When ho destroyed his feet on

BY order of the President his
sailors were organized as a brig

Soda Water.

A few days since, q csuntrymar
and his recently espeused wife, Wis.
tied the city for the purpose Of seeing
the ''sights." While strolling through
the streets. they thought they would
indulge in the luxury of a glass Of
soda. Entering an apethecary store,
they made known their wants.
"What kind of syrup" asked the
man of pills.
"Wall, 1 guess I'll take some OF
the syrup of squills," answered the
countryman.
"We do not use that kind" the
clerk said.
81 know you don't, bekase it's
costly. 1 will have the syrup Of
squills."
The druggist demonstrated, but all
to no purpose. His customer would
have squllls, remarking:
"All the other syrups is made of
sugar, lemon drops, sassperriller,
and sich things to humbug folks"
The squills were procured and our
hero requested to pour out for him
self; and he did so, taking bountl-
full quantity, in order to get his mon
ey's worth.
The heroine being asked how she
would prefer hers, raised herself to
the supposed dignity of a city belle,
and replied:
"Reckon as how I'll try mine with
ont any squills, or any sweetnin'."
Her wish was complied with, for
the druggist was nonplused at the
independence of the apparently hap
py pair. They touched their glasses,
drank and sat down, as they re
marked, "to let it settle" In pass
ing their own opinions on the drinks,
they gave anything but a favorable
decision. In lew moments our
hero began to experience new in
ternal sensation.
"Jerusalem!" he exclaimed, "what's
the matter with my stomach" and
before an answer could be returned
he was four miles off Cape Coda
clear case of nausea marina.
"I'm pisened," he moaned. "Only
married three days and got to die
Pump it out of me, someb ody! I'll
give a doctor so cents to save my
ifer'
The wife fell on her knees, and at

- The Nashuilla ca !,

@ The Nashville Gazette. BEING
very conservative" Southern pa.
per has, of course, the very latest
news about the Northern Democra.
cy. That paper of the llth, SAYS.
sMany of the prominent leaders of
the Democratic party have been
quietly consulting in New York dur
ing the past week." and that they
are sin favor of a speedy change Of
the entire policy of that party, in the
hope that it viii enable them to car
ry the next Presidential election. -
The plan is simply, and the Gazette
puts it in italics, to ''ignors tie negro
altogether" And in place of the
negro the Democrats are to take up
Internal improvements. Their great
principles are to be the Pacific rail
rosds, the Niagara ship canal, the
Mississippi levees, the connection OF
the Ohio River and the Chesapeake
Bay by water, and other grand
schemes for spending public money.
The Gazette says, 'Free Trade is to
be tackled on," and this is the pro-
gramme in outline, which "will have
some filing up in regard to consti.
tutional obligations and the binding
force of Supreme Court decisions,
but "Internal Improvements and
Free Trade" will be the rallying cry.
The Gazette pronounces this semi
nently proper" and declares the
Democratic party must abandon the
negro question or perish.-Cin. Com.

fate Of Vicksburg, and that it has

demands. 1 have not endeayored to

Rebellion, speaking of this battle

brunt of the BATTLE" but he scarcely
says dozen words about the battle.

incidents to relate of this battle, but
as l have already occupied too
much space, I will not at the present
further intrude.
