JUDGE EVOLUTION OF THE MURPHY. — GENATOR GORMAN was once a page in the senate, Now he is a melancholy in- terruption in the history of our David. eee FEW PAPERS imagine more news than the Washington Post, and some of it reads as if it might be founded on fact. see OVERNORS of other states will bear in mind ‘that, with Hill as senator and Jones as lieutenant-governor, New York has no governor either de facto or de jure. cee A BILL in our legislature to compel men to vote is shortly to be followed by one obliging the citizen to get up at two o'clock in the morning and eat a hard-boiled egg. X-EMPRESS FREDERICK made haste out of France in view of the growing ill-feeling against her. Apparently she fright- ened France almost as much as if she had been a prince of the house of Orleans. see ‘HE GRAMMAR of Governor Bulkeley 3 x of Connecticut is severely criticised ; but A COINCIDENCE. ‘one should not be expected to swear with NTIN "Why so broke up, old man?" grammatical and rhetorical fluency when his feelings have been hurt and his corns Bentin “That's nothing.
