A GRAMMATICAL TRAGEDY.* Sally Saulter «he was a young teacher and taught. And her friend Charley Church was a preacher who praught; Though his friends all called him a sereecher, who ecraught. His heart when he saw her, kept sinking and sunk. And his eye meeting bers, kept winking, and wank; While she, in turn, fell to thinking and thunk. He hastened to woo her, and sweetly he wooed. For his love grew until to a mountain it grewed, And what he was longing to do then he deed. In secret he wanted to speak and he spoke. To seek with his lips what bis heart long had soke; So he managed to let the truth leak, and it loke. He asked her to ride to the church and they rode, They so sweetly did glide that they both thought they glode, And they came to the place to be tied, and were tode. They homeward he said let us drive, and they drove, And as soon as th< y wished to at rive, they arrove; For whatever he couldn’t contrive, she controvo. The kiss he was dying to steal, then he stole, At the feet where he wanted to there he knole; And he said, I feel better than ever I foie.” So they to each other kept clinging, and clung. While Time on his swift circuit was winging and swung J Auil this waa the thin:: he was bringing, and brung. The man Sally wanted to catch, and had caught, That she wanted from others to match, and hadsaught— Was the one that she now liked to scratch, and had ecraught And Charley’s warm love began freedn 2, and frose. While he took to teseinsr, and cruelly tose. The girl he had wished to be squeezing and squose. “Wretch!” he cried, when she threatened to leave hlua and left. How could you dsceive me. as you have deceit f” And she answered, “I promised to cleave, and I’ve cleft I’’ — Punchinello. JKlbcellanfons. Franc Tirrcrs—Somethino About the French Sharp-Shooters. —There has been much argument on the street ant ing the reading public, as to the correct definition of the word fianc-tireurs, and in the printing offices among a fraternity who aie more directly interested in being assured of the correct definition of words in foreign languages than any other working class of the community The word franc in the French language, means free, and tireur, a shooter, and in France, by the payment of a trifling sum of money, any one may ob tain a license to keep a gun, and shoot freely after all the necessary formulas are gone through, hence he is a jranc tireur, or free shooter. Many in this country suppose them to he sharp-shooters, but the French word for sharp- shooter is tirailleur . ,*uu it can oe reaany perceived that there is no similarity between that and franc tireur. They may he sharp-shooters, it is true, but it is due to their constant practice during the shooting season in France, and to that same license which guarantees to them the free use of arms, and from which cause many of them may knock out a Prussian's eve as nently as Daniel Boone harked a squirrel, Nor are they guerrillas, as many believe. Thev do not wander about, way oiv-ng struggling parties of the enemy, or p uodering and rendering homeless the disaffected of their nationality. Many of trmm are high-toned young noblemen, whose faces would rouge to the roots of the hair, and whose swords would leap from Hi*- seaohard at such a slur upon the family h n< r. And when King Wil iam sees fit to hurl his legions against the walls of Paris, they will meet with a reception from those free-shooting peasanty and sporting gentle men that will bring forth many a round oa»h in grammatical German, and told in history as only equal to the rapid slaughter .f the King’s English by Jackson's Ken tuckians at, Chsilmette. They were franc tireurs and tiralleurs too. And this is the best idea that can be conveyed of the meaning of t >e word. How Gable Messags* are Transmitted. —The Journal of the Telegraph thus de scribes the manner in which European news is sent over the cable : ‘•Here is a man sitting ir. a dark room at Heart’s Content. The ocean cable termin ates here. A fine wire attached thereto is made to surround two small c res ot soft iron. As tho electric wave, produced bv a few pieces of copper and zinc at Valentia, passes through the wire, these cores become magnetic en.-ugh to move the slighest ob j ct. A looking-glass, half an inch in diameter, is fixed <»n a bar of iron one tenth of an inch square and half an inch loDg. On this tiny glass a lamp is made to glare so that its light is reflected on a tablet on the wall. The language ol the cable is de noted by the shifting of this reflect and light from side to side Letter by letter is thus expressed in this flitting idiom, in utter silence, on the wall. There is no record made by the machine except as the patient watcher calls out to a comrade the trans lated flashes as they come, and which he records. It seems like a miracle of pa tience. There is something of awe creeps over us as we see the evidence of human touch 3.00 > miles away, swaying that tide of light.” Democratic Gain in I >wa or 10.000. A correspondent wnting to the Chicago Times und» •• de'e of Oct. 18tb, says ; “Rejoicing wi»h vou <»ver the late results in Indiana, (an I m jjht say every where es the radi cal tnaj rities have he°n cut down largely in all qua ter-), I trust you will take counts; •. and advocate with more zeal (if possible) than ever, the great democratic principles which will soon control the votes of be American people. The Democracy of lowa have succeeded in cutting d<>wn the radical majority from 40,000 to 30.000. and it is to be hoped that after three years more of radical rule that the intelligent people of lowa will blot out the party of high tariff, bigo and aD army of office-holders, who are kept in office for the purpose of getting the spoils.” The Journal of Commerce truly remarks • hat * a bns'ness house is not well knowD, it should become so bv liberal advertising ; and the better it becomes known for fair transactions the larger its business, especial ly wh en it makes a publio promise of liber ality” About Marrying.— Fanny Fern says : Occasionally youog men of good charaeter indulge in gloomy doubts concerning the average American women, hut such doubts cun easily be traced to disappointed affec tion, or perhaps it may be prod jeed by the horrors of a cheap boarding-house. Mar riage is sanctioned by God and comm >n sense. It is the only means wherehv a yonDg man in this age and country can hope to lead a respectable and cleanly life. But there are two classes of persons who are exempt from its j »ys and sorrows ; If you, vouDg man, are deaf, dumb, lame, blind and idiotic, and if your ancestors have been such, or if you are so mean that your life is that of a friendless, snarling cur, and you could not be anything else, even to your wife, you may stand inside. If you, youn* man, have conceived that ambition so common now-a-days. of a “fast man;" if you have made up your mind to keep a fast horse and a concubine; if your idea of happiness is to have your hands full of cards and your stomach full of oysters; if you, in short, have made vour arrange ments to go straight to perdition, without change of cars, you’d better not marry. You will spend the money that the honora ble man lavishes on a home and its “light and life," on painted creatures who drag your polluted name through every sink in this land ; who will display the jewelry and gifts you have bestowed on them, and curse you w ith a glib, round oath for a spooney and a fool. You, too economical to marry, will have plenty to spend on long-haired cot-thruats, who will leave you at last, it may be, to die wifeless and childless, amid the dust and cobwebs of a garret. A Diamond Brllb n South Africa —A writer who professes to have visited the diamond regions of South Africa, and of Which be relates marvelous tales, quite throwing in the shade those told in the “Arabian Nights," describes a reception given by President Brandt of the Transvaal Republic. We make an extract : “Some of the court ladies present appear ed to be almost laden down with diamonds. They also wore the riches material in dress es, and the brilliant diamonds were shown off to their greatest advantage when con trasted with the dark complexions of 6ome of the distinguished female guests from ad joining States. One lady in particular made a special display of th“ir jewels. Her dark hair was rolled and puffed, and fa>rly stud ded with brilliants. She wor*- ring clusters outside of her white kids, and gold bracelets with galaxies of starry gems. On her bosom she wore a single brilliant valued at £11."00. This precious gem set again*r a background us black p tint lace, shone foit > with the lustre of Venus, as she Sumetirnes appears through an opening in a heavy bank of clouds, with a cold, dark sky be yond. The heavy flounces of her dress were looped up all around and fastened with clusters oi the same picuiuuo j. As she paseed across the room and turned around, the piercing rays would shoot con tinually from the dark folds, positively daz ziing to the eyes of a spectator. The handle of her fan even glittered with small gems. A person might have gone behind her in a crowd and plucked whole fortunes from her person by handfuls," One of the most interesting political con tests is now in the State of Mis souri, and its results rr<*miee to be of the most gratifying character to the conserva tives of the whole country. The struggle is confined to the ranks of the Radicals themselves, who are split up into two fac tions—one adhering to the old Gorrupt and prescriuti e policy of the party, while the other takes ground in favor of liberal and just reforms, and under the directions of some of the ablest and most popular leaders, have more distinct nominations and expect to elect them, and effect a thorough revolu tion in the State. They have the sympa thy and will doubtless receive the aid of the Conservative party «*f the State, who have made no nominations of their own. To thwart this result, President Grant has brought his official power to bear, and threatens to displace those federal office holders who dare to give their support to the liberal party. This threat has already been executed in some instances ; but the effect has been simply to-arouse the indig nation of these liberal Missourians at this unwarranted interference, and to make them more* determined in their efforts.— Maine Standard Salt—Effect on the Blood.— Dr. Stev ens, a French physician and surgeon, saw a butcher killing a pig. He observed that he stirred the blood of the animal and added a handful of common salt to it while stir ring, which immediately made it crimson, and on the stirring being discontinued the blood remained fluid. The change of the color of the blood awnkened his curiosity. The butcher could give no explanation of the phenomenon except that it kept it from jellying and spoiling. Dr. Stevens seized a vessel, caught som* 1 blood, aud made sev eral experiments by putting salt in it. nn<l found that the blackest blood was insta* tiy changed to a bright vermillion bv sari. *oh,’ said he, ‘here is a lact which may lead to a practical rule ’ He observed in cases of yellow fever in the army that the blood drawn w»s very black and fluid, and on adding salt it be came vermillion and retained its freshness, whereas the putridity of the bio >d was one of the characteristics of the yeilow fever. He therefore abandoned ihe usual mode of treating it and gave his patients a mixture of salts, and in a vtry rdmrt time reduced the mortality of fever in «he West Indies from one in five to one in A man and his wife were opposing candi dates for an office in Wyoming, and the odds seemed to be in favor < f the husband, but one morning he came down town look ing weary and sleepy, and formally with drew fnom the canvass in favor of bis wife, who was triumphantly elected. They say she kept him awake seven nights trying to induce him to withdraw, and finally suc ceeded. He had a bandage around his head and one arm in a siing toe morning h*» withdiew. He say he would do any thing for a quiet life Gall and wormwo and and S"Cotrine aloes make up the diet of Indiana Radicals since the election. They take them desperately to heart, but they will get used to it io the oour6e of the next decade. FioniiNG the Doctor.— The other day a commercial traveler, arriving at a hotel, asked the stable-boy where his master was. B<>y—Master can’t be seen, sir. Traveler—Why not? Boy—Cause he is fighting the doctor in the stable, oir. Traveler- Fighting the doctor 1 Boy—Yes, sir, and his nose is all knock ed one eye is out, ad the other is fast going Traveler—Horrible! where? Let me see where they are. Boy—Oh, sir, but the doctor has got no feelings. Master is to fight the other doc* tor afterwards. Traveler—Doctors have little feelings at any time, but let me go and separate them. Boy—Can’t separate them, sir ; doctor is fixed to a sack, and tied to the wall. Traveler—Send for the police 1 Help! help! The bewildered traveler then rush ed into the stable, and found the landlord, doffed to the buckskins, his hair on end. and his eyes rolling in his head, b'iskly belaboring the portrait of a stalwart nodi cal practitioner drawn with chalk on a bag filled with straw and tied to the stable wall! West Virginia. — Let all the roosters in the land spread themselves! The news from the West Virgin a t on of last w eek. is gloriously Democratic 1 Thousa .ds of the white men of the State were disfranchised ; an infamous registration law in the hands of Radical villia» s was used to perpe uate the Radical power in the State; the negroes where en franchised and voted solidly with the Radi cals; yet, all was insufficient to stay the on rolling tide of Democracy, and for the first time since its organization in 1862, the State rolled up the handsome Democratic majority of from three to five thousand, elected two Democratic Congressmen (there are but three in the State) and a Democrat ic majority of a dozen in the Legislature, which will a the victory by electing a Democratic United States Senator ! West Virginia! you’re a sound egg aft»*r all! Do it some more.— Mahoning Vindi * cator. A writer in The Age (Philadelphia), who seems to be Gen. Cadwallader after and emphatic but not indiscriminate lauda tion of Gen, Lee’s military genius, says : “It is not our aim to day to criticise, nor to broach political questions, hut to pay our tribute of respect and honor to a great man. who fought fairly and nobly on the side he took, sincerely believing it to be, accord ing to his light, the side to which patriotism and honor summoned him. There are too many men in the world who willfully go wrong from base and venal and selfish mo tives. Let us be charitable to the bi ave and -- J v> * 1 * • judgment is fallible, the circumstances of their position difficult, and the path of duty, which they wish to follow, is not, to their eyes, clearly discernible." The following curious sentence, “ Sator arepo teret opera rotas, " is not first-class Latin, but may be freely translated : “I cease from my work ; the mower will wear bis wheels," it is, in fact, something like a nonsense verse, but has these peculiari ties : 1. It spells backward and forward the same. 2. Then t:-e first letter of each word spells the first word. 3. Then all the second letters of each word spells the sec ond word. 4 Then all the third, ar and i-O on thiough the fourth and fifth. 5.
