The Origin OF Phrases.

The Origin OF Phrases.
'He's cut Dido" 1t is told in history
that Dido, Queen of Tyre, about 7S9 years
before Christ, fed from that place on the
murder Of her husband, and, with colony,
settled on the north coast of Africa, where
she built Carthage. Being in want Of land
she bargained with the natives for as much
land as she could surround With bulls
hide. Having made the agreement she cut
bulls hide in thin strings, and tying them
together. claimed as much as she could
surround with the long line she had thus
made. The, natives allowed the cunning
Queen to have her own way, but when any.
body played off sharp trick, they said he
had "cut dido;' and the phrase has come
to our day. &2ts@
"He's caught Tartar" In some bat
tie between the Russians and Tartars, who
arc a wild sort Of people in the north of
Asia, private soldier cried out, captain,
bold on there; I've caught Tartar p
"Fetch him along, then" said the captain.
faye, but be won't let me! ~ said the man !;
and the fact was, the Tartar had caught
him. So, when man thinks to take anoth.
er in, and gets bit himself, they say, "He's
caught Tartar"
carrying the war into Africa" In one
Of the famous wars between Carthage and
Rome, about $500 years ago, Hannibal, the
Carthagenian leader, and one Of the most
wonderful men Of antiquity, led his army
into Italy, and for several years continued
to threaten the city and lay waste the sur
rounding country. Scipio, the Roman
General, saw the necessity Of getting rid Of
Hannibal and his forces, so he determined
to lead an army into Africa, and threaten
Carthage, and thus make it necessary fol
Hannibal to return home for its Defence
This scheme had the desired effect; and in
all time this retaliating upon an enemy, by
adopting his own tactics, is called "carry.
ing the war into Africa"

Prices Deseat-Its Results.

Most Of our readers have learned OF
the defeat of Price already. and We
need only say that he was badly whip

Ihls Is AL glorious news, but the best

Cause Of Discomfort.

In speaking of the discomfort Of the
militia the Times gives the following
facts as causes for the same. They tel
with force:
"The chicfest reason Of discomfort
among the militia was the report that
Lane had been placed in supreme COM
mand Of our forces. and that Maj. Gen.
Blunt, his co-worker. had planted bis
batteries in The rear of our brave men,
to drice them into Missouri, and.a they
supposed, into Lanes clutches.
Ano,her ground for suspicion that il
was to be pollcal. .ilstead of military
campaign, was that Gen. Blunt said lc
Capt. Nc Clure that "he would be Cd
id il he would not beat the Thachei
ticket"
Another ground for the same suspi'
cion. was that General Curtis himself.
while at Olathe. held political con-
ference with citizen of Johnson coun
,y, asking him how much Clarke would
run behind his ticket in that county
The General was informed that "Clarke
would get but few votes there" Gen
Curtis then requested the gentleman "a
cote aad ,eork for Clarke.
Again. Price could no. be found, and
Gen. Curtis himself conceded that the
mystery was inexplicable. and he con
fempiated disJanding tie militia Me rcry
day that Price mas discorered in force
Nothing but The frmness of Gov. Car
ney in Withholding his proclamation,
prevented this wretched disaster.
Nor DO we blame Gen. Curtis in the
slightest We are among those who
fully shared the opinion iha, Price had
re,reated South. AMI we only reflected
the popular sentiment when we declar-
ed If such was the fact, our half clad,
hall starved militia. whom the Laneite
were so fierce for driving into South
Missouri and Arkansas. should no, be
needlessly detained from their homes
or TO quote the precise language Of Gen
Curtis. beyond the point OF danger"

A Few Practical Questions.

To j. IT, Lone,
DEAR SIR.-You said in your speech
IN 81. Louis sometime ago. that every
dollars worth OF property taken by you,
IN your famous campaign in Missouri
in 1861. was turned over to the govern
ment." To whose government did you
mean? Will you show receipts, or state
anything abou. that thirty or forty thou
sand dollars worth of goods. taken BY
you at Osceola. and boxed up in West
port. Missouri ? Secondly 4: will you
tell what became Of that immense lot
of con.raband stock brongh, oul OF Mis-
sour by the troops, consisting Of horses,
mules. oxen. COWS and sheep. and turn
ed oveT,by your order, to J. C. Lambain
and others. under the pre,ense that it
was TO be wintered on the Neosho, and
sold by the government in the spring /?
Whose government sold that property
and received the money Are there
any papers to show? J. G. Lambain
says that he fed what he collected about
one month, and that you sent an order
for it, and he turned it over TO you.-
Will you tell when and where the sales
were, or what became of that property?
You frequently said to US sha. all the
property was regularly turned over to
your Quartermas,er. Did you turn
your Qaartermaster over =? One item
more-when did you turn over the two
fine horses brough, ou. of Southern
Missouri mean the black and gray
worth $500 each-that you left in the
care Of u darkey in Lawrence, when
you started to Washington? and the
three mules that you had tied west OF
your house when we were on a visit ?
A satisfactory answer to these quss-
tons will be Of infinitely more value to
you iu this canvass than all the speeches
you can ever make. And will you tell
your friends in your speeches whether
the raid upon Lawrence was. or was
not the reaction Of your raid on Oceola?

this, in face Of the fact, that Gen. Curtis
bad said. '.that the danger was removed,
and that be was glad to retiere the people
from the burden"
Was there ever such outrageous par
tisanship as the following from the Bul-
ietin exhibits
Business cannot be resumed until
Gov. Carney revokes that part Of his
order closing business.
We publish this fact in answer to
the thousand questions tha, are being
continually asked us by men who are
deeply interested in correct under
standing OF this matter
And to carry out this miserable con-
spiracy against the rights, and this
shameless fraud upon the interests oil
the business men of this city, TO pro-
mote paltry party ends. the editor Of
the Bulletin finds another tool Of Lane
to do his dirtn work. in the person oi
