GO EARLY TO THE POLLS AND WORK.

CONCERNING the miserable little fling
in the Gazstte yesterday morning we have but
few words to say. That sheet, with its us.-
al unf~irness, in calling for help in handling
Kansas produce instead of calling upon good
people generally to come forward with . warm
heart and willing hand. without respect to
country. politics or religion, nut needs mean.
ly single out the Irish and call upon "thcss
lrishmen whose families we're kept from starv-
ing last winter" as though the Irish we're the
only ones vho we're ass,sted and the only ones
whu had rot and who should come for ward to
assist This We branded and 60 do the people
as mean. low-bred and ung-nt emanly y-uu-
worthy Of anything but Thing. A mittiog
that the Irist WE'RE the only ones assisted. the
tcit Of the Gasette was contemp,ible. But
such was not The cas-. All classes Of people
who we're in want were visited and their
wants minis e, ed to " ith Christian kindness
heir teeth by prejudiced po.troen. We are
ssha m. d Of the man who will SO sbass himself
IN the eyes Of the charitable and the honora-
ble people Of this oi,y to thus speak or act ;
and il he 10 not ashamed at his own conduct,
then, indeed. has the last spark Of manhood be
come exiting uiehed in the socket Of bemudd,ed
and beniphted depravity. Kind Heaven com.
nisserate such sediment human nature 10 too
weak to oiecover the use Of it.

weeds. Goosebsrriss came originally from
that cold country, Siberia. and niue: have been
quite dainty to the numerous exiles Who in
times past were compelled to make that
home. They were not introduced into this
country until long after its discovery. and now
can be found in all parts, either wild or culti-
waited. Currents are indigenous, and have
