Thompson, the druggist, and take Il mild
purgative. He had discovered in former
vexed conditions that mild purgative
relieved the bowels, opened the pores,
stimulated the circulation and cleared
the brain. There lis curious
theory prevalent among the
heathen Chinese that the soul .ie, in the
stomach. If this be so-and the case of
Poppy Taft is singularly striking in it's
support-what q soul Poppy Taft must
possess for, as Shakespeare said of Car
dinal Wolsey, he is a man of nnbonnded
stomach. In this instance the purgativc
and the investigation worked we'll. TO
favor both Poppy Taft retired with the
statutes to Il very secluded place, and at
the end of an hour came ont with the
statutes and conclusion. He found us
guilty of melting to rebellion, insurrec-
ton and riot, and forthwith we were in
dicted and arrested.
We were arrested by a tall, handsome,
well hammered gentleman, who, calling a
hack, carried us and our bail into the
dread presence and majesty of the law
jolly Arthur McAuthur. We felt relieved
and believed that Providence had it's eye
on us, when we found that it was not the
venerable Pumphries or the weeping
Olin.
We humbly submit, that for so grave
an ofiense against the peace and dignity
of the Administration, the bail was ell
tirely too low. We expected to be called
upon for at least hundred Thousand, in
stead of a pitiful five thousand. The
court was evidently derelict of its duty.
But we submit.
And now, Poppy Taft, aided by his as
sistants, are hard at work to find the i'll
surrection, or rebellion, or riot that we
melted. When found we hope he will
favor us with an affidavit, so that we can
issue a subpoena duces tecum to fetch said
insurrection, rebellion or riot into court.

THAT OCTOROON BALL.
Washington Capital


The Hon. james A. Garfield, NJ .
c.. of the High Commission,
through which we are made to-
grin and b ar it, has sued the
Cleveland PLAISDEALER. we arc
told, for having published the fsct
that he. the Hon. Jnmes had beam
ed, from his intellectual counte.
nance, upon the dusky beauties OF
an octoroon ball in New Orleans.
Why the Hon. James should thus
feel himself damaged in reputation
tor having smiled upon his princi-
pIes in petticoats at ball, after
weeping over the fainting EizA
Pinkston on the sofa, bothers our
journalistic mind considerably (.
Indeed, to us the smiles are the
more commendablc, for they were
sincere. The tears. we fear, came
from the same source thlt furnishes
the honorable gentIeman's princ;-
rles, and come under the head OF
bogus,
Admitting, however, that the
Gignitied SCION was compromised
Ivy his appearance in the midst OF
the dusky be.Ie- of the pave, how
could it damage his character more
than his endorsement OF J. Madison
Wells. the man who has carried
into Louisiana politics all the tricks
ola dishonest horse jockey, in which
he was famous, or rather infamous,
throughout the South?
The p. D. of Cleveland shares
with D. 2. of Washington the honor
Of pro ecuton through the courts
And from late developments it looks
As if Our only hope is from that ID.
P. whose interference in human
affairs so often protects the list and
c 'niounds the wicked. Tho fel'
lows finding the courts, through
his last test OF our supreme tr'bu-
nal, as unprincipled as themselves,
are rushing to them, not for pro-
ecton but for persecution.
We are writing a political article
where we should devote our pen to
social matters, and the fair readers
