TO HArsLErr 4 TAYLOR, for copying oul
late article on "Pride," and their kind
notices of this writer. Vanity prompts
and Modesty forbids the printing Of the
pretty words. Our "Pride" article is moi
so nice in composition, but it is awful true
Several other papers honor us with re-
print: We mention those whose Ions
personal friendship sort O. ties us togethe.
analgre all politics. Senator Ramsey IL
reelected in Minnesota, beating c. W.Nash
by % to %; Chandler is reelected in
Michigan; Will Cumback goes from
Indiana in place of I. A. Hendricks
How little fishes do swim through the
shallow places Of modern politics. "Bilr'
Cumback, one of the smallest of sardines;
once in Congress then Lieut.. Governor
of Hoosierdom, and now U. s. Senator
Thomas A. Hendricks, my old friend and
confTere, dort you think this is time
when there is no pitch, hot?.
The churches had a week Of prayer,
recently: We are waiting for results
Meat and Wood are high, and the little
barefooted fellows need both. In the elo-
quent language of over-pretensious 'loy-
atty" of Cenotaph-ism, the fathers of the
destitute children "died that the Nation
might liver' Beautiful words, but Of
what avail is patriotic sentiment toward
the relief of the widow and the orphan ?
Can you cheat Jehovah and his Beloved
One, the Immaculate? Dream no such
nonsense. One kind act to the afflicted
will weigh, in the scales of the Jerusalem
market, more than 10 thousand ems of
sham prayer. Prayer is the utterance of
the heart through the lips: if no heart,
no prayer......M MIR. II. E. Pierson of the
Fayette Co. Hotel, Clermont, has fitted

homo with him without extravagant
charge. Perry NJ. Waffle, late of the
Dousman House, is keeping a pleasant

''glozzy."
II. B. George, of the Cambrian, has
rented the east basement of the Lawyers
Block. Hereafter, persons can be served
with oil that is usually found in first
class restaurant. Oysters, Sardines,
Tongue, Tripe, &C., &c......Mr. Clough
and our friend Burgess of "out west"
bought pair of yearling pigs of Mr.. A.
Hart that weighed 964 pounds on the
McGregor scales. One hundred and
twenty dollars is a pretty good price for
two yearling pigs. Why don't all farmers
raise good pigs, instead Of the sharp-nosed,
crooked, warping-bars kind ?......C. Huff.
schmidt has used 100000 for pork at
Lansing this buying season. Charley and
p. L. Shaw are quarrelling about the
honesty Of their produce weights. City
scales will be the result. BY the way,
"Vol." was down here the other day, leav
ing G. II. at Pr. du Chen, for the reason
that "McGregor is too small to hold both
of us at the same time. "......Capt. Mayne
Reid sends us another Coward" IT'S a
splendid number 80. Reed & Tuttle Of
Chicago have published Western Month

wait for the second issue.

were among the best in the village--Loss

neighbors what they think Of paying Ry
