The Ottawa County Union tells the fol-
lowing story of a man who didn't take
newspaper;
An old man in Benton township, this
county, was paid some three years ago
when demand notes were FIRST put in circu-
lation-a large sum in that currency. He
boarded them up, and as he did not take
paper, he, therefore, was not aware that
they were of the same value as gold. Ho
built a house and paid them out the same
as other currency, when, during the same
period, we had published the value Of tho
same notes he was paying out, not less
than twenty times. If he had paid two
dollars for the Union, it would have flrn-
ished him intelligence that would have
benefited him over $1,000.

The following significant item is from
the Irontou Register:
A Coon STGS.-We understand that q
majority Of the Democratic Central Com
mittee Of this county will vote in favor Of
manhood suffrage at the next election
Whatever may be their motives for thus
taking the advance, they should have the
credit Of being on the right side. This Is
an item TO show that the issue does not 50
materially affect the political situation OF
the parties as one might suppose. Those
persons will support the Democratic ticket,
and vote for manhood suffrage also.

GRACE GREESwooU AND HER HUSBAND,
Grace Greenwood some weeks since ad-
dressed a letter to the editor ofthe Chicago
Tribune in regard to some misstatements
in his journal. She thus sets him right as
to who is her husband:
In late number of the Tribune, It is
stated that "Grace Greenwood is the wife
of Mr.. Lippincott, the great Philadelphia
publisher" which she isn't. If she were
that fortune-favored lady, she would at
this blessed time be touring in sunny Italy,
with no end of money to spend, instead of
being poor writer, and poorer lecturer,
storm-bound in Illinois, with no end OF
need for money to spend. My husband is

Mr.. Chase shsrteuins Sail.

We have report from Richmond by way Of
Washington that Chief Justice Chase Is In
favor of such mobilization Of the radical pro-
gramme as will exclude negroes from holding
Office, but favors universal suffrage and some
thing further Is said In the same report Of max
ing ten years citizenship in the United States
qualification for holding Office" We guess,
however. that Mr.. Chase viii have TO shorten
sail very considerably on the money question,
a. well Is the niger question, to bring his
bark back into the current Of public opinion.
As he stands to-day he is in greater danger Of
being swamped on his financial system than on
his negro programme. With regard to the
election Of negroes to Congress, the radicals
would do well TO look INFO the constitution,
which requires seven years citizenship for q
member Of the House and nine years for q
member Of the Senate, and apply this rule to
the blacks. Dating from the Official proclama-
tion Of the constitutional amendment abolish
ing slavery, the blacks Of this country, though
born in II. have been citizens Of the United
States only two years or 50.

Of the old material OF democratic conventions,
which we have seen many times before, about
cardinal doctrines, constitutional principles,

conventions Of all parties proclaim. But while

Dialeetics In Balrimore-Wise aaa Pollard.
The Wise and Pollard discussion goes on 10
the good old chvaric way, and has finally
reached the shooting stage, the latest argu-
ment having been safely lodged In Pollard's
elbow. Pollard, Il cannot be forgotten, wrote
history. Wise criticised it, Pollard there
upon criticised Wise, and now son and
nephew Of Wise "criticise" Pollard
on the public street There is well
preserved tradition that member OF Con-
gress from South Carolina once attended =
performance at the Washington theatre. and
thought the play and the playing very bad.
He thought them so bad as TO be beyond the
reach Of ordinary emsdies. He ssid TO him
self, s'I'll stop this" and he. Immediately pro-
duced thehorse pistols that every chivslric SON
OF the South carries in his coat, and opened
fire on the actors Now that was real dramatic
criticism, and the Wises have studied from
that members favorite authors. They adopt
the same style. Pollard can scarcely mistake
their meaning; but in the meantime what be-
comes Of the public. The two Wises dis
charged several leaden remarks" at Pollard
the other day; only one hit the man they were
all meant for, and any passer-by might have
caught the remainder. The Wises, fearful
that they will not be thought gentlemen, prove
themselves rufaans. and If the danger were
only TO themselves no one would object; but
Maryland justice. out Of regard 70 the public
peace, II not common sense, ought to provide
that this sort Of discussion shall not happen
again for some time between the same parties
II
