OLA PoDRIDA.-The Young Mems Keystone
Club parades this evening in honor of the De-
mocratic gain in Malne!" Everybody in the
city is laughing at them. We had thought that
the young men OF the other or Loco oco party,
were possessed of heads too level to be delsded
by the pitiable averment that the Democrats
had gone round or two up the political ladder
In Maine. We happen to know that there are
q number of sharp chaps who belong to that
organization, at least they were sharp before
they donned "Keystone" capes and lit "Key-
stonen lanterns, and 1T is o matter OF the most
poignant regret that their brains have become
muddled by the mere fact OF joining-so badly
muddled that they can no longer count ten on
eight fingers and two thumbs. Many
of them are just fresh from the school rooms;
but, alas their lately learned arithmetic has
gone The old fossils OF that persuasion, who
have forgotten everything and everybody save
the great Democratic party and Andy Jack
son, and who, like the BourDon', can learn
nothing new. may be pardoned on the
score of imbecility, for credulously receiving
truth ludicrous perversion OF facts and figures
which would chow Copperhead gain in the
what can be said IN excuse? The old saw again,
'You can't play with Goals without getting
blackened." The sad condition into which these
young fellows have fallen should be warning
TO all others not to enter the ranks of the Demo
cracy. Once in and you are gone gone every
way-y0ur brains go first.
As everybody knows, there Is to be grand
National Convention OF loyal soldiers and sailors
in this city on the first and second of October.
A lengthy and stirring call has been issued for
this assemblage-the drum has been tapped,
call is notd bene that Wade Hampton, For
rest, Buckper, Pike, and Semmes will not be
delegates here" That's not bad. We guess,
however, that our men wouldn't care much. Ii
in an appearance at the Convention, the place
might prove rather warm for them. In all like
lihood they would be served like bottles OF poor
champagne-be shaken up and have "heads"
put on them.
Women can talk much faster than men.
Their tongues are on pivot in the centre, and
wag both ways at the same time. Though this
is 80, 1t doesn't necessarily follow that they say
the most. Words are not always Ideas.
We hear that an attempt is to be made to
play the Whue FdDn In costume. Wepredict
that it won't draw. Our people don't like the
principle of looking at trees without seeing
limbs.
The alterations and repairs in the Morris
school-house having been completed, the
schools to occupy that building will be opened
on Monday morning next.
The Democrats are still engaged in throwing
'Seymour and Blair" flags TO the breeze. They
had better keep them out Of the breeze from
Maine, or away goes the bunting.
Many people seem TO regard a little truth"
much after the manner OF little learning
as a dangerous thing, and 80 have nothing to do
with it whatever.
