fellow, and, if he is not quite as strong
as Kicker, makes up the deficit in moth
er wit and cunning. A year or two since
he had number of sacks of coarse salt
in his store, so heavy that no man in
town could shoulder one. One day Or
ange emptied a sack, packed it full of
India wheat hulls, and placed it beside
the others. The next time Kicker came
in, Orange began to pooh at hi boosted

est man of the two, offering 70 test the
question by shouldering bag of salt,
the one falling in the attempt obligating
himself to pay the raisins. 1t was agreed
to, and Orange seized the bag of bulls,
weighing probably forty pounds, and af-

molasses into the hat, which he pushed
along into the middle of the floor. After

Kicker dropped il, when the boys all
shouted that the great, big Kicker was
fairly beaten by the little Buchanan. He
was terribly mortified, and hastily Selling

left the store in hot haste. But he hadn't

WANTED SYMPATHY.

Number Nine married because she had
read novels and wanted sympathy. Sym
patty is a fine thing, but it cools down
at rapid rate if the domestic kettle is
not kept boiling, and the domestic tur-
key is undone. Novels and house-keep-
ing don't run very well together in har-
ness, to use sporting phrase, and Num-
Der Mines supply of sympathy didn't
hold out very lonp.

GREELEY's VIEW OF GRANr-Mr
Greeley assumes the craftsmanship of the
city republican committee Of New York,
amlabiy hoping that he can do some
thing to restore harmony in the party
there. We trust he will bc able to do it.
and that he may be instrumental in in
sililn" a little principle into the party,
as well as making it harmonious. In
accepting the place Mr.. Greeley made Il
little speech, in which lie predicted that
Gen. Grant would lie rcnuminatet, and
sad, what is very true, that he will be Il
treat deal better fitted for the place at his
next election than he was at first. A.
tor the mistakes the president has made,
III his appointments. etc, Mr.. Greeley i
IN favor of having lhe party divide and
shoulder the responsibility with him, de-
claring that "whatcvcr blame may Justly
attach to this falls righttuily ON US, who
took him from the head of the army and
n"'le him our civil chief magistrate, fully
aware that he had never voted "a repub-
lican ticket, if, indeed, he had voted at

ing given by the French.
The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times thinks that the further resi5
tence of Paris will be blicf, and that
food will fail before the end of the pres.
ent month.
4 dispatch from Paris, Of the 9th
ult, states that the weather seems to
grow more Indictment every day. TIE
consumption of wood for fires has been
given over to the administration, and
off ial notices have been issued that the
supply henccforth will be limited. The
troops are suffering cruelty from cold.
Several cases Of frost bite have occurred,
and in consequence General Trochu has
ordered that ali soldiers not employed at
the Notifications be kept within shelter.
1t las been decided, also, 10 distribute
food and establish soup kitchens under
the direction OF The governor.
THE GERMAN GUNS DOING EFFECTIVE
WORK.
The bombordmcnt OF the forts on the
southern side Of Paris is steadily con-
tinucd, and lis the fire of the French is
slackene,l, it is supposed that several
guns in the forte are diSmounted. The
weather rs favorable for siege operations.
A correspondent at Margency, says that
Forts Rosny and Nogent have suffered
severely, and that it is believed there are
no French infantry outside the tortifica-
tons on the east and northeast. Paris
is active, and offensive operations are ex-
pected Immediately.
