THE PHANTOM SPOON.

Butler made II speech in Essex, Mas
sachusrtts, on the evening of tho 10th
to an ordinance of some four hundred
persons. AS usual, he was eloquent ON
the negro, the unleconstructcd rebles,
the Southern outragcs and the specie
question. lie wanted the Louisiana
cut-throats dealt with vigorously, the
rioters cut Off III the flower of rascality.
And then he rose upon II wing of finance,
and the Boston uerand's report of tho
event, says:
At this point, and while the General
was holding to all men to pay their
honest debts, spoon WAS lowered by
mcuncs of II string through the scuttle
of the roof and hung Ikea specture in
mid air. A GiGgle was heard from tho
audience, and ii soon, assumed the pro-
portions of roar. The General tried
to continue, but was several times in
tcrruptcd. lie failed ut first to observe
the Objectionable article of table use.
Gen. Butler finally placed his eye upon
it and gazcd from right to left withoutn
word tos say. IIcaguin attemptedt to pro-
coed, but only again to be interrupted.
Finally, he shook his handlS crchiefan
Strengthened himself and remarked:
"WelI, should think that is about as
good an argument as can he opposed
to-" The spoon wiggled In the air rand
the General continued.

The Nation, a Radical paper, holds
this language: The success of the
thieves in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana, as well as elsewhere, and their
hold on the ignorant masses whom we
have enfranchiscd, are mainly due to
the fact that our marshals and collectors,
and surveyors. and postmastcrS are
their confctlcratcs, and keep them as
sured of the support of the authorities
at Washington in case the worst comes
to the worst. This ought to come to an
end; but it will not come to an end I'M
less the public takes the ma:tcrin hand.
There is enough stolidand selfish inScn-
sibility Mt the Width Housc,and enough
lazy Indifference in Congress, to stand Il
dozen such broils as this in Louisiana
with perfect cquanimity. The Presi-
dent is probably glad he has not had to
kill people or lombard an American city
i'm order to reinstate Kellogg, but he is
probably not sorry nc put him in power
i'm the beginning, and does not care how
long he stays in it.

KEEP THE FARM AND HOME TIDY.

Somebody, we know not who, wrote,
years ago, the following good advice.
Like other good things it comes to the
surface occasionally and will bear repeat
ing:
If you get Il moment to spare, spruce
up; put the gate on its hinges put II
little paint on the picket fence you
built last year trim up the door yard,
make it cozy and inviting. Do not say
you can find no time TO attend TO these
things. The fact is, you have no right
to be slovenIy. team do you no good,
but on the contrary, it will mar your
peace, wound your self-respcct and
impair your credit. Then, by all
means, spruce up little at odd times,
and ut even times too, for that matter.
1t will make you feel vastly better and
maybe, IL triile proud of your pretty
homestead. Your wife and children
will be made happier for it; your
ncighborS will be enriched, beautified
and blessed by it. And your farm will
be worth more money in the market
and of greater value to you Mt home,
if you spruce up Il little now and then.

were watched for several days. when the
weasel vas observed to be digging hole
in the earth under pile Of lumber. At
ter he had completed 1t. he approached
the mill, and The rat came after bin as

aud directed to u worthy colonist Of that

we send you shipment-one widow aud

Virginia. There has been especial care
in the choice of them, for there hath not
one Of them been received but upon good
recon- the ndations. In case they cannot
be presently married We desire that they
may be put with several householders that
have wives until they can bs provided

But the writer Of this cpistle bad little
reason to fear that any Of the 'msidens

contain evidence to prove that these 6sss
cargoes of young ladies were put up ns
auction and sold for one hundred aud
tweenty pounds of tobacco each. and il
was ordered that this debt should have
precedence Of all others. The solitary
