Artemus Ward was just beginning to be heard of Afflicted with the caecethes scribe ndi, Josh used to devote his leisure time while sitting in his office waiting for orders 2: for some team to be returned. to writing "ess7ys," short essays which he consid- cred chunks of wisdom and philosophy He published these luorubations in a local paper, but, much to his chagrin they attracted no attention whatever One day while reading he came across piece of misspelf literature which wras considered by every one to be very funny bu, ,sh could not for the life of him dis cover the humor. He wrote ou, the piece in good English. bu, even then could nol see anything funny in II, ard concluded that the alleged humor consisted in the misspeiling he determined to re-wr,te his essay in the same vein, eupnonic ally misspelling any word. The same essays which had fallen flat as su h became celebrated when rewritten and mis- spelled, and soon the author became famous, and gave up livery stable keep ing, and devoted himself to literature, soon being called to the lecture platform. Josh will descend to his grave a disap pointed man, however, that he has no, achieved fame as an essayist rather than as humorist-

 Money is highly desirable, and authors have right to expect it, and yet the best writers have received the least. Those who properly pursue literature ind it to be it's own exceeding great reward. Hence the author Of book which proves pecuniary failure may derive benef, pensation. The idea is thus quainily ex- pressed by Mcnta;sne

c0vyOET F0R THE DEMOCRICK

4 ncgrcss WAS brought 10 q Boston hospital
on Saturday whose skin was changing from
black to white. ire FoSi2n Transcript reports
that "parts of the womau's body are as white rs
ga Caucasian's and the change IN color is pro-
"grcssjnS SO rapidly that in short time her skin
" will be entirely white
Obviously the Democratic party will be par
ticulaIly interested in this case. 1t supplies
long-fclt Democratic want. Ever since 1850
the Democrats have been beseeching the peo-
pie to restore them to power. But every time
the request has been preferred the people have
shaken their heads and ordered the Democracy
to the rear with the condcInnatory interroga-
tory, Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the
leopard his spots Now that an Ethiopian has
appeared who is equal to mutation Of the cuti-
Gle. no doubt our Democratic friends will feel
greatly cOmforted. Perhaps they will adopt her
as their patron saint in place of the starry-eyed
goddess of reform deposed. 1t only remains
for the party TO hunt up an able leopard who
can change his spots When they have found
him. as likely rs not the voters will agree to
Democratic restoration
But according to the present outlook such a
leopard will not make his appearance for some
time to come While waiting for him it would
be a good idea for the Democracy to bring forth
works meet for repentance. When they have
become sincerely converted to civil service re-
form, when they have stopped lodging the
tariff question, when they have thoroughly
renowned the hcrcsy of free trade, when they
have taken the pledge of total abstinence from
frauds upon the Southern ballot-boxes, when
they have cured themselves of the habit of al
lowing the worst elements in the party to con-
troll. then and not until then the arrival of the
leopard may be looked for

THY DO NOT 1NSEER.

The recent publication by John |. Davenport
of the history Of the Morcy letter forgery dis
tincty charged very grave offences against
William II. Barnum, Chairman, Frederick o..
Prince, Secretary, and Edward Il. Dickinson,
Stenographer and Acting Secretary, of the
and for the year 1850. They have thus far
made 10 specific denials Of these charges Ii
is the first time in the history of politics in
which such serious charges against men hold
ing such responsible positions in their party
were allowed to go unrcfuted. The only infer
ence TO be drawn is that the charges are true
and cannot De refuted. Let Us see what these
charges are:
l. That William II. Barnum suggested the
forgery of the infamous MOrcy letter because
OF the desperate state of the Democratic cam
in the manufacturing states. Mr.. Davcn-
port in making the charge names his authority
ono Henry II. Hadley. While we have not
much faith in anything Hadley might say, Mr.
Barnum cannot dispute him, for he indorscd
hum after the commission Of the forgery "a
one of our staunch and trustworthy friends
gree that ave are bound by his acts" Mr.
Barnum, in the next place, is charged with
sending this man lladlcy on a secret mission
