TERBE HAUTE,' IND. :vr

TVcdncsday Morning, Jan. 195 1870.

||THE Detroit Tribune says: "It is reportled that 15 EN NET is negotiating for the Ifeale of the Herald to the Tammany Copperheads, they to patronize him while living, and take the establishment when ,he dies. FAUST once made a similar trade with the same party."

THE woman's paper, the Revolution, having invited the public to send it brief statements of the doing* of woman, the Xewark Courier responds by Raying that a woman of that city has successfully "done" her husband out of 31,800, and eloped with another fellow and that further particulars can be furnished if do.-ired.

HON. JESSE D. BRIGIIT'S anxiety to change the name of the "Lincoln Benevotent Association of Covington," suggests to the editorial mind of the Indianapolis Mirror the thought that if changing odious and unpopular names is the game, WHY not JESSE allow the work, like charity to commence at home?

THE FIIIEKDS of Woman's Suffrage in Michigan are to hold a State Convention at Battle Creek, on the 20th and 21st of this month. Gn.ES B. STEBBIKS, of Detroit, an eloquent and learned gentleman, will address the Convention. Also,'Mrs. LIVEIIMOKK, Mrs. E. C. STANTON or LUCY STONE. The more the subject is agitated, the more clearly and correctly the people will understand it.

GENERAL PAINE, from the Committee on Elections, will soon report a bill to preserve the purity of elections for mcliibers of Congress, and President and ViccI'residcnt. The penalty attaching to false voting, fraudulent registration, intimidation, or other act which may present a fair expression of the people at

polk, is a fine of $500 and imprison^mentfor a term not exceeding three years. The Indianapolis Journnl forcibly suggests that if Congress would pass a law providing a uniform.time, in all the

States, for choosing members of Congress, it would do very much toward purifying such elections. While different States, "lying contiguous, hold their elections on different days, ample opportunity is given for colonization. Innumerable instances of this are found in the elections in the Eastern Stales, especially tho-e within striking distance of Tammany Hall.

THERE arc thousands of the purest and best men of the Republican party of this State who thank CHARLES SUJINER for his recant strong speech in favor of a reduction of taxes. It may be that Mr. SUMNER is not a man of the most jironounced financial ability. We admit, as "a contemporary puts it, that he has won distinguished reputation by his broad views and sound arguments upon the foreign policy of the Republic, rather than by his legislation upon domestic aflairs. 'Yet Senator SUMNER was also known for his life-long enmitv to slavery upon the soil of America, and in his cry of Down with the Taxes" lie,is only opposing a new form of slavery, which, if it be less hateful oii account of its inhumanity, is scarcely less burdensome and oppressive than the oilier. The Senator from Massachusetts has reason to be satislied with his record. Eor years and years llic proslavery press of his country had no name to give him that was not one of reproach yet ce saw slavery die and his reputed demagoguism acknowledged to be statesmanship. After his famous Alabama speech, England had no epithet too r§* savage to bestow upon him yet to-day -&L England reads the solution of the Ala|IL bam a question through Mr. FUMXKR S spectacles. 1 Lis mind is far-reaching, j-rv grasping the certainties of the future of

Jf"-' his country with no doubtful hold and in his speech last week in the Senate he R/ showed that he understood the great burden under which the nation now labors, p- "War taxes should not be peace taxes," "•-aid Mr. SUMNKR, "and so long as the ii present system continues there is 1 a constant and painful memento or war, while business halts in "chains and life bends under the load.''

Into the policy of the Administration to pay off the National debt at so many dol-

la.'s per second, Mr. SUMNER pours the 'following hot shot:—"It is beautiful, but it is not business. Unquestionably, busi\iess requires that we should meet cxisting obligations according to their letter and spirit but it docs not require paymerit in advance, nor payment ot obligalions resting upon others. To do this is beautiful, but beyond the line of business." In concluding this remarkably statesmanlike speech, Senator SUMNER said, "The country will breathe freer, business will be more elastic, life will be easier, as the assurance goes forth that no heavy taxation shall be continued in order to pay the debt in eleven years, as now proposed, nor in iittecn yours, nor in twenty years. With diminished taxation, and resources increasing immeasurably, the National debt will cease to be a burden, becoming fine by degrees and beautifully less, until it gradually ccascs lo exist."

We 'believe the attempt to pay the National debt in half a generation is assuming "obligations resting'njion others. Let us fix the taxes at such rates as will promptly pay the interest and gradually reduce the principal. This course will not impair the national credit at heme or abroad.

Would it be good policy for a man to toil, day and night, to lift a small mortgage from a magnificent estate in order that his heir might receive i', at his death, unincumbered? AVould i. be sound policv to do this if the estate were rapidly increasing in value so that twenty-live rears hence it could fumi-dt means to clear itself without distress or discomfort to anyone? Will not this generation have

done'enough—including

toned pi

the history of

the last ten years—if it shall leave some portion of the national burden to be born by tUosc who shall come after us.

THE editor of the Cincinnati Times is N erv confident that it must be a comfortable thing to be hung by a Georgia Vigilance Committee, they go so qmctly .uul inoffensively about their little amusements ot his kind, tolerating no unseemly noise or 1i-turbance. In the account of a recent Lflair of this kind, it is gratifying to note "about three hundred people were nrcsciit, and no mob violence ims cummiU-d/ notwithstanding the prisoner was btubthe hist, and when swung of! reT?

trict- Md GEN. CAMPBEIX, Goverirof of Wyoming, is in Washington to procure legislation for the Territoiy relative to the Indians and other subject.

SENATOR THURMAN is being strongly urged by sundry Democratic papers of Ohio and Pennsylvania, as chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

THE official count, ^ust made, shows that Governor Austin, of Minnesota, had a majority of only 183 at the late election. General Grant had 15,819 majority. So much for party quarrels, fes

To UNDO the bad work of their Democratic predecessors Is the imperative duty of the present Legislature of Ohio. The prompt repeal of the abominable admixture law is a good start in the proper direction.

IT is probable that a bill will be introduced in Congress this winter, providing for the adoption of a multiple of the franc of France as the common unite of value for an international coinage.

THE alacrity displayed by the Mississippi Legislature^ ratifying theFifteenth Amendment is an indication of a strong desire to get the State back hno the Imon family as soon as possible.

PIERRE BONAPARTE, the uouuleKwie Prince, is the fourth son of Lucien Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon I, and is about fifty-five years of age. He has been a wild rover in his day, having sojourned in nearly every civilized country of the world.

GOVERNOR PADEI.KORD, of Rhode Island, told the Legislature all he wanted to in a message not two columns long. The Governor of Maryland found twelve columns necessary, ami the Governor of Pennsylvania needed even more than that. H'

THE Illinois Constitutional Convention docs not meet expectations. It begins to be apprehended that very little good will come of it, though we hope that at least some of the bad elements of the old Democratic Constitution will get purged out of it. "MACI:" writes to the Enquirer: "After *a careful survey of the situation, I have concluded that we may a* well throw up the sponge on the Fifteenth Amendment.

We must grin and bear it, at least until we can find tome form of redress which is not visible to the naked eye at the present writing."

WHEREVER county conventions have been held to select delegates to the Republican State Convention, the people have turned out in very large numbers harmony lias prevailed, and though it is vet too early to talk of "great enthusiasm, the quiet firm confidence that augurs the best results has been' everywhere apparent.

JUDGE LINTON STEVENS has written a letter on the situation, in Georgia, in which he objects to the whole scheme of reconstruction has much to sav bitterly of negroes, scalawags and carpet-bagger? and'indulges in a superfluity of italics. He closes with the remark that perhaps lie "really had done just as well not to begin," in which few will be inclined dis agree with him.

BRIGHAM YOUNG must look sharp.— His subordinates are becoming reckless in the matter of opinion. Over six thousand Mormons, including sundry prominent elders, are boldly advocating, in one of the Salt Lake newspapers, the abolition of the one-man power of the priesthood, foreign missions, and all mercantile monoplies, favoring the recognition of all religious and plural marriages, when based upon pure affection, opposing civil and religious persecutions, and advising strict obedience to the General Government. —————

THE Convention of Temperance iften, held in Concord, N. II., last week, placed an independent ticket in the field Re\. L. D. Barrows, ofTilton, having received the nomination lor Governor, and llcnt) D. Prorce, of Ilillsboro' (brother of the late ox-President Pierce,) for Railroad Commissioner. 1 he want of unity in the convention did not carry much encouragement to the new party, although its iniluence in a State where there is such a small majority ofRepublieans cannot butbe looked upon with some apprehension. The Republican party are not so thoroughly consolidated a* thev have been, owing to petty quarrels among some of the leading men, whereas the Democrats are united} and will, doubtless, expend every effort in order to secuie a triumph next March. This third party—and the fact cannot be gainsaid—will add to the disabilities under which the Republicans lie and if, as a delegate stated at the convention, the Free Will Baptists in the State arc unanimous for the Temperance ticket, the contest will not only be a close but a doubtful one, for that denomination are very numerous in the State. It behoo\c.-t the patriotic men of the Granite State to be up and doing, and that with' unwonted earnestness and-*eal, otherwise defeat \ill come from their own difficulties and the strong opposition which is to be arrayed against them.

2 IT IS generally supposed that Colonel Dowling, of Torre Haute, is the author of the platform adopted by the Democracy at Indianapolis last week.—Lafayette Journal.

The supposition not correct. No one man is the author of that platform. The various planks were sawed in numerous intellectual mills. ....

A CORRESPONDENT writing from Kokomo says: "Miss Poindextcr, formerly of Terre Haute, has moved to this city. This voung lady has the reputation of outrivaling the Davenport Brothers. A cabinet is being made for her, and it is said lv those who have seen her that her rope-tying feat is far ahead of anything that is done by the Davenports. A well known gentleman of this city is going to travel with her for exhibition."

WE liear'a painful rumor from Evansville. It is said that. Welborn, the good looking and geninl member of the Legislature from" Vanderburg county, has proved to be a forger, a defaulter and an absconder. He is said to have run away with a large amount of funds held in trust by liini. The tiger is the rock on which lie split.—Ind. Mirror.

The above rumor reached us some days ago, but we forebore to give it publicity, disliking to wound the feelings of Welborn's relatives, who are most estimable people. We do not think the amount of fnnds which lie carried off was very large, and it is said that his friends have made good the entire defalcation. His bad cojiduct was in the official capacity of Treasurer of the E., C. «& P. R. R. Co.

SOME days since we mentioned a rumor that George C. Harding was about to accept an editorial position upon the Indianapolis Journal. That report appears to have been well founded, judging from this item in the Sentinel of yesterday:

The much talked of newspaper change becomes public, and amounts to this: Mr. Will Pound, city editor of the Journal retires from that position'to more fully devote himself to the interests of the Cincinnati Gazette, of which he has fsr some time been special correspondent, and the vacancy caused thereby is fillet! by Mr. George C. Harding. Ben. F. Reed, assistant city editor of the Jounuil, also retires. "No other changes are known, although rumors of divers and sundry can be heard upon the street.

George is now back in the old position which he tilled with much credit to himself and to the entire acceptance of the Journal's patrons. He brings to his new engagement a greatly improved reputation as a writer of acknowledged abilityMay he tarry long at the city editor's desk in the Journal office, earning fame and stamps for himself and his employers.

The retirement of Will Pound from his

of the Cincinnati Gazette and

nalism to which he will now devote all his time is the least laborious and mos profitable. We congratulate the Gazette upon its good fortune in securing the service-* of so competent a correspondent and a gentleman who is universally respeeted" not only by his professional brethren, but bv all who enjoy his acquaint-

Tip: Lafayette Cburunlearns that "an effort is being made to induce Rev. Dr Bowman, Preside&t of Asburv University, to permit his ,nat&e tcj|be used in the State Qopventidp? jin^epniieotion with the nomination oinSuparintendont of Public Instruction."- t£'

A DESPATCH .from Indianapolis says: "Mr. Drake, who came here recently as the State-Agent of the Fireman's Fund Insurance Company in San Francisco, was arretted to-night for forgery, and lodged in jail The appearances are ^*ery damaging, he having given a note to the Citizen's National Bank last Saturday, to close accounts, signed by Winchester & Sapp, of tW: National Hotel, and indorsed by George McAust, both of whom pronounce their signatures forgeries."

A CORRESPONDENT of the Sentinel writing from this city thus alludes to the female college, or "St. Agnes Hall:"

This institution, though now temporarily closed, is under the general direction of "the Protestant Episcopal Church, The building is both large and commodious, and admirably designed for. the purposes of its erection. It is one of the neatest and most tasteful edifiees of the kind in the State, and cost over qne hundred thousand dollars. Why it is not in the full tide of successful operation I am not able to sav.

If the writer is very anxious to know "ivliy it is not in the full tide of successful operation," we beg leave to refer him to the Assistant Bishop of this Diocese as lie party most likely to possess the desired information.

IN ADDITION to the report of the conf! agration at Indianapolis, which we had by- telegraph yesterday, the papers of that city bring us but little intelligence. It appearsjfrom the Indianapolis Journal's eport that the origin of the fire has been t.raced to the furnace in the ticket office. Mr. McDowell, book-keeper for Bowen, Stewart & Co., had been selling tickcts in the office, but had left some time before the lire broke out. Mr. Crawford, pastor of Trinity Chapel, first discovered the fire. He smelied thesmoke, and putting has hand down to the crack in the floor fill it hot. Mr. Crawford acted with exttraordinary discretion, and by his coolness and self-possession doubtless prevented a panic. After satisfying himself that the building was on fire, he walked down the aisle, and whispered to the people on either side to get up and go out quietly. By this means the building was luilf emptied before it became generally kaiown what was the matter, rortunatethere were no serious accidents.

Mr. Morrison's building and that of General T. A. Morris, just north of it, were the only buildings burned. The south room in Morrison's building was empty, haying been quite recently vacated by Murphy, Johnson & Co., who moved into their new building on the opposite side of Maryland street. The next room was occupied by Alvord, Talbott & Co., as a wholesale grocery, while tine third was occupied as a wholesale drug store by Patterson, Moore & Talbott. Very little was saved out of the grocery. In the drug store a. large quantity of coal oil was stored, and this was taken out of the back door and to a place of safety as: soon as the fire was discovered.

General Morris'building was occupied lv Copeland's millinery store, and West Si Go's queensware establishment. Copeland saved a good deal of his stock, but nothing wat attempted to be saved out of West's. It is impossible to give the exact loss, but the following is an approximation Alford, Talbot & Co............. 800,000 Patterson, ilooro & ialbot on'!5lx Oopclam) o-'n!S Most 1& Co

It is believed that the losses are nearly covered by insurance, but we have as yet no reliable list of the companios and ai aounts involved.

A number jumped from the second story windows, but none were seriously hurt. At the Olympic Theatre, where religious services were being held, a similar scene occurred. Several women fainted, and a number of persons were bruised. Telegraph wires were prostrated in all directions. The weather, which had been very warm all day, turned cold after the storm, and during the night froze nearly as hard as at any time during the winter. A similar change throughout the region west of here.

"About thirty years ago," said Judge P., '•'I stepped into a bookstore in Cincinnati, in search of some books that I wanted. While there a little ragged boy, not over twelve years of age, came in and inquired for a geography. "Plenty of them," was the salesman's reply. n* "How much do they cost? "One dollar, my lad." "I did not know they Vere so much.,....

He turned to go out, and e\ en upeued the door, but closed it again and came back. I have only got sixty-one cents," said he, "could you let me have a geography, and wait a little while for the rest of the money?"

How eagerly his little bright eyes looked up for an answer and how he seemed to shrink within his ragged clothes when the man, not very, kindly, told him he could not!

The disappointed little fellow looked up to me, with a very poor attempt at a smile and left the store. I followed him, and overtook him. "Arid what now?" I asked. "Try another place, sir."

Shall I go, too, and see how you suc^ ceed?" "Oh, yes, if you like,' said he, in surprise.

Four different stores I entered with him, and each time he was refused. ,_,(*[• Will you try again?" I asked. "Yes, sir, 1 shall try them all, or I should not know whether I could get one."

We enteie 1 the fifth store, and the little fellow walked up manfully and told the gentlemen just what he wanted, And how much money he had. "Yon want the book very much" said the proprietor.

"les sir very much." '•'Why do you want it so very, very much?" "To study, sir. 1 can't go to school, but I study when 1 can at home. All the boys have got one, and they will get ahead of me. Besidss, my father was a sailor, and I want to learn of the places where he used to go." "Does he go to those places now?" asked the proprietor.

He is dead," said the boy, softly. Then he added, after a while,"! am going to be a sailor, too." "Are you, though?" asked the gentleman, raising his eyebrows curiously. "Yes, sir, if I live. "Well, my lad, I will tell you what I will do I will let you have anew geography, and you may pay the remainder .of the money when you can, or I will let you have one that is not new for fifty cents.

Are the leaves all in it. and just like the others, only not new?" "Yes, just like the new ones.

Last year I went to Europe on one of the finest vessels that ever plowed the wa-. ters of the Atlantic. We had very beautiful weather until very near the end of the voyage then came a most terrible storm that would have sunk all on board had it not bgen for the captain.

Every spar was laid low, the rudder was almost useless, and a great leak had Shown itself, threatening to fill the 3hip. The crew were all strong, willing men, and the mates were practical seamen of the first class but after pumping one whole night, and still the water was gaining upon them, they gave up in despair and prepared to take-, the boats, though they might have known that no small boat could ride such a sea. The captaint, ^•ho had been below with his charts, now datrie up. He saw how matters stood, and with a voice that I heard distinctly iibove the roar of the tempest, he ordered every, man to his post.

Lit

was suprising to see those men bow eforc the strong will of their captain ind hurry ljack to the pumps.

The captian then started below to exmine the leak. As he passed me I asked him if there was any hope. He looked at iiie, then at the other passengers, who had Crowded up to hear the reply, and said, rebuklingly: "Yes, sir there is hope as long as one inch of this deck remains above water. When I see none of it, then I shall abandon the vessel, and not before nor' one of my crew, sir. Every thing shall be done to save it, and if we fail it will not be from inaction. Bear a hand, eyery one of you, at the pumps."

Thrice during the day did we despair, but the captain's dauntless courage, perseverance and powerful will mastered every mind on board, and we. went to work again. ''I will land you safely at the dock in Liverpool," said he, "if you will be men."

And he did land us safely, but the ves sel sunk, moored to the dock, The captain stood on the top of the sinking vessel, receiving the thanks and the blessing of the passengers, as they passed

down

the gang-plank. I was the last to leave. As I passed, he grasped my hand and said: "JudgeP., do you recognize me?'

I told him that I was not aware that I ever saw him until I stepped aboard liis ship

"EARLY DAYS" IN NEVADA.

Silver Land Nabobs—Fortunes Made and Lost.

By Mark Twain in the Buffalo Express.] One of the curious features of Pacific coast life is the startling uncertainty that marks a man's career in the mines. He ljiay spring from poverty to wealth so suddenly as to turn liis hair white, and tlien after a while he may become poor again so suddenly as to make all that fchite hair fall off and leave his head as clean as a billiard ball. The great Nevada silver excitement of '5S—'59 was prolific in this sort of vicissitudes. I Two brothers, teamsters, did some hauling for a man in Virginia City, and had to take a small segregated portion of a silver mine in lieu of $300 cash. They gave an outsider a third to open the mine, and they went on teaming. But not long. Ten months afterward the mine was out of debt and paying each owner $8,000 tc $10,000 a month—say $100,000 a year.— They had that handsome income for just febout two years—and they dressed in the loudest kind of costumes and wore mighty diamonds, and played poker for amusement, these men who had seldom had twenty dollars at one time in all their lives before. One of them is tending bar for wages, now, and the other is serving liis country as Commander-in-Chief of a street car in San Francisco at §75 a month. He was very glad to get that employment, too.

One of the earliest nabobs that Nevada was delivered of wore §0,000 worth of diamonds in his bosom, and swore lie was unhappy because he couldn't spend his money as fast as he made it. But let us learn from him that peristent efibrt is bound to achieve success at last. Within a year's time his happiness was secure for he hadn't a cent to spend.

Another Nevada nabob boasted an income that often reached $16,000 a month and he used to love to tell how lie had worked in the very mine that yelded it, for $5 a day, when lie first came to the country. Three years afterward he at' tained to the far more exceeding grandeur of working in it again, at four dollars a day.

The silver and sage-brush State has knowledge of another of these pets of fortune—lifted from actual poverty to affluence almost in a single night—who was able to offer $100,000 for a position of high official distinction, shortly afterward, and did offer it—and a, little over a year ago a friend saw him shoveling snow on the Pacific Bailroad for a living, away up on the summit of the Sierras, some 7,000 feet above the level of comfort and the sea. The friend remarked that it must be pretty hard work, though, the snow was twenty-five feet deep, it promised to be a steady job, at least. he said, he didn't mind it noiv, though a month or so ago when it was sixty-two feet deep and still a snowing, lie wasn't so much attached to it. Such is life.

Then there was John Smith, That was not his name, but we will call him that. He was a good, honest, kind-hearted fellow, born and reared in the lower ranks of life, and miraculously ignorant. He drove a team, and the team belonged to another man. By-and-by he married an excellent woman, who owned a small ranch—a ranch that paid them a comfortble living, for although it yielded but little hay, what little it did yield was worth from $250 to $500 in gold per ton in the market. Presently Smith traded a few acres of the ranch for a small undeveloped silver mine in Gold Hill. He opened the mine and built an unpretending tenstamp mill. Eighteen months afterward he quit raising hay, for his mining income had reached a most comfortable figure. Some people said it was worth $30,000 a month, and others said it was $60,000. Smith was very rich any how. He built a house out In the desert—right in the most forbidding and otherwise howling desert—and it was currently reported that that house cost him a quarter of a million. Possibly that was exaggerated somewhat, though it certainly was a fine house and a costly one. The bedsteads cost $400 or $500 apiece.

And then the Smiths went to Europe and traveled. And when they came back Smith was never tired of telling about the fine hogs he had seen in England, and the gorgeous sheep lie had seen in Spain, and the fine cattle he had noticed in the vicinity of Rome. He was full of the wonder of the old world, and advised^ everybody to travel. He said a man never imagined what surprisng things there were in the world till he had traveled.

One day. on board ship, the passengers made up a pool of $500, which wa« to be the property of the man who should come nearest to guessing the run of the vessel for the next twenty-fo'ir hours. Next day, toward noon, the figures were all in the purser's hands in sealed envelopes.— Smith was serene and happy, for he had been bribing the engineer. But another party won the prize! Smith said: "Here, that won't do! He guessed two miles wider of the mark than I did.'

The purser said: "Mr. Smith, you missed it further than any man on board. We traveled two hundred and eight miles vesterdav." "Well, sir "said Smith, "that's just where I've got you, for guessed I two hundred and nine. If you'll look at my Aggers again you'll find a 2 and two naughts, which stands for 200 don't it?—and after 'em you'll find a 9 (200 9), which stands for two hundred and nine. I recon I'll

"It will do just as well then, ana I win have eleven cents left toward buying some other book. I am glad that they did not let me have one at any of the other places."

The bookseller looked up inquiringly, take that money, if you please." and I told him what I had seen of the lit-1 Well Smith is dead, And when he tie fellow. He was much pleased, and died he wasn't worth a cent. .The lesson when be brought the book along, I saw a of all this is, that one must learn how to do

In the early days a poverty-stricken^ Mexican who "lived in a canon right back of Virginia City, had a stream of wateras large -as a man's wrist trickling from the hillside on his premises. The Ophir Company segregated 100 feet of their mine, and swapped it to him -for the stream of water. The 100 feet proved to be the richest part of the entire mine foiir years after the swap, its market- value (including its mill) was $1,500,000. I was down in it about that time, 600 feet under the ground, and about half of it caved in over my head—and yet, valuable as that property was, I would havei given the entire mine to have bieeit out of that. I do not wish to brag—but I Can be liberal if you take me right.

An individual who owned twenty_ feet in the Opliir mine before its great riches were revealed to men, traded it for a horse, and a very sorry looking brute he was too. A year or so afterward, \vhen Ophir stock went up to $8,000 a foot, this man, who hadn't a cent, used to say he was the most startling example of magnifioence and misery the world had ever seen—because lie was able to Tide a $60,000 horse, and yet had to ride him bareback because he couldn't scare up courage enough to buy a saddle. He Said if forture were to give him another $60,000 horse it would ruin him.

The shiftless people I have been talking about have ,settled scdimentally down to tlicir proper place on the bottom, but the solid mining prosperity of California and Nevada continues—the two together producing some $40,000,000 annually in gold and silver. White Pine is giving birth to the usual nnmber of suddenly-created nabobs, but three years hence nearly eyery one of them will be scratching for wages again. Petroleum bred a few of these butterflies for the eastern market. They don't live long in Nevada. I was worth half a million dollars myself, once, for ten days—and now I am prowling around the lecture field and the field of journalism,instructing the puplic for a subsistence 1 was just as happy as the other butterflies, and no wiser—except that I am sincerely "glad that my supernatural stupidity lost me my great windfall before it had a chance to make a more inspired a?s ofmethanlwas before. I am satislied that I do not know enough to be wealthy and live to survive it. I had two partners in this briliant stroke of fortune. The sensible one is still worth a hundred thousand dollars or so—he never lost his wits —but the other one (and by far the best and worthiest of our trio), can't pay his board.

I was personally acquainted with the several nabobs mentioned in this letter, and so, for old acquaintance sake, I have swapped their occupations and experiences around in such a way as to keep the Pacific public from recognizifig these once notorious men. I have no desire to drag them out of their retirement and make them uncomfortable by exhibiting them without mask or disguise—I merely wish to use their fortunes and misfortunes for a moment for the adornment of this_ newspaper article. xHif

A Subject for a Painter. A paper down in Oxford county, Maine, has this delicious cold weather paragraph:

"Three children of a Mr. Wing, of Franklin Plantation, starved to death one day last week. It seems this family has been a town charge, and a dispute had arisen been [sic] the Selectmen of Franklin and another town, and during the time they were contending over the matter, three small children starved."

We shouldn't wonder. There is more fighting over paupers in New England than over anything else except the status of the negro and woman's rights. While they are the bone of contention, they frequently have no bones to keep body and soul together. The "selectman" who can drive away the most paupers from his town is considered the "smartest" and is sure of a re-election.—<Boston Times>. ———<>———
