Widow Van Cott says she hopes some day to stand on the battlements of hell, and shake her glorified white garments at old Satan. We hope she will do no such thing. It wuuld make talk. Everybody knows the character of old Satan, and no woman could shake her “white garments,” glosifled or otherwise, at him, and get off without a scaudle,— lndianapolis Herald. It may be proper to explain the necessity of this half- sheet, bnt our cause is simply this: On yesterday (Saturdays evening, after the paper was distributed throughout the city, Mr. Fawcett, the editor of The News, was attacked on the street by Will : iam McNeil, the person alluded to in another article as “Bones,” or fool number two of The News’ class. The scuffle, in which McNeil received a black eye, ye editor escaping without a scratch, caused considerable excitement, causing a sale of every available copy of the paper and a large number of extras, We expect to be assessed a liberal amount of anticipated school fund for the privilege of ornamenting Mr. McNeil, but as it is a privilege with which the fraternity generally are not endowed, we shall whack up with great cheerfulness and an acknowledgement of obligation# to Mr. McNeil for the great amount of free advertising for which we are indebted to him.—D;lphi News.

The following is an extract from an old law still on the statute books of the District of Columbia: “That if any person shall hereafter within this proyince wittingly, and advisedly, by writing or speaking, blaspheme or curse God, or deny our Savior Jesus Christ to be the son of God, or shall deny the Holy Trinity, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, or tiie Godhead of any of the three persons, or unity of the Godhead, | or shall utter any profaue words concerning the Holy Trinity or any of the persons thereof, and shall be tli. :e----of convict by verdict or confess: -n, shall for the first offence, be bored through the tongue and fined £2O sterling, to the Lord Proprietor, to be applied to the use of the county wh-'re the offence shall be committed, to oe levied on the offender's body, goods and chatties, lands or tenements, and in case the said fine can not be levied the offender to suffer six months’ imprisonment without bail or mainprise; aid thatfer the second offence, the offender being thereof convict, as aforesaid, shall bo stigmatised by burning iu the forehead with the letter B, and fined £4O to the Lord Proprietor, to be applied and levied as aforesaid, a*nd in case the same can not be levied, the offender shall suffer twelve months’ imprisonment without bail or mainprise; and that for the third offence, the offender being convict as aforesaid, shall suffer death without the benefit of the clergy.”

“When that cultivated and middle‘aged person,” says The Hew York Tribune, “ Mrs, Mary Ann Moxon, of Cambridge Mass., had the collar of her offensive little poodle inscrided “I’m Mary Ann Moxon’s; whose dog are you?” she thought it was rather a clever joke on the casual citizen who might encounter the pup and investigate his reason for being.” When Mury Ann did this she was, consciously or unconsciously, plagiarizing Mr. Alexander Pope, poet of Twickenham. The prince of Wales of Pope’s time, like Mary Ann' of current history, had a dog for whose collar Pope wrote the couplet; “I’m his highness’ dog at Kew: Pray, sir, whose dog are you?” But the quadruped honored by a prince’s ownership and a poet’s lines never made affy history. It appears, if The Tribune is veracious, that Miss Moxon’s poodle did shine on the pages of Cambridge. Mass., history: "One ‘morning the poodle, howling as ‘though he was carrying all the parts ‘for Sirius in the chorus of the mora‘ing stars, and sudden, as if fired out ‘of a gun, shot into the Moxon presence ‘with his tail tucked very close, and ‘a business card tied onto his collar. ‘Divining, that some one lmd set the ‘poodle up in the carrier drove business, Miss Moxon seized the missive ‘and read: “Turpentine is what ails me; What’s the matter with you?” Now is tiie time to subscribe for the Sentinel.
