In this mammon-worshiping Age, it is
rare to find man place his usefulness to
the public, before his interest. During a
late visit to the Getty of Spindles," we
were presented by professional friend to
to the celebrated Chemist, DR.. j. G. AVER,
whose name is now perhaps, more familiar
than any other, at the bedside ofsickness,
in this country. Knowing the unprece-
dented popularity ofhis medicines. and the
immense sale of them, we had expected
to find him millionare, and rolling In
wealth. But no, we found him inhis lab
oratory, busy with his laborers, among
his crucbles, splembics, and retorts-giv-
ing his best personal care to the compounds
on the virtues of which, thousands hang
for health. We learned, that notwith-
standing his vast business, and its prompt
rsturns in cash, the Doctor is not rich.-
The reason assigned is, that the material
is costly, and he persists in making his
preparations SO expensively, that the nett
profit is small.-[American Farmer Phil

DEMOCRATIC FINANcIERING IN WlsCoN-
sIN.--The State of Wisconsin has Tor did
have) an immense school fund, arising
from the sales of public lands, which the
democracy have shamelully plundcred for
party and private purposes. This was
particularly the case under the Barstow
administration, and the exposures which
have been made of Democratic abuse Of
trust in connection with the shool fund,
which has always been in democratic
keeping. have doubtless contributed large
ly TO secure the success of the Republican
party this year. Hundreds of thousands
Of dollars, it is alleged, of this fund. have
been embezzled in various ways by the
democratic officials, One Of these WAYS
was exposed week or two since by the
publication Of the following letter from a
''promnent democrat" whose name is
withheld, which was addressed 10 the
democratic Secretary Of State, and by
some means, though marked ".privale," "
got into the Milwaukee Sentinel;
(Private and Confdential)
Col. D. w. JoNEs-Dear Sir: The
bearer, Mr.. -, is an old resident
of Milwaukee sound and reliable Dem.
ocrat and friend of yours He wants to
ge. loan from the School Fund, if there
IS money on hand. He is large con-
tractor on the streets, and has in his EN-.
ploy about one hundred men; and if you
can let him have the money it will be a
good Job, and al the same time relieve
me from the necessity of paying him for
work which he has done for me, and
which, in these pinching times, am un'
able to pay without an extension.
The Democratic ticket in this comfy,
with the exception Of Cross. will have
about 5000 majority. Randall will no,
