BAD TEMpER.-''E Evelyn" the racy
New Orleans correspondent Of the Mo-
bile Register, writes:
The Times has a jolly good article this

some true things are said. The writer

that large portions Of the surface of the
moon are covered with molten silver. mer-

that Swift reached the utmost limit OF
imaginative license when he wrote OF
miniature men surrounded by scenery
of miniature nature But science now
tells us Of miniature planets, Lilliputian
worlds, revolving in their orbits like the
greater globes. Not only are there as
teroids Of ''only three or four miles in di-
ameter, what a charming realm for one
Of the dispossessed Serene Transparencies
of Germany but others descend to the
size ofs'a cannon ball or even pistol bull

there existed fully developed vegetable
and animal Kingdoms, we can only say
that the marvel would not be too great for
the power Of Him with whom all magni-
tude, colossal or microscopic, can be moth

To ensure success in feeding for the

to do their utmost with such means of de-

suit the appetite Of fancy of the beasts to
devour them. BY the display of exsraor-
binary GOODNESS, courage, and skill, they
had chance for escape There is to say
the least. more than this much chance for
our salvation from utter disaster-and
shall we throw it away? Most asured|y,
if we stand still, we shall be devoured by
the beasts of radical agitation, of political
vengeance and venal rapacity. about to be
turned loose upon us; and most assuredly
therefore, if a stylus, or dagger, or still
