And it came to pass in those days, that
. the Greenites found themselves without a
' Parson, and they said one to another, let
‘. us call together, a Grand Conflaberation
, of the Greeuites, and invite Hatkite, of the
, tribe of Brookite, to become cur parson,
‘ in order that we may drink in wisdom and
_ be instructed in the way of life.
; . Audit came to pass that the Conflab-
, eration met and a majority decided to
call Hatkite ; yet there were many who
' resisted stontly—doclaring that they
: would not have this man to rule over them
_ and be their teacher.
And it came to pass that Hatkite did
come and take up his abode among the
Greenites. And he saidhere will I abide
and spend the remnant of my days in
peace and quietness.
And it came to pass that the Greeuites
began to be dissatisfied with Hatkite, and
theylsaid one to another, that Hatkite
wasnot a man of much function.
And- it came to pass that whenever the
Greenites went. up to worship, many of
them fell asleep. And Zeb said unto his
brothers of the tribe of Greenite :—
‘ “ Why do ye feed upon barren stubble ;
why do ye strive so hard in the Church
to keep yourselves awake ; verily, I say
unto you, that there must be a bottle of
laudnum in the person of Hatkite, which
when he uncorketh the same, we are over-
come with - drowsiness. Wherefore, let
us turn out Hatkite, and get a Preacher.”
And it came to pass that when Hat-
kite heard that many of the Greeuites
Were dissatisfied with him, he said :—
" The fault is not mine but yours ; I
preach the Gospel, and if you are not ben-
efited, it is all your fault.” And he also
said he hadthe most profound contempt for
every Greenite who did not like him as
a preacher.
And it came to pass that Hatkite in-
formed the Gre‘enitc that he should con-
' tinue to be their Parson, and to put them
to sleep, yet .did the Greenites murmur
greatly. HsstIAH Nmaon,‘Eso.

That is a. most righteous and timely

the determined resistance, of its able and
- faithful chairman of Ways and Means,
Mr. F. A. Conkling, voted extra compen-

moral and we think no legal right to do
—but of course, according to precedent.

refused to finger the money, but we are

Norwalk, Tuesday,
Slavery in the Territories.
We remember well that only a 'few years
ago, the Democratic newspapers claimed that
“popular sovereignty” meant the power of
the people of a Territory to exclude or admit
slavery at their pleasure. Now, all this is
changed. The organ of the President at
Washington denies the existence of any such
power. The Bridgeport Farmer, of last
week, follows suit. It affirms the doctrine
that slavery cannot be excluded from the
Territories in any war]. It says that IF the
system of bondage be an evil they must sub-
mit to it. fthey try to get rid of it. the
Farmer afiirms the power and duty of the U.
S. Courts to set aside any territorial legisla-
tion adopted for that end.
Such is the termination of this gigantic
swindle, miscalled “POPULAR Sovmiutox'rv.”
How much longer will honest Dcmoc ats b&

Tun Lasr Coxrmuxcs Gama—Tun SUICIDE
Donna—Suicides are becoming so fashionable
and exciting so much sympathy, that the con-
fidence'men are turning them to account. On
Monday last a well-dressed man stopped at
the Phillips House at Dayton and rrgistered
his name in a handsome hand, as A. V. Lam
artiuc. He represented himself as combining
the aristocratic pretensions of two countries
——in other words, that be was a relation ofthe
French' poet and belonged to the F. F. V.’s.
Shortly after retiring to his room,he sent the
following note to the landlord :
PHILIPS House, Room No. 43.
.To the Clerk—Dear Sir ;—I am very unwell
and do not expect to recover. Will you be
so kind and send for a minister to come to my
room. I care not of which denomination so
be is a true Christian and a pious mun.
Yours Respectfully.
A. V. LAMAR’I‘INE.
A clegymun and doctor were immediately
sent for and when they entered the room found
on the table an empty vial, labeled? 07.. land.
anum,an1 a note, which is fully up to the
general standard of suicide literature. The
unhappy young man was nursed, condoled
with, and prayed over till he recovered and
repented and then the sympathizing friends
who had been instrumental in rcstuing him
from self-destruction kindly contributed $25
to pay his expenses to St. Louis, and be left
on the Indianapolis train, with al‘res passjust
before the arrvial of the conductor of the Sum
du'sky train, who informcn his friends that he
had only a few days before almost committed
suicide at that place, under almost preci5ely
the same circumstances, and that forty dollars
had been raised for him by sympathizing
friends there. The poor fellow is probably
now lying at the point of" death at Indianapo-
lis, St. Louis, or some other place west.

The news from the seat of War in Italy. is
to the 2nd inst. Up to that time, no battle
had taken place, though there is a rumor of
an unimportant engagement at the bridge
head of Buffaloes, which the Austrians are
said to have carried by the bayonet, Their
movements are certainly more dilatory than
was to have been expected. It seems that
th cy did not enter Sardinia until the 29th ult.,
although the reply of the Piedmontesc gov-
ernment to their ultimatum was received by
Count Gyulai on the evening of the 2601.—
Here was a loss oftwo days, and for what rea-
son does not upper. The delay in the attack
upon the Piedmoatese forces is attributed to
the fact that the roads on the Austrian line
of m. ch have been broken up and the bridg
esdc- yed; but the first considerable hos-
tililics must have taken place before the 7th
inst.

there is no little of truth in the report. All
that has been done says Mr. Disraeli, is that
Russia has agreed, in case of war, to place an

Dr. Lord's Lecture
On Saturday night was a discriminating,
and, as we think, just analysis of the charac-
ter of Bacon and of the Baconian Philosophy.
At the same time it was a beautiful vindica-
tion ofxihe value of adjective and intellec-
tual, or rather spiritual wealth, as compared
with lh ll. which is only objective and material;
showing conclusively flint tbcre are better
things thfin bread and buffer, or cveu than
roast beef and plum pudding.
We are sure that those who have attended
this admirable, Course of Lectures Were all
chagrincd by Dr. Lord’s announcement that.
the tale of tickets has not dt-lrayctl hiscxpcu-
scs, not even the rent. of the Bull, while
crowds of inlellige.uditors in Boston, New
York, and Brooklyn, attest the excellence of
these intellectual ‘ntciiaiumcnls, our fellow
citizens seem too much absorbed in their
business, or llu-ir domestic enjoymcnls, to
permit them to attend ; while most of those
