SPEAKING of Andy's tour among "the
natives" the New York Times (Republi-
can, mind you,) says "the fact is the
Southern people regard the ex-President
as their friend and defender against 'des-
potic Congress- led by Stevens and But
Ter; and they consider that, though he
failed, it was after a tremendous fight for
them, in which he himself sacrificed every
thing. There is no doubt that he will be
back in the Senate before the close Of
President Grants term."-BanneH April
20 1880

THE Radical doctors disagree.
The McMinnville Enterprise says :
Tennessee is one of the recon-
structed States, reconstructed and
readmitted into the Union under
and by virtue Of the reconstruc-
ton laws of Congress" Horace
Greeley says in letter of Aug. 80,
1863: "Shc (TcnneSSee) recon
structcd herself during the war, in
utter independence of Congress"
The facts are with Mr.. Greeley, yet
the Enterprise asserts the contrary,
and perhaps expects its readers to
believe il.

Mark Twain on Orphans.

A few evenings since Mark Twain de-
livered lecture at Cleveland for the
benefit of the orphan asylum of that
city. At the close of his regular lec-
ture Twain said:
Ladies' and Gentlemen:-I am well
aware of the fact that it would be o
most gigantic fraud for you to pay dol
lar each to hear my lecture. But you
pay your dollar to the orphan asylum
and have the lecture thrown in. So if
it is not worth anything it does not cost
you anything. [Laughter.l There is
no expense connected with this lecture.
Everything is done gratuitOusly, and
you have the satisfaction of knowing that
all you have paid goes for the benefit
of the orphans. | understand that there
are to be other entertainments given
week after next for the same object,
the asylum being several thousand dol
lars in debt, and l earnestly recon-
mend you all to attend them, and not
let your benevolence stop with this lee
tnre. There will be eating to be done.
Go there and eat, and eat, and keep on
eating, and pay as you go. [Great
laughter. The proprietOrs of the
skating rink have generously offered to
donate the asylum the proceeds of one
evening, to the amount of one thousand
dollars, and when that evening comes,
90 and skate. do not know whether
you can all skate or not, but 60 and
try. If you break your neck 1T will be
no matter; it will help the orphans,
Don't be afraid of giving too much
to the orphans, for however much you
may give you have the easiest end of
the bargain. Some persons have to
take care of those sixty orphans, and
they have to wash them. Prolonged
laughter Orphans have to be washed!
And it's no small job either, for they
have only one wash tub, and it's slew
business! They can't wash but one
orphan at a time They have to be
washed in the most elaborate detail;
and by the time they get through with
the sixty, the original orphan has to
be washed again. Orphans won't stay
washed Tvo been an orphan myself
for twenty-five years, aud l know this
to DO true" [Great laughter.

Radical BrotherIy Love.

The Senatorial elections Of this win
ter have not increased the amount of
brotherly love as between Senators
from the Same State aRd belonging to
the same political party. don't know
why it is, but there is a cordiality of
hatred and reciprocity of contempt
between the great men of the Radical
party in the Senate, that, If fully
kSown, would astonish most people.
Fessenden hates Sumner, and says in
private conversation he's fool. Sum-
ner hates Fessendcn, and says he's a
wretch. Harlan hates Grimes, and says
he's man of no principle, Grimes
hates Harlan, and says he's swindler.
Wade hates Sherman, and says he's q
political coward. Sherman-well, John
hasn't blood enough in him for either
love or hate. Conness hates Cole (they
are both Radicals from California, re-
member), and calls him all the evil
names he can think of. Cole reciprocates
the favor by giving, as his private opin-
ion of Conness, that he is the biggest
scoundrel unhung. TrumbulI talks of
Yates as drunken fool, and Yates talks
of Trumbull as sober sneak. If what
Williams of Oregon says of Corbett of
Oregon be true, Corbett of Oregon ought
to be in lunatic asylum; and if what
COrbett of Oregon says of Williams OF
Oregon be true, Williams of Oregon
ought to be in the States prison. And,
o! ye gods, listen to Drake talk of his
newly-elected colleague, the humble
Schurz-he of the unfathomable German
mind and the metaphysical German
conference.-the disciple of Kant and
the countryman of Schiller. "a Dutch.
iniiGep-"an unprincipled interloper"-
"a political adventurer" and all the
names with which the Radical tongue
can grace its speech when it gets excit-
ed. have not yet heard the Hon. Carls
opinion of Drake; but if he stops short
of calling him a id fool, he will do
him great injustice.
But even Drake on Schurz is Sweetcn-
cd rOse-water compared with Merton on
Schuyler, the new V. p, or Schuyler on
Morton. They are both from Indiana,
yOu know, and each claims minute
acquaintance with the others record.
Nor is this all. The Republican party
of Indiana seems to be divided into hos
tile armies under the banner of Schuy-
Ter and Morton respectively. The
Schuyler fellows have long been in
dulging the hope that Morton would
die, but he has no notion of it. He is
better to-day than ne has been for four
years, and likely to be entirely we'll
very soon. Meantime the war goes
on. The Schuyler fellows spit nitric
acid all over the Morton faction, and
the Morton faction returns the compl-
ment with strong solution of verbal
vitriol. | presume each to be correct
in what they say of the other, and con
clude from both that the Radicals of
Indiana are Z happy family indeed
The Blues and the Bluffs in Pickwick,
or the Big Endians and the Little En-
dians in Gulliver are the only parallel
in ancient or modern political warfare
for the Mortons and tho Schuylers of
Indiana.
Amen to all of it, and in the language
OF st. Paul, "Let brotherly love con-
tinue." MACK.

The Capital

The Capital question assumed rather
q definite shape in the House yesterday.
After fruitlessly balloting the State
over, that body in Committee of the
Whole, came to close quarters on a
choice between Grafton and Charleston
On The last ballot the former place had
i bare majority of the votes, twenty-six
and tie blank was filled with Grafton
II uOg remains for the House to pass
the Jll in this shape before the question
can bc deemed in fair way for settle
meat. But rs tho passage of the bill
will require Il majority Of the whole
House tweuty-niue votes, and as the
effort will be made to unite all rival
points in opposition, there is every pros
prcl for a lively struggle.

Hum nm Flying.

An account is published of some officer
in the Indian army who has invented
and completed an apparatus which,
when fitted on strong man, enables
him to rise from the earth and fly like
a bird. 1t is stated that the apparatus
is in every respect success. Accord
ing to the account, it consists of two
immense wings made of isinglass, which
are fitted to the arms and are moved
rapidly by two ropes secured to the
heels. The man who wishes to avail
himself of the apparatus and fly, sets
out on a run on level ground, but
before he has gone twenty steps he
finds himself lifted from the earth,
and constantly ascending into the
vapors and shadows of higher
sphere. 1t is only necessary, according
to the formula, that he should keep his
legs moving in beat and time with his
wings. 1t seems that the originator of
this discovery in science, convinced of
the value of his invention, made q wa
ger that he would fly over river, near
the Notifications of his regiment in
Alexandria, supported entirely by his
philosophy aud his wings. His wager
was taken and he made the attempt At
first, as the account says, everything
worked to perfection. The philosopher
ran towards the river bank, and spread
ing his wings scared upward into the
blue empyrean, beating the air in majes-
tic waves by his isinglass vans.
"And every stooP he made
Was like an eagles at flight ofcranes."
And so he floated along, upward and
downward, in easy and graceful infec-
tions. After q while, however, from
some tangling of the ropes or some
.seariuess of the heels, the motion of
the wings came to sudden pause.
There was a sort of collapse in the
wonderful mechanism, and the ambi-
tious hightiyer dropped like shooting
star from his zenith of glory, and fell
upon the rivers bed with broken leg
and broken arm. This accident was
bad for the officer. 1t laid him up in
the hospital, and weakened the faith of
the people in the practical value of his
invention. At last accounts, however,
he was slowly but surely recovering
from his wounds, and consoling himself
N the belief that his misfortune was
owing to some snarl in his working
cords, and not to any fault in his philOs-
ophy.
