THE World, referring to the Sontb-
ern claims presented to Congress at its
last session, asks: "What WonId a
fair-minded voter say of an effort IN
make the Republican party responsible
for every claim-bill introduced into
Congress while 1t held power? Or to
condemn court because some plaintiff
brought before it a corrupt or mon
strous or indefensible claim ?'' It
holds that the presentation of these
claims involves nothing more than the
right of petition, but we never knew
that bill presented by a member of
Congress was looked upon in the light
of memorial. A court should NOT he
held responsible for any monstrous or
unjust claim brought before it, but if a
member of the court should present
such claim and advocate it he wonId
in some measure be responsible. There
is no petition in the matter: regular
bills were presented for which those
who offered them are responsible. But
the fact that the Southern people peti-
ton to have the claims settled shows
that they expect to be reimbursed for
the losses they sustained during the
war.

Willing Love was paying a visit to
his dulcinea. She had smueeIed him
into the parlor, and the darkness onIv

Willing told his story Of love. The
muttered words reaced the parents ear
and coming suddenly into the room. he
demanded TO know of Mary who it
was she had with her.
It's the cat, sir was the mumbling
reply.
Drive it out here.' thundered that
pater-familias.
Scat! screeched Mary, and then sot-
to voice, Willing, meaow a little.'
Willing set up woful how'll
"Confound it. bring light and scare
the thing OUT
This was too much, and poor Willing
made leap for the window, CARVING
glass and frame with him.
Thunder, what cat p exclaimed the
parent, contemplating the ruin after
the light was brought; Il never saw
anything like it, and confound it. its
tail IS made of broadcloth,' as he view

RECREATION does net mean idIeness
and it may mean labor. A wise man
will so arrange his labors that each
succeeding one shall be so totally diff
ferent from the last that it shall serve
as a recreation for it. Physical exer-
ton may follow mental, and then give
place to it again. "A man equally wise
in all other hygenic measures, who
could nicely adjust the labors of mind
and body in their true portions, might
hope to attain old age with all his
mental faculties fresh and vigorous to
the last.

Judge Sinnot fully explains the income bus-

That for ways that are dark.
And for tricks that are VAIN.

And l shall not deny,
That he failed to observe
What that name might implv.
But Sin Not was only lawyer.
And All Sam, ne employed him to lie.

And soft were the skies,
And perhaps its inferred,
That All Sam was likewise.

In way that ne thought mighty wise,
Which they had small game.
And All Sam took hand.

He did not understand
But he smiled as he swore to his income

But the stocks that were 'sslidn
by that smiling Chinee,
And the funds that were hid.
1t was frightful to see,
And among them was that twenty Thousand
winch the Alton had paid unto he.
But he was not so sly
AS he meant for to be,
And ne swore once too much
In that ''Alton melee"
ana the boys got holt on the papers
AND they went for that swearing Chinee-
In the scene that ensue,l

But Sin Not was imbued
With the courage to stand
And declare such a thing as a swindIe
Was that Sam did not understand.
But his purse, which was long.
Had been used to conduct
The proceeds of the wreng
Into his own ''usufruct;"
Ard they found that his nest was well
feathered,
From the numerous geese he had plucked
Which is why remark,
And do not complain,
That for ways that are dark,
And for tricks that are vain.
All Sam is the ''chief of his eouals.n
Which is the same shall ever maintain

BISHOP noGdsrT's OPINION.

Rev. D. S. Doggett, D. D., said that the
subject was one worthy OF toe most plous
consideration, and bis heart was fully in It's
success. He rather enjoyed the secret way
in which the mee'irg had been gotten up,
for many persons had not the least idea what
il was for.
Az the conclusion OF the Bishops remarks
the Chair suggested that it might be well 10
nostpope auy action at this meeting, and re-
fer the whole sui ioct 10 the ofticia! boards OF
The several churches, and let the boards IaiS
il over. and then call another mass-meeIlnS
aud see what can be done.
Mr.. BLEDsoE AND THE NEWSPAPERS.
Rev. Mr. Bledsoe agreed with the view:
EXPRESSED by the Chair. He didn't thsns
that the small number present represented
Methodism in Richmond. He dldn't wan'
it to 90 into the papers 10 the morning Ina,
The Metbodists had taken up collection ano
raised hundred or hundred and hity
dollars. He would therefore move that tht
whole matter be referred to the ofiicia
boards, and when they have agreed upor
some plan they can call q mass-meeting
) fis true, many had seen 1t in the paper, bu
very few knew what it meant.
Rev. Mr.. Ray mean while had eonYerset
with number of persons in various part
of the church, and announced TO the Chail
that alyeady one friend had offered 300.
CHApBLs THAT ARE EyssosEs.
Mr.. Brown said that he was rather In
cjined to secord tie motion, but be though
