MIR. NAsDY SUGGESTS HAVEN OF REST
| FOR THE DISTRESSED SOULS WHO ARE IN
DANGER OF LOSING THEIR PLACES.
WKsHiNGToN, Nov 1S, 1858.
! We had a meetin in Washing gton last
mite to consider things. There are many
things TO consider jest now, aud it wuz
| deemed proper TO consider EN-. 1t wuz a
lodge Nv sorrow. Their wuz faint glimrins
Nv hope onto the countenances NV a few
NV those present, but nothin Nv certinty
-nothin Nv ashoOrance. Secretary Ran
| dali remarkt that so far ez he wuz con-
cerled he he'd made up his mind. He
shood not take offs under the incomin
administrator. He mite yeeld in other
matters Qor he wus NV yieldin nacher),
but on this he wuZ in1exiblc. McCullOch
and Browning were also determined, but
| Seward had other idees. He chirped in
that the Oldest man couldn't tell what six
| ty days wood bring forth
"Wat shall we do?" askt Postmaster
from Ohio.
II sejest for President Johnson" sed
Randall, r" that he apply for the Spanish
throne. He wood be acceptible to the
! Spanish people, for he heZ all his life been
putin the Bourbon down"
Randall hez no longer any fear Nv the
President.
Gentlemen" remarkt /, al hev an
idea, wich If acted onto will pull us out
NV our sea Nv troubles"
"Speek" exclaimed they all with one
breath, "speekr
"My idea is Cuba, Cuba, the gem NV
| the Antilles-the britest jewel in the
! crown Nv Spain. Let Secretary Seward,
who hez talent for reel estate, buy it
now before the new Government hez its
| fnf aofo iohf
while it Is hard up for money. Let Cuba
be the politikle Botany Bay NV this
country. Let it. be bought by seward
and then let the President go to work To
wunst a film offlsis for its government,
while he still hez the power Nv apiutment.
he must not wait to hev 'em hold eleck-
shins for we alluz succeed better in gettin
ofisis by appintment than by eleckshuns.
Wat Heaven / see open before us i
hev been readin Cuba up, and find that
Island pays the Home Government
$4,000, 600 per annum. If the Spanish
Government kin git $25 900 900 out NV EN-,
we kin double 1t with our experience.
There's enuf for all nv us. Give Randall
a place correspondent with that he now
holds; make Ben Wood superintendent
Nv the Havana Lotteries make Frank p.
suthin else, wat it don't matter, ez he'll
take anything; make goOa phases IOr
Ross, Fullerton, Binkley, Mrs. Cobb, Val
landigham, Brite, Mrs Perry, John Quin-
cy Adams, DR., Frank Peerce, Ginral For
rest, Jim Steedman, Rosso, Doolittle,
COwan, Dixon, Secretary Welles and all
Nv that unnumbered throng NV hungry
soles, who hev lived on pap SO long that
any other diet sours on their stumicks.
And then"

refooses to ratify the purchis by maxim on
