AND there know Will not freeze,
And never feel the Nor'west breeze!
The suffering correspondent ex-
presses somewhat reckless indiffer-
ence to the possible climate of the
country to which he might go, but his
main object is to escape the Nor west
breeze" He evidently believes in ev-
cry man being permitted to crafty
his own taste, but he would rather
leave this climate to those who enjoy
it, but as for himself, is willing to
risk the climate of an unknown coun-
try. But there's no accounting for
tastes!
We do not, as general thing, be-
lieve in wasting time in the Legisla-
ture, by frivolous motions or resolu-
tions, but the following, introduced
in playful mood, by Tomlinson, of
Lawrence, a few days ago, is SO point
ed and appropriate that we must for
give the member from Lawrence for
the few moments of time wasted. OF
course the resolution was not consid-
cred by the House:
"Whereas, 1t has cost rivers of
blood and mountains of treasure to es-
tablish and maintain our Government
upon principles of freedom, justice
and equality.
Whereas, These foundations are
being undermined to the imminent
danger of our national existence.
"Whereas. In our own State the
will Of the people has been insolently
ignored, and an awful lie erected by
forger in lieu thereof.
Whereas, in one branch of this
General Assembly there seems an in
clination upon the part of an alleged
majority to forget the spirit of our
institutions and fall down and wor-
ship fa'se gods-a mathematical mon
strosity, a bow-legged. bald-headed
fgur 9, with wart under its chin.
Whereas, Our Lieutenant Cover
nor has taken this beast by the throat;
therefore, be it q
Resolved, That this House most
heartily remarks, Bully for Bob. ;"
A considerable amount of space has
been taken up by the city press dur
ing the last few days, relating the ex-
ploits of Maud Miller, daughter of
the poet, Joaquin Miller. This lady
married Steele Mackaye in New York,
and afterward went to Chicago and
married a man named Mccormick.
The latter marriage, she claims, was
contracted with the understanding
that her former marriage was void.
The lady seems to possess some of the
eccentricities of her cranky father.

The daily papers have again taken
up the business Of dissecting the war
record Of prominent Union Generals.
Grant, Halleck, and others come in
for their share Of criticism. Perhaps,
were these Generals alive now, they
would be completely surprised at the
records printed, and would see great
deal of ''oficial correspondence" that
would be entirely new to them.
Many of these journalists crawl
around over the records in the char
acter of green flies.

There seems to be another influence
materially aiding Sam Jones in his
awakening Of sinners in Cincinnati.
But this new influence is working
little differently from Sans methods.
Sam warns sinners to prepare for the
future during the present day of grace
but the new influence the suicidal man
la hustles sinners into eternity without
any thoguht of the present or any
fear for the future. Within the past
few days there have been quite
a number of suicides in Cincinnati.
One poor woman poisoned herself be-
cause her drunken husband beat her,
and she could not think of leaving the
brute. A woman over in Covington,
temporarily insane, took her little
daughter and jumped into cistern.
In Cincinnati Max Geesham, bar
keeper, concluded that he had re-
manned away from his master long
enough, and sought him by the jack
knife route. Going to bed he slashed
his throat half a dozen times, making
a horrible butchery, and ending his
devilment on earth. It seems to be
between Sam Jones and
Suicide. Sam is telling the people
lots Of truth. Possibly they never
knew how wicked they were until
Sam came, AID, learning the horror
of their surroundings, would rather
lie by their own hands than remain
onger in such horrible place.
