FANTASIES.

If should chance to 90 to see
A charming, chubby young ladie
Whose given name was Miss Fannie,
Were there not a Fan t see;
A very funny, odd Fan see?
IF my Charming friend Fannie
Lived in a tip-tOp storie:
If she lived up in an attic,
Were she not then Fan dtic,
So lifted up, aristocratic ?
And if my chubby little Fan
Loved darling duck of man,
Whose common Christian name was
Tom.
Were not the chap a mere Fan tom
However hearty and handsome?
Or. if, perchanee, the name of Dan
Attached itself to. the coming man,
And Fan should tell her Dan to go,
Would not that be Fan Dan 90?
If not, what then I'd like to know.

| Huntsville and Nashville &. i.
In our editorial a week or two
since, we said the building Of this
road would bring the East Alabama
and Corinth Railroad by way Of
Huntsville. We should have said
the East Alabama and Cincinnati
Railroad. AID we said, the build
ing of the Huntsville and Nashville
Railroad would be Of vital impor-
tance to Nashville and Decatur,
when we should have said, to the
Louisville, Nashville and Great
Southern Railroad. It will become
q great feeder to that road, for the
reason that a vast amount of freight
would find its way to that road
from western Georgia and east Al
ALBANIA, which now goes over the
Nashville and Chattanooga Rail
road, to the cities Of Nashville and
Louisville. And in the event of
the East Alabama and Cincinnati
Railroad going up Paint, Rock river
to Woodville, on the NJ. & @. Rail
road, and thence to Winchester, all
the freights from West Georgia and
East Alabama would go over that
route to Nashville, and it would
become a formidable rival of
the Louisville and Nashville and
Great Southern Railroad, for the
reason that it would be as near from
Nashville to Montgomery, over the
East Alabama and Cincinnati Rail
road, as it would be over that road
via Decatur,
If the building of the road from
Huntsville to Pulaski would bring
the East Alabama and Cincinnati
Railroad to Huntsville, then Hunts
vile and the county Of Madison
should do everything in their power
to aid in its construction; for
should the E. A. & c. Road go by
the way of Woodville and Winches-
ter, Huntsville would be left out in
the cold, and the merchants of
Huntsville would have to pay just
as much freight from Winchester as
they now have to pay from Decatur.
They will remember the Winchester
Railroad is but a branch of the |
Memphis and Charleston Railroad. |
We reiterate our statement: Hunts
vile and Madison County, and Elk |
ton, Pulaski and Giles, can build |
this narrow-guage road and never
feel it; and it viii be the best in
vestment they ever did or ever will |
make.
The road can be built and
equipped for s5O0,00o. Narrow
gauge railroads can be built by |
cities and counties, and viii develop !
the agricultural and mineral re
sources Of counties which are now
without railroad facilities; and so
far as initiating against the inter
ests Of broad gauge roads-main
trunk liues-they will greatly in
crease their business and promote
their interests.

HdDSi "a GuOS6 VINO nave 4Stb AAe6Z
especially from the farm lands
around, have been in receipt of
large sums of money from the Prus-
sian treasury. These simple mind
ed agriculturists took the honest
Kings money and Immediately de
clared for France. The thought,
therefore, that Prussia is really pay
ing the expenses ola good part of
the emigration, that the u-grateful
Frenchmen are really crossing into
France with the Kings money in
their pockets, gives the Pickezhau5ers
deep anger, and may account for
their rudeness to the exiles. "They
take the Raiser's money says PICKED
hau5er ruefully, sand then run
away" "Yes," says the Frenchmen,
"why don't you let us stay? Look
at Paris. All the Germans who left
there dnring the war to fight France,
are returning, and we don t say either
be Frenchmen or leave Paris. They
stay and become rich; and vet we
are not allowed to remain here
where we were born without telling
a lie and saying we are Germans
How is that?" ''Oh, that" says
PicEetAaa5er, is quite a different
matter"
PRUssIAN FTRAfNEss AND KINDNESS.
So far as carpenters and painters
and cunning workmen can 90, Stras-
burg and Metz and all Alsatian
towns are thoroughly changed. You
walk through Strasburg and you
find every corner has new sign,
certifying in the German tongue the
street has a new name. In some
side streets the old French names
remain; but nearly every corner has
a fresh glaring German sign in large
blue letters. The railways have
German signs, telling you where to
eat, where to wait and where to de
liver and obtain your baggage. The
cabmen are much distressed about
this, one of them explaining, not
without profanity, that he did not
know his head from his heels since
the new signs were put up. But in
all matters of administration, so far
as the army is concerned, the people
have been treated with kindness and
generosity. The Prussian officer, in
any view you may take of him, is
not what would be regarded as q
model father-in-law. He would ra-
ther be insolent than not, if you
give him occasion. But in AIsace.
the officers seem to belong to an am
iablo rssoe. The orders from Berlin
are to "win the people back to the
Fatherland," and so the Alsatians
are in the strange attitude Of receiv.
ing good gifts and spurning the Civ
ers. All who have lost money in
the bombardment have been well
paid. I am sorry to say that many
of them as soon as they received
their money declared for France and
left for Paris to become martyrs on
the Boulevards. The Prussian only
shows his Prussian nature in deal
ing with the emigrants. There is
no doubt that greaI brutality has
been shown to those Alsatians who
declared for France and emigrated !
They were ilI-used at the railway |
station, crammed into inferior cars
and every discomfort heaped upon
them. Apart from this, the Prus-
sian rule in Strasbourg and through
out Alsace has been as kind as ever
the French was-far kinder than
you will find it in Germany.

Our Washington special cores
pondent gives some hints this
morning in regard to the future poll
icy of the administration. Those
hints are significant. It is stated
that the President will push for
ward his San Domingo project with
a vigor stimulated BY a new conf
dence in his power and sharpened
by an Unsuitable greed for the per-
sonal profit nc expects to derive
from the job. A shameless and in
innate agreement will likely be
formed with Wall street by which
the government and the money pow
er will combine to plunder and op-
press the people. The revolving Re
publicans are to be 1scourged without
mercy. An aggressive policy is TO
be pursued toward Mexico, and
Georgia is to be reconstructed. If
these impressions are correct the
must fill the heart Of the
thoughtful with dread Cour. Jour.

Not a. single Northern State is
known to have gone for Greeley
We are routed, whipred-'gone up"
in the fullest sense of that term
beaten,shorse foot and dragooas.-
1t win be seen that no majority for
Greeley is discernabIe until Mary
land and Missouri are reached, and
even Missouri is doubtful. Ken
tucky only gives him the sickly and
languid majority of ten thousand,
when she ought to have given him
forty thousand. The devil is in the
air and the dog of Radicalism is
having his day. "After u.s. may
come 1.-The deIuge," butif the deluge
don't come soon we must gather our
slouched and scattered forces and
cat them again" Days of adversely
prove the worth of men. Instead Of
electing Mr.. Greeley, as was antici-
pated Il few months since by his
friends, he's left without majority,
so far as known, except in the South.
The South alone has proved true to
the cause Of Liberalism. The sit
uation is glowing, the times are out
of joint. But we must rise and we
will rise. The Liberal elements of
the nation are made of sterner stuG
than that which gives away before
the first storm of adversity. There
is a large fund of courage and of
hope dwelling in the heart of our
legions yet. They viii struggle on
no less nobly-though hostile deities
have thrown the cloud of darkness
over them. We must close up the
ranks and press on and on, deriving
new and sterner courage from the
Christening influence of defeat. We
mustsee.

hope,
If not what resolution from despair"

ASSASSINATION IN BALTIMORE.
Mysterious Murder Of Physician.

Baltimore was shocked early on Saturday
night, by one of the most horrible and mystic
rious murders ever perpetrated in The United
States, and one that will stand in the annals
OF crime with the Burdell and Nathan muir
ders in New York. The Gazette of Monday
last, has the following particulars Of the af
fair: Dr. Merryman Cole, aged about sew
enty-one years, after taking supper with his
family at his residence, No. l02 North Exeter
street left ard went TO his Office, at No. Sc of
the same street, shortly after six o'clock p. m
on Saturday. He was the owner of number
Of small houses in that neighborhood, occnpi-
ed chiefly by negroes, and it was his habit to
require them TO pay their rent weekly. He
went to bis Office for the purpose Of meeting
his tenants, and as it was usually kept closed
no one suspected ANYTHING wrong. About
seven O'Clock two men were seen TO leave the
Office aud close the door after them, but that
was usual on Saturday evening and excited no
attention, nor Was it even noticed whether
they were black or white men. About quar-
ter-past seven o clock two little girls went
to the Office, as supposed for the purpose of
delivering some money to the doctor, and
they entering noticed that he was lying on the
floor, though there was no light in the office
They Immediately ran to the house of Dr.
Cole, and informed his daughter of what they
had seen, and she ran to the office. AS soon
as she entered and placed her hand upon the
body she discovered that he had been muir
dered, and was covered with blood. Her
shrieks in a few moments attracted number
of persons, among whom were Drs. Broad
bent and Yeates A light was procured, when
a horrible spectacle was presented. 1t was
evident that Dr. Cole had been sitting at n
table which stood immediately under the front
window, and his account book and some pa
| pers on the table. The body lay parti-
| ally under the table, with the head near the
wall, on some old papers. The doctors made
an examination of the body, and concluded
| that he had been dead almost half an hour
The entire head and face were horribly mutt
lated. The upper jaw was fractured just I'M
der the nose and The jaw crushed Just below
The left eye. The left orbit was also fractured
and there was large incised wound over the
left eve, and the right parietal was crushedin
On the back part OF the head was severe con-
fused wound, little TO the right of the occi-
pital, and there were four distinct wounds be-
hind the right ear, one Of which cut entirely
through the ear. In all there were nine CON
fused an four incised wounds When found
he was living his back, and around his
head there was n large pool of blood, but
none was found elsewhere in the room.
The Mayor of Baltimore has offered $500 90
for the apprehension of the murderer.
