MARY’S LITTLE LAME,

The friends of the New York' Sun have been farnishing versions of ‘Mary had a Little Lamb,’ among which we find the following : " :

Mary had a little lamb, | It drank cold water freely, And looked so innocently wise, She called it Horace Greeley.

Mary had a little lamb, He died and was a goner, She took him to Sabine, And he told her to go to the Little Chureh round the corner.

Mary had a little lamb, : Its eyes were heavenly blue, - And if you touch that little lamb “I’ll put a head on you.” And so the teacher turnedhim out, * But still he lingered near, And waited patiently about, “Then walked off on his ear,”’ She put bim in his little bed, And bade him go to rest, ; “‘You bet,” the little lambkin said, ~ “I'll do my level best.” ;

A little boy 9 years old suggests that the following be added. . i Mary had a little lamb, . - This cunning little elf i .~ Would always followsher around, .. " “You know how it‘ig yourself.””

Mary had a little lamb, : You can plainly see, That it will be a sheep Bome day, Or a *‘Heathen Chinee."

Missouri Correspondence.

Me. J. B. StorL:—As lam constantly being questioned as to how I like the South #s a country in which to live, or as a place for a young man to make his mark, I take this method of answering all such inquiries. Missouri is the garden State of all States, so far as I have extended an examination—and I have been in 16 States.— ‘Here we find coal in inexhaugtible quantities and of good quality, which can; be purchased for ten cents per bushel. Jlron ore is found in many places, and many men grow rich through this branch of trade alone. [There are 15 furnaces in the, State, and two rolling mills-—the, former" being capable of turning off 138,000 tons of pig iron annually, worth in market $35 per ton, making the beautiful sum $4,655, 000. The rolling mills are capable of manufacturing 40,000 tons per annum, making, at $BB per ton—the market value of good wrought iroh — $830,000; therefore, the iron product alone of Missouri amounts to $5,485,000 anbually. The rollfag mills are both located in St. Louis.

There are many thousand acres of land in Texas, Arkansag, and Missouri which are as yet not taken up—extending as far as the eye, with the aid of powerful magnifyers, can see. The most leisurely gentlemen; I saw while on my late trip to the Squth were those who came to th'e country early and reared up a family. ~These! families often take up a solid section of valuable land, and all' live adjoining each other. - Yours respectfully, e il F. M. CHAPMAN,

A man calling himself Wm. Wilson and claiming to belong to Monongahela, Penn., Lodge, No. 460, L. 0. 0. F., applied to some of the members of the lodge in this city for assistance, but upon their making inquiries by telegraph, of the first named lodge, it was ascertained that he is an impostor. He is. about b feet 8 inches high, has heavy, dark whiskers and mustache, wears a black slouch hat, imitation Harris’ cassimere coat and vest, black pants’and well worn boots: Pass him around.—South Bend Register, : }

Jonx SwaLLow is the suggestive name of & New York sharper, who is sending proposals to various parties in this vicinity, offering to supply them with cheap counterfeit money. John will “swallow” all he can get out of the dishonest fools who bite at his bait. However, it will be a good i & ol lesson for the embryo scoundrels, and we would advise them to; send their spare change to Mr. Swallow to be taken in..

~ Tuk South Bend Register chronicles the fall of the flag staff over that office, and also mentions the ominous circumstance of a dead fooster lying ‘mear where the staff fell. These circumstances, though trifiing in comparison to many others, may be looked upon as ‘grave warhfngs to that sheet and its corrupt party.

. ELREART preachers are visiting the saloons of that city, and holding religions gervices with the frequenters of the bar and billiard table. It is said to be an excellent advertisement for the saloons and they are-doubling their business.

- The South Bend Register warns the public generally, and Odd Fellows particularly, against an imposter ca.lfing himself William Wilson, claiming to belong to Mouongahela Lodge, Pennsylvania. He is five feet eight inches in ‘height, has heavy dark whiskers and mustache, and wears a slouch hat, cagsimere coatand vest and dark pants.

LIGONIER, IND., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 15, 1871.

“A LYING, PERJURED VILLAIN,”

In a former issue we published a brief reference to the speech delivered by Senator Steele, before the closing ot the Burson case, in ‘which the statement. occurred that Jason B. Brown: Senator from Jackson and Brown, had authornized Mr. Stecle to brand him’ (Brown)a “lying, perjured villain” if he did not carry out his ‘promise to yote for the admission of Burson (in consideration of the Republicans having voted to oust Mr. Sarnighausen). Below we publish Mr. Steele’s remarks in the Senate in regard to. thatmatter, transcribed from the official notes : ‘1 am required to make & question of veracity here to-day between my friend, the Senator from Jackson, and myself.— I said the other day that the Senator from Jackson had made a statement to me, after the testimony of this man Cline, the testimony of this man Lewis, and all the balance of the testimony that he has referred to here was in, and nrfy friends require: it of me to make that statement here to day. I now say, that the Senator from Jackson told-me in conversation in relation to this matter, that he had the testimony of William Lewis, and all the testimony that went before it, and that® there was no cause against Mr. Burson made. I repeat it here, that the gentleman from Jackson made that declaration, and that he “made it stronger tban that. I was urging that the Burson case should be brought to an issue as soon as possible, and ke was urging that the Sarnighausen case should be taken up then, I told bim it could not be taken up then. Then said he to me, “Colonel Stecle, I heard the testimony in that other case, end I tell you now and here that I will report as one of the committee in favor :of Burson. I myself and two other Democrats in that committee will vote to give him his seat upon this floor.” . I say that that declaration was made tome by the Senator ffom Jackson. He has a nght now to give the Senate the reason he does not do it. His mind, perhaps, is changed ; but he has a right to tell the Senate why it is changed. * But the gentleman {rom Jackson made it stronger yet. He said to me, “Colonel Steele, I authorize you before this Senate, if I fail to do what I have stated I would do, to publish me—l' forget the ‘exact words, but at ony rate to publish or denounce him-as “a lying, perjured-villain.” That is what the; gentleman said. Now, if there is & man here—if there is a man within the reach of my voice that doubts what I-say, I call upon John R. Coffroth, who heard bhim say it, to make a statement of the facts. = “In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” I stand or full upon my word. < Now let me say that when I promise a Democrat that I will do a thing; you may depend on it that I'will dg It, or offer some good reason why. Ido not mal%e many promises to Democrats, but when!l do make them I will keep them; when I do make them I will'live up to them if Ican. Ido not know what has been the motive of the gentleman ; but I do know that as far as I am concerned I speak the trdth. Tlam sorry thisthing has occurred, and that it has occurred in this way. ‘There has been something said about a bargain and sale in the Sarnighausen case, and in this case. I say asl said before, that the Democrats in.the Senate were insisting that the case of Sarnighauseén should come up then, and I insisted that it should not, but that the two -cases should go -out togéther. These Democrats, however, were -too sharp for us.— (Laughter.) Gentleman may laugh, but Lord God Almighty pity me if ever I laugh over my ownjshame, and over the damning degradation’of my own perjured soul. The laugh does not: come it at the right place! Keep your :word ;- tell the ‘trath ; stand for the right, -though the beavens fall ; if you make promises, keep them. . et '

I am sorry that I have been required to make these statements, but I make them, nevertheless, under a sense of duty, and I make them knowing that my friend John R. Coffroth, an honorable, high-minded man, though he is'a Democrat, and a man whom I have known for twenty-five years, will confirm what I say. The gentleman from Jackson may have some good reason to offer why he has not done what he said he would do; T know not, what his reasons are ; ask of him-and he will, no doubt, with.regason answer you.

Did Senator Brown rise in his seat and deny the statement of Col. Steele? No) Democratic Senators inform us that he remained quietly in his seat, muttering in a low tone that he had.no recollection of having made the remark attributed to bim by Col. Steele, but if he did, no responsibility attached to it because not made in open Senate! This is his only defense—his only justification of authorizing a brother Senator to brand him “a lying, perjured villain.” o : Oh, shame ! where is thy blush? -

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

To prevent any of our citizens from being victimized by $lO bills on the Farmears’ and Manufacturers’ National bank, of New York, a large pumber of which are in circulation we give the following facts : ' The note is poorly executed, and. may be easily detected. It is printed on ‘heavy paper, and on the face the shaded lines are very coarsely cut.- The back has a centre piece of De Soto discovering the Mississippi and on the left the arms of New York State. On the right side of the centre piece is an eagle and shield. A single glance at this latter will undeceive any one upon whom it is endeavored to pass the bogus note. -

The war being at an end, the ex-Emper-or Napoleon ceases to be a prisonet, and has been released.

APPORTIONMENT CONTROVERSY.

"It was to preserve from salteration the Legislative apportionment of 1867, tbat the Republican members of the Indiana Legislature absquatulated and broke up that body. A greater outrage upon fairness and decency than that Republican apportionment was never inflicted upon the people of any State. Just look at it.

Letter from Franklin County.

HayMonND, Ind., Feb. 25, 1871

Mgr.J. B. StoLL : - Having a little leisure time this afternoon, I thought that I would improve it by writing you a few lines, I'see that the democratic papers throughout the State are hoisting the names of some dozen or more different men in connection with the Governorship of this State in 1872, and T, do not doubt but that all of them are very good men for the office ; but in my opinion the very strongest man in the State for the office ‘of Governor is Wm. S. Holman, of Dearborn county. -« T | . :

Mr. Holman is more popular with the Gernians as a general thing, than any other man, either Democrat or Republican, in the State of Indiana. He will also, if nominated, carry a larger number of republican votes than any otber man whom the Democrats might nominate. His triumphant election to Congress the last two terms, in a district especially constructed for his defeat, will prove the foregoing statement to be the fact. I will say this much : if the members of the Senate had not committed the outrage upon the German Democrats of the State of Indiana, which they have done in ousting Mr. Sarnighausen from his seat in that body,with Holman as the nominee for Governor in 1872, the Democrats would have carried the State by twenty thousand majority. ‘,‘j It seems to me that the expulsion of Mr. ' Barnighausen from the Senate is nothing but angther of the many electioneering schemes gotten up by the republican Senators, and worked through by their united strength (with but a single exception) and the co-operation of a few soft-headed Democrats, - The Germans are indignant, and only await an opportunity when they will redress this wrong in the strongest and most severe manner.,

Democrats may tell the Germans that the Republicans ousted Mr. Sarnighausen from his seat; but the question will be asked : ““Had you Democrats not a work: ing majority in the Senate ?” and this will cause a great many of the Germans to hesitate and consider before they cast their votes at the next election. = . iR

Radiecal Sincerity.

The Indianapolis Journal is laboring to convince our friend Stoll, of the Ligonier Banner, that he and the forty thousand German voters in Indisna were badly treated by the Democracy, when Sarnighausen was expelled from the Senate.— We are free to maintain that the ousting of Mr. Sarnighusen was a great outrage ; but the Demoeracy are guiltless of participation in it. It was the votes of Radical Senators, aided by four hirelings and ren--egades from tbe Democracy, that did the ~foul wrong. John B. Btoll isa gentleman of too much sense, and too googe: Democrat, to be deceived b{ the Journal's specious “soft-sawder.” If the Radical State organ is sincere in its,g’:;of}easidn of regard for Mr. Stoll'it will have the chance of “prcving its faith by its workse” in 1872, .when Mr. 8. will be a Democratic nomi- . nee for Aunditor of Btate. * Will the Jous“nal ieditor write for and vote for him

A MUNIFICENT DONATION.

Robert Barnes, of Evansville, who died recently, willed his immense estate, valued at from §800,000.t0 $1,000,000, for the erection of a college for the education of a certain class of the orphan children of the State, with a most liberal endowment for their support. The Evansville Journal publishes the copy of the will, that has been left for probate, the original having disappeared in & way that seems dark. It is said that the heirs, although rich, will contest the will, and attempt to break it. We copy a few of the provisions of the bequests, which are in some respects similar to those of Stephen Girard in his en-’ dowment of the Orphan College at Philadjlphia. The will thus expreésses his peculiar views:

Whereas, I have femg long tinie been impressed with t rtance of educating a certain portion of the ‘poor, for which, in my judgment, there is but little provision made, either by Church or State, viz: The poor children of parents who are destitute of means,who have no connection with church or sect of any denomination, | who style! themselves Christians, or any secret society or fraternity, and of placing them, by the early caltivation of their moral principles, above the many temptations to which, tirough poverty and ignorance, they are exposed. And, notwithstanding I have the welfare of the whole human family at heart, yet I more especially sympathize with the oppressed and destitute to whom I have reverted, and especially for whom I make the following bequest : First, I bequeath all that tract of land situated in section sixteen (16,) Knight township, Vanderburgh county, State of Indiana, (for the pufpose hereinafter stated, and for no other whatever,) unto the Board of Trustees of the Indiana State Association of Spiritualists and their successors, in trust forever, to and for the several uses, intents and purposes hereinafter mentioned and declared of and concerning the same. . That is to say, 80 far as regards the foregoing described tract of land, that no part thereof shall ever be, sold or alicnated by the said Board of Trustees or their successors, but the same shall forever remain for a college, and be occupied assuch only by the poor children of liberal minded parents, who stand aloof from all orthodox creeds and secret associations whatever. ) A

121,129 5

And so far as regards the residue of my lands and personal property, they shall be sold to the best advantage by my executors hereinafter named, and so much of the proceeds as may be ' required for the erection of said college shall be applied, and the remainder be placed in bank stocks and securities, which shall remain a standing capital forever, and the interests and dividends shall be applied to defraying the expenses of the college from year to year ; and in case of a surplus of interests and dividends, they shall be added to the capital in bank and form a part thereof torever. = o

The said college shall be constructed of the most durable material, and in the most permanent and convenient manner (avoiding useless ornament), attending mainly to strength and comfort, the cost thereof not to exceed $20,000,t0 which may be added $5,000 tor the erection of a suitable house for the principal teachers, and other necessary buildings. | " The scholars ‘shall be provided. with all guitable books ; they shall be instructed in the various branches of a sound education, comprehending reading, writing, grammar, arithmetic, geography, navigation, surveying, - practical mathematics, astronomy, natural, chemical and experimental philosophy, and other branches, as the capacity of the several scholars may merit or warrant. I would have ‘them taught facts and things, rather than words and signs, especially I desire that by every proper means a pure attachment to purely honest principles and to the sacred rights of conscience, free thought and liberal sentiment, which is the true ‘innate principle of man’s nature.

. Scholars shall be admitted into the college at the age ot six years and continue till the age of eighteen 1f they desire; at which time, upon due examination' and approval by the Superintendent, he or she shall receive a diploma. In no event, whatever, shall any part of the capital stock of said college be sold, disposed of or pledged to meet the current expenses -of the said institation, to which I donate the interests, ingomes and dividends thereof, exclusively. I enjoin and require that no Ecclesiastic Missionary or Minister of any sect whatsoever, shall ever hold.or _ exercise any station or duty whatsoever, in said college, nor shall any such person ever be admitted for any purpose or as a visitor, within the premises appfopriated to the purposes of the said college. The board shall appoint a Superintendent, whoge duty it shall be to take charge of the farm of the College, attend to baving it tilled and to all the duties and requirements connected therewith, and for the benefit of pupils by way of exercise and for recreation, as well as the develop: ments of body and mind. I desire that males be required ‘to lahor two hours in the forenoon of eacli day. . - The produce raised from the farm to be used in the College; if any surplus, it shall besold and the proceeds applied to pay current expenses of the institution. Should it unfortunately ‘happen that any scholar admitted into: the. College, shall, from mal-conduct, have become nnfit companions for the, rest, and mild, persuasive means of reform fail to prove effectual to. reform them, they shall be expelled—but no harsh means of correction or compulsion shall be resorted to. ‘

The Progress of Centralisation.

While Congress is making provision for an increase of pay to judicial officers, it is worthy of notice that -there is a demand from various quarters for.a corresponding increase of judicial officers themselves.” Where the carcass is, there the buzzards gather. There are now about @ dozen bills before Congress providing for additional United States Judicial Districts. The-demand- arises from the increasing tendency to Zentralization stim. ulatea and encouraged by every act of Congress, and the consequent habit of burdening the Uniced States Courts with business which could as well and even better be brought before the State Courts. The demand will be further increased by the multiplication of enforcement and election laws, and Ku-Klux laws, by which Congrees is placing the regulation of elections and the government of all af. fairs, State as well as national, into the hands of the Federal judiciary. Tt'is not the Treasury alone that. suffers from this increase ot judicial power. The more courts the more judicial disputes, and litigation is a. worse evil than taxation.

JOHN B. STOLL — DEMOCRATS AND e THE GERMANS.

. Under the above heading the Lafayette Courier, (Radical,) appropriating an article from the Indianapolis Journal, seeks to create the impression that the Democratic party, by -its leaders, has treated Mr. Stoll ‘badly. - The remark attributed to Brown was that “ he (Stoll) was 8 Pennsylvania Dutchman.” =~ Now, inthe first instance, we wish to say that Brown is not, never has been, and in all human probability never will be the leader of the Democratic party. The universe does not rest upon the shoulders of that gentleman, nor do. we think he is entitled to be considéred as an indispensable pillar in the organization of the democratic party. We took occasion thé other day to express our-opinion of the BirdSarnighausen matter, and of : those con: cerned in it. Cid e .

‘John B. Stoll is recognised by, the Gemocratic party as an able; honest and intelligent‘man, whose services are worth more to its fortunes than the combined political -lifetime efforts of a dozen ranting, roving, time-serving demagogues. ~ The Democratic party is the friend of the German citizen, and no ‘one man's opinion will be sufficient to -change its feelings, or pervert its record. Are we understood ?— Evansville Courier. = .

We had not originslly intended to copy the above article, but since a number of republican papers in this part of the State have seen fit to reproduce the articles of the Indianapolis Journal and: the Lafayette. Courier, we deem it propes to give the opinion of & leading democratic paper a place in ‘our columns, if for no other purpose - than to show that the peevish sneer of _the self-styled “ lying, perjured villain Jason Bazoo Brown is viewed in its proper light by every able Demograt ‘in the State. - - : S

City vs. Country Pai)ers‘.

‘Take, for example, the Cincinnati Gazette. 'This paper charges for advertising 25 cents per line, small type measure, - for each insertion. A column c¢ontains 333 lines, worth, at this rate, $33.22 per wecek, or for 52 weeks $4,327.44! While the country paper can gét but $lOO a column for a whole year! Can you understand now why the city papers can be furnished for $1? A’ country publisher could well afford to gi#e ‘his entire edition aw{xy, provided he could secure one column of advertising at city fates; c ' Theready matter which appears in city weeklies is simply a rehasb of that which has appeared in the daily during the preceding week, and the labor for setting the type being paid for its appearance in the daily, why of course it costs: nothing to transfer it to the weekly. A city editor can “kill two birds with one stone”—4d country publisher cannot. Every line that appears in a country paper is set for that paper alone, and can appear in no other, while it is different in the city. as we have shown. Taken all'in all, there is far more labor required, and a greater expense incurred in the publication of a country newspaper, than our readers may imagine. ‘How essential it is, therefore; that they should; be encouraged, and their industry rewarded by every citizen in the county subscribing for the:paper, and doing all that can be done towards supporting it. ' Lo '

Free Trade in Cables.

The Fiee Cable bill which Mr. Fernando Wood' has pushed with such, energy during all the session, only required ‘the President's signature to become a law. It provides-that.any Company may land a sub-marine telegraph, cable on the shores of‘the United States'after proper notification in writing to the government, and that business shall be transacted.over it in the order of service message first, government telegrams next, and messages of the public third, and in the order in which they are filed. It further requires a message of ten words, not counting address and signature, "to be sent for: $5 in gold. It throws submarine cable- telegraphing open to the liveliest competition for all parties. The tariff rate. was put on in the Senate, but Mr. Wood accepted it in the House rather than lose the bill,.

The President refused to sign the above bill on “the ground that foreign governments were not included for reciprocity in the measure. -~ Smsaly

Arkansas.

Impeachments do not seem a successful experiment in this country. The latest and most complete failure in relation to them is that of the Arkansas Legislature in the complicated carpet bag snarl in that State.. The Board of Impeachment Managers after exorting the Senate to set apart a day for the trial of the case, now reports that it' has not been able to find any fact on which to ground the necessary charges against Governor Glayton, This isa sorry dilemma to be found in. The heavy situation is, however, somewhat relieved by the naive confession of the injured Governor in a special message, that some men voted for him as United States Senator, who did so because they wished to be Tid of his services as Governor of Arkansas. Washington, as Clayton’s residence, was more to their taste than Little Rock. Tastes will differ. Distance lends enchantment to the view. ; '

Exit the Two-Thirds,

The Republicans die hard with their two-thirds rule. Itisso effectually broken up by the increased Democratic vote that a contemptible effort was made in'the last hours of the old session of Congress by the Radicals to so amend the rules as to give a majority the same power to force the legislation through as now belong to the two-thirds. The Democrats’ served prompt notice that they would resist this attempt to the very borders of revolution before the rights of the minority should be thus trampled on, whereupon the Radicals abandonedit. ikt

Congressman Bowen, who was recently tried on charge of bigamy in Washington City, barely escaped for the present a term ic the penitentiary. - The jury disagreed, being eleven for conviction and one for acquittal. - The trial comes off some time this month again, and the prospect is pretty good for giving the logal bigamist an additional term of office=—one in Congress ‘and one in the penitentiary, *' - -

', Buncembe. : ~ There was once &' conceited member of Congress known as Colonel' Buncombe, who was almost al ways upon his feet making long and empty speeches, having no other imaginable object than his own glorification. On ‘one occasion, when the bored- members ‘were leaving the house almost in a body, . while he was upon the floor, he cried out :— “Gentlemen, you may all go; T canjust as well finish what T hiave, to say by myself, for I do not speak for ‘the louse, but for Buncombe.” The phrase has since been & proverbial one for concejted speakers with more words than ideas, and who seck to speak for et-fect-and’ selfish purposes. . Colonel Buncombe has left behind him aiwhole army of followers, who. thay be heard almost everywhere throughout the country. o

The Akron editorial convention adopted a resolution characterizing it as unprofessional in “copdiictors of neéwspapers to indulge in personal denunciation and’defamation in connection with the discussion of general and local topics.” The enforcement of the resolution woyld drive one third of the. quill drivers out of business in ninety days, personal denunciation and defamation constituting nearly -their entire stock in trade.— Bryan Democrat.

Just so. “We know ef one-or two individuals connected witl the press in this part of-the State whose- “ editorial abilit¥" (1) consists exclusively of an aptitude to tradueée and defame those who refuse to recognize these compounds-of villainy and meanness in any) other light than their true character justifies.

- Thirty negroes have been killed in Brashear Parish, Louisiana, within the last £wo years. But three of these were: killed by white men, and not & single negro murderer has been punished.—Ez. This is & stinging comment upon' the hue and ‘ery raised by Senator Morton and his friends. It may safely be sad - that two-thirds of the crimes committed in the-South are committed by the negroes z

themselves. But-under the specious pretext of raconstructing the Southern States for none other than politicpl ‘designs, it has been found convenient for Morton to charge all troubles down there to Democratic account. Why do not-.the officers of the law in Brashear Parish and elsewhere in the South bring the black murderers to just punishment instéad of holding all the good people down there responsible ? The reason is plain. They wish to arouse passions and prejudices in the minds of the Northern people, so they may have an excuse for disfranchising the Southern States in the campaign of 1872. — Vincennes Sun. oo o .

Ciear Grit,

In a recent lecture in New York, Rev. Robert Collyer told the following story as ong among many illustrations of “cleargrit,’ the subject of his lecture: i “A long time ago a minister who had ~ two ‘deacons in his congregation given. to sinful ways preached a very practical sermon, but withput thinking of them.— During the delivering .of his discourse he took occasion to say, ‘Liar, stand on your feet,; and to his amazement one of the deacons stood up and remained standing until the exhortation was concludeds It so happened that the next paragraph commenced with these words: ‘Let those addicted to double dealing stand forth.’ ‘The deacon who had already arose looked over to the other deacon and whispered, — ‘you had better get up; Idid.”

A Truism.

Governor Seymour, in his discourse before Cornell University, June 80, 1870, says: “The greatest wisdom of the Legislature is shown by the smallest amount of legislation, and its strongest claim upon our gratitude grows ?ut of,! what it does not do.” Out of the voice of suffering the people can bear witness to the truth of this. A man who could’seec and say a word like that deserved to have been elected President, for we need only a change of venue to apply the same language to Congress.—XN. Y. World. ' °

_ The opinion of Go¥. Seymour, so forcibly and eloquently expressed, meets with a cordial response in the hearts of millions of his countrymen. S

Can anybody tell us a good reason why a farmer should persist in selling everything he raises by the bushel when he can make three times as much by turning his attention, to cattle, cows and hogs, and feeding what he can raise: to his stoclk, realizing from his stock the profits of his labor? We cannot see the reason for such shortsightedness, and would like to have some man who knows the reason.explain it for our enlightenment.— Valparaiso Vidette. . - 2l

The Democrats intended, if the Legislature had not been broken up,; to reduce Governor Baker’s allowance for house rent from §5,000 to $2,000 per annum.— ‘To prevent so dire a calamity, the Governor went into the Radical caucus and told his friends to. skedaddle. And they did. Thereupon he generously vetoes the bill reducing the salary of Agent of State to $5OO a year, although a Democrat accepted the office at that sum.- “A fellow feels inge makes vs wondrous kind.” — Hvanss ville Oourier.
