Public Opinion.

No other inaugural Of which we have
any recollection, except that of Mr..
Lincoln, so impresses the reader with
a sense of such absolute sincerity of
purpose.-Philadelphia Telegraph, Re-
publican
The general impression left by the
address will, we think, be n of tho.
rough honesty of purpose applied to
the earlier principles of the Democratic
party,-New York Evening Post, Rep.
This peaceful transmission of the
government of this great nation from
one man to another-from one party to
another-is also an evidence of the per-
manence of our institutions. One par
ty goes out of power, another one comes
in, but the government does not change.
Liberty, law and order prevail, and al
ways will prevail while we adhere to a
pure republican form of government
Philadelphia News, Rep.
Mr.. Manning is the incarnation of
good sense, good intentions, and good
will. He has shown himself faithful
over few things, which is an excel
lent, as it is rare, record. We look to
see him equal to many things. The
story that he is a managing politician
is a lie out of whole cloth. He is a
straight up-and-down, c~lear-headed
and cool headed man of affairs, and we
shall be woefully deceived if he does
not make a success of the Treasury,
recalling the days of Walker and Guth-
rie.-Louisville Courier-Journal, DEM
The President has been regarded as
a model of steady-goiug moderation.
Now be is 6 gallopiDg into the arc
ma upon a dapple charger, with lance
uplifted and q challenge npon his lips

gentleman's yalor, whatever we may
think Of his discretion. 1.-The takes the

we Baldheaded Men,

They poke lots of fun at us baldheaded men,
What for il is hard to tell why
We know we're not giddy nor foppish, but
then,
We're funny, vet modest and shy.
In the very front rows
At spectacular shows
We are found in our glory, but when
We walk down the aisle
The audiences smile
All the cheek Of us baldheaded men.
There are many who sneer at Us baldheaded
men,
And say We arr s~enseless and crude;
Some rate US as tickle, and others again
Declare us most a@fully rude.
Unless at the play
iris seldom we stay
Up very much later than ten
Yet The folks seem to think
We sit up and drink,
We much.abused baldheaded men.
Pray what shall VI do, VI poor baldheaded
men
1--WE walk Oh the street any day
Some dirty young Arab will spot %, and
then
We'Fe sure to be given away.
He says he will shine.
That bald spot for q dime,

We feel just like sin
As We glare after him,
We unfortunate baldheaded men.
OH why do they rave at us baldheaded men
We're an innocent lot, I am snre,
And + venture to say there's not one out of
ten
But what has his cares To endure.
When he looks at his pate,
Secs his hairless estate,
And glsnces Ger what might have been,
He signs for an heir,
As we'll as some hair

saline basins4of Northern Louisiana.
Petroleum is found in Calcasieu par
ish about sixty miles from the coast.
Large quantities of carburetted hydro
gen gas pass out of the oil spring in q
continuous stream, and can be used for
lighting and heating purposes by mere
" being conducted in tubes.
Sulphur is also found in Calcasieu,
and in suclfprodigious quantities that
this one deposit could supply the whole
country with sulphur and with gyp-
sun that occurs with it. The sulphur
is of unequaled thickness and purity.
The mineral display in the Louisiana
exhibit contains, in addition to the
specimens of the above mentioned
minerals, many specimens of interest
both to the geologist and the casual
spectator. The petrifactions shown
are marvellous. Huge trees are turned
into stone while preserving the woody
fiber and bark. A peculiar specimen
is ii lump of pork from a barrel, show
ing the cylindrical form and the lines
of the Slaves. This has been lying in
the water and is now Id process of pet
rifaction, Standing as it does in the
open air, all decomposition is never
theless arrested, and the whole is grad
ually assuming the hardness of stone,
The excellent mineral exhibit OF
Louisiana was collected and installed
by Mr.. Ed. Enderice, special geologi-
cal commissioner, to whose skill and
energy great praise is due.
