POOR PAP SUCKER.

Our poor, hungry ueghbor, the Stripes,
wlicb has been banging on to the public teal
like young opossum TO its motbers false
belly, for the past six years, is desperately
worried about the bill for the protection Of
litigants. 1t got swindling contract for
the public printing when the highest
bidder few weeks ago, but this does
not satisfy it, 1t has a cultivated ap-
petite for "pap," and the more "pap' it gets
the greater and more savage it's cravings for
"pap" grows. If there is such thing
as "pap-tapeworm' then the Stripes
has got it, and il that tspeworm should
come out, as it is likely to when the "pap"
runs out, and necessity forces it TO come be-
fore the world, we will bet that it ic not less
than a thousand yards long and as lauk as
a gauzs ribbon. We have heard OF mems
sous being caught by laying picsyuue at
their mouths wheo asleep, and grabbing
them when they come after the coin, and
We don't know but "pap" might extract
"pap-tapeworms" iu the Same way. The
Stripes party wanted all the pap so bad
short time back, that it tore down oppo-
sition presses, closed the mail and express
Offices against Democratic papers. This was
to!make business for "pap"-loving mopgrel
sheets. Again the "pap" loving mongrel
lawyers wanted more business, and they
fixed oaths that Democratic lawyers would
not take; this was to help impecunious
mougrel lawyers. Again the party bad
pap" loving school marms, SO they fixed
up oaths that Democratic ladies would not
take and this was for the bene6. Of their
"pap'>loving John Brown singers. In Au-
burn, we. believe, they swore a man who
kept private school. This reminds us
that there must be pap tapsworu'' en-
scoused in many mongre pap loving maws,
that must be growing thin and ravenous. We
don't know Of but one man in the mougre
party that can whistle again.t the wind,
and we advise our neigbbor TO employ him.
1t WON'T do any good, but the fellow hain't
got any more sense than 10 try it, so get
him. We don't know much about the lligant
bill. 1t knocks the price down below what
the Strips has been charging, aud for tba.
reason would probably not satisfy its crav
ing appetite. We are willing to do almost
anything for our nsighbor. but will not try
to feed "papLapeworms" or whistle agaus.

SENsArIoNAL.-Tbe New York World
has struck lead and for once got ahead Of
Beunstt's Herald. We have read Dumas'
novel "Tbs Iron Mask" and this Paris let
ter to the World is very similar. We give
below the telegraph version Of the letter:
"Thc World has an extraordinary sensation
in its Paris letter. dated February 2lst, and pub

French salons. the Emperor Napoleon died on
9th of September last under the knife of Sur

monarch is the Prince Imperial a, Napoleon w.,

he is supposed to have appeared in public. The
correspondent says the plan originated with the
late Emperor, who fearel European complica.

promise from England, and it is believed from
Russia, that they would aid il maintaining the
Prince on the throne, The letter gives various
reasons for credting the story 1t says it ex-
plains the recent remarkable change in policy
on the part of the French Government. Never
theless, it appears very like canard.
