mast HEARD FROM.
The expedition which WAS aont out In seEtch
Of Mr. Thomas Nast, through tho public spirit
and personal Kindness Of Mr. Wattoraon, Of Ga1o
Louisville Conrter-Journal, has returned, having
successfully accomplished its mission and lls-
oovorod tho lost caricaturist. 1t will bo rolief
to tho public to know that tho reports Of Nr.
Nast's sudden demiao arc untrue, likewise tho
ruraor that he hnd been spirited away by band
Of foroclous Liberal brigands, headed by Car1t
schurz, and that they woro holding him prisoner
in tho expectation Of rocoiving ransom from tho
Mosars. Harper, Mr. Naats employers. It is now
pearod from tho public view, during which time, IT,
appears from tho reports Of thooxpoditon, ho has,
boon suffering from q combination Of diseases,
such as Crodt Mobillor, Louisiana usurpation,
Pomoroy frauds, Caldwell bribos, and other COM
plants. His nfe was deBpaired OF for a con-
siderable time, but some emollient p1asters, in
tho shape Of reports from Congressional In vesti
eating Committees, composed Of equal parts*of
lye aud whttowash, ha,,e brought him round
again, and he ia now coflva1oscont, and has made
his appearance ouco m orc in Harper's Weekly.
Wo regret to notice that ho ia etill woakly and
delicate and doea mol display that Robustness
and yigor which areaHigns Of good hoalth and
sound mind. We, toar that his employers,
tho Mossra. iHhrpor, havo forced linn
out Of his chamber too soon, and
that, in ftrdoring him to mike aa
good ahow" as possible for Credit Mobilor,
they assigntadbim task which Was beyond Ills
strength. TN no other way can ITO understand
tho feeble 1o{oxhibitionwhioh he has made Of him
self. RIHnorto, as. nrtiat-lauroato for the
Harpora mr.. Mast has asuccooded tolorab1y we'll,

It will ho remembered, however, that tho

tomer, virago, and noisy blatherskito, who
bears every Indication Of having been employed
by that ort,wd OF innocent lambs bohind her to
