Mr.. Sunset Cox, is now on a pill
grimage through the South with a
view, it is said, of securing enough
Southern votes to place him in the
speakers chair during the next con-
grees. Mr.. Cox's reputation as har-
lequin is already established in the
House and his effort thus to spread
his fame throughout the South will
no doubt be properly appreciated as
well as rewarded by the people of
tina tsection when the proper time ar
riVeS.

THE Hon. George W.McCrary, the
new Secretary of War, had few edu-
cational advantages in his youth, as
schools on the frontier were then a
rarity, and words of learned length
seldom found utterance except when
some adventurous pedagogue organ
lied school in some log cabin and
impaired to the youth Of adjoining
farms the mysteries ola rudimentary
education. Young McCrary like
other farmer boys worked industri-
Ously on his fathers farm during the
working season, and awaited himself
of such opportunities as as the occasi-
on presented to procure an education
during the winter months. AT about
the age of IS years through his skill
and industry he had acquired suffi-
cient knowledge to enable him to en-
gage inschool teaching, and for sever
al years devoted himself to teaching
and study. While in the common
schools he went one winter to the
school at Bentonsport, Van Buren,
county, Iowa. During that season,
in return for the privilege ofsleeping
on cot in one Of the village stores,
he engaged to guard the store at night
sweep it out in the morning and
build the fires.

it and the mention of the Custom
House, it is to be hoped, will soon
cease to be an active irritant and pro-
moter of bile.
AS they arrive at this desirable
frame of mind, they will rejoice, as
they gather to their evening tea, to
tell of the times when they dealt such
powerful blows to that presuming
fellow who had the audacity to"meck
at their calamity" and laugh when
they were visited with great and con-
Stunning wrath.
