THE “AGUE.” il A SEASONABLE PORM. fi sy : Qoce upon an evening bleary, - While fnt me dreaming dreary, - In the sunshine, thinking o’er Things that passed in g‘ays of yore ; While guodded. nearly sleeping, Gently came in something creeping, - Creeping upward from the floor, - Tis'a cooling breeze,” I muttered, From. the regions ’neath the floor; “Only this and pothing more.” . .

_Ab! distinctly I remember, ;1t was in that wet September, © When the earth and every member Of creation that it bore, = Had for wi eks and months been soaking In the meanest, most provoking = = Fo‘;gvgv rain that, without joking, @ bad ever seen before, So I'know it must be very Cold and damp beneath the floor— Very cold beneath the floor. So I sat me, nearly naping, o | In the sunshine, stretcb,,ing,dgnping, And a feeling quite delighted With a breeze from "neath the floor - Till I felt me growing colder, And the stretching waxiu'{z bolder, And myself now feeling older. . Older thap 1 felt before, Feeling that my joints were stiffer Than they were in days of yore— Stiffer than thex’d been before. " . ’ it R All along my Sack the creeping, Soon'gave place to rushing, leaping, As if countless frozen demons . ! Y Had concluded to explore : All the cavities—the varmints— ; "Twixt me and my nether garments, - Through my boots into the floor; & * Then I found myself a shaking— - ‘Gently shaking more and more— Every moment more and more.

"Twas the Ague, and it shook me : Into heavy clothes, and took me. " 5 ‘Shaking to the kitchen—every b Place where there was warmth in store, Shaking till the Chira rattled, = . Shaking-till my morals rattled; | Shaking and with all my warming, Feeling colder than befure ; . Shaking till it bad exhausted . All its powers to shake me more— Till it could shake me more.

+ Thep it rested till the morrow, When it came with all the horror TLat it had the face to borrow, ; ngking, shaking as befoge, - .And from that day in September—- ‘. Day which I shall remember—‘lt has made diurnal yisits, . - : Shaking, shaking, oh{ so sore ! « . Sbaking off my boots, and shaking Me to bed if %’a_thing: more, - Fully this, if dotliing more. : .

THE ROBBER’S LAMP.

‘Got to golover ‘'on foot !’ exclaimed the contractor. g :

i ‘Not a chance of anything else,’ replied the agent. ‘But then it's only five miles, and you'll have better quarters than here, in this vile shanty.— The money will be safer, too—let alone that the men won’t go to work again, unless they are paid this morning.’ - ‘I the road safe ? I don’t like the idea of lugging so’ much money. ‘I could defend myself, or run; but $1,500 in emall bills.is a big package to run with.’ - J o

‘Send your valise over in advance.’ ‘Who by 7’ ‘My man.” H '

‘ls he trustworthy 7" ‘Honest as the day ; and he needn’t know there is anything in it but dirty linen. He can start now; and you can ‘wait till after supper, if you will: And, so saying, the agent of the railroad company stepped to the door of the shanty and shouted for Patrick; and, shortly, that individual came—as bright, lively, honest-looking a son of the Green Isle as ever helped build a western railroad. ] : . ‘Patrick !" e ' ‘Yes, yer honor.” - : L

‘T'ake this gentleman’s valise over to the village and leave it with the suerintendent. Tell him the owner will ge over after it this evening.” ‘An’ is that all, yer honor ! “T'bat’s all—only bé quick about it, you’'ll earn an extra dollar. e : d’m just the boy for that, onyhow. Sure it’s a small bit of a valige.”

And go saying Patrick picked up the object of his contempt, and tugged away with an utter absence of curiosity as to'the nature of what he was carrying. ; L

The temporary station at which the construction train had landed the contractor—agentleman named Perkins—was at the end of the AirdLine railroad to ——; apd, as the laborers thereon had not been paid over promptly, they had now for some days been on a strike, abandoning the works and congregating idly ata hamlet, a few miles distant, thereby compelling their delinquent employers to come to terms. Mr. Perkins had brought a good share of the ‘terms’ with him, for immediate distribution ; and after a plain but hearty supper with the agent, he was about to start on his tramp when it was discovered that a good sized western thunder storm was about to burst, and the walk was postponed until the sky should clear. : In a few minutes more the rain was coming down in torrents, and kept it up for an hour or 80, at the end of which time the contractor paddled away over the muddy road, _congratulating himself that the valise in Patrick’s cdare was waterproof. ‘ ‘He’s had a rougher time than I will, anyhow ; and now, if I ain’t robbed and murdered before I get there, I shall do well erough, in spite of the mud.” And so, muttering to himself, the worthy gentleman splashed . forward. e

Our present business, however, is not with his employer, but with Patrick himself, - -

‘The parting instruction to make haste had not seemed to make a very deep impression on the careless son of Erin; and he trudged easily along, ard with an occasional shrewd glance at the somewhat threatening sky, growling to himself. _ ‘Faith, an’ I'll be there béfore he will, an’if it don’t rain, an’ mebbe I will if it does. 'Och. but it's a wake one to be given a dollar for the carryin’ the like o’ this. | .

shadows. , Nor had he gone far before, as the gloom rapidly deepened, the Sremonito? flashes of liiftning' and eep, smothered roars of thunder gave token that the storm was upon him. ‘Now, an’ cud I ewnly git to the owld log house, it 'ud kape me dhry. Hhow’ly Moses, what a big flash was that 2 S J &3 -

" And, so saying, Patrick broke into a very respectable trot, which quickly brought him into a weed-grown clearing. In the centre of this there was a small log house, the deserted homestead of some discontented squafter who had moved farther westward, It consisted of but two rooms, front 'and back, and all vestiges of doors and windows, had long since disappeared ; but it premised, some sort of imperfect. shelter from the rain. it

Patrick was just in time; hardly had he stumbled over the greasy doorway before.the first big drops began to patter, and these were quickly followed by such penetrating terrents as compelled him to select his standing plaée urnder as good a corner of the leaky roof as he could find. Bless me sowl, but this is a wet rain, onyhow ! I'd not like to be found drowned wid another mon’s purtmanty about ime. ‘Whist now, Patrick, me jewel, what's that 7’ Bt 2

And, as he ‘spoke, Patrick once more advanced towards the do?;way. It was now all but piich dark, and he could hear the muffled voices of men, whoge profane utterances seeméd. to try to direct one another toward the ghelter. v i

‘Here it is, Bob. 1 wonder if there is anybody init.” - - 7 - Not to-night, there won’t be. = Go in; we're comin.’’

Patrick was no fool,.and he had beard something in the tone, rather than in the words—though these were mingled with horrid profanity—which ~conveyed to his mind the impression that the new comers were men with whom he did not care to scrape an ac-quaintance-—neither did he like to go out into the storm—and_so he quietly glided back Into the little lesn to’ that formed the other part of the house, and curled himself up against the logs. - - In a moment more he perceived that three men had take possession of his ‘late quarters, and he lay as still as a ~mouse, while they continued a discus~sion which had-evidently been inter‘rupted by the storm. & '

‘He won’t'try to get. over to-night I reckon.’ i

‘Yes he will ; he’s got. to.’ “But ‘the storm 7’ ' i ‘He’ll wait till that’s over.’ ' ‘May’be he’s started,” ‘lf he has, he’ll turn back. Were safe enough to bag him, an’ it’s a little the best lay we ever had.” = - ‘Pretty good pot, that’s a fact. ‘Do you know how.heé’s got it 7’ . ‘ln a valice, Jim says ?’ . - ‘Well, we can take it as well in that as in anything elee, as the man said about his whisky.’ CH R ‘

‘But ywhat’ll we do with him ¢ ‘Dead men tell no tales.”” *'

‘That’s the safest, I guess; and they’ll lay it to some of the strikers:’ - ‘Most likely. Have you got the dark lantern ready ?’ . ‘Not much oil in it ) i

‘Let’s. fill it then. I went to get gome, and got - into the boss’s private office, and I just found one little can hid away in his. desk. Not another thing worth bringing away. Here it is; let’s fill up, and take a look around.’ 5 : i ,

‘Thus far Patrick had looked with breathless interest, while his mind teem with horrid vigions of robbery and murder. - As we have said, he ‘was by no means lacking in sharpness and the reference to the valise had not been by any means reassuring. ° ‘Holy mother! how did they iver know I was coming over with the port--manty., I'd like to know that. Begorrah, I'd better turned back, before liver come! An’ what’s a~dollar to pay. for bein’ murdered.’ . h i Patrick’s thoughts were troubling the very soul within him, when he heard what was said about the lantern and it needed no one to 'tell him that his only safety from discovery was in, retreat. There was some little noize and loud talking in the other room, not to speak of the rain on the roof, and Patrick had no difficulty'in’ escaping unheard. Once clear of the house he made a clean run of it for a couple of hundred yards, stumbling over logs, tearing through briers, but sticking faithfully to _the valize. Meantime the three robbers had probably been filling the lamp of their dark lantern; and just as Patrick reached the edge of the woods, in the cover of whose darkness he knew he would be safe, he turned and strained hisveyes in the direction of the log house. As he did so, a faint glimmer of light came throuh the chinks and’ crannies, g pn b an “Strikin’ a match,”, muttered Patrick. Bad luck te that same for sending me out into the wet ! Howly mother ! what’s that.’ Jot e e

While Patrick had Leen- speaking, the light had gained somewhat in strength, as if the match wes blazing higher ; but as he ‘uttered his concluding exclamation, there came a sudden blinding flash, equal to' many lightnings. and then a dull and stanning sound, as of some mighty explosion, followed by the crashing sounds of heavy bodies falling among the .tops near him, breaking their way through the branched. bt Patrick waited no more, but found the road as quickly as possible, and made double quick time f?)r the village regardless of fhe rain. When, less than half 'an hour afterward, the breathless Irishman with his precious burden, dripping with water, entered the door of the Superintendent’s office in the village, he heard that gentle: man remark : =y

‘What did you say, Jordan 7’ ‘Why,” replied the boss, with an anxious tone; some fool has broken my desk open and stole a can of nitroglycerine, and I'm afraid mischief will come of it.’ N i o il ‘Divil a fear, interrapted Patrick ; ‘sorra mischief was done by that same. Only we’ll have to gearch the woods

~wid dogs to find enough of ’em for a ‘dacent wake, or I'm mistaken.’ - i The explanation which followed left little room for doubt; and a sub‘sequent investigation left less ; but as Patrick had surmised, there was very little ocecasion for a ‘wake.’ .

Take it Out in Trade.

A lathy-looking individual entered a down East restaurant, and ordered a double stew of oysters. The man who kept the restaurant was a small, redheaded individual, evidently high tempered. He prepared the stew in quick time, and the'lathy fellow sat down to his repast, and ate with enviable relish; after which he selected-a firstclass cigar, regaled himself with a glass of foaming ale, sitting with his feet el evated upon the top of the stove. He was very deliberate and self-possessed. ‘Atter the cigar had almost disappear. ed in smoke, he called for his bill.

‘Sixty-five cents,” says the proprie. tor, : ’ ‘How is this 7’ asked the lath. ‘Fifty cents for the double stew, and fifieen cents for the cigar.’ 2 “You forgot the®ale, remarked the lathy fellow looking quité serious. ‘Ab. yes, that is ten cents more—-geventy-five cents.’ ,

The red-headed man made no reply, and the'fellow kept his seat. 3 ‘I tell you I am ready to pay my il e ‘

‘Well, pay it then,’ said the proprietor. . s . :

‘I ain’t got any money.’ ‘Hain't got any money !’ repeated the man of refreshments. o ‘Not a darned cent.” " The- red-headed man opened his eyes. s v : ss

. “Well, I'll tell you—I"ll stand about seventy-five cents worth of your jaw—go go ahead.” - - . i

The red-headed man was the maddest individual ever seen. He seized the nut cracker and let it fly at the offender with a will, but it only hit the chair and broke its own handle., - ~ The lathy fellow had gone.

: A Leap for Life., There is at present in this city a gentleman who jumped from a third story window of the burning hotel at Kenosha, Wisconsin, a short time ago. Before he jumped he heard the shrieking of the women and children who were lost. The flames had already begun to come up through the floor. . When he looked out he saw the dead bodies of two men who had already jumped down. Opposite his window was a large heap of snow. He threw down his overcoat, which spread itself on the top of it. He then jumped, and alighted in the middle of the eoat, escaping entirely uninjured.—F*¢. Wayne Gazelle., - G e

Found Out.

_ Apropos: to the strictly confidential letters about counterfeit currency, a good many are received now-a-days.— The Buffalo Express relates the tollowIng incident: One day a man, who shall be nameless, entered Police Superintendent Doyle’s private office and asked to see Mi. Doyle. - The courteous chief motioned him to a chair and asked him to state his case, for the visitor seemed in a grealy perturbed state of mind. i

‘Mr. Doyle,” he began, ‘l've been swindled, and I want you to help me punish the scoundrels.” . = - - ‘Explain,” sententiously remarked the Superintendent. ‘See here, (produfgiug a letter similar to the above). I got one of these things a couple of weeks ago and.l sent' down twenty dollars.’ i ' ‘Well, what did you get in return ¥’ asked Mr. Doyle. R ‘A paper box of saw dust,” exclaimed the visitor, ‘and that's what I want to see you about. ' I want you to—!. ‘Stop a bit,” interrupted Mr. {)oyle; ‘what did you expect to receive for your twenty dollars 7’ , S

- ‘And what did you propose doing with that stuff 7' asked the Superin. tendent, each second his glance becoming more piercing and the color of the man’s face deeper in proportion. ‘I, I, you know—"’ . , ‘Yes, I know. I guess you had better go.’ 1 ' The man went. ‘

Bird—-Sarnighausen.

The New Albany Ledger of Feb. 20th; very truthfully remarks that the attempt ‘of the Indianapolis papers to ignore the shameless outrage of driving Senator Sarnig'hausen from his seat in the Senate, does not suit the people.” We copy in another column, continues that paper, an article from the Vincennes Sun, which but echoes the comments that we have received in our exchanges from different parts ot the State. It is time that there was some investigation of this matter. If there has been raseality and corruption, let it be uneartbed. For ourselves, we do not propose to be silent when injustice ‘is dene.. We were among the first to condemn this outrage, and have continued to ask for further light on this subject. We have asked the Journal and Sentinel of Indianapolis if they knew of any bargaining or cofruption going on by which this infamy was accomplished, but they are silent.— ‘They will not tell us if they bave heard of any writlen contract by which Burson und Bird were to be placed in the Senate instead of the men who have a legal - right there.” Why does the Journal hesitate to open its mouth and speak ? Will it compromise Radicals as well as the four Democrats? Why does not the Sentinel explain how it is that the very man whom it has put forward as a leader of the party in the Senate shall be found voting with' the Radicals on so important a case as the one! under consideration ? Will not some Democrat, in his place in the Se_bate, unearth this whole matter and let the people know what the concract was, who signed it, and what was the consideration® Will not some Radical, feeling outraged that 'the whole ¢ontract was not carried out, tell bow his party trusted to'a written pledge, thinkiog that was binding on the party subscribing? =We care not who brings it. to light.. All we want to know is, who are the guilty parties, that they may have the brand of infamy placed upon them - ‘ The time has come when the good of the country demands more purQity in our puplic men. It has been demoralized long enough by corruption and double dealing. We wish no more of it. The men that we. help elect to office in the future miet be good men; If the Democracy, returning, again to power, cannot bring with-is, and maintain & purer record than Radicalism, then it will be of little difference to the country whether it return to power or not. Let all good men join to condemn all that is vjrong and base in public m'fsn, no matter to -what party they belong, and the shamefulness of such proceedings, mutterings of, which may be healr:d from the Capital daily, will no more disgrace our State legislation, ; ;

The Meost Damnablé Crime Yet!

Your Homé Paper,

“Support your home paper. ' Be you Democrat or Republican, support your home paper. 7lf you want to'know what is occurring in your own county: and town, every week, and al\i‘nost every day, support your Pomé 'papér. Do you wish to pleasé” yout family, especially” your wife, whose household dutics keep her so tclosely"“at ‘home that she cannot go to ‘town almost every day, as you do, and hear the- news, thén support-your home paper.. Do you wish to be a public spirited man, then by all means, do all in your power to aid your paper or papers, 1f there be more than one. :

What shall I do to support the paper says one? Subscribé for it, pay for it when' you hand in your name. It costs you but a trifie—less than four cents a week, which is certainly not unreasonable. The plea that you can't afford to take your own county paper is all gammon.— How many persons who put in the above ‘plea when ‘asked‘to take their home: papers, who spend three times that amount every day for cigars, tobacco, &c. Curtail your. tobacco bill—if it - be. fifteen cents per week —one-fifth, and you will have money enough to take.your home papers, Take the paper yourself, and-induce your neighbor to do the same ; this you can do, which will greatly aid the publisher.— [There are various ways.of helping to support home papers. L o When you get into the spiritof writing — if you can write short, spicy, pungent, or pointed articles—do it and send them to the printer. They help make up the paper. S o

Don't be afraid of any-little errors you may make; we will arrange the matter in a concise manner and lay it before our readers. The information only is wanted, and by giving it you aid in supporting your home paper. A few such contributions from the’ various townships in our county each week would add materially in making your home paper what it should be—a LIVE paper. .If the printer should bappen to differ with you sometimes and’ throw out your articles, don’t get mad and “‘stop the paper.” Try again—‘“seven and seventy times” before you.give it up or get mad. ; b . -————‘.M . Death. . .

How is it that, having once looked on Death, we can for a moment . forget it 9— How can we go back to our hopes and dreams and labors, when we have understood that they must all end here, that the most loving eyes must be closed thus, the busiest hands so crossed upoun the breast—the greatest mind become a blank, and buman beauty turn in a few brief hours to a thing of horror? Wby does not this phantom Death stand beside the altar, and say to the bridé and . bridegroom,— “ Why love, whien there must come a bitter parting for one of you ‘ere long?— Why wed, when the very wedding hour hurries you nearer. to the grave as it pass-' es oy #” i e

How can the mother forget it when her baby lies upon her breast, and not say to herself. “I have only brought into this world another thing to die?” Why do we' not' see the .ghastly skeleton at our feasts; see him in our streets; hear him in songs; and be so bittterly oppressed by his inevitable coming as'to lose all hope, and sit in dust and ashes, bewailing: the bitter fate of man, who, do what hLe may, can only live to die? -.~ , ‘Greatest of all mysterics is it; that we can go about forgetting, or seeming o forget, this thing.

THE FEE AND SALARY BILL.

~ The following is a synopsis of the Fee and Salary Bill passed by both Houses of the Indiana Legislature and signed by the Governor&d £l ahien

The bill providesa list of fees that may be taxed and collected by the Clerk of the- Supreme Court, Secretary of State, County Recorders, Prosecuting Attorneys, Constables, Justices of the Peace, Coroners, Surveyors, Sheriffs, Auditors, Treasurers, Clerks, &c., somewhat after the style and manner of the old fee bill, there not being any increase or dimunition in these respects of prime importance. Among the more noticeable I ébserve that the fees of Jjurors are raised to $2.50 instead of $1.25 per diem, and the fees of witnesses to $1.50 per diem. Clerks are allowed $2 for issuing a marriage license instead of §l, which some Clerks used to construe up as high as $2.50, and $1 for an execution, to include all and every service rendered in relation thereto, The docket fees of Prosecuting Attorneys are also increased in pleas of guilty or not guilty, & distinction being made between misdemeanors and’ felonies. But these changes are of com* paratively minor iniportance and do not effect the main principle of the bill. Section 20 provides that each Clerk and Sheriff, on the first Mondays of December, March; June, and October, shall pay overto the county ﬁeasm‘f'all moneys received by thiem for fees or charges for official services of every description, taking the Treasurer's receipt therefor, and a registry of these receipts 18 kept open to public inspection.. A separate,-and aistinct account is to kept-of these ‘amounts, and they are to constitute and be known as the County Officers’ Fund, and if any surplus remains of it, after paying the salaries that are hercafter provided, it is to ‘be merged into the general county revenuc. The same officers are required at the end of every quarter to pay over to the treasury all fines; forfeitures, unclaimed witness fees, docket fees, jury fees, &c., that go to the credit of the Common School Fund. E , )

| Sec. 21 provides that all costs that are taxed under the provisions of the act shall be and remain a lien oa the real estate of ‘the party liable until paid. = U . Sec. 22 provides punishment by fine, imprisonment and forfeiture of office for taxing constructive fees or any that are i_;not plainly and definitely allowed by the act to be faxed, - - Cn Scc. 23 requires the Treasurer to make a report every quarter, showing the am't in hishands ut the close of the preceding ~month belonging to each separate fund, and any overdraws that may have been made ; and that he furnish to the county papers copies of his report for publicat tion, and they are allowed SR2 for inserting it. - T Sec. 24 provides that the Clerk and Sheriff shall each receive for all the services that they' are required by law to perform an annual compensation of $l5OO.

Sec. 25 allows to the Clerk and Sheriff an additional sum of $lOO for every 1,000 inhabitants over 10,000, and 20 per cent. on the amount of their own fees, which have been taxed, collected and paid over to the Treasurer in accordance with the requirements of the act. . 22 ‘Sec. 26 requires the Clerk to issue executions and fee bills after the expiration of six months from the time that they are taxed and due for the collection of all costs then remainiog unpaid. Sec. 27 requires the Clerk and Sheriff to make a quarterly report under oath, (as all reportsrequired are to be made) show: ing the amounts respectively -charged by each, the amounts collected; the names of the parties liable, and the balance duc from each party. - -+ . , Sec. 8 allows, the Auditor §1,500 per annum, and an additional §lOO per annum for every 1,000 inhabitants in excess of 10,000, (these allowances to all the officers being for deputy hire) and also the fecs and commissions allowed him-for his services in managing the School Fund' of the county. The School Fund is to be dis tributed to the several counties. -

By Section 29 the Treasurer is allowed $1,500 per annum, and the sum:of $75 for every 1,000 over 10,000 of population, and also his fezs for the collection of delinquent taxes. : R Sec. 30 makes it the duty of the Board of County Commissioners, at every regular session, to make an allowance to the Clerk and Sheriff of one:fourth of their annual salary out of the officer’s fund, but if the amount -collected and paid over to the Treasurer by these,officers does not reach in .t_‘-ba aggregate%?a sum at the rate of 81,000 per annum; the Board are author ized to make up the deficit, not going be: yond that poi&lt. 2 & : . Sec. 81 provides for a quarterly report by the County Treasurer to the County Board allowing in detail the condition of such funds in his hands. |~ i

: 8ec..32 fixes the basis by which the population of each county is-to be determined, as by the last preceding census; taken under the authority of the Government of the United States. :

Sec.. 85 makes it the duty of the Supreme Judges of the State, within thirty days after the passage of the act to prescribe rules and define, as near as may be, the fees that may be taxed under the provisions of the act, by the Clerks and Sheriffs, without taxing constructive fees. Sec. 38 provides for the successor of any county officer collecting fees remaining unpaid at the expiration of the term ot his.predecessor. Sec. 38 provides that'if any of the of ficers named shall fail to make the reports, or perform the duties required, he shall be deemed guilty of a fclony, and fined and imprisoned in the State prison. - Sec. 39, That, upon an acquittal in any criminal case, no costs shall be taxed or collected from the defendant or the State. Sec. 43, That no fee-bill shall issue after the lapse of five years, except upon five days’ notice to the party who 1§ liable for the payment thereof. . - ; 3%

Sec. 48 allows County Commissioners four dollars per day for the time they are employed.; -. ! i Sec. 50 gives the employment of all bailiffs, ‘and othe{ employees about the court room, to the Judge of the Court instead of to the Sheriff as has been the ﬁractice heretofore, and' no person who as served as a deputy of the Sheriff for a year previous is eligible to the appointment. -~ An emergency is declared, and that the act shall be in force frem and after itg passage: ! : .

A Crazy Herring. Mrt. Prosser, the lunatic who cannot again be elected from the Fifth Tennessee District is making "a great ado in Congress and insisting' that a bill shall be passed to “preserve the peace of the States and Territories of this Union,” by which he proposes-to authorize the.President to proclaim martial law in any locality ‘when any person or persons, either singly or in groups or parties, shall go upon the highway, or upon the premises of ahy citizen or citizens of the United States, masked or disguised, or otherwise [sic] making threats by -word or deed, or committing any unlawful acts of any kind whatsoever, from. hen stealing to high treason, ‘and upon conviction they shall be Eunished by fine, imprisonment, or death, at the discretion of the court marsial’!
