PRINCELY PAY.--An eastern exchange says
that Lieutenant Fred Grant, who has started
on Government vessel, in company with Gen.
Sherman, to make the tour OF Europe, draws
from the United States treasury thirty dollars
per day mileage" This, with his pay as a
Second Lieutenant in the Army, will give him
monthly allowance of about twelve hundred
dollars; and taking into consideration the fact
that the Government pays all bis expenses
while he is on this little pleasure excursion.
Mr.. Fred Grant, the heir apparent" has,
through the kindness and solicitude of bis pa
ternal relative, dropped into fat "posish. !"
The economy of the Administration is truly
wonderful, and ID worthy of all the laudatory
resolutions adopted by Radical conventions
which are controlled by Grants ofice-holders
and pap-suckers. Who wouldn't be prince

WRoSG.-The Statesman says, in reference
to our course on the Mormon persecution
question, that we invariably take the wrong
" chute" Whenever the Statesman says we
are wrong we feel complimented, as we then
have some assurance that we are right. The
Sacramento Union and Record, Chicago ni-
buae. and about seven.tenths of the leading
Radical papers in the United States view the
Mormon question in the same light that we do,
to say nothing of the whole Democratic press.
The Boise Statesman dissents, as it always
does, from any position taken by the WORLD,

BEECHER ON REFORM.

BEECHER ON REFORM
/ Henry Ward Beecher recently delivered
one of his political sermons, in Plymouth
Church, before an immense audiences, and hi
is certainly entitled to some little credit, if any
is due to political parson, for telling some
plain truths to the people who listened to him
The scales have fallen from his eyes aud his
loyalty no longer blinds him to the wholesale
corruption which exists in every department
of the General Government. He urged q
union of the good men of all parties in great
reform movement. and said:
sour offices must no longer be scrambled for, bu
must be given to good men. Our civil service Is
standing threat against liberties. and II the sys
tenn is much longer supported our government can
not maintain itself"
"The Administration must reform the civil service
Every custom house is now bribery shop ana near
ly all the other offices are damning and deadening &c
the national conscience.
Beecheris one of the great and shining lights
of the Radical party and the man who, in 1856
believed in arlning all Free-soilers who emf
grated to Kansas with Bible, and Sharps
rifle with which to shoot the Gospel into the
Southern settlers in that section; and who, du-
ring the late war, was most enthusiastic IN his
support of vigorous prosecution of the war.
He has never possessed any charity for rebels,
Democrats or Southern people generally, and
yet he is as outspoken and vehement in his de-
nunciatiOns of corruption in the present adj
ministration of national affairs, as is any Dem
ocrat in the land.
Sun, pronounces Grants Administration the
most profligate and corrupt of any since the
foundation of the Republic, Radical papers
proclaim that such assertions on the part of
Dana, are only the spiteful utterances of man
who was refused an Office by Grant, and there
fore they are not to be believed. When Dem
ocratic papers make the same charge, it is Of
course false, because it emanates from Dem
ocratic source, but We have seen no reply at
tempted in refutation of the fearless utteran-
ces of Carl Schurz, in reference to the utter
incompetency of the preseat Administration,
and the the personal government policy of the
present occupant of the White House.
What will the Radicals now say of Beecher
His speech evidences that he is no longer an
admirer or supporter of Grant, but that, like
Horace Greeley, Theodore Titon, Charles A.
Dana and other great Radical lights of the
past. he has given in his adhesion TO the great
for reform, not only in local but IN
National affairs. The party lash can no longer
bring these refractory leaders OF public opinion
back into the harness The movement which
resulted in the union of the honest men of both
political parties TO wipe out the corrupt Tam.
many ring in New York. and to sweep the ring
thieves of Chicago from Office. will undoubted-
ly extend 10 national affairs. People are be-
ginning to think. and with the sober second
thought will come reaction which will clean
out the corrupt rings of scoundrels in high as
well as in low places.

AN UNApPREcIATED POEM.

There was once a man named Peter, and he
had lovely daughter,
And a-f~hing he did used to go upon the
raging sea-
And all the .hrimps and sharks he caught he
took, as he had oughter,
And put them in paper bag, and fetched
them home to she
Now Salie was this maiden's name, for her
lips were red ss radishes,
Her cheeks were pink, her eyes were green,
her hair was jetty black,
But she had an awful temper, and whenever
she got mad, dishes
Went flying about the room, in regular
hecatamack.
There lived dashing buccaneer, whose Chris
tian name was Samuel,
And fashionable peanut stand bis aged
mother kept;
And by doing Sallie's wishes (Which the fes-
tive, gay young clam knew well,)
He gained her youthful heart and into her
affections crept.
But her father did not fancy Sam, and babe
him leave the edifice,
And withdraw his ugly visage from his sight
forevermore;
Ard he swore n mighty oath that he would
surely punch his head if his
Blamed countenance was ever seen protrud-
One night Pete felt tremendous blue, his head
rather achy,
And his jaws throbbcd until he surely tho t
he'd get the scarlet mumps;
Trade, too had been quite dull of late, the
oyster biz was shaky,
And pondering DER his woes he caught a
chronic fit of dumps.
Just then Samuel came along, a trolling Yam
kee Doodle
AS a sign for Sallie TO come out and meet
him in the lane,
And Peter he got up and vowed he'd send that
bloody noodle
To where he'd ne'er annoy his sight or cross
his path again.
So he took an old umbrella, which was stand
ing in the corner,
And just got up and lit on gentle Sammy as
he came;
He then drew off and let him have, right on
his Roman horn.
Most all fred lick, which show ed the accuracy
OF his aim.
Poor Sam, he never brea,hed again; that bright
dream was final one,
For Peter got ierociOu5 and pull led out 4 cary
ing knife,
And hunting round until he found the cord they
call the spinal one.
He chopped it up in fourteen strips ard took
poor Sammys life.
When Sallie saw her love was dead, her brain
began 10 stagCer,
So she went and buyed and bolted down of
arsenic pound;
In her anguish-laden bosom next she plunged
four foot dagger,
And laid down beside her Samuel with his
neck her arms around.
Then anguish filled Pa Peters soul; he ate a
keg of powder,
Drank "a quart of nitro glycerine, and then
to crown it all,
Swallowed down red hot poker. and went off
fourteen times louder
Than the largest cannon that throw a
twenty four inch ball.
They buried all they found of him within a
graveyard rural;
''IN PAcIBUs oUEsCAT" on his tombstone one
may scan;
For the numberthey felt forced to use was Ger
tainly the plural,
For if ever man in PIECES rested. Peter was
that man. Harvard Advocate.

THE I1IMOyABEE 1ECEE.

The mule stood on a steamboat deck,
The land he would not tread;
They pulled the halter round his neck,
And cracked him 0 er the head.
Ye, firm and steadfast there he stood
As though formed to rule;
A creature of heroic blood
Was that there cussed mule.
They cussed and swore-he would not 20
Until he felt inclined;
And though they showered blow on blow,
He wouldn't change his mind.
The deck hands to the shore then cried,
"This here mules bound to STAY
And still upon the critters hide
With lash they fred away.
His master from the shore replied
The boats about TO sail,
And ey'ry other means you've tried,
Suppose you twist his tail
"It's likely that will make him land"
The deck man, brave, though pale,
Approached him with his ouistretched hand,
TO twist that there mules tail.
There came sudden kick behind
That mau-oh where was he?
Ask OF the softly blowing wind,
The fishes in the sea
For moment there was rot sound,
As that mule wnked his eye,
As if TO ask of those around.
"Now, how is that for high?''
''Cut that there mules throat right away
The captain did command
But the noblest crittcr killed that day
Was the fearless, brave deck hand.
