Show .4. .'AKIKT-Ii.-lCi SE.ATOK. We supposed our feelings had become be-come callous, and that we could not be gurprised by any developments ot degradation inthc election of scalawag carpet-bag Representatives from the Southern States, until we learned that Pease, who used to teach Bchool in Parsippany, had been elected United States Senatar from Mississippi ! If hia entre-o into the Senate was as auspiciously attended as was his exit from Parsippany directly after the school house burned, the Senate may not feel luonored by his membership. member-ship. We remember a goal story told of him while at Whippauy. He had. as was his wont, contracted a bill at one of the village stores, and failing to respond when payday arrived, Pease's creditor put the matter in the hands of an otficer. Still Pease would not "shell out." The officer, knowing his man's weak point, then waited until he retired for the night, and while wrapped in the arms of Morpheus Mor-pheus and fully under the influence of the drowsy god, the unfeeling bailiftjwalked in and levied on the Senator's (?) clothes as they hung on the bed post, also laying violent hand on his empty trunk. It was frosty weather, but the following morning Pease appeared in very light clothing. Morristown, N. J., Banner. |
