UP North.

Marcus Tourtellote, of Springfield,
Mass, having taken umbrage at the noise
made by the pious negroes of Springfield,
who assembled for worship, bought the
land on both sides of their Westinghouse
and then tried to buy the church property.
As the price asked was more than he was
willing to pay, he built solid board
fence on each side of the house up to the
caves, thus closing the windows and max
ing the house too dark for use as we'll as
sufocatingly hot. Not satisfied with this,
he painted the fences black on the sides to-
ward the church.

The Whole Party.

We have heard the following good joke
related of member Of the Pendleton
Club, of Cincinnati, at the New York Con-
vention. 1t appears that he could not 60
with the club when it started, but follow
ed it a day or two afterwards. Reaching
the city in the night, and preferring to go
to hotel rather than hunt up the head
quarters that late hour, he made his way
to an uptown hotel. Of course, it was
crowded. But what seemed wonder,
there was one room unoccupied. To that
the tired Cincinnatian was assigned, and
was soon marshaled away thither by a bell
boy. He was not little dismayed to
find the room to be about eight by ten
feet, with small window fronting on an
unfathomable alley, its depths made vocal
by battalion of tom-cats, and red0lent
with unnumbered smells. He at once OBJ
iected to such quarters, and dispatched the
bell-boy after the clerk, who soon made
his appearance.
"See here" said the Cincinnatian, edo
you expect me to stay in this place all
night %
The clerk assured him that in conse-
quence of the crowded condition of the ho-
tel, no better accommodation could be af-
forded him, although it would be a great
pleasure on his part to give him the best
room in the house. "And," added the
clerk by way of clinching argument,
General Grant slept in this room once
when he visited the city"
The gentleman from Porkopolis said he
didn't care a continental as to that, but if
General Grant could stand it, he supposed
he could.
The clerk retired to the office, compli-
menting himself upon his strategy. The
guest retired to bed, and in Eve minutes
was attacked by countless hosts Of bed
bugs. Finding it impossible to contend
against such overwhelming numbers, he
hastily attired himself and sought the Of
fee. "Why," said the astonished clerk,
81 thought you were satisfied to stay in
the room all night" "Now, look here p
said the Cincinnatian, "I've got pluck
enough to sleep where General Grant has
slept, but I'll be eternally cussed if l can
make up my mind to sleep with the whole
Radical party."-Cincinnati Enquirer,

We publish, to-day, says the National
intelhgencor, 4 very interesting report Of
the peace movement inaugurated in Ten
neSsee by those who had been prominent
and popular General officers in the Confed-
dcratc army. 1t is full of significance and
Of Importance to the people of the whole
country.
Prompted by personal fears, prejudice
and passion; trembling with conscious
ness Of guilt and wrong towards their fell
low men, and melted by the Internal mad
ness of Brownlow, the spurious Legisla-
ture of Tennessee was about to precipitate
Il bloody civil war upon the State. At
the rate they were going, under Brown
lows dictation and advice, state of actual
war was rapidly becoming inevitable
Brownlow's Legislature we're, by their
course, inviting this condition of affairs, as
a preteXt for invoking the military aid of
the Federal government to aid them in
their demon work of death, destruction
and revenge upon the Democrats who re-
fused to kneel at the footstool of Brown
lowsm.
At this iuncture, Generals Cheatham,
Nancy and Johnson called meeting Of
other Confederate Generals, and sought
an interview with committee of the Leg
islature. The argument of these Generals
is unanswerable. The legislative commit
teee was compelled to admit this, aud to
their foresight, prudence and calmness the
country will be indebted for the avoidance
of state of affairs in Tennessee which
would probably, within month, have
lighted the fires Of civil war througout the
whole Union.

BURIAL OF A CARpET-BAGaER.

Not drum was heard, not funeral note,
AS his corpse to Oblivion we hurried
Not grOan escaped II gcntleman's throat
When the carpet-bagser was buried.
We buried him deep in dirty soil
80 deep that they will ne'er uncover him,
Until some Radical boring for oil
BY the dearly-loyed scent shall discover him
His coffin was made of n ballot.box;
With white mems votes we bound him;
And he looked like Il baboon taking his rest,
With llunuicutt's paper around him.
Few and short were the speeches We made,
And we sung not doleiUl ditty;
But his body and spirit tosctherwe lad,
just out of the White Mans City.
And MS we were hastily trumpiug back,
Twas said il the devil don't take him,
He'll quietly sleep in that grave so deep,
ill the Trumpet Of Gabriel shall wake him.

after the arrest telegram was received
from the girls father, stating that she and
the negro had left Union Point the night
before, and asking that they be stopped.

that We refrain from giving her name,

closed the fact to her parents and run off

Very Slow.

Pickering is very nervous little man,
who fuses and tidgetS about in Il remark
ably quick manner, and who holds in de-
testation anything that can possibly come
under the head of slow coach, and indul-
ges in rather queer expressions when any
thing moves too slow for his views. He
is blessed with "a maid of all work." who
has caused him to utter more prOfane
words during the past three months than
three years in Purgatory can atone for.
One evening last week ne dispatched the
girl upon an errand to neighbOring store
and according to his ideas she remained
an unaccountably long time. He pulled
out his watch and looked at it half dozen
times within ten minutes, whistled, drum
med upon the table with his fingers, beat
time with his feet upon the floor, and
finally started up and began pacing the
room, rs ii his nervous agitation aud I'M
patience could in any degree accelerate
the movements of the absent one. But
the girl came back at length, and her i'm
patient master broke out with:
"fOr goodness sake, Maggie, Wherc nave
you been!"
"To the store, SIR" was Maggie's reply.
"Well," said her master, sit is about
one hundred yards to the store, and you

turning"

Snow, Maggie" continued he, stake my
advice, and when you die remain quietly
in your grave and never make an attempt
to get to heaven"
"Why not, sir :" qucried the bewilder-
ed girl.
"Because," said Pickering, "the sun is
nmety-Six millions Of miles from the
earth, and heaven is beyond that, and if
you ever make an attempt to get there, at
the rate you move, eternity will be at an
end before you reach your destination"

He is bold genius that rises above the
dusty and tortuous paths of the common
sneak. He mounts upon strong pinions
high up in the atmosphere of never-ending
and uncontaminated falsehood, and basks
in his native element. He is a thorough
bred; no trace Of truth contaminatas his
veins or stains his memory. He seeks to
perfect the false By eliminating all the
true He is the immaculate and protean

An English jury recently found tai
lor guilty of a petty theft, and he was SEN
fenced to three months imprisonment,
with hard labor. 1t has since TRANSFERRED
that so far from finding the prisoner guilty
the jury were unanimous in the belief that
he was innocent, and the foreman was
charged with the delivery of verdict ac-
coFdingly, but that when he stood up to
reply to the formal questions of the clerk
Of the court, the unfortunate man lost his
presence Of mind and delivered verdict
Of guilty, and the prisoner was consigned

were too frightened to interfere.
