EDIToRs.-An exchange draws the

II is to work harder, more hours in q day,
with less recreation, on less sleep and
poorer pay than any o. your fellow NOR
tails. II is to be busy when your neigh
bors are idle, buster when they sleep, and
busiest when they are enjoying good
time. II is to be always in a hurry, al
ways under press Of business, always
"setting up" when others are lying down,
and always charitably distributing" the
results of our daily labor. It is to have
your opinions always put to "7roof,"
and seldom into practice. 1t is to adver-
tise other peoples wants, wishes and
wares; to announce facilities for pleasure;
to herald the approach of diseases aud
the invention of cures for them to make
known who has been robbed, how much,
whore, who is the robbcr, his personal
history. his trial, sentence, and its execu-
ton. It is to receive nice fruit aud no.
tice it, to be shown natural curiosities and
describe them, to be everywhere at all
times, and to be able to answer all ques-
tions on all subjects. 1t is to publish too
much sentiment for one, too much poll
tics for another, and too little news for
all. 1t is to mako dozen enemies to
one friend, and to be pitched into by any.

grieyed. IL is to take complimentary
tickets to everything and pay for them
in complimentary notices. 1t is to be
bored by friends suggesting how you
should carry on your business, and bull
lied by those whom you have hit in vul-
nerable spots. 1t is life of mingled
good, III, trial and triumph, never ending
felicity, wherein you work out your allot-
ed time, with the "devil' always at your

''What are you willing to give for it ?"

"Oh of course. But | mean, Mr..

"Double price if / choose; but

your own paper, you should not attempt

Courier says:
. Part fifth brought the monstrous
wild cat 'Davy Crockett in the ring.
This is, perhaps, the largest wild cat ever
captured in America. A number of fe-
rccious bull terriers were on hand to en-.
ter into the contest. The first was good
sized brindle bull dog, who seemed some.
what dubious about making an attack.
He was finally showed into the ring.
and at once made for the cat but she
caught him at once and topped him on
his back, sending her claws into his skin
and lacerating him terribly. The dog

he succeeded in getting loose, when he

carried him over the heads Of the epthn.

a chain, which barely admitted Of her
reaching the edges Of the ring, could on

the dog retreatcd. The brindlc dog was
thrown in the ring four or five times, but
after brief struggle leaped out, howIiDg
each time.
The next dog turned in was the game
Captain but he evidently mistook his
game, for he also set up howl when the
cat rivcted her claws in bis flesh. They
struggled for some time until Cap. got
loose, but he showed no signs Of leaving
the ring. After barking at her several
minutes, he vas pushed on the cat. when
she again tumbled him, aud they fought

after which he faster ed his teeth in her
throat, and, no doubt, would have killed
her if he had not been taken of. The cat,
however, proved game, and never squeaIed
once during the combats.
Part sixth concluded the exhibition
and it was the most exciting of all. The
wild cat Satan" aud the imported bull
slut Jimmy were pittcd. The fight was
terrific, both the dog and cat being the
same wcight-twcnty-two pounds. They
threw each other in rapid succession with
great force. The ferocious slut got her
hold on the jaw of the cat aud hung fast

SECRET OR0ANIZATIoNs,-Th Radi-
calls shrink from public scrutiny. Hav-
ing ruined the county. impoverished
the people, and resolved to reyolutionize.
the Government by usurpation of power,
they dare not expose their doings to the
public gaze. They choose darkness rather
than light, because their deeds are evil.
They meet in secret conclave to plot trea~
son, to concoct plans for the overthrow
Of constitutional liberty and republican
government, and to secure power by in-
proper means. There can be no other obs
ject in secresy. Whena political party re-
sorts to such measures to prevent the
community at large from knowing its OBJ
jects and purposes, it stands convicted Of
treachery TO the people. Why disguise
their acts if they are good? Why keep
the people in ignorance if they arc their
friends? The old Know-Nothing leaven
is at work among the destructiyes, and
they hope by prescription and secresy to
accomplish what they know would be i'm
possible if the people understood their de-
signs. The organization known as the
Grand Army of the Republic and Freed
om's Defenders, bode no good to the Re-
public. These secret conclaves mean sla-
very to the masses. They have been
brought into existence for no other pur-
pose than to force Radical measures upon
the people against their will. They pre-
tend 70 adhere to the forms Of law, but It
is upon the principle Of "heads | win, tails
you lose" If they can carry the elections
and are allowed 10 have their own way they
will becontent; but, if the people repndiate
them, they intend to force their measures
at the point Of the bayonet. That is the
meaning of the Grand Army of the Re-
public Under such circumstances, the
duty of all the conservative elements of
the country is plain. They must come
together aud act in concert for the salva-
ton Of the country and the preservation Of
their liberties. They should organize
themselves into clubs in every neighbor-
hood and prepare for the great struggle 10
to take place next Fall. Their only safety
is in overwhelming the plotters for thier
dcstruction.-iSan Francisco Dispatch.

How Poor MEN Pay TAxEs,-
Sometimes we hear men say: Well,
if taxes are high they can't tax me
much l havn't any propcrty!" Can't
they tax you much? Well let US see.
But, in the first place, you have prop
erty. You are the owner of poor body,
which you are striving to watch and
warm and keep soul in. Perhaps you
have wife, and more than likely fam
lily of children. They all have to be
fed and clothed and warmed. You may
not own houses, or stocks, or bonds, but
you have property, nevertheless, and of a
kind which is taxed ten times over more
than any other description. The tax
may not be direct one, but it is heavy
one, and one which you find it hard to
bear. You may be paying it, even with
out knowing that you pay tax, attribut-
ing it all the while to something else;
but that doesn't change anything. 1t il
q tax all the same, and you are obliged
to pay it. IF you ask, then, how are you
taxed, we answer, on everything you eat
and drink and wear Almost on every
breath you draw! You are taxed SC
many ways that we cannot enumerate
them. Peoria (W.) Democrat. i

we find the following: "This note is a
legal tender for all debts, public and pri-
yate, except duties on imports and inter-
est on tho public debt, and is receivable
in payment of ALL LOANS made to the
United States" For insisting that the
contract the government made with the
people shall be lived up to the letter,
the Radical press-paid tools of bond
hoIders-asserts that the democracy are
in favor of Reputation. This is a lie.

CONGRESS SHOWN UP By REPUB-
LIcAS.-That prominent Republican
journal, the New York Commercial, IN
reference to the Rump Congress proceed
ings against Judge Field, of the Supreme
Court thinks that nothing will come out
Of all this, but that the resolution is .
fair illustration Of the partisan action of
Congress, and the terroaism they seek to
inspire in all over whom they have the
control. An editor says:
"If general ofends them, they legis-
late him out of his commission. If the
Supreme Court is supposed to hold the
same opinion of certain laws of Congress
that Thad. Stevens does, namely, that
they are outside the Constitution, the
Supreme Court is to be shorn Of its pow
er. If a judge gives expression to his
private opinions he is to be impeached,
it is all intolerance, bigotry and despotizm.
The acts of congress cannot bear the
light, and Congress is determined that
they shall be accepted in the dark, and
as to effect the partizan and un-
patriotic purpose of their farmers, who
care more for an election than they do
for country. The radicals are getting Q
good deal of rope lately and the usual re-
suit is sure to follow" z
