His Nasby letters are often planned ont
weeks before they are produced, but are usual
ly written at the last moment and under the
high pressure of call for "copy." As the
reading public well know, they have always
a point to make, and succeed in keeping it in
'front.' throughout. Hence the extraordinary
success OF his lectures. They touch some
HNIlS spring OF thought and action, and leave
the past to ITSELF

At home in pretty little house in Huron
street, Mr.. Locke entertains his guests with
true Western hospitality. Groups of Rogers
statuary are scattered about the room, and
many paintings adorn the walls. The most
attractive of the latter is little water-color
sketch by Tom Mast, representing himself as
met at the depot by ParsOn Nasby. The
drOllery of the picture is inimitable, and the
portraits are excellent. The carpet-bag
swung in the left hand of Mast, as he extends
his right hand in greeting is almost as large
as the hero himself
Mr. Locke has an interesting family, con-
sisting of wife and three boys. The eldest
OF the latter Is seventeen and the youngest
three years of age. Il has been the pleasant
lot of Mrs. Locke to see her husband rise
from the rank of jOurneyman printers to a
national reputation and a fortune. The
late Postmaster" &C., is worth at least
S200,000.
At home, Mr.. Locke throws off the cares
OF business with his boots, and is man who
thoroughly enjoys the comforts of his touse-
hold. Or, returning earlier than usual from
his office, he rides out to his farm, distant
three miles, and surveys his crops So far
alone does he resemble Mr.. Greeley, whom,
1t is needless to add, he thoroughly detests.
Recently Mr.. Locke has gathered the best
OF his Nasby letters into one volume, to
which, singularly enough, Senator Sumner
has written the preface. In this preface he
SPEAKS of the good work the letters have
done for the Republican cause Yet, before
the book had come before the public, Nasby
had set his face against Sumner, and let fly
some OF his sharpest arrows against the great
disorganizer. The honorable Senator's pre-
dicament on this point can scarcely be pleas
ant.
Many persons have criticised the Nasbv
letters severely, but when Sumner, the schol-
ar, bears his testimony in their favor, and re-
peats what Lincoln said-that he would rath-
er have written them than be President
criticism will find it hard task to deny abil-
ty to them. They have been read in every
State, by all classes of people, and have even
provoked laugh from those who suffered
most from their satire.

The Bugle Call.
BY MRS. ISABELLA FoGG.
Your banners raise again brave boys;
Rally the gallant and true:
Again your country calls, brave boys,
She calls for her boys in blue.
Hurra! for the boys in blue, Hurra!
For Grant and Wilson too;
For the battle worn, Hurra, Hurrai
Three cheers for the Leather and Shoe
The bugle sounds ''to arms" brave bOysi
The contest again renew,
With Tanner ballots armed brave boys,
March! to the polls in blue.
Hurra! for the boys in blue, Hurra! sc,
Think of the CORY field, brave boys,
OF three hundred thousand slain;
Methinks hear them pleading, say:
Have we died for you in vain?
Hurra for the boys in blue, &c.
Then raise your standard higher, boys
And swear by their lowly graves,
You'll never disgrace your arms boys,
Nor the blood of the fallen braves.
Hurra for the boys in blue, &c.

An honored soldier says the desertions
from the Republican party at the present
time, are like the caving in of army officers
and public men in favor of the Confederacy
in the early part of the Rebellion-they in
dicated that the fight would be hard one
and nerved loyal people up to their full duty.

Prince Bismarck travels in a luxurious
deadhead railway car, SO constructed that it
can be made to run over any line of rails,
and which has the right to circulate freely
over any railroad in Germany. 1t may be
attached to any train, or drawn to any sta
ton that the prince may indicate, and carry
as many passengers as he may choose to ac-
company him. 1t was a present from the
railroads of the empire.

Judging from reports of people who have
gone down to Saybrook, Conn.,, that is just
the place for those to go who want active ex-
ercise. The mosquitoes outnumber the sum-
mer visitors, hundred to one, and each
hundred is constantly paying importunate at
tentions to each one. One man, of statistical
turn of mind, reports that in drive of a
quarter of mile, he positively and by actual
count killed $40 of the little pests.

A Paris correspondent relates a story which
may be taken as an illustration of sublime
impudence. He states that gentleman
walking with a little boy on the banks of the
river, the child slipped over the bank into the
river, and would certainly have been drowned
but for the courage of man who was fishing,
who jumped in and saved the boy. The
father thanked him cordially, but asked him
if he would add to the obligation, as he was
already wet through, by swimming for the
the boys cap.

The poisonous iced cream, which is so fire.
quently mentioned in the papers, is made OF
corn-starch, French clay and poisonous color

dulging in this enticing dish is thus described: !:
First dyspepsia, then scrofulous eruptions,
eruptions accompanied by loosening of the
teeth and a dropping out of the hair. After
this, deadly lassitude seizes upon the frame
of the unfortunate victim, and insanity or
hopeless idiocy ends the sufferers career.

A DELIGHTFUL SURPRIsE.-Ladies whose
faces are clouded by superficial discolorations,
and who have resolved to try HAGAN's MAGNo-
LA BALM as a remedy, have no idea of the
welcome surprise they will receive from their
mirrors after a few applications of that health
full purifier of the complexion. If at all ex-
citable, they will scream with rapture on be-
holding the change; whether the bemish it is
desired to remove be sallowness, blotehes, pim-
pies, freckles, roughness, or an unnatural pal
ior, it is bound to disappear under the tonic
operation of this wonderful agent. To say that
the blemish disappears, does not, however,
convey any idea of the effect produced by this
celebrated beautifer. The unsightly unge,
whether diffused over the whole eountenanre
or in spots or patches, is replaced by auniform,
pearly bloom, to which no description can do
iustice. aug-5-eod1w&w1t
