Monday, July 5, 1871.

THE Union seems terribly agitated over
the result Of Postmaster Haverstick's rails
ing the rent Of Post Office boxes, and fears
he will lose his position. All that is necss-
sAry is q little backbone. The people Will
come to it-they will be obliged to. Haven't
they stood imposition and grinding taxation
for ten years, and still voted the radical
ticket. Come, come, Mr.. Postmaster, don't
shake so. No one has the least idea of So
preceding you. Cheer up, man, and be as
bold as a sheep. Tell the grunblers, as
Hawley did the workmen on the Island,
detection is over"
"ThAl they thought their places to hold,
Yet election was over and they were sold,
And he the slick NJ. o. did sadly lack
A noble stiffness in the back
One of these deluded workmen has oom'
mitted the following stanzas to memory, and
makes his children repeat it at the close Of
their evening prayer. He was one of the
men whom HAvley promised should have
work all winter:
when you seq q politician
Crawling through constructed holes,
Begging for some fat position,
In the ring or at the polls,
With no sterling manhood in him,
Nothing stable, broad or sound,
Destitute of pluck or ballast,
Double sided all around;
Walk yourself with frmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and marrow
Just the thing which his must lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this, backbone.
The workman now has another place, al
will vote just as he pleases, next time.

CundranQo,

The most ingenious dodge that we have
heard of lately is that connected with the
new cancer remedy, quadrangle. It will be
remembered that 1t was announced to be s
discovery made in South America. An In
dian woman, whose husband was slowly
dying with csGcer in the stomach, wishing
20 cut short his suffcrings, fed him with
poison. To her great surprise, instead OF
killing him he recovered, the poison killed
the cancer and be regained his health. /.
was announced that the American Minister
had secured a quantity Of this valuable
plant, and the medical department were to
experiment with it in one of the army hos
pitfalls. 1t is now said that they have
pronounced the whole thing a pure humbug,
gotten up solely to give a new patent medi-
cine u start. Ii so il. is the smartes; dodge
ever undertaken. AL Of the papers hsve
leaders on Cundrango, and it has been
talked about and expatisted upon ell over
the Union.

Fat EGen.


From the Trade Journal.
1t is a striking fact that most persons
want to weigh more than they do, aud mes
cure their health by their weight, as if a
man were a pig, valuable in proportion to
his heGviness. The racer is not fat, t. good
pillow horse has bur a moderate amount OF
flesh. Heavy men are not those which ex-
perienced contractors employ to build rail
roads and dig bitches. Thin men, the world
over, are the men for endurance; are the
wiry and hardy; thin people live the longest.
The truth is, fat is q disease, and as a proof,
fat people are never well q day at q time
are not suited for hard work.-Still, there is
a medium between fat as a butter bal and
as thin and juieeless as a fence-rsil. For
mere looks, moderate rotundity is most
desirable, to have enough flesh to cover all
augularities. To accomplish this in the
shortest time, a man should work bat little,
sep q great part OF the time, allow nothing
to worry him. keep always in a joyous,
laughing mood. and live chiefly on album
mates, such as boiled CRACKED wheat, and
rye, AMI oats, and corn, and barley, with
sweet milk, aud butter milk, and fat meats.
Sugar is the best fattener known.

Bowen tho Riramisf.

The efforts If Mrs. Bowen to procure the
pardon of her husband, sentenced to prison
as a bigamiIt, are worthy of oil praise.
Indeed there seems to be a mystery sur.
rounding this case. Mayor Hall, OF New
York City, has petitIoned the authorities to
pardon him in order to have him testify
against the deputy clerk who issued him
fraudulent divorce papers. But is not
Bowen guilty of having these divorce papers
issued ? Did he not corrupt the clerk?
To pardon him in order TO prosecute the
clerk is ~dischsrRing the principal and com.
hitting the assistants. A little prison fare
will do Bowen good, and will tend to cool
his amatory passion, though we cannot but
sympathize with his wife.

For ak days he would probably be able to
live but on every seventh day, ualess he
could find some way of proftably breaking

living. A mar SO situated, if not an idiot,

l have been q great sufferer from that awful

all night, and all the next day, and generally,
though not always, goes off during the second

and often two or three times, always combining
me to my bed for about thirty-siK to forty hours,
and paining me SO t srribly that il seems as if my
head would burst open in spite OF skull and
everything else. A persons hand would be
thrown entirely of by It's throbbiBg. In short
suffered agony indescfIbable. Our best Physl-
clans failed in my ease, and I have used most o
the popular remedies sold, which are recommends

only failed to cure me, but seemed to sggrayste
