Througha series of mishaps we tailed

We have read 1t with great Interest
and pleasure. The language is terse
clear and strong; the management ofthe
verse excellent; and the thoughts origi'
nal. There is vein OF satire through
the work which gives it a piquant flavor

We fear that IN s.Dr. PATCH Mr.. Holley
has drawn pen picture Of a certain fa>
NOUS republican politician and stump
orator of southwestern Minnesota.
We quote the following description
of the powers OF the party caucus, from
that part of the poem which describes
the battle of Tweedledum, Governor
Ramsey?) and Tweedledee, Governor
Davis?)
"Where, on where
Will country go to II men dare
BetraY King Caucus, or IT ne
Can be dethroned by Tweedledees
No one to congress ere returned,
Who has his royal mandate spurned;
Upon the capitol's bronze door,
This creed is written, Ger and Ger,
'sThgre is no God but God, It's clear,
And Caucus is his prophet here!"
Bv him are patched all party rents
And fused dlscordant elements;
By him from every sort Of earth,
T. squeezed the essence OF pure worth;
Minds that incline to fly apart,
are soIdered by his wonderons art;
Till every meteoric star
Is orbited as planets are
And made TO systematic move,
Within predetermined groove,
Revolving in an endless ring
around this parry king
TITS he can tie with subtle tether,
The lions and the lambs together;
Make bitter foes together lie,
! And hug their chains enjoyingiy;
I Make all accept with favoring eyes,
/ Things that at heart they most despise;
| Stand trustingy on platforms hollow,
And hateful creeds unquestioned swallow;
And graceful yield their honest views
TO those pressed in with party screws"
This is very fine, mot only for its poetr'
but its truth. It reminds one OF the cut
ting bitter couplets of Hudibras.
The editorials Of the Penny Post owe
the defeat Of Tweedledam are simply
fine burlesque upon the comments OF TIL
Pioneer>P Press. when Grow Ramsey falle
of reelection.
Ia short we would advise our reader
to get 1.-The Politicians" and peruse
from cover to cover. It's fall OF meat.

THE UNLOCK CASE.

Yesterday, before Woo Chancellor Van vleet, in
Newark, tho noted of Mulock w. Mulock came up
again. Mrs. Mulock some time ago brought to
from her largo amount OF Newark property
which, sho alleged, her son William iraudu-
lently transferred from her to his own. After
the testimony In the closed defendant IS
counsel moved to nave the reopeHed for
the admission Of newly discovered testimony, to DO
given by George W. Wood, Mr Wright Robbins and
Mrs Wright Robbins. Tho motion being denied by
the Woo Chancellor the defendant renewed II before
the Chancellor and succeeded obtaining an order to
reopen the case. Mr.. Robbins was examined before
the Wee Chancellor IN Newark, and Mrs Robbins and
Mr.. Wood, In New York, by u commission. PlainuG
moved, through counsel, to suppress their tes-
timony on tho ground that that OF Mr..
Wood and MIR. Robolns was not newly discovered,
the Court having been deceived OH this poInt; and
concerning Mrs. Robbins, that her namo did not APP
pear IN the application made 10 the Chancellor Nh
hcCarer charged that during AID before the trial oil
the case William Mulock attempted three or tour times
to induce Mr. Wood 10 testify, and was each time AZ
sured by Wood that he had no testimony to give
Aiterward Wood wanted Mulock to do him favor, and
then he discovered that he did know something OF the
case. Decision was reserved.
