Our friend, Sterling Alternately, Esq
is a great lover and grower of fruits, and
has heretofore succeeded better than his
neighbors in keeping apples through the
winter. We ate some of those apples last
Monday, which were as fresh and plump
as if they had just been plucked from the
tree, and he promises to bring US more
of them in May or June, to show us that
they may he kept till apples come again.
He has simply laid a foor'in his spring
house and made an apple bin of it The
apples are gathered in the fall and emp~
tied into this Tin, and are never after
wards disturbed, not even to assert them,
until spring None of them have frozen
or rotted during the past winter. The
evaporation from the spring keeps them
in healthy condition.-PulaSki Citizen

Commodore MaurY,s PRAYER.

The following prayer was used by
Commodore Maury every day for nearly
forty years previous to his death:
''Lord Jesus, thou Son of God, and
Redeemer of the world, have mercy upon
ne pardon my sins, and teach me the
errors of my way. Give me new heart
and n right mind Teach me and all
mine, to do thy will, and in all things
keep thy law. And teach me also to ask
those things necessary for my eternal life.
Lord pardon me for all my SINS for thine
is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory forever and ever; Amen"

The recently enacted funding bill is
nothing more nor less than tub thrown
over to the bond holding whale, and the
tax payers have, or will have, good cause
to double damn the members who voted
for it. In order to stave off a past due
debt ofless than 81, 100000 for forty years
they will be required to pay over $l3,-
10000 as interest alone As the Dutch
says, "mine Got, vat a kountry and vat &
neonles."

ing Agents, St. Louis, Mo-" By reason~
able showing and fair promises they IN
duced Us to insert several advertisements
IN the BULLETIN, one of which was for
Ticknor & Co, but we have never been
enabled to collect cent from them. We
suppose that the firm is frat class dead
beat, and in case our opinion proves true
we hope some Of the st. Louis papers
will "show them up in the proper style"
Right here we will take occasion to say
that NO advertising agency need send
copy of advertisements to this Office for

the money accompanies the order We
have been swindled enough by disguised
cormorauts and shall hereafter stick to
the sure and safe side of the question.

Senators SmithsOn, Morgan, Warren,
Hamilton, Melton, Snipes, McKenna, and
Lacey, have entered a strong protest
against the Funding Bill recently enacted,
l. Because they 40 not think 1t will
permanently improve the S ate crealt
but on the contrary, that funding the past
due debt viii injure it by increasing the
debt, and thus making it the more dith'
cult to meet.
2 Because it is bad fin ancial policy.
3. Because It's provisions are injurious
and oppressive to the people.

The funding bill has made no favorable
impression upon the minds of Northern
capitalists. In case the Governor does
call for an extra session it would be quite
wholesome for the honorable members Of
the Legislature if they would repeal the
abominable subtifugs in toto. The bill
as passed, is disgrace to the enlighten-
ment of the age. 1t does not contain a
single feature possessing enough pre-
serving essentials to keep the whole con-
Germ from sinking.

Mr.. Editor: One of the most detestable
and disgusting scenes l have ever wit
messed is to hear young man calling an
old gentleman by his Christian name, as
"Bin, or how are you John" or "Abb,
have you the BULLETIN" etc, ETC. This
should be guarded against by young men
of dignity and virtue; orit shows a like
of good breeding; land | am inclined to
say a deficiency of natural sense }
they should always use the phrase Mr.,
to old gentlemen especially. If you do
not respect the person, have seine res
spect for old age, treat every body with
kindness and always be ready TO say
kind and clever word to every one you
meet, and never be ashamed to do what
is right; nsyer be wary of we'll doing.

liz the Constitutional Convention in
Pennsylvania it has been resolved to
provide for biennial sessions Of the Leg
islature. Members Of the House are to
be elected for two years and Senators for
four. The language of the proposed
Constitution in relation to this, is al
most identical with that in the new
Constitution OF West Virginia. 1t is a
sufficient answer to the croakers con-
cerping our new Constitution to show
the fact that its main provisions are APP
proved BY Conventions in other States,
and are being incorporated into State
Constitutions elsewhere.

SOM of our citizens are occasionally
heard groahing over the heavy taxes
they are required to pay, and resolutely
oppose any work of public improve
ment lest their taxes ehould be increased
while paying for the same. In the
city Of Wheeling, municipal taxes are
limited by the charter to fifty cents on
one hundred dollars as the maximum.
Let US see how this compares with
Pittsburgh. The Commercial OF yester-
day states that the city tax for 1873 has
been fixed by the Council at eighteen
mills on the dollar in the old wards
and twelve mills in the rural wards
sl.S0 on the hundred dollars in the
FIRST case and sl20 in the lat
ter. In addition to this a special
tax Of FIVE mills, or fifty cents on the
hundred dollars, is levied for the fire
department alone. This, as we under
stand it, is exclusive Of all State and
county taxes, and provides revenue for
municipal purposes alone. If the peo-
pie Of Wheeling were willing to be
taxed OF this rate the city might easily
secure all the improvements that are so
much needed and would take a long
step forward in the path Of prosperity.
There is that scattereth and yet in
creaseth; and there is that withholdeth
more than is meet, but it tendeth to
poverty"

EXIT POMEROY.

Senator PoxsRoY, Of Kansas, seems
to be fairly caught OF last and will find
it impossibis to escape. He has been
intriguing for reelection to the United
States Senate, and seems to have relied
upon the potent influence of bribery, in
accordance with modern custom, The
market price OF votes in the Kansas
Legislature seems to rule high this
season, and PoxsRoY agreed to pay one
of the State Senators named YORK the
muuificent sum Of $4,000 for his own
vote and those of such friends as he
might be able to control. Two thou
sand dollars was paid down, when the
bargain was made; five Thousand
dollars was paid last Tuesday, and the
remaining one thousand was to be paid
after the election. On last Wednesday
the Legislature met in joint session to
elect a Senator, when Mr.. YORK made
a clean breast Of the whole transaction
and, producing the seven thousand dol
lars he had received from PoNsRoY'
handed it over to the President OF the
Convention for the use of the State. VI
course, PoxERoY was not elected, but
Hon. JOHN J. INGALLS, was; and the
Senator who has been irreverently nick
named "old beans" was Immediately
arrested for bribery and held to answer,
being admitted to bail in The sum OF
$4,000. .-
There have been many rumors In
circulation during a number OF years
past that were decidedly prejudicial to
Mr.. PoxsRoY's reputation for honesty,
Several transactions in which he has
been engaged have given forth = very
decided odor Of corruption, but he has
been generally successful in suppresslng
investigation, and the interests OF 10y
atty" have generally demanded that a
large amount Of whitewash be used in
bis case. He is withal, a man Of great
sspctimoniousness and ostensible piety.
He regards his religion as so much
stock in trade and makes money out OF
bis pretended worship. He robs with
a pious air aud returns thanks for .
successful swindle. But this latest case
Of bribery is so glazing and the evidence
10 90 direct that it seems impossible tor
him to escape. Having failed to secure
reelection to the Senate, his power 's
broken ar d there is at least reasona-
bic prospect OF his being brought to the
punishment his offenses have msrlted'
