A French lady, on her arrival
iu this country, was careful to eat
only just such dishes as she was
acquainted with, and being on one
occasion pressed to partake of a
dish new to her, politely replied:
Il thank you; / eat only my ac-
quaintanees." She thought she
had expressed herself in admiyA>

The Cincinnati Enquirer calls
to mind a bit Of history which
becomes interesting at this time
as showing that 1.-The whirligig
Of time brings in his revenges. "
In 1868, the Hon. Alex. Long,
who then represented the Gin
cinnati district, made a speech
in Congress against the further
prosecution Of the war. 1t was
a dignified effort, and reflected
personally upon no one, but it
was an anti-war speech. Mr..
Speaker Colfax thought proper
to descend from his chair and
offer a resolution for the expul-
sion of Mr.. Long. 1t was sup
ported by General Garfield in
an elaborate speech, and only
failed for want of the requisite
twc-thirds vote. Ten years
have passed, and now Colfax
and Garfield are in the same
condition as Mr.. Long. Pro-
positions for their expulsion
and impeachment are pending,
with this difference and it is a
big one, that in Mr.. Longs case
it only referred to an expression
of opinion, while in their cases
it goes directly to moral corrup-
tion and criminalvillainy. "And
thus The whirligig time brings
in his revenges.
