: LIKE A MAN.
BT GEOKOK HOWI-AXO.
AVith conseioiHness of power,
But no call to serve the State, i
Sat a maiden hour by hour
Fiercely wrangling with her fate,
Lonslnu with the world to mix,
J'lay a part lu polities,
Could she, braving custom's ban,
Freely do so like a man.
Lon the struggle and severe,
. Heaps of fancies strewed the field,
Mounted with many a bitter tear ;
But one point siie would not yield ;
Public life to make her own,
Home for Honor to postpone ;
She would lead freedom's van,
And would do so like a man.
Every pleasure now denied.
All her energies were bent.
With a chosen, earnest guide.
To her tme development ;
'Neath whose guidance her employ
Soon became her tniest joy.
While his fondest thoughts all ran
I'pon her ; so like a man.
Sometime finding his distraught.
She in playful humor, turned
With a penny for his thought,
Which lie had no sooner earned
Than a strangeness o'er hr came.
Something that she couhl not iuuae.
For it was not in her ilan.
That she could so like a man.
Lexicon ami labored tome,
All are put aside unread ;
To the making of a home.
One live man 'gr.inst all the dead ;
Quickly new her beau ideal,
Ii the presence of the real.
Half unconsciously began
To become so like a man.
Though for better or for worse,
Now her Itubicon is past.
Yet the true, heroic verse
Still she fancies to the last.
Only blest when two more feet.
Life's hexameters complete.
Where she satisSed can scan
The full likeness of a man.
DOESTIC'KS.
In the Toml--rosi!! velj for Ouo Nirjht
flirty.
I've had an exju'vif-nro not but what
I've had several before but this is a
i new one, also orijrintii. Four nis?lit.s
! i'.rro, T had been with a fricrvi no m;it
i terwho; toa certain elio-h.i!se named
i no matter what ; and I had taken
him, thnt is, tic-oiniiaiiied lti:a to his
houso no matter where. I, then, like
Mr. E. E. J. Gray's weary iiiouichnian.
proceeded to homovard ilod :r.y way,"
when I,! (not a Modoi; .-r any other
Ind, but N! the temiitation is trieat,
! but I won't sav itI 1m held anmn nros-
trate on the walk. I ran up to sec
if I
coma lie ip mm: m a minute one o
! those valuable fftiardians of our rights
f and lilerties, a xlirti nan. came tij and
i saluted me over the. head with a blow
i of his club. Whether iuy heels struck
j the middle of the street before or tifter
j my head fell into thy ash-barrel. I am
I not even now able to determine. "When
I I awoke, yir. Police
j ftuiiblinir through i
Gentleman was
lailen man S
j clothing, probably loosening his braces
'for fear of apoplexy, or small-pox, r
j cerebro-spinal chilis and fever. Polic-
I man saw me revive. Policeman m
j stantly rapped with his big stick on
; sidewalk. Policeman Xo. 2 came. Mu
i Policeman hit mear.other rap to stimu-
laxe lite to immediate action, previously
giving the fallen man over to M. I
j Xo. 2, who lugged him oil with many
j curses on tlie "dead beat" who had so
j thoroughly "gnu through him." I
j didn't understand what he meant ex-
actiy ; some ollicial language of the po
I lice, I supposed.
j When I woke up after my second
j delicate attention from my policeman's
j club, I was in a cell in the Tombs. I
! v:w told I couldn't get out till morn
ing. Asked what I w:is charged with,
ami was told to "shut up, if I didn't
want my jaw mashed." I didn't want
ray ' jaw mashed," having ljeen already
sufticientlv amused in that manner, so
I "shut up."
Cell was cold, and wet, and dirty, and
cobwebby, and well, neither the city
nor the essence of Cologne could be
compared to the perfume it. It had,
however, one advantage; it was a so
cial, companionable sort of place. I
i had for friends three Oilier gentlemen.
one of whom had been "taken in" for
garroting. one for car robbery, and the
other for a playful attempt to brain
his most intimate friend with a sledge
hammer. Tlie raving maniac in the
next cell on our right, who howled all
night like a hungry wolf, amused me
somewhat; but wasn't so funny as
the gentleman on our left, who had de
lirium tremens, and who swore one
perpetual swear from midnight till
dawn, in a meliow voice, that kept
everybody awake within a mile and a
quaiter; ami neither of these was quite
so interesting as the woman who was
brought in -crazy drunk, and who beg
ged all night, at the top of her voice for
the pleasant- privilege of cutting out
pome other lady's liver, aud who per
sistently, in intermittent sehreeches,
execrated and anathematized the Door
man, whose arduous duty it was to
club her over the head every fifteen
minutes in order to send her into a
peaceful slumber.
A discussion soon sprung up among
my cell ctim pan ions - alfmt me one
wanted to kick my unoffending bowels
out; another to mash my innocent ;
skull ; while the third proposed to com- j.
nronii.se the matter on condition of iuv i
agreeing to ay till their fines in tht
morning. While they were quarreling
over my watch and money, 1 seized the
opportunity and a Dilly or Neddy or
Jwrtiny. (I'm not well up in my lbir
glarese), and knocked all three of them
senseless. I and Jimmy stood guard
over these chaps tiil daylight; when
one would stir cither Jimmy would hit
him or I would generally both.
Went. into court at 7 a. m. My po
liceman swore" that he saw me knock
the man down, and then pick his pock
ets ; also, that he had known me for
years ' as a thief, aud had arrested me
with his own club twenty-seven times.
In fact, . the Justice, the .. Hon. Mr.
Growling, did mo the honor to state to
the assembled - multitude that - he dis
tinctly recognized me as a gentleman
he had sent to the Penitentiary for two
years some six months ago., and. he
wanted to know how I got out so Boon,
-j-as if I had no political friends to get
me out of trouble, if I had ever got
into it, and as if il was any of his busi
ndsssV.nyhow. - ... .. "

Paid a man 83 to t:tke a message to
my friend to come and get me out;

having taken four hours to carry my
note, three blocks and a half.
. Friend knew Growling, the Justice;
told him he had been with me all the
evening before, and that I wuldn't be
the criminal, and so I wa.s at last al

This morning, my friend Scroggins
tells me thatl was served right; that
1 had no business to be putting on Jiny
of my Good Samaritan airs, trying to
help "a fallen man; that such tilings,
together with justice and morality and
decency, and many ; other obsolete
vices of our ancestors, are all played
in New York. I asked , him what I
should have done. Our conversation,
ran somewhat as follows:
"Wise and Worldly Seroggins You

California, passeil through Lincoln, last
Aveek, and one of the Joitnwl men in
terviewed them Avith the following re
sult:. ' . - : . - ' -it...
-We asked him what he had been df
ing, and lie told us building Melican
man's steam horse path. In answer-to
bow much lie got per day, he showed
us a dollar bill, aud a fifty "cent curren
cy piece, and informed us. that he "no
likee Melican m tn's money." lie ex
pressed his belief that Cairo, Ills., and.
Lincoln, Neb., were the two cities in
which a native of the Celestial Empire
could most , readily revel .at Lis ease.
"Heap .rat-ee there," said he. "Rat-ee
under Videwa'lk-Tun ftistee. Chintv

Strongs-make Chinanum do much
workee. Good for Chhuiman's stttnii
jack. ' t -hinanian throw much dirt on
Melican man's steam horse path, when
Iiim eat much ratee." The old gentle
man was growing enthusiastic on the
subject, and we told him that he ought
to stop over in Lincoln a few days, and
he might gather a few bushels of rats,
t-i take with him. and that the people
tf our city wouldn't charge them a cent
for all he" captured, killed and carried
away. The, idea tickled the old infidel
so that he looked a little less sorrowful
for an instant, and then dexterously
tossing a mouthfuil of rieo into his
mouth, he resumed his former expres
sion of gentle, sorrowful imbecility.
We next entered upon a political dis
cussion. The old heathen having been
employed; in shoveling dirt on a rail
rotui, considered himself authority on
all railroad matters, and laid heard of
Credit Mobilier. lie said they didn't
have such things in the Celestial land,
and informed us that he had a brother
once a near relation on the father's
side of his mother, who once attempted
to get up a corner on paper kites, and
he had to-repent for it. "How did lie
repent," we queried. lie told us that
the Mandarin "no likee dat. He pay
him visits much soldiers come wiz

head off, by tun shoulder."
We next traversed the shores of the
theological sen, and the old sage, vol
unteered this information: "Melican
man dam fool," much dam fool. Pm
joss, no joss. I'm pray to no joss. Um
say luvo josft, but um pray to no joss.

Boom! iloom! That no pray. Melican

This irreverent piece of logic was de
livered by the old heathen in the most
solemn manner possible, the gestures
being made with a pair of dirty, greasy
chopsticks. The sentiments expressed,
so jarred upon our orthodox feelings,
that we conclude to put an end to tho
conference, aud telling the old repro
bate that he was a heathen of the deep
est, most gorgeous dye, and that a
course of Sunday School was the best
thing next to a dose of poision for him,
we departed, followed . by -thankee,

Henry Clay and the Clown. . .
Sam Long, a ' well-known circus
clown, tells the following story of
Henry Clay: "I remember once we
entered Lexington in procession, and
it just happened that Henry Clay was
driving in at the same time. I brought
up the rear of the procession, riding a
mule. As he was directly behind me,
I turned my face to the ass's tail and
sang out: 'Here we are, felloW-citizens,
Wisdom led by Folly.' ' The people
laughed ami shouted, and old Harry
seemed greatly amused. The next day
at the circus 1 made him a speech, in
which I advised him to be President of
the United States, and take, me in his
Cabinet; That night he , sent mo a
bottle of the-finest wine I ever 'tasted,
with his compliment, saying ' 'From
the poorest- fool to the best' clown in
the United States.'' Ah, sir,,thQi'e was

AUTIIOii AM) JOURNALIST.
-
In bis recent address be fere the In
diana State Editorial Association, Mr.
Henry Watt rson, of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, bewailed the futile
efforts of misguided literary genius to
compete in bocks with the intellectual
excellencies of the newspaper of the
period. "I do not mean," said he, "to
disparage Longfellow and Whittier and
Lowell, Motley and Bancroft ; and I
hope I shall not be suspected of seek
ing to steal a titular distinction for our
craft at the expense of our greatest
humorist, if T declare that the morning
paper is the only autocrat of the break
fast table. ( "When I consider the labor
and the learning tint are devote ! to
books, which will be fortunate if they
get sight of ten thousand readers, and
observe the increasing audiences which
are gathered about the press. I mourn
in silence but in sorrow at the siglit of
such young men as Bret llarte aud Jo
quin Miller an Markd Twain throwing
themselves away, and 1 rejoice and am
exceedingly glad in the salvation to
journalism and to the world of a soul
so precious as that of John Hay. Bad
inage aside, my serious meaning is that
every age has its interpreter. There
was the age of . the drama; there was
the age of the pamphlet; there was
the age of the novel. This is the age
of the newspaper."

Considerable interst has been ex
ctited by the announcement of the cap
ture, by Seth Green, equally famous as
fisherman A. as pisciculturist, of a huge
fish in ' Chatauqua .Lake, vsliidi tlie
newspapers of tho interior of Xew
York find it diliicult to classify. They
describe it-as six feet in length, and
weighing 1"1 pi muds, as having one
back and three beily fins, a head of re
markable construction, a mouth open
ing far bade ivnd wida enough to re
ceive a nail cak. Toe inside of tlie
mouth is said to be covered with a spe
cies of coarse hair, resembling the
smll feathers or down of an ostrich.
Projecting front the upper jaw is a spe
cies of shovel blade, which it b? thought
must have been intended for throwing i
f.)odi:.to the montl. As the fish has no
teeth, it was supposed to subsist : upon '
animalcuks or other substances float- 1
ing in the water;
The notices proceed. further to etate
that there is no (i-h described as be
longing to the. Iskes at all resembling
tlie one referred to; and what it is, and
how it got into the lake, are questions
extremely puzzling. But the solution
of the mystery seems exceedingly sim
ple. The fish is nothing more than tho
