THE merchants of Hastings held a
mass meeting , recently , at which they
resolved not to ship anything over the

over an'other road. Hastings is ambi

claims that she can't get the right rate ;
therefore , be it resolved , etc.
SEVEX thousand bills have been in
troduced in congress during the present
session. Three only have been passed
and signed by the president , and these
three are of trifling importance. This
is the record of the session. It is on
interesting exhibit of democratic imbe
cility and waste of time and money be
longing to the public.
SUITS for damages under the Slocumb
law are becoming very common. In
most cases judgment for damages are
secured in reasonable amounts. This
excellent feature of the Slocumb law is
destined to become more and more oft'ec-

violating it. Bondsmen may as well un
derstand that their signatures arc not a
matter of form. Sutton Register.
THE reporter who was inveigled by
Parson Downs of Boston and his attor
ney into a room and there locked in and
pounded by the parson is reported to
have written in a chastened way that he
' has no hard feelings against the par
son. " The Reverend Downs ought to
give him another beating. He ought to
be a little ashamed of having failed to
whip the reporter when he had an oppor-

from Bunnah ? hnw that the
British are having a weary time of it in
trying to perfect their conquest of that
country. It is evidently one thing to
overcome the resistance of a feeble and
hali-hoarted regular army and sei/.e the
principal towns of a wooded country in
a tropical climate , and a very different
task to capture or disperse the irregular
bands swarming in its forests or remote
regions. King Thebaw was easily over
thrown , but there is every prospect ot
long and arduous campaigning before
Burmah shall become a quiet and peace
ful British province.
' 'BRETHREN/'said the Rev. Sam Jones
in his closing sermon at Cincinnati ,
"you'd better do like Chicago brag on
yourself and stand by yourself , " and
then he told this story : At an exper
ience meeting an old colored brother got
up and said : "Breddern , I are the
meanest nigger in this country. I'll
steal , and I'll tell lies , and I'll get drunk ,
and there ain't a mean thing in God's
world I won't do.1' Well , he took his
seat , and then a great big yellow brother
jumped up and said : "Br'ern , T have
heerd Br'er Stevd's confession , nnd it's
true , 'fore God. "

The quaint poem , of the title page of which
the above is a transcript , appeared nearly
half a century earlier than Paradise Lost , and
It is intrinsically probable that it would have
fallen under the eye of Milton ; iu any case
there are striking points of resemblance bej j
tween the two poems , and many have sup- )
posed Milton's immortal work to have been j
inspired by the former. Only two copies of i
'
the work are known to be iu existence pre-
vious to the issue of the present edition , < me !
being iu the British Museum , the other in the '
Bodleian Library , Oxford. The copy in the j
British Museum was purchased at a noted |
sale of old books in 1819 , by Baron Bolland , |
