The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1870-01-27

II i vel known that there has been
collected ii Washington from different
states iii the Union, d Museum for the
inspection, and to the amazement, of the
civilized world; and, that MI the great
and little potentates and powers, have
sent delegations to 1.-THE city of magnif-
cent Distance for the purpose Of inter
viewing, inspecting, and reporting upon
these curiosities-
To this collection Illinois has furnished
the greatest living wonder Of the age,
specifies man, and living smoke stack
So great curiosity is he, white house
has been provided for his sole use-and
the enormous amount of twenty-five thou
sand dollars is appropriated annually for
his support. Ohio has furnished-and
Ohio is a liberal State-Bingham the
executioner of the innocent but unfortu-
nate Mrs, Surratt.
New York has contributed a very little
Fish, who is noted only for the very large
vacuum which it has In its little head.
Pennsylvania, at great expense, made
a formal presentation of the famous Nor
thern light Borie-ass, bul his health failed
under the constant labor which attended
his exhibition, and he was returned to the
State from whence he came.
1t would be an endless task to name all
of the little and big bugs that compose
this collection, SO we will only describe
two more that are already there, which
were furnished by Massachusetts, and are
supposed to be descended from
the Pilgrim Fathers who came
over the wide waters in the
Mayhower. The least one of these, it is
believed, was taken from one of the
many over crowded Magdalen Asylums,
with which the old Bay State is over spot
ted like leopard. She is considered in
sane from the fact that ever and anon
she creams out at the top of her voice,
that the Southern States care in the
grasp of war;" though it is recorded in
history that the last rebel laid down his
arms in May, 1865, it is generally sup
posed that one Other paying lovers was
killed during the rebellion, and the old
creature has never recovered from the
shock it occasioned. But the principal of
Massachusetts contribution and the one in
whom her people take the most pride and
point to as their greatest treasure, is the
world renowned Beast Butler, the human
hyena, who, when let loose upon the de-
fenseless women and children of New Or
leans, committed all kind of outrages, not
even 'sparing the dead, but ruthlessly
clawed their bodies from their graves to
CRAFTY his most unatural and insasitable
appetite 1t is related of this wonderful
Beast that nothing will appease him
when in rage but the touch Of coin or
silver spoons.
Day before yesterday and to-day, Mis-
sissippi furnished her quota to this collec-
ton. Day before yesterday she gave a
l;ttle-bullet headed man whose heart is as
cold as the CLAIMS upon which he was
raised, and his head as empty as his car
pet-bag. He will be expected to sit in
the United States Senate with as much
dignity as do the bumps on the white pine
trees that grow away down in his native
Maine. To-day lusus nature, which
heretofore was not known to be in exist
ence, has been found, and presented by
the Legislature, viz: a light-colored, red
haired, and red bearded negroi
The Honorable Senator Revels will be
a worthy and fit colleague Of Gen. Ames.
The jackson Clique and theirchampion
''the Clarion" are catching ginger" from
many of our State papers. Well, be easy on
them gentlemen, tor we should have sympa-
thy upon these poor old men who acted, as
they thought, for the best.

The jackson Clique" (so-called) needs
no champion in the CLARION, nor do they
asked to be champiOned or patronized by
any other journal or set of journals
With the consciousness of having done
their duty, by giving their talents, their
time, their energies, and their means, to
save Mississippi from the embraces of
Radicalism they can afford to be amused
at the articles that have appeared in a few
(andthey are but few would-be witty and
spicy papers.
These "old men" know enough of the
the world to expect such petty jealousies
to display themselves when such an OPP
portunity is offered, and they are not sur
prised that these young gentlemen whom
they are keeping in the back ground are
not in love with them.
Be quite young gentlemen, bide your
time with patience, remembering that the
the corn is not gathered until it has
ripened, nor the lumber used while the sap
remains, nor yet fruit eaten while it is
green. In the course of time the corn
hardens, the sap is dried out of the lum-
Der, and the fruit reaches maturity. So
nature has provided in all things pertain
ing to this life, and the politicians of Mis-
sissippi being human, are no exception to
the rule.
