CARTE BLANcHE.-Ala LAZY who was blessed
with alarge family of noisy young children, ard
who has been considered an invalid, thought
one day last week to have a few hours and
and quiet in her usually boisterous household.
Accordingly she secured man with trained,
birds, and giving him carte blanche in the
nursery, retired to her room for long needed
rest and repose. She had just closed her eyes
in sleep, when series Of unearthly yells
reached her ears from the direction of the ju-
venile headquarters, and with mother s
natural impulse, she jumped up and ran into
the midst of her offspring and their hired
entertainer. The latter was found vigorously
thrashing the beloved Johnny, and his junior
brother lay believing on the floor, evidently
in pain, while around and all about the room
various kinds of birds were flying In an ex
citing manner. Explanation, followed. 1t
seems the children had maltreated the birds,
and the owner, misconstructing the meaning
of carte blanche, soundly thrashed the guilty
ones as disciple of Bergh would naturally do.
He, of course was elected ditto the birds, who

Political Meeting.

Hon. NJ. H. Dunnell, candidate for
Congress, will speak at the court house
in this city on next Monday evening, at
Z O'Clock. The:e are the most cogent
reasons why there should be q full at
tendance. The people of this vicinity
will soon be called upon to exercise .
choice in selecting a representative in
Congress. Mr.. Dunncll has been in the
service four years, and has made record
to which he asks the closest attention of
els constituents. So far as we are aware
not a single official act of his has been
criticised, five eccept the one item con
corning back pay. Upon that point he
will make fair statement, and submit
it to the candid consideration of the vo.
tiers of the District. We submit whether
one act, and that one, such that good
men differ concerning its character
ought to condemn, without benefit Of
clergy, any one whose character and ser
vices have been of SO great advantage to
the party, and to the State, as have those
of Mr.. Dunnell. In order to justify any
opposition to him on the part Of republi
cans, they should KNOW that the oppo
sition candidate will not be more object
ionable than their own Is Judge Waite
such man? Answer by your votes.
