NEW WORDS TO AN OLD SONG,
BY Z. B. t.

Long time ago there lived maid,
her name was Susie b,
And when told her of my love,
Sine said that she loved me.
She was dreadful little fiirt,
You could see it in her eye;
And when asked her for her hand,
She simply said-"GoOd-bye."
Goodbye. the little darling said,
Twas the only thing | heard;
And when we parted at the gate,
She was singing like bird.
j thought 'twould break my heart at first
She deemed it perfect bliss,
And when she saw me going of,
She cried, "Give me kiss"
Each day since then ! thought I'd go
And ask her, what meant his
OF flirting with f. how so,
Then asking for kiss.
But IL abe still insists on one,
I'll give it sure as fate,
And after having lots of fun.

Dead Heads at Theatres.
A SHOW AGENT APPROVES OF THE gAGLE's
COURSE.

A SHOW AGENT APPROVES OF THE BAGLE's s
COURSE.
The Reading Eagle has adopted the
right course toward beggars for puffs.-
In nine cases out of ten the newspaper
is the loser by the dead head " system,
and it should he stopped, and all puffs
be classed with special advertisements.
There are entirely too many travelling
theatricals. They carry entirely too
much money from the small cities, where
none Of them can afford to reside. The
Eagle says: Mr.. M. Levitt, agent of a
show company, visited the Eagle office
and introduced himself. Said he hoped
the Eagle would not forget to give his
company local notice that evening"
The agent was but transactng his bust
ness after his own style, and which has
been the custom for years past. He was,
however, politely told that the Eagle had
discontinued putting, and that no local
notices of his or any other company
could be inserted in advance. The ad-
vertising department is the proper place
for that business. "Well, but yon r :
ceived tickets, did you not 2" said he
No, sir; We decline all tickets, and
when we want any buy them, the same
as anybody else who pays for his admis-
sion,' was the answer. 80" said the
agent, THAT is perfectly fair and
square business transaction, and | like
your paper all the better for it,.

A disastrous crevasse is reported in the
Bass levee, at Point Lookout, Louisiana
1t is mile wide, and the damage done
by it, according to New Orleans esti.
mates, will reduce the cotton crop sent
to that city by 10000 bales. A crevas.e
on the Mississippi side threatens to de.
vastate three counties. Another ere
vase near Friar's Point, Miss, causes
great alarm among the planters. At

A Post Trader Gives Babeock $1,000
Another Charge Against Scheme.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Mr. Rey,
nolds, of the firm of Lee, Reynolds g.
Co. post traders at Camp Supply, |. T.,
is to be examined to morrow concern
ing the charge that his firm paid large
sums for the privilege of trading at
Camp Supply. A leading Congress
nah says that he has positive proof
that $1,000 was sent to General Bal
cock in one enclosure, and if Reynolds
denies it, the Congressman will put
we'll Known gentleman on the stand to
contradict his testimony and substan'
tiate the charge in every particular.
Mr.. Reynolds has been long time
on the road, and his testimony and the
corroborative evidence to accopany it
are considered highly important.
A member of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs says the Committee
have evidence before it going to show
that while Schenck was Chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee he
received 5000 and stock for his ser
vices in getting bill passed by the
House for the benefit of Colorado
immigration and land scheme. The
proof is understood to consist of docu-
mentary evidence alleged to be over
Schenck's own signature.

Cutting ID o 20 ~ the Presidential
Salary The Veto Message of
the President.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-In the SEN
ate, Immediately after the journal of
yesterdays proceeding was read, the
Chair laid before the Senate the fol-
lowing message:
To the Senate of the United States:
Herewith / return Senate bill No.
172, entitled can act fixing the salary
of the President of the United States"
without my approval. | am constrained
to this course from a sense Of duty to
my successors in office, to myself, and
to what is due to the dignity of the po-
sition of Chief Magistrate of nation
Of more than 40 ,G0e, 600 of people.
When the salary of the President of
the United States was fixed by the Con-
stitution at 825, 600 per annum, we
were nation of but 3,000,0e0 of peo-
pie, poor from long and exhaustive
war, without commerce or maniac
lures, with but few wants, and those
cheaply supplied. The salary must
then have been deemed small for the
responsibilities and dignity of the po-
sltion, but justiiably SO from the i'm
povcrished condition of the Treasury,
and the simplicity 1t was desired to
cultivate in the Republic.
The salary of congressman, under
the Constitution, was first fixed at Sc
per day for the time actually in session
all average of about 1870 days to each
session, or $720 per year, or less than
one thirtieth of the salary of the Presi-
dent. Congress have legislated upon
their own salaries from time to time
since, until finally it reached S., ZOO
per annum, or one fifth that of the
President, before the salary of the lat.
ter was increased.
No one having knowledge of the
cost of living at the nation capital will
contend that the present salary OF
Congressman is too high, unless it il
the intention to make the office entire
ly one of honor, when the salary should
be abolished-a proposition repugnant
to cur republican ideas and institu-
tions.
do not believe the citizens of this
republic desire their public servants to
serve them without fair compensa,
tion for their services, $25, 900 does
not defray the expenses of the Execu-
tive for one year. or has net, in my
experience. 1t is not now one fifth in
value what it was when fixed by the
constitution, in supplying demands
and wants,
Having no personal interest in this
matter, have felt myself free to re-
tvrn this bill TO the house in which it
originated, with my objections, believ-
ing that in doing so meet the wishes
and judgment of the great majority oil
those who indirectly pay all the salar-
les and other expenses of the Govern
ment. U. 8. GRANT.
Executive Mansion, April 19, 1876
On motion of MIR. Clayton, it was
ordered that the message be printed
and referred to the Committee on Civil
Service and Retrenchment.

From the World.
When the St. Louis jury rendered
the verdict of acquittal on the charge
against Babcock, prominent Republi-
cans, some of whom held official posi-
tions, made great haste in sending con-
gratulatory dispatches. The efforts to
secure that verdict were unprecedented
Since that result, Notwithstanding the
numerous dispatches, Babcock has not
been sleeping on bed of roses
Pierrepont, to save himself, charged
that Babcock stole his letter relative
to witnesses and made it public. Grant
under force of public opinion, was
compelled to dismiss him from the po-
sition OF private secretary, and now
Babcock is indicted as one of the ori'
ginel conspirators in the famous safe
burglary case. The last accusation is
worse than the first In view of these
developments, some of the congratula-
tory dispatches over the result of the
whiskey fraud trial will be interesting

The names of Hon, Franklin Landers

minated for Governor, and l. p. Gray
for Lieutenant Governor. A platform

THE TWIECHELL CASE,
The TTid0sC's Money G0bOLcd am bv
the LdsCycrs.

In the Court of Common Pleas. be-
fore Judge Briggs, in Philadelphia,
case was tried which recalls to mind
the murder of Mrs. Hill by her SON
in-law some years ago. 1t is thus re-
ported in yesterdays Phira papers:
r. G. McMurtrie, Trustee &C., vs..
Camilla Z. Twitchell.-A action on
q mortgage of $40, 600 upon the premi.
ses northeast corner OF Tenth and Pine
streets. Before reported. The defence
averred that the mortgage which was
given by Mrs. Twitchell in Moyamen-
and by him assigned to John O'Byrne,
ESQ.,, was merely given to the latter to
be held as collateral security for fees
and other expenses to be incurred by
him in the trial of Mrs. Twitchell for
the murder of her mother, Mrs. Hill.-
That an account was TO be rendered
and the mortgage returned; that after
repeated endeavors no account could
be had of either the fees due counsel
or the expenses of the trial. That upon
leaving prison, the defendant went to
Mr.. O'Byrne's house, having given him
possession of her own, and there re-
mained fer some time, during which
period she signed declaration of no
set-oH to the mortgage without knowl.
edge that it had been sold. or that the
interest on it had been paid by Mr..
O'Byrne out of the rents accruing from
the property. The defence also con-
tended that a transfer of a mortgage
from client to counsel was void, and
that the mortgage could not therefore
be sustained. Judga Briggs instructed
the jury TO find for the plaintiff, as he
had bought the mortgage upon the
written guarantee of Mrs. Twitchell
that she had no set-off to it, and any
allegations on her part as touching the
manner in which the mortgage had
been procured from her were to be
disregarded, as she had her remedy in
,, another suit Verdict for plaintiff, ,$12,-
! 636.
What sort of Court of Justice is 1t
that suffers the property of a poor
creature to be taken for pretended le-
gal efforts, from attornies who knew
their assumed client was guilty, and
that they could not clear him? We
understand that W. B. Mann receiv d
fee of 81 zoe in this case, and Mr..
cassidy 81, 600. where the rest went we
leave to the imagination of the reader.
There is venality about the case that
is disgusting to honest minded men.
