cusscd. Items, in fact, has no pretcnsions nor
aspirations politically, and when he is forced by
circumstances to attend to such matters, he
frankly confesses that he can look into but not
through them. We asked him on Saturday
afternoon what the fuss was about, and he re-
Piled that it was because Texas was to receive
ten millions. But" said we, I" do they who

he, with a confused look. "And why so, ltemsr p

Items very good. Now, don't trouble your
head any more about the cause, and just keep n

berry the boys may kick up" Items was soon
off in pursuit of a couple of handsome brass
cannon---beautiful six poundcrs-that Captain
Buckingham and some Of his men were conduct

higher and higher with each successive boom

Kelley has also negotiated at a good
price the Bonds of his Company to an
amount sufficient to pay for the above

pass without comment; but when we
