work of the Navy in its true light before

ARtch "LocaI"-The Chicago stylc.

The "locals " of Chicago indulge in style
of writing up police cases which gives pecu-
liar spice to their columns, ard wonderfully
iightens up the entire paper Here is a specimen
brick from the Republican: q
On Wednesday last the honeymoon Of Mr.. and
Mrs Barton ended. 1t ended by mutual agree
mcnt, and without any of those chickering's
which too often lend Il charm 10 married life
That morning Mr.. Barton bought latch-key,
and when he came home to dinner, showed 1t to
his wife. She understood il at once. Like all
women, she knew that latch-keys and honey
moons incompatible things hen the
honeymoon is over, the husband cares Tor his
wife in a practical point of view. He does not
want her 10 come down to the door late at night
and let him in. She might get cold, and thus
become sick.
To show her husband that she agreed to the
ending of the honeymoon, Mrs. Barton invited
three elderly married ladies to take tea with her.
The three ladies were prominent members of the
Neighbors' Missionary Society. The objects OF
that society to that ones nelghhors 1--we
as they ought to, and TO discuss and investigate
every ones character. Meetings may be held
at any time and al any place. Two women con-
stitute IL quorum. For some years past the So
ciety has been in perpetual session
When Mrs. Barton told her husband of the in
vitations she had given, he felt happy. He saw
that she had quietly accepted the inevitable. He
had his supper that evening at Il restaurant,
When he left there, he met some friends. They
asked him how he liked matrimony. He replied,
:. Let's take drink The answer was satlsiac-
tory and they drank to it. Then they drank to
Mr.. Barton, to his wife, to his married lile-the
last in silence. Becoming confidential, Mr.. Bar
ton told his friends that he knew he should be
the father of Il large and nourisbing family of
eight or nine children. Would they not drink TO
those children? Separate drinks were had for
each Of the nine children. Then they drank TO
Mr.. Bar,on's next wife.
AT that moment Mr. Barton deeply affect
ed and wept. Never, he told his friends, would
he marry again. Even if his wife died, the
greater part of her would remain with him. He
would put her false hair, teeth, and numerous
other fasitcs in glass case, and in gazing on
them he would be gazing on his wife. She was
superior to- and better than, other women. She

One Of Mr.. Barton's friends, Mr. Cameron,
said those remarks a reflection On a wom-
an. His fathers grandmother was woman,
and that made the thing personal. He would
have to knock his friend Barton down 1t was
his duty to do so, and he trusted Barton would
take it in a friendly spirit.

AN ELOQUENT PIcTURE.-We extract the fol-
lowing from the address delivered at the Second
Annual Celebration of the Society of California
Volunteers, by that gallant soldier and nnwaver-
Unionist, Brig. Gen. Geo. W. Bowie. He shows
that California might have been under Democrat
ic rule :-'' The rapid development, and earnest
manifes tations of Union sentiments, under the
change Of military authorities, arrested the exu-
tant and defiant spirit that would have involved
us in fratricidal strife If the demon of unnat-
ural discord, and sectional hate, had been.
loosed amongst us who can depict the terrible
scenes and frigbtful consequences that would
have ensued. Our happy State instead of being
the sweet abode of peace and prosperity, and
the home of cherished patriotism, would have
had her fair fields blighted by the cruel ravages
of civil war her towns and cities made desolate !;
her commerce driven from golden shores
the white winged messengers of multitudinous
seas that are wont to WOO our inviting harborS,
freighted with the richest cargoes of every land
and cline, lying idly in our nnvexed waters with
sailless mas,s, and motionless and decaying
prows our fountains of mineral wealth no long
er pouring forth their streams of untold treas
ure and every branch and kind Of business bro
ken up and Frustrated. Who is there now that
does cot congratulate himself, and speak words
of Joyous import to his neighbor, that California
did not have that great calamity inflicted upon
her, that trampled down constitutions, and laws,
and religion, and morals, and tore aSunder ties
of kindred and friendship, and imperiled com
munities and the foundation of Government It.
SELF Peacefully and prospeTously we passed
through the long years of the nations gloom
and trial without having our soil shamed by the
tramp of enemies of the Great Republic"

tell YOU the truth. think nature intended Mr..
Greeley for a simple-hearted and honorable man.
But the OK, gentlemen, is not q fox. Laughter.
In some unfortunate moment Mr. Greeley con-
ceved the idea that he made for a Talley-
rand and he has ever since been in favor of
trading principles for immediate results. Mr..
Greeley, the clumsiest of mortals is always pa
radug his tact. Every man be respectable
in the exercise of his talent, but much depends
on what his talent happens to be. The donkey
who saw the spaniel fondlc his master, and in
return got cudded and petted and taken up into
his masters lap, thought he had as good right
to be so treated but when he went to push his
attention his master he was kicked into the
street. although the same donkey munchiug hiS

REPUTATION OR CREENBACkS.

The New York Herald may not be in
favor of repudiating the public debt, but
it is significant that it is proclaiming that
reputation is imminent. In a recent
issue it declares that Eve shall soon hear
the word reputation uttered, much as
bondholders dread it. 1t is very prob
able that there is party in this country,
though perhaps small at present, in favor
Of repudiating the public debt. But it is
significant that so largely circulated a
journal as the New York Herald is
gragely discussing the probabilities OF
reputation, and thus lending. its inhu-
ence to familiarise the people with such
measure 1t at least shows the temper
of the times
A proposition has been made-and we
believe it originated with the New York
Tribune or a correspondent Of that paper
to pay off the national debt with green
backs, and thus save to the nation the
immense amount which is paid out every
year in the shape of interest This pro
position is received with considerable
favor, especially as it relieves the tax
payers of very onerous burden If this
measure should become so popular as to
indicate its probable adoption by Con-
gress, Europe would soon be emptied of
our bonds and heavy, decline in prices
would follow.

Mr. TRmBLE is announced to address
the public in the Representative Hall to-
night on the issues Of the canvass. One
of these issues as presented by his COM
petitor, and which is exciting general in
terest in this community, and throughout
the district, is on the subject of contsca-
ton. There are msny nOn-yoters as well
as voters who have a deep stake and
anxiety upon this subject, who would be
greatly pleased to hear Mr.. Trimble take
position on the questisn Without any
wish to be offensive we respectfully, in
behalf OF the people of this Congressional
district, ask Mr. Trimble,
Would you, if elected to Congress, vote
for any measure having for its object the
confscation of the lands OF otherproperty
Of the Southern people, including those
of Tennessee, for the purpose Of paying
the public debt, or for any other purpose
Do you believe it would be either just
or justifable to strip any portion or class
of the people of Tennessee of their
property, without compensation, for any
purpose whatever? And would you OPP
pose or favor such proposition, if elected
to Congress2
We do not wish to embarrass Mr..
Trimble, or direct him from the line Of
discussion that he has marked out for
himself in the canvass, and have so pre-
sented the matter as that his answers
may be in monysillables, and with these
we shall be content

ANOTHER HELpER BOOK


One Hinton Rowan Helper, who wrote
book before the war in favor of the
abolition of slavery, has lived to see his
wishes accomplished He has also writ
ten another book in which he tells what
he would have done with the negroes,
now that they are free A contemporary
has the following extracts, which sufi-
GENTLY indicate the scope and design of
this friend of the negro. The following
is from the dedication
"To the most enlightened and progress
sive portion of the people of the New
World, who have the far-reacbing foresight,
and the manly patriotism to determine ir-
reyocably, by their votes in 1852
sooner or later, that after the 4th of July,
1876, Tor at the very farthest, after the LIST
Of January, 1900 no slave, nor would be
slave; no negro nor mulatto no Chinaman
nor unnative Indian; no black nor BIZ
colored individual of whatever name or
nationality, shall ever again find domicil
any where within the boundaries of the
United States of America
The body of the work contains such
kindly sentiments as the following. 1t
will be observed that they are Radical, {"
as they go to the root of the business /:
"Full and formal notice to the negroes
every one Of them, including all mulat-
toes, the quadroons, the octoroous, and all
the other non-whites, that, after the 4th of
July, 1876, their presence would be no
longer required or tolerated north of the
northern boundary of Mexico and assist
them, to a limited extent, to get somewhere
ut would matter very little where) south of
that south-moying boundary"
We should SO far yield to the evident
designs and purposes of Providence, as to
be both willing and anxious to see the
negroes, like the Indians and all other
efiete and dingy -hued races, gradually ex-
terminated from the face of the whole
earth"
"On the premises of no respectable
white person; in the mansion of no honor
able private citizen in no lawfully con
vened public assembly; in no nationally
moral or religious society in no decently
kept hotel in no restaurant worthy of the
patronage of white people in no reputable
store or shop; in no place whatever where
any occupant or visitor is of Caucasian
bloodhound the loathsome presence of
any negro or negroes ever be tolerated"
This same Helper was once a great
favorite with the New England philan-
thropists. How long it viii be before
they embrace his present platform cannot
be foreseen; but considering the fact that
the sanity Puritans were the first to en-
gage in the slave traffic, and only aban-
dOned it when it ceased to pay, they are
very likely to fall in with this infamous
Helper doctrine whenever it shall appear
that the colored people may assert their
political freedom, in antagonism to the
Puritan idea that high tariffs, and that
Southern labor must be taxed to increase
the riches Of New England capitalists
They will be most probably then for the
Helper programme of determination
