what Public Men Que so Newspapers.

Colonel Forney complain, in veil
written article in the Philadelphia Pes,
that public men are, "a 4 ciass, ungrsieiBl 10
the newspapers and the journalists to whom
they, in many instances, owe their position.
Nobody IL more competent 10 speak On Ibis
subject than Colonel Forney him elf He
has made more statesmen out Of small ma
terial than any other man in America He
of American politics in the last twenty
years than almost any ether man. Much of
his work has been that Of politician rather
than that Of journalist /; but in either ca
pscity he has always been able to serve his
friends well, and he hss always served them
f,ithfuIly. His reward has been very small.
II he had let polite. alone and devoted him
self exclusively to journalism, he might
hare made Z greater name than Gree.ey's,
and fer greater iortuye than Kenneth. Bat
he was always fond of helping some friend
to an Office, snd alwavs had taste FOR poll
ical intrigue with purpose of this kind.
HIS experience has, no donb,, been that Of q
hundred Others, who had operated in the
same way on a small scale. Make q Gov
ernor out Of an Alderman to-day, and TO-
morrow he'll. tell you that be owes his eleva-
ton to his own superior merits. Forney
made President Of the United States out
of James Buchanan-but before that old
pnblic func;ionary had taken his seat he re-
pudiated his patentee and manufacturer in
most disgraceful m1nner. CoBgre@men are

1he breadth Of BeasD.

The Leavenworth TINES, which rarely
fayors any body. suggests John NJ. Price a.
. good man for United States Senator. In
the matter Of looks this is the best nomina-
ton yet made. In breadth Of beam. Mr..
Price equals Larimer and has the advantage
Of Osborn. He has no more dignity than
Mcfarland, but lie will ill c,irule chair to
better advantage. He wears better clothes
than KiDgman, and has more seif.confident
look than Harvey, who always appears ~ il
he was taking his hat to leave. for fear he
was trespassin& on your valuable time. He
has not the common. everyday, red headed
look peculiar to Cobb. or the Golddus. air
Of Kalloch, and be weighs more than .

Senatorial look than any Of them. We

sketch and put in the finishing touches.-

The charge that all the aristocracy, wea!tl
and responsibility of Massachusetts, is sr
rayed against Gen. Butler in his aspirations
for tie Governorship is not strictly true
While it is we'll known that the most of his
supporters are the bone and sinew Of the
etate-the workingmen-there are many
gentlemen of wealth and high social po-
sition who deem him the best candidate
that could possibly be presented for the
suHages of the people of the Bay State.
His manly attack on those who attempted to
dictate to the people of Massachusetts who
should be Governor, or who believed in
hereditory rights so far as that and other
Offices in the State are concerned, has won
the "Essex etateeman" hosts of friends.

Chinansna IN Love.

A Chinamsn, named An Gin, living near
San Francisco, recently fell desperately in
love with the daughter of hi- employer, who
very naturally did not return All Gins
psssion. lie continued his suit, however,
and even cut OF iis riG-!aii to make him
self more acceptable. Sae nevertheless still
Refused him. Failing TO win her heart, he
stole her photograph and worsbipped that
for time The counterfeit prsseniment,
however, had little cancellation for All Gin,
40 one day he took il and went to the house,
and info; med her tina; he had come to return
the photograph. The yocng lsdy ordered
him to burn IL, which 20 enraged All G;m
that he drew a pistol and fred s, her. She
fed in terror, and An Gin fred two more
shots at her. none of which took effect, how
ever. All Gin, supposing thai he had done
for her, then blew his own brains ont, and
happily succeeded in the operation. to every
ones satisfaction, especially TO the sstisfsc-
ton of the young lady cho had been the
object of this Celestial perecrnion. Tie
death of All Gin ia OF no epecial eonse-
quenceuce, but the fact itself il only another
remarkable proof of the aptness of the Mon
golian race in adapting itself 10 the customs
Of q country. All Gin had undoubtedly
been reading the newspapers, and di,coyered
that the prevailing fashion Of making love
Is with cold lead. 1t II only pity that all
the fools that make love with pistols do no,

To-day Leavenworth is the most prosperous
town on the Missouri river, from St. Louis

has got King Bridge Company at an eno,-
nous subsidy, and that the concern has gone
into bankruptcy, she voted an i'm

A singular Gaze of lock-jaw came under
the notice Of several reliable physicians a
few days ago. A gentleman well known in
business circles, and rather heauy weight,
suffered intensely from the heat. After ex'
perimenting with a number of cooling bev-
erages. he settled on c!aret Punches "a the
best "steady drink" fox hot weather, and
absorbed several of them daily through a
straw. Unfortunately he held the straw in
the same position as be did a cigar. in the
corner Of his mouth with the end resting
against his cheek. At the expiration
OF few days the intense
cold liquid had singular effect, and formed
an abcess in his cheek. Not knowing at
first what it was, he continued to dispose Of
his regular number Of punches. and was
soon taken with the lock jaw. DIR. Hodg-
den and one or two other physicians attended
him and with difficulty saved his life. They
we're at loss for some time to account f n
the singular affection, but on hearing his
story, all agreed tina; the ciaret punches were
responsible for the evil. The sufferer.
no. entirely recovered, il Oh. of
danger. He will in future avoid all crooked
and dangerous drinks, which ne now con-
siders a delusion and a snare. ami will
either take his straieh, or with sugar.
