A short tima ago, gentleman-a
resident of Mad River Township
came to Uurbana one eveniLg in order
to take the night train (through
freight accommodation for Spring
field. lie did so.
Finding the car full, he remained
standing a short time, when becom-
ing tired, he asked lady the priv
ilege of occupying part Of the seat
belonging to her. Now, it must be
known to all night travellers that this
train-or this car rather--is dark
That is; it is Illuminated by dim
light only, which doesn't "shed 1t lus-
tire thereof very extensively Well,
a conversation commenced between
the parties mentioned, and it turned to
almost everything-weather, fashions,
politics, &c. and finally to personal
and particular affairs. The gentle
man informed the lady that he was a
widower; she, in return, remarked (she
was dressed in black that she was a
widow. The widower became interest
ed in the widow; the clone woman"
seemed pleased with the widower.--
Not needing the immortal advice of
the elder Weller to his dutifsl son:-
"Samivil, beware of vidders he be-
came more affectfonate in his remarks;
and as the train left Hunts Station,
he asked as o favor, as they were
about to part, that she would bestow
kiss. She, at FIRST hesitated, but
afterwards consented. He gallantly
asked her 20 lift her vail; she was tim
id, and modestly begged him to exer-
else the pleasure himself.
The train whistled-now was the
accepted time! He gently ra ised the
veil, when in popped the Conductor
with a glaring lamp. And there,
dazzling the happy face of the gentle
man and widower from Mad River,
was---lucious lips; glisten-
ing teeth, extensive nose, white eyes,
charcoal countenance and wayy hair
of a she "American citizen of African
DESCENT" He did not take that kiss.
He could't see it,.
What makes this last mentioned
fact astonishing is this; the gallant
widower is one of the most prominent
Republicans in Mad River, and swal-
lows ever niggerism Of his party-e-

he can embrace the whole niger in
his party, why can't he embrace one,
personally? ''Kiss me quick, and 60

| Frederick declared that he was sat,

| But what had become of Aunt Sal

and it became a Eonder to the worthy

consulted, who had drafted the will,
but he stoutly maintained that the
will covered the whole of her proper

do with it.
One evening about six months after
the old lady's death, while Frederick
was conversing with his wife, the sub
ject of the muff was introduced.
"That was costly joke of yours,
dear Fred, said his wife, gaily.

from the aunt, which seated that she
had always intended him for her heir.
His own note also came to light, from
which his name had been torn off. This
new revelation Of course created an
immense excitement among the villa

the even tenor of their way, respected
by all, not for wealth, simply, but for
themselves. One evening during

Alarming ERsssesS CT secretary
Chnse-- Crisis at RHnnE:
WASHINGTON

WAsHINsToN-10 p. II.
The Honorable Secretary of the
Treasury is in a very precarious con-
dition. He has been ailing for some
time past, but his medical advisers lave
been anable, till within few days to
ascertain the nature Of his complaint.
1t has now, however assumed definite
form, and shows itsolf TO be an attack
Of dropsy-but of different natare
altogether from the common disease.
There being no name to be found for
it among the different kinds of dropsy,
his physicians have called it HYDRoPs
TERGUM vIRIDE, or "greenback drop
sy." He is disgusting sight to be-
hold, being SO inflated that even his
best friends scarcely recognize him.
He is covered with immense swellings
from head to foot, and his body is SO
tender that it cannot be touched with
out giving him great pain. His physi-
clans think that the disease will come
to crisis in few hours. They have
given orders for him not to be allowed
any more "greenbacks' for food, ss
they only serve to augment the dis
ease, and render all probability of his
ever recovering utterly impossible.
Yet, in spite OF their commands, he
will, during their absence, send for an
enormous supply Of "greenbacks, and
devour them With a ferocity that would
scarcely be credited in human being.
Such, however, appears to be the pc
culiar feature of his disease, the more
he gets the more he wants; and as he
pretty strong will, it follows, of course,
that the more he wants the more he
gets. -ef
IN. B.-I beg pardon for joking on
SO solemn subject, but I'm blowed if
| could help it.)
10ip.M.
His minions are at work continually
to keep up supply for him, but un-
less a stop is put to it Immediately the
results will be fearful.
II P. N.
His medical attendants have Just
come in and express great alarm at
sudden change that has taken place in
him. The crisis is supposed to be near
at hand.
114P.M.
He will either olive or die &c.,
&c.
11IP.M.
The physicians hope that he will
burst some part Of his skin, as that
would let out the "greenbacks,' after
which he would recover rapidly. If,
on the contrary, however, he should
keep his skin whole, he will probably,
within the course Of an hour or two,
give utterance to a few idiotic senten-
ces, gasp, and take quiet walk up
Salt River.

This is the moment of which I was
speaking short time ago. The crisis
will be here in minute!

pent-up in him, have gone forth to

ready TO greet them. have heard of those
who were blinded by their own desires and
really think we ought to believe such blind
ness possible, as we certainly have quite a
number of cases Illustrative of the fact, here
in our midst. Have we expended all our real
patriotism? Are we going to give up while
we have man or dollar left, because -the
rebels don't mean to be econquered? Ofcourse
they don't, and the man among us who has
any such intention is beneath contempt.

devotion to our country. We ought to be
willing to serve go good cause unpaid, unless
the remuneration be actually necessary. But
this has not been the case. On the contrary,

disgraced itself by voting to substitute money

that if there is one thing above another, which
