Sowing Seeds In Autumn. Cobbeii,

Western Etiquette.-Our yankee traveller
who saw live hoosier, has again written to
his mother: Western people 60 their death
on etiquette. You can't tell a man here that
he lies, as you can down east, without fight
ing A few days ago, man was telling two
of his neighbors in my hearing, pretty large
story. Says /, " stranger that's whapper!"
Says he, clay there stranger" And in the
twinkling of an eye found myself lying in
the ditch. a perfect quadruped, the worse for
wear and tear. Upon another occasion, say
to man never saw before. as a WOMB
passed, " that isn't specimen of your Wes-
tern women, is it" Says he, "you are
afraid of the fever and ague, stranger, amt
you ~ Every much," says |. "Wel,"
replied he, "tbat lady is my wife, and if you
don't apologize in two minutes, by the homer
of gentleman, swear that these two pistols
(Which he held cooked in his hand } shall cure
you of that disorder entirely-so don't fear
stranger!" So knelt down and politely apo
logized. admire this Western country much;
but curse me if | can stand so much etiquette {:
il always takes me unawares.'' So we learn
from the Chicago Democrat.

The NEUTER GENDER" OF THE Pass
There are few things for which we have less
respect than the so-called "neutral press :"
and we solemnly believe that there are few
things less worthy of respect. A man who
would pretend 10 take an active part in public
affairs, and yet never dare to ayow his prnci-
Piles in an open and manly manner, would in
SANITY be set down by all sensible men, and
Stunned by all honorable men, as trimmer
and time-server; like the chameleon, ever rea-
dy TO reflect the varying hues of popular opin-
ion, and swaying with every breath of popu.
lar prejudice. Why should neutral paper
be saved from the like condemnation Durins
a canvass, we want no better indication of the
rise and fall of popular enthusiasm than the
columns of a so-calIed independent" paper
Its sails are certain to be trimmed to suit the
particular wind that may blow for the time
being, and as certain 10 be shifted TO any 9th
er tack that may seem more conducive to it:
interest An honorable party paper resembles
national soldier, fighting for what he believes
to be right; neutral is like base mer
cenary, owning no allegiance, and fighting
now on one side, now on the other, as ma,
suit his interest or convenience. But NOR
than this. The editors of these so-cale,
"neutral" papers are like other men-hav
their party prejudices and predictions hk
other men. Can they divest themselves o
