FLowERs.--How the universal heart of
man blesses flowers! They are wreathed
around the cradle, the marriage altar, and
the tomb. The Persian, in the far East,
delights in their perfume, and writes their
loves in nosegays, while the Indian child
of the great West claps his hands with glee
as he gathers the abundant blossoms-the
illuminated scriptures of the prairies. So
thought we as we inhaled the perfume of a
beautiful boquet sent US by one of our fair
readers. She cannot know how grateful
such present is to the brain-weary para
graphist, or how we turn from the smell
and rattle of papers to the bright colors
and delicious odor the flowers exhale. 1t
tells us, too, our labors are appreciated, and
is an encouragement to attempt more in
the future. Our thanks are but a poor
recompense for so beautiful present.

|, POLICE CoURT-William Lord-Oh,
Lord !-started out on little spree Well
nesday, and by nightfall was slightly OBJ
fusticated. Hewas swinging on to lamp
post, singing:
"oh. come to my arms. my dear Susan Ann"
But Susan Ann didn't come. In point of
fact, we don't believe he has ary Susan
Ann. If he has, she had probably retired
like discreet and virtuous damsel to her
couch several hours previously. A police
man who stood in the shadow OF build
ing near by, came to Swee5 Williams re-
lief. He found the gentle youth incapable
of locomotion, and generously assisted him
to the Calaboose. Yesterday morning the
Mayor assessed little fine of So and costs
which he paid, and he walked off saying /:
.. Oh. had some bright little isle of my own.
Where could hist my benzine all alone,
Where never policeman could break on my hours
Nor calaboose gimmer amongst the green bowers .
Thomas Kempner was as drunk as a lord
yea, as drunk as an entire House of
Lords. Thomas has been victim of mis-
placed confidence, and seeks to drown his
SORROWS in the flowing bowl. But they
don't drown worth cent, and therefore
Thomas is obliged to hist SEVERAL bowls,
every one howist. Thomas was fined
So and costs, and as he fastened back to
the cool corridors of the CaIaboose, he sang,
in accents mild, but broken voice:
omepody vas trunk lasht mite,
He vas trunker te mite pefore,
He gifts trunk agin to-nite,
Den he tonst git trunk any more.

. THE CHoLERA.-Dr. Bigelow, a noted
physician of Boston says: q. GE- --.C=
"From our past observations do not be-
lieve that cholera, should it appear in this
country. will be so likely to trouble New
England as it is to visit the malarious re-
gions of the South and West:' .IaEE 80
Among all the many different remedies
advertised there are none that act so COM
pletely as an antidote to this malarious
poison, and which give vigor and strength,
than DR.. RoBAcK's STOMACH BITTERs AND
BLOOD PILLS. The Blood Pills act directly
on the liver, causing it to throw off the
deleterious matter, and the Bttters restore
the appetite and invigorate the whole sys-
tenn, thoroughly keeping off the terrible
scourge, cholera. jy4-d&W1w

Mason & HAMLIN CABINET ORGANs,-It
is very seldom that any business furnishes
so good an example of true. enterprise as
the manufacture of the above celebrated
instrument, conducted by Messrs. Mason &
Hamlin, of Boston, Mass. 1t seems but as
yesterday that the mention of a reed in
strument suggested naught but snarling,
fine tooth-comb music, and yet such a vast
Improvement has been made that the quail
ity of tone is now hardly recognizable as
coming from reed. If our musical read
ers will personally examine it, they will
agree with as, that tho Cabinet Organ will
fully bear out all that is said of it.-Louis-

The freedmen have not worked well on

OF the crops there, the grasses are most

there will be 10000 to 100000 bales.
A large quantity of war material has ac-
cumulated at San Antonia, destined for the

BUCKEYES ON THEIR TRAyEIs.-In. the
view of our New England friends, Buck
eyes and Western men generally are not
smart, They regard them as having very
lax ideas ON the subject of law. Desiring
to profit by the superior civilization of
Massachusetts,, two of our citizens resolved
on trip to Boston. We suppose it is pref
ty generally understood that liquor is said
to be excluded from the sacred limits of
Massachusetts,, though the citizens of that
State manage to get pretty drunk every
few days. Our friends, large-hearted, gem
erous men, like tod once in while, and
before leaving New York for Bosting, pro
vided themselves, with a.fiask of Cogniac.
just as they crossed the. State line, and as
theywere indulging in a quiet drink, sit
ting In the cars, passenger approached
and touched one OF them on the shoulder,
and said:
"Saay, yew, what's ,ye got in that 'ere
bottle ?''
The gentleman addressed looked up and
replied: kGEG.E .E E~1asZl.a
"Well, it's brandy, if know myself, and
pretty good at that" 10 3.t- ti' 10
"Dew tell. Want to know a. Really
brandy, is it ?" and his mouth watered as
his nose caught a fragrant Whit of the
generous liquor. "Yaas; brandy. Waal,
the State constable wants to see you at the
next station. We've got laws in Massa-
chewsetts. Where be yew from?" ]
:. From Ohio" was the response. 55s.l
"Want to know! 'Spose yew kin drink
much's yer mindter out there, can't ye
Waal, here yew can't dew it, Of
Our friends demonstrated, but il was of
no avail, and as they reached the station
they were arrested for bringing liquor into
the godly State of Massachusetts, contrary
to law. Their bottle was taken from them
by the State Constable and the complain
ant, who with the justice retired to back
room. When the bottle was returned, it
was empty.
"Don't yer know" asked the Justice,
that yeer can't bring brandy into Mas
sachusetts ?" ss45i- Z .ssif.s54 g. ,
He was told that there was no intention
If breaking the law or of doing anything
contrary to the statute in such case made
md provided; that everywhere else men
we're not prohibited from carrying what
liquors they pleased, for their own use.
/ They were finally discharged on the pay
nent of a fine of $40 and costs each and
;he loss of their liquor.
If you desire to hear magnificent swear
ng, and Yankees consigned at once to their
uture homes, ask one of these gentlemen
when he intends taking another trip to
Bosting. ''' "

FLIEs.-A brother OF the quill is out on
the fly question. He speaketh well and
wisely. As one of the phenomena of this
exceptional phenomenal season we note an
unusual number of house flies. They
swarm in myriads. OF all things in insect
or animal life the house fly is the most an
noying. They are persistently annoying,
devilish satanic, and utterly diabolic in
their natures. Mosquitoes, fieas, bed bugs,
and sssich like" are annoying, but we can
understand their motives. They want
your blood. They do not torture you with
out purpose. The Internal fly, however,
is the only convincing argument in favor
of total depravity. He persecutes you
with no hope of deriving benefit, but mere
ly. to crafty the fiendish malice of his ma.
ture. Lie down for an ,after-dinner siesta,
and he is at you in moment. First on
the nose, then in the ear, again on the eye
lid--anywhere and everywhere-he settles
with an exasperating and triumphant buzz
zing, trying all the time to find the most
sensitive location. Having found it, no
other situation will do him. We are of the
opinion that they are pure devils. 1s5si
. If any man wants to make his eternal
fortune, let him devise some means OF rid
ding the world of these pests. Various
devices-fy-traps and poisons-have been
tried, but all to no purpose. 1t is COM
mon saying among housewives, that for
every fly you kill twenty more will come
to attend the funeral. We trnst, however,
that some scientific cuss will take the fly
question into consideration, and invent
some remedy.

Railroad Accident.

New ORLEANS, July "a. - Yesterday
morning passenger train on the Jackson
Railroad ran off the bridge near Terry,
Niss., by parties removing the frog con-
Meeting the rails. The locomotive, tender
md mail and baggage cars were thrown
from the track, falling thirty feet. The
passenger cars remained on the bridge.
The fireman was killed and engineer and
brakesman badly injured. The train was
detained several hours. A reward of one
thousand dollars in gold was offered for
the arrest of the miscreants who removed
the frog. A similar attempt was made
three weeks ago at Crystal Springs, nine
