A traveller tout west gives the follow
ing as his experience OF neatness which is
rather good:
We always did like neat people. We
always cherish kind of tender feeling for
all neat women. But we never was really
struck with one until last week, and the
way of it was this We were out west a
few miles and got belated looked for a
place to stop over night, found q cabin,
asked if We could be accommodated, ard q
tall woman with freckled face, red hair,
buffalo skin moccasins, buckskin dress and
baby, said she "reckone1 We mout."
We got off our horse, hitched him to .
cottonwood corn-crib, and went in. We
asked for supper. We got some bacon,
molasses, broiled pumpkins and corn dodg-
ers. We ate heartily.
After meal was passed, tn, woman said
to the Oldest girl
Now, Dody Jane, you have jist got to
keep that old slut and them ere pups from

came off from them pesky dogs, and if they
sleep in it a week longer, it won't be fit to

We were in love with that woman on &C.
count Of her neatness. And that evening
we laid down on the rough hewn floor aud
had pleasant dreams. Ghostly feas were
hopping about through our corporal diver
stiles, and spectre sluts with goblin pups
danced before Us in boxes of unearthly
meal, during the liveloDg night and our
great grandfather sat straddle of US for six
hours, and with ramrod to six pound
cannon stuffed cords Of that neatly pre-
pared corn-dodger down our unwilling
throat, and whistled all the time for the
dogs, while the baby and it's tidy mother

Address of the Soldiers aud Sailors.
The following is the address to the Ma

otie and Union loving soldiers and sailors
who assembled in New York on the Sd:
Mr.. President, and Gentleman OF the
Convention We are instructed by tie
unanimous vote of the convention of Union
soldiers and sailors now in session at Coop
er Institute to return to you our thanks
for extending to us the privileges on the
floor of your convention. The objects for
which we are assembled are clearly set
forth in the address of our presiding officer.
Our convention is composed Of two thousand
delegates, elected to represent every state
and territory in the Union, who have
served in the Union army or navy, anu
aud every one of whom believe that &C.

alive party of the country, he is still eu>
gagged in the same cause for which he
risked his life during the war, viz +: to pre-
serve the Union aud maintain the u
premacy of the Constitution. We btlege
that the crimes now being perpetrated
in the name of Republication and loyalty
are not less alarming than were thcss CON-
mitted by the armed foes of the Government
during the war. The party now in power
has destroyed the equality Of the states,
has forced the Southern States to submit
to have their constitutions and laws framed
