CHAPTER ..

!. In those days when the great Rebellion
was come to an cnd. AID the u,oes Of Ham had
waxed powerful in the land, il came to pass
that the leaders Of the conquered tribes weAt
over to their masters in great numbers.
2. And many OF these were placed in author
ity, as tax-ga:herers, judges and governors.
B. And strangers were sent to rule over the
provinces, and wax fat ON the substance of the
people.
4. And Samuel, surnamed the growler,
dwelling in the province of Alki. who hun
gered for the fesh-pots of Egypt. had seen
these things and swore by his beard that Sc
lucius the babbler. who was the ambassador
from Alki, should be cut of and cast into
darkness.
s. And Samuel, the growlcr, stirred up the
tribes, and raised up Marshall the headstrong,
Benjamin the stiff, and Christopher the convi-
VIAL to be leaders of his armies against Seu-
cius, the babbler.
6. And Marshall the headstrong collected
together great navy of ships, and went forth
with banners and trunpets to give battle I'M
to Selucius the babbler
I. And Selucius the babbler, when he had
| seen the armies of Marshall, the headstrong,
set out against him to give him battle, went
forth single handed and put them all to flight
with the jaw-bone of an ass.
g. And in this battle, Marshall tho head
strong lost ten thousand
9. And when they had seen the things that
were done by this man, with the jaw bone Of
an ass, the tribes Of Ham marveled and aban-
doned themselves unto him, that he might do
his will unto them.
10. And Selucius the babbler multiplied ex-
ceedingly upon them raising up his seed to be
captains over them.
IL. Selucins the babSler, begot Elisha the

as the pious, Samuel the smiler and Clarence

H. And Selucius the babbler was begot ont
Of chaos by Arthur the silent, and Alvin, the
sloper.
49, And when the followers Of Ham saw that
Selncius had raised up his seed to rule over
them with rod of iron. and that all of the fat
places were given to jeff they held counsel to-
gcther and resolved to pu: him to death.
ID. Elisha, the parlamentarian, hearing
these things, went forth to meet Them that he
might persuade them not to do it unto him.
Is And when he had come into the place
of assemblage with his followers, he made a
great noise like the rolling of thunder, and the
tribes of Ham were frightened and sorely trou-
bled.
l6. But when they had observed his weapon,
that it was the jaw bone Of a toothess ass,
they marveed much at their own folly.
II. And the populace Knocked him and thrust
thorns into his side, crying hail Governor from
Waukeegan.
| IS. And the army OF Obid, sceirg trouble in
the camp Of Ham, came down from the noun

give battle.
10. And when Sclucus, the babbler, had
heard these things, he commanded his cap
tains to go into quarters until the rains came.

DOLLY WARDEN.

Macy Of our readers would doubtless
like to know something about the costume
now exciting so much attention 10 the cir.
cles Of fashion, and the subject Of SO many
witty paragraphs aud the theme of such
general comment. According to standard
authority in such matters, it is nothing
more nor less than "rcvival Of the anti.
quated lowered chintz overskirts worn bv
the English ladies in the middle of the
last century. 1t consists of a low-bodied
dress, with skirts we'll Topped up, sleeves
tight to the elbow and then suddenly as.
suming the dimensions of sacks, leaving
the arm below the elbow bare" The pat.
terms are varied, Of every hue and form of
sprig and flower, worn over scarlet or
brown garments, cut short and exposing
neat hose of bright harmonizing colors.
The effect is said to be bewilderinc upon
the senses and sadly Oppressive upon the
purse.
The costume is said to have derived its
name from the coquettish heroine of Dick
ems novel, Barnaby Ridge" Why,
nobody appears to know, but probably for
as sound reason as Dame Fashion usually
admits-expediency. The ideal of Dick
ems goes no further than "cherry- colored
hood and cloak. aud hat trimmed with
cherry colored ribbons" Fashions vota-
ries, however, care little for the origin, or
the hideousness or Inconvenience of any
style that may be prescribed. The un-
graceful Grecian Bend, distorting beauti-
full forms into homely caricaturcs, the
massive Chignon, Transforming the crown.
ing glory Of womanhood into unnaturally
grotesque shapes, the obtrusive Crinoline,
appropriatiug the sidewalk beyond the
verge Of reason, were as readily adopted
as the exceptional neat, tidy and more
comfortable costumes.
Dolly Warden has not yet invaded our
community, but if our information is relia-
BILE the infiction will not be much longer
delayed. The exhibition but awaits in-
formation as to the exact materials and the
precise cut Of the garments. A "Girl of
the Period" assures that she will positive
ly appear in the "sweet, duck of Co.'S
tume," soon as these minor details are as
certained. Meanwhile the public must
remain in painful suspense, unless some
visitor from a more fashion-favored realm
shall appear and carry off the honors.

WHY DO YOU ATTACK GARrIELDE7''


A friend Of Selucius, who has been in

The other day, Why do you attack Gar.
fcide! A few years ago he was the Dem

cd him" "You were never more mista-
ken, we replied, "when Mr.. Garfelde was
Democratic candidate for Delegate, we
opposed him earnestly, and we believe If.
fectivcly. Our paper, then as now, was
for the Union. We knew that Garfieldc
was bitter Seccssionist, friend of John
c. Breckenridge, by whom he was pur-
chased years before in Kentucky, for the
paltry sum Of eight hundred dollars. Sc.
lucius was defeated then by the efforts of
the Union Democracy, who resented the
fraud by which at the the convention he
cheated the people out of the selection of
that noble, pure-minded patriot, Gen. l. I.
Stevens. We may have many sins booked
against us, but our love for the Union
saved us from committing the great crime
fever supporting that false man for any
place Of trust or honor" Such, in sub.
stance was our reply. We did not add, as
we might have done, that after the glori-
Gus triumph of the friends of the country
was an assured fact, that we so far accept.
ed the professions of Sclucius as to speak
approvinsly Of his eloqueuce, when on
certain occasion he delivered Union ad.
dress in the Methodist Church. Our
tribute then was then rendered more to
the studied elocutionist than the protested
patriot.
We could give other reasons for attack
ing Mr.. Garfelde. For instance, we could
publish copies Of the official report of
Isaac Smith, of the Land Office, concerning
the frauds practiced on settlers by Gar
feldc; we could furnish the lying letter,
placed on file by him in the office Of the
Commissioner Of Pensions, which caused
that officer to remove from the pay.rolls
the name Of a widow whose gallant son re-
ceived his death wound at Chickamauga,
and we could show that the motive which
inspired it was hatred of another gallant
soldier, who had publicly proclaimed Selu-
cius Gar6elde ca liar, cheat and a pol
troon."
We are prepared to show that from the
commencement Of Garfelde's career to
this day he has been consistent only in
falsehood; that he has betrayed his best
friends; that his "great lectures" are
plagiar;sms, aud his reputed Congressional
services the imaginings of a false though
foxy brain. We defy the Courier to dis.
prove these statements. We intend, later
in the canvass to spread these and other
facts before our readers, that all may know
why it is that the sturdy pioneers of Wash
ington Territory distrust Selucius Garfielde
and feel that 10 his re election to the posi-.
ton Of Delegate fatal stab would be given
to the rising State we love to call our
home.
