Wife and Wolf.

In France the Society for the Protection
of Animals does not enjoy that popular re-
spect which it deserves, the small wits of the
capitol indulging in an endless variety OF
Jokes at its expense. The last joke is to this
effect:
A countryman. armed with a cub, presen'
sents himself before the president OF the socie
ty and claims the first prize. He is asked to
describe the act of humanity on which he
founds his claims
81 have saved the life Of wof," replied
the countryman. Il might have easily have
killed him with this bludgeon," and he swung
bis weapon in the air to the immense dis
comfort of the president
"But where was the wolff" inquired the
latter, "what had he done to you9"
He had just devourcd my wife," was the
quick reply.
The President reflects an instant and then
says
"My friend, am Of the opinion that you
have been sufficiently rewarded"

Of the country. Already the sutler-that curse
of the camp-is following the paymasters as the
shark follows the ship. buying up for four dollars
every five dollars Of the wages of the soldier
paid to them in Treasury notes. have no de-
sire to hasten the movement of the army, or to
critcise the conduct of it's leaders, but in view
OF the stupendous drafts upon the Treasury.
must say that I long for the day of striking the
blow which will bring this rebellion to an end.
Sixty days longer of this state OF things Will
bring about result one way or another. 1t is
impossible that the Treasury Of the United States
can meet, and continue to meet, this state OF
things sixty days longer and an ignominOus
peace must be submitted to unless we see to it
that the credit of the country is sustained, and
sustained too, by the conviction going forth
from this hall to the country, that we will treat
as traitors, not only those who are bold enough
to meet us face to face in the field OF strife. but
oil those also who clandestinely and stealthly
suck tee life blood from us in the mighty strug-
gle. Whatever measures may emanate from the
Committee on Ways and Means to meet and re-
trleve this state of things. they will but fall
like dead pail upon the public unless they
give this assurance that these extraordinary
and extreme measures to resuscitate, revive and
replenish the treasury are not made to fill fur
ther and longer the already gorged pockets of
the public plunderers How, then, are we to
contribute in this matter to revive public conf
dence in our public men here, if it be not when
these appropriations come up that we probe
them that we ascertain whether there be any
thing in them that at this moment can be spared?
Our pressing duty now is to protect and save the
Treasury from further wholesale or other system
of plundering. In conclusion, he urged against
paying for printing the Treasury notes, on the
ground that the contract was improperly obtained
1t should be borne in mind that all of the
enormties stated in the foregoing, have arisen
not through the civil officers of our government
but in the several bureaus Of the War Depart
ment, each of which is presided over by u regu
lar army officer. 1t is the duty of Congress T.
thoroughly overhaul these transactions, as wei
as the laws and regulations for the control o
such officers, and we believe it ill be done an,
done thoroughly bill is now before Congress
to punish all such crimes with fine, imprison
ment or death. We care not now sew ere the pen
alties they attach, the whole system of army
frauds must be broken up

The TREASON SMELLING SECRETARY OF
SrArE.-Ex governor Morehead, of Kentucky
was lately released from confinement in For:
Lafayette and protests that he is wholly ig-
norant of the reasons of his imprisonment by
order Of the government. There were not
any specific charges against him. he solemn
ly AYERS that he is entirely innocent of all
degrees of treason. The prisoners OF Fort
Layfayette are sent there upon the warrant
of Seward, the Secretary of State, and there
they remain without trial or chances of vim
dication to be liberated at his discretion only.
The Cincinnati Gazette, republican journal
of great influence, says:
"There has been about enough Of this
kind of work What a great blessing is
constitutional freedom. 1t authorizes the
the taking of any man, at any moment from
under his 'own vine and fig tree,' to be incar'
cerated in dungeon without trial or the
trouble of a writ. 1t is SO cheap"

The Abolition Policy.

The Chicago Times, the ablest organ of
the Douglas Democracy of the West, in
giving a sketch Of the Abolition policy Of
the past year. thus coudenses in few lines
its points. Papers protesting to follow in its
footsteps in California, or rather processing
to belong to the same party, dare not initiate
its example and condemn the policy of the
Abolitionists. Here they excuse the fanati.
cisn and apologize for or conceal the rascal
ity Of the leeches who are sucking the life's
blood of the country. Here they are the
allies not the opponents of Abolitionists.
The Times says:
ut is moving heaven and earth to force
the people to believe that the Constitution
which alone makes the United States nation
is of no possible consequence in the war
because it conflicts with the emancipation
of the slaves. Tax the farmer and manu-
facturers the householder and the laborer-
heap millions per day upon the Government
expenses thousands of millions of
debt upon the public treasury, to be bur
den upon the people forever-make the South
worthless, even when it is conquered, for the
purpose of production, or of repaying the
cost of the war-shed Northern blood
like water-blot out the States-puIl down
the Federal institutions, and put up a despot-
ism over white men in their stead-do any
or all of these things, and we viii submit
to them if you will only free the negroes
This is what the Abolitionists now practical
y say to the world. They neither regard
the sanctity Of the Constitution, nor the
future prosperity of the country. They pre-
fer desert inhabited by half starved mon
grel population, in which black and white
shall be on equality, to restoration of the
Union, with its blessings of wealth and free
dom to the white race"

NUMBER 80.
Who wants to be an Editor.

Some people think it is big thing to be
an Editor. Well perhaps it s-but we don't
see it. A fellow is deadheaded into circuses,
and rides on a few railroads free-but that
one fact destroys nearly all the pleasure.
When we had to scrimp for week to get
dollar to buy seat at the opera, the de-
light experienced was proportioned to the
sacrifice of money il cost us. When YOU
can ride on railroad for nothing you don't
care a snap about going at all; aud so on.
An editor occasionally gets presents, but
they are nine times out of ten, articles that
are of no sort of use to him. In his paper
he may say forty good things unapplauded,
but is he happens through some carelessness
or mistake TO get off an obnoxious paragraph,
he catches it from the entire community. If
he omits anything he is lazy. If he speaks
of things as they are, people are mad. If he
CLOSES over it and smooths down the rough
points, he is bribed. If he calls things by
their proper names, he is unfit for the posi-
ton of editor If he does not furnish his
readers with Jokes he is mullet. II he
does, he is a rattlehead, wanting stability
If he condemns wrong, he is good fellow,
but lacks discretion. If he lets wrong and
injuries 90 unmentoned he is a coward If
he upholds public man, he does so to graf
ify spite-is the tool Of a clique, or belongs
to the out If he indulges in personalities
he is backyuard-if he does not, his paper
is nspid. job was put through pretty
good course of sprouts, according to Holy
Writ, but there is no record of his being
obliged to serve as an editor of a weekly pa,
per. That would doubtless have been more
than even his patience could have withstood
lie probably in such n case would have Ia
ken the advice Of his friends-cussed and
died.-Dubuque Times.

A DOLLAR OR TWO.

As onward we pass and crowd our way through
This troublesome world as other folks do,
May we still on our journey be able to view
The benevolent face of u dollar or two.
No friend is so true as a dollar or two;
Through the country or town as we pass up or
down,
No prospect so good as u dollar or two,
A dollar or two, a dollar or two;
1t has magical power to help q man through;
The Pagan, the Christian, the Gentle the Jew,
All bow in reverence to q dollar or two.
Be sure and take care of your money my boys,
Be sure and take care of your money,
For you will find that your friends will be dis
tnnt and few
If you ever run short of dollar or two.
Would you rid yourself of gay bachelor crew,
And the hand Of beautiful lady pursue,
You must always be ready the handsome to do,
Although it may cost you dollar or two;
Affection is gained with dollar or two;
The best aid you can get in teasing your pet
Is the eloquent clink of dollar or two,
A dollar or two, IL dollar or two;
There's nothing goo to help man through,
In sorrow or joys, the girls or the boys,
No friend is so true as Il dollar or two.
Chorus.
It's got 50 the ladies when they wish for beau,
Always look for the man that makes the best show,
lie must swing big cane. and support big chain;
They both perhaps cost him dollar or two.
For an excellent thing is dollar or two,
No friend is 20 true as a dollar or two,
Through country or town as we pass up or down,
No prospect SO good as a dollar o" two,
A dollar or two u dollar or two
It's for that now I'm singing to you
And when to this village bid an adieu
I'm in hopes to be blessed with a dollar or two.
Chorus.

Practical Joking.

was sitting with Brother d., in his office

took the team, and when came back and
paid him one dollar and a half, he said he
wanted another dollar and half for coming
back. and he made me pay it,"
D. gave him some legal advice, which
the client Immediately acted upon as follows:
He went to the staber and said
'How much will you charge me for

The staber replied "fve dollars

Winters Passing.

Winters passing, slowly passing,
With its hopes and fears away,
With its joys and with its sorrows.
Who alas! would WOO its stay?
February winds are wailing.
Round our hearts and on the plain,
With dirge for broken friendship,
And sigh for hearts estranged.
With their cold and starry breezes,
Penetrating every pore,
Piercing through the widows cottage,
llowling around the rich mans door,
Winters passing, slowly passing,
With its snow and ice away,
And its wild and shvcring breezes,
Who, alas! would WOO its stay?

Greek army and was expelled with infamy.
He was then sentenced to the penitentiary

A SECRET ORDER.-The fellow, CASTOR

attempting to establish Lodges of apolitical

He could not make the full blooded or

endorse it, and consequently they were shy
The Democrats, both Doug las and Brecken

Information Wanted"

How often the above heading appears to
paragraphs in California newspapers, enquir-
ing for some friend, son, brother, husband
or father, who years ago perhaps, left home
and loving friends in search of gold. For
awhils punctual correspondence was kept up
with his friends far away across the blue
ocean or wide desert plains Suddenly that
correspondence ceases, and the anxiously
grow weary waiting, and eyes grow dim
with watching; nervously the ear listens to
catch the familiar sound of the returning
footsteps of the wanderer-but all to no pur
pose. Letters of inquiry are forwarded to
the place from whence the absent one was
last heard, to learn his whereabouts; the let.
ter is published under the head of "Informa-
ton Wanted" Sometimes the information
desired is received but too often the paragraph
is read, passed over and forgotten, as thing
of so frequent occur nee that none give it
but passing notice, and hearts are still left
to mourn, and watchers still vainly wait for
tidings of the lost one.
Where are the thousands who thus dsap
pear? Some have gone to new fields of re-
ported wealth in search of fortunes, and have
lain down among strangers in strange land.
Some have fell 10y the hand of violence and
an obscure mound mark their last resting
place. Some have fallen prey to disease,
and we have read the account of the s,ran-
gers burial-a grave over which no friend
ly tear was shed, and in the business stir Of
life, it too, was soon forgotten. How often
is recorded in the daily and weekly journals
'boLy found!" coroners inquest, and hasty
deposit of a once manly form, in the EN-
brace of its mother earth. The bones OF
many n lost one lie beached on hill and
plain in ravne and mountain gorge. From
Fraser river to Lower California and Mexico
they are scattered, never to be gathered to
gether until the trump of the Archangel
shall wake their sleeping dust.
"lnformation Wanted" Go ask the winds
where the loved ones are lying.
Conformation Wanted.' Go ask the floods
that have swallowed them up, or the hills
and valleys that gave them a last resting
place.
"lnfornation Wanted!" Go search the
sections records, and hunt his grave in the
Pot,er's field lie sought for gold and found

spirations of bright hopes, and despair
gnawed his heart'strings asunder. TO win
