WANTS ATTENDING To.--Won't somebody
attend to E. 7. of Deering? Evidently it is a
bad case of collie or cerebro spinal meningitis,
d perhaps he has bitten or been bitten by
mad dog. AT any rate, there is terrible in
flammation in his system, evidenced by his
articls in this mornings Argus. So ''the negro
voter is blunder," is he? Perhaps it was
blunder to leave him to the mercy of his late
rebel master-unrepentant rebel still, as abun-
dainty proved by their own actions, and by the
utterances of such Northern echoes as E. p of
Deering. 1t is all right for armed desperadoes
to devour the South in the interest of Tilden
aud Reform (save the mark) but it is an
outrage for the mmander-in-chiet to order
troops where he thinks they will do most good.

To That Dog.


How sleep the brave who sink to rest? indeed,
How can the brave or even towards sleep,
When, in the dreary, utter waste ofnight
Thou lftest up thy voice, like him who first
The lips of woman kissed, and gvest vent
To mournful bowling numbering gentle sleep,
Making night hideous. Hast thou no regard
For that sweet spirit, which, on wings of Night
Comes breathing on the weary, tired world
Hast thou no bowels of compassion. too,
For that sad thousand, who, within the reach
OF thy too strident voice, essay in vain
To grasp her feeting form? Thine owner, too,
What fendish spite has he against his race?
How can he hope for mercy, granting none?
If souls were ships, and curses loud and deep
Could freight and sink them, how his soul would Ii
In ocean, weighted with wealth of woe
A thousand fathoms down. But bark! crash!
Ofglass-it is the bottles opening roar
Thrown by well-meaning but misguided hand
Through the conservatory. How hate
man who leaves his dog out nights to howl!

Is IT TRUE?-That the scholars of our public
schools are TO be deprived of their customary
vacation on Thanksgiving week." If so, for
what reason? We had almost said, on what
pretext? If. as has been reported, it is for fu-
ture convenience, we should say it looks too
penny wise and pound foolish" to meet the
sanction of some of the very worthy gentlemen
of the committee. 1t is to be hoped the COM
mttee will reconsider their action in this case
and allow the children their customary "holi-
day week." We would wager a turkey that
the community is on the side of the children.
