WANTED, A STATe.Room,

WANTED, A STATE.RO0M.
Although the 'sfush times" have pas
sed away on the Mississippi, they still
have some queer and sometimes rough
customers on the river boats. On a
recent trip of the "Highfyer," crowded
with passengers, the clerk had allotted
the last state-room and was about to
close his office, when he was astonished
by the apparition Of a tall Missourian,
who exclaimed: ~ say, stranger, I
want one of them chambers"
"Sorry, sir" said the official, blandly
sbut our state-rooms are all taken!
"The ID they are" responded
Missouri ave paid my fare EN- want
wun of them chambers"
"Allow me to see your ticket" said
the still polite clerk.
Putting his hand to the back of his
neck, the passenger pulled out ten inch
bowie-knife, and driving it quivering
into the counter, said: I'm from Pike
county, young Teller, and thar's my tick

Befoee the steel had ceased to vibrate
the prompt clerk quietly thrust loaded
and capped six shooter under Pixies
nose and cody answered: Give only

The Missourian edged out of"range,"
and putting up his ''tooth-pick," ejacul-
ated: "a full hands good, by ~!

Wendell Philips, in late issue of the
Anti- Slare,y Standard, ierceiy denounces
the Administration for not declaring mar
tial law in the South, where, he says. as
sassination for opinion is as frequent as
ever. He quotes from General Grants re-
port at 1867 in which martial law is rec
commended as the best remedy for the-cure
of rebel outbreaks, and closes with the
following characteristic paragraph:
Is il King Log with a paper sceptre
that sits in the White House? We were
told that if we made q soldier President
we should have strong Government, full
of decision, one that could not be bullied
For all we have seen in four months, we
might as well have had, in the White
House, clumsy James, of England, who
always tainted at the sight of a sword
Gloomy prophets feared that under Grant
we should have coup d'etat and that he
would take possession of the Government.
Thus far it seems more likely that Beau.
regard will make coup detat and take
possession Of Grant.

WENDELL PHILLIPs ON GRANT.-What
have we for president? A jockey and
sea side lounger; a restless boy, needing
constantly to be amused; and SO impa-
! tient of business that he cannot stay at his
post more than week at time. Five
months in Office, he has not yet given us
an administration.
But, posting copying clerk here and
there, to keep the machine in motion, he
hurries off to idle week at watering
place, act Dummy at monster show, or
Helpless at steamboat excursion.
The presidency must indeed he sine
cure if, in such an hour as this, man,
bred in camp and lanyard, can pro-
perly discharge its duties, three hundred
miles from the capital, in the intervals Of
the race 'course and the half hours left
after theatres and concerts. \

A pleasant story, which does credit in
a small way to wemsn's honesty, has come
to light. In 1856 Southern lady spending
the summer at the North, became interested
in a poor seamstress. Sewing machines
were not as attainable as they are now
and the lady bought one for her protege
telling her that she might pay for it in
time If she chose. Nothing was heard
from her till the war, when the benefctress
came north, in the condition of many
refugees almost penniless. To her surprise
she found the money for the sewing ma
chine in the hands of friend waiting fol-
her, and it formed grateful addition Ia
her funds. Trust in the poor is not always
basely rewarded.

reach the depot in time to receive the ami

House stables. and telegraphed the Presi-
dent that all was correct
The country will be agreed in the opin-
ion that taking care Of Grants horses, is
rather small business for a Cabinet Minis
ter, and an Ex-Governor of the great State
Of Ohio.

There is hog in Los Angeles county,

inches high, and as thick through as an

it is estimated to weigh 1850 pounds. "

DESTRUCTIVE CONFEDERATION IN SwE-
DEN-S,00O PEoPLE HousELEss.-An ap-
pailiug disaster has fallen upon the usu.
ally busy and thriving town of Geae, in
Sweden. On Saturday, July 10, fire
broke out in carpenters shop in the CEN
ire of the town, and strong gale from
the west blowing at the time, the fire
spread rapidly, and in few hours the
whole of that part of the town which is
situated on the north side of the river was
burnt down; 700 houses and tenements
were destroyed, and 5000 houseless per-
sons, out Of a population Of ID 600, hav>
ing lost almost everything they possessed,
are now camping in the open air. The
loss is estimated at above ESQ., 900, and
many of the working classes are, ss is
usually the case, uninsured. Committees
for assisting the sufferers had been imme-
diately formed in Sweden, and all having
business connections with Gefe, or other
wise taking an interest in Sweden, had
been invited to come forward with their
aid toward the same object.
