When l rose In the morning l found
my mother In tears, who informed me
that my brother John was to march
next day after tomorrow at sunrise.
My father was In Boston In the Massa-
chusetts assembly.

POLITICAL MUsKRATs.

IL any one would wish TO form strong
conception OF the value In time or DANGER
of defences which have been constructed
in anticipation Of IT. he should stand on
top Of q. Mississippi levee. at high water
on the one side he sees a broad eX-
panse of dead level. but highly cultivated
fields of boundless fertility. blooming with
cotton and corn, extensive dwellings and
farm buildings, and all with the air OF
security and confidence.
on the other side the turbid and rush
ing waters press up TO the very summit
of the bank and over the level OF the
field from fifteen TO twenty feet. This
stream fed by the waters OF whole
continent, with its deep rcsistleas cur
rent whirling along all manner of float
ing objects, presents an awe inspiring
scene. The very idea OF break in the
levee is appalling to the mind. and yet
these breaks do occur and carry ruin
and desolation far back, even for many
miles TO plantations one would suppose
beyond the reach Of such disaster. The
Ievees are carefully guarded and the peo-
pie feel little anxiety except from two
causes, the one, lest the earth of which
the levee is composed should soften by
long contact and seepage of the water
and so slough out: but the other and
greater danger is the work of the musk
rat. In the pursuit Of his natural bent
he burrows In the bank, and in order to
make himself a. nest he neither under
sequences to those who are protected by
the levee. A muskrat-hole in a Mssis-
sippi leyee has led to the deluge Of a
whole parish and TO the loss Of millions
of dollars. We have our ballot-box musk
rats ard they are even more active and
reckless than the levee-rat. They care not,
indeed for the most part know not, and
are incapable Of knowing the dangers to
erty of the people by their inroads upon
the defences of the. PEOPLE. If these
"muskrats" can get a burrow and nest
for themselves where they may pillage

soon will have accomplished their hearts

comes, they are in their element and |
swim away as gaily as if nothing had |
happened. These ballot-box muskrats are |
a pestiferous lot and should be run out |
Of the levees Of our safety, which are
honest elections.

Just beyond the entrance TO Bellevue
Hospital, in east Twenty-sixth street, on

brick building. is one of the smallest and
oldest businesses in New York city. 1t is

pensary near by.
At the free dispensary daily there are
great throngs OF people Many Of the visit
ors come for the first time and do not
know the rules about bottles. To get medi-
cine you must have the bottles, and what
more natural than that some observing
man should take note of the demand and
establish miniature bottle shop in a small
booth on the sidewalk. Bottles are sold
here very cheap, in fact cheaper than You

the case in a manner satisfactory to
the great body OF the American people.
1t only remains now for Congress to

which was surrepttiousy made OF Its

the old government. and to declare that
