CRUMBS OF CNMFoRT.--We have heard
tell of picking crumbs of comfort, from
the most untoward circumstances, and from
the most unlikely and unpromising places
but we have never seen so impressive an ex-
ample of it as the following. Our cotempo-
rary of the Milwaukee Nears is noted for that
sort of thing, but even he, never picked so
small 'crumb of comfort" before. The
Marquette Express is little insignificant
sheet, but the most intensely democratic
and the most shamelessly disloyal, of any
paper in the State, the Meas not excepted.
1t is feeble imitator of the Meas, without
its discretion or common sense. Its edit
orials are generally a re-hash of the Mems
and the Chicago Times and yet the Nea,s
picks ''crumb of comfort from the Express.
We clip the following from the Meas:
''THE STATE CALL.-The Marquette Ex-
press, an Independent conservative paper,
says of the democratic call for State Con-
veution:
We venture the remark, that if the spirit
of that call is responded to, this county will
give two third vote in support OF its meas
ures and men at the coming election next
fall.
And venture another remark, that the
state will give an equal majority, and the
Union Democratic party be Overwhelmingly
successful in the several states that are to
settle the next presidential contest
The idea of calling the cypress san indie
pendent conservatiyepaper, is the best thing
of the season. Its prophetic powers @ too,
are so extraordinary, that it is little wonder
the Meas finds ''crumb Of comfort" from
this attempt at vaticination. As examples
of its powers in this line, we may remark,
that the Express was an inyetcrately 'iEde-

fore the Probate Judge on writ OF hobea,

committed in Holmes county, that no date
was given to the alleged offense, that the
wheat was not shown to be of any value moi
was it named as the property of PETET

A FINGER TAKEN Orion Wedncs-
day of last week, little son of Colonel
SpEIGEL caught the iore-finger of his left
hand in our printing press and had it in
stantly taken off. The boy had been eau
toned to leave but moment before, and
would probably have left had he not waited
for another boy that was with him. The
little fellow stood the saving off of the bon,

that but few men would show under similar
circumstances. We hope all the boys who
read this may take warning and keep ava,
from machinery, especially when it is il

RECOGNIZED FACTS. In the book OF
Hebrews we read: The Lord shall judge
his people, This has no reference to the
abolition party, In Exodus we read: 'The
Lord God, mcrciful and gracious, keeping
mercy for thousands" From this we would
infer that some Of the aboitionists might
yet find pardon from the mercful and for
giving Kindness of gracious Providence.
In Jeramiah VIC read: 81 will keep moth
ing back from you" We positively assure
our readers that jeremiah was not an army
contractor.
Shakespeare said: Ignorance is the curse
of God. " If Sir William was right, anC
we believe he spoke truly, A. Lincoln has
a pretty weighty curse resting upon his ole
stoop shoulders.
a. Lincoln persists in cutting up States
changing boundaries, &C. We would cal
his attention to the Xix chapter of Deutcr
omony, where he may read "Thou shal
not remove thy neighbor's landmark. "
The accession of the abolition party tc
power is aptly described in the " chapte
of Hosea; Therefore shall the land mourn
and every one that dwelleth therein shall
anguish. "
How forcibly we arc reminded of th
truth Of the maxim of the immortal Frank
} lin:
Mad wars destroy mtny years of peace"

secret mail. That was more than Be
: Butler did with Mrs. Lincolns sister whc
