not one word has ever been heard about
the spoiled bacon, except one shoulder,
and this was returned from the Infirma-

son.
Now for the violin strings. Mr.. Schu
marher, was Director for two years.
Do you wish to make the people believe
that bought 50'cents worth of violin
strings per month all this tijne2 IF, so
it would be about Sa4, Areyou not
ashamed of such charges? The truth
IS, we had poor blind man in the 1nfr
mary who,oh long winter evenings, would
amuse himself and those around him
with his violin. l think we got him about
three or four strings. Ask Mr. Schu-
macher to let you see his book; the
strings were got from his store
Imust stop following Mr. Schumacher
at length. His charges are all of the
same class and without any foundation
His charges against Mr. Spence and Mr..
Fisher, for receiving money from us for
harvesting, are not true. AS 10 the
charge of hauling wood to town, I dare
Mr.. Schumacher, or any other man, to
show the fact. / shall not attempt to
answer the slang thrown at me it is be-
meath my notice,
Mr. Schumacher says, in conclusion,
that Mr. Fisher received S5T 90 which is
not to be found on the books--which he
| is ready to prove, and saying, Figures
will sometimes lie
If this is true, who is to blame Mr..
Schumacher made the last settlement
with Mr.. Fishrr. Why is it notinn the
booksg | think it is about this: Mr.. S.
refused to pay Mr.. Fisher his last pay
mont Mr.. Fisher entered suit, ,and,a jury
of six good men told Mr. Schumacher
to pay Mr.. Fishers claim with interest.
II this is not the case,what is the reason
the books fail to explain?
Now, Mr.. Schumacher, do you not
think we had better stop this controver-
sy2 II is only laughing stock for those
not interested in the matter. But do as
you please; write again if you think
best ;send it to Columbus for publication
as you did your last letter; all / ask Of
you is to stick little nearer to what is
true. If / am compelled to answer
again shall examine the books in the
Auditors Office to see who is (and was,
che owner Of the store from which your
son sold goods to the Infirmary; who
made return of said store to the Asses
isor, and made oath to the same. Also,
who was the man that wanted to sell all
the fat hogs belonging to the Infrmary,
lafter the poor had raised them and made
them fat by their own labor; and to buy
a few old sheep for the poor to winter
on. But I suppose Mr.. jackson or Mr.
Doagherty will answer your next.

The Story OF Game OF Cards
seiroSe M dc a and q French Cons Consul.

One hot afternoon in the month of
August, 1867, three men sat around d
table in a private parlor at the Hotel
Darinstadt at Ems, Germany,takin such
comfort as they could derive from the
juice Of Rhenish grape and a pack Of
cards The most conspicuous figure Of
the group was large man with bald
head, grayish blue eyes, heavy light
colored mustache, airs about him that
would have done honor to the imperial
purple. This person had even then
achieved some fame, and was tclerably
well known to .reading people BY the
name of Bismarck. Next to him sat
another bald-headed individual, inferior
to Bismarck In stature, with border Of
black hair about the base Of his skull
that looked like the. rim. of an old felt hat
ruthlessly robbed of its crown, condemn
ed remain there as permanent fixture.
During the Crimean war, the father Of
this man figured at the Cabinet councils
in ST. Petersburg as Count Ne,selrode
but the son was only known as q clever
gamesteriand ha6itue of the fashion
able European watering places. The
third member of the party was a little
fellow ESQ little that his feet scarcely
touched the floor, with dark, piercing
eyes, swarthy skin, and vivacity enough
for half dozen ordinary men. At the
time Of which we speak he was the
French Consul at Stuttgard. All of
them had been partaking freely Of wine,
and each in turn shufaed the cards with
a vim that the generous grape imparts
even to the most phlegmatic tempcra-
ment. The Frenchman, in the interlu-
des Of the play. kept up running fire
