Before the People. q.


There are some politicians 10, and oct oil
office whose names some how or other, are
continually in the newspapers. The weak
est Cabinet officer, or Senator, and The least
distinguished member of a State delegation
in Congress, are sure 10 be the subject oil the
most newspaper pu6s. The 'Slingtown Trum-
pet and the "Boobiesburg Herald" are sure
10 have the Hon. Mr.. Suigsleirilz, continual
ly before the people. Some of the uninitialed
may possibly think that merit gets the hon.
orable gentlemen so prominently befoTe-the
public but those who understand the ropes,
know very we'll how it is all brought about
These men are so mediocre, that they attract
attention on account Of their intellectual
smallness, and they are therefore compelled
10 give themselves a fictitious importance.
SO as 10 keep from being dwindled into abso.

would be enluired after if they were to keep
out of the papers, and they have cunning
enough 10 know that i. would never do TO be
looked al, al home. Their plan is 10 suggesl
10 a quondam, loady friend, 10 see the editor
of the Trumpet or Herald and give Them a
blast. This is done by the editor with an eye
TO The future az a matter Of cou rse, and very
soon the Hon. Mr.. SniggIefnlz is copied in.

A Case for Remedy.


Our papers were all mailed last weel
upcn Wednesday evening at The %Bloomsbure
office, and yet on Saturday noon they hae
not yet reached The Cattawissa office which
is only about four miles from this town. By
this means the people at Mainville, Beaver
Valley, Catiawissa Valley, R~Oaringcreek
Wright, ami perhaps some other Offices will
not receive their newspapers which were
published on the l4lh inst, until next Satur.
day the 23I as they receive only a Saturday
mail. And this while they live almost with
in sight of The town from which they cannot
hear in less than 9 days! MIR. Rain, the
postmaster a, Caltawissa informs us thatthese
delays are common, and we think they must
be 81 from the complaints we hear. Messrs.
Unangst and RAIN are not in fault, for they are
always attentive in their office. But several
gentlemen at Cattawissa inform us that the
mails reach their place very irregularly, and
we have in this instance beer a personal wit
ness TO The default of the contractor for con-
veying the mails. The attention of the De-
par;ment has been called 10 The matter, and
we shall therefore look for a remedy.

Are House Plants Injurious TO Health

During daylight healthy plants, by means
of their leaves, absorb carbonic acid gas
from The air, and give out oxygen gas. This
tends 10 purify the atmosphere. But by
night, and when The plants is in a sicSly
slate, also when the leaves are about TO fall,
The reverse of this takes place, and oxygen
is absorbed, and carbonic acid given out, the
same as by animals, though in a very limi.
ted quantity.
Partly owing 10 this, but perhaps chiefly
10 the concentration of the odors given out
in an apartment, may be explained the fact,
that plants have an injurious effect upon
persons who sleep in the room where they
are kept.
What fve-lettered, monosyllabic, plural
word is that which, if Inc plural sign be adj
ded, becomes a dissyllable and singular, ard
lis meaning almost directly reversed
Mau,ning Costumes.--The ordinary color
for mourning in America and Europe is
black but in China it is white, in Turkey
violet, and in Ethiopia browne
Origin Of Banks.--The name bank is de-
rived from banco, a bench, which was erec-
ted in The market-place for the exchange Of
money. The first bank was established in
Italy, by The Lombard Jews, in sos. Some
OF these Jews settled in London, and the
street where they resided is called Lombard
Street.
Blue Stockihg.-This was originally the
name OF a literary society. 1t originated in
the fact Of Benjamin Stillingfleet, the disiin-
pushed naturalist and writer, who took a
most active part in establishing literary soci-
cites, always wearing blue worsied stock
ings. The beautiful and talented Mrs. Jeru-
iEeham is SAID 10 have worn blue stockings
al the conUersaSione of Lady Montague; and
from this peculiar ity the term has since been
applied 10 literary ladies'.

Mons VIOLENCE IN KANsAs.-Pe0pie Dri4
zen from their Homes-We learn that mob
violence Is still the order of the day ia the
vicinity of Douglas. On the forenoon Of
Monday last a gang of twenty five or thirty
land pirates, who represent the pro. slavery
interests of Missouri in Kansas, visited the
house of Mr.. Hancock. in Lecomple, and Of.
dered him to leave the premises with his
goods in five minutes. Mr.. H. refused TO
comply with the demand, when the r%ufians,
led on by Mr.. Jones, of Weslpott, marched
to The front Of The house, and Ordered the
company 10 fire upon him. A barley ensu-
ed, after which he deserted the habitation
erected with much labor, and allowed his
goods 10 be taken out upon the open prairie.
1t is said that a man by the name of Sim
mons pretenped 10 own the Calm.
After leaving Hancock's Calm they visi-
ted The dwelling of MIR, oakly, and re.enac-
ted the scenes just narrated, with The addl-
ton that the torch was applied and the tens-
meni burned. Mr.. Oaklsy's claim was
purchased from a Southerner a few months
since for $3.50, but the new occupant was in
favor of making Kansas a fee State, hence
the outrage.-Kansas Herald, Lane2.
