MORE RADICAL LEaIsLATIoH USDoSR'

In March 1868 the loyal legislature oil
Missouri enacted a statute, requiring an
oath of loyalty Of curators OF st. Charles
College in that state. In December of the
same year, three curators who were in office
having failed to take this oath, the lsgisla.
ture declared by an amendatory enactment
that the offices Of these three curators were
vacant, and proceeded to elect their success.

AFRO, when the Attorney of the Nineteenth
judicial Circuit fled, in the St. Charles Cir,
cult Court, an information in the nature Of a
quo ,oarr0nto, on the relation OF the ousted
curators, and asserting that the relators we're
entitled TO the same.
The Circuit Court gave judgement 10 favor
Of the defendants, and the District Court at
frmed it. The case was appealed to the
Supreme Court, and that court now reverses
the judgement of the Court below, and de-
cides that the. REALTORS, who were curators
on the ! lth Of December, 1868, could not be
ousted by a legislative enactment; they could
only be removed by judicial process, involV'

JOSH RtLLINas ks A f.RcTuhEK.

AS most people know, Josh Billings
name when he is at home, is Shaw,-not o
but Henry L. He has been to Boston, and
succeeded in breaking the smoothe, pale, set
faces of the hub into an occasional smile.
The 4ds9tiser has the following to say Of
him as q lucturer, which is the most sub
stantial compliment we have seen paid him;
Mr.. Shaw's method Of leoturing is worth lit
tie STUDY for no man not endowed with actual
genius can acquire the art Of amusing an audi
enoe with scraps for solid hour without first
making very good speaker Of himself--"gOod,"
we mean, according to the tests Of fitness ard
success Our Josh Billings is thoroughly alive
to the fact that audiences, Of very respecta-
bic people, are in their collective capacity dull
or rather, perhaps, slow in seeing the point of
anything, and especially in seeing the point of a
joke, unless it happens to lie in tho border land
Of dubious propriety. His listeners must be
treated like gudgeon, or other sorts of slow biting
fish; they will not spring at his bait as trout leap
at a fly, but they must have time given to hook
themselves fairly All this Mr.. Shaw under
stands perfectly, Ho speaks very slowly and
distinctly, and never hurrics or oonfuses his
speech till after the point of his joke has pcne-
trated the consciousness of his hearers He has
an ingenious way, too, Of dividing by his speech
the substance of funny sentence. Its first half
is rather droll, calls up smiles on the faces OF
many aud excites some sporadic laughter from
the very impressionable little pause ensues,
and the audience suppose for an instant that he
has made his period but directly the roal snap
per OF tbs sentence comes, for which its first part
was but the preparation, and faces which have
been coaxed to smile are betrayed into hearty
laughter, for which surprise is to considerable
degree responsible.

RXEAT GREELEY.

The defeat of the amiabIs Horace Greeley
for Comptroller of New York, will probably
lay him up for lfe--in the official way. He
will carry with him to his shelf Of retirement
many bitter resentments against his own
party, many Of whom have not only stood
by and held the clothes Of Democrats while
they stoned this Stephen of the Republican
party, but they have cast stones themselves
at the devoted martyr. The truth is Gree.
ley is too honest for his party; there is not
chicanery enough in his nature. One of the
peculisrities of his defeat is that his best
acts contributed most to his discontinue.
II is said that in derison Of the kind hearted
old soul, many Republicans in the rural
districts scratched him and voted for jeff.
