Slimmer's ACCORDION.

Simmer was peddler. On his way to
the Pacific coast, he stopped over night in
in village belonging to the Shoshone
Indians. Simmer amused his entertainers
in the evening by playing Kathleen
Mavourneen" upon an ACCORDION. When
he had squeezed out the tune three or four
hundred times, the Shoshone chief told
Simmer he would give anything to possess
such an instrument as that. Then hap
py thought struck Simmer. He had six
hundred pairs of bellows, which he was
taking out to settlement in Oregon, and,
without asqualm of conscience, he disposed
of. them on the spot to the chief at two
hundred and fifty per cent, advance on
the cost. That morning Simmer left. For
the next two days the chief remained at
home, working one pair of bellows after
another in q vain endeavor to evolve 'sKath-
leen Mavourneen" from the nozzles ; and,
when he had strained himself until he
burst three or four blood vessels, his wives
took hand. Then all the members of the
| tribe tried; and the medicine man seized
one pair and fled to the woods, and howled
over it and screeched, and sat on fence
and worked the handles up and down until
| he tainted, and not solitary note of
Kathleen Mavourneen' disturbed the
impressive solitude of that vast wilderness.
AndEthey caught white man and drove a
stake through him, and built bonfire on
his bosom, and made him try and he even
failed to organize concert upon the
Mavourneen basis. And now, whenever
you meet Shoshone Indian anywhere, he
always asks if you know man named
Simmer. They are looking for Simmer.
They want him. They want to lead him
out to some retired spot and remove his
cuticle, and chip him off little by little un-
til they work down to his skeleton.

FROM reliable information we are
led to infer that the return of cholera
at Erin, was on account of local
cause and not as an epidemic. Some
six or seven negro men were engaged
in digging out the accumulation of
leaves, ETC., in the creek at that point,
which emitted such a disagreeable
odor as to make all sick who were en-
gagged in the work. We also learn
that this water containing this refuse
matter ran into Mr.. Boon'sspring, and
that all who drank from the spring have
sickened and died. All the negroes en-
gagged in cleansing the creek have died
save one, Ned Eldridge, who was
brought here in a collapsed state on
Thursday, of last week, and placed
under treatment of DIR. Swift. We
learn that he was able to sit up and
eat last Wednesday, and is in fair way
to get well.

ITisa mistaken into which many have
fallen, that the oranges are organized
merely to war upon railroads and for
cheap transportation. They will make
war upon railroad extortion and abu-
ses, as well as upon those monopolies
that buy up weak and competing lines,
in order that extortion may be made
easy and the robbery of the people
more profitable to capital
The oranges also mean to dispense
with middlemen and save the vast
sums they absorb without rendering
any equivalent. And to show how
this effort is working, it is known to
be the fact that oranges in the north
west operating through their own
agents and dealing only with the man
ufacturers, have paid forty per cent.
less for reapers than when bought of
middiemen. Others have obtained
sewing machinesfor less than half the
price paid to agents of the manufac-
turers. Some southern oranges have
bought cotton bagging and ties fifty
per cent. cheaper from first hands
than from middlemen.
Every farmer of ordinary intelli-
gence will see from these few instan-
ces, how much he may save in all he
has to buy, through a cooperative
movement which proposes to pay no
profits to those who now come between
the farmer and the manufacturer, how
much he may save by selling, through
agents, his products to con-
sumers instead of Spectators, and
how much he may save by abolishing
the credit system-a reform which is
contemplated by the farmers move
ment. 1t is SANDER to impute to the
oranges no higher purpose than a war
upon railroads, when they embrace in
their scope of action, everything that
tends to the elevation of labor and the
of agriculture, as well as
everything that has tendency to pro-
mote social and public virtue and to
save, from the grasp of tyranny, gov
eminent once free, but now degraded
by corrupt rings and concentrated, ILL
gotten capital and its powers directed
to the curtailment of popular liberty
and making honest labor subservient
to an aristocracv of wealth.
