THE NEW TARIFF ON DRY GOODS.

Unhappy condition of the Optic Nerve of a Custom House Appraiser who has been counting the Threads in a Square Yard of Fabric to ascertain the duty thereon under the New MORRILL Tariff. The Spots and Webs are well-known Opthalmic Symptoms. It is confidently expected that the unfortunate man will go blind.

THE LATEST MARTYR.

Horrible Phantasms disturb the Slumbers of the newly-appointed Custom-House Entry-Clerk, who has come into Office with the New MORRILL Tariff, and spent a Morning in the vain endeavor to make something out of it.

CONSULTING THE ORACLE.

PRESIDENT LINCOLN. " And, what next ?"

COLUMBIA. "First be sure you're right, then go ahead!"
