We have loaned our roosters and our hens and
our big guns and our old tanner torch lights, and
the whole menagerie, to our neighbors of the
Standard. We do so because we suppose they
are now socks of the walk" The precious BAN
tams gave an unearthly "squack" and their tail
feathers dropped as the once proud birds were
borne Oft into the democratic camp. We know
that they will never appear to us in the columns
Of the Standard just as they did beneath the head
line: in the journal. But before the departure of
the illustrious cocks there was queer expression
in the eyes of the old rooster that had strutted so
many times with grace at the head Of our columns.
While tear coursed down the old birds red crop,
he lifted the foot on which was a mighty talon,
stretched out his wings and looked significantly
he.venward, as much as to say, that though now
tlsfsated for time, the proud bird shall rise again
to glorious victory!

The Lecture Course.

Inc Lecture Course
The lecture committee will announce in few
days the of lectures to be given in this city
the ensuing winter. 1t is to be opened by George
Dawson, the well known English lecturer who is
as well known in England as Wendell Phillips is
in our own country. One of the rarest treats
which mind of ordinary intelligence can enjoy is
to hear Mr.. Dawson ,ectGfe. He caa combine
amusement and instruction as no other profession
al platform orator can. His efforts to amuse never
degenerate into buffoonery. His moral is always
obvious, never ostentatious and is as far removed
as can be from goody -goodyism. His discourses
are intellectual toncs He deals with subjects in
practical way, never making his audience feel
their ignorance and want Of talent by parade of
erudition and profundity; never exciting merri-
nent without making those who laugh aware that
they also have weak points in their armor; and
always detecting, and indeed, if anything, magni-
flying the grain ofgold in the dross Of humanity
even if the grain be Of the tniest and the dross of
the drossiest. The most ignorant can understand
him, the humblest need not suffer from the stings
and arrows Of his sarcasm, the highest and wsest
will go away prcked in their conscience if touch
Of nature has made them akin with that portion of
the world on which he spends his severity And
yet, although Mr.. Dawsons attraction consists
both in his manner and his matter, it is difficult to
describe his very peculiar peculiarites. He is
simplicity itself. If there is anything to which he
objects it is to platform conventualitiesto chair
men and votes of thanks.

Arsenal of Virginia, and the Augusta Arsenal Of
Georgia be retained as places for storage and re-
pairs. He recommends the sale of the Allegheny

chase of site and the erection of building for
