KISS MY WIFE, OR FIGHT NE.

There are few men who are not averse
TO seeing their wives kissed, but an ex
change relates the particulars Of case in
which a newly welded benedict felt him
self insuted because his wife wasn't
kissed. The bridegroom in question was
a stalwart young rustic, who was known
as a formidable operator in a "fTee fight.
His bride was a beautiful and blooming
young country girl only sixteen years OF
of age, aud the twain were at a party
where a number Of young folks were en-
joying themselves in the good old fash
ioned pawn. paying style. Every girl in
the room was called out and kissed, ex
cept Mrs. B., the beautiful young bride
aforesaid, and although there was not a
young ster present who was not dying TO
taste her lips, they were restrained BY the
presence OF her herculeau husband, who
stood regarding the party with sulleu
look and dissatisfaction. They mistook
the cause, however. for suddenly he ex
pressed himself. Rolling up his sleeves
he stepped into the middle Of the room,
and in a tone of voice that secured atten
ton, said: 1"Gehtlemen, l have been
noticing how things have been working

EDITOR SENTINEL: We have singular il

we were started from our sleep by the
pTecipitate shock of an earthquake, imme.

thunder. But in little while quiet

and laughing heartily at the singular
phenomenon; but our countenauces soon
underwent a serious change, for il began
to grow dark; the whole heavens were ful
of avery black smoke or cloud; the all
had a sulPhurous smell, and ashes Of a
brown ish color fell as fast as ever saw
il snow. We had to use candles In the
mess room. The most of us went in to
breakfast, but had only got fai ly into
our seats, when, horror upon horror! the
earth seemed rolling like waves upon the
ocean; every one was thrown TO the floor,
only, on regaining their feet, to be placed
in the same position again, accompa MED
with the rafting of dishes, the crashing
of window glasses, cracking Of limbers,
of buildings, and the screams flhe flight
ened. You could not imagine a more
perfect chaos. Some of US gained the
door, and such a sight met our gaze as
was probably never before beheld.
The tall pines around the fort seemed
lashing themselves into fury; the wagons
in front of The stable were engaged in a
pitched battle; horses and cattle were ly

the most pitilul means; dogs were howl
ing and the unesrthly cries of the Kla-
math Indians, camped near the fort COM
pleted the scene. We imagined we were
amidst the wreck Of matter and The crush
of worlds.' The suffers store was
thrown about twenty feet from its former
position. There were no lives lost, nor
any serious accident to any one, but there
are quite number of bruised shins and
skinned noses. There is no serious dam,

or frame houses, but do not thiLk there
is a whole pane of glass left at the fort.
There are many speculations as to the
cause Of this most singular freak Of nature
Most Of Us are of the opinion that vol

smoke is seen ascending in that direction
Some Of the soldiers have volunteered t

A Paris correspondent of the
Boston Journal gives the follow
ing as his impression of the French
Emperor and his wife:
Those who expect to find the
Emperor a feeble and waning
man will be disappointed. He
seems to be in the prime of life
and the full yigor Of health. He
has none of that sleepy, drovsy
look represented in pictures. His
eye is not heavy and stolid. His
face is full Of thought, and his
eye, when he chooses to lift his
head, Is brilliant. He acts like q
misanthrope. The expression on
his face is that of a man jaded-
tired out with ietes and shows
one who didn't care to conceal his
disgust. He sits back in his car
riage, or rather crouched up in the
corner, Indifferent to all the plau-
dts Of the great crowd, not even
to look on the assembled
multitude watching for the I'M
perial smiles. Not so the Empress.
She is benignant, intellectual and
handsome. She never appears
but the people so into ecstacies.

Feeling their Way.

The Radicals are cautiously'feel
ing their way, even in the North
in imitation of the despotical
governments of the Old World
in movements looking to the regu
laticn by law, if not suppression,
Of political meetings. Thus, in
Europe, political professions and
banquets are not allowed, unless
they are for the Government. So,
too, we read as follows here:
GAN ExTINGUIsHER.
"The Pennsylvania Senate last
week concurred in the House bill
forbidding political professions af
ter dark in the city of Philadel-
phia during the ten days next pre-.
ceding any general election"
If the Government can prohib-
it political professions "after
dark" they may do it "before
dark" or prohibit them altogether!
Instead of furnishing those who dis
turb professions, and reforming
abuses connected with them, a
blow is struck at the right of popu-
lar assemblage and demonstrations

A Sharp Boy.

One evening a father rather ad.
dicted to drinking, was hearing
his little Johnny recite his Sun,
day school lesson. 1t was from
the fourteenth chapter of Mat
thew, wherein is related the para
bic of the malicious individual
who went about sowing tares, &c.
"What is a tare?' the parent
interrupted to enquire.
Johnny hesitated.
"Tell me, my son, tell me what
a tare is"
"You have had 'em," said John
ny, casting down his eyes and
wriggling his foot.
"Had 'em!' said the astonish-
ed parent opening his eyes rather
wide, "why, what do you mean,
Johnny?"
"When you didn't come home
for three days last week." said
Johnny, II heard mother tell
Aunt Susan that you was off on
a tare."
The Sunday school was brought
to an abrupt close, and Johnny,
who knew too much altogether to
sit up any later, was sent off to
bed.

Impeachment.

The New York Times says
"Nothing is now heard about i'm
parchment. The newspapers are
silent on the subject, and even
the Washington correspondents,
hard pressed though they be for
items, rarely venture to mention
it. The failure of the committee
to oproduce a single fact in sup
port of their vague allegations,
proved on what a slender basis
Butler and company built their
calculations. The more recent
action Of the President in regard
to the attempts to delay the op-
Grafton Of the reconstruction law
seems to have given the advocates
of impeachment their quietus.-
Their plea was that the President
could not be entrusted with the
administration Of the law; where
as, the declaration of the Attor-
ney General in the Supreme Court,
and the steps he has already taken,
prove clearly that the President
is intent upon the enforcement of
the law. That fact disposes Of
the impeachment business"

Cal, is said to be capable of sus-
tanning hundreds of thousands Of

BY THE RIVER.

We stood by the river, my friend and I,
One beautiful night in June;
| Oh, fair was the river and calm the sky,
Our hearts were beating in tune
In tune to the last good light of the birds;
In tune to the breeze oerhead;
In tune to the loving, musical words,
That each to the other said.
Though our smiles were rare and our word
were few,
God knows how happy we were;
We trusted each others affection true,
We felt that the world was fair.
Our kindred spirits were nicely strung,
Duetting in perfect tune;
Oh, friend, we were careless, blithe, and young,
By the river that night in June.
4, We stood by the river, my friend and I,
Thesummer was aicely past;
But change had come over earth and sky
Since we saw the river last.
Atew of the roses have died away,
A song-bird or two was hushed;
Bat the earth looked mournful that August day,
For our hearts were dry and crushed.
We left the still river, my friend and I,
We saw it never again,
And years, bearing changes to brow and eye,
Have glided away since then.
oh, steadfast my friend with the earnest eyes,
My friend with the brow serene,
Ger the vanished past we may mingle sighs,
Spite of weary miles between.
1t will not be long. for my eyes are dim,
Thy raven hair must be white;
We shall meet once by rivers brlm,
Deaths river, dear, will not fright.
A stranger will mark with a careless eye
Two graves in the churchyard sod,
While we stand by the river, my friend and 1,
That glads the city of God.

county, through his paper, the
Knoxville Wing, that the rate of
their taxes for this year "will be
one dollar and twenty-eight cents
on each hundred dollars of tax.
able property, and two dollars
and fifty cents on each poll"
And Col. S. K. N. Patton, the
Radical Representative from
Washington county in the late
Legislature, says the aggregate of
taxes to be raised this year is ST.
524, 900, and this does not include
the expenses to be incsrred in
maintaining the loyal militia
The members Of the Legislature
were perfectly aware of the enor-
nous taxes imposed upon the
people, amounting to nearly five
times thato of 1860, yet they voted
to pay themselves and the officers
of the Legislature in gold, or in
greenbacks at an equivalent of
forty per cent. premium for gold.
Now this operation has cost the
State nearly sixty-four thousand
dollars, almost one-half the inter-
est on the State debt, which has
to be paid the first of July. This
increase of pay was voted to them
selves by the members of the

that the State authorities had to
draw heavily upon the so-called

fund"-to meet the January in
terest on our State debt. Here
we are now within two months
of the time when interest has to
be paid again upon our State debt,
and an empty treasury to start
with. The people are taxed as
they never were before to meet
the outrageous extravaganza of
our present State government,

members of the Legislature vote
themselves an increase of pay |
amounting to nearly sixty-four
thousand dollars! Taxpayers Of |

The arrival in France of Marsh
al Bazaine and his expeditionary
corps from Mexico is a very oppor-
tune thing for the Emperor Napo-
leon, in view of the threatened
war with Prussia. 1t adds to the
immediate effective force of the
Emperor 500 of the most har-
dened and experienced troops in
the French service. Their disci-
pline has hardly suffered at all,
even in such service as they have
had in Mexico. and they will en-
ter all the more eagerly upon a
great civilized war, because of the
mean and barbarous struggle in
which they have been engaged
during the last four years. Baz-
alne, too, is a very capable soldier,
though he had not much chance
of displaying the fact in the Mex
lean campaign. We do not doubt
that the officers and soldiers of
the Mexican corps will signalize
themselves in the approaching
war on the Rhine-if such a war
is to take place.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
A Hen Rat-Catcher.

A friend of ours, who lives in

ful man. He says that yesterday
morning, while in his stable ad.
miring his fine horses, as he is
wont to do, he heard a squeaking
and futtering noise on the outside,
whereupon he rushed to the door,
and imagine his surprise, when
seeing his game hen and rooster
victors over a large sized mouse.
The games had doubled in on the
unfortunate mouse, as he made
his appearance beyond the sill of
the stable, and the hen had him
securely fastened by a bill holt
on the top of his cranium. Once
or twice she loosened her holt as
if to show the fellow what COM
plete mastery she had over him,
and the mouse took to his heels
with all possible speed. 1t was
no use. The hen gobbled him up
again with the dexterity of rat
terrier, and continued to shake
him until the breath was out of
his body. Then-oh! what then,
reader, can be more remarkable
than what has just been related 2
she (the hen) actually proceed
ed to gulp the mouse down, head,
body, tail and all, just as if he
had been grain of corn or wheat
