NJ. Sherman, after q two hours
weep inthe London City Temple, began to sing
Should my tears forsrsr now,
ty-stander whose dinner had bean waiting for
him for Il least an hour cried out " ny gracious
goodnsss nop Mr.. shearnaR must come back
or he WIN DO himself Issting injury. That
fountain head wont bear centennial strain
long and how the deacon wosld look entirely
dried up" ------
When public opinion fsyors, add the CIR
cumstances OF the case warrant Il, Mr.. John
Red Cloud, ESQ.,, and Deacon Spotted Tail,
with their long train of followers, will be
gathered into cars and carried to the Indian
Territory to spend the remaining days of theiI
fading existence. They may whoop defiant
"No" now, but it wfll be Yes /" then, with
no alternative.
- Since the introduction Of those handsome
basket collins in London, the people turn up
heir nose at cremation, and seem anxious to
climb into one Just for the effect. There are one

effect would be splendid provided 1t were last
ing. One is tuneful infant and the other is q
man who throws his boots at his wife before
the sun rises every morning. It gets monoto-
Us you KIN for the idiot never thinks of the
boot-ia and wash bowl for change.
Some premature gusher OF Lancaster In
vites JEFF Davis to lecture there and in the In
fkatto ho &C Ia
home of the late Hon. Thaddeus Stevens, and
was one of his warm friends, yet you need not
fear of being well and courteously treated"
IF the late Thaddeus Stevens, notwithstsnd-
ing his open hearted love for humanity and
liberal ideas, were alive and could conveniently
get his clump foot underneath that "wsrm
friendss' coat-tail be would probably impress
him in more ways than one that he is mis-
taken.
- The Times, with It's two big liquor shops
and it's gambling pin-pool, continues to abuse
the Tribune for having lager beer saloon in
its cellar. People should know that this Is the
worst recorded case of the pot calling the
kettle black. 1t would be safe to bet that for
each glass of spirituous liquor sold during the
day in the Tribune building gallon is sold in
the Tiples liquor shops, the profits thereon as
surely accruing to the owners of the Times as
the profits of the other accrue to the owners
of the Tribune. Hypocrisy is the homage vice
pays to virtue
The New York Herald says: "If Jefferson
Davis is an unwelcome guest at Northern
agricultural fair, then no other Southerner
who fought in the war can be welcomed"
This is = mistake. To the great mass of the
Southern people who were fired by the wild
and passionate harangues Of political dems-
gogues to pull down the old flag and destroy
the Union, we extend the hand of fellowship
and welcome. But to men like Davis and
Raphael Semmes, we say with determined
emphasis, s'take back and retired seat, for you
have been weighed in the balance and found
wanting"
Samuel Cary prides himself in being 70
General, but when the truth Is known that he
is simply = general political and public nui-
sance, mingled with just enough humbug to
make him ridiculous, 1t puzzles the people to
see why he should be proud about Is.
Obi lullaby rag money Baby, my dear,
Billy Allen rosrs loud when election Is near.
When election shall come all your stufnng shall
fall.
And down will come Billy, Rag baby. and all.
And when they are down, the baby will squeal.
Ryssup, Psppy Allen, and give me meal.
OIL give me once more Of your gaseous pap,
Then lay me TO slumber In your venerable lap.
But Billy I'll DO mad, and hen look at the
child,
And looking . moment, grow terribly Wild;
You've blasted my prospects, and ruined my
nfe
I'll bust in your nOddls, and thus end the
strife"
And the child won't get to Judgment much
Before William comes out for hard money either.
Governor Chamberlain, of South Caro-
lima, having temporarily sbsented himself
from the State, on q visit to New England,
L lieutenant Governor Gleaves, colored, acting
as Governor, committed the sentence of .
coloIed man named Gibbs from hanging for
murder, to that of twenty years imprison-
ment for robbery. The Governor, upon his
return, appealed ty letter to the Judge who
passed the sentence, repudiating the action Of
Gleaves as illegal and unwarrantable, al
though acknowledging that he was ignorant
of the evidence upon which the Communication
was made, and invoking his good Offices in
rectifcation of the blunder, and judicial de-
termination of the authority and powers of
the Lieutenant-G Governor when acting in the
Gubernatorial capacity. In response to thi
letter Glesves writes that he has no doubt of
his full power to act as Executive, and ex-
tend the clemency of the Office In such emer-
gencies as the one named. He AYERS that he
forwarded the documentary evidence on which
the sentence was committed to the Executive
office as soon as he heard of the Governors
return, and that Il consisted Of the confession
Of Smith, an sccomplice Of Gibbs, taking the
blame of the murder entirely upon himself,
and adding that Gibbs knew nothing about It.,
as they went simply to rob. and having
Effected that purpose, Gibbs had left with
the booty. After this, Smith engaged in q
quarrel with his victim, Mr.. Garety, and
killed him. Smith was hanged, and Gibbs
still lives. Gleayes thinks he was, for the
time, clothed with all the powers inherent in
the Executive office and, he is no doubt right
