The following, which we copy from an
exchange, will make jacket which, we
do not think will fit any gentleman in Nc

He was standing on the corner,
In the place where loafers meet.
And he watched the dressy dansels
As they waded DER the street.
From his mouth came inuendoes,
And his eyes were opened wide,
AZ on tiptoe they came dancing
Ger the muddy sloppy tide
When IA lady and her daughter,
Stepping carefully along,
Closely yelled from street inspection,
Heard his Shiny 'venomed tongue.
Then the little wells were lifted,
And wit, shame his head he hung,
For his mother and his sister
Thus had struck the speaker dumb.

chine Itself, ready for usel A windlass
with breaks attached to the wheel is used
to drop bucket into the deepest or shall
lowest well: touch of the windlass-handle
will stop the bucket at any altitude, and
hence no injury can come from the use of
the elevator, by even child. The bucket
fills itself and returns to the surface to
empty itself in the trough or vessel for
which the water is required. There is no
possible danger in using it and its convcn-
fence is most UNREASONABLE. We have
seen it in exercise and know it is success
It is said that 10. WYMAN, of this city,

One singular fact, says Young's His
tory Of the War, in connection with
the death of Mr.. Lincoln, is, that no
cOroner's inquest was ever held on his
body no legal evidence taken as to the
manner of his death, nor was single
person accused of connection with it,
ever bro't into a corurt of law nor is
there, to this day, any legal testimony
whatever as to the manner of his death,
the cause of it, or who killed him.

"exposed" in McGregor, few nights

In his famous Bunker Hill grafton,
Webster said /:

In MS famous bunker Hill grafton,
Webster said /:
"a military republic, a government
founded on mock elections and supported
only by the sword, is movement indeed,
but retrograde and disastrous movement
from the regular and old-fashioned monar-
chical system. If men would enjoy the
blessings Of republican government, they
must govern themselves by reason, by mu-
tual counsel and consultation, by a sense
Of feeling and general interest, and by the
acquiesence of the minority in the will of
the majority properly expressed; and, above
all. the military must be kept according to
the language of our bill of rights, in
strict subordination to the ciri1 authority.
wherever this lesson is not both learn
ed and practised, there can be no political
freedom. Absurd, preposteyous It is, a
scoF satire upon free forms Of constitu-
tional liberty, for forms Of government to
be prescribed by military leaders, and the
right Of suffrage to be exercised at the point
Of the sicord."
If the old fogy had lived in these days
OF political enlightenment and constitu-
tional dfamation no such laurels would be
showered upon his memory as are now in
recollection of his gigantic ability.
