an extra yesterday, and we present II to our
readers In our regular edition this morning. II
will be variously commented upon In the politL
cal papers OF the country. Whatever may be
thought or said Of the doctrines enuneiated by
the Executive, one thing 10 clear, the message,
in Its style, In the conciseness OF Its argument,
and In Its tcrse compact, and forcible utterances
Is not surpassed by any State paper which ever

The Publication OF the Message.

The message was printed in most Of the great
papers in all the large cities yesterday morning,
and was thus given to the country several hours
before 1t was read In Congress. Wehad type,
and could, had we chosen to have violated our
word have given 1t In our regular Issue yester-
day. The Baltimore american has the following
A MESSAGE PoR SALE.-The Presidents mes
sage was published this morning In this city, in
New York Boston and Cincinnati In advance Of
Its delivery to Congress. A copy OF the message
was offered for sale to the american for exclusive
publication in Baltimore yesterday morning by
Washington newspaper correspondent, whose
confidential relations with the President are well
known, and who has heretofore shown his ability
TO procure advance copies OF public documents.
Not deeming the message Of sufficient interest
to pay the cost of telegraphing, we declined to
buy. The offer was then made to n cotempoTary,
who estimating the message more highly than
we did closed the bargain.
We presume we shall hear something from
Washington as to violated confidence, etc. All
such talk will be mere pretcnce. The message
was given out from the White House with the
knowledge that 1t would be sold, and, we rather
think, with the intention 1t should be published
before its presentation in Congress.

delivered brilliant speech against the policy Of

attacked French Intervention in the affairs of

pervious to the interests OF France. This inter
ference by France hurt the cause 1t was designed
to help, and involved the Government in com.
plications to escape from which 1t was Obliged
to persist in the policy OF error, to the general
discomfort OF the country. Instead OF assuming
all the responsibility in SO grave a matter, the
Government should have first consulted the
Legislature.

The Baby Market.

The Ne,o York Dispatch graVely asserts
that the sale of illegitimate babies in that
city is large and profitable business, and
so publicly carried on as scarcely to be
clandestine. 1t says that should the King
of the Ashantees, or any other distinguish
ed cannibal, come to that city, and desire a
fine, fat baby for luxurious meal, he could
be accommodated. These So-called nurse
ries are numerous, and may be found in
different parts of the city, their where
abouts being for the most part advertised
in the daily papers, the announcement be-
ing made in manner that disguises, but
does not conceal, their real import. These
places, the largest of which is situated in
Green wich street, answers a double pur-
pose, that of relieving those Of the re>pon-
sibilitieS of maternity, who do not wish to
be so burdened, and bestowing upon those
who wish such blessings, the well-spring g
of pleasure, "a babe in the house," The
seeker after intantile loveliness can, upon
application, be accommodated to any, de-
sired extent; babies from one day to one
year old are constantly on hand or provided
to order, of any type of beauty or shade of
complexion, and at prices r. nging from
$25 to 5000, warranted sound, and in a
good state of preservation at the time OF
delivery.
A reporter, who visited one of these baby
baZaars, was offered a sickly little English
male infant, IL days old, with red flat by
skin, covered with s'rash,'' for the unrea-
souable price of $50. A robust female child,
four months old, was exhibited, but the re-
porter did not inquire the price. A baby
boy, one month old, who was good and
gave no trouble, was held at $40. A year
and half old French boy, with fair round
limbs, hazel eyes, and curly black hair, was
ticketed at $50. The matron in charge
volunteered the Information that babies
just then were s'rather dull"

Not Worth CEying About.

THE ZaneSvtzle (Ohio) Courier is RESPONSE
BILE for the following: Rev. Samuel Claw
son, a Methodist preacher of eccentric
mannerss some metimes called the ''wild maD,"
was very popular in Western Virginia some
twenty years ago. He was cross-eyed and
wiry made, and very dark skinned for a
white man. At times he was surprisingly
eloquent, always excitable, and once in a
while extrayagant. He once accompanied
a Brother minister, Rev. Mr.. R, promi-
nent city pastor, in visit to colored
church. Mr.R- gave the colored preach
er the hint, and of course Clawson was in
yited to preach. He did so, and during the
sermon set the impulsive Africans to shout
ing an over the house. This in turn set
CIawson to extravaganr words and actions,
and he leaped out of the pulpit like deer,
and began to take the hands of the colored
brethren and mix in quite happily. He
wept for joy. Then pressing through the
crowd he found brother R, and sitting
down beside him he threw his arms around
his neck, and, with the tears streaming
down his face, he said: .Brother R, /
almost wish 1 had been born nigger.
These folks have more religion than we
have.n "Well, well" said brother R.
