atives, orig naly- from Indiana, in record

THE PRINTER.-The following beauti-
ful tribute to the followers of the "stick
and rule" is from the pen of B. T. Tay-
lor, Of the Chicago Egentng Journal: -
'The printer is the adjutant of thought,
and this explains the mystery of the won
derful word that can kindle hope as no
song can; that can warm heart as no
hope can that word we with hand-in-
hand warmth in it-for the author and
the printer are. engineers together-en-
gineers indeed When the Corsican
bombarded Cadiz, at the distance of five
miles, it was deemed the very triumph of
engineering But what is that range to
this, whereby they lombard the ages yet
to be? ~ Y
There at the ease he stands, marshals
into line the forces armed with truth
clothed with Immortality and English.
And what can be nobler than the equip
ment Of thought in sterling Saxon
Saxon with spear or shield therein
and that commissioning it when we are
dead, to move gradually on to the --latest
syllable Of recorded time This is to win
victory from death, for this has no dy-
ing in it. ao-
The printer is called laborer, and the
office he performs is toll. Oh. it is not
work, but a sublime life he is performing,
when he thus sights the engine that is to
fling worded truth in grander curry Q
than missile ever described; fling it to
the bosom of an age. He throw off his
coat indeed, but We wonder the rather
that ne does not put his shoes from off
his feet, for the place where he stands is
holy ground,
A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago; it wandered through the twi-
light feebler than star it died upon
the ear. But the printer takes it up
where it was lying there in silence like
wounded bird, and he sends it forth from
the ark that had preserved it, aud it flies
on into the future with words of peace,
and around the world with melody, like
the dawning of a spring morning"

Tue PRICE ACTUALLY PAID FOR DEx-

The PRICE ACTUALLY PAID FOR DEx-
TER.-The famous trotting horse Dexter
arrived in this city on Wednesday morn
ing from Chicago He was delivered to
Mr. Bonner on the afternoon of that day,
and yesterday nEr Bonner drove him for
the first time on Harlem Lane, and a lso
on the private trotting park near Ma-
combs Dam. One of the Directors Of
the park relates that as soon as the horse
made his appearance in front of the club
house all the gentle men present took off
their hats AS there as been considera-
bic discussion concerning the price paid
for the "King of the Turf" we have OBJ
tanned for publication the following re-
ceipt, which will settle the matter:
Received, New York, September 18,
of Robert Bonner, Esq, thirty-thousand
dollars for the horse Dexter. sold by pre-
vious agreement, and this day delivered
by me to him, and warranted sound
"a. E. FAwsETT."
In order to form an idea Of Dexter's
superiority over all other trotting horses,
it is only necessary to state that during
Flora Temples entire career on the turf
she trotted only four or five heats in less
time than 2:22, while Dexter has trotted,
in less than two years twenty seven heats
in 2:22 or quicker. The horse that has
ranked next to Dexter on the turf, dur
ing the past two years, is Lady Thorn,
and she has never made even one heat in
2:22, while Dexter has trotted. as horse
men say, away down. in 2:l74.-N T.

ERRLY THUNDER.-A family in La
Crosse Wisconsin,, have been missing
stove wood for several weeks past On
the return of the members of the family
few days since, the case was stated, and
Sunday night very pretty stick OF fuel
was left with the others on the woodpile,
In the stick were two ounces Of powder
for safe keeping. Monday the stick was
there-Tuesday the stick was there, and
the laugh was getting on the man who
fixed it. Wednesday morning the stick
was gone Wednesday morning an exs
plosion was heard in house near by, and
kitchen window was spared no panes.
On going to the spot a sight might have
been seen The stove had joined con-
ference. A kettle Of pork and cabbage
shot up through the roof like an arrow
A dish of apples stewing on the stove gave
the ceiling an appearance of a map of
California. A cat sleeping under the
stove went through after the devil or
the doctor. The cat has not been heard
from since, but smell Of burnt cat hair
pervades that house very thoroughly,
a fiat iron was hoisted into a pan OF
dough, chair lest three legs, the wood
box looks sick, while the root of the house
looks like a bursted apple dumpliug, the
occupants Of the ruin say:
"Such tunder never comes perfore fof
[ buys litenin' rod, by tam!'
A laughable spirit of economy and
thrift pervades the town of Saybrook,
Conn, the place where the first Anne ris
can platform" was constructed, judging
from the cousolatory reflections of Uncle
Barnuck B, who had been very sick
in midsummer, but soon got about agait'
In reply to Colonel Higginbottom's in
quiry as to his health, he said: "Wa'ali

EXCELLENT RULEs.-To remember
that we are all subject to failings and in
frmities of one kind or another
To bear with, and not magnify each
others infrmities.
To avoid going from house to house for
the purpose of hearing news and inter-
fering with other peoples business.
Always turn deaf ear to any SANDER
Gus reports, and lay no charge against any
person until we'll founded.
IF one be in fault to tell him in private
before it is mentioned to others.
To watch against any shyness of each
other, and put the best constructions on
any action that has the appearance of op
position or resentment.
To observe the just rule of Solomon,
that is, to leave off contention before it
is meddled with.
A LILLIpUT1AN-Mrs. General Tom
Thumb may often be seen promenading
Broadway on fine afternoon She goes
just as any her lady is supposed to do.
She dresses very neatly, wearing black
silk dress and basque, jockey hat and dark
kid gloves. Mrs. Startton is never unac-
companied in public. When walking by
the side of her attendent, she looks Ike a
mere child, and attracts little attention
excepting from those who happen to re-
cognize her, and rudely stare at and no
tice the good looking and we'll developed
little lady:

The Ohio correspondent Of the New
York Tribune says Of this genus, to which
hawks, fsh-eagles and vultures belong
" A groundwork for serious dissatisfac-
ton among the most sincere adherents
Of the Republican party, has been the
rapRcity Of its office-holders and the in
difference Of the National Legislature to
the immediate ills from which the nation
suffered. II has been a subject Of uni
versal complaint that while the trade OF
the country is well nigh at stand-still,
the laborer abroad In search of employ
ment, taxes and the cost Of living enor-
m0usly high, and the profits OF labor
and merchandising UnprecedentedIy
small, that body has been possessed with
y mania for disposing of the public mon
eys by continued appropriations that it
has arbitrarily increased its salaries and
perqHisites that Ia the course Of three
sessions since the cessation Of hostilities
it has provided no method Of retreneh-
ment, no looping of Of useless and de-
vouring offices, no economising in the
collection OF the revenues, no checking
the defalcations and whisky frauds, and
the thousand instances Of Official periidy
by which the Federal treasury is icing

THE WHITE BOYS IN BLUR.
A meeting was held last evening in
Masonic Hall of the old soldiers Of the
Army Of the Potomac and the Army Of
the West opposed to negro suffrage and
the arbitrary and despotfc schemes ofthe
Radical Congress. There was q large
attendance of officers and soldiers,
" comrades who had drank from the
same canteen, and passed through the
perils and smoke of many q desperate
day by Rsppshanock's banks, under the
bluffs Of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, the
One-Armed heroes who had defiled
through the torn streets Of Richmond
with Grants legiOns Of braves, and saw
the surrender under the famous apple
tree Of AppomattO1. These gallant
veterans met for the purpose of
creating an organization to ccua-
tersct the evil effects OF the
Loyal League Clubs and the bogus Office
holding soldiers of the so-called Grand
Army Of the Republic. Believing, as
one Of them said, that the country is
now in as great jeopardy as it wss in
1851, before he entered the ranks to put
down the rebellion, they were deter
termined to organize in every State in
the Union In branch societies Of the
parent stem, under the name Of the
" White Boys in Blue" to stand hy the
Union, the Constitution, and the laws.
The meeting was organized, and the fol-
lowing sub com mittee appointed by the
Executive Committee to draft q plan of
organization and platform: Gen. ]. H.

Col. Levi s. Chstfeld Gen. w. S. Hill

fellow passengers had a most happy "
smile on their faces, Of which the old
hero seemed to be proud. A slight Incl
dent, however, rather interfered with the
" General" A rebel, traitor, a fiend
and a monster, hired a dozen boys who
ran alongside the car shouting, Ben,
what's the price Of silver ?" "HOw do
you feel, Old Spooney?D and other ma
liciOus invectives; and one raw boned,
ugly looking yOungster followed,
" ExtTy Netcs! Gen. Grant has ordered
Butler to report ct Sing Sing" At the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, where the General
got out, the boys stopped, and their
leader screamed, Now the old fellow is
going to uncork himself" Such pro-
ceedings are infamous, and the more so

ner Of Twenty eighth street fellow pas
senger, a noble looking specimen Of the

The unfortunate termination Of the late war,
