Those ''NIilitary Satraps."
We notice that the Democratic papers most fierce
in their denuncations of military Satraps' are now
working like beavers to effect the nomination for
Governor of one of these same "satraps"-General
Hancock. The Ohio Democrats have also Just nomi-
mated another "satrap" for Governor of that State
in the person Of General ROsecrans. This is all
right but what do the old hunkers of the party think
about it ?-HarrisbuTg Telegraph.
How to Win Adversary.
The British have popular belief that the sure
way of making friends OF an adversary is down his
throat John Bull runs TO dinners as q Chinaman
runs TO pgtails and chopstcks. John believes that
man most generally feels better natured and more
satisfied with the world when his stomach is well
lined with good fat capon and roast beef. Mr. Bull
was not mistaken in his belief In regard to Reverdy
Johnson. He is likely to be successful in the same
way with Minister MOtley.-N. Y. Commercial
The Wrong Bird.
4 jeweller of Milford was returning home
about dusk the other evening with his jeweIry box
ana while passing along the road the report of gun
proceeding from the meadow near by, where couple
OF men were shooting for woodcocks or blind snipes,
frightened him so that he dropped his box OF jewelry
and one OF the sportsmen, an old man who is near
sighted, supposing 1t to be one Of the Birds poured
the contents of the gun into 1t. The other hunter
supposng the bird to only be wounded, gave it the
contents OF ms gum ana before the Watchsmlth
could explain, the box was completely ridded, and
himself narrowly escaped being shot.-Mittord Mutual
