Hon. "CoLoRED" MENARD.-This gen.
tleman was elected to Congress from New
Orleans. His radical white brothers
referred his claim to the consideration of a
Committee. lie was not treated with
common courtesy by his radical peers. He
was not asked to ''dine out" either by
Grant or Colfax. Mr.. Menard is not good
natured. Gov. Yarmouth gave him no
certificate of election: he had the votes,
but his color didn't suit the Equality"
politician who makes up the Executive of
Louisiana. The Congressman elect says
Of Yarmouth:
"IIe is at the head of the most corrupt
ring. in the country, composed of two
thirds of insincere and unprincipled car.
pet. baggers; the carpet 5aggers from
Louisiana and in Congress, he says, edge
away the moment they see me in their
neighborhood. lie resolved FEVER to 20
in upon the floor agsin until he went to
take possession Of his seat. To reporter
he said, l walked in on the floor feeling
that l had right to DO so, and good
deal better right than these carpet-baggers,
Newsham and Sypher, from Louisiana,
elected by colored votes in the places Of
better men. know these carpet baggers
so well. and know how ready they were
to shake hands with me, and poorer color
cd men, when they were down in Louisia-
m, looking for Office"

JErr. DAVIS AND THE INDIANs.-Speak.
ing Of the p ssage Of bill transferring
the Indians to the war department, the
National Lntelligencer says:
"Whether the bill passed by the house
yesterday by such large vote is wise or
not, time will show. If passed by the
senate, it will be read with grim salts
faction by a tall, military looking gentle
man now beyond the seas. The person
we refer to is Mr.. Jefferson Davis; he who
figured not long since conspicuously at
Richmond, Montgomery, and other places.
The plan of transferring the Indians to
the war department, taking the whole
matter from civilians and giving it to the
army, originated with Mr.. Davis, and was
always one of his pet projects, on which
he most earnestly insisted. This tribute
to his Judgment, however tardy, will
hardly tail to be appreciated, and the fact
that it comes from those not over ard
above friendly to him, makes it all the
more a graceful and handsome proceeding.

Miss Janders is very i'll again. She has
such "dre'fful palms, First they take
her in the head, then the foot, then the
stomach, then the back, then in the side,
then in the tooth, then in all the places
named and dozen others at the same
time. The fact is Miss Janders is i'll only
in imagination. She weighs one hundred
and seventy-five, and is plump as part
ridge. Are partridges always plump p
She is fussy and fanciful. The trouble
with her is she has got too much of money
and nothing to do. So she regularly does
her feelings up into a sort of phrensy,
and thinks she is the most afflicted Of wo-
men. Two hours in the open air daily
and an income Of 5000 year, would make
her as happy as kitten and as light as a
feather.

selves with the reflection that the fruit
will soon become plentiful and cheap.
The battle ground Of Srottsylvania is

Pat has long labored under the imputa-
ton of making more accidents, with his
tongue than any of his fellow-mortals ;
but it can be very easily shown that the
"bulr' is not necessarily indigenous to
Irish soil.
A Frenchman named Gallon, who died
in Paris not many years ago, was remark
able for bovine tendency. There is a
letter of his in existence as follows =
''My dear friend-I left my knife at your

you find it. Yours, Gallon. P. s.

sent home with a basket Of provisions,
the postscript of which read :-"Y6u will
find my letter ut the bottem Of. the basket;
if you should fail to do so, let me know
it as soon as possible" q.s
It is said of the same character, that,on
one occasion he took lighted taper to
find his way down stairs, and, after ret
ting down, brought it back with thanks,
leaving himself at the top of the stairs in
the dark, as at first.
