A Most Exciting Scene.

On Saturday night, May 30th, Bailey
& Co.'s Circus and Menagerie concluded
its engagements in this city, and about 4
o'clock, Sunday morning left for Water
town. The teams drove along slowly only
caring to reach Oconomowoc by Sunday
night, have good rest and drive into
Watertown Monday morning. About
II o'clock yesterday the teams left the
junction of the Watertown and Wauke-
sha pixies, and struck the Pewaukee
road. Those of our people who have
driven on this road know the very bad
condition the road is in, and will not be
surprised to learn that the train-master
urged extra caution on the part of the
teamsters. He had just passed along the
line, waking up the sleepy drivers and
warning them, when it is supposed the
driver of the team containing the cages
of the lioness and her whelps, fell asleep,
for his wagon, passing over bad place
in the planked road, careened and fell
into the ditch by the side of the road.
The driver being thrown of, struck
stone by the road side, injuring him SO
badly that he let go his horses, who start
ed, pulling the capsized cage with them,
and dragging it over the rough ground.
The animals in the cage, awakened from
their slumbers, set up terrific roar
which frightened the horses, increasing
their already rapid speed.-Fortunately
the horses broke from the wagon, and be-
fore going great distance were hauled
up by one of the advance teams. The
affair created much excitement as it was
learned through the scattered line, and
the other teams closed up to it, in order
that the attendants might render assis-
tance. Upon attempting to lift the wag-
on back to its place, it was found that
the cage of the lioness was broken, and
the train-master ordered it let down again
until the tanner who had the cage in charge
could be sent for. In letting it down
part of the cage caught in the leg of one
of the whelps, badly jamming it. Hither-
to the lioness had paid no attention to the
men gathered about, but when the whslp,

"Treating."

1
bipeds known as young America,"
treating is everywhere accepted as a
friendly token. They strike glasses with
an air of conscious superiority that
must be seen to be appreciated, and de-
fine each other as "bully," &c. They
manifest an ingenuity in devising catch
es, sells" and the like, whereby to fast
en- treat" upon each other, that
would be creditable in political wire
puller. A new coat, hat, or other gar
ment must be "wet," or it will not fit
easily in their company. If one, pur-
chance, meeting with streak of partic-
ularly good fortune, he is compelled to
shell" for the drinks if he is remem-
bered in his uncle's will, he must "treat !"
if he gets married (young ladies, mark
this,) his friends all expect to "soak at
his expense.
How useless, how contemplate this
custom! The path is dangerous. Many
man has squandered fortune in treat
ing his friends, and has at last "shufIled
off this mortal coil in an aims house.
Thousands have, by this social indul-
gence, opened up within themselves,
deep, yelling spring of desire, the dark
turbid waters of which have rolled rap
idly on along the winding courses of their
lives, growing broader and deeper at ev-
cry step, its current waxing swifter and
stronger, until at last it has utterly over
whelmed them, enfolded into its burn
ing, corrupting embrace and whirled
them rapidly, unconsciously onward to
the mighty, laundering, seething Mag
ara of final ruin and degradation.
Six-sevenths of all our pauperism has
been traced to rum. You who grumble
at the "poor tax" consider this fact
How much money do you annually
squander in treating your companions ?
in setting the young an example, which,
if followed, may be the means of sending
them to the poor house? Do you re-
gard your daily "btters as indispensa-
BILE to your health and comfort? Then
why do you grumble that you are obliged
to assist in supporting those who, by fol-
lowing course which met with your ap-
proval, by fostering habit which, if not
taught them by you, you have taught
others, have become ruined in health and
property
Doubtless you will say -" away with
all this, we'll drink while we will it, and
would try to argufy nothing about it,"
1t is hard to convince man against
his appetite. Wrapped up in the thrice
impenetrable shield of inherent selfish
ness. he thinks of nothing but the graft
fication of his own groveling desires.
His song is ever:
wen whistle and drink.
And for nobody"
But young men, think not because other
and older men than you, do SO; age does
not always bring wisdom. When asked
to treat" say as certain other man
once did: Friends, have too deep
regard for you to do you an injury, to
degrade myself before you or to allow
you to degrade yourself before me-"

Strasser, the old executioner Of Pesth,
has committed suicide in his 10th year.
1t was he who assassinated the heroic
Hungarians by order of the cowardly
Haynau and other infamous Austrian
generals. He always felt remorse since
1849, and the reading of Sanson's mem-
oirs made SO terrible an impression ON his
mind that he put an end to his miserable
existence. He often would talk of the
Arad tragedy, where he strangled the
nine Hungarian heroes, and described
them with glowing admiration the calm
ness with which the victims of the Haps-
burgs met their fate. He always closed
these narratives by exclaiming. They
(the Hapsburgs } are responsible for it"

Lincoln, letters of sympathy and condo
lence were received in great numbers from
Kings, Queens and Potentates. Forty thou
sand of these were published and Gistribu-
ted to the members of Congress for distribu-
tion, costing large sum OF money, and not
worth a cent. But this did not satisfy the
loyal bookmen. They therefore got up
scheme to publish magnificent book, con-
tanning all theseforeign letters of coincidence
and sympathy, and sent one to each King.
Queen or POtentate who had written let
ter, the whole costing one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars-thirty-se and
half dollars each. Now, how many Of
our people ever heard of these letters, or
ever cared whether they were printed or
not? or who would give one dollar vol
ume for one of them for his library? This
was not done out of great respect for these
very synpathizing patriots, or for the sa-
credness in which the memory of Mr.. Lin
coin was held by his countrymen, not at
all, hut to give some favorite fat job at
the expense of the people. $50 the money
goes,'' and will go until the people say ii
is enough, and put honest, conscientious
and trustworthy public servants in office

to-day, to be quite winterish.

IT is well understood that Mr.. Stanton
will not, under any supposable circum-
stances, remain at the head of the War
Department, except for very brief PERIOD
or assume the charge of any other Depart
ment. His health forbids it, whatever
might be his inclination. He must be left
wholly out of the account, much as this is
to be regretted, in any calculation concern
ing the organization of Mr.. Wade's admin
istration.-Toledo Blade.
You don't say? Won't this intelligence
convulse the country d? Here is man in the
frailest of health-a man the sands of
whose life are fast running out-whose pulse
day by day is becoming weaker, and his
eyes getting DINNER every twenty-four
hours, and who ''will not under any sup
posable circumstances, remain at the head
of the War Department, except for uery
brief fperiod"-who would not leave the War
Department under any considerations,
when asked to do so by President JOHNSON,
and because President JOHNSON, undoubt-
cdly, having sincere anxiety for the res
toration and preservation of his health, re-
moved him, the Radicals in Congress and
the Radicals outside of Congress, since in
February, have been endeavoring to make
each other, and everybody else, believe that
President JOHNSON in SO doing had been
guilty of 'high crime and misdemeanor,
aud that nothing would satisfy the coun-
try but his removal instead. What is the
meaning of this? Do the Radicals really
want to kill this exceedingly delicate Mr..
STANTON? Let them look to it in time, that
the crime of his murder be not upon their
heads.

Is THE Springfield Daily Advertiser a
Church? Referring to the statement, that
Churches even were giving volume and
force to the pressure that is brought upon
senator's to Impeach President JOHNSON,
We expressed wonder whether they were
The Churches that recognized the permis-
,ion of Divine Providence in the assassina-
ton of President LINCOLN. The Aduerti-
ser appears to consider itself called upon to
reply, which it does in these words:
"We were never of those who received any
comfort from the assassination of so noble
ruler as Lincoln. We felt that the Prov
ldence in the tragedy was a severe and Bit
er one, and that the party that would pick
Up and invest with power such drunken
md irresponsible brute as johnson, would
, )e rebuked. All this has been realized
The Lord loveth whom he chasteneth,'
however"
We do not think that the Republican par.
~ is sufficiently chastened yet, for its man
fold sins against the Constitution and its
outrageous corruption. for "the Lord" to
be drawn toward it lovingly. 1t gives us
pleasure to know that the Advertiser did
not receive "any comfort" from the {" as
sassination'' of President LINCOLN. We
advise the editor of the Advertiser to be
virtuous and he'll be happy.

ONLY $1,000. While the robbers were con-

the night of the robbery, he told them they
would only find $4,000 or $4,000. One of
the robbers replied: 1--WE would not have
troubled you if we had known there was
only that amount. We thought there was
