ping along IN boots, h-eeches, to'- a"H
cap, the observed OF I'll observers She
is sure to create O sensation. We saw
one day or two since going up the Az
enue followed by crowd of boot-eiac
aud news-boys As her eesss did not
look very clan. the backs thought her
fair game, and the cry, black your boots
Mr, Miss, Madam, Sir" for the boys seem-
ed puzzled whas to call her), coming
from twenty throats at cnee, made ne li''ie
noise Shs turned round suddenly JUST
as We got near her Go our great alarm
her face blazing With PASSION and ad-
dressed her crowd Of admirers in very
pea. little speech, which must have been
very much to the point, for We never saw
a crowd Of boys disappear as fast IN our
life. We heard one little niger ask an
other a. they we're moving Of, Boy
what de matter wid dat ar voman-she's
aictcd." The female then made for
peanut stand, bought pint to refresh
hersclf and when We last saw her she was
moving UP the street making the peanut
peels fl right and LIFT.
Most Of he strangers now here arc en-
gagged in sight seeing. The Medical Mu-
scum seems te have more attractions tor
them-than most other places. There IS
not day, but s2me party on tue sight
hunt will ask you, Mister, kin you show
me the place where President Ltnh'n was
killed ?" l. must be no slight disap-
Monument to those who have taste Tor
the horrible to find that there is not
trace to be found in the building OF the
ASSASSINATION of the late President. The
building has been so much altered that
it would be next to impossible to point
out the position of the box where he sat
when he was shot Many, no doubt 60
there expecting to see the blood and brains
Of the President on the floor with wax rs :
urcs of Lincoln in the very chair he was
killed in and Booth standing behind, PTS
tol in hand, firing the fatal shot.
Grant, UP to date, is as silent as the
grave, or, what is worse, has spoken P
no purpose, and that very fact keeps the
ofice-scekers, both democrat and Radical
very much like people with the Itch, turn
ing andtwis.ing in every possible position to
get relief, but turn as they may the Itch
iny goes on and the scratching must be
kept up Il is really fun to see the one
party all expectation and the other III i
state of misery no words can express
There was report the other day that
Grant intended 10 FIJI every office with
soldier without regard to politics. 1t you
could have heard them damnlng the sol
aiers. AS my ancle Toby said, Il
could not have had the heart to slrse
poor dog So" They found some consola-
ton after while in the fact that soldiers
were beastly, ignorant. fellows, some with
enc leg and orc arm, and ssme with Meth
er. md of course they could not ill 9TH
ss. We do not think TIE fun has even
vet got start just wait msnth or SO
and if YOU do not ind terrible treshet
coming down the Potomac, caused BY the
flow of tears shed in this city, call US no
prophet.
Murdoch again begins tonight his old
trade of making an ass Of himself The
old eump, whose laugh is moro like an
ass than anything else, had better be at
home saying his prayers and reading his
Bible, than limping over the country
reading buncome and bad poetry IN which
there is not one word of truth for the sake
of pleasing set Of asses Ike himself ana
a few of half crazy women with hail a
dozen of husbands somewhere round the
country.
