A noble saying is recorded of member of
the British House Of Commons, who, by his
industry and perseverance, had won his wav to
that high position. A proud scion of aristo.
cracy one day taunted him with his humble

A gentleman from Bolivar. Tennessee, last
week saw nondescript sort OF article floating
down the Mississippi, near his plantation. It
resembled miniature Noah's ark with the hull
knocked off. Curiosity led him to board it. when
he was astonished TO find himself in the store of
a friend fifty miles up the river. The contents
were not greatly injured. He tied the store to
the shore, and started off to let his friend know
where he might find his place of business.

June and July are good months for removing
large limbs, from fruit and shade trees. The sap
is now in right condition to form new wood.

The foliage also serves as shade to prevent
sun checks i'll the wounded parts, although where
large branches are taken from fruit trees, it is

one hand. Third stout pruning knife; and
each of them sharp. Then step-ladder essi-

course, we give no directions as to what particular
branches are to be cut off as the tree or>shrub is
not before us( presuming also that the pruner
understands his business.
As to the mode or manner Of doing the work,
let every branch be cut close tu the body of the
tree or main branch from which it is taken, and
the bark pared close and smooth, for the wound

The Macomb County Bank,

Is dead, beyond redemption, we hope,
as it ought to be. 1t has played its Pc
culiar and chartered "sixty day" re-
sumption and suspensions too long. 1t
should never be allowed existence
again. Fourteen years it has trifed
with the public. During this period it
has changed hands many times, each
time subjecting the public to great
loss. The democratic character of
its charter and practices should not
longer be tolerated. In the hands of
its present owners it is more a swindle
than ever, and was probably bought by
them for that purpose. Its charter is
said to be valuable-valuablef for swind-
ling purposes, we suppose is meant, for
it has never been of any public value.
It's periodical sixty day suspensions,
and the entire absence Of any security
to the bill-holder, are sufficient for its
utter and permanent Reputation by the
public. The swindling management OF
its present owners should be put to the
severest legal test. The substitution OF

abstraction of all of its "bills receiva.
ble," and the successful taking off oi
over $4,000 of its assets, should be
promptly legally investigated, and the
perpetrators be made to suffer the pen
atty of the law. We trust the Attor-
ney- General has taken steps, or, if he
has not already done so, that he will
Immediately take steps, to prosecute
the matter thoroughly and punish the
guilty parties. The people of Michi-
gan have suffered severely from bank
swindling, and they will not hold any
public officer guiltless who fails to do
his whole duty in prosecuting a fraud
as palpable as that perpetrated by the
Macomb County Bank operators. We
are glad to learn that the Board of
Trade of this city propose to take
action on the subject at their meeting
on Monday next. In the meantime,
we caution the public against ever
again having anything to do with Ma
comb County Bank bills.-Det. Iri6.

ssI talk with my Fingers"

At the recent Press Convention, held in Anr
Arbor, one of the editors being called upon for 9
speech, quantity excused his lack of oratorica
power by the above pithy saying:
"I talk with my fingers" quoth one of the men
Whose hand weilds the press, whose tongue is the
pen.
al talk with my fingers twas an eloquent word
Whose echo the heart of humanity heard.
Who talks with his tongue, prints his thoughts on
breath,
Which is vocal moment then bushes in death:
How true or how eloquent, how witty or brave,
The air is its winding sheet, the is its grave.
Who talks with his pen, speaks a visible word,
And his deathess voice, through the ages is heard
His tones undecayed Ger the continents reach,
And an auditive world may list to his speech
He needs no proud forum, no high public halls,
No echoing isles nor yet comprising walls;
In the homes of the people, or simple or sage,
He builds his fit forum, the fair printed page.
To the fireside's quiet, to the worlds embroil,
To the haunts of pleasure, to the field of toll,
To to the artisans bench, to the halls of state,
To cheer on the toiler, to urge the debate.
To the parlor of PRIDE to the palace of power,
To the maiden's chamber, to the poets bower,
To the regal houses where monarchs dwell,
To the beggar's hovel, to the convict's cell.
To the schools of childhood, to the haunts of age
The printer still sendeth his eloquent page:
No distance can silence, no sepulchre urn
Its imprinted thought and its words that burn.
The spoken word dies; but he hath good need
To speak well and wisely, whose word is deed:
Let him ponder full long ere he moves that wierd
Press. -
Whose issues through ages may wither or bless.
The types are but key boards-the vibrating string
Along the far ages doth echOing ring.
Then thoughtfully, prayerfully, strike the higf
strain;
Be God and humanity still the refrain.
The Cass County Republican. [volume] (Dowagiac, Mich.) 18??-1880, 1858-06-24
Fizzlers, Fizzling, Fizzled.

The present democratic /" Admin
istration is complete Fizzle, politi-
cally and personally. Mr.. Buchanan
enjoyed the reputation of having some
executive ability. In less than a year
he completely fzzled that idea out of
the public mind.
Gen. Cass, proverbial fizzle, in the
conduct of the Kansas and foreign di-
plomacy of the nation, has fizzled him
self out of what little public esteem he
retained when he entered upon the du-
ties of Secretary of State.
Secretary Cobb has fzzled the Ma
tional treasury of sls,o0O,0OO of sur
plus on hand when he resumed office !:
he has fzzled away $20,000,0oO of
treasury notes besides, now asks for
another loan of SIS, 100000 to fizzle
upon pet schemes and party favorites,
and has so managed so as to fizzle
away over $135, 600, 900 in two years, or
about twice as much as the last two
years of Mr.. Fillmore's Administration.
Secretary Floyd, who went into the
war Office with moderate integrity, has
fizzled that all away, in the Willet's
Point, Smelling, and similar official
speculations, besides having fizzled
away in two years, some 81, 200, 900
more than even his Pierce predecessors
did in the same time.
Secretary Toucey, too, who was
supposed to be proof against contami-
mating influences, has fzzled into,
or been fizzled by, the fizzling influences
around him, to the tune of 800, 900 in
single transaction.
Secretaries Brown and Thomson and
Attorney Black have also fzzled out
what little reputation they took into
their departments, in the swindles per-
petrated upon the treasury in the Land,
Indian and Legal departments Of the
Administration.
Then, to divert public attention from
Administration aggressions upon Kan
sas, Buchanan attempted Utah War,
sent our army into winter quarters in
Rocky Mountains, at cost of some
S25, ,00O,000 and exhausted vast
amount of patriotism to get up and
keep up that War, but Quixotically
fzzled out from an absolute want of
any cause of action"
Fizzling in Utah having exhausted
the pretence for further extraordinary
expenditure, we are next invited to
"prepare for war with England" Piles
upon piles of patriotic sound and fury
is exhausted, in Congress and out of it,
gun-boats, war steamers and fortifca-
tions are demanded, when, 10 just as
Congress had been wrought up to the
war pitch, the administration fzzled ont
again, upon discovering, as in the case
of the Utah fizzle, there existed "no
cause of action %
We might go on with an enumeration
of other fizzles, as exhaustless as dis
gusting and tlishonorable, but it is un-
necessary. From the beginning to the
end, in little things and in great things,
in everything, the democratic" ad-
ministration of Mr.. Buchanan has been
fizzle, fzzle, fzzle. 1t has fzzled the
government bankrupt, fzzled the "dem-
ocratic" party out of what little princi-
pie and character it had left on the
retirement of Pierce. 1t began a fizzle
and will end fizzle.-Det Tribune.
