Fables of zambri, the Pharsee.

Fables of Zambri, the Pharsee.
L. An ant laden with grain of
corn, which he had acquired with i'm
finite toll, was breasting q current of
his fellows, each of whom, as is the
etiquette, insisted on stopping him,
feeling him all over, and shaking
hands. 1t occurred TO him that an
excess of ceremony IL an abuse of
courtesy. So he laid down his bur-
den, sat upon it, folded all his legs
tight to his body, and smiled a smile
of great grimness.
sHailoi What's the matter with
your" exclaimed the first insect,
whose soVertures were declined.
(" Sick of the hollow conventionaIi-
ties of rotton civilization" was sthe
rasping reply. " Relapsed into the
honest simplicity of primitive observ-
ances. Go to grass"
'' Ali then we must trouble you for
that corn. In a condition of primitive
simplicity there are no rights of prop
erty, you know, these are hollow
conventionalities.'"
A hight dawned upon the Intellect
of that pismire. lie sock the reefs
out of his legs, be scratched the re-
verse of bis ear; he grappled that GER
cal and trotted away like giant re-
freshed: 1t was observed that he sub
mitted with a wealth of patience to
manipulation by his friends and neigh
bors, and went some distance out of
his way to shake hands with strangers
on competing lines of traffic.
Nevertheless, this fable does not
teach that social observances are al
ways-or even commonly-ground
in good sense. II itdid, that would
m AXE it true.
2. A snake who had lain torpid all
night in his hole, took advantage of
the first warm day to Timber up for
the spring campaign. Having tied
himself into an intricate knot, he was
overcome by the warmth of his own
body, that he fell asleep, and did not
wake until nightfall. In the darkness
he was unable to find his head or his
tail, and so could. not disentangle, and
slide into his hole. For consequence,
he froZe to death.
Many philosopher has failed to
solve that knotty problem himself,
owing to his inability to discern his
beginning and his end.

Nprimitivea and pastoral times oxen
were quite the thing in all kinds of
transportation. John Alden enjoyed
tossing Priscilla into the seat upon
the cushioned back of the snow-white
bull, according to Longfellow, as well
as any modern cavalier, though fresh
as Bridegroom and i" perfumed like
q milliner,p could lift lady to the
side saddle that presses the flank of
thoroughbred. And in very ancient
times cattle were the measure of
wealth. so that the word chattles, syn
onymous once with cattle, comes to
mean worldly goods in general. But
Just now we do not boast of one class
of cattle as an item of wealth, SO
much as a source Of anxiety.

A few days since We had the curious .of.
tune to meet two persons, Just from New
| Otleans, who represented the two extremes
Of society and political opinion. 'Ose was
Massachusetts, uan originally, snd now
one Of the Elk division snperintendents Of
schools, and wes;judged him from sppear-
ance, to occupy .. medium position in life:
The other was Q member of the Spanish class
Of New Orleans, his ancestors having settled
there during the times Of the Spanish rule.
The esuperipfendensis sdecided Republican,
b believer in the Kellogg government and in
She future Of Louisiana and New Orleans.
The other WAS on his way to Boston to ascer.
tAln whether he could find there IN agreeable
location for his family. He regards the
future Of Louisiana ~ dark and gloomy,
and proposes to cell out his property, ct .
heavy loss, and with lessened fortune to
locate whore he may quietly educate he
children. Both these gentlemen agreed on
one point-thAt the great need of Louisians
to-day 10, the pscifcxtion of her troubles,
and the concentration Of effort toward the
payment Of debt and the reduction of tax
Epunber Of houses in New Orleans which
can not be rented tor the taxes. Taxation
is go high, owing TO the enormous State
debt, that property has fallen off in value
from sixty to seventy per cent An in
stance in point was mentioned. A house
which cost, . few years since, $4,000 was
offered for sale in May last, and the best
bid that could be obtained was $4,000, on
five. years credit. The proposition put
forth by Beauregard and Marks, to hsve
the people unite and select officers who
would serve the State without pay, and to
avoid further political wrangiings, it was
conceded, il the very thing Louisians, and
particularly New Orleans, needs. But the
jealoueies, and hot blood, and family and
and for the present, it must be deferred.
The Kellogg government, it is admitted, is
earnestly seeking to do what it can to meet
the demands Of the timer, but having come
into power in the midst of intense political
strife, it can not command the kindly re-
gard Of certain classes. AL this 10 unfor-
>tunste. But while the remedy 10 in the
Ehands Of the people, it il particularly unfor.
tunate that they do not yield prejudice to

A few days ago the superintendent Of the
workhouse in 6t. Louis received from the
Governor pardon for one civilian Multi
gan, convicted At the April term Of the
criminal court" Upon examination and
inquiry the superintendent ascertained that
there was NO person Of the name Of Null
gan in the institution, and furthermore,
that there had been NO April term of the
court, and, consequently, that Mr.. Mulligan
could not have been sentenced thereat.
The Governor, it appears, has been sadly
hoAxed; and the plain deduction from the
fact would seem to be that . mode of pro-
curing psrdons that renders such hoax
possible-s mode wherein the court which
sentences and the prison officers who have
the custody Of criminals are not consulted,
and no opportunity is given the public to
protest or approve, and NO public authority
is notified Of the appliestion-csn not be
too quickly reformed Chicago

J And yet this is the way the business has
been carried ON in Louisiana for the last
three years. Worse hoaxes than this
usually succeed in turning our star vllains

that tho party in power has not some men
of both races in its ranks Who arc honest
and cspable-for II all were corrupt there
would be no possibility of incorporating Q
better element into It's ranks. But it bss
not enough OF thst good material to

We hesitate because corruption and extra

federal government. Admitting, however,
this charge to be true tss it 10 not to any
very .irightful extent), We can clearly
perceive how little concern We haye in its
Shortcomings IN this respect when We reflect
that the taxable wealth of New York

States combined. Capitalization is another
4bugbear to the Southern mind; but, to the
extent to which it has developed, it 10
rather what the class to whom We appeal
should desire, than be afraid of. It Is not
an accident, nor An abuse which has crept

Of it, citizens from the spirit Of agrsrianism
and the license Of the rabble. 1t 10 the

gfatulate ourselves, should We have the
