Two weeks ago a man ran GREATNESS into
4 crowd that had assembled on Main street.
st. Louis, and asked what was the matter Z
On being told that a man had been killed,
he exclaimed in a disappointed tone: !" Is
that all, thought il was a dog hight r The
following, which occurred on Sansssne
street, Saeramento, Cal, is kindred oc-'
currauce: "A German was riding along
the aforementioned street, when he heard
a pistol shot behind, and heard the Whizzing
Of a ball near him, and felt his hat shake.
He turned and saw a man with a revolver
In his hand, and took off his bar and found
fresh bullet hole in it.
"Did yogshoot at me 2" asked the man.
" Yes" replied the other party, that's
my horse; II was stolen from me recently"
You must be mistaken" said the Ger
man, " have owned the horse for three
years"
WE'LL" said the other, "when come
TO look at him, believe l am mistaken.
Excuse me, sir. won't you take drink -

TIE New York Citizen contained, a
couple of weeks ago, an elaborate article de-
Tending Horace Greeley for his jeff Davis
5aiI-bond episode. This drew from Mr.
Greeley the following letter to the editor
of the Citizen:
ALBANY, Tune 13.-DEAR MILEs; |
thank you heartily for your article Of last
Saturday, though i ask none to comment
or justify me only beg my friends not
to apologize for me. make no apologies
and want none; can wait. know that
the Yankee school mistresses teaching negro
young ones in Dixie, understand and APP
preciate what have done; and am con-
fdent that the politicians win be able to do
so by-snd- by. But whether they shall or
shall not, know what good / have done to
liberty and Union, now and forever, one
and inseparable,' and no personal incon-
venience shall make me repent of what
have well done. Yours,
always truly, HORACE GRERLEY.

Came then sickness, and in anguish day by

Vain were nj! the arts nfhca,ing, blight was

Vain our wniling, vain our weeping, cruel

Caring not that she was fair.
After ono long night Of sorrow, ere the

From tho taper dimly burning, gently to
