Keen Satire.

In tho days Of Andrew Jackson, during
a holly contested political conflict, in
front of a village store were gathered a
squad of workers-the village wirc-pul-
lcrs men who were spending their time
and breath for the party, and who We're
looking for Office. every one of them,
engaged in discussing the prospects Of
the situation. While they were thus en-
gagged in feeling self-confdent and jubi-
liant, an old stager of the opposing party,
named Sam Bclkoop, came up. Ordi-
nalily Sam was reserved, and mindful of
his own business, but in exciting times
like the present, when he had "a few
glasses aboard" he could be |loquacious.
The party of politicians, all known to be
hungry for government pap, hailed Sam
rather ironically, asking him how went
the battle on his side. Said Sam:

RUSSIA'S WAR WITH TURKEY.

APRIL 28.-A dispatch from London
says adyices from Turkish sources report the
battle 1T Bellorcnc ragged throughout yestcr-
day. The Russians, commanded by Grand
Duke Michael, were repulsed with heavy loss
The Turks, under Hassan Pasha, suffered
slight losses. The Russians resumed the at
tack last night and were again defeated and
driven across the frontier Other dispatches
say the Turks crossed the Danube to-day near
S Silcstra; where an engagement is expected.
The Italian government has issued the dccla-
ration of neutrality. A dispatch from Kis-
chcncff has the following:, AS the Russian
army advances proclamations will be issued
both to the Christians and Mussulman popula-
tions Of Turkey ordering them to remain quiet
and attempt nothing against each other, as all
be molested. Nothing will be taken without
payment; Russia does not wish the Christ
ian population to rise, as this would only re-
suit in disorder and useless bloodshcd, but
Christians who wish to take part in the war
can come to the Russian army where they will
be given arms and uniforms, and be regularly
enrolled in special division commanded
by Russian officers under the strictest dis
ciplinc.

King and his mobiles, and all his great

"Does this fellow know more than my

SO on they rode, and had just entered
the forest when the rain came down in
torrents, driving them to the nearest shell

skin, bitterly lamenting that they did not
take the rustics advice. When they re-
turned to the palace the King sent for his'
philosopher, and having soundIy berated
him for letting himself be outdone by a
country rustic, dismissed him. Then he
sent for the countryman, intending to
install him into the vacant office.
Tell me-" said the King, when the
man appeared before him, how you knew
it would rain!''

And thereupon the King sent for the

go home; and the jackass was installed
into the office made vacant BY the re-
tirement Of the philosopher. "Ah.' con-
cluded Sam: with woful shake of the

From the N. y. Evening Post, April II.
The reports which are published in the
Ecensng Post to-day with respect to the
condition and management of the Equita-
bic Life Assurance Society scarcely need
extended comment. It is manifest that
in these reports we have an exact and full
setting forth of all the facts which can
possibly concern the public; that there has
been no disposition on the part of the So
cicty's officers to shun examination or to
make concealment; and that the voluntary
committee, from which one Of the reports
comes, have not hesitated to criticise free
whatever they have found in the man.
agemcnt deserving of censure. In a
word, the reports arc what they ought to
be, and they have the fullest weight with
the public.
The conclusion to be drawn from them
is that the company is entirely sound, and
thai it has never been otherwise.
They serve, even at a time of much un-
certainty and suspicion, to restore full
confidence in the society, whose manage
mentis thus exhibited to the pubic; and
the management we must confess seems
to have been characterized by great en-
terprizc and energy coupled with much
skill. Even the large expenditure on the
buildings of the company in New York
and Boston is found to yield q combined
return of :12 per ccntum net. Presum-
ing that everybody has read the reports

here, but they must be very gratifying

course pursued by the general government

The Louisiana Committee has submitted

Mr.. DiOSenes.

This singular man lived in Greece He was
distinguished for his eccentricities, bad man
ners and bad disposition. It was his chief
bushes to find fault. For example, ne took 4

man, thereby insinuating that such persons
were exceedingly scarce. When Alexander, 3

visit, and inquired what he could do for him he
had the impudencet to tell him to get out of his
sunshine" To cap the climax of his oddities,
he dressed like a beggar and!livcd in a tub! He
was sour, grabbed, crusty old bachelor. We
infer that he had no wife, first, because his
tory does not mention her: second, because
no woman would take kindly to one of his
habits, dress, or manners, or aspire TO become
woman who lived in a stoe,'' it is true but the
woman who would live ia a tub, and especially
