Sambo went out for that purpose. The horse was gone. The stranger was not there either, but his prediction that Col. Yerger was very anxious to see him on important business was nevertheless true. The Colonel is still more anxious to lay eyes on his horse and the nearly new bridle and saddle.-Austi7.S SiftSa0S.

 AN APOLOGY ON BOTH SIDES.
 A gentleman who was stepping from the theatre to the lobby grabbed lighted cigar from the mouth of 8 man near him and gave it toss into the street.
 Apologize or fightr' was the re- sponse of the man who had lost his cigar.
 "All right, sir" he replied, "I apolo gize for my rudeness. Now, sir, it is your turn; apologize to my wife for puff ing smoke into her face, or take the con- sequences, this remark being accom- panied with clenching of fists in sig nifcant way.
 The apology was forthcoming, and the smoker expressed his thanks for having so good lesson taught him in so clear manner.

 A Sage, was on his weary journey to Wisconsin, came upon crowd one day and observed a general sadness on all faces:

 "Who of you praised and encouraged him in life?" asked the old man as he looked around him. A hush fell upon the crowd, and no one rlied:

In August last Dr. Ingleby, one of
the life trustees of the birthplace OF
shakesp care, and author of the work
entitled "Shakespeare's Home pro
posed that the remains of Shakespeare
should, be exhumed, in order to COM
pare the poets skull with the monu-

to set at rest the question Of the cor
reetnessoEt the. many conflicting por-
traits of the poet now in existence.
Frhe proposition of Dir. Ingleby re-
ceived the endorsement of Rev. G..
Arbuthnet, the vicar of Stratford-
upon-Avm.J Upon reference to the
terms of sepulture, however, it was
ascertained that the remains could not
be exhumed or disturbed without the
consent of the Mayor and officers Of
the city corporation. The Mayor hay
ing refused his assent to the proposed
exhumation, the matter has now been
finally settled by a vote of the City
Council, which body passed a resolu-
ton condemning any disturbance Of
Shakespeare's grave.

The latest Malone circular is an
earnest appeal to his follwers to circu-
late the Washington organ of the Ad-
ministration, the National Republican,
among the people of Virginia, as the
means by which to refute the "spe-
cious appeals of the opposition press.
This places the Administration in the
unpleasant position of not only sup
porting Malone with patronage, but
with having the newspaper which is
edited by an official of the Govern
ment used as the chief exponent of
Mahone's reputation and anti-civil-
service reform principles. We OBJ
serve with much pleasure that the
Postmaster-General is asserting his
authority as the head of his Depart
ment, and is doing all he can to check
the political activity of his First As
sistant, who is the editor of the Ma.
tional Republican. If the President
would follow this excellent example,
he-wouid give genuine pleasure to
every true friend of his administration.

the planters the English price of cotton
less freight? The Liverpool price vester-

get paid for the covering of cotton, either,
