KANSAS EDITOR .HARD UP,'

Our friend Martin of the Atchison Cham
pion, has the following pathetic tribute to
" the Almighty Dollar:
Some time last winter We requested one
of our delinquents to bring us one dollar in
wheelbarrow, to enable us to pay off our
workmen; buy paper, ink and fuel pay
boarding; pay rent; and meet our current
expenses. The dollar was Forthcoming, but
wo add with sorrow, is now non est. 1t has
departed, left, deeamped, mizzled, absquat-
ulated. 1t is no more. And we want an
other to take its place, and do the many
wondrous things it did. Therefore we hope
some one Of our deinquents will bring US
another dollar, which will be thankfully
received, and honorably mentioned. He
can bring it in a wheelbarrow or in his
pocket book, as he pleases."
CT Hon. Will Cumback made an excel
lebt speech in Cincinnati on Monday night.
He illustrates the position of Mr.. Geo. E.
Pugh, by the following anecdote:
Mr.. Push will shortly be like an old Hoo
sier lady's calf in high water. She owned
cabin, COW and calf. The circuit
preacher arrived at her house and attempted
to sympathize with her, in view of the trou-
bio the freshet must give her. She said
she "didn's mind the water comm into the
house, but it was mighty hard when the
calf had to stick his head under the water
to suck" Next week Mr.. Pugh would find
the political waters of Ohio so high tina, he
won't be able to get his head deep enough
under the surface to get to the public teat.''
~" The residents of Jefferson avenue,
Detroit, were much amused at the GOODNESS
of party of mourners who followed the
last remains of some departed relative to
the grave the other day. They were seated in
wagon, in tho most cozy and sociable of at
titudes, with a big water melon reposing in
the midst, from which each carved and ate
With gusto peculiar to the occasion, the
rinds, strewing the road on each side OF the
way and marking the course down the ave-
nue. as far as could be seen. s---.

We refer to
Dr. Chas M'Lane's Celebrated

what their name purports, viz:
THE VERMIFUGE,

human system. 1t has also bee,
administered with the most sat1s
factory results to various Animals
subject to Worms.
THE LIVER PILLS,
For thecure of LIVER COMPLAINTS
all B1L1ous DERANcEMENTs, Sick
HEAD-AcHE, &c. In cases of
FEVER AND AGUE,

nine, they almost invariably make
a speedy and permanent cure.

A SHOCKING CAsUALTY.-The Buffalo Republican
Of the 18th says that the recent fatal accident in
at city was caused by the falling of the walls at
the City Elevator, which had been permitted to
stand, not only in q most dangerous situation,
since the late fire, but also in defiance of life,
broken limbs and other accidents, incident to such
carelessness and neglects. At the time Of the fire
there was an immense quantity Of grain in the Ele-
vator about ESQ 600 bushels, as nearly as can be
sacertained, and part Of this being more or less
burned, large crowd Of our citizens were at.
