Parody On Bret Harte and John Hay.
Richard s. Greenough, the sculptor, hav.
ing been reused to emulation by reading
John Hay and Bret Harte, has tried his
hand on the following parody:
After the manner Of the Moderus.
Hurrah for Mol Of the Mountains,
The gal that hangs by me;
I'll back her agin the biggest cuss
Whoever the fool may be.
She's sumner, and as roarer
What do you say she's black.
Young frll"w, you'll get fioorer
II you don't take that word back.
Down in the gulch's belly
She pitched into Silver Jim
She knocked him into Jelly
There was little left OF him.
She and grizzly tussle,!-
1t was even tug and go:
Shed nary rag LETT OH her
But she made him swallow a noe:
She bet her pile and lost it,
For gouging Lee was there
She didn't seem to care u bit
Didn't the fellow stare.
& I'll 60 another" yelled Molly
We gathered round to zee
She touched of keg Of powder
And landed in tree.
Mol was hanging there too
She did not vince moan
But to see her open and shut her hands
Would have melted q heart of stone.
" Are you suffern muchl' said T. "MOli'
I'm just in hell" said she;
" But guess far u. monte goes
I'm ahead Of gOuying Lee!"
Three months on her back Moll lay
The powder mark is there.
But gOugng Lee found another tree:
Now call her black, if you dare,

Here is wild tale from the Memphi

Here is wild tale from the Memphis
Appeal:
A strong man falleth. He visiteth faro
bank-he lOseth all. As the gray dawn ap-
preached he walked sad and detected down
one of our principal streets. He waxeth
wroth, and the more he thought of his fool
ishness the more wrOth he became. He
approached an unsuspecting man. who.
with his foot propped up en- doorstep,
STOPPING over. was quietly tying his shoe.
The victim of faro saw the breach. Here
was an object on which to vent his spleen,
regardless of the consequences. He loosened
his femur and its attachments. and the
whole of the meta carpels OF his right foot
went laundering into shoetyers rear. A
pause; shoetyer recovered himselfa and gazed
upon his opponent. "What are kicking me
for, sir was only tying my shoe. '.D-n
You, YOU are always tying your shoe, and
on went the irate loser at faro, while the as
sailed gazed after him in mute amusement.
IL suppose l do wrong some people by tying
that shoe so much Philosophers are not
all dead

The MEASING.-Stephen Meaning is a
Joker. such as Mrs. Murray dislikes.
Stephen is a deceiying fellow, if it be true,
as asserted by Mrs. Murray, that he stepped
into her palatial grocery, corner of Peters
debt Of five dollars, laying down twenty
dollar sreenback. She felt rejoiced, and
took out fifteen dollars from the bottom OF
her bank box. Stephen grabbed his note
and her fifteen dollars, taking a sudden de-
psrtlre. but a peclcr grabbed him like he
would q thief Now this avaricious man
mourns in prison for taking what wasn't

The Mansfield ReDoaier saws:

We regret that We have no more favorable
news of the crops to report this week than
we have reported for several weeks. 1t is
asserted by every planter with whom we
have conversed recently, that the cotton
yield will be small compared with the estl-
mate made of it in the spring. The bottom
crop has matured, and is pretty good: the
middle crop is damaged considerably, and
the top crop is almost entirely cut off. The
drouth and boil worm are doing more harm
to the staple than the caterpillar. The corn
crop will not be as large as we were led to
hope and believe it would be, still we trust
it will be ample to meet the wants Of the
narish.

Great and good news for our German
friends, and for all lovers of malt beverage.
Our Teutonic friend, Mr.. Hugo Redwitz,
proprietor of the Cotton Boil, No. 1872
Common street, between Camp and st.
Charles streets. has just returned from an
extensive tour North and West, in search
Of lager beer of the finest and best quality
to be procured in this country. Mr.. Red
WITT has set OF No. customers, perfect
connOisscurs Of the article, and he himself
is perhaps as perfect type of our real
natural German "Gastwirth" as ever tended
bar in this city. His search was not in
vain. He has secured as fine beer as was
ever put on tap in any place in this country
or in any other place, Munich, perhaps, only
excepted. His arrangements are such, that
the beer will come here summer and winter
fresh from the cellars in the West. 1t is
done in this wise: The beer is taken fresh
from the ice cellar in Louisville, put on
board of tightly closed box cars, packed in
an abundance Of ice, and after landing
here, is Immediately put in an ice cellar
which he had constructed at great cost. so
that the beer loses not a particle of its
original freshness and good flavor. For
this original enterprise, Mr.. Redwitz de-
serves good deal Of credit and patronage.
In addition to the attractions of the finest
lager in the city, the house is kept in fine
style. in a culinary point Of view, and the
hungry and weary will find good cheer and
accommodation on the most reasonable
terms Of any place in the world. See his
advertisement
