mar caustic, and more or less destroy the vitality

color by gradual absorption, in a most remarka-

A True Military Desnot.

Gen. Phil. SHERIDAN, the renegade Irish
man, is one of the five B~rigadiers under
our new dispensation and is located at New
Orleans. The New York Express says of
him:
General Phil Sheridan may be a very
good sOldier-and so were Alaric, and
Murat, and the Cossacks, that camped down
in Paris, and sucked the city lamps for oil
but as a civil Governor, he seems no bet
ter qualified than would have been the
Cossacks to govern Paris.
Sheridan has power-military power, I'M
der the Five Monarchy Bill, to dispense
Judges and Mayors. and has power to shut
up every Press, and to imprisOn every,man,
white and black, in Texas and Louisiana
but he has no power, under any law, to
substitute one Judge for another, or, one
Mayor for another. Hecan take q Corporal
of his, from the army,iand make a Judge, or
Mayor of him, but he has no power to put
a Civilian in. This is all lawlessness, ever
for a Military Despot.
CB-It is a disgraceful fact that our Con-
gressmen, after having contracted to render
Congressional service for a salary of $4,000
per year, raised the amount to $4,000, and
then made haste to reduce the revenue upon
incomes of $1,000 and upward from ten to
five per cent.

THE "BAsT MAN.

In 1882 an association was formed in
Cincinnati, which was denominatsd the
" Last Mans Society" Itwas compos-
ed Of seven young men, engaged in va
rious pursuits, and was organized when
the cholera was prevailing for the first
time in this country. These young men
we're drawn together by common tie of
friendship and brotherhood, and we're
impelled to their action, at the time, on
account Of the dangers which believed
to surround them.
It was agreed, among other things,
that the anniversary of the organization
should be saeredly observed as long as
any of them lived, or until one Of them
was LETT alone, when he was required for
once, at least, to observe its return. The
anniversary, observance was to consist,
in part, of a repast to be provided by
one of the members, each taking his
turn, the selection to be made BY casting
lots. All who could do so we're bound
to be present at the annual festival, even
if it involved considerable sacrifice.
In the celebration of the anniversary
the table was always to be spread for
