In his day, DR.. Sam. Johnson was in
the habit of saying:
''Patriotism is the last refuge of scoun-
drel." In our day, it is loyalty. The
Bible says, CHARITY covers multitude
of sins" According to tho creed of rad
icalism, so does being "loil."
Vallandigham. of Ohio-his idea of
''loyal man" is upholding the flag of his
country with one hand and loyalty steal-
ing with The other.
The colorod troops all over the State
are full of martial fire. The militia
like the measles-must pass through
them, and we don't object, but it might

Paris is q groat city, but doth not al

receiving his "haptism of fire." upon
which occasion the Soldiers wept ct his
tranquility" it is conjectured that he
took cold and has been returned to the
maternal care.
King William announces great battle,
and adds: "I hasten to the scene of con-

hasten to put myself in the centre of the
position" he did nots then and therefore,
forthwith restore the military equili-

It has been said, "bessed is the man
that twentieth sleep" We think, thrice
blessed he who did event morphine.
It has been we'll said, that there is no
leveller like great city. It abatcs and
and dissolves pompous people, who ina

1t is now definitely settlad-the New
York Tribune to the contrary-that when
Gen. Grant passed James Fisk, Jr., the
latter gentleman did not "make O face
with his fingers" at Gen. Grant. Mr..
Fisk was wrongfully charged with the
"gyrutory rhinodactylic gesture" This
