SLIGHTLY ISJuRED.-Miss Jennie Pen

Female College. Miss P. and compan.

stepped of the board, which in its descent
struck her on the nose and carved from
the bone Of that organ a piece the size Of
half an ordinary pea land resembling it in
shape) as neatly as it could have been
doneby the most skillful surgeon. Strange
as 1t my seem, the piece Of bone was
found firmly imbedded in the board-so
firmly that it required considerable force

How Republicans feel Now

I Governor Brown in the To-
peka speech gives the exact
description of the statue of the
Republicans who have been
bowling down to sticks and
stones, and giving themselves
up to the delusions and rascal
tiles of the times. He tells
his audience the whole story in
a very few expressive words
which took us by surprise with
their plainness and directness.
"But I detain you by en-
umeration of causes which
have alienatd so many Repub.
licans. 1t is sufficient to reaf-
firm that such loss of confidence
on their part betokens serious
change. They feel like the
Hindoos, who finding that
their idols, though ever SC
much prayed to, would no
abate the plague, started en-
uuiry and discovered them al
to have been manufactured a
Manchester. That these i'm.
pressions are not the disturbed
imaginings of mere disappoint.

to your own consciousness"

free institutions. He always
acted on that belief, and he
never despaired Of the repub-
lie. His place was the guide
Of the people to their own best
good and greatest develop
ment in which character he
persevered without a shadow
Of turning from his first ap-
pearence in the Virginia House
of Burgesses, through Con
gress, the Cabinet, and the
Presidency up to the last labor
of his love only less strong
than death, the University
He was a cloud by day and a
pillar of fire by night to his
countrymen. In a higher sense
he was a benefactor of man
kind, for while he discharged
his duty as a fellow citizen in
his own State and the Federal
Union, he embraced also with
warmth and intelligence the
whole round of humanity.

There is q terrible anxiety
on the part of the Radical
managers to have Congress

Every day that it is in session

The reports Of the fourteen in

The relations of Germany
and France are once more IN a
critical condition, and the re-
occupation of portions OF
France by German troops, is
said to be imminent. The rea'
son assigned is the reorganiza-
ton of the French army on a
war footing. Under Thiers
plan now going into operation,
it is said, France will have in
a very short time an army
numbering over one million
and a half, a strength the Ger
man army will not attain be-
fore 1880. Thiers' plan re.
organizes the artillery with
two thousand seven hundred
guns, while Prussia has but
one thousand nine hundred. :
The London Times of April 4
says editorially:
"France and Germany,
which are yet hardly recover
ing from their recent struggle,
are bent on maintaining peace
by preparing for war with de-
plorable eagerness. Germany
hardly considers herself as a
match for her lately vanqulsh-
ed enemy, because she can
bring no more than 100000
men and 1900 cannon into
the field, while the available
strength of the French repub,
lie will soon, the German stra-
tigists calculate, be raised to
100000 men, and 2,7OO
pieces of artillery. On the
other hand, in order to muster
this force, France will not only
have to draft all her able'bod'
led youths into the ranks, but
will not even be able to spare
the one.eyed, hunchbacked
halt and lame, exception being
made only in favor of idiots
and cripples."

The following complimen
tary notice of the Republican
nominee for Supreme Judge
we clip from the West Unior
Peoples Defender:
Welch, the Radical nominee
for Supreme Judge is an ex
cellent man in his way-but il
is not very enticing way
He will be recollected as the
gentleman who got drunk be-
tween Hillsborough and Win
chester, and lost his over-coat
in the latter place, in l971.-
He was in company with
Judge Dickey and Judge
Green, who were also drunk
and laid around this town for
nearly a week, drinking and
spewing, and rendering them
selves intolerable nuisances.

[For the Macarthur Enquirer.l
THE PUP THAT WAS INT THERE
BY MKT.

You may brag Of your upper and under dogs
AS long as they bark or bite,
And commend the caution Of outside dogs,
That hover outside the fight;
But the Iuckiest dog, Pm bound to swear, y
Was the little lame pup that wasn't there
The noise of tho yelping he hears from afar,
And wishes he might 500 IN"
But sighs as he burles his nose In the straw
Knowing he couldn't win;
For little lame pups are always outlawed
And in such sort of fights get terribly chawed
His straw is clean and his kennel is warm
And the sun is in front of the door;
He has gnawed on the incest chicken bones,
Till naught can he gnaw any more;
Yet / haven't doubt that the pup If he might
Would Immediately nip at the murderous fight
And lucky il Is for that small dog,
That per force he cannot mix
In the melee of barks and yelps and bites,
And chokes and stones and kicks;
He saves his honor and saves his hide,
Which he wouldn't do if he wasn't tied.

Thomas Jefferson.

Says the Commoner Of the
18th ult: This is his birth, day,
and be has been dead not yet
fifty years. For almost half a
century he had taken the fore
most lead among his contem.
poraries. Born a reformer he
shrunk from no change of ex-
listing institutions which his
mind approved. Holding all
his own opinions subject to
correction, be insisted that old
usages should be able to de.
fend themselves by sufficient
reasons, or that they should fall
to the ground. Before the
revolution he advocated the
abolition of the African slave
trade, and with a boldness
which was the height of wis
dom, he agitated successfully
for the overthrow Of the three
fundamentals Of Virginia socie.
ty, which were entrenched
alike in the hearts and the
habits Of the people, to>wit:
the established Church, and
the real estate system founded
upon entails and primogeni-
ture. All his long, useful,
pains-takiug, and laborious life,
he allowed nothing of gener-
al interest to escape him, and
he prevailed in the strife for
the protection of liberty against
every form of civil and re-
ligious despotism. The COM
munity he lived in was disting-
ulShed for Its love OF the estab-
lished religion and the heredi-
tary monarchy, but he saw
that the mass of all those
prejudices must be encounter
ed and thrown, or that
self-government which was his
highest truth and deepest faith,
could never be sure Of it's foun-
dation, He appealed to all
classes Of people, and all ages ;
he believed from the bottom
Of his soul in their capacity for
