to sco that they don't make t?o free with ns,
shoving their foot under our mahogany without
a proper invite, reported a resolution to provide
or the expenses ot our showing ourselves In
ran next yearv The resolution provides lor the
expenses of furniture, etc., in that part of the
Exhibition Building appropriated to US. Mr.
Sumner thinks that among the furniture there
ought to be
ONE FRIIDMEN'S BUREAU,
at least, with colored "knobs" in the drawers;
and to give Johnny Crapcan a still further favor
able impression of our Cabinet making qualities,
it 1b recommended by Mr. Sherman, of Ohio,
that there be exhibited alongside of the Bureau,
THE STAND PRESIDENT JOHNSOH MADE
in opposition to the Bureau. Mr. Wilson, of
Mass., also was in favot of introducing to the
notice of the Kephew III a real
AMERICAN ZOO-ZOO,
jaodelled on the French pattern, with the
American attachment, showing that there must
le some flre where there is so much smoke.
In the natural history department will be ex
hibited an American Copperhead, the most
venomous of all reptiles, striking at the hand

"left out in the cold" for about five years, it still
chows figns of life, wriggling along on Its belly
lay a number of ce-toes, not discerhable to a
superficial observer. To see these Johnny Cra-
peau must open his eyes.
prom our own correspondent
The Camp Fenian Movement.
New Yobk, April 6, 18G8.
To the Series Editor: I succeeded at last in
getting into the secrets of the Union Square
officials by treating "Jimmy," the Janitor, to
a good glass of Fenian fluid. So it might bo
said that, like a first-class cracksman, I pryed
into the secrets of the Cabinet by means of a
jimmy. I found very little circulating, except
rumors: greenbacks were scarce. I soon found
out the point of attack to be the city of Amboy,
situated at the end of the Camden Railroad
This city has already a large Fenian population,
who are familiar with the use of arms, both
Boxes of them; the men to heavy lifting and
iauling of crates, and the women to washing
and carrying babies. It is planned that tho
army shall go down to the battery in four Horse
Cars, f o hs not to attract the attention of the
UritiBh Consul, wbo has his office near the City
Hall.
They will then take a coal barge and engage a
propeller to tow them to the scene of conflict;
when once ashore at Amboy they will seize the
telegraph office, the coal-scales, and the locomo
tive "turn-table;" when once in possession of
that, it is expected that things will take a turn.
The State of New Jersey will then be declared a
portion of Ireland. Plans will be laid to cap.
ture Mr. Bcovel alive; when It is believed that,
after having secured him, the whole State will
bclsubducd. Measure will then bo taken to
jn
lay out the State into four ' provinces similar to
Ireland Mahohla, Bweeneyana, Seovelanla, and
Fenia, Jn honor of the four governing poweri ol
th age. President Johnson will then be invited
to acknowledge the State, and to Issue a procla
mation, declaring that there is no war there.
The Btote will then be immediately recon
structed by sending two Senators to the United
States Senate, instead of one, as at present
E.The cire'ltUon Is planned with the greatest
sccresy, nobody but tho Commander-in-Chief,
who will dress in snuff-colored cloth and green
trimmings, and your correspondent.who dresses
in n light grey business suit without trimmings,
know anything about it: even the. Bargeman
thinks it a shipment of navvies for the Camden
and Amboy 11. It. Co., and indeed, it will take
all of the executive ability of the officers of .the
expedition to prevent the men from going to
work for wages when they arrive, as many of
them are pretty hard up, but with some good
speeches about the wrongs of old Ireland and
enough to cat4to kecp'.them from getting hungry,
it Is believed they can be kept in good enough
order to Inn (1 without tumbling overboard.
Before this moots tho public eye there will bo
some exciting events to record. Your own cor
respondent will have his eyes about him, and
no correspondent Fhall get ahead of him in the
news. Tlio reporter of tho N. Y. World asked
me out to take a diink this afternoon, but you
may lely upon it. he got nothing out of inc,
neither can anybody else.
Your Own Cohresi'Ondent.
Mrs. rnrtlngton on Politics.
Mr. Serious Editor: What's tho master w ith
poor Mr. Scurvey, the Camden man, at Trenton ?
Why don't he go wiih the Joint Ballet Troupe ?
Can't he dance? When my husband was alive
he used to explain politics and President Jack-
bou to me, but now I can't understand them.
When the General made a veto my husband
said it was the glorlousest thing he ever saw. I
winh he was alive, now to see the vetoes; I be
lieve he would go off in a Transport to Wash
ington. 'Yourd,
