which General Williams bears among
the politicians. We should like to see
our Union friends attend these Demo-
cratic meetings, every time-just TO sec
and to hear how hard il is for Democrats
10 address the voters, and to speak the
truth when they do address them-ior
there are zone of US so wise and learned
lint that we may occasionally be II little
instructed and informed when wisdom
rushes forth or, on the contrary, be
more convinced, for the lack OF II,
that our own convictions, our W
acts, aud our own sense oil pro-
prie,y and patriotic motives are bet
ter founded than our political oppo-
pents. The speech OF General Williams,
last night, We certainly consider a sig.
nal failure. Not but what the General
is a pleasant speaker, II ready and n
fluent talkcr-for he has the gitt OF
words most a~bundantly. But 1t lacked
argument, il was barren Of facts, fQr
there is nothing left Of the once-honored
purity Of Democracy to base an arSn-
ment ora debate upon-and hence, II
is an uphill business for any speaker To
attempt at this day to mako what Tor
merly was called a good Democratic
spccch. The bleak and uninviting hills
which frown down upon Virginia city
and Gold Hill, are no moe barreo on
their surface, either in fact or fancy,
than is the " filthy pool" of Democracy
to-day. Hence it is, that, however elo-
quent aud learned II man may be, II Is
hard work to make n good Democratic
spccch to an Intelligent, or even a very
common audience OF hearers. We ielt
sorry for General Williams, last night,
because Of the difficulties he encountered
in making such an address rs we be-
lieye he felt like making TO his Demo
cratic friends in Gold lIill-and, rather
than stoop to vituperation, falSehood,
and downright villiication, las is some
times the ease with public speakers he
preferred to occupy his hour in SIMPLY
ialtiag-and never once abiding to the
Stars aud Stripes and the Constitution
of the Government. His speech was
truly @ sermon on the corpse OF an IN
animate and rery dead Democratic party.
4 FEARFUL DR;SS.-On the occasion
Of the recent celebration Of st. Fat
rick's Day at Virginia, some half q doz'
en- festive sons of the Green Isle dropped
into the well known grocery and pro-
vision store of Feusicr 4 Co., on c
street, in order to get q good drink Of
some of the excellent beverages kept on
draucht there. Johnny, the polite and
attentive clerk, invited them to help
themselves, so they passed along to
where the barrels and kegs are arranged
as n sort of side bar, and AS they had
been there many times before, each
knew which was his favorite faucet;
One Of them, however, considering the
occasion. thought he would have a small
drop of something better than was
placed there for common use. SO he
seized an ale glass and slipped aside to
certain other barrels and quickly drew
from one of them what he thought was
n big drink OF something particularly
choice. Without waiting to be- OBJ
served, he gulped it down, but immc-
diately ran out from behind the barrels
cagging aud splitting at a fearful rate.
- Arrah ! Johnny, Johnny -" shouted
he, s'foes this I've been dhriukin
Till me quick, Johnny" Which
barrel did you draw it from
All T! this one, there, och hone ! but
its q ,earin' me throat, S it is, Oh,
Jasus I till me, what is it?" -" How
much of it did ron drink" "An
didn't drink the full o that glass,
oh ! wirra, wirra, I'm murdered ! I'm
kilt intirely." My dear fellow, says
Johnny, al guess you'll live through it,
but.that's the strongest vinegar we've
got in the store" "Ugh! vinegar, is
il? Dom me il | wasn't afther thinkin'
it war aquy fartis or some other diviis
own drink. All 4! bad luck to mt, buI
this'll set me back = month on me piles.
Diyil take the mule that hauled il over
the mountains. Och hone but why
did | liver come to this country 20 pickle
me bowels wild the cussed vinegar, like
q dom cowcumber, divil a less ?"
GET YouR LIFE lSsURED.-It is an
excellent idea to get your life insured
not but that one is inst about as liable to
get killed or die a. natural death not
w%ithstauding such insurance, yet il
lends dignity to the character and con-
sequence to the person OF any man tC
have it known that his life is considered
worth iusuring. 1t is well, too, to insure
in a company where all policies are non
f~orfeitable and where the profits of the
institution are annually divided among
the fortunate policy holders. Better
thar all, however, 1t i, highly adyan'
tageous to know which is the best OF al
companies to insure in. We refer oul
readers to the advertisement of the Cal
ifornia Lie Insurance Company in an
other column.
