Special Dispatch to Tho Chicago Tribune.
WARRINGTON, D. O., April 26.-And now even
the so-called newspapers OF Washington City arc
beginning to acknowledge the gravity Of tho
proceedings before tho District Investigation
Committee last week. The National Kepubticdn
showed disposition to hedge to-day. Tho

The Chronicle, indeed, asserts that it never
Vas satisfied with the present form OF govern
ment and plumns itself with being the initiator
Of the great reform movement.

loved to exist in the District, discovering that
the ship ia In sinking condition, prepares to de-
bark in tho following manner:

RESISTING THE EVIL ONE. Al
acamp meeting,uot long ago, man
clad in a thin linen suit, seated him
self on one of the rickety benches
beside fat man who occupied fully
one-third of the concern.
When the services were ended
the fat man arose, and the gentle
man in thin linen suddenly began
twisting about in surprising man.

nificant of mortal agony.
His actions attracted the atten.
ton of the brethren, and one of
them, solemn visaged individual,
who looking as though he had just
swallowed pill, approached the
writhing body, and laid his hand on
the mans shoulder and said
"Brother, if you are resisting the
promptings of the Evil One, strive
manfully, and you will triumph at
last, Remember that Jacob wrestl.

the agOnized man; "but if Jacob

critter."

TO ~ TW rner.

A fisherman was Tom by trade;
He slept on briny planks;
And, though not rich, he often made
A run upon the banks.
On fish he lived from day to day
Fish caught by his own hand
And when he did not land his prey,
lie did not praise the land.
When he had seen shoal of shad,
Their struggles were in vain;
The fish might hop around like mad,
And soon they were in seine.
He led II happy life; content.
He never thought to roam
And every day he fishing went.
And brought his net gains home.
Tom loved u girl, SO tall and slim,
The fairest in the town;
But Sal would not take up with him,
So he was taken down.
By passions power now racked and worn
He called on Sal, swain forlorn,
Led on by Loves suggestion.
He found that she was popping corn,
And so he popped the question.
She was the sweetest girl in town,
And playful as a kitten
For her Tom threw the gauntlet down
And she gave him the mitten.
Then Tom was mad! He kicked lad
His heart was sad ! His head was bad
His language was still bladder!
And he who once had lived on shad
Soon faded to shadder.
To be II man he swore to try;
He left that town of woe
He went out West to do or die;
He met an Indian six feet high
OF course it was not Lo!
An Indian saw the Yankee small;
The Yankee saw the Sioux
At once they knew that one must fall
AT once they both fell to.
The Indian struck a mighty blow;
BY Toms good luck it missed the foe;
The Indian was forlorn.
Tom tried the lndisn to lay lOw
Tom dropped II rock upon his toe.
And crushed his Indian corn
The Indian paused: this blow was rude
Had caused him great solicitude
He thought he would no more intrude;
He thought he'd fly. if none pursued
The white man next he slyly viewed,
And began to beller.
Tom deemed all Indians copper-hued,
But this one proved yeller.
Tom seized a log to make thrust,
To lay the Indian in the dust
The Indian ran away
So swift he cut his stick he must
Have been Chip-away.
And thus was fought and won the fight,
In which Tom took great pride:
Then home he went to Sally bright,
An won her for his bride;
But Oh that night his hair turned white,
And staid so till he died.

himself, and Barnaby closed the
iron doors on Titus without one com.
passionate moment. There was a
narrowing lack Of "responsivenAss''
about the lookup. 1t was cold,
damp and cobwebby. All night till
the morning light, Rev. Titus pac
ed up and down his narrow cell, try.
ing to make good use of the oc.
casion by professionally carving out
the simile of IL man confined in Jail,
and mankind in the sin darkened-
prison of the world. When at nine
o'clock the next morning, Barnaby
brought his prisoners breakfast, 10
by the morning light, he found not
the burglar of yesterday afternoon
at all.
"Go for deacon Clapp," whisper
ed Titus, unable to speak aloud.
Rarnaby brought the deacon. The
deacon carried his parson home in
his close carriage, and the affair was
hushed up amoung the heavy pew
owners.
But the cold which Titus had
caught produced a severe attack of
pneumonia and bronchitis combln.
ed. Polite took care of him, and
he greatly endeared himself to his
people by the meekness and pa
tience with which he bore his sick
ness. When convalescing, he one
day remarked: So many snares
and pitfalls. are set for the unwary
in this world, Polite, and there is
such a general uncertainty about
everything earthly, that 1 feel we
ought not delay our union until
Christmas. 1 think no offense
would be given the parish, and l
think Mollie and Dollie, if they
could speak, wonld approve, if we
should be united in October.
And they were united in October.

One of the least flattering tributes

One of the least flattering tributes
ever paid to a rising young artist,
has been paid to Cincinnati daub-
er by a Western critic: "He pos
sesses some merit as an artist, but
it is hard to say whether it lies in
landscape or marine painting; you
never can tell his cows from his
ships, except when they have their
tails exalted, when the absence of
spars betrays their character. Even
then they may be mistaken for
schooners scudding under bare
poles."

FreemasOnry.

The following extracts will clearly
define freemasonry. They are from
the best authorities upon that an
cient and honorable institution. Ex
tracts from other great lights Of
freemasonry could be given if space
would admit. If we expect to keep
it pure we must look to the charac.
ter of the man to be made mason,
and should undergo the strictest
scrutiny. "He must be man of
strict morality he must be humane
benevolent, and charitable to his
fellow creature; he must be no gam
bier, tippler, or profane swearer
he must be no railer against the re-
ligion of Christ, or the professors
thereof; he must be lover of de-
cency and order; and he must be
strictly honest, industrious, and up
right in all his conduct; for such as
delight in the practice of vice are a
disgrace to civil society, and are sci :
dom reformed by the most excellent
institutions. They retain vices un,
changeable as the skin of the ETH
opian or the spots of the leopard"
"FreemasOnry is an institution
calculated to benefit mankind."-
Andreao Jackson.
"Freemasonry is a beautiful sys-
TEN of morality, vailed in allegory,
and illustrated by symbols."-Hem-
ming.
"The grand object of Masory is
to promote the happiness of the hu.
man race."- Washington.
"The precepts of the Gospel were
universally the obligations of Ma
sonry."-Rev. DR.. Russel.
"a Mason's Lodge is a school of
piety. The principal emblems are
the teachers."-Reu. DR.. Norval.
"Freemasonry is an order whose
leading star is philanthrophy, and
whose principles inculcate an un-
ceasing devotion to the cause of
virtue and morality."-LG Fayette.
"From the origin to the present
hour, in all the yicissitudes, Mason
ry has been the steady, unvarying
friend of man."-Rev. Eyastus Burr.
''Its lasos are reason and equity;
its principles benevolence and love;
and its religion purity and truth;
and it's intention is peace on earth;
and it's disposition goodwill toward
man."-Rev. T. NJ. Harris.
"Freem asonry is an establish
ment founded on the benevolent in
tentiOn of extending and comforting
mutual happiness upon the best and
truest principles of moral life and
social virtue."-Calcott.
~ have ever felt it my duty to
support and encourage the princi.
