Nehemiah Pollard was an army COM
tractor. He furnished pork for the west
ern department, and of course he got rich
by it. At the end of two years at that
kind of business, he found himself worth
half million
People began to call him Mr.. Pollard,
and Squire Pollard, instead Of cold Pol
lard. and "Miah," and sleek man in
white neck cloths, called on him with long
subscription papers.
Mrs. Pollard had discovered her i'm
portance some time previously. Dry
goods clerks held the doors open for her
now, who three years before would have
seen her drop a dozen parcels in the mud
and shut the skirt of her dress into the
door forty times. without coming to the
rescue. She was consulted about sewing
societies, and appealed to in behalf of For
aicn Missions. and Bible Societies, and
Sanitary Commissions, and her opinion
was quoted among her friends as We quote
from the statute book.
Mrs. Pollard awoke suddenly to a
knowledge Of the fact that it lily became
their altered circumstances to live in one
story wooden house, in remote part Of
the city, with none of the convenienees
and improvements They owed it to the
children, she said, to inhabit house with
all the modern conveniences and see some
thing of the world.
Nehemiah fingered his grecnbacks, look
ed wise, and conceded.
So house was taken
1t would be tedious to relate all the
particulars of the furnishing, much of
which was done by contract.
The house was large and commodious.
There was library, parlor, drawing
rooms, dining-halls, apd model kitchen.
1t was heated with furnace, lighted with
gas; there was a dumb waiter, spring locks,
hot and cold water in short it was a house
with AL the modern conveniences.i
The library was stocked with Station
er who received orders, to be sure the
books were well bound, and mostly in red
backs; the conservatory was filled by 4
florist, and Mrs Pollard stipulated only
that there should be plenty OF hollyhocks
and popies.
When all was ready the family moved
in.
Mrs, Pollard sailed about the grant
rooms like queen; but her husband
looked absolutely frightened as he sur
veycd the premises.
"By golly, Peggy, he exclaimed, ri
this ere haint leetle to fine for us; I fee
like cat in strange garrct yes, by
golly; like two cass! There's dozen o.
things here that | don't know the name

Ten years ago, Dumas published long
story in the fouillcstons of a political jour
nal. The heroine was represented as a
consumptive person, who had reached the
second stage of the disease-cold sweats,
coughs, irritabilty, fits of wild gaiety,
alternating with deep melancholy, poetic
hallucnations The entire diagnosis of
phthisic was traced with that golden pen,
which is 50 ably welded by the skillful
hand of the great novelist.

putting the finishing touches to his great
work, great parsonage from the court of
Louis Philippe was announced: NJ. lie

"Ah, well my poor consumptive dies in

"You must cure her." said the lord
"But the plot is ali constructed"
"You must al.er the conclusion"
"But denoucment is thrilling"
"You must find another"
Dumas looked at his interlocutor in as

"Why do you wish me to effect the

He retouched the conclusion of his ro-

Five years afterward Dumas idet, in

stand Up 10 The Rack.

Loyal Leaguers and other Lincoln par
tlzanS had a glorious time of prca .hing
war and determination against the South
during the late Presidential canvass. and
every spouter of Republicanism, whether
on the stump or in the street or hotel, put
on heroic airs, and seemed to be chatting
for an opportunity to achieve military re-
nown on the battle field. To talk of a
cessation of the work of death and a resort
to peaceful, civilized methods of arrang-
ing the quarrel and restoring amicable
relations between the belligcrents, was to
call d )wn upon your head the denuncia-
tions and abuse Of the war champions and
many man has had his good name black
ened with the foul charge of treason for
no other offence than that of attempting
to stay the tide of fanaticism and advoca-
ting negotiation as the best means of adj
justing differences between the contending
parties. Well, the opportunity is at length
afforded for these wordy patriots to venti-
late their martial ardor and achieve the
glory they have seemed to covet What
do they do? Rush to ''the 'front.' in an
swer to their Presidents urgent call for
"30o, 900 more 2" Not a bit of it; but
instead, we see them resorting to every
possible subterfuge to keep out of the
army, and We shall no doubt see them in
due time among the most jealous in voting
bounties, so that by piling taxes upon 9th
ers, who may have met their responsible
ties by putting substitutes into the army
at their own expense, they may be permit
It'd to stay at home, and expend their
patriotism in abusing peace men and cop
perheads. Such sneaks as these are plcn-
ty in Malone, and they will be found
swarming about any meeting that may be
called to vote bOunties. Such creatures
are fit objects ''for scorn to point its slow,
unmoving finger at" and are a disgrace
to any community in which they have an
abiding place. We are ready to face all
the fair and legitimate consequences of
the doctrines We teach and advocate: that
these fellows shall do the same is all We
ask. In the language of the Portland
Advertiser
We believe in men fghtingas they vote,
and now good opportunity is offered for
those blatant politicians who promised us
SO much before election, and worked so
hard for the niger policy, to make good
their prore' sions, if they dare VIII they
don blue suit, and put their shoulders
behind bright musket barrel, and go
and help Grant? We don't believe it
1t would be mercy to community if they
would. There is enough of them to fill
the call Let them partake of the feast
they spread for others so charmingly.--
Let the able bodied among them give up
their fat offices and big contracts to some
of the manned and disabled soldiers they
shed so many tears over. That would be
"big thing" We are decidedly in favor
of filling the 'dccimated ranks of the ar
my" in that way.--Franklin Gazette

The Income Tax List.

Several of our cotemporaries are quite
astonshed at the revelations made by an
examination Of the income tax list Men
who were supposed to be wealthy, are
shown to be in reality far otherwise
Many who sport first class equipages, and
in every way manifest the usual concomi-
tants of wealth, have contriyed, it seems,
to live in dashing style ON very small in
comes. " Such thrift and executive capac-
ity are unsurpassed in ancient and modern
times" equaling in this regard that
celebrated individual of antiquity who was
detected faging a parasite for his aleagin-
Gus deposit and cuticie.''
The most astonishing thing that we know
of relative to this matter hereabouts, is
the poverty of "extreme loyalists s'-men
who were known to be worth from fifteen
to fifty thousand dollars before the war,
but who, according to the lists, only re-
ceive an income of one or two per cent.
upon their invested capital. Sympathy
for their distracted country, and repining
at the disloyalty Of their neighbors, has
not only aged them beyond the draft, ="
but Impoverished them beyond the reach
of taxes" Oh, uncle Samuel! why will
you thus oppose your truest dearest
friends? The repeal of the conscript act
an he income tax law would Go much to
rejavenate and bless thy loyal friends.

General Sherman has written letter
to friend in Washington, which closes
with the following language:
"My idea is :'at every young and mid
die AGED MAJ ought to be proud of the
chance to fight for the integrity of his
country. | would like to see all trade and
commerce absolutely cease until this con-
Hict is over: and all who can fight, and
won't. ought to Le killed or banished; and
those who won't support those who do
fight, should be denationalized."
Republicans war men. do you hear
that ? You can now see what one of your
sincere war men thinks of you who are so
valorous to stay at home.
You had better stop trading; cease mer-
chandising. quit buying and selling 'until
this conflict is over" and embrace at once
"the chanre to fight" because if you can
fight, and won't" Sherman may aysuccced
in having you "killcd or banished," either
Of which would not be agreeable, you know.
Don't be stubborn and hang back like an
OK drawn 10 the slaughter, but step up
cheeriully-don't even wait to be drafted
for in that case evil disposed persons might
say you were compciied to do what you
ought to perform ro1umtari.y, and besides
that you would get neither bounty, nor
credit for patriotism.
