but not so large as was generally expected.

A GENTLEMAN from Montana dined
in Philadelphia recently, and in letter
to a New York friend, described the
event. He said: After all that fine
dinner they brought in some glass
bowls, with water and a piece of lemon
in each. L suppose it was lemonade;
and as we had been drinking many kinds
Of wine 1 was glad of it, for l was
thirsty. But when | went to taste it
/ found it so sour that l asked for su-
gar. The ladies appeared to me to be
smiling at something, but scarcely
knew what. Afterwards | was told
they were finger bowls to rinse ones
hands in. But, John, nobody washed
washed their hands after l drank my
lemonade. l call that thoughtful,
don't you?"

imitation of prices, and flush times, and all
that; while now he is for the emission OF
greenbacks, when there is no public necessity,
because they will make imitation and flush
times, and all that. Mr.. Pendleton's motto
is: "Millions of greenbacks for initiation in
peace, but not one cent for defense in war

White League Conn d, Etat.

Alter the events which have transpired In
New Orleans the past three days. there can
be no doubt but that the White Leagues of
Louisiana were organized for war and that
they have begun their work in dead earnest,
1t is impossible to evade the conclusion that
civil war already exists in Louisiana, and that
an armed rebellion has succeeded in oyerawing
the recognized state government. At present
it is not question of the legality of the
Kellogg government, or whether or not it is
corrupt and bad. 1t has been recognized by
the federal government, and if it is allowed
to be overthrown by an armed force, the
vicious precedent will be followed by several
other states already within the range of civil
war. There is, then, but one course for the
national government to pursue, and that is to
put down the instruction at whatever cost.
The merits of the question must be put aside
until the recognized authorities are restored.
A state government cannot long exist which
permits league of men to demand of the
properly constituted officers that they abdi-
cate, and then murder them, as was done
at Conshatta; and all government will be
overthrown if an organized force can at any
time, force state officers to abdicate, and set
up another in its stead. The Mexican policy
cannot be tolerated in the United States.
Fortunately for the nation, it has man at
its head who has both nerve and discretion.
and who will be equal to the great emer-
gency.

ST. LOUIS is wrestling with the question
"should the son of city official be published
if guilty?" The cause for the query is that
the son of the city collector ran muck
through the streets the other day clad in very
scant attire and flourishing large knife. A
policeman caught up with him and with many
soft words finally persuaded him to put up his
knife and put on more clothing This the
young man consented to do, and was even
kind enough to consider himself under ar
rest. The police officer endeayored to sun-
press the publication of the affair, but the
Globe insisted that it was the property of the
public, and that nomore consideration sbonld
be extended to the son of wealthy and in
fuentlal man than to the son of the poorest
laborer in st. Louis.

BARON Pigott has recently given de-
cision from the English bench which has
Disguised the doctors very much indeed.
The son of one of the sect Of peculiar
People" was taken sick. In accordance
with the principles of the sect, the father
refused to call in physician, but sent for
the elders to pray over and anoint the son.
The boy died, and the physicians in the
neighborhood procured the arrest of the ia
ther on the charge of manslaughter, claiming
that he had willfully neglected to procure ga
necessary, they held physician to
be. Baron Pigott discharged the man, rul-
ing that he had done right according to his
lights, and that the medical art had not
reached perfection in which the mere alb
sence of physician established charge of
manslaughter. If this decision is sustained
the peculiar People" bid fair to become
very popular sect. 1t will be so convenient
to have conscientious scruples against calling
in doctor when some hated m ember of the
household lies sick.
