As q people we are sensational, al
most as much SO as the P~arisians. Ii
we do not have our bit of sensation for
breakfast in the morning we inconti-
nently consign the unfortunate news
paper that we have been scanning for
the toothsome article, mentally lowell
no matter where, and the editor is term
ed a stupid old fool and is sent to Coven-
try. One day it is a divorce suit, with
its Shiny side for our delectation-
another, an extraordinary murderer
another defaulter. One would sup
pose the people would become tired of
all this, but no-Asmodeus is kept as
busy as ever.
Numerous divorce cases have been
recently tried with us-rich, rare, racy
and smelling to heaven, but mark you
this, let it be said to the credit Of the
male sex, that it is they who have gen.
orally appeared as applicants for the
divorce, notwithstanding the fact that
ladies are prone to deal out to the world
dreadful accounts of mans enormities.
Results in these suits would go to show
that man is a very virtuous animal, a
Joseph when married and settled, and
that it is the wife who would initiate
Potiphar's spouse. By-the-by, can any
one tell us that lady's name ? We
make this declaration at the risk of be-
ing tabooed, but it is made fearlessly,
and besides it is the truth. If the Ia
dies are disposed to disbelieve us, let
them read the recent record of marital
lnfelicities and be convinced.
We are, as a city, full of adultera-
tions and frauds everywhere. When
it is not in the custom house, look for
these things in your beef, in your sugar,
your stock in trade generally. We
have impure milk now. Every day or
two dealers in the lacteal fluid are
hauled up and fined, and presumably
the fines are paid, but it seems to do no
good. No sooner do they get out of
the difficulty than at it they go again.
The worst feature of the case is that
this deadly fluid is sold largely to the
poorer classes, as if they did not suffer
enough already. This stuff is fed to
their children, and the result is that
death generally follows, owing to i'm
pure nourishment. Murder stalks
abroad in more shapes than we wot of.
DR.. Mary Walker appears in
print once more. She has
been your way. This time the scene
was laid in the Treasury, and Senator
Sherman was the star to her leading
lady. Cursing was INDUCED in, threats
to draw her little pistol, and sore shins
on the part of the brave man who at
tempted to eject her-and did, was all
thrown in-admittance free. The New
York Commercial Advertiser, however,
is not satisfied with her ejectment, but
sternly demands of that old man, the
door keeper who held Mary in his arms
(although it was but for a short SEASON.
why he did not run her to the Potomac
and there, with a stone tied to her
neck, immerse her in the stream, like
any other cat.
Just now the favorite occupation of
the Democratic press is to take the vote
of this year and of previous elections,
and endeavor to evolve highly favorable
prospects for the future of the great
unwashed-ye Democratic party. But
it won't wash, somehow, wen among
the men of the party willing to be
whipped into line and to vote for Gen.
Jackson if told to do so. They are
talking of a new party already. These
authentic men were ever the big
Medicine men" of the party, and the
more grotesque their performance the
greater, until now, the reverence of
the party.
You may look for an unprecedented
rush your way for the Black Hills about
the middle of April or the first of May.
The starving and out-of-work people
seem to think. with Othello, when they
read the scant and unsatisfactory news
that comes to them from the Hills,
''nay, yet there is more in this" and if
there is they mean to have a finger in
the pie. Well, they can but try their
luck. He that ventures nothing will
nothing have outside of what he al
ready has. This is a liberal construc-
