REPUTATION Is rapidly gaining ground
amoug the Democrats of the West. They
want to pay the five-twenties, as fast as they
mature, by new issues of greenbacks. Pen
dleton OF Ohio, who was quietly laid to rest
with Mcclellan in '64, has secured patent
for the scheme. Mcclellan, who had been a
measurably good man, according to his gift,
went to Paris after his demise, and has been
medtating on the strange vicissitudes Of hu-
man affairs, by the side of classic streams and
mountain meres in different parts of Europe,
his pocket all the while well lined with gold
by the good Belmont, who has promised to
make his "Young Napoleon" President, on
"some happy future day." But PendIeton,
having larger intellectual gifts, is not let of
SO easily, but is compelled to revisit the scene
of his former crimes, like the Watertown
ghost He makes very dismal apparition,
but the country can endure him better SO
than as Vice President.

The LITTLE BLUE BELL comes to US again
from Mr.. Weston's excellent school at Little
Blue, in Pennington. This number has the
genuine ring of a school bell, being composed
in large part of the contributions of the Little
Blue boys, who in the matter of blowing their
horns quite surpass the "Little boy blue of
the nursery rhyme. Two engravings, repre-
senting the school house and the school home
at Little Blue, add to the value of the number.
