A Fool and his Money.

The Allentown, Penn. Democrat re-
lates the following: "a short time
ago a stranger entered the ticket office
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad at this
place, and after looking around for a
while, he took q seat on one oil the set
tees and soon fell asleep. He had
with him package loosely rolled IN
an old newspaper, which be threw on
his seat before setting himself down.
While DOING away, he kept twisting
his body about in his seat, until at last
the paper covering of the aforesaid
package sprang open and disclosed the
fact that the contents were nothing
less than greenbacks, some of the bills
visible being of the denomination OF
$1,000. An effort was made to rouse
him up and make him understand that
his carclessness might lead to his fall,
ing into the hands of sharPers and
vultures constantly on the move IN
quest of such prey, but he was so
deeply under the influence of a pro-
miscuous assortment of liquors that
he was mot himself at alP-in fact,
was so far gone that he could neither
stand up, move about, nor be made to
understand anything said to him. Be
ing perfectly helpless, the depot Off
GERS took charge of bin. gathered up
his money ESTIMATED at no less than
$50, 0,0o0), put it securely in paper
bag, and then placed a guard over him
until the next train came along, for 1T
had by this time been ascertained that
the man belonged to Wilkesbarre. On
the train coming to hand he was given
in charge of the conductor, who, to
make matters safe, locked him and his
pile up in the mail car"

BIG NICK--A TALE OF OREGON
BY JOHN CLERkE.
[From Ballou's Magazine
CoNCLUDED.

CONCLUDED.
"Me good Injun-no kill me-" said
he, in a deprecatory tone, as we came
up.
NO." said Nick, "we wont kill you,
if you'll show Us where the bad Injins
is that killed the folks back yonder,
and burned their houses last night ;
but il you don't we'll skelp you first
and kill y ou afterwards. What dye
say Will you do it?
20 yes; me show you. Heap bad
Injin killem white man catchem heap
cum, catchem heap drunk. Me
show you, not INCH far, Injin gotem

Nick and LernoX exchanged CLAN
ces full of meaning, but said never a
word l believe that during the whole
time no thought OF their old rivalry
ever entered tleir heads Each
was anxious only to rescue Olive Bel
knap if alive, or avenge her death if
murdered, and either was willing to
give hearty support to the other in
any feasible scheme for the accom-
plishment OF either of these objects.
The fact communicated by our cap
tive, that the Indians hard fodnd rum
and whisky, and were drunk upon it,
gave US reason to hope that Miss Bel
KNAPP had escaped outrage, as her CAP
tors would be likely to attend pretty
closely 10 their drinking so long as
their liquor should last. But. it was
not impossible that in fit OF drunk
en- rage some savage might dash her
! brains out. 1t was nece ssary, in any
event, that we should hasten to her
rescue, since every moments delay
added to her peril. Placing the cap
tive between them, and guarding him
with drawn pistols, Nick aud Lennox
urged him forward as fast as they
could over rough ground and smooth,
until he informed us that we were
close to the Indian camp, and must
proceed cautiously if we did not wish
to be discovered The young savage
was really friendly to the whites, as
he afterwards explained TO US, and,
.although present at the massacre OF
the Dodd and Belknap families, had
taken no part therein, and only re-
mained with the perpetrators because
he feared if he went among the whites
they would kill him In revenge, for
want of a more suitable victim.
"Where are the Indians?" asked
Lennox, when our guide informed US
of their proximity.
Right over there, one big hollow
place. There heap Injin man wo-
men, too, and little Injin- One white
woman, heap purity -,
whereabouts is the white woman

Me no lie. Me good Injin-like white

Packing the Sapreme Court.
"The re:ersion of the decision of

thoughts rs to what is to become of
the authority of our courts, if the

tribunal of justice. From Hon. Carl
IShurz' Chicago Speech.
The President and his Relations
"ln our Judgment this drove of rel
atives of the President and the family
fattening, in public places, is an evil
spectacle. The general sentiment is
that it is at least in shameful taste -
Republican orators and editors, as a
rule, make excuses for the President
about his business, but they do it with
hesitancy and shamefacedness. They
usually claim that it is mere weak
ness of a man who has done so much
for his country that he is entitled to a
few fraiIties. The example of the
Chief Magistrate is, however, doing
mischief. Our public places are full
of families. Drunken sons and-stupid
brother-in law and worthless cousins
abound in the Federal Offices through
out the land, and greatly demoralize
the public service. Gin. Commercial
president Grant has placed his
cousins and brother-in-law by the doz-

chorus OF fatters exclain GA trife !

The cousins and brothers-in-law of

More Poison.

Since the Wharton case of Balti-
more attracted public attention to the
poisoning line of sensations, almost
every State in the Union has found it
necessary to produce modern Bor-
gia;" and in those few where the wo-
men inconsiderately declined to poison,
or reporters to invent, they have made
shit to emulate their more fortunate
neighbors with "modern Jeals," ,""Jeze-
bels," "Bloody Marys,'' and the like:
Such eccentric conduct, so long pur-
sued, has OF course, come to the knowl.
edge of sister countries, and among
others we find the press of England
emitting most doleful wall over the
degeneracy of American women
tn quoque line of argument is not a
very strong, but an exceedingly natur-
al one, and we have good authority
that people should judge not if they
do not wish to be judged. The glass
house from which these stones issue
presents two late cases of considerable
interest:
At Brighton, a very fashionable
watering place of England, lives a
Wiss EDMUNDs, a maiden lady Of ele-
CANT manners and rare accomplish
ments, somewhat passe in years, but
still fair to look UPON. She is de-
scribed as being somewhat eccentric,
wherein the reader will quite agree
before we have finished-in fact, she
might even be called frisky. Miss
Edmunds loved not wisely, but too
well, certain physician of high stand
ing, who was already afflicted with q
wife, and was heard to remark one day
that the Doctors spouse was too good
for this earth and would soon be trans
lated. So this lovely and eccentric"
maiden is charged with having intro
duced into the Doctors household
package of delicious chocolate drops,
from which she had extracted what we
children used to call the cream, filling
its place with arseuical paste. Madam
who really loved her, was on hand and
knew his trade. So far as it was
very trivial affair, but upon prelimi-
nary examination it was developed
that this chocolate confectionery had
been charitably distributed for six
months, and that every family in
Brighton who had sighted Miss Ed
munds in the slightest degree had by
this cause become afflicted with violent
ard death like sickness-none, how
ever, terminating fatally because Of
the smallness OF the dose.
The other case is from North Ian
canshire, where the wife of young
and wealthy land owner has been
amusing herself by mixing laudanun
with the coffee of some twenty guests
who were visiting her husbond during
the hunting season. In each cup there
was sufficient of the drug to kill two
or three, though the disagreeable taste
in each case prevented them from
drinking it. Fhe only explanation
given is that the young and pretty
wife was evoked" because the hus-
band had refused to invite one of her
old lovers.
v omit such affairs rs the Moon
murder, the famous nurse-maid slaugh-
ter, and several simple cases Of femi-
nina homicide that have occurred in
England within the present year, our
two cases being amply sufficient to as
sure US that we have much to learn
ere we can rival our mother couatry
in this accomplishment.

BACKBONE,

When you see fellow mortal
Without fixed and fearless views,
Hanging on the skirts of others,
Walking in their cast-of shoes,
Bowing low to wealth or favor,
With abject, uncovered head,
Ready to retract or waver,
Willing to be drove or led;
Walk yourself with irmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and
marrow
Just the things which his must
lack.
A stronger word
Was never heard
In sense and tone,
Than this-back bone.
When you see a Theologian
Hugging close some ugly creed,
Fearing to reject or question
Dogmas which his priest may read:
Holding back al noble feeling
Choking down each manly view,
Caring more for signs and symbols
Than to know the good and true;
Walk Yourself with firmer 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,
TLan this-backbone.
When you see Politician
Crawling through contracted holes,
Begging for some tat 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-slded all around,
Walk yourself with firmer bearing,
Throw your moral shoulders back,
Show your spine has nerve and
narrow
Just the things which his must
lack.
a stronger word,
Was never heard,
In sense and tone,
Than s-backbone
A modest song and plainly told
The text is worth mine of gold;
For many men most sadly lack
A noble stiffness in the back.

attend church. The colts exhibited
fractions spirit on the way over, and
after the service his wife declined to
ride home behind them. Mr.. Faber
then started to go home to get another
team and come back after Mrs. Faber.
On the way the colts started, ran
away, ran the wagon over q stump,

Mr. Faber was about thirty years old,

All the promises made by the pro-
jectors of this road, when soliciting
the aid of Congress, have been talsifed
The Radical ring by whom it was en-
gineered, composed in great part of
members of the Senate and House of
Representatives, are the only benei-
ciaries of this great job. They organ
lied the company, pat the bonds on
the market, pocketed the proceeds, and
after becoming enriched by the spoils,
have saddled not only the whole debt,
but even the interest, on the public
treasury. The last official statement
of Nj. Boutwell, tells the whole story
in a manner which leaves but little
doubt about the future of the road.--
In the first place, there is the principal
of the bonds. amounting to SOD 4,619,-
S32, not a cent OF which will ever be
made good by the company.
But this is not all. The interest on
the debt, Instead of being paid by the
corporation, has been drawn from the
Treasury to the extent of S12, ,692, ,475.
From tl.is large sum there is to be de-
Quoted So, 139, 106 for transportation,
leaving a balance due to the United
States of SO, $685. ,366 for interest. So
that, if the account were to be stated

Treasury would stand as follows:
