grily.
f"Well perhaps it wuz When did that
State vote agin?'' asked he innocently.
to which no anser wuz given. But very
little attenshun is paid to Seekretary
Welles by any one ceptin Seward, and
the fact that he occasionly undertakes
to keep him postid in current events is
ginerally taken ez evidence that he's
breakin up. Poor William it's evident
that he's passin to his dotage.
Gen. Wise sent his congratulashens,
but ez they okepied thitry-eight pages nv
leggl cap paper, elasely written, they
want read !; Mosby sent allegorcle
pipe made nv corn-cob, onto wich was
carved a simbolical nigger with the

Sekretary Randall replied. He wood

not fulfil. He .wuz honest. Honesty wuz
his best holt-simple, child-like, strate-
forwardiness in his dealins in politix wuz
bis eheef flilin and bed well nigh bin his

swer-the eleckshun returns wood indi-
cate to any man Nv ordinary intelleck
that there wuz distileries either in Con-
nectieut or very handy to the Stait, but
there WIZ no post offiicis to spare. To-
carry the Stait every wnn of EN- had bin

The president sremarkt that he RELY

Good go and Good move what there is of
the College bildins. 1t woodsnt cost
much to pay freight on that corner stun.
spose a better wun Good be got In Con-
necticut at less than the cost of transper-
tin it, but wherever that Democratic Col

support me ez we'll 1speek frankly. I
kin understand why man kin be a dim

coz they come from that region, and the
