IN TROUBLE.

Like the boy who won the elephant
at a rattle and didn't know what to do
with him" the Radicals are in bad
fix with the Impeachment monster.
Groesbeck and Evarts have torn asun-
der the fiimsy veil which partially con-
cealed his hideous form from the gaze
of the public, and now his Radical
keepers are in terrible quandary as to
how they will get rid of him. Shall
they send him back to his native jungle,
to be hitched again to the Juggernaut
car which he was wont to drag, or
shall they keep him on exhibition jim
their menagerie until the close Of the
fail campaign? Dropping the figure,
shall they acquit the President and ac-
knowledge themselves a set of fools, or
shall they convict him and prove
themselves a band of knaves? This is
the choice they are compelled to make.
This is the dilemma upon one Of the
sharp prongs Of which they must
choose to be impaled. If they acquit,
they declare to the people that every
Radical Congressman is q fool, for ev-
cry Radical Congressman voted for
Impeachment. If they convict, they
prove themselves pe,JlWed kHare5, for,
according to the construction of the
Senate itself, as announced by Senator
Sherman, at the time Of the passage of
the Tenure of Office bill, that law does
not affect the case Of Secretary Stanton.
Into this awful predicament, has the
rabid rage of the Rump rushed the
Radical party. BY the judgment of
their own partizans in the United States
Senate, they will be ridiculed as fools,
or branded rs kaurss! Now, let them
choose.
They can and they can't
They will and they won't;
They'll be damned if they do
And be damned if they don't"

THE REGISTRY GIG.

One citizen is as good as another.
One voter has the same privileges
guaranteed him by the Constitution as
1 another Yet, under the operation OF
the Registry Law, just passed by the
Radical Legislature, and signed by
Gov. Geary, citizens Of foreign birth are
put to much greater trouble than native
/ citizens, in order to retain the right of
electors. If the former do not fulfil
certain requirements of that law, they
are disfranchised. They must exhibit
naturalization papers to the Assess
or, and at the polls must permit the
election board to write upon them the
word, "vOted, with the date Ofthe vote.
! OF course, all this is intended as gag
to the Germans, Irish, English, French,
Scotch and other foreign born citizens.
1t is intended to stifie the voice Of our
adopted citizens, who, by our adoption,
have equal rights with the rest Of us.
! In the debate upon this bill, John
! Hickman, of Chester, leading Radi-
! cal, declared, that he would rather that
San intelligent Negro should vote,
/ than an Irishman." Senator Fisher, of
Lancaster, another light of the Radical
! persuasion, defended the character of
the bill, by saying that the Democrat
ic party was composed of ''awag-belIied
Dutch and bog-trotting Irjsh," and
that, therefore, such a law as this is
necessary. These remarks, falling from
the lips of the Radical leaders in the
Legislature, show that this Registry
Law was deliberately drawn and ar
ranged with the view Of DISTINGUISHING
citizens Of foreign birth. 1t strikes at
the rights of all such citizens, of what
ever nationality. 1t aims to disfran-
chise the Wel5hman, the Scotchman
and the Englishman, as well as the
Irishman, the German and the French
man. This being the fuct, the m1deaja6le,
iadisputa6Ie fact, the necessity of max
ing common cause against the party
that enacted this infamous measure, is
forced upon all adopted citizens, with
out distinction of nationality. And
to the native voters Of the State we
say, 1t is your duty, it is our duty, to
wipe out this unjust law, this despi-
cable enactment which discriminates
so harshly against our fellow citizens
by adoption. Let this Radical gag be
broken in pieces!

GRoEssEcK,s GREAT SPEECH.

We give, on our first page, a pretty
full report of the searching aud i'm
pressive argument made before the
High Court of Impeachment, in de-
fence of President Johnson, by his
counsel, Hon. w. :. GrOesbeck, of
Ohio. 1t completely annihiIates the
tiimsy charges brought against the
President in the Articles Of Impeach-
ment. So powerful was the effect of
Mr.. Groe5beck S speech, that the Chief
Justice, and Senators, without distinc-
tion of party, congratulated him upon
his mastery effort. During its deliv-
cry, Senators gathered about him, the
most Radical among them moving
their chairs near the speaker, and eV-
en- Sumner suspending his letter-Wri-
ting to listen to him. We recommend
our Subscribers, after reading the
speech, to hand it to their Radical
neighbors, as it is the only way in
which those people will ever get To see
il. Let your light shine!

DECORATIONs.-The ladies are in
formed that scarfs are to be much worn
with dresses on nearly all occasions,
being fashionable for the street and in
dispensable for complete house toilet.
The prettiest and the most stylish are
the Marie AntOinette. One style OF
these scarfs is in the form Of Il cape at
the back, reaching nearly to the belt,
gradually becoming narrower. 1t
crosses in front, and passing under
the arms, meets at the belt, with long
scarf ends. y pretty scarf of the Marie
Antoinette style begins at the front OF
the waist, is open at the shoulder, and
meets at the back, being joined with
two r0settes. If crossed, only one rO-
sette is worn. This can be made OF
black silk, and trimmed with velvet
and lace, or rufiies of pink silk, and
worn with any other color.
a new style of decoration is the MA

trimmed with fringe is attached TO q

No loss can be more .fatGi to beauty,
especially in the female sex, than the
loss of the hair; glossy, luXuriant hair
is one of the most powerful of all per-
sonal charms. When badness or even
a deficiency of hair exists, we naturally
look for dry and wrinkled skin, fa-
ded complexion; when not actually
seen, we see them in imagination.
Why, then, not cultivate your hair?

have his county newspaper, during the

the same sort. NOW, GO TO WORK

NOT S0EED.

1t is now conceded by the Radical
newspapers that the "Republican"
Senators will not vote in solid column
for the conviction of the President. -
Theyacknowledge that Senator Grimes,
of Iowa, Senator Fowler, of Tennessee,
and Senator Van Winkle, of West
Virginia, Will vote for acquittal. This
breaks the Radical ranks. These Sena-
tors will, of course, be driven out Of
their party, and the result will be a
sufficient reinforcement of the Demo-
cracy i'll their States to carry them
against the Radicals. Grimes and his
friends in Iowa, can give us 1900
votes, which will carry that State, and
Van Wrinkle and Fowler ought easily
to be able to make sufficient diversion
in their respective States, togive them
to the Democracy. Impeachment
will yet be the death of RadicaIism.

TESTS OF CHARACTERIZE great
many admirable actions are SO little
and common. Take, Tor instance, the
mother who has had broken sIumber,
if any at all, with the nursing babe,
whose wants must not be disregarded !;
she would fain sleep awhile when the
breakfast hour comes, but patiently
and uncOmplainingly she takes her
timely seat at the table. Though eX-
hausted and weary, she serves all with
a refreshing cup OF coffee Or tea before
she 81 ps it herself, and often the cup
is handed back to her to be refiiled be-
fore she has had time to taste her own.
DO you hear her cOmplain-this weary
mOther-that her breakfast is cold be-
fore she has time to eat it? And this
not for one, but for every morning,
perhaps, in the year. Do you call this
a small thing? Try ii and see. O!
how does woman shame Us by her for
bearance and fortitude in what are
called little things which are tests of
character; it is by these little" self de-
mails, borne with such seif-fOrgotten
gentleness, that the humblest home is
made beautiful to the eyes of the an
gels, though we fail to see it, alas! un-
til the chair is vacant, and the hand
which kept in motion all this domes-
tic machinery is powerless and cold.
