HE MAN who dies by touching an electric wire has added to the poignancy of his surprise the knowl- edge that his taking off is totally un- constitutional. 5 4 4 LAW in Boston obliges a man to sit down when he drinks and to take meat with his beverage. Pres- ently it will be necessary for him to sing a song and read a book. MISFORTUNES come not singly, but in battalions. We observe that the editor of the Utica Observer is at this moment threatened with an opposition paper and a nomination to congress. g WE. ARE obliged to say that if Senator Ingalls is guilty of pla- giarism there is something in theft of that kind which cannot be properly condemned without hooking an an- athema from the old masters. MB. HALSTEAD says the white people of the south needn't be mad at him, because he has even gone so far in the direction of conciliation as to advocate the repeal of the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution, Surely that is a good deal; but wasn’t it rather selfish in the ex-Ohio brother to reserve his scalp?

Is it reasonable to say that ideas that employ hundreds of thousands of printers, paper-makers, binders, book-sellers, and news- agents are entitled to nothing in comparison with the idea that leads to a printing-press or a rat-trap? hey may be a bit loud, but Ih: Ran a faro lay 3, " ae 6) Perleece!
