AN HUMBLE FOLLOWER oF"G. W."
"A good little boy ont West under
took to come the G. Washington on
his mother in this way: He cut off the
cats head with the traditional Ratchet,
and then hid the defunct feline in the
meal-barrel When the old lady went
for meal to make the shoe cake" for
the frugal morning repast, she discov-
cred the cat and interviewed her lit
tie son. He said 81 did it, mother,
with my little Ratchet, but I'll be swiz-
Zled If L can tell the whole truth about
this affair" Now most mothers would
have kissed that brave, truthful lad
on his noble brow, and kept right on
using the meal out of that barrel Just
the same, but this one didn't. She
said, "come across my lap, my son;
come across my lap" He came, and
for a while there rose cloud of dust
from the seat of his trowsers that eff
fectually hid the son from view, and
the old woman now sports goggles
and is lavish in the use Of Pettit's
eve salve That good little boy had
peppered the seat ofhis pants Green

Ben Butler in New Orleans.

A correspondent writes 10 the
Baltimore American from New Or
leans as follows:
''Gen Buler has left engraven in
the enduring granite several pungent
jokes he perpetrated while 10 COM
maud of this city. One OF these is
on the base of the equestrian bronze
statue of Gen. ackson. One morn
ing, when the curses of the people
were loudesE and deepest, a stone
Gutter, guarded by file of soldiers,
was in command of jackson Square
commencing work with his chisel.
No one knew in what way he was
about to desecrate the monument of
the hero Of New Orleans, and each
letter was watched as it appeared on
the base until that declaration which
mad him famous-'The Union must
and shall be preserved was spelled
out by the indignant people. A short
time afterwards tho same workman,
similarity guarded, approached the
bronz monument of Henry Clay, on
Canal street, and soon was cut deep
and distinct 10 the granite block, i'm
mediately under the foot Of the
statue, the following from one Of
the greatest speeches of the Ken
lucky statesman: "If l could be
instrumental IN eradicating this deep
stain-slavery-from the character
of my country, | would OF exchange
the proud satisfaction whichjl should
enjoy for al the triumphs ever achiev-
ed by the most successful conqueror."
Little did those who erected these
monuments ever expect to see such
inscriptions upon them; but, although
they CRASHED their teeth at the time,
they now regard the inscriptions as
not altogether out of place, in view
of the changes that have been wrought
by fraternal war. The people have
got used to them, and now laugh at
these grim jokes of the erratic But

The HER A Id.
Won't Shake.

The bond of union between secret
societies. which was severed by the
late rebellion has been reunited, ana
members of the mystic circle, both
North and South, hail each others as
brothers. While this is true OF So
cieties not bound by monastic ties,
it is little singular that an organ,
lied body.of christian believers shall
still have ranking in their bosoms
the preiudices engendered by the late
war. The Methodist Church, the most
powerful religious denomination IN
the United States, is divided by Ma
son aud Dixon's line, the South bali
arraying themselves in hostile attl-
tude against the North. Strenuous
efforts have been made on the part
of those of the North to bring about
a union of forces, but most unaVall-
ing in their nature, as those OF the
South refuse to accept of the most
concilatory terms. The General
Conference of the NJ. E. Church
South. assembled at Louisville, NY,
not long since, and from their delIo-
erations we are led to believe that
the gap is to be widened still further
and deeper. A delegate offered q
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of committee of seven to as
certain and report upon what church
edifces, parsonages, school-buildings,
and other property are held, kept'
and claimed by the Methodist Epis-
copaI Church in violation of the
rights of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, and under what cir
cumstances the Methodist Episcopal
Church obtained possession of such
property.
Were these chivalrous clergymen
to throw off the garb of ranking
prejudices and bitter luminosity, and
don the garment of true christian
charity, by clasping hands over the
"bloody chasm," it would be far more
in keeping with their profession, and
would not fail to enhance the cause
Of Christ as well as the interest OF
the great Methodist Church. Gdten0
