The Geyser Foaming.
From Tuesdays Daily.1

IFrOm tuesdays daily.
The crater of the political geyser, which
a few days & was giving such a magni-
fcent display of spouting steam and foam
and filling the ravines and valleys of poll
tics with rivers of boiling rage, is now
empty. The seetklng waters with which
it was surcharged having escaped through
its vocal safety valves, it's mouth now enlits
only steam, and where but yesterday it
was Impossible to tread, the adventurous
now may feel their way in safety. Some
are becoming so courageous as to go to the
verge of the crater and take a squint at the
contents, and one man is said to have actu-
ally asked the Encouragement whether
or not he had any opinions to submit to
the senate. Since the senatorial body
returned the generously rendered opinion
of the states legal fount, this query has
been considered a combination of powder
and fire.
But the fact that the geyser is not now
in a state Of eruption should not de-
change is simply in the aperture. The
subterranean cauldron is roaring and
foaming and Kissing and seething with in.
tensified and unabating fury. The eye of
the spy still peers from dropping brow and

informer and the blackmailer has been d.

venge.
THE REDEEMER C0METH.
In the midst of this terrible wal of
emotions and %sympathies, hatreds and
threats, it is consoling to know that the
perfection of creation asserts itself and
that a Moses appears to lead the benighted
victims of ambition out of the wilderness
OF destruction. One who rises in the
grandeur of his magnificent equipose and

blessed oil of his soothing words, transfers
the flashing waters into q placid sea. The
man who has risen above the storm in this

to be congratulated upon the widespread
popularity OF his harmony meeting as well
as the enthusiastic manner in which his
cross-cut to the millennium is received
abroad. 1t is understood that iSenators

idea OF universal harmony has spread may
be judged from the following messages
which were caught from the wire:
