Speaking of the state house swindle, the
New Boston Herald, republican paper,
says:
1t appears that about $S05,000 has been
expended on the new state house, and from
statistics shown at least 100000 has been
almost thrown away, or least has not been
put directly into the building. In the full
report of the expenditures since the expense
began (in 1867 we find long list of items,
and an outsider would think that the treas
urer's fund had been turned into "grab
Bag, and every man had taken what his
consoience would bear, or more properly
speaking, what he thought he could conceal.
The commissioners have taken $24, 900
for their service, allowed s., 700 fees to be
paid, and the architect alone will get not lest
than S., 1000, and so it goes; and Why such
heavy expenses are made il q thing entirely
beyond our knowledge, and seems to be q
knotty question for even our legislature tc
sum up with any degree of certainty.

DIFrIpENT PRorEssoR.-The q,

A DIFFIDENT PROTEsSoR.-Theg great
professors who can face the battery of a
thousand eyes directed to them on tho
rostrum are frequently the most difident
of men when taken away from their regu-
lar sphere of labor. There was Professor
Aytoun, who was too timid to ask papa for
his wife. When Jane Emily Wilson sug-
gcsted to him that before she could give
her absolute consent it would be necessa-
~ that he should obtain her fathers ap-
prevail" You must speak for me-" said
the suitor, " for l could not summon cour-
age to speak to the Professor on this SUBJ
ject. " Papa is in the library" said the
lady. "Thcn you had better go to him."
said the suitor, and I'll wait till you re-
turn" The lady proceeded to the library,
and, taking her father atfectionatcly by tho
hand, mentioned that Professor Aytoun
had asked her in marriage. She added,
Shall l accept his offer, papa? lie is SO
diifident that he won't speak to you about
it himself" "Then we must deal ten
derly with his feelings" said the hearty
old Christopher. "Ill write my reply on
slip of paper, aud pin it to your back"
Papa's answer is on the back of my DRESS"
said Miss Jane, as she entered the dwelling
room. Turning round, the delighted suit
or read these words: " With the authors
compliments"

Samples Of "Purc Governments"

=" The only hope now is in the Rcpub-
lican party. Around that organization all
the friends Of pure government must rally
or we shall be swampcd beneath a tidal
wave of official corruplion.' So says a
Radical journal to which the Albany
Argus responds in the following pertinent
comments:
For examples of;hc "puro government
the Republican party gives to the coun-
try, see:
l. ARepublican President at Washing
ton, who be,towcs his Cabinet Offices in
return for personal iavors aud gifts be-
slowed upon him.
,. \ Republican Administration which
spends one hundred and thirteen million
Of dollars more for ;hc current expenses Of
the Government than the last Democratic
Administration.
3 A list of three hundred Republican
dciaultcrs, who have pocaetcd twenty mil
lion of dollars Of the peoples money, and
have never dcen punished by the Admin
istration.
4. \ Republican Administration which
compelled the only member ut the Cabinet
who attempted to purity his Department,
to retire from Office, So that the thieves
and corruptionis's could carry on their
plundcrings undisturbcd.
S. \ Republican Congress which muz-
zled the Supreme Court until they could
pass a law by which Il Republican Presi-
dent could pack it,
6. A Republican Congress, which con-
trolIcd by lobbyists, has given away, so far
as any revenue TO the public is concerned,
but sold, 50 far as their pockets are con-
ccrned, vast tracts and hundred of millions
Of acres Of the public lands to gigantic cor.
porations.
7. A Republican President, who used
the secret service money of the Govern
mcnt to forward corrupt annexation
scheme for the benefit Of spectators in
San Domingo and their allies in this coun-
try.
But why multiply? These specimens
of the kind of" pure government" the Re-
publican party gives the country will do
for the present, Ought not the friends
of pure government" to rally for party
whose crowning achievements are mer-
ceuary ex-Executive, prohigatc Admin
istration, a corrupt Congress, and degrad-
cd Judiciary?
