The Butcher Who Lost.


A hump shauldered man, followed by a
dog which seemed to have tasted for year
'last, entered a butcher shop the other day,
Iand the man made some inquiries about the
7nice of smoked hams. The butcher saw
fine dog. Of course, and who ever saw a
butcher who didh'f want TO know all about
a dog
"Is that gaod coon dog ~ asked the
utcher, as he Iatted the shy canine on the
had.
20, no, he's trick dog" answered the
owncr.
Is he, chg What tricks can he do ~
y, dozen or two. lie has one very Pc
culiar trick, though. Would you like to
Sc him di it?''
81 would that. What is it?'.'
The man directed the butcher to put a
round of heefstcak on a sheet of clean brown
paper, and put the whole OR the doorstep.
lie then said'to the dog, who had watched
matters very keehly.
"Now, Cato, am about to call on you to
perform Il trick. You have never gone back
on me yet, and have perfect confidence in
yon now. Cato, do you see that meat2"
Cato saw it. lie walked over TO it seized
it in his mouth, and as he went up the
street it was hard to tell the dog from dust. +"
/" IIum vest" muttered the butcher,
"do you call that trick 7'' e
81 do.'' confidently replied the man.
Well, it's blasted mean one 70
"Just so-ust so,;" said the man. "You
couldn't expect such a looking dog as that

iewsharp could youl III see you latef

little more than 100000 people; now in

Square, it includes not far from 1000, 1000.

GRANT AND hocHRANE

We are amused at the letter OF
Col. II. "A. Crawford wherein he ex>
presses preference for the nomina-
ton of Grant and LochraDe, respec~
lively, for the offices OF President and
Vice President of the United States
ia 1850. And we are astonlshed
that some so-called democrats in,
dorse that ticket. 1t is. however,
in keeping with the general ran Of
things 10 these degenerate days -
According 10 our reading Of the Con
slitution Of the United States, 40 man
of foreign birth is eligible to the
office of President of the United
States. The language is as follows;
Art. 2, Sec 4. "Noperson except
natural born citizen, or a citizen
Of the United States at the time OF
the adoption of this Constitution shall
be eligible to the Office Of President.
And Sec 3, declares, I'm case Of The
removal Of the President from office,
or of his death, resignation, or ina.
bility to discharge the powers and
duties of the said office, the same
shall deyolve on the Vice>President "
Now, Judge Locbrane, is native
Of ireland, as we are informed. He
is proud, and justly 50, Of the land Of
his nativity. 10 case Of Geu. Grants
removal, death, resignation, or
inability Judge Lochraue, accord
log to the provisions Of the last reci-
tod section, would become President
That would bring up conflict be
tween two plain provisions OF the
Constitution itself. The old instru
meut has been battered to pieces by
its enemies already but for decency
sake spare it The kilkenny,cat pre-
dicsment of ono section waring
against the other. However, Col
Crawford and his indorsers may take
it for granted that Grant bears
charmed life - and will not die, Dor
resign, nor be removed; "Vat a
country Vat a peoples !" was the
admiriug exclamation of the Dutch
man, when he first witnessed cir
Gus 10 America
Sir Boyle Rncbo, himself an lrN
i,hman, once said in the Irish Par
lament that he WAS willing to give
up not only part but all of the Con
stitution, to preserve the remainder
Possibly it is 80 with our friend Col
Crawford, and his adherenta with
respect to the Constitution of the
United States. Now, personally,
we like Judge L and would be glad
to see him President, Vice Presi
dent, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, Minister to the Courts Of St
James, and St. Cloud, all at the same
time ~ but while our oath recorded in
Ystieaveo'e chaneery to support the
Constitution of the United States res
mains, we can't indorse the ticket of
