POETICAL.
A LOCK OF OBAY HAIR.
An earthly rolio, left to us of one
Of whom all other mortal trace has rono :
Somothing still held of ths dear form sbebors,
Looking as H may oit nave loosed oi yore,
Ere she had trodden on the unknown shore.
Yet not ths same th ere Is a mist of tears,
Of tonder memories of bygone ysars :
A sense of grief and loss, 'noath whloh we bow,
That hangs around that saered relio now,
Unthought of when It lay upon Her brow.
Ah ! beautiful It la, though earthly '. She Wat fair
As even fow of earth's gifted daughters are;
And yet toe moid ner lorm was inanionea in
Was but tbe spirit's true Interpreting,
She a King's daughter, "glorious within."
There seems to fall upon this tress of gray,
Light, as trom another, purer day,
A day to which she mounted through ths night
Of earthly trial ; as the looks grew white.
The tout was stretching forward to ths light.
And now ths hill is climbed, tbe day la clear ;
The shades of death, through which we cannot poor,
Knoirolo us, not ner ours is tne gloom,
The darkness, and ths mystery of the tomb,
Through which the spectres that affright us loom.
Tiers It a glorious Resurrection LI Co
Battling with death, triumphant in the strife.
We mourn her loss, weep for her raoant placo,
And lore her every footstep to retrace,
While she rosta nobly, having won the raeo.

Tub Impeaciimekt Matter Meeting ok
the Cabinet and Mb. Nasbv How tbe
Democracy take it,
Washisgton. D. C. March 8, 1808. Tho
most affectin time I ever egesperienced in
this wale o' teers, wuz in Waabinton last
trite. His Eggslcucy telcgrafft roe to come
on to Wasiiioton, and I obeyed. I hevn't
tied much to him reecctly, but I coodent
forgit that he first gave me the offla I live
on, tuai ills uunorcu namu is ni vim uuuuiu
uv the commishun I hold, acd I felt that I
ought at least to be with bitn while he wuz
dissolutin. I determined that tie shood dror
his last offiahil breath onto my faithful buz
rum.
I arrived late, and at wunst perceeded to
the Executive Manshen. It wuz a fumilyer
scccd. Tuor wuz Seward, liandall, becro
tary Welles and the President, and all uv
em trraver than the saintly raven uv the
statelv davs uv voro. Tho President wuz a
trvin to keen a stiff upper lip, but I cood
see teers a follorin each other adown his
holler checks in rapid succession "lie's a
goner 1" thot I, "no man kin stand that drain
on bis flooids. No matter how much be
mav take in. that pace will kill any one."
The President wuz a rcedin telegrams and
letters, and tbey wuz not uv a carikter to
plceze him. The first wuz from August
Belmont, and red tuus :
"I hev, cz yoo know, tbe highest possi
ble regard for yoor Eggslency, and shol
regret esceedinly to seo you deprived uv
yoor liigu oma ; out, reeiy, yoo Kin scaceiy
egjspeci tue uimocnay to euiimrruss itiom
selves by cspousic yoor coz. Tbe fact is,
no party lievin a fucber before it kin tie
i iuelf to a ded past. The tecmster draws a
sib over a ilead mule, but ez a acu muio
cau't draw his cart, he natcrally turns hi
eves onto them still possest uv vitality,
hone voo see tbe pint, without my cxplainin
it. Excuse mo for comparin yoo to a ded
mule, but the simile wuz tbe first that ecjest
ed itself to me.
"With profound respect, I am, etc
"P. 8. Should bizms call mo to Tonnes
see, I siiel do myself tbe honor to call on
yoo in yoor uigniucu retirement.
The President wiped an avalanche uv
tceis wich follered the reedin uv this uq
fcelin letter, and the next wuz opened :
Mavsville, Ky., Feb. 30, '08. Wood a
regiment uv Irish raised in this place be uv
any servis t Anscr I
J. A.
" ," sed Randall, "the wholo county
Lonly polls 800 votes, and that cuss bez bin
i oom
oriu me for a place in the department for
over a year. Drive on."
The next wuz from Vallandygum
"Since the disgraceful exhibisbn yoor
friends made uv theirsclves at the Philadel
phia Convenshn, I didn't consider myself
bound to yoo. I, cz yoo know, never took
any stock in half and half mixtcrs. My
defect by Thurman bcznt increased my love
for yoo and yoors. I hev no objecsbun to
yoor holdin yoor Beet to the end of yoor
term, but reely its a matter uv but little con
sekenco to me. Shood yoo pass thro Day
ton on yoor way to Tennessee, I shood bo
glad to extend tbe hospitalities uv my hum
ble house to yoo."
Tbe next wuz from Franklin Pcerse, and
wuz dated at Uoncoril, J. II. :
"I feel for yoo ; that is, I feel for yoo on
genera! principles. (Tbad. Stevens, permit
me to say, in parenthesis, hes bin feeliu fur
yoo, and hes at last, I am satisfied, found
yoo.) I feel for yoo ez I do for every man
who hes a offis and is obleeged to leave it.
Nevertheless, I can't help yoo. I wood, but
yoo see we hev all wo kin do to help our
selves. Uv coorse yoo don't expect tbe
Dimocrisy to take any part in the struggle
between yoo and Congriss. Elected ez a
Republikin, with Republikins in yoor Ca
binet, tbe Dimocrisy, while they applaud
wat yoo hev done, can't uv coorse make
yoor quarrel theirs. When yoo leave Wash
Ington for Tennessee can't yoo take Concord
in yoor way t I hev no objecshun to mioglin
teers with voo."
The next wuz from a Western politishea
lately appinted postmaster :
"Sir : I return the appintmcnt yoo gave
me last month wit a loatum ana skorn.
survived tbe Noo Orleans and Memphis
masaacrees, yoor opposition to the will of

ties uv yoor most damnable administration
but this last attempt to hist Stanton I can't
indorse. Therefore I bolt Yoor uocestsor
will, I hope, do me justice, and likewise the
Benit."
Sed Randall, "that cuss bored mo for bet
ter nor a veer for the appointment, but tbe
Benit wort confirm him. Ob, Wade, what

A prominent Eastern Democrat wrote ez

II. B. MASSER & CO., SUNBURY, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENN'A.
SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH
A Southern Dimokrat wrote :
"Be firm bo firm. Tbe impeachment uv
yoorself will raise sich a storm uv indicna-
atiun in the North, and sich sympathy for
Southern Uiniokratt cz to make the nomi
nushun uv even sich a man es Breckinridge
certain. OI stand firm! Let em impcecb
yoo. Yoo are, now, uv vast ynoso to tho
coz 1 I will meet yoo at Looisvillo and ac
company yoo to Tennessee."
.uculellnn I Pendleton I Breckinritleo 1"
shouted the President ; "what uv me ? Am
to Diced solely lor their good ? 1 don't
want to go to Tennessee, nor I won't. Am
to go out impeecbed for their benefit?
Never 1" And Androo, who isn't quite ez
much uv a philosopher as Sokratcs, busted
into teers, swear in that he'd see cm blest
aforo he'd sakrifis a ruiuit uv his term for
anybody's yoose but his own.
1 lie next wuz from a Assessor in Illinoy,
who went on to remark that he wood be
glad to support him, but a decent regard
tor tuo interests uv Ins lamily inuikated a
different course. He bed espoused tbe coz
uv the Pi'csidcut agin Congris for tho sake
of the position, BDd tho President cood well
understand tuat it wuz no more duhcult to
change now, to keep a otlis, than it wuz to
change two yecrs ago to git one. lie wuz
at tins time bizzily engaged in snpportiu
Congris. "Call it not ingratitood," sed he,
"I wuz in the market then, and am now,
precisely cz wuz all them wich yoo led cap
tive out uv tho Republikin party. He is a
eggregis ass who worships the scttin sun,
wUen by turning around be kin let tue gol
den rays of tho risin orb beam onto him."
At this pint, and loner afore tbe atilictid
President bad recovered from these blows,
Giddy Welles' nephew, who bed bio out on
a scout, returned with a report. First, bo
bed notist that every durued one uv the
cusses who bed bin besccgin in the White
House for appintments, for months past,
wuz now doL'cin Senator Wade around :
that they waited in doors, at tho door uv
the Senit Chamber, and that they beseeged
his hotel. Secondly, that the Constooshnel
Yoonyun Club wuz then in session and wuz
jest debatin the question whether to change
tne name ot the (Jluh, to the "i-kal Jutes as-
sociaslien," the "Imparsbel Suffragi! League,"
or the "Kadiklc motherhood I" Third, that
the conservative clerks in the Departments
wuz all orgaoiziti theirsclves in Grant clubs,
and that ulready ono uv the Department
clubs bed ordered 4,000 Grant medals, turn
in1 in the old Johnson medals they bed bin
woarin B9 part pay.
"Good Heavens I" sed his Etfgelency.
"Wat clso cood yoo expect I" retortid
Randall, "we hot em cheep and they are
cbeep men. I may do the same thing afort-
nite. the experiment uv Duyin up a party
at so much a bed hez bin tried afore, and
bez alluz failed afore, very much liko the
ijeo uv pcrpctooal moshen. Yoo ken git
considerable cnthoosiasm ez long cz yoor
provender holds out, but then . The fact
is yoo didn't get no Republikins worth
heviu, and yoo aint uv uo yooso to tho I)c
mocricy, becoz yoo coodent carry enulT uv
them Republikins over to do era any good.
My deer sir yoor in a tite place. We're re
tired physicians whose sands uv lifo bev
ncerly tun out. I sec afore mo a long vista
uv privit life. I sold myself rather cheep,
but I don't complain. I hev about filled
tbe measure uv my atnbishen people forget
in a few yeurtt, and ef tbey didn't, the
Amcrikin people wou't be crooel eutifT to
hold my children responsible for wat I hev
done. Some uv cm I hev keerfully kep
Im away from Washington for neerly three
ytcrs may yet redeem the name uv Kan
dall, and even ez worthy men by the name
uv Arnold hev managed to live and be re
spectid their vircboos more than balancin
tue unfortinit names they wuz cust with.
But, A. Jobuson, yoor time is short. Tbe
Republikins is furious, and the Dimocrisy
bed ruther see it than not. I, too,- will visit
yoo in yoor retirement in Tennessee."
"More joy A. Johnson In his oggsile feels,
Than 'foro tbeScnit luid him by the heels."
Bv the time he wuz done talkin', tho bal
ance uv em bed all left the room, and when
be wuz done be went too, lcavin no one but
me. Tbe sccen wuz affectin. Droppin his
bed onto my buzzum, tbe scalding teers a
runnin down bis cheeks, he exclaimed in a
boiler voice. "One by one tbey go. Airs.
Cobb first, and tho balance immejitly after.
Oh, wat a world is this I

Ma, Wehsteh, in bis day and iu bis pro.
ductions, was tho recognized "expounder
of tbe Constitution." In a speech delivered
by him in the Uuitcd States Senate, on
February 10, 1830, he made uao of argu
ments identical with those employed by
the supporters of tbe Tenure of Office law
now, as will be seen from the following
extract :
"J think, then, sir, tbat the power of ap
pointment naturally and necessarily includes
the power of removal, where no limitation
is expressed, nor any tenure but that at will
declared. 1 ho power oi appointment Doing
conferred ou the President and Senate, I
think tbe power of removal went along
with it, and should have been regarded as a
part of it and exercised by tho same bands,
"I think the Legislature possesses the
power of regulating tbe condition, duration,
Qualification, and tenure of office in ull
cases where the Constitution has made no
express prcmsion on the subject. I am
therefore, of opinion, that it is competent
for Congress to declare oy law, as one quai
Ideation of the tenure of office, tbat the in
cumbent shall remain in place till the Presi
dent shall remove mm, tor reasons to be
stated to the Senate. And I am of opinion
tbat this qualification, mild and gontle as
it is, will have tome effect in arrestiog tbe
evila which beset the progress of the Gov
ernment, and seriously threaten its future
prosperity.

Tbo Report oat Whisky 1'rands.
Mr. Van Wyck, from the Committee on
Retrenchment of tho House of Representa
tives presented yesterday bis report on the
whwkcy frauds. It is, as everybody knew
it must be, a sad exhibition of private and
official rascality. In districts blessed with
honest assessors and collectors distillation
has almost ceased, while in tho City of New
York, with its horde of Government rogue,
the number of distilleries has increased
since 1800 from ten to twelve to several
hundred. Whiskey has invariably sold in
market for less than tho Government tax of
S3 a gallon, and honust manufacturers who
wished to obey the laws have been driven
out of the business by the competition of
tbe thieves. Laws of Congiess and regu
lations of tho Internal Revenue Department
have alike proved powerless to stop tlieso
frauds. Congress enacted that if whiskv
was sold for less tbah $2 a gallon, the pur
chaser might be required to show that tho
tax bad been paid. This law was easily
evaded. Sometimes fictitious bills were
mado out, sometimes tbo purchaser, after
paying $3 a gallon, received a "present" of
enough whiskey to reduce the cost ot the
wholo to tho market prico.
Then the Com-
missionet ot internal Kcvcnue .issued a I
stringeut order that a receipt for the tax
should accompany all sales. In a few days
tax receipts could be bought in the market
at readily as whisky itself. A recent act
provides that no whiskey shall be taken
from Ware bousos until tho tax is paid.
This, too, has been evaded, and the prico of
tho article bits actually fallen still further
below tho tax. Distilleries and rectifying
establishments comunicatc by secret pipes,
Brands are forged. Inspectors are regularly
bought up. Whisky is registered for
exportation, and then thrown on the market,
barrels of water being shipped in its stead.
Worthless bonds are given and forfeited,
and fraudulent bond-brokers carry on a
regular and lucrative business. Meters have
been tried aud failed, for the ingenuity of
tbe swindlers finds means to make them
register whatever is desired. It is known
that the nnntiul production of whiskey iu
the United States is about 100,000,000 gal
lons, which, at 3 a gallon, ought to yield
a revenue of $300,000,000 ; while the amount
actually collected does not exceed $35,000,-
000. "

most shameful part of the story. Detection
of corrupt officials cannot be difficult. Iu
fact, many of them are well kuown to the
Government, yet they are not even removed
from office : "Not a singlo criminal," says
Mr. Van Wyck's Report, "has been compel
led to disgorge tho fruits of his crime : not
one victim to suffer the pains and penalties
of the violated law." The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, the Secretary of tho
Treasury, havo repeatedly urged tho dis
missal of dishonest revenue officers, but the
President protects them. Commissioner
Rollins testified before the Impeachment
Committee, some time ago, tbat millions
bad been lobt to the country through An
drew Johnson's refusal to execute the reve
nue laws. Ar. )'. Tribune.

At present the committee is concentrating
its attention on Jerusalem, the interest in
bich may bo said to sum up tho interest
in all other places. As truly remarked in
the Saturday Reviow,"It is the HUy City of
Jew, of Moslem, and of Christian alike."
With the two heights, Zion on tho west,
and Moriah on tbe cast, and with tbo .val
ley between, the researches of the Explora
tion Fund have been as yet principally con
ccrncd. Zion was the city of David, the

House Entered by an Army of Kate
A couple of nights ago a small army of
rats, seemingly met togetuer oy concert,
created no small seusation in tbe bouse of a
poor woman on Elizabeth street, by a very
singular proceeding. Tbe woman was lying
in bed asleep with her two nttio ones, wueu
she was aroused by the screams of the chil-
drcd. On awaking she was horrified to find
tho bed fairly covered with rats, while tho
. - . , i , . . .
Moor ot the loom was almost uibck. wuu
them. Iler children at her sido were screom
ing wildly, not alone through terror, but
through uain also, for the vermin had seized
them by the nose, cars anu i-uee&a, auu
wero rapidily settliug themselves uowa ou
every part of their faces. Of courso, with
a mother's instinct, the woman immediately
rescued her little ones, while the rats scam
pored off in all directions and quickly dis
appeared. The faces- of the children were
cut and bleeding in several places, and the
wnunda of tha nose OI one OI tuem were
so serious that Dr. LAwicr was caueu m,

It is sunnoaed that the invasion was caused

in which tho rats make their homes, drove

A very dull man should not iudecd marrv a
very clever woman; nothing is more sad
than to see a wife pained by the stupidity
of her mate; but it is only in public that
she suffers, and because of tho lookers on;
lor her part, she would rather hear the
mouso squeak (in her own house,) than the
most gifted of skylarks carol abroad. All
dull men should therefore marry as soon as
possible, if it were but to secure an audience.
And trot only dull men. What evil ex
perience (and cynical and baso opinions do
rived from them) do those escape who marry
young. How often docs the dissolute or
world-worn man put off till it is too late that
yearning after a homo and rest and faithful
love, which ho calls "a determination to set

Tub ScurrEitNoso Grape. A writer in

nocg grape is the most remarkable iu the
known world, and possesses more good
qualities and less imperfections than all
others combined. The writer, who is Mr.
J. M. D. Miller, of Iuk;, Mississippi, adds :
"It is of southern origin, and is destined
to revolutionize grape growing and wine
makiucr in America. It viclds more than
any other vine, often producing annually
from twenty-five to fifty bushels of choice,
sweet, delicious, rich, lucious, fragrant
grapes, ef a large, round form. It is excel
lent lor table huit, lor desert, for preserv
ing, or for market, and will keep late. Thcro
arc three varieties, white, black, and yellow,
each yielding choice berries and magnificent
wine. ur. Jackson, tue well known chemist
of the East, says: Tho Scuppernong wine
can be made so fine as to excel all others on
this continent.' It needs no pruning, no
traiuing, it never mildews, never rots, and
uever laiis to yield a crop, it will grow any
where that corn or cotton will. One acre
of vines will pay better than ono hundred
in corn or cotton. Two or three vines pro
duce fruit enough for an ordinary family.
A single vino will make from ono to two
barrels of wine. It will grow and fruit for
a hundrod years. It is emphatically the
poor man's friend. Every man who owns a
rod of ground should own a Scuppernong
vino. It is the grants of all crapes."
