GE- The withdrawal of the CunarC

EE The Withdrawal of the Cunard
steamers, it appears, is not to be the
only blow from which the foreign com
merce of Boston is to suffer. The Bos-
ton Post says !: "On the heel of the
withdrawal Of the Cunard, comes the
unpleasant intelligence that the Amer.
lean Steamship Line has in contem-
plation the sale of the steamships On
tarlo and Erie to parties in New Y ork. J"
Boston's direct trade with Europe,
under the American flag, is thus to
be taken also by New York. The do.
nestle and coastiDg trade of Boston is
at present at low ebb, and consists
chiefly in the arrival and departure of
golfers from Philadelphia and George
town, and lumber-laden vessels from
Maine.

Mrs. Stoves new book. "Men Of the
Times, relates some anecdotes connected
with the early life Of her brother Henry? We
extract the following:
When Henry WAS eleven years old he was
placed in his sisters school in Hartford. All
the other pupils were girls. Here is school
scene:
The school room was divided into two d.
visions in or ulmar, under leaders on either
side, and the grammatical reviews were con-
tests for superiority, IN which ii was virtually
important that every member should be per-
fecled. Henry was generally the latest choice,
and fell on his side as an unlgcky accession
being held more amusing than profitable
on such occasions.
The fair leader of one Of these divisions
took the boy aside to private apartment,
to put into him with female tact and insinua.
ton those definitions and distinctions On
which the honor OF the class depend.
Now, Henry, A is the indefinite article,
you see and must be used only with the sin
guar number. Gu say mGR-but you
can't say men, can you +? AYES, | can say
Aalen too, was the ready rejoinder. Father
says it always at The end of his prayers.
"Come, Henry, now don't be joking, de-
cline He. = "Aomil alive lie. ossess.ye his,
objective him .'Yo on see, his is possessive.
Now you can say his book-but you can't say
him book 9 {. Yes, do say Hymn book, too,
said the impractieahle scholar with Il quizzi-
cal twinkle. Each one Of these sallies made
his young teacher laugh, which was the vic
tory he wanted
.'Butnow, Henry, seriously, just attend TO
the active and passive 70 &c. Now, i strike
is active, Jon see. because if you strike You
do something But 1 am struck is passive,
because if you are struck you don't do any
thing, do you
ayes, | do, strike back again.
After about six months, Henry was return
ed on bis parents hands with the reputation
OF being an inveterate joker and an inditler-
ent scholar Il was the opinion of his class
that there was much talent lying about loose
ly in hin, if he could only be brought to ap,

THE CAMPAIGN ARGUS!
EVERY FAMILY SHOULD HAVE IT !!
Only One Dollar!

The coming Presidential cam
paign will be one OF the most i'm
portant ever held in this coun-
try. it will decide whether our
Government is to be preserved and
administered in accordance with the
principles Of the Constitution, Or
whether it shall lapse into central
power and, at hast, into military
despotism. 1t is a subject of the
highest Importance that arrange
ments be made for furnishing the
people with proper reading matter,
in order that they may be informed
upon the issues to be voted on. For
this purpose we offer to furnish the
WEEKLY. ARGUS in clubs of ten
copies or more, all sent to one man,
and for distribution among people
who are not now subscribers, at 81
each, for six months-all in each
club OF ten or more to pay in ad

anence and end at the same time.
Of course we can only make bare
paying business, at this rate, but we
do it for the purpose Of helping en-
tighten and arouse the people, hop
ing thus to increase the democratic
vote.
Each township should have. its
central committee and its democratic
association, and appoint active, re-
liable committees for each school
district. And the school district
committees should see that clubs
are raised to supply every family
with paper. The money must al
ways accompany the order, as no
papers will be sent until the money
is received. Direct letters to

G. A. R.-It is necessary, in order to sus-
tain the declining cause of radicalism, to
pull the wool over the eyes of democratic
soldiers and get their votes. To this end
the G. A. R. is attempting to revive itself in
this county, and get some of its membersin-
to Office. By the way-it is noticeable fact
that radical love for soldiers for Office, is
wholly confined to those who wore shoulder
straps and got big pay, all through the war.
If they were paupers when they enlisted,
wore shoulder straps and drew big pay all
through the...war, stole cotton, orsplundered
churches and the houses of defenceless PEG
pie, and came home rich; they are pretty
sure to be nominated by the radicals 70,
some Office, while the honest, deserving
private, who worked for poor pay, lived on
poor fare, and came home poor, never gets
anything.
