"Be without spot or Blemish.r

EDITOR ARGUS. Swallowing your SYM
pathy with the unfortunate and your readi-
ness to assist the distressed ! respectfully
lay my hard case before you: When | laid
in my stock of shirts, | bought spotted ones.
Innocently and with an open breast wore
them for three months, since l came into this
town. L tried to get respectable boarding
house, but everywhere | called they were
quite full. | wanted credit but no one would
trust me. In my sparkling operations
| have beei most cruelty humiliated !;
and 10 when | was about to shake the dust
from my feet and depart the city, read in
the Chicago Tribune, the following:
sFleming was dressed in a black coat, dark
pantaoons and wore that unmistakeabe mark of a
vagabond-a spotted shirt
To be without spot or blemIsh undoubtedly
has reference to ones shirt and not to char
acter as has been vulgary supposed. In fact
to have a spot on ones shirt is worse than a
blemish on ones character-it being more
apparent and discernable.
And now, tell me, Mr.. Editor, what / can
do and how / can presume to put in a claim
to responsibility after having worn this stig-
ma of rascality for three months.
Your innocent but worse than shirtless victim,
A GREENHoRN.

a spotted shirt, and he feared that he should

Gen Grant was heartily welcomed to that city
by the military authorities. He expressed his
opinion, while there, regarding the Mexican af-
fairs. He said emphstcally that the want OF
Maxlmillianto the Mexican throne was part OF
the rebellion, and lis immediate expulsion should
be part of ITS history. France did not ask OF US
to establish throne in Mexico, and would
not consult that power IN establishing the re-
public. He said that France had no right to in
terfere in the question, but It she would involve
herselfin a with this point, now is the

FENIANIsM The Fenian movement seems
to be on the decline At present, both in Ire
land and America. There is no excitement
about the matter, and there are 10 signs of
action Of any kind in any direction. Even
Canada is being quieted, and the fear of in
surrection or invasion is passing away. In
the mass of England newspapers which we
received by the last mail the subject Is hard
ly mentioned. The London Times has ceas-
ed indu giug IN either threats or ridicule
about it,and the Irish papers treat it already
as a thing of the past.-Ne,c York Times.

She lived entirely within doors. Ashley had
one evening taken her for walk, and the
unaccustomed sights and sounds of the streets
had terrified her SO much that he never re.
peated the experiment.
AT times longing to introduce his beauti-
full wife to his old friends and relatives in
England was very strong, but the difficulties
of explanation, or of deceit, which it would
involve, combined with her extreme aversion
to the project, always prevailed, and the
idea was dismissed, as the thing was impos
sible.
