MECHANICS WANTED. The Memphis
Wing says there is great scarcity of good
mechanics in that city now, consequently
prices have advanced t. pretty high rate.
More particularly is this true of brick ma
sons, as there is pressing demands for at
least thirty or forty, to carry on work al.
ready commenced and under contract. Mas
ter builders are afraid to contract any fur
thcr, for fear they will not be able to get
hands. Brick masons are now getting from
SO to 81 per day, and cannot even be had
at these prices.

that ever since the fever broke out, they
have libOraly supplied the necessary wants
and procured nurses for every one Of its

hundreds OF others who were strangers in
the city, but belonging tothe Order in differ
entsections Of the country, as we'll as many
who have no connection with it. have been
freely and kindly cared for by them. This
has involved them to large pecuniary ex-
tent, and the Bulletin calls upon the Order
throughout the country to come to their re-

THAT FALsEHooD AGAIN.-The Ohio
Stale Democrat acts on the theory that ale
well stuck to, is just as good as the truth
Its opinion is that every thing Is fair and
honestin politics. II brings us back to the
palmy days Of the Ohio StaIesman. when
this same Flood was Chief engineer, and
when It had wider fame rs reckless, un-
scrupulous and Indignantly false sheet than
any other paper in the West. TO show
that age has not improved him, we quote the
following from his paper Of the 10th inst.
at is true that Mr.. Andrews icaS "engag-
eddy the teachers Of Ohio without qnes-
ton as to his politics. ata salary Of fifteen
hundred dollars per annum, but the cloyen
foot OF whiggery soon showed itself. While
thus receiving pay for his services as lec-
turer for common schools, Mr.. Andrews
took the stump for Gen. Scott, and then it
was found that he was whig partizan, will
ing to leave the business he was to perform,
in order to enter the political arena and de-
nounce Gen. Pierce and the Democratic
party, and TO bespatter whiggery and Gen.
Scott with all sorts Of praise"
Now, we affirm that Flood6ns,o this charge
to be false when he penned it. We have
two or three times published the evidence OF
its falsity. The statement Of Mr.. Oviatt,the
prominent Locofoco teacher in Cleveland,
was that this charge was false. We have
frequently called on the enemies ofAn-
drews to prove that he ever neglected sin :
gle meeting Of teachers, or spent an hour
belonging to them in any political move
ment. He did not come to vote at either of the
elections, last year. He never" "eft the bu-
sness he was hired to perform" for mo-
ment. 1t is base falsehood, and we again
stamp it as such.
How long before the STATE Democrat OF
some other Locofoco paper will repeat thi.
infamous falsehood!-O. S. Jour.

DARTS

How MgcH DID he LEAvEl-This ques.
ton is asked concerning the property OF
every rich msn that dies, and Is answered
very happily by Cloots, who was executor
upon the estate Of the late Mr. Snodgrass,
of this ilk. His neighbor, Mr. Nailrod,
was an exceedingly inquisitive man, and it
was his pride that he knew as much, almost
Of the Affairs Of people Of his neighborhood,
as they did themselves. But Mr.. Snodgrass
had never been communicative, all that he
could CLEAN Ofhis circumstances was from
the guesses and speculation Of outsiders
The day after bis neighbor had been put
into the earth, Nailrod visited Gloots, and,
with an expecting face began to question
him. Says be, "Mr. Cloots, II it is not
improper wouldn't wish to ask the ques-
tiou ifit is the least improper nor expect
you to answer twill you tell me how
much friend Snodgrass left!' "CsrtaiDly,"
CIoOts; "don't see the least improperly in
your asking, and am perfectly willing to an
swerit. He left eVery-cent he was worth
10 the world, and didn't take copper with
him." Nailrod felt as small as pump
tack, and went out.
