early in the morning, and, shaking out her orange leaves, defied the Shamrock to "come on." The Shamrock came on. There was a vegetable howl, and clash, and clangor in the air, and the Lily, having knocked off several of the Shamrocks' greenest leaves, went to its friend, the American Beaver, for comfort and support. But the American Beaver, instead

of countenancing the Lily, said: "Look here, Lily, I guess you are about the greatest fool I ever _did_ see, except, perhaps, the Shamrock. As long as you two stick to your work, instead of sticking out your colors and sticking your knives into each other, I am very glad to have you for neighbors, but now that you have

shown yourselves to be jack-asses instead of vegetables, I would not give an American Beaver dam for the two of you." * * * * * CONDENSED CONGRESS. SENATE. A pleasant philosopher tells us that blessings brighten as they take their flight. The flight of Congress may be regarded as a blessing. But Congressmen do not brighten. PUNCHINELLO listens in

vain for the swan song of SUMNER, and looks longingly, without being gratified by the spectacle of the oratorical funeral pyre of NYE. Almost the only gleam of humor he discerns in his weekly wading through the watery and windy wastes of the Congressional Globe is a comic coruscation by Mr. CAMERON. Mr. McCREERY had had the abominable impudence to
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042004
introduce a bill relieving the disabilities of a few friends of his in Kentucky. Mr. CAMERON objected upon the ground that one of these persons was named SMITH, and used to be a New York Street Commissioner. Any man who had been a New York Street Commissioner ought to be hanged as soon as any decent pretext could be found
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042005
for hanging him. (Murmurs of approbation from the New York reporters.) Still this was not his main objection to SMITH. The SMITH family had furnished more aid and comfort to the rebel army than any other family in the South. No SMITH should, with his consent, be permitted to participate in the conduct of a Government which so many SMITHS
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042006
had conspired to overthrow. Moreover, this was an incorrigible SMITH. It was an undisputed fact that SMITH had given up a lucrative office to follow his political convictions. Such a man could not be viewed by Senators with any other feelings than those of horror and disgust. Let them reflect what would be the effect of polluting this body, as
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042007
by this bill it was proposed to make it possible to do, with a man so dead to all the common feelings of our nature that he would set up his own conceits against the practice of his fellow-Senators, and the rewards of a grateful country. This settled the fate of SMITH, but the rest of Mr. McCREERY's friends, being
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042008
obscure persons, were let in, in spite of the "barbaric yaup" of DRAKE, who said that the next thing would be a proposition to enact a similar outrage in Missouri, and thereby abet the efforts of the bold bad men who were trying to get him out of his seat. HOUSE. SCHENCK insisted upon the Tariff. He had been visited
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042009
by delegations from the great heart of the nation, who assured him that the great heart of the nation yearned for an immediate increase of the duty on various articles which competed with the articles manufactured by the members of the delegation. No longer ago than yesterday a manufacturer of double-back-action jack-planes had assured him that the single-forward-action jack-planes poured
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042010
upon our shores by the pauper labor of Europe, were, so to speak, shaving off the edge of the national life. A gentleman whose name was known to the uttermost parts of the civilized world, who had shed new lustre upon the American name by the great boon he had bestowed upon mankind in the American self-filling rotary Bird of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042011
Freedom inkstand with revolving lid, had said, with the tears of patriotic shame and sorrow in his eyes, that there were recreant writers who preferred to purchase the Birmingham inkstand, which required to be filled, did not rotate, and had no revolution to its lid, at fifty cents, than to secure his own triumph of American ingenuity at ten dollars.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042012
Such misguided men must be taught their duty to their native land. Mr. SCHENCK moved an increase to , per cent, _ad valorem_ on the foreign jack-plane, which he characterized as a Tool of Tyranny, and the Birmingham inkstand. The thing was done. Mr. DAWES said he was disgusted. Everybody's jobs were put through except his. He threatened to go
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042013
home and tell his constituents. Mr. PETERS suggested that Mr. DAWES had better go out and take "suthin' soothin'." (Mr. PETERS is from Maine, and his remark will probably be understood there.) If he might be pardoned the liberty he would recommend a little ice in it. Mr. DAWES said he could do his own drinking. As for PETERS, he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042014
scorned him. Moreover, PETERS was one-eyed. Mr. PETERS appealed to his record to show that he had two eyes. He did not understand the anger of Mr. DAWES. Of course when he suggested a drink, he assumed the responsibility of paying for it. Mr. DAWES said that altered the case entirely. He took pleasure in withdrawing his hasty remarks, and
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042015
in assuring the House that he profoundly venerated PETERS, and that PETERS had two perfect eyes of unusual expressiveness. Mr. BINGHAM called attention to the case of Mr. PORTER, who had been smitten on the nose by a vile creature whom he declined to drink with. This was a blow at the national life, and he thought the punishment of
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042016
treason was imperatively demanded. Mr. BUTLER said he had been kicked once. He assured the House that the sensation was repugnant to his feelings as a man--much more as a Congressman. He moved to amend by substituting slow torture. It was finally resolved to put the wretch in irons and feed him on bread and water. * * * *

* A Drowsy Con. When a man is sleepy, what sort of transformation does he desire? He wishes he were a-bed. * * * * * An Anecdote of the good old Square Kind. MRS. PRINGLEWOOD, having been afflicted with a chimney that smoked, sent for a chimney-doctor to cure it. When the cure had been thoroughly effected, says Mrs.
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042018
PRINGLEWOOD to the chimney-doctor: "My son, a boy of but fourteen, smokes awful; couldn't you cure him as you did the chimney?" "No I couldn't, marm," returned the chimney-doctor, who was a wag: "but I see what you're arter, marm--you want me to teach him to draw!" * * * * * O Deer, Deer! _Trichinoe_ are said to have
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042019
been discovered in the flesh of Oregon deer. If this should prove true, Oregon venison must be anything but a benison; but it is more than likely that the report originated in the fact that there is in the East Indies a species of the cervine family known as the Hog deer. * * * * * Scientific Intelligence. We
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042020
learn from exchanges that in Missouri, where the wages of working-people average five dollars _per diem_, that the Legislature have decreed a Mining Bureau, and a Geological Survey of the State--the remuneration of the assistant geologists to be at the rate of $. _per diem_. Why should these learned geologists waste their time for a compensation so mean? Let them
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042021
rather convert their surveying-staffs into ox-goads, and turn their attention to Gee-haw-logy,--'twill pay better than t'other thing. * * * * * Men and Manners The following paragraph, cut from a newspaper, suggests a good deal: "A Hindoo cabby, before mounting the box and taking the reins, always first prays that his driving may be to the glory of his
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042022
God." Now this is precisely what the New York hackman invariably does before he gathers up the reins and urges on his "galled jades." He curses his horses, his passengers, and his own eyes, and thus commends his driving to the glory of _his_ God, whose other name is LUCIFER. +--------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | A.

OF MR. E. DROOD. AN ADAPTATION. BY ORPHEUS C. KERR. --(Continued.) The pauper burial-ground toward which they now progress in a rather high-stepping manner, or--to vary the phrase--toward which their steps are now very much bent, is not a favorite resort of the more cheerful village people after nightfall. Ask any resident of Bumsteadville if he believed in ghosts, and,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042085
if the time were mid-day and the place a crowded grocery store, he would fearlessly answer in the negative; (just the same as a Positive philosopher in cast-iron health and with no thunder shower approaching would undauntedly deny a Deity!) but if any resident of Bumsteadville should happen to be caught near the country editor's last home after dark, he
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042086
would get over that part of his road in a curiously agile and flighty manner;--(just the same as a Positive philosopher with a sore throat, or at an uncommonly showy bit of lightning, would repeat "Now I lay me down to sleep," with surprising devotion.) So, although no one in all Bumsteadville was in the least afraid of the pauper
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042087
burial-ground at any hour, it was not invariably selected by the great mass of the populace as a peerless place to go home by at midnight; and the two intellectual explorers find no sentimental young couples rambling arm in arm among the ghastly head-boards, nor so much as one loiterer smoking his segar on a suicide's tomb. "JOHN McLAUGHLIN, you're
60

twg_000000042088
getting nervous again," says Mr. BUMSTEAD, catching him in the coat collar with the handle of his umbrella and drawing the other toward him hand-over-hand. "It's about time that you should revert again to the hoary JAMES AKER'S excellent preparation for the human family.--I'll try it first, myself, to see if it tastes at all of the cork. "Ah-h," sighs

OLD MORTARITY, after his turn has come and been enjoyed at last, "that's the kind of Spirits I don't mind being a wrapper to. I could wrap _them_ up all right." Reflectively chewing a clove, the Ritualistic organist reclines on the pauper grave of a former writer for the daily press, and cogitates upon his companion's leaning to Spiritualism; while
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042090
the other produces matches and lights their lanterns. "Mr. McLAUGHLIN," he solemnly remarks, waving his umbrella at the graves around, "in this scene you behold the very last of man's individual being. In this entombment he ends forever. Tremble, J. McLAUGHLIN! --forever. Soul and Spirit are but unmeaning words, according to the latest big things in science. The departed Dr.

DAVIS SLAVONSKI, of St. Petersburg, before setting out for the Asylum, proved, by his Atomic Theory, that men are neatly manufactured of Atoms of matter, which are continually combining together until they form Man; and then going through the process of Life, which is but the mechanical effect of their combination; and then wearing apart again by attrition into the
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042092
exhaustion of cohesion called Death; and then crumbling into separate Atoms of native matter, or dust, again; and then gradually combining again, as before, and evolving another Man; and Living, and Dying, again; and so on forever. Thus, and thus only, is Man immortal. You are made exclusively of Atoms of matter, yourself, JOHN McLAUGHLIN. So am I." "I can
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042093
understand a man's believing that _he, himself,_ is all Atoms of matter, and nothing else," responds OLD MORTARITY, skeptically. "As how, JOHN McLAUGHLIN,--as how?" "When he knows that, at any rate, he hasn't got one atom of common sense," is the answer. Suddenly Mr. BUMSTEAD arises from the grave and frantically shakes hands with him. "You're right, sir!" he says,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042094
emotionally. "You're a gooroleman, sir. The Atom of common sense was one of the Atoms that SLAVONSKI forgot all about. Let's do some skeletons now." At the further end of the pauper burial-ground, and in the rear of the former Alms-House, once stood a building used successively as a cider-mill, a barn, and a kind of chapel for paupers. Long

ago, from neglect and bad weather, the frail wooden superstructure had fallen into pieces and been gradually carted off; but a sturdy stone foundation remained underground; and, although the flooring over it had for many years been covered with debris and rank growth, so as to be undistinguishable to common eyes from the general earth around it, the great cellar
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042096
still extended beneath, and, according to weird rumor, had some secret access for OLD MORTARITY, who used it as a charnel store-house for such spoils of the grave as he found in his prowlings. To the spot thus historied the two moralists of the moonlight come now, and, with many tumbles, Mr. McLAUGHLIN removes certain artfully placed stones and rubbish,
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042097
and lifts a clumsy extemporized trap-door. Below appears a ricketty old step-ladder leading into darkness. "I heard such cries and groans down there, last Christmas Eve, as sounded worse than the Latin singing in the Ritualistic church," observes McLAUGHLIN. "Cries and groans!" echoes Mr. BUMSTEAD, turning quite pale, and momentarily forgetting the snakes which he is just beginning to discover
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042098
among the stones. "You're getting nervous again, poor wreck, and need some more West Indian cough-mixture.--Wait until I see for myself whether it's got enough sugar in it." In due time the great nervous antidote is passed and replaced, and then, with the lighted lanterns worked around under their arms, they go down the tottering ladder. Down they go into
60
gutenberg
twg_000000042099
a great, damp, musty cavern, to which their lights give a pallid illumination. "See here," says OLD MORTARITY, raising a long, curved bone from the floor. "Look at that: shoulder-blade of unmarried Episcopal lady, aged thirty-nine." "How do you know she was so old, and unmarried?" asks the organist. "Because the shoulder-blade's so sharp." Mr. Bumstead is surprised at this
