ...,t.7, ,5,,I. a.5a.o-,
I'd AT different times during the time since
the COW was bitten there has been inexpli-
cable and fatal sickness among those using
her milk, and two children OF Mr.. .Garri-
son,s. two of Mr.. Drew's, and two others
have been attacked with spasns and died In
great agony. Mr.. Garrison has also beer
attacked at times with spasms. bT The
mystery of this sickness was solved by tht
death, with every symptom Of ofhydrophobia
a short time ago, of the COW SO slightly bit
ten seven wears ago, and In whose system
madness had been latent ever SINCE"
The case Is q singular one, and worthy
the attention of scientific men. ss7g 9re

From Washington.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York CopllnerciaL writes as follows:
"There is much merriment among Presi-
dent Johnson's friends here over pub
lished account of an interview between him
and Representatives Wilson and Rice, of
Iowa, which Mr.. w has furnished for pub
lieation. The object of the interview was
to extort a pledge from Mr.. johnson that
Z congress is 60 be left free to act as it may
deem best, and that no attempt be made by
the Executive to interfere with and intlu-
ence its action by the distribution of patron
ACE, This spatronage' is evidently Mr.
Wilson's vulnerable point, and he sadly
admits that although be pressed the Presi-l
dent. the desired assurance could not be.
"Secretary Seward, in his Auburnspeech,
laid down the doctrine that loyal men must
sustain the Administration, and there are
Indications that those holding Federal of
fices will be expected to stand by the Presi1,
dent. More than this, Congressman who,
oppose the Naturalization must not expect
their friends and protegeS are to be admitted
10 retain fat offices while loyal supporters
of the Executive policy have friends sOut
lin the cold.' Already there haye been some
significant changes at San Francisco, at
New Orleans, and at other points, nor are
any new appointments being made except
of men who stood sby the Rresidenty and
whose protectors in Congress stand by the
Presidents policy. This can but produce
an effect on Capitol Hill, as It has In years
past, and It Is already hinted that the loyal
Tennesseeans will receive their seats before
a great while, as evidence that Congress
desires to stand by the President" ,it,r,,,,,,

zen Cobb Re-nominated for Congress.

The delegates of the Third Con
5res4ional District, composed Of
Crawford, Green, Grant, Iowa, La
iayette, Richland and Sank counties,
held their convention on Tuesday of
asst week, at Boscobel, every AS
sembly and ScnatQriQl district in the
ecven counties being fully represent
ell.
Gen. Ama5a. Cobb was the only
candidate named or thought of, and
he of course received a unanimous
nomination
A unanimous nomination, by full
convention, for third term, and by
q perty very largely in the majority
in the district, is certainly an almost
unheard Of event in the northern
states.
But there are reasons why Gen.
Cobb was the unanimous choice for
q third term there is an impression
tHLOH9 tlC lcOIllC lhdI hlo hOtN oiU
heart are right. The impression
amounts to u conviction and faith
among the people, q conscientious
belief that though all men fall away
and be lost, yet will Cobb never sur
render nor betray his friends and
country.
Judas Iscqriot betrayed his Lord
ana Master for thirty pieces of silver,
perhaps to the value of small farm.
And the race of Judases are still to
be seen, botraying their God and
country, not for silver exactly, but
tor tie postonices and other small
bread and butter prospects. But
Gen. Cobb Is not a doubtful union
apostle. The apostacy Of Johnson,
Doolttle and Randall only gave him
frmness, and the people know that,
at every cock growing Cobb will be
there 60 respond fOl tho union
The proceedings and resolutions OF
the Boscobcl convention which nom
mated Cobb may be read in the HER
AID this week.

Political Signs of the Times.

We are reminded that, in most of
thoprimary town caucus meetings
in Grant County, for elccting dele
gates to attend the County Conven-
ton, a great many persons attend
cd who have not hitherto acted with
the union party, and that, Of such, a
largo part are the sons Of copper
head fathers and of young men hith-
erto under democratic influence. In
one case three SONS pf a bisottcd cop
pcrhead father, the mother however
loyal, all attended union town eau
Gus.
The sons OF Irish parents that
have grownup in this country, some
Of them American born, are general
y training with the union party.
On the other side, we notice a few
old men, hitherto unionists in the
head, but at heart possessing not a
spark of loyal fire unless something
Nasto be made in the shape Of a
small office, just as naturally follow
ing Johnson as a buzzard follows
after n carrion. This class Of men.

Grant has stubbornly refused to even
seem to acquiescc in anything that
was done or said on the entire jour

O. How does that measure stand in the leg

The constitution made two different classes or
