Editor.— H ave you any fresh buck­wheat flour?

G rocer.—Oh, yes, a nice lot just received from Pennslyvania, price 6 cents a pound.

E .— From Pennsylvania? How is that? D on’t 'I o w a farmers raise buckw heat ?

G .— But little; we get the most ot it and the best from the East.

E .— W hat is the price of cheese?G .—T he best N . Y. Factory is 20

cents; we pay 15 for it.E .— Is it really made and shipped

from N ew Y ork?G .—C an’t tell you th a t; it comes

from Chicago and has that brand; made in Ohio perhaps.

E .— VV’here do you get white beans ?

G. — From C hicago; they are grown in Canada, price three dollars a bushel.

E .—A nd peas?G .— From Canada, also.E . — W ell, surely this canned corn

is put up in Iowa, we can raise corn here at least, and do raise *' oceans ” of it.

G .—C ertainly, there’s plenty of corn rtiiseil in Iow a; but this canned corn comes from Chicago. T here’s a good deal of corn canned in Maine.

E . -B u t these eggs are of Iowa production ?

G.- -Y es, they’re 3 0 cents a dozen.E. — But, my dear sir, corn is only

quoted at 25 cents, to-day, in this market, and the lower grades of wheat at 4 0 cents per bushel, why couldn’t our farmers feed it to chick­ens and raise eggs at a profit?

G,--- riia t is a conundrum that I can’t answ er; perhaps the (jrangers will make it a subject for discussion at their meetings.

politics, and is therefore interesting to most Americans because our people, being themselves the final governing power, must pay large attention to pub­lic afTairs. But 'Washington is on in­teresting city for other reasons also. One may every itay see here not only the great represtmtative men—the President, members of the Cabinet, Senatoie aud llepreseututives iu Congress—but here, and iu the Capitol itself, is the most ex teiiHive libinry iu our laud, acoess to which is free to all during all hours of the day, with the privilege of examining books and papers. We have here an art gallery also, owned by a wealthy private citizen, but which is opened to the public a portion of each week and at all times on the jiavnient of a nominal ad­mission fee. ^his, the “ Corcoran Art Gallery,” ia one of the tineat in America, aud will probably become the very beat of all before many years. We have here, besides, tho Smitliaouion Institute, which may briefly described aa a mammoth academy of sciences, where are great collections of almost all manner of things which men look into and study in the pursuit of kuowedge. The Patent Office also is a plax^ well worth a visit. There are models of about all the patent- right machines tliat have ever been m vent­ed, and a great number of curious historic relics, all arranged iu oue vast room oc­cupying two squares of space.

WEDNE.snAT, Jan. 5. — Senate.—Bills ware in­t ro d u c e d a s fo llow s : By M orrill (V t.), to f u r th e r p ro v id e fo r th e re d e m p tio n o f U n ited S ta te s legal te n d e r n o te s ; b y A llison , to d iv id e th e H ta too f Iow a

About two p. m. yesterday, while Mr. J.G. Abbott, the expressman, was at his bouse in La'wrence, Mass., he iMiard loud screams, evidently coming from the Spicket River, near by. He ran to the bank and saw a lad in the middle of the river, clinging to the edge of tlie tliin icc. Mr. Abbott Seized a plank, ran it out to the boy, who caught one end and clung till no was rescued by Abbott and a man whose name is not known. As soon as the boy was on shore he said another boy was in the river and under the icq. A number of small air-holes were in the ice, which was liardly thicker than window-glass, aud tlirough one -of these Mr. Abbott

I saw a little hand floating on the water, j I The ice was too thin to bear a mnu’s | j weight, and Abbott watched the hand i till it passed two holes. There was but •(

I one more hole, and Abbott, lying flat on I tlie ice, crawled along till ho cojild bare- i I ly reach tho edge of the ice. Presently j the hand came in sight, and was caught, '

j but it required the most careful mauen- j j vering to draw out tho boy. Owing to j the small size of the opening, aud tlie ' position of tho body of the boy, it was

j extremely difficult to extricate him, aud in lira wing Mm out his face was badly cut. When taken from the water the lad’s body was swollen, his face discol­ored, and he was apparently deml. Mr

There ore a great many other places and matters of interest here, but after all our people look to Wasliingtou more for political intelligence than any thing else. Hence, tliis correspondence will be largely devoted to the mention of political affairs, to the sayiugs and do­ings of the Government in its difl’ereut branches. I ought to say right hei'e, however, that I shall have no word of party politics and no bias for or against any man or men because of political opinion. I shall be a perfectly impartial observer of goings-on at the National Capital, with the object of giving your readers a fair and trustworthy account of the more • interesting and important events os they occur.

THE FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.The present Congress, being the first

since 1860 iu which one branch is op­posed to the other in general political doctrine, must needs attract the general attention. Very httle has as yet been done, a fact which docs not subject Cou-f ress to adverse criticism for two reasons.

'irst, because notliing of consequence ever has been done, sinoe the rail­way era came in, before tho holidays. You can’t expect men, in view of a jolly good time in the bosom of their families and plenty of turkey and mince pies, to disrec^d a “ time-honored precedent” for mo sake of the AmericilS eagle. But, secondly, legislation is .a thing which has to be quietly considered and matiu*ed before it is acted on. It thus happens that nine-tenths of the palpable legislation of almost any legislative body is nearly always done, so far as the pub­lic knows, near the close of a session. In reality the heavy and important work has preceded this. So now, though but oue act—a trifling matter of routine— lias been passed, a good deal of prepara­tory work lias been done. Members of the Committees on Elections, Ways and Means, and Appropriations, especialTy, have been getting “ a good ready” for work, and I tliink we shall soon see that much has been set agoing, notwithstand­ing the holiday season.

Still it is yet too early to predict what will be the probable estimate in which the House ought to bo held, as com pared with the average of its predeces­sors. There are many more new mem­bers than usual, aud it always takes at least one session, generally more, for a new member to thoroughly understand the parliamentary ropes. Let us hope that the antagonism of tho two branches of Congress in party affairs may result iu no harm to the country. If the action of the session should be of benefit to the people generally, it would be especially gratifying, because in that case the credit therefor would fairly be divided between tho two parties, and, as a groat statesman usi’d to say, “ everything would be lovely and tho goose hang altitudiunm. ”

The Reason She Didn’t Smoke.Old Mrs. Dutiicker stated to a neigh­

bor the otlier night, while comfortably sitting iu front of the fire, that she had “ allers had a great notion to leain to smoke,” she did so love the “ aromy of tobaokor.” She added: “ I would hev learned long ago, dear knows, but I heerd wunst that a man had his tongue paralyzed by smokin’, and that skeerd mo out. Lord knows I wouldn’t want my tongue paralyzed, fur I couldn’t talk none of it was. ” Hero the old gon- tieinan, who had been silently gazing into the fire, drew a long sigh.

A Missouri member iutroduced a resolution con­demning any contraction of theourrency, and only 54 members voted to suspend the rules upon it—but a little more tlian one fourth of the House. It is believed, especially siuce tliis vote, that if auytiiing shall bo done by this Congress to cliange existing leg­islation on the currency, it will only be that which will aid Secretory Bristow to resume specie payments Ita 1879, accord­ing to the terms of the act of the last Oongress. I do not eay that this xvill oertaiiily be the cose, but the action of Congress thus for clearly indicates this,

In that case, whatever Congress may do in relation thereto may be oonsiderod as of general interest I think it is perfecuy safe to predict tliat the bill ap- propriatiuggl,600,000 for the’oompletion of the Centennial buildings will boou be passed, probably within a week or ten days. 'I^ere is no one who doubts that tho proposed exhibition will be oue of vast magnitude, and will result dirtictly and indirectly in great good to the oountry. There are some \^ o doubt theooustitutional power of Congress to ap- projiriate money for such a purpose. It18 not believed here that these ore numer­ous in Congress. So the bill will surely succeed, and the sucoess of our grand national jubilee may I hi set down accord­ingly among the certainties of the fu­ture. L. M. N.

Athletic Sports.Commenting upon the late wrestling

match that came off in Detroit, the Pree l^ress indulges iu reminiscences of forty years ago, as follows; “ In 1836 there lived in this city a Canadian named An­toine Beaufaut, who hiid located here as a blacksmith, but more particularly bore a reputation as a wrestler, being called tho champion of Canada. He came from Montreal, and it waa said bad thrown every wrestler from CJnebec to tlie Falls. A w utthe same timewa yoimg man named Lewis Ranney arrived in this city as a peddler of essences. Ho was not particularly large, but was strong, wiry aud healthy, and wore, rather modestly, the title of ‘ Wrestling Champion of New England.’ It chanced tliat itanuey aud Beaufaut met at a hotel which stood where the Mansion House now stands, comer of Atwater and Gris­wold streets. The hotel was then kept by a man named Washington Heath, aud through the influence of Mr. Heath a mutch was made up betwe.eu Ranney and Beaufaut, to come off in the barn con­nected xritb tho hotel. The stakes were simply tlie title of champion, and the rules designatexl tbat the contest should be square hold, two falls in three. Im­mediately Beaufaut went into training, Ranney meantime continuing to tramp about the city dispensing the essences brought from Massachusetts. On the day of tlie tnatch Ranney weighed 170 and Beaufaut 185 pounds. Tho bam was crowded, fully two hundred persons being present, and at 2 o’clock in the afternoon the contest began. Twenty minutes later it ended, Ranney having thrown Beaufaut twice in succession.*

“ Mr. Ranney, now over sixty years of age, arrived in this city, having come from his home, a short distance from Hillsdale, Mich., expressly to see the contest between MeLaughhn and Benja­min, and at the close of the exhibitioa at the Opera House last evening he ox- prejssed himself by saying : ‘ Wrestling nas changed somewhat in forty years, principally in the fact that the men work up better, depending more upon science, while muscle is used with greater judg ment. ’ ”

A Berks Coimty (Pa.)man while gun­ning succeeded m killing a Irnwk, and found that his feet were fast in a new strong steel trap, such as are set for rats. Where the trap had been brought from it wtqj not known, but it hod evidently been carried a long distance.

lu 1836 Blr. Peter Gremps o«me Westfor the purpose of seleuting a home, and arrived as far as 8ohoo1*raft, where he met Mr. DeRosier, a Frenchman, who was engaged with the ludiRnH m the fur tiiule. In oonveraation with tliis gentle­man Mr. Gremps remarked, “ I wish I could tiiid a piece of laud ou which was gixid water power.”

“ I can take you to just the place you waut,” said Mr. DeRosier.

'i.he following day, moimted ou tlieir pouics, tliey started ou their journey through a dense forest, their only guide bi>ing an Indian trail, and traveled ou until they reached the banks of Paw Paw River, at tlie place where there was an excellent water-power, and where Mr. Grempe decided to pitch his tent.

Paw Paw River was named by the In ­dians, from a fruit which tliey called paw paw, which grew in abundance along its banks, and the town of Paw Paw took its name from the river.

Mr. Gremps and Mr. Daniels entered a tract of laud for which they paid $1.25 per acre, when Mr. Gremps returned Lome and consulted his wife on her feel­ings almut going West, telling her she *!ould either go with her family, or have her oldest son and nephew go and im­prove the laud. Mrs. Gremps, having all herfamily at home with her, could not agree to a separation with any ot its mtemlxTS, and at once decided that they should all go together. In 1833 Mr. Grempa again came to Paw Paw, accom­panied by Enos Barrett and family, and remained a year making various im­provements, when ho wont to his old Eastern home with the intention of set tling np "his affairs there and bringing his family to their new aboile. In 1834 they bade farewell to their frioncls and neighbors and proceeded on their jour­ney. All the guide they had from De­troit to Paw Paw were the blazed trees, marked with the letter H, for liighwa^, but by keeping these in view they rescu­ed their destination in safety, and found that the three families had increased to five, there having been two marriages while Mr. Gremps was absent.

The family mansion was built on the comer of Main and Grem])S streets, and was taken possession of ou the last day of the year 1835.

One of the young men informed those recently arrived that ou the next day they would receive New Year’s calls; that the callers would be friendly, and come witn the expectation friendship would be continued through the year; they would bring presents, and would expect gifts in return. As he would not tell them to whom they would bo indebted for New Year’s calls in that new and sparsely settled region, they were, especially the younger portion, anxious and eager to ascertain who their visitors would be.

Ou the morning of the first day of the year Mrs. Dodge was alarmed by the sound of guns fired close to the house. Runuing into the front room to ascertain the cause, she was confronted by a party of Indians—men and women—who en­tered smiling and greeting her in their own language with “ A Happy New Year.” The Indians surrounded her, and each insisted ou the privilege of kissing her, as a part of the programme of the day.

Mrs. Dodge vainly *ieclined the honor, and straggled to free herself from her copper-cokwed admirers, but liually suc­ceeded in making her escape and ran into the bock room to seek the protection of her husband, but she found, tb her dismay, that the squaws had snirounded him, and each demanded a kiss, as her duo on this festive oocusion. She then ran out of the house and over to Mr. Gremps’ to warn them of the New Y'ear’s callers, but she was too late; the Indians were there as soon os she was, and the Gremps family, both old and yoimg, liad to submit to the fashionable callers of the new country in which they had taken up their abode. The younger ladies of the family threw their aprons over their faces, and tried to escape, but all in vain; the brave Indians were not to be cheated out of their dues, and the pretty white girls had to pay the penalty of invading new territory.

Just imagine, for a moment, the cou- Htemation there would be among the beaux aud belles of Wabash and Michi­gan avenues if they were visited by such ^ bevy of callers on the first day of the year 1876 —the terror, the dis- gud, the faintings—and yet, without such pioneer men £md women to develop the great West, Michigan and Wabash avenues would probably now have no cxisU’noo.

The only teller of news is the poet. Wlieu ha sings, the world listens with the assurance thiit now a secret of God is to be spoken.

The poet discovers that what men value as substances have a higher value as symbols ; that nature is the immense shadow of man.

The prayers of nations are rhythmic— have iterations and alliterations, like the marriage service tmd burial service in our liturgies.

The writer, like the priest, must be exempted from secular labor. His work needs a frolic health ; he must be at the top of his condition.

Poetry is the perpetual endeavor to express the spirit of the th in g ; to pass the brute body and search the life and reason wliich causes it to exist.

Is not poetry the little chamber in the brain, where is generated the ex-

that their j^dosivo force which, by gentle shocks, sets in actions the intellectual worl^?

A symbol always stimulates the intel­lect ; therefore is poetry ever the best reading. The very design of imagina­tion is to domesticate us in another, in a celestial nature.

The humor of Falstaff, the terror of Macbeth, have each their swarm of fit thoughts and images, as if Shakespeare had kiiomi and reported the men, in­stead of inventing them at his desk.

Rhyme, being a kind of music, shares this advantage with music, that it has a privilege of spijaking truth which all Philistui is ui ible to challenge. Music is the poor man’s Parnassus.

Malthus is the right organ of the Eu- glisli proprietors ; but wo shall never un- derfitand poUtical economy until Bums or Beranger, or sofne poet, shall teach it in songs, and he will not teach Mal- thuseauism.

There is no choice of words for him who clearly sees the truth. Tliat pro­vides him with the best word. If your subject do not appear to you the flower of the world at this moment, you have not rightly chosen it.

The iuipressiouH of the imagination make the great days of life ; the book, the landscape, or the personality which did not stay on the surface of the eye or ear, but penetrated to the inward sense, agitates us and is not for­got ton.

Outside of the nursery the bogin- niug of lit4'ratim! is the prayers of the people, aud they are always hymns, poetic—the mind allowing itself range, and therewith is ever a coiTesponding freedom iu the style, wliich becomes lyrical.

Events or tilings are on,y the fulfill­ment of the prediction of the faculties. Better men saw heavens and earths ; saw noble instruments of noble souls. We sec railroads, mills, aud banks, and wo pity the poverty of these dreaming Buddhists.

The act of imaginatiou is ever attended by pure delight. It infuses a certain volatility and intoxication into all na­ture. I t baa a flute which sets the atoms of onr frame in n dance. Our in­determinate size is a delicious secret, which it reveals to us.

Wo must learn the homely laws of fire and water, we must feed, wash, plant, build. These we the ends of necessity, and first in the order of nature. Pover­ty, frost, famine, disease, debt, are the beadles and guardsmen tliat hold us to common sense.

Nature is the true idealist. When she servos us best; when, ou rare days, she speaks to the imagination, we feel that the huge heaven and earth are but a web drawn around us ; that the light, skies, and mountains are but the painted vicis- situdss of the soul.

Man runs about restless and in pain when his condition or the objects about him do not fully match his thought. Ho wishes to lie rich, to be old, to be young, that things may obey him. In the ocean, in fire, in the sky, in tlie for­est, he finds facto adequate and as large as he.

Thr printers of the Philadelphia In­quirer sot (not sat) up “ The Night Be­fore Christmas ” twenty-seveu years ago and the poem has been kept standing ever sipce^ and was pripted in that paper from tlie driginal types first used in IWH. Clement C. Moore is a favorite poet in the Inquirer oftlceT and thatpap<'rproui- ises to Imnd him down iu this manner to the latest posterity.

Ohio has a hquor law which mokes hquor-sellers and the owners of real estate occupied by saloons responsible for all damages that may result to drunk­ards or their families from the sale of liquor ou such premises. A bill is now jamding in the Ohio Legislature to apply the same principle to gambling houses.

AJEAN for the removal from political inflilBTJUtej - of the system of selecting jurors iu the Federal courts has been devised by Mr. Hopkins, of Pennsyl­vania, and embodied m a bill which lie has in Congress. The bill contemplates that each Judge of the Uuited States Circuit Court shall call to las aid two prominent citizens of different political predilections, and with their advice aud coQUsel shall himself select the panel of jurors, the United States Marshal having nothing to do in the matter.

Senator Morriel, of Vermont, has introduced a bill to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem legal-tenders by the issue or sale of bonds bearing in­terest not exceeding the rate of 4j per cent, iu accordance with the act of July 14, 1870, and thus to carry into effect the Resumption act of Jan. 14, 1875; and further providing that all contracts made after Jan. 1, 1878, shall be pay­able in hard money unless otherwise stip­ulated, and prescribing the coin reserve to bo held by the national banks. *

The Cleveland Herald says that on New Year’s Eve. Mr. A. Sherwin, re­siding at No. 71 Cedar avenue, that city, received a call from two old friends from East Cleveland, the united ages of tlie three amounting to 258 years, the oldest, Mr. Ansel Young, being 88 ; the next, Mr. Elias Cozad, 8 6 ; aud the latter, Mr. Sherwin, 84. The three have been | friends and neighbors for nearly sixty ! years, the former removing to Cleveland m 181.7 ; Mr. Cozad iu 1808, and llr . Sherwin in 1818. They had a very pleas­ant visit recalling old times when Cleve­land was but a small collection of houses, numbering but a few families, most of whom Imvo passed away.

Mr . Reuben W ieeiams, of Fort Wayne, Indiana, says the Chicago Times, is tiie victim, of an accident or a joke. If it was a joke, however, the joker must feel no less astonislieil than Mr. Williams at its results. When h lot of officers were run out of the 'i'reasui-y Depart­ment, for pas.sing bogus claims, a Wash- \ ington dispatch undertook to give the names of their successors, and the list included Williams. How his name was put in it does not seem to be known to anybody. The Secretary knew nothing about it, and could give Morton no in­formation, when he called to ask who rec­ommended Williams. The latter saw the dispatch, however, volunteered his oocejitance, and raised such a fuss a out it, wlien informed he had not been ap­pointed, that, to quiet him, Morton se­cured him a place. Aud so Mr. Williams has had gieatuess thrust upon him.

T he Hon. E. M. Hungerford, Regent of the Nebraska State University and , editor of the Orleans Sentinel, iu Hor- , Inn County, Nebraska, retired on Sun­day night, aiipareritly in as good healtli as usual. Before going to sleep he re­quested the young man who occupied the same room with him to wake him early, as he had important work to do in the morning. During the night the young man was awakened by Mr. Him- gerfonl making some noise, but sup­posed he was dreamtug, and went to sleep again. In the morning Mr. Him- gerford was found dead, with liis arms folded across his breast, as if peapifully sleeping. He must have died witfcout a struggle. Mr. Hungerford was one of tire most promising young men in the State, a thorough scholar, and a gentle­man. I

M emphis furnishes many items of court etiquette. The latest is of a pe- | culiarly striking character. Two law- | yers, respectivmy named Moss aud Bur- ! rows, in the heat of argument over a case pending in the C rim in a l Court, by j degrees descended from eloquence to | billingsgate, and tlie transition from the | latter phase to fisticuffs naturally be- > came easy. While the enraged I limbs of the law wore continuing 1 their rough-and-tumble debate iu a ! (xmfused heap in the sawdust, a third I[larty, the prisoner, apparently oaring ittle as to who won, quietly steps out of

the door, and the cause of justice is miuus a prisoner and a pair of handouffs. Tlie rales of that tribunal shouid be so amended as to require prisoners, on pen­alty of forfeiture of citizenship, to re­main, and, if- necessary, act tlie impar­tial umpire in little contests of this sort.

At the recent session of the Iowa Teacliers’ Association, at Burlington, Prof. L. F. Parker, of the Iowa State University, read a long paper on the “ Abuse of Grant’s Iowa Speech,’’ de- foudiug the President from hostile criti­cism. He says he wrote to the President for his interiiretation of tlie speech, and received the following reply:

W hat 1 said at lie s Moines was hastily noteddown in pencil aud may have expressed mv views impelfectly. I have uut the m aiiusoiipi before me as 1 gave it to the I8ecretary of tlie Society. My idea of what I said is this : “ He- sofve chat the S tate or iiatiou or both oombiued Hhall furuisU to every child growiug up in the laud the means of aotjuiiing a good common school adueation.”

Such Is my idee, and such I intended to have said.

Two Wuuieu FlgliUug a Bear.A oorrespoudent of the New Y’ork

Sun, writiug from Dellii, Vermont, re­lates the following :

Jonas Butler and his wife aud two children live iu a rude cabin in a lonely place in the woods near the head waters of the Delaware, twenty milea above this place. Butler, who had a ooiitraot for peeling bark aud getting out railroad ties, is sometimes away iu the woods for days at a time. He was absent ou Sun­day last. Wild game, always plenty in tliat region, has been muisiially abundant this seaaon. Bears have been munerons and impudent. Only a week ago Butler shot one that wns emptying hm dinner pail. Ou Sunday at about five o’clock in the afternoon, Mrs. Butler apd her daughter Jeimie heard au imnsiud com­motion among the pigs iu the log pen, a few rods distant from the house, and on looking out they saw a large block bear with a fat pig imdor one “ arm,” trying to get out of tlie enclosure. The sty' is built of small logs, the walls beiug about five feet High, with a roof over part of the pen. The mother and daughter de­termined to save the pig it possible. The former seized a heavy mallet or maul, used for driving wedges in logs, and the latter took the axe from the wood pile. Thus equipped, and accompauied by the watch dog, they hurried to the pen, and both jumped into the enclosure, followed bit the dog.

They attacked his bearsliip vigorously, and he turne.d upon them. He first seized the dog, and with one squeeze of his great paws, crushed it to death and threw it oue side. Tlie infuriated bear then sprang upon Miss Jennie, quickly disarmed her, crowded her into a comer, and got the now helpless girl in his em­brace, but the blows from the maul in the hands of Mrs. Butler becau.e so quick and severe that he left the girl without doing her any material injury, and turned upon the mother. The girl had given the bear some fearful wounds with the axe, and from them the blood was flowing copiously. This iutensified his fury, aud ho rushed upon Mrs. Butler with his jaws wide apart, and his great fore paws extended to draw her iuto his embrace. She shouted to her daughter to run to the house and fetch j the rifle aud shoot the bear. 1

The girl leaped from the pen and i made for the house. She returned in the nick of time. The bear had knock­ed her mother’s weapon from her hand, aud pressed her iuto a corner. Mrs. Butler had crouched down on the floor aud placed her hands over her face, seemingly resigned to her fate. Her daugliter pushed the rillc through a chink iu (he log.s, took aim, aud tired. The bear staggered au instant ou his haunches, and fell back dead, shot through the heart.

I t was hoiHS before the two courage ouH women recovered from the reaction that followed their encounter. Tlie girl fainted after firing the fatal shot. Her mother got out of the peu aud dragged her into tlie hous<\ On the uext morn­ing Jennie walked five miles through the woods to tell lier father of the^ndveiiture. The beoi- weighed over 300 pounds.

A Promising Youth.The following, concerning “ a very

nice little boy,” is from the San Frauci.s- co Call: Johnnie Brady, 11 years of ago, was escorted to tlie City Prison ves- terdny afternoon by Officer P. Smith, who locked him up on two charges of misdemeanor—one of assault and battery, aud the other of having made use of vub gar lauguage. Johuiiie was walking thiough the Chinese quarter smoking a cigar of the class known as “ stinka- doros,” and approached a Chinese Ife- male who was engaged in conversation with one of her countrymen. He looked at her for a moment, then brushed away the ashes from the end of his cigar and applied the lighted end to her neck, after which he ran away. A citiz« n named Overend, who witnessed Johnnie’s cruel act, caught him and was reproving him for his conduct, when Johnnie turn­ed on him and called him very obscene names. Mr. Overond then turned Johmiie over to the officer. The little fellow was searched in the prison, and the only property found on him was a j deck of cards, a parlor pistol, a double | harmonifuo, and a paper of fine cut. i

A Perfect Failure.The moat complete failure on record

is that of Warren B. Russell, of Hatfield, whose liabilities are some $2 1 ,000. 8 «>v-eral of his creditors proved their clp-iniH before IW ister Davis, the other day. Josepliua Crafte, aasignee, visited Rus- sell’s on Friday, to inveqtory his proj)- erty, and found only s i^ .en spring ohickeiiB aud an old wagoh. Fearful that the chickens might take to them selves w’iiigs and fly away, he at onciyiold them for 70 cents each ; and being in lor the whole job, he baigaiued Mio 4>ld wagon for five dollars, making a Udal iis- seto of 816.20 to offs. t 821,000. As tlie expenses of settling the estate will b« abont $100 , the remainder, besides the 810.20, will lie assessed upon thos<i cred­itors who were so unfortunate as to prove their claims.—Boston Globe.

BllINEU BY DEFEAT.W b a t K«uualna o f s O nce F ro iu ln o a t

l.«it<ler In th e K a rly H lotory ol Kanaag.[Woohlnston Cor. Ohteogo Iut«r-Oceaii.]

Among the'throng of apeotatora at the opening on Monday night was a alight, poorly-dreesed man, with long yellow hair, combed out iuto a great cloud like Frou Frou’s. He is on object of interest in Washington, aud, more tlian that, an object of infinite pity. ‘ Hia form is thin luid quaint; his step nervous and elastic; his manner abstracted; his hands twitch convulsively when t ^ y ahould be at rest, aud his face, iu repose, is like the picture of Adam in the ‘ ‘ Passion Play at Olierammergan.” His days ore spent in the galleries of the House when Con­gress is in session; and during the recess at the Congressional library and iu the various newspaper ofiiues. FreipieuUy he is seen l^rieiU y the streetwith an abstracted, absent air; and I saw him the other day marking (jueer hieroglyphics on the letter-boxes that hang from the lamp-posts. I followotl him from the Capitol to the Tri'asury, aud ou every letter-box ho w-rote differ­ent ohai'ooters, oroesiug ihe street when­ever he saw a box ou the other side. Ou the lid of one were charaoters Like these:

6—62 K '-0*60.Tills man has had a strange, sail his­

tory. Fifteen years ago he was a mem­ber of Congress from one of the new Weetern States, tlie first lie^Hestmtative the State sent to Congress. He had risen to that position from the printer’s case, having been a com^iositer and an editor, and was one of the founders of the 'lYpographioal Union. He was a member of the first Territorial Legisla­ture in his State; assisted iu framing the State Constitution, and was electeo to a position ou the Supreme Bench, which he declined in order to accept a nomina­tion to Congress. He was a man of rai e oratorical powers, but an idtialist.

So visionary, so chimerical wore his schemes and theories, so unsafe his judgment, that his career in Congress, whihi brilliant from several burats of eloquence, was a failure when judged from a common sense standpoint. He was defeated when a candidate for re- election, and defeat killed him. For the benefit of his health his friends obtained a consnlate abroad for him, but his dis­appointment and the continued miuistry to a diseased imagination imseated his reason, and he has grown from seuti- mentaJism to lunacy.

Several years ago he left his wife and children, imagiuing them to bo the mill­stone tliat hung about his neck, aud has aiuce made his home ivith relatives. Tlirough the influence of Charles Sum­ner and Henry Wilson his wife obtained a position iu oue of the departments, which she now holds. Two years ago he became suspicious of* the motives of an ex-Seuator who had befriended hor, and shot him iu the street, but the wound was only a slight ode, and although in­dicted he has never been tried for the crime. His histery, so sad, yet so strange and romantic, is known ouly to a few, but bis face and peculiar yellow hair are familiar to every one in Wash­ington.100.000 Bushels of Com Raised on

One Farm.Mouday last we had the pleasure of

meeting, for the first time, with Mr. Elios Faylor, oue of the mo.st exleusive farmers aud stoek-raisi'rs of our county. His ftu'm lies just north of the Osage

■ River, some 15 miles from tin's jiiace, ■ aud contains upward of 2,01 0 ucre.s of choice laud iu a high state of cultivatiou; aud, notwithstanding the fact that the grasshoppers destroyed his first plaining ot corn, he raised, inside of 100 days,100.000 bushels of coru. Now, if thereis another man in tlie Southwisst who ciui make sucli a showing we would like to hear from him. Oue hundred thou­sand bushels of corn at 20 cents ptir bushel—the ruling prioe at this time—is worth just $20,00\). is ananswer to the vexed question, “ Does farming pay?” and we think it is quite a satisfaetory answer. Twenty thmisaud dollars is quite a snug litthi sum; and we seriously iloubt if there is another farmer in the Southwest that has done as well this year as our friend Faylor. But liesidea raieiiig thin immense corn crop, Mr. Faylor has been trading quite exU nsively in cattle and hogs, and is now fei'ding 500 head of cattle aud 506 head of hogs.—Nevada (Mo.) Democrat.

CurioiiH rjectrlc rheiiouimoii.A most rera;u"kable event occiuriHl ou

Saturday, when the temperature was at tlie lowest p< int in the city. There was au occasion for giving an alarm 4)f fire by telegraph. The first instrument struck by the policenian failed to ojier- ate, but a secoud attempt at another street comer rousiHl the firemen, and the fire was soon after extinguished. Six hours afbTward the lirat. instrument awoke from its apparent nap, and th«* alarm so long delayetl was soumled, and sent the tmuiicn to tiie same loe ility to find that it was a false alarm.

Tiio Baker’s Gulch Rrvcilh ,h pub­lished every Wothiesday; the MounUiin Daum comes out every Saturday. Wo thus divided the week aud the jiatrouage betwi on us, ami I was content to lime it

«o; but Lapp was not. Ho wanted all the Nubseribers and all the advertme- inents, and he waiiteu also to bo Clerk ol the County Court. The result wm that, instead ot being Damons aud Pytliiu-ses, i he says :

Of I ho player.s, I only remember Capt. l-'nstow, of our stumping mill; Rube Rollins, Mr. Mpp, aud myself. Wo were pla\ lug a nitlier lively game of the ‘2,') cent ante species, with a good deal of bliudiug aud straddling. Lapp, who had u propensity to hold good hands on inopportune occasions, somehow had all the hick in calling me when I was most unwilling to l)c called, boeaiise I had nothing worth showing. On this night 1 speak of, Ijupp’s luck was perfectly iistouuding, and he won from everybody. Mr. Rollins •was in a bail humor, and 1, tilled with the insane desire to get liiiok my earnings. Lapp, I need not say, II, ver lost his compoHure, nor ever --Iroweii more life, more tire, than you will find in an oyster or a cucuiuIhu’. He dealt the cards with his usual clumsy composure, imd looked after the antes and chips with the assiduity of a nurse minding iiifantH by the margin of a duck jioiul. “ Gentlemen,” ho said, “ as I urn winning this evening, I think I can

' atl'ord to stand treat.” So he kieked up Capt. Fristow’s nigger, asleep on the tioor, aud sent him over to tho hotel to

> get us a couple of bottles of wine. When it came, I held a pair of knaves on tlie

i ileal. I drew three cards, and foniid I myself iu possession of another jack and two aeoe—a delightfully full hand. It took me $‘2 to come in, and, as I was

I just then without chips, I borrowed from ; Fnstow, who was slumbering again.’I Mr. Rollins paased out, and Mr. Lapp ; immediately saw the pile on the table I and bet SIO. I saw bis 810, and went ' him 825 becter. “ See here,” said he, Iiu his impertinent way, “ I ’m yonr I friend. I don’t want to win your money —I ’ve got a good Imnd, and, if you’ll

I shall have the money to-morrow after ! breakfast.” “ Rip Slam,” said the mean- ! .spirited cuss, “ let’s talk business. I ' know you have no money to lose, and I you know I know it. Stop, now—yon- I der’s a tile of your paper from the start.I want it. I know you have another file

money—jirice of the 7i!ci'evf/« file—minus ! the cost of a cocktail or so in the moru- ' ing, and then, preliminaries settled, he I allowed me his hand—four queens, by jingo! every one simpering at me, and

I cutting sheep’s eyes at the ace in the I ciiruei'.; Lapp rose. “ Gentlemen,” said he,

“ day is not very fai' off, aud there’s nothing more to drink here. My brother

j Slam goes to press in the morning and 1 has copy to prepare; I will therefore I take my leave and my file of the Rev I >:iH<. ” Aud so, with a diabolii-al grin,I lie ilejiarted. His boy took Capt. Fris- i tow off to bed, aud when the Rr.vviUc foreman came to go to work in the morn-

' ing I rose, escorted Mr. Rollins to my ' liunihle c,)ucli, covered him with the I hn.ffalu rohe, and, after giving the foi'e- ' nuin an order to go down to tlie exjiresa olllce for my file there locked up, and to tix up an eilitorial for the pnper^ I went oil' to breakfast.

-\t tlie breakfast table I found my de- ligl.tful old friend, Col. Debonair, and a iUr. C:iopi)s, an English traveler, to whom the Colonel introduced me. Af- t< r lirenkfaat we adjourned to tiie Col- onoi’s I'ooni, and, by sending for James Addison, Esq., wore able to make up nc of the most charming whist parties

The great lire at Baker's Gulcii had begun !

Two days later, when the fire was ex- tiugni.<lied, but while the ruins still smoked, I first heard the riimoV that it was I, Rupert Siam, who had caused this disastrous and overwhelming conlla- gratiun. I horsewhipped several per­sons, but still the rumor spread, and I

miBsiou fito , and that ia to And out publish TOe an ^ o r of this ooniagratifmwhich has mined this whole oonununity. I gave you uacee and date lor tha axtiole. Prove that you never wrote it.” ** How oau I prove it except by assarting f Toa had one of my tiles ; the other was burnt iu tho tire. I’rodiioe the tile and show mo the article. If you oau do that I will acknowledge that 1 bfiroed Baker’s Gulch.” “ I cannot do that, Mr. Hlam,” for, as you know quite well, my tile of till) Reveille, as well as yours, was burned iu the great conflagration. But, in this volume, I have happily collecteil a mass of ‘ elegant extracts,’ from the eilitorial columns of your paper during the past three .years, luid mean to publish them every one.” “ Let me see that volume, Mr. Ijapp.” I took it, glanced over a page or two of its infamous oonteuts, stood a - moment aetually impalled at such devilish machination as I saw thei'c revealed, aud tlieu said : “ Publish an­other word of these lies at your peril, Mr. Lapp !”

It was charged that I had saturated my lied-room with kerosene aud put a slow match to it. Rube Rollins, whom I left asleep on my bod, when ques­tioned, admitted that he smelt kerosene very strongly at the moment of his es­cape. My foreman told mo that Lapp hail visited the n)om after I left for breakfast, under pretense of searebing for a ahirt-fltnd of his, lost between the pimcheous of the floor. Lapp, then, was there, and ho is not too good to make a bon tire of a whole city in order to accomplish his ends aud destroy his enemy. In the very next issue of his paper he published another double- leaded article, entitled, “ Rupert Siam’s Editorials, continued.” In tliis mur­derous libel he quoted me ns saying : “ Unless the mean scalawags and mud­sills of Baker’s Gulch are willing to come forward at once and give this paper (tho Reveille) the support and patronage it deserves, let them prepare for tears— tears that will scald them to the quick. Let them insure, for tho flre-bug is amongst them, and his operations will be guided by delilierate bauds.”

For this article I challenged Mr. Lapp. He refused to flght, aud came out witli another protended editorial of mine, iu which the respected community of Baker’s Gulch was abominably libeled. For this article I horsewhipped Mr. Lapp.

The next ifesue of the Mountain Daum contained an article iu which, among other atrocities, I was represented os having editorially said : “ Nothing but a vigorous aud persistent Ku-Klux can restore this community to its normal health. The rope, the whip and the torch are needed to save Baker’s Gulch from dying of its owu corruptions.” For this article I kicked Mr. Lapp the entire length of Mam street, and tossed him into Capt. Fristow’s tailrace.

A (lay or two later, by a piece of good fortune, a mountaineer came into town, mill to my office, with two bales of paper strapped over the back of a mule. “ See here, mister,” said he, “ that there Lapp’s u low-down cues ; he’s been tell­ing lies on you. ” I examined his parcel, and, to my surprise and joy, found a complete edition of the Reveille, from tho first number down. “ ’What ivnll you charge me for these ? I must have them at auj' price.” “ Not a nickel, stranger,” said tho true-hearted fellow ; I go iu for fair play, so I wont to see you tackle that there Lapp and give the low cuss particular fits. He deserves it. ”

But tho very next number of the Mountain Dawn contained the follow­ing ; “ We arc credibly informed that Slam, ill order to befog public opinion, has sent across the mouufaius and hud a whole spurious editiou of his incendiary sheet published, with the objectionable articles carefully elimiua'ed. But it won’t work. Brother Slam. We have the evidence against you ! Fellow-citi­zens, read the following from Slam’s issue of Aug. 29, 18— Aud ho went on for half a column with a string of the most iniquitous lies ever invented for man by the father of lies himself.

1 found myself encountering so many cold and dark looks about this time thatI thought it proper to consult my friends, and they advised me to challenge Lapp to meet mo at a town meeting. The meeting was called, aud all the manhood and intellect of Baker’s Gulch assembled there. I appeared with my flies, and Lapp was present with his damnable volume ol calumnious forgery. . The mountaineer was also present in f ho au- ilience, but, though I did not know it then, he was drunk, suborned and sod- deued with the enemy’s own whisky. I made my statement in extenso, and I am convinced that my frank and genuine eloquence made a powerful impression upon tho Baker’s Giilchers. But when I called on that mountaineer to corrobo rate me, he rose, with on abominable drunken leer, and said : “ I t ’s all ad —d lie ! You hired mo to fetch that bundle of papers over from Mushmillionville, an’ I (lone i t!” In the midst of the en­suing murmurs, Lapp rose and cried ouh “ I move yon tho following, fellow- citizens :

’J'lio resbhitiou and preamble were car­ried unanimously.

After tho meeting I went once more to see Lapp, and told him that I would surely kill him unless he retracted all his lies about me. His sole answer was to read me part of an unflnislied editorial of his for the next Mountain Daum, in which it was recommended to double- lock all buildings and appoint a patrol for every street, “ until the convictedflre-bug--------“ Are you determinedto publish that, Lapp?” asked I. He grinned in his offensive way and went on writing. “ If yon don’t defend yonr- sidf I ’ll kill you as you sit,” said I, draw­ing. “ I am defending myself,” ho au-

Married by Telegraph.We have enjoyed the sensation of

marriages at sea, marriages on steam­boats, marriages by proxy, balloon wed­dings, and exposition marriages, but we have not heard, until this afternoon, of a matrimonial alliunoe by lightning, over the wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Mr. O. Boott Jeffreys, an operator of tho Woeteru Union, located at Waynesburg, Pa., and Mrs. Lida Culler, an operator, sta­tioned at Brownsville, having agreed to take each other “ for better or for worse,” they conceived the novel idea of having the ceremony performed by telegraph. Col. C. O. Rowe, tho Su- perinteudeut of tliis divisipu, entered heartily into the arrangement. The parties took a position in tho ojierating room at Brownsville, with three or four witnesses, including tho operator. In the olflee at Waynesburg, Mr. G. A. Story, tho operator, aud his family were stationed, with tlie mother and sister of the groom, four or flve other friends, and Mr. Soott, the offloiatlng clergyman. To prevent interruption. Col. Rowe issued the following order to all the offices iu his division; “ All business must be suspended on tliis circuit five minutes before 2 o’clock p. m. to-day, and kept closed until after the marriage ceremony by telegraph, which takes place at 2 o’clock.’ At the very moment appointed, the tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, announced that the ceremony had been commenced. The operators gathered about, and listened to the in- sti-muent as it told the following story;

The (treat Appletonlan Enterprlae.(1««w to rk Oor. DMfoit VN*

The Appletons advertise their i^w edi tion of the Oyolopedia as an appropriate holiday g ift I t certainly ia a moet valu­able and extraordinary work—undoubt­edly the greatest literary enterprise ever undertaken in ^ United Stat^* A" lit­tle information concerning it may not be out of place. The work has now reached its fonrtaenth volume, and the two re­maining volnmes are in press, and will be issued within a few moutbk From the beginniug of the first volume to the end of the last, tlie matter is almost en­tirely new. To call it a revision and elaboration of the first Cyclopedia, pub­lished fifteen years ago, would hardly be correct, the labor on thia one being al­most as great as the preparation of a oompletely original work of the same kind would be. Since it was taken in hand, three years ago, a vdry large lit­erary force, " comprisiiig the foremost writers and aohulars in the oonntry, and working under the general direofciomi of George Bipley and Cliarles A. Dana, has been steadily employed upon it. Pretty much every page of the old work has been re-written and the amount of new matter added would make a very respect­able cyclopedia of itself. More­over, ^ere is scarcely a line in tlie whole sixteen vommes that has not been “ boiled down,” so to speak, half a dozen times after leaving the hands of the specialist who prepared it, 60 careful are the chief editors to have the work absolutely perfect in every re­spect. Among the writers engaged in the various departments are Robert Car­ter, Dr. A- H. Guernsey, Rossitqr John­son, Judge CJooley, Prof. J. C. Dalton, Prof. Richard A. Proctor, Prof. You- maus. Prof. T. 8. Hunt, Prof. Knee- land, Prof. Drown, Prof. Joy, Count Pourtales, the Rev. Dr. Bernard O’Reil­ly, Mr. H. C. Baird, Dr. Hogeboom, Mr. Bing, Mr. Van Rhyn, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Burlingame and Mr. Heilprin, the latter a scholar of wonderful erudition, who examines every article after it is supposed to have received the finishing touches from half a dozen other hands. I t is needless to say that the cost of the work must be enormous. Each volume stands the pubhshers in 880,000 before a copy is sold. Thus the outlay on the complete work is close on half a million dollars. The expenditure for wood en­gravings alone is about $80,000. All the paper that is used is made expressly for the Cyclopedia, and from type to binding it is special and new in every sense. It certainly far surpasses any other literary enterprise ever attempted in the United States, and is creditable in every way to the respectable house that has invested what might be considered a colossal fortime in it.

Iowa and Wisconsin.The oensns of Iowa, taken the past

summer, shows tlie State to have a pop­ulation of 1,350,544, an increase sinoo 1870 of 156,524. The census of Wiscon­sin taken last June, shows a population of 1,236,729 an increase of 1^,059. It will thus be seen that Wisconsin has gained 25,535 more than Iowa in the past five years, and is now only 113,815 behind that State, although in 1870 she was behind 139,350, A con­tinuance of a proportionate gain for ten years more would place Wiscon sin above Iowa in point of population. This ia certainly a splendid showing for Wisconsin, for it> should be rem em ^red tliat Iowa is one of the most prosperous of tile Western States, and is ofder in State organization tlian Wisconsin.

There is little doubt that Wiaconsiu has shown a like progress in material wealth, and that financially she stands ia the first rank. Her debt is compara­tively small, being but $2,252,000. Only seven S tat^ that are older have less

and five that are younger—in words, twelve States have less while twenty-four have -piuoh As the heaviest expenditilres

for improvements in the way of public iustitutiows have been made, and these will only need to be enlarged from time to time, and as the taxable property is rapidly inorea ing in bulk, the rate of State taxation, wliioh has never been very heavy, should steadily decline, and will do BO if there ia the proper ma,iiage- meilt of State affairs, taxation,coupled with a thrifty condition of affairs, is the best inducement that a Stale can hold out to emigrants.—Mil­waukee Wisconsi7i.

Remarkable Twin Brothers.Residing at Cresoent, Saratoga Coun-

W, are two old men, hale and hearty. They are twin brothers, add yet, strange to say, the birthday of one comes in the present year, that of the other not until next year, one of them coming into the world on New Year’s eve, and the other on New Year’s morning. 'These old men, are in tbeur 74tb year. Their names are G. G. J. Lansing and Vandauberg Lan­sing. One, whom his brother langmiigly terms “ the eldest,” has retired from business with a competency, aud the q th if is s ti^ .e^ i^ed i f the fcfoakPiir- suit Of life, and Cimms to be bdIg to do as good a day’s work as ffewr.

Old MAlds.A quaint and gadlaot writer, some

fifty years ago, said; “ I love an old niald—I use tho single number, aa speaks ing of a singnlarity in humanity. An old maid is not merely an antiquarian, ahe ia on antiqui^; not merely a record of the past, bat tue very peat itself; she has esoaped a great ohwge, and sympa­thizes not in tne ordinary mutations of morality. She inhabits a little eternity of her own. She is miss from the be­ginning of the chapter to tiie end. I do not like to hear them oalled mistress, as is sometimes tiie praotioe, for that looks and sounds like a resignation of despair, a voluntary extinotion of hope. 1 do uot know wiiether marriages ore made in heaven j some people say they are, but I am almost sure old maids are. 'There is something about them which is not of the earth, earthly. They are spectators of tiie world—uot adventur­ers or ramblers, perhaps guardiaus; we say nothing of tattlers. Tliey are evi­dently predestined to be what they are. They owe not the singularity of theif condition to any lack of beauty, wisdom, wit, or good temper; there is no account­ing for it but on the plea of . fatality. I have known many old maids, aud of them all, not one tfiat has not poast'ssed 08 many good and amiable qualities as ninety aud nine of a hundred of my mar­ried acquaintances. Why, thou, are they single f It is their fate. ”

We do n o t in the least feel like blaming Mao- betb for th is expraasloa of d isg u st; Indeed, we are rr tb e r iuolmed to eymiaithize with Dim.

Tliere has been services at the Baptist church every evening this week, Tuesday evening excepted, and the attendance shows considerable Interest manifested. Rev. Mr. Wenm.in is a live and earnest worker in the cause of religion. He will preach there to-morrow.

Tlie donation for the benefit of Elder Trask, at the Baptist church, on Tuesday evening, was not very largely attended, but the receipts of the evening were about fifty dollars, which was mostly in cash, it was very good considering the number present.

Old friends will come around. Why! just think of George Taylor and Bennie Peed dealing out dry goods to the citizens of Cbatswortb and vicinity again, just as it was when we were young. Now if you do not believe this call at Dr. Hunt’s comer and see tbe fine stock of dry goods of B D. Peed & Go., and if your concience will not let you reat, it will be because your pocket book was no slimmer when you came out than when you went in. Dry goods have taken three handsprings down­ward and landed with a crash, at tbe very bottom.

One evening this week, us we sat warm­ing our pedal extremities, we were startled by the sudden appearance of a gentleman from abroad, whose breath was liigbly fla vored wltli garlics, sourkrout, and oilier perfumes. He politely requested of us, in accents wild, the loan of two nickles to procure a niglits lodging. Unfortunately, we were innocent of tlie possession of so much filthy lucre, and feelingly referred him to the man with the “ red dog,” keeper of our Oriental Hotel. We were startled by his contortions of countenance, as in a stentorian voice he exclaimed, “ He ish lousey. We ish no such felshrs.” He be­ing a stranger in our town, we wondered at his knowledge, nnd asked how he be­came possessed of it. He replied, “Every podish knows he isli one lousey hole. Me no Bthop at dent place.”

Q u e r y ,—If our town lougiug house is la a bad condition, it should be cleansed, lierfunied, sheets aired, Ac., Ac., at once, and so put in order that gentlemen from abroad, wisliing to patronize It, through the urgent solicitations of its hospitable landlord, can do so without repugnance. If such is not done, no gentleman once having availed liiniBelf of its hopitaliiy, will return again, but will carry away with him unpleasant recollections of our beauti­ful and tlirivlug town, much to its injury.

Leavitt’s Bell Ringers are coming, and with their sweet toned and curloua “ Swiss Beils,” tbe prince of comic singers, superb balladists and soloists, an excellent orches­tra, and fine ooroet band, can not fall to please all. They intend to visit many towns In this vicinity, of which announoe- ment will be made through this paper, and by handbills. A better opportunity was nev­er offered, to secure a flust-class entertain­ment for the benefit of any society, which may be done by calling upon Uie agent up­on bis arrival in town.

At tbe meeting at Jones’ Hall, last Tues­day evening, in regard to the school tax, nothing definite was done. Considerable gas was wasted and some excitement and amusing Ulk was indulged In. The direc­tors reported that the State Superintend­ent held that they acted legally in levying fb* tnx, and consequently they coaid not see how they oonld abate the tax. About twenty of the leading tax payan have club­bed together to test the legality of the ac­tion of tbe directors, and from appearano- ee now. It is Hkely that a law suit will grow out of the difficulty

Tempest in a Ten-poLMr . E d it o r :I have noticed with surprise, the excite,

ment in our town, street gossip, Indigna­tion, protestation meetings, Ac., in refer ence to the action of our board of school directors In levying a tax of three thousand dollars for tbe purpose of making an addi­tion to our school building, which is i i ^ - equate to accommodate tbe number of plls In attendance. The Board of Trustees knowing the situation, acted in good faith and judgment, seeing, as they do, the ur gent neoesslty for the addition proposed. If, as it Is, tbe school room is now much to limited for tbe present number of attend­ants, and the yearly increase being from thirty-six to forty with our present popula­tion; even now they are obliged to pay $60 rental for a miserable ebell of a build­ing, which Is entirely unfit for tbe purpose, (but the best they oould do In the town,) for the accommodation of pupils in excess of the capacity of our present school building.

If our school building is now to small, what will It be next year? and so on, with the increase that must follow. Therefore, procrastination will only add to our dlffl- culUes, and Is simply poor policy and inju­dicious, if not actually criminal. The fi­nancial oondiUim of our people this year (Judging from the past,) is in as good con ditlon to build now, as it will be next year, or In tbe near future. It is a foregone conclusion that it muat be built sooner or later, and it is aotnally needed now; then why all this tempest about nothing. The assessment is not large; nor is it outolde of legality. Tbe Hon. gentlemen compris- ing the Board, would, I have no doubt, forego any action in tbe premises to pleaee

their constituents, that they cbifid with cousistuucy, honor and duty, ^Tbey saw tlieir duty clearly, as every reasonable Uiluking man most, and they should be honored for not only knowing IhMr duty, but for doing it without fear or favor, in­stead of blamed and crippled in its dis­charge. They having seen tbe necenlty and vital importance of an addition to oar school capacity, should be lauded for promptly oovering the deficiency. Our country’s only hope and anchor for tbe fu­ture, is the education of oar cblldroo, to (111

our place, (as they assuredly most In a few short fleeting years,) and with honor to themselves and their progenitors. Some parties may, with justice, have cause to feel aggrieved at what they may oonskler to be an exorbitant tax upon tbeir poases- sions, and from this trouble, they msy,bow- ever, have redress for wrongs received by lack of judgment, errors, Ac., of the Aa- sessor, but this cuta no figure for an equal­ized taxation, for tbe purpose of enlarging our school building sufficiently to accom­modate our children.

It was a case of assault and battery, and occurred at a school house about two miles north-east of town, between some boys, and the battered boy’s parents were bound to have satisfaction. Tbe cass came up before ’Squire Bleeib, using Mr John Menke’s house as a court room, and John Menke’s best rocking chair, with a large buffalo robe for a covering, as a bench from which to dispense justice. The law­yers all being away to court, Mr. William Jonathan Hall was called upon by the pros­ecution to conduct the case for him; lie be­ing the only person in town well enough acquainted with the intricacies of the law, to confound the Justice. Mr. Hall, after securing the services of Mr. Brigham as constable, started on his mission of instruct­ing the court. Arriving at the aforesaid residence, he found tbe court seated in liis easy chair, supported by a constable of his own choosing. Mr. Brigham, finding him­self out of employment, turned counselor at law, and undertook the defense of the case. Tbe case was called, and Mr. Brig­ham asked for a change of venue. Tlie court asked Mr. Hall what he sliould do, and Mr. Hall told him not to grant it. The court promptly replied to Mr Brig­ham that iie could not bamboozle him in that style and that he would not grunt a change. Mr. Brigham <|uietly accepted the situation, after considering that no one present could make out the necessary af­fidavit, excepting Mr. Hail. The examina­tion commenced, and Mr. Brigham prompt­ly objected to tbe first question, as is tbe duty of every well read lawyer. The court quietly nudged William Jonathan, attorney and counselor at law, and consulted him, in regard to his duty. He decided the best tiling was for Mr. Brigham to sit down. The court acquiesed in Hall’s opinion, and informed tiie learned counsel on the oppo­site side, that he had better take a rest, and he would advise a sitting position for tliat business And Mr. Brigham tied up his throat and assumed tbe position advised by the astute court. The examination tlien proceeded, and Mr. Brigham, to keep up tbe appearance of being a lawyer, prompt­ly objected to every third question. This became rather monotonous to the learned ear of Willie, and ife hinted to bis liouor, the court, that a fine for contempt was m order. This brought Mr. Brigham to terms. The defense was then called, and Mr. Brigham commenced bis questioning, but William Jonatahn decided that tbe ques­tions be was putting, were out of order, and the court consented to the decision and si­lenced Mr. Brigham. Jack remarked some­thing about it being a “crooked” affair, when his Honor, said be would admit of no insinuations, and whispered something about a fine for contempt. Jack rested Willie, sumamed Hall, then made some re­mark derogatory of Mr. Brigham’s voraci­ty, when that gentleman replied in terms that be thought needed a little backing, kDd 4ptule movements likeunto drawing a weapon, when the counsel on the other side, William Jonathan, subsided, tbe court tura- ed pale, and the assembled multitude shrank back in fear from tbe presence of tbe offended limb of tbe law. Order was at last restored, and his honor, with folded arms, placid brow, and solemnity worthy of the position be occupied, listened to tbe masterly effort of the same Wm. J., as be showed forth in streams of eloqaeooe, tbe many injuries that bad befallen his client. When he had performed bis part of the mission, and the listeners bad recovered somewhat from their astonishment, Mr. Brigham opened on his argument. After shifting bis cud of tobacco be began. “ May it please your honor, this is a stupendous question. Its decision by you, this day, vrlll live in Judicial history loog after yoa and I shall have passed from tbe soenes of earthly glory and sablanary vanity; when the tower of Pisa shall be forgotten; when Waterloo and Borodino shall grow dim in tbe distant cycles of receding oenturles; when tbe names of Bogene, Marlborough, and Napoleon are do longer remembered; when the Pyramids of the Ptuunaohe eball onimble into dtwt; when tlM Mppopotamue shall oeaoa to inhabit Ua naUva NUa; even then your deolaion npon thla ease will •till snrvlve in tbe volumes of legal lore, as

fresh, green and leapertshabto as hd antique big Kansas gmssbopper or a Colonido potato bug.” Mr. Hall tben got up and read a little law, for the ’instruotloii of the court, and advised him to fine the offenders twenty-five dollan and costs, to which Mr B. objected, and refered Uis honor to a well known law, to which he could not just then turn to, that three dtfflara was the floe to be administered. His honor, after due deliberation, and a look at Mr Brigham, that would have annihilated anyone but a lawyer of an extensive experience, said: “This young man has been studying law two years, and don’t you think be knows? you don’t come none of your games over me I fine the young men twenty five dol lara apiece and costs. Now school Is out,” and with a majestic wave of the band lie ordered them from bis presence; and, with tbe impndenoe of an oider lawyer. Jack wanted to know what they were going to do with the boys. “Ohf” be said, “ I sup pose they will pay their fine.” Jack said “he guessed not,” when his honor threaten-

i ed to fine him for contempt, but Jack in- I formed him that “school was oot," and im­pudently told him “ that be oould not bam­boozle him,” and thus ended Jack’s first trial. May ye live long and prosper. Jack.
