The Show is Out.

[lndianapolis Sun.] Although the Legislature will not adjourn until Monday, the time for passing bills expired last night at twelve o'clock. We have deferred until next week giveing a summary df the work of the session, but enough is known to justify us in laying that the picsent Legislature has not dune its duty, in scarcely any particular. The House being Democratic squandered its time in endeavoring to make political capital whereby the Democratic party p/jgfct be benefitted in 1876.

The compulsory education bill failed in the Indiana legislature. The Democratic State Treasurer of Democratic Georgia has had his accounts examined by a legislative committee, and they are found to be short, sixty-eight thousand dollars. He gives various reasons for this condition of affairs, and a Democratic Legislature mildly requests this Democratic Treasurer to resign.— The Democratic papers are condoling with this unfortunate Treasurer and assure their various readers that there is no dishonesty in the matter. If Mr. State Treasurer of Georgia had been a Republican, what a howl would have been raised about Radical thievery and corruption ! how soon he would have been expelled from the position, and prosecuted in the courts of law! There is a large drinking saloon in Fulton street, Brooklyn, kept by a Mr. Slane. Behind the bar is hung a large placard, “No discussion about the Beech-er-Tilton trial is allowed in this establishment.” Two strangers not long since began arguing the merits of the case.— One was a pronounced advocate of Beecher, the other a firm believer in Tilton. — The discussion grew warm and finally the Beecher man catching up a large ice-pitcher standing on the bar, threw it at the head of his opponent, and the missile, flying wide of its mark, demolished a pier-glass worth over $100.

This law will have little effect on the customs, and prejudices of society and will not injure the high and exalted position of white Democrats any more than the enfranchisement of the colored people did.— Like the Maine liquor law, the Civil Rights bill is graded ahead of the social state of the people, and will lack support of the people which is essential to efficient enforcement. Wonder if the present cold weather is not caused by the passage of the Civil Rights bill. — North Missourian. W 8 > IW— Of all the joys vouchsafed to man in life’s tempestuous whirl, there’s naught approaches heaven so near as sleighing with a girl—a rosy, laughing, buxum, girl, a frank, good natured, honest girl, a feeling, flirting, dashing, doting, smiling, smacking, jolly,joking, jaunting, jovial, poser-looking, dear little duck of a girl. Pile up your wealth mountain high, you sneering, scoffing churl ! I’ll laugh as I go by with my jingpng bells and girl—the brightest, dearest, sweetest girl, the trimest, gayest, neatest girl, the funniest, frankest, fairest, roundest, ripest, roughest. rarest, spunkiest, spiciest, squirmiest, squarest,bcst of girls, with drooping lashes —half-concealing, love-provoking amorous lashes —just the girl for a chap like me to court, and love and inarry, you see, with rosy cheeks, clustering curls, the sweetest and best of girls.— West Chester Nelcs.
