SUCCOTASH.-NO. 5.
OUR DISH.


Corn and beans are lust right for it,
thanks to the late refreshing rams. How
they did pour! Bad for finely clad ladies
caught out on the streets. And their smil-
ing faces darkened with gloom. How they
would have pulled the weather clerks hair,
could they have reached 1t But it was
all for the best-the late crops will yet
come on and swell the already abundant
harvest. How the corn leaves and potatoe
vines greened as they held up their tiny
cups for the refreshing rain. And potatoes
will not be dollar bushe and even more
a, they were last year. BY the way, speak
ing of our fnvonte dish, has the reader
heard of the "Succotash Association" in
Huron county this State, believe? Ithas
annual meetings to which guests come free
the first time, but after that they join and
have to help pay the expense. The mem-
beIs are all young men, and one came all
the way from New York city this year.
They spend their time as they list and ea,
corn in all possible ways. So you see, the
odd title of these articles has an unexpected
association. Well, what will be next?
EDITORIAL AMENITIES.
Iwonder il your readers ever take up some
OF our newspapers. Toledo publishes some
sort Of sheet from nearly every street cor
ner. II we keep on, the city will have as
many ms the man in Bible times POSSESSED
devils-legion and / think some of our
NJ. g, AL l.
cised MS he was and their evil spirits sent
into swine. know of scarcely filter
doom for them. Such ribaldry as these
prints contain, never appears in anything
else claiming admission to human homes.
1t is amazing and alarming as we'll, that
society permits the issue OF such publica
tions. What but the worst influence can
such reading exert on the mind of our in
nocent children and unsOphisticated youth (!
Indeed nearly half of what finds its way
into our newspapers of this sort especially,
should be expurgated before they can get
into the hands of our sons and daugh
II is all vile enough, but a paragraph in
| one of our last Sabbath sheets capped the
filthy climax. II was n scurri lous refer
ence to the private character OF Hon. U. p
! Morton, then believed to be on his death
bed. Pleasant reading for his sorrowing
friends, it must have been. In christian
lands by common consent, a dying mans
defects are suffered to be buried with his
remains, and the broad mantle Of sweet
and holy charity covers all. Well, very
| likely the Senator's past would have been
left in oblivion, had not the editor of pre-
tended moral sheet scandalized the author
of the dirty fling in connection with rather
a noted courteshn. I think also that the
sick mans politics had something to do
with the matter.
OUR ASrUsEMENTs.
OF the commonly held legitimate kind
there is a sad lack just now. 1t is between
planting and harvest, you see. During the
hot days Of the SUMMER, theatre goers have
hid themselves away in cool resorts, and
our Opera House has been as silent as the
grave. Our lesser dramatical places have
been open and in full blast. Notably that
of Col. Edwards is a success IN its line.
He Is occupying the Adelphi, a brick struc-
ture OF considerable pretentsions to size
and eomfOrtl aud il man can reconcile
himself to an audience Of men alone,
among whom lager circulates, not by irri-
CATION but in glasses, and il he can imag.
ine the actors and actr Sses pure and Of
good repute, he will enjoy himself at the
performances very we'll. The exercises
are fully as unexceptionable rs those of n

gramme includes equally meritorious eH-
| ploils. SCRIBE.
