The Impeachment Move no Joke
The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial writes:
The impeachment of the Presi-
dent, long whispered at, is now open-
1y advocated, and the echo is caught
up by such newspapers as the Chica-
go Tribune, in demauds for the im-
mediate arraignment of Andrew
Johnson for a series of high crimae
and misdemeanors, which they find
it very easy to enumerate. In a
former letter I stated that the Presi-
dent had been informed* on authority
that he could not question, that it
was the intention of the majority in
Congress to attempt bis impeachment
as soon as they should have secured
the necessary vote in the Senate to
carry out this scheme. The Presi-
dent listened to what was said on the
subjest, and replied that he had
every reason to believe it was true.
# • • • •
The country may as well under
stand now, as be compelled to learn
it when too late, that the impeach
raent of the President means the in-
auguration of a civil war, which must
be fought out, not in the distant
South and along the Mississippi river,
but in every city and village of the
North, commencing in the City of
Washington.
Favorites.—Says a sensible writer,
"I have ever found that men who are
really most fond of the society of
ladies, who cherish for them a high
respect, nay, reverence them, are
seldom most popular with the sex.—
Men of more assurance, whose tongues
are lightly hung, who make words
supply the place of ideas, and place
compliment ir the room of sentiment,
are the favorites. A true respect for
woman leads to respectful action to-
wards them; and respect is usually
a distant action, and this great dis-
tance is taken by them for negleci
and want of interest."

A True Wife.—A. sensible af-
fectionate, refined, practical woman
makes a man's nature all'the strong-
er by making it more tenáer—puts
new heart into all bis strivings—ant
gives dignity to his prosperity, ant
comfort for nis adversity. Every true
life wields a still greater power when
it feels a living heart drawing it with
irresistible force into every position
of duty.
A young lady, eighteen years
age and "charmingly attractive," pro
poses through The Pittsburgh Des
patch to swim in public, for a reason
able consideration. She says that
no doubf, people will think it a wile
idea, but that she understands her
business. The boys are making her
up a purse.
A young lady having ««set her cap"
for a rather large specimen of the
opposite sex, and having failed to win
him, was telling her sorrows to a
couple of her confidants, when one
of them comforted her with these
word*: "Never mind, Mollie, there
is as good fish in the sea as ever was
caught." "Mollie knows that," re
plied her little brother, "but she
wants a whale."
We have seen some awful typo
grahical errors in our day but seldom
any more ludicrous than the follow-
ing. The editor wanting a line to fill
column gave—"Shoot Folly as she
flies."—Pope. In the hurry of set-
ting it up the typo rendered it thus :
"Shoot Polly as she flies.—Pop."
There is wisdom as well as wit in
the following remarks of Josh Bill-
ings:
"I always advise short sermons,
especially on a hot Sunday. If a
minister can't strike ile in boring
forty minutes, he has either got a
poor gimlet, or else he is boring in
the wrong place."
'Twasan unhappy division that
was made between faith and works.
Though in my intellect I may divide
them just as in the candle I know
there is both light and heat; but yet
put out the candle and they are both
gone, one remains not without the
other; so His betwixt faith and works.
—Selden.
An Irishman, who had blistered
his fingers bv endeavoring to draw
on a pair of boots, exclaimed:
I believe I shall never get them on
mjtil I have worn them a day or two.
