DOak's Farewell to she General As
sembly-A Proclamation from the
wild and Pole Cat Commissioners.
The following extraordinary document
reached us per mail yesterday, with orders
to ''charge to expense account
PROCLAMATION.-W Whereas, tie present
Legislature has signally failed to retrench
anything save John Helms, Neil S. Brown,
jr., Frank A. Moses, and the porter; and
whereas, it Ectler temperance n0r in
Temperance, neither glOriously rieh. nor
damnably wrong; and whereas, each Of
eight members out Of ter, c0nceives himself
to be All Andrew johnson in disguise;
and whereas, it has signally failed
10 make money grow Oh trees;
and whereas, nevertheless, it was idiot
enough TO try 1t; and, whereas, it went
as,ray after and formed a criminal intimacy
with the seductive Gibson, until the few
stray hairs upon its juvenile poll, like
SIMPSONS, were shOEn OF, leaving it entire
" sBatchsd-bala headed; and, whereas, it
finally eliminated its iniquities in caucus,
contrary to the teachings Of a. j. and the
Memphis AUGidncbe; and, whereas, in the
absence Of its protecting bell-wetber, Glib
son, said House did cut many peculiar and
unusual shines and perform many antics,
political gyrations and aCrobstics; and,
whereas, its progress up the caucus spout
in the absence Of Gibson was highly illus
trative Of the monkeys feat in climbingu up
the pole, in which
f'The higher he goes
The more he'll expose"
Therefore, Gen. Handy, commander Of
the Pole Cat Division Of the w. * p. @. A,
will evapOrate the present Legislature
within FIVE days from the date Of this order.
To retrench and reform in the matter Of
funeral expenses, lie will be as careful Of
the lives Of the members as possible.
Should any fall, however, he will have
them preserved in spirits or whatever
fluids may be convenient at the time.
Should resistance be made, he will slaught-
er and compost the entire cOnfraternity,
except Gibson, who will remain at the
capitol and legislate, having shown him
self fully competent to the task Of rerench-
ment, reform and leadership, legislation
craftsmanship, finance, ways and means
etc, etc, etc, etc,
Gen. Handy viii march on the Capitol
in inverted order, rear in front. He will
then grant a furlough Of 100 days to his
cats assuring them Of the grateful thanks Of
their countrymen and the afectiOnate re-
membrance Of their general.

The three prisoners, one white and two
cOlOred, in the Camden, Benton county
jail, attempted TO cut their way ont Of that
Institution last Friday night, by filing of
the heads of the bolts which fastened on
the lock. Jailer Totty heard a strange
noise and discovered the cause in time TO
prevent the escape. He then went behind
the bars TO search the inmates Of the jail
for the lile they had used. The white man
sWOre he could not be searched and posi-
lively refused to pull of his boots. Jailer
Totty told him if he did not obey lie would
be handcufIed. This riled the prisoner,
and picking up q large stick, he was on the
point OF going for the jailer, when DepeUty
Jaiier AtchesOn presented q pistol in his
face, which quieted him down consIdera-
bly,. He was then searched and a file
about six inches long found upon his per-
son. It is thodght the file was brought to
him by his wife, and the jailer has prohib-
tied her from visiting the iail.

WHAT WILL COME OF 1T!
An Apple Of Discord in the 1Eidst OF a
Mite society.

An Apple Of DiscOEd in the lEidSf Of a
Mite Society.
There is a bit Of a rumpus in the Fair
field Mite Society, which has an active
membership Of about seventy persons. It
has been understood that the principal OBJ
jet OF the society is TO raise funds for the
benefit OF the Sunday school. There is at
present about $50 in the hands Of the treas
ureC The disturbance is brought about
by the fact that some of the members are
in favor Of taking the amount now in the
treasury TO give a bran dance and picnic,
while the other portion contend that
it should be appropriated for the
use Of the Sunday school. At
the meeting Of the society about a week
since, the advocates Of the picnic had the
asceudancy, and resolution to spend the
money in this way was carried. A com
mitte5 was appointed to wait on the treas
urer and demand the funds, but she re-
fused 70 surrender them. A meeting of
the society was held Monday night, the
Suntay-schOOl party meeting al one place,
and the picnic party at another. The
former adopted 4 resolution eXPelling the
absent members, among whom were the
Vice President and Secretary.
One member took the floor to pass some
remarks Of Censure on the expelled mem
hers, when the dissenting party put in an
appearance in a body. However, the
speaker continued his remarks, at the con-
clUsiOn Of which a resolution was adopted
requesting the Treasurer to surrender the !
funds into the hands of the Sunday-schOOl |
party, but thas official determined to hold |
on TO them till the quarrel was definitely /
settled.
1t is said those in favor Of giving q pic |
mic will bring suit for the amount in the |
claiming that it had been apprO- |
priated for that purpose by majority Of the |
in attendance at the meeting a /

meet next Monday night, when a lively
discussion may be expected.

How He Got His Dinner.

A day or two since clerk in one of
the telegraph Offices in town, being the
last to leave for his dinner, found the
door locked as is usual, but, as is not
usual. discovered he had left his key in
another coat pocket two or three
blocks away at his hotel. The win
dows were two stories up, and he did
not exactly see the point of an exit
that way. And every minute his din
er was growing cold ard his temper
correspondingly hot. He ratified the
door, tried to pick the lock with a
shingle nail and repeated softly to HIM
self choice extracts from profane his
tory, but there he staid, and relief
seemed appallingly remote Did he
wait there till his brother clerks re-
turned from their seven courses, from
soup to doughnuts, to let him out? Not
he. An idea struck him, and the I'M
preston left bore its fruits. He tel
egraphed to St. Thomas, Canada, had
it repeated to Detroit, Mich, whence
it was returned, according to accom-
panying instructions, to the Atlantic
and Pacific office here on Main street,
the result of which was to send a boy
up to his room after the key and down
to his office to release him. He was
in time for ner.-BHa(o Courier.

Important to FOreign-b0rn Citi-
ZenS

It is mistake to suppose that young
man coming to this country and remain
ing here five years before he becomes
of age, becomes entitled OF citizenship
thereby.
It is a mistake to suppose that if the
parent declares bis intention to become
a citizen, that entities his children un-
der 21 years Of age, to their rights Of
suffrage on arriving at their majority.
1t is mistake to suppose that an
alien becomes entitled to vote if he has
served in the army three years, or any
length Of time.
If foreign born citizen obtains his
full naturalization paper, that fact en-
titles his children to all the rights of
citizenship on thier arriving at age; a
mere declaration to become citizen
does not give his children any addition
al rights.
A person of foreign birth who came
to this country under Is years of age,
may make out his full naturalization
papers at any term of court, after he
has been in this country five years
without making previous declaration
So may person who has served in
the army three years take out full ma
turalization papers without h aving made
a previous declaration of intention to
become a citizen.
Bearing these facts in mind and act
ing upon the suggestions, may save
many people, especially young men, a
good deal of trouble about voting in
some States, and as to rights of proper
ty In others.

The DaShaWays.

The most successful temperance or
ganization in California is that of the
Dashaways. It is entirely independent,
having no connection with any of the
large orders. It was founded at an
early dste in the history Of San Fran
cisco by knot of volunteer fremen of
precisely the same type as those who
once iran with the machine" and
manned the brakes in New York. Be-
oming disgusted themselves after pro-
longeu spree, they made sudden re-
solve to "dash away the cup from
thier lips, and an engine house thus de-
veloped the nucleus of the present So
ciety. Their association is one of mu-
tual benefit, and grants financial aid to
SICK members. They own large hall. a
most lucrative piece of property, in
great demand for public purposes, and
have founded Home for the Inebri-te,
while their Sunday evening meetings
for a period of fifteen years have been
sustained with uncommon interest and
vigor. This is chiefly owing to the
fact that their Sunday evening plat
form is open to speakers on all topics
except politics and theology. 1t is
sought and occupied by leading physi-
clans, lawyers, journalists, and gentle.
men devoted to special pursuits
There is always press of such volun.
teer speakers, and able ones, too
There is musical entertainment oeou
