ANOTHER REDUCTION.

The monthly statement of the public
debt for September shows a further re-
duction of $4,000, 0OO-making a total
decrease since March Ist, of about $40
100000.
1t has not been supposed that the
September statement would show anv
reduction. Indeed, it was feared that
there would be slight increase, owing
to the fact that some very large dis
bursements had to be made during Aug
ust. The extent of those disbursements.

ENOCH ARDEN NOWHERE.

Enoch Arden cases are common af-
fairs. The class of romances known as
Enoch Arden affairs, so called from the
hero of poem by Tennyson, are of this
character: A married man, living hap
PLY with his wife, goes on voyage or
long journey, but is missing for years,
and is reported lost. Wife marries an
other man, and likes it. First husband
finally turns up, but not wishing to dis
turb his wife's present happiness, takes
his departure again, without making
himself known. Our town has had a
connubial romance, but it does not fit
the foregoing pattern. As the hero of
| it may appear to strangers as being
somewhat destitute of manhood, and
also lacking the feeling of well-be-
haved COW, we have concluded to entitle
our narrative
! EUNUCH HARD 'UN.
A man. with wife and child, lately
moved to our town, from that tabled
and unexplored region, the. Missouri
Bottom. Presently there came along a
brother-in-law-a widower, whose wife
! had been q sister of our hero's wife.
He took up his quarters in the family,
and became so friendly that he and the
woman occupied the only bed, kicking
the husband out to sleep on the floor.
The husband did not seem to take to
this order of things kindly, but brooded
over it; and getting madden all the time.
he finally arranged to swear out a war
rant for the arrest of the bed-fellows.
But on the morning set for serving the
writ, all three had left for parts un-
known. The matter soon ceased to be
talked of; but few days ago, gentle
man of this place, whose services had
been engaged in the anticipated lawsuit
happened in Troy, where he heard OF
the recent marriage of White Cloud
couple in that town and upon inquiry
ascertained that the couple were the
lintruding widower and the wife of his
host and still further, that the husband
had been present, as a witness to the
marriage! The gentleman, a day OIL
two afterwards, ran across the ex-hus
band, and inquired of him how hC
could be present as a witness, and no
speak out, when the question was asked
and say there were objections to tn;
marriage. The fellow replied that ht
had no objection, and knew of none
The gentleman asked him if the rela
tionship existing between. himself anC
the woman were not lawful objection
He replied that they were only related
by marriage, and as the woman didn'
want to live with him any longer, h.
didn't think the relationship amounted
to enough to make it an objection
Then the gentleman asked, how h
could sit there and quietly submit t.
: such proceeding, and still claim to b
man. His reply was, that the chill
was very troublesome, and as TIA
woman had agreed to take care of it, h
did it on account of the child!
The last heard of them, the whole ca
poodle had bundled up and again plung
ed into the IabVrinths of the Missouri
Bottom.-JPhite Cloud CHIEF.

neither the goose nor the rhinoceros
can fly far.
Here is a man. He is fireman. He
belongs to No. 10. If you are a good
boy, you will some day be an angel like
that fireman. 1t is dangerous thing
to be a fireman. They sometimes get
their heads broken.

SNAKEs.--Some three weeks ago farm
er named Mccoy, who lives near Mound
City, in Nodaway county, was riding
about in large fiat prairie bottom near
the Platte river, looking for good field
of grass where he could cut hay. The
river was high and out of IFS banks.
The bottom was covered with from six
to ten inches of water for four or five
miles in every direction. AS he was
quietly riding along through the grass
that rose out of the water, he suddenly
came upon a small mound, elevated a
few feet above the otherwise water-cov-
cred plain, and upon this were snakes
innumerable-thicka as thieves. He took
his stirrup from the saddle, went to
work upon them, and did not stop till
he slew eighty-SeUeR of the reptiles.
They were what are known as the pra-
irie rattIesnakes, and about two feet
long many of them wearing seven or
eight rattles. They were of course
driven to the mound by the rising of
the water. that element not being con-
genial. Mr.. Mccoy facetiously gave
the additional information that ''it was
not good day for snakes" We can
imagine he had a rattling time of it

Gen. Butler has been, in the interim
of his Congressional duties, trying a
cause, in his acute, exhaustive manner.
He appears as counsel for the defendant
in the case of Stowe VS.. Byron, and
publishes his pleadings and analysis of
the testimony in Boston paper. 1t is
unnecessary to say that, applying the
rules of evidence to Mrs. Stoves in
dictment of Lord Byron, as Gen. Butler
does, the Indictment is quashed. Gen.
Buffers review of the new famous By
ron article is scathing in its nature, and
leaves the lady nothing upon which to
rest her cause unless she produces new
and irrefragable evidence to sustain her
self. AS the case now stands she is out
of court entirely.

POISONED HOsIERY.-NumerOu dis
eases resulting from the wear of fancy"
socks have been reported lately. An
Illinois gentleman came near dying a
few days since, from disease of this
character. Some months since, DR..
Tardieu, of Paris, presented before the
academy of medicine the history of sew
eral cases which came under his obser-
vation, and which cases at fret were
also incorrectly diagnosed erysipelas,
&c. The doctor, not satisfied with his
diagnosis, and the remedies applied not
affecting the result he had anticipated,
paid his attention to the socks that his
patients had been in the habit of wear
ing. The socks were of violet color,
with round red stripes, and were i'm
ported from England. A chemical an
alysis showed that the violet color was
produced by analine, and the red by
coraline. The doctor then, in conjunc-
ton with DR.. Boussin, instituted a num-
be: of physiological experiments, in
order to ascertain the effects of this tox-
ical substance. By means of hypader-
mic injections they introduced under
the skins of dogs, RABBITS and frogs, very
minute portions of coraline. The re-
suits were that the animals died in from
two to four days. This is certainly a
matter deserving attention.
