The greatest philosopher, orator

fresh from his interview with the less
astute philosopher, " J. D., at Fort
ress Monroe. He proposes to visit
your city in few weeks, and if suit
able facilities are offered, will endeavor
to remove, the pressure from your
people, and " lift the veil which en-
shrouds the form of Truth" The
manner in which he proposes to ac-
complish these desirable results is
beautifully simple. He will surrender
himself, a voluntary prisoner, to the
Sheriff of Vanderburgh County to be
manacled and immured in the dark
est cell of your County Prison for
one hour, thus in his own. person

be removed from the community at

After he has 9 martgred for the
specified time, he will lift the veil -
by display of his wonderful powers
of oratory and satire, and if no body
should go to hear him, he will attrib-
ut6H the absence ofan audience to
envy Of his great gifts, and will com
mand the pressure Ito rest On you

The caucus of Republicans was

they shall be fully represented in,both
Houses of Congress by loyal mem

for the. accomplish mentI of this2
and at - the, earliest praptieable
moment we recommend that the
plan of reconstruction lately pro-
posed by a majority of Congress

cooperate with us in the accomplish
ment of this great end. gG43

Kentucky Politics,

The Kentucky Legislature is in a
muddle on the election of a United
States Senator to fill the place
now occupied by that general bore,
GARRETT DAVIS. The strong parties
are the rebel Democracy and the Con-
servatiye Union men, with the Union
Republicans numbering thirty seven
votes and holding the balance of
power. The rebel Democracy were
in high hopes few days ago, but they
have been deserted by a number OF
Conservatives, who are not yet ready
to go over to the enemy, and as mat
ters now stand there is slim prospect
for our good natured neighbor, Ex-
Senator POWELL, or any other man of
his faith. The Conservatives and
Republicans can elect the Senator If
moderation and compromise rule the
hour; but they are SO completely at
antipodes in so many of the vital

How THE CHEST SOCIETY" AT WASH
1NGToN BEHAvE.-The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says:
Much dissatisfaction has existed this
winter as to the behavior of certain
parties who have gained access to the
receptions. At the last reception of
General and Mrs. Grant, on Wednesday
night, to which cards had been issued,
fully one-half of the company were
present without invitations, and many
of the sterner sex, in the jostling and
scrambling for refreshments, seemed to
be entirely unconscious of the fact that
they were in private house, and that
ladies were present. AT the public levee
of the President on Thursday it was
much worse several ladies had hand
some dresses ruined and almost torn off
by the pushing and crowding of rough
men, who, when spoken to about their
conduct, responded in the most insolent
manner. When the assemblage dis
persed number of gentlemen, who had
left their hats and overcoats in the
vestibule, found that they had disap-
peared. Unless some remedy is found
for this, it will become matter of seri-
Gus consideration whether it will not
soon become necessary to pretermit
these receptions altogether.

From the Roman almanac for 1867
we take the following statistics Plus
TX. is the two hundred and fifty-seventh
Pontiff who has sat in St. Peters chair.
He is now seventy-ive years old, and
has attained his majority in office, hay-
ing been Pope for twenty-one years.
The College of Cardinals is composed
at present of fifty-fve men in purple.
Of these fifteen were created by the
predecessor of the present Pope, Grego-
ry XVI, and forty by Plus IN. There
are besides two reserved and thirteen
empty hats. The full College consists
of seventy members. The Catholic
Hierarchy is made up of nine hundred
and sixty-one Patriarchs, Archbishops
and Bishops. At present there are one
hundred and thirty-one vacant Sees.
The Holy Father, in his time, has
erected four Archbishoprics, and ninety
nine Bishoprics, and has raised to the
rank of Metropolitans thirteen Sees.
There are one hundred and twenty
nine vicarships, delegations and Apos-
tolic procedures, twenty four of which
have been instituted by Plus TX. The
population of Rome at Easter, last year,
was 21O, 700 souls, divided between l O2,-
500 males, and $1,000 females. There
were, as the Roman document classifes
them, 10000 soldiers, prisoners and
Protestants. There are in Rome 4, ISL
priests, monks and seminaists, and 492
nuns, and other religious women engag-
ed in giving instruction.

HENRY WARD BEEcHER ON FoPs.
But what shall I say of thhse miser-
able, despicable sprigs ofhumanity that
live to adorn their pocket-handkerchiefs
and their collars ?-men that walk
through society with the thought
that the chief end Of their life is to en-
gage in the frivolous amusements of
the passing hour, and to spend their
time between those frivolous amuse-
ments and their mirror, thinking of do
ing nothing, and wanting to do moth
ing; men million of whom might live
in the air and we be no more conscious
of their existence than of the existence
of the insects around us; men a million
of whom might die and all be put in
one grave-if you only buried their
souls men that put on airs of gentility
and niceness, and look upon the rude
clown, as they call the working man,
with supreme contempt, and pity him
men that have no respect for those that
are obliged to get up early and sweep
out the store; men that are just as GER
tain to die knaves, if they do not die
fools, as there is a law in nature
cannot express my adherence for these
striplings of folly. And 1 declare that,
in our time of the world, with our illu-
with duties pressing from
every side, and with all the inculcations
and examples that have been hand ed
down to us, of disciples of Christianity,
a man who finds nothing to do and has
no disposition to do anything, is frac
tlonal man. He is not even bright
shining fragment. And of all men
that are lawful prey of contempt and
the curling of the lip, these whittlings
OF gentlIity are the most eminent.

q LITTLE PAIR OF BOOTS.

TWO LITTLE PAIR OF BOOTS.
Two little pairs of boots, tonight
Before the fire are drying,
Two little pairs of tired feet ......
In trundle bed are lying;
The tracks they left upon the floor
Make me feel much like signing.
These little boots with copper toes!
They run the livelong day!
And oft times | almost wish
That they were miles away!
So tired am to hear so oft
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the new ploughed grouna
Where mud in plenty lies,
They roll it up in marbles round,
Then bake it into pies;
And then at night upon the floor
In every shape it dries.
To-day was disposed to scold;
But when l look tonight,
At those little boots before the fire
With copper toes so bright,
I think how sad my heart would be,
To put them out of sight.
For in the trunk, up stairs, I've laid
Two socks of white and blue;
If called to put those boots away,
o God what should do?
mourn that there is not tonight
Three pairs instead of two.
1 mourn because thought how nice
My neighbor, "cross the way"
Could keep her carpets all the year,
From getting worn or gray;
vat ,ualI knOyy she'd smile to own
Some little boots to-day.
We mothers weary get and worn,
Over our load of care;
But how we speak of those little ones,
Let each of us beware;
For what would our ire-sides be tonight
If no little boots were there.

TESTIMONIALS FROM CELEBRATED LA,
DIES: .-...-.
The secret of identifying the skin being known
only to Mcssrs. Jared q Rene, they honestly state
| that it differs from all other preparations. 1t
| gives to the most harsh and freckled skin both
the color and texture of polished ivory, removing
| all discoloratiOns whether appearing as freckles,
| tan, morphew, moth, or black-worm specks, and
is especially successful ID smoothing out the
marks left by Smallpox
The agents of L'Email de Paris" most con-
fdently submit to the public the earnest endorse
ments of such distinguished ladies as
Signora Ristori, Mile Felicia Vestva.
Ii, Miss Maggie Mitchell, Mrs. d. p.
Bowers, Lucille Western, Mad.
Ponisl, Mrs. Emma Waller,
Lucy RushtOn, NOemie de

and many others, whose high standing in the
profession gives the stamp of truthfulness to
their intelligent and genuine approval
The Beautiful Lucille Western says
find that the Email" produces all the bril-
and peculiar advantages of perfect harmlessness
1t really adds to the softness and beauty of the
skin.
The Magnificent Vestvali says
have suffered so much from the various white
lotions, &c, which my theatrical profession OBJ
liges me to use, that consider it perfect bene-
faction to find preparation which gives the ne
cessary whiteness to the skin and leaves the skin
cool and smooth.
Miss Maggie Mitchell says
have tried the skin beautificr, "L'Email de
Paris" and found that it instantly imparts a
natural bloom and freshness to the complexion
Jared Email de Paris'' is used as delicate
beautitier of the skin for Theatre Saloon or Ball

producing all the identifying effects of rouge and
white, without their vulgar glare or injury to
the skin.
