CAUGHT AT TT.

An old and very sharp broker in Cleve-
land, thinking to lessen the express costs
on package of money, marked it 81, 500
when in reality it contained $4,000. 1t
went at that rate but unfortunately it was
lost, and the broker, not daring to claim
the whole amount, had to accept only
$1,000 from the Express Company and
thus pay $3.50 for his sharpness. The
best of the story is, the company found
the package after they had paid tho bro
ker, and discovered the cheat that had
enriched them cool $3.50. Honesty is
the best policy.

A Great Sight.

The Chicago T'i5une says: "a friend
Of ours states that one day last week he
went up to the top of hill called Mount
Zion, six miles from GAINESVILLE, Rock Co.,
Wis, and counted on the surrounding
plain, 164 horse power reaping machines,
busily cutting down wheat. There were
1000 men, women and boys following
after binding and shocking up the golden
sheaves. 1t was sight worth seeing, to
behold the grain falling and being gather
ed up at the rate of 200 acres per hour. p

Chicago Tribune for 1857.

TINE CHICAGO TRIBUNE is bold, earn
l. est and straightforward Republican paper,
devoted to the cause of Freedom, Progress. and
Reform. Believing that Liberty, and not
Bondage, is the saving principle of the Repub-
lie, it is enlisted into the Republican ranks,
not for campaign, but during the struggle
between Freedom and Slavery. 1t contends
for the principles declared by the unanimous
vote of the Fathers of the Republic in the Con-
gresS of 1877, that Slavery or involuntary SER
vitude shall never exist in territory now free"
and it therefore insists that Kansas shall be free
that Slavery shall be excluded ftom all Ma
tional Territory. and that the influence of the
General Government shall be exercised on the
side of Freedom,

Oh thou who dry st the meurners' tear.
How dark this world would be,
If, when deceived and wounded here,
We could not fly to thee
The friends who in our sunshine live,
When winter comes, are flown;
And he who has but tears to give,
Must weep those tears alone;
But thou wilt heal that broken heart,
Which, like the plants that throw
Their fragrance from the wounded part,
Breathes sweetness out of woe.
