which they haven't got, for hack,
which they don't need, and suffer the
sings and arrowso Of ever.recurring hack
bills, or take up arms against the fash

the rub, for in that ride how great ex-
peuses incurred when they have shuffled

into stubborn facts from out the airy
world Of gaiety. There's the respect
that makes calamity Of balls and things,
for who would bear the whips and scorns
OF time, the proud girls contumely, the
toilets delay, the psngs OF untold love
and all the ills that social life is heir to,
but that the dread Of something after
balls the hsckmens bill, from whose
tight grip no traveller escapes, puzzles
the will and makes us rather e. alone
snd risk the euehre than fly to dangers
that We too gell wot Of. Thus hack bills

hearing it read then with such infuriate

The Troubles of a sOmuambuIist

The Troubles of HOm mnambuIist.
Mortimer j. Loomis, says Max Adeler,
is now one of the most violent of the
denunciators of railroad monopolies
Since his last adventure on the cars he
hates railroad worse than an Arrspa-
hoe Indian hates bald-hesded Shaker.
Loomis has fits Of somnambuism occa-
sionAlly, and at such times he has an
uncomfortable tendency to wander into
dangerous places. More than once he
has been surprised, upon waking, to fud
himself roosting on the comb Of the root,
or hanging head foremost down the we'll,

ago, and when he entered the sleeping
car the thought struck him that he might
get to proWling about during the night
while asleep, and walk off the platform
into the better world So he went to the
brakeman and gave him dollar, with
strict instructions that if be saw him
walking around that car in his sleep to
sezs him and force him back at
all hazards. Then Loomis turned
in. About two o'clock Loomis
awoke, and IS the air OF the car seemed
sitting, he determined to go ont on the
platform for a fresh breath or two. Just as
he got TO the door that vigilant brakeman
saw him, grabbed him, aoored him and
held him down When Loomis'recover

Lemme get up. | tell you; I'm as wide
awake as you are But that myrmidon

knee on Loomis' breast and insisted that
Loomis was asleep; and then he called
another brakeman, and after terrific
struggle, during which Loomis received
bumps and blows enough to wake an
Egyptian mummy that had been dead
or SIX thousand years, the railroad man
jammed him into a BERTH put a trunk
and eight carpet bags on him, and then
sat on him to hold him down till morn
ing The first thing Mr.. Loomis asked
for when he arrived in Pittsburg was a
respectable hospital, where they cured
the temporarily insane. He thinks his
reason was partially dethroued by his
effort to comprehend how that brakeman
could have the face to ask him for
another dollar because of the trouble
Loomis gave him during the night.

A Very Proper Correction.

The New Orleans reporter of the Asso.
oiated Press, on Friday, sixth instant, copied
in his dispatches an article from the Even
ing Picay.nc regarding the appropriation
hill. which contained statement hurtful
to the public interests. The matter was at
once brought to the attention of the chief
editor of the Picayune, who promptly Or
dered the report suppressed in the morning
edition. Mr. Mcdaniel 'thereupon sent the
following corrections:
New ORLEANS, March 7.-The editorial
teIegraphed from Yesterdays evening Pea
yxxe. regarding the appropriation bill, was
suppressed. and did not appear IN the
morning edition The Times, REPUBLICAN,
Bee and German Gazette, all report appro-
PRESTON bill pa.sed the House The pas
sage of the bill seems to be generally con-
ceded, otherwise an extra session of the
Legislature would be called. Senator An
derson. one of the Senate co mnittee, who
was near the Speakers desk " hen the me-
ton was made to adopt the Senate amend
ments to the appropriation bill. gives it as
his opinion that at least two thlrde OF the
members voted aye. Governor Kellogg,
who was also present, concurs in the views
of Mr.. Anderson, and the Speaker declared
the bill adopted.

The Treaty Of Peace with the Ashnntecs.
LONDON, March 1.-The Daily Ne,cs and
Telegraph give the following accurate 40
count OF the treaty of peace with tho
Ashantees:
The King agrees to pay to Great Britain
war indemnify of $4,000 ounces of gold; re-
nounces all claim to Adsansi. ASSN, Dem
kera, Akin and Wassaw; withdraws mis-
forces from the parts Of the coast belong
ing to or under the prOtectOrate of Great
Britain; undertakes to maintain q good
road from COOmassie to the Prah river. and
to protect merchandise transported over
said road; will prohibit human sacrifices,
and swears perpetual peace with England.
General Wolsley does not expect the en-
tire amount of the indemnity will be paid,
but regards the other stipulations of vastly
greater Importance, and more likely to be
adhered to. The garrison will be main
tanned by the British at Prahsua.
The latest dispatches trom the Ashantee
expedition state that The British loss in the
