Senator Logan of Illinois, who has special
charge of it, because he cannot raise It
from the table and get It on its passage.
Chicago ought to be satisfied with the ap-
preparation of S4,0O1000, which she re-
ceived from the Government to aid her In
recovering from the effects of the terrible
conf1agration, but the more help she gets,
the more she seems to want, and the more
numerous her necessities become, and If
the brakes are not put on soon the Chi
cago delegation will mCdestly request the
government to rebuild the destroyed city
entire at the public expense, and succeed
in procuring the passage of bill to that
effect. We believe in extending aid and
comfort to the poor and needy, but we
cannot conscientiously ask the tax pay.

"A certain citizen of a certain town
went to the cars to see his daughter off
Securing her seat he passed out of the
car, and went around to her window to
say parting word as is frequently done
on such occasions. While he was passing
out OF the car the daughter left the seat to
speak to friend, and at the same time a
prim- looking lady, who occupied the seat
with her, moved up to the window. Un-
aware of the important changes inside,
our venerable friend hastily put his face
up to the window and ,hurriedly exclaimed
"One more kiss, sweet pet" In another

To the Editor Of the jour mall.
The Sentinel of yesterday contained
copies of the vouchers filed during the
time held the office of State Printer, in
1865 I did not see any of said vouchers
from the time they were sworn to, until
my attention was recently called to the
fact that several of them had been changed
both in the dates and amounts, excepting
the vouchers paid May 20, 1865, for S3,-
794 90, and September %, 1855, for So
39S 90, upon which drew the money,
and about the correctness Of which there
is no question.
The charges specified are not in my
handwriting, and / had no knowledge,
either directly or Indirectly, that they had
been changed until recently.
The Sentinel ii the course of its remarks,
says:
1--WE understand that Colonel Hollo-
way intimates that the State officers had
hand in these swindles. If that Is his
suspicion, we will ask Colonel Trusler,
Hon. I. B. McCarty and General Kiu-
ball to rise and explain. 1hereis no mis-
take about the tampering with the vouch-
ers, and somebody has profted by the
swindle, and if it is not Colonel Hollo-
way, who is the guilty party ?"
l never 'intimated" that the State Off
GERS, or any particular person, had changed
the vouchers alluded to. Ali | know
about it is, that they have been changed,
and that never profted to the extent of
one farthing by the changes, nor did l
draw the money upon any voucher where
the amount had been increased after it
passed from the hands of the book-keeper
of the Journal Office.
l invite the attention of the Attorney
General to any charges that have been
made, or may hereafter be made regarding
my official ,nduct as State Printer. And
am ready to respond to any suit which
he may institute, and to prove what the
truth is in relation 20 all accusations.
W. r. HOLLOWAY.
The office of State Printer has always
been given to men who could bring in
fuence to bear upon the members OF the
Legislature, without any regard to q
knowledge of, or fitness for the position.
The influence is brought about by combi-
nations, formed, generally, by corrupt
partisians.

A stammering Wife.

By J.. G. SAKE.
When deeply in love with Miss Emily Pryue
I vowed if the lady would only be mine
[ would always endeavor to please her
She blushed her consent, though the suffering
lass
She said never n word except you're az ass
An assam ass-iduous teaser"
But when we were married. I found to my ruth
The stammering lady had spoken the truth;
For often in obvious dudgeon,
Shed say-f ventured to give her jog
dog a dog-matic curmudgeOn."
And once when said, "a We can hardly afford
This extrayagant style with our moderate
board"
And limited we ought to be wiser.
She looked, assure you, exceedingly blue;
And fretfully cried. You're Jew-Jew-Jew-
Again when it happened that wishing to shirk
Some rather unpleasant and arduous work,
I begged her to go to neighbor,
She wanted to know why L made such fuss.
And saucily said, You're a cuss-cuss-cuss-
cuss-
You were always a-cuss-tomed to laborP'
Out of temper at last with the insolent dame.
And feeling the woman was greatly to blame
To scold me instead of caressing,
mimick ed her speech, like a churl as am,
And angrily said =" You're dam-dam-da
A dam age instead of a blessing"
