new, the gunpowder plot, the Covenan-
ters,' the Pilgrims, the Knickerbockers
and the stamp act, as they were only pre-
liminary exercises to the grandest enter
tainment that ever took place since Alex
ander's feast--the Boston tea party.
That event, which eclipses all other
events as Boston eclipses all other
places, brought out in undimmed luster
the flattering notion that there are harp
| lists in the world who can play on
more strings than David ever attempted
to play on, and that cuckoo can be
made to jump out of Connecticut clock
and sing every hour, to the great aston
ishment of people who live in coal mines
or the more salubrious atmosphere of the
backwoods; it has filed many heroes
with the exalted notion that the perform
ance of Samson in pulling down the
temple of the Philistines was small pota-
toes Ito use a common phrase) in COM
parison to the play of Jonathan in pulling
down pile of colonies, and, instead of
Offering to pay the owner for damages,
turning the groundwork Of the fabric
into a number Of fine States, binding
them together by the cement of fraternal
feeling, which he thought would last for
ever, but unfortunately, in spite of his
faith, occasionally cracks and requires
repairing; and it has given some the
laudable notion that Solomon was not
the wise man that philosophers are in
the habit of calling him, for the simple
reason that he wasted years in sending
expeditions to Ophir and Ind for silver
and gold, when it is on record Yankee
made a million dollars in two hours by a
cotton expedition to the Mississippi bot
tom
Having briefly mentioned a few of the
noble notions which have swayed the
great men of the world in black and
brown ages, it will next be our duty to
present the Bluff Sages and their sayings
and doings during period which not
only tried mems soles but their pockets.
In doing so we shall lay aside all need
less dignity, and endeavor to become as
Jolly as the dignitaries of our cares and
criticism will permit. We shall take the
liberty of borrowing notion from Man.
deville and mixing the sentiments of the
days of gray and blue mist as an old
topper would mix tumbler of punch.
Avarice shall be our souring and prod
igality our sweetening; the water we
shall call the credulity of the floating
crowd; the brandy representing the sub
lime qualities of the great men who, by
he art of lodging, are separated from
he dregs of society and exalted and re-
ined into that grand spiritual
essence called the fire of glory.
We doubt not but an Alaskan,
lnacquainted swith this peculiar
were he to taste the
everal ingredients apart, would pro-
lounee them unfit to make a palatablc
punch. The lemon mo matter how care

ugar (even if boiled down to soothing
yrup) too luscious, the brandy (manu-
actured out of Robinson county whisky

the States Massachusetts being oonspicu-

such payments must be in coin or It's equiv
