A NEW NAME-Petroleum " Nasty ur-
gently advocates the passage of law in ev-
cry State, granting the right to the Democ-
racy to change their name, from dough
face and copperhead' to that of 'tSpaniel
Democracy." He thinks the name is soft
and euphonious,' as well as graphic in Its
descriptive force, and therefore well calcu-
lated to be applied to his friends. Petrole-
um shouldn't be SO severe

He says that in the Northern States the

nothing" This declaration is certainly
very creditable to the Republicans. How
do you like it, Democrats ?''

this State keeps right on, the pioneer in

The MuskIngun Improvement.

This work, which cost the State of
Ohio an immense amount Of money to
build, seems TO be nearing the last stag
ss ofits existence. The Lessees, who
were bound to keep it in repair, have
pocketsd the tolls whlch,it has brought
III for some years past, and sre now
making great exertions to have them
selves exonsrate6 from the burden Of
repairing the breaches which their
negligence has allowed the water to
make. Recently u meeting has bean
held in Zanssvillo, Ohio, to put In &C.
ton measures by which the Legisla-
ture will release them from their bonds,
At this meeting it was represented
that the great gorge Of ice and flood Of
water, which has just past down the
river, were the causes of the dilipidat'
cd condition which the Muskingum
Improvement now presents; and it
was urged that such an unlocked for
and unprecedented how of the Gle
ments was beyond the comprehension
ofman, and that, therefore, it would be
unjust for the State to hold the Lessees
to their contract. We're ouch repre-
sentation true, we would feel like
showing a lenient spirit and relieving
those oppressed by the freaks of ma
ture. But they are not true, The great
injuries which the improvement has
received were occaSionsd last summer.

WAITING FOR 4 RISE.

Many breakfast-tables have recently been re-
freshed by reading i'll the newspapers how
foolish farmer in Maine refused To take 40
cents per pound last Winter for his butter, and
how he has now, with grief in his face and
despair in his soul, been mournfully glad to take
% cents per pound for the same merchandise.
The circumstance comes home TO our business
and bosoms 10 touches us in the abdominal
regions, and il thrills the gustatOry nerves. 1t
has u breeehes pocket interest. IL is encOurag-
ing to all economically minded housekeepers.
1t has something of the delicate flavor of an
accomplished revenge. Benevolent matrons
will regard it as the next best thing to hearing
that the unreasonable and grasping Maine ag-
rculturist has been sent to Jail. And all be-
cause this poor man yielded TO the ordinary
instincts of humanity, and was fully convinced
that butter was butter and that there was no
thing like butter in general, .and his butter
in particular, in all the world. TO be sure, he
was not altogether solitary in his notion-like
other men, he only made pet of his private
stock in trade. So there are some who are oil
for leather This man does not clearly see
how the world would revOlve on its own axis
without pork another bases the perpetuHy OF
the Government upon oats :; on the Eastern
eoast, Goldfish, and even heniDes, seem larger
than whales; they have their own views OF
onions in Wethersfield, and of beans I'D Bev-
erly, of hams in Cincinnati, and OF mutton IN
Vermont. The butter man In Maine merely
followed the lead of much bigger folk IMAM
eially than himself; his only mistake was IN
net knowing when. to sell. Common sense
might have told him that butter could no more
stand eternally at 40 cents per poind, than q
rat could live under an exhausted receiver, or
a bull-froe pass his whole life in condition
of imitation; but common sense and specuia-
tiOp are not the steadiest allies in Che wOrd and
