In Scotland they have insurance societies,
that furnish clerks, cashiers, treasurers, etc,
with bonds, upon the payment of certain
premium. This arrangement relieves the ap-
phcant for responsible positions of the disa-
greeable necessity to solicit the Endorsement
of individual bondsmen and at the same time
affords their employers preferable security. It
might be polite enough to introduce such
honesty guaranteeing companies in this coun-
try, and especially to have them extend their
functions to public corporations though it is
doubtful whether the great number of our de-
faulting public officers would not soon put an
end to the business.

An Iowa doctor writes of the remarkable
erasshoppers that do SO much damage in that
State "In my opinion they come from the
portion Of the British possessions. They are
a very hardy insect 1t takes quite breeze
to kill them. Immense one in water for three
hours, and he'll come TO and have better
masticative and digestive faculty than ever.
They will devouF arsenic with the avidity Of a
modern belle. When their wings are well de-
veloped they have better locomotive power
than the old Western Stage Company ever had,
and those that are here have at this date got a
wing development now Of about quarter OF
an inch, while the body is about three quarters
of an inch in length"

NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENTS.

The New York World, describing the trib-
paper correspondents, saps:
In the late war the achievements of New
York correspondents in the field We're often
as heroic as those Of any member of the army.
Like the courier who had to ride wherever
orders We're to be conveyed the correspondent
who faithfully performed his duty had to ride
wherever an important movement was to be
seen without undue regard to the quantity Of
lead and iron in the air. And when the army
was done fighting the enemy the correspondent
set about with more vigor than he imag-
ined was in him to fight time and his
brother correspondents in getting his letter
to New York Competition, which is proven
bially the life of trade, is doubly the life of
special correspondence. The life of blooded
horses is as nothing in the balance against
it when the correspondent. after having writ
ten quickest may beat his rival and achieve
a triumph for his paper by riding hardest and
fastest to the railway and the telegraph. Often
est during the war nothing was written by
special correspondents until the railroad had
| been reached and much of the best war cor
respondence published in New York was
written on the cars between Washington and
New York. Much ingenuity and enterprise
were often displayed by correspondents in
beating other correspondents to the telegraph
station and in keeping possession of the
telegraph after having once gotten possess
sion OF it. In one instance a New York
| correspondent in front of Petersburg stole a
march upon the rest and gave accounts of an
important action to his paper a day in advance
OF the others by chartering a locomotive en-
! CINE from the scene of battle for his exclusive
| use correspondent in Canada having got
ten possession of the wires kept half dozen
g brethren OF the press who arrived some
minutes laters, swearing and threatening, by
forwarding select passages from the Old
| and New Testaments for the ediication
OF the printers devil in New York, in
| the intervals while he was preparing in
stalments of his story. The Scriptural
passages, though good copy to the operator
were not used by the night editor at the
other end of the line neither were the accounts
which the outstripped correspondents had in
their heads and manuscripts, but could not for
| the life of them get on the wires. The special
correspondent must manifestly be man who
| will not be Kindred by small obstacles of what
ever kind The open secret of the newspaper
achievements which often excite the wonder of
unprofessional persons who contemplate them,
is that they are achieved by men of rare powers
Of physical and mental endurance and activity,
whose ready and disciplined powers respond
with almost unlimited elasticity to any pres
sure of work placed upon them.

A NEW LECTURE UPON AN OLD SUBJECT.

From the Cleveland Leader.
There is this about the Chicago business men
which keeps them forever on the winning side.
They do not wait for customers to find them
They advertise for trade, they go out and seek it,
merchant picking up Chicago paper in Omaha
OR st. Paul. can tell at glance what sort Of
wholesale trade is being done in Chicago, and
who is doing it. Every kind of business, from
the news stands and tobacco stores, to the heavi-
est wholesale trade, is constantly and conspicu-
ously advertised. The newspapers of other cities
carry no such evidence of home prosperity to the
country round. The passing stranger might read
the journals of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Pittsburg,
or Buffalo for days, without learning that these
cities have any wholesale trade at all. Indeed,
wholesale merchants Of this city, not to avail
themselves of the advantages Of advertising.
Whether similar compact has been entered into
in other cities, not informed, but COM
parson of the iberaty of the different Western
cities in respect to newspaper advertising, tells
most significant story. 1t is as follows:

An Outlaws Paradise.

The singular information has been received,
which is well authenticated, that a thieves
and outlaws paradise has been established at
the foot Of the Rocky Mountains just in the
Canadian Dominion. 1t is reported to num-
Der five hundred men and number of women
and children. The inmates are outlaws, who
have escaped from United States justice. The
chief occupation of the colony is the manufac-
trre of illicit whisky which is sold to sur
rounding Indians. For the liquor the latter
barter their most costly furs and trade off
their superfuous women. And while the no.
BILE red man is in the midst of his beastly orgies
the fiends manage to rob him of his weapons
his blankets. and strip off an occasional scalp
Yet the Indians passion for whisky over
comes his knowledge Of the inevitable fate he
knows await him.
The free and rowing life of these outlaws
has been made known to the Canadian Gov
eminent, which has sent out volunteer force
to settle matters satisfactory to the code of
civilization. 1t is mounted command of
policemen, of 300 men-the most fearless and
active in the Dominion, commanded by Col
onel who has seen active service. Adventures
of high rank have been attracted to dare the
dangers of the expedition, even English and
French noblemen. An English gentleman
was wrought up with SO much enthusiasm as
to forego the immediate possession of an
estate, with yearly income of $50, 900, that
he might take part in the expected fray Of
course the force will be kept under the strict
est military discipline. The pay is so small
that nothing save the spirit of adventure could
impel men to undergo the prospective hard
ships and the risks of death. The collision is
expected to come off about July 4, and either
the outlaws or mounted policemen will then
bite the dust.-Eimird advertiser.
The AMERICAN CARDINAL = The Chicago
Tribune repeats rumor without, however
giving the source from which it was obtained
that the question whether America is to have
cardinal at Rome or not, has at length been
settled The rumor is to the effect that the
honor will be conferred upon James A. Mac
Master, editor Of the New York Fireman.
Journal. The Tribune refers to the fact, not
generally understood, that this clerical dignity
is not necessarily given to ordained priests
not few members of the Sacred College hav-
ing risen no higher in holy orders than dea-
cons.
There are cardinal bishops, cardinal priests
and cardinal deacons, and of the latter class
are some of the most distinguished of the car
dinals Cardinal Antonelli. one of the most
notable princes of the church, is only cardi-
nal deacon, and instances might be given
where laymen have been made deacons and
Immediately thereafter made cardinals. 1t is
therefore not impossible that the rnmored dig
nifty may await Mr.. Manchester although it
must be admitted that it seems highly improb-
able

Is it any wonder, after a showing like this,
that Chicago and st. Louis have outstripped all
rivals, and that their merchants sell goods over
vast areas of country, which are naturally tribu-
tary to other but less enterprisng cities !? Cleve-
land has of late years manifested in some direc-
tons considerable of the spirit and enterprise
which have made Chicago supreme over all rivals.
1t will be an important point gained when our
mercantile men learn from those of the Garden
City the value of judiciously expended printers

THAT BABY IN TUSCALOO.

So you're all the way from Kansas,
And knew my Jennie there
Well, I'm mighty glad to see you
Just take that vacant chair.
You..dOnt seem much Of a stranger,
Though never here before
Jack, take that gentleman's beaver
And hang it hind the door.
What FIVE whole DAYS on the journey,
Comm by boat and car?
Good gracious who'd have thought Jenni
Could ever live so far ssS@
Away from the Youghiogheny,
The farm, and the mountain blue;
/ wouldnt believed it Of her,
And that's 'twixt me and you.
You say she's not very lonely:
Then she don't feel the worst.
What Jennie has got baby?
You should have said that first,
And now please repeat it over, X
/ can't believe my ear; ~
Just think my Jennie mother
Pshaw, now, what's this "a tear?
Here, Jack, run off to the kitchen,
Tell mother to come quick
Let the bakn' go to thunder:
Let her not strike lick
Till she hears the news from Kansas;
Twill make her very vain!
So yon knew the little ones mother?
Your hand; well shake again.
Perhaps you may think me foolish
For maxim such row:
But you must excuse an old man
Mind, I'm grandpa now.
Well, well, how the years slip by us,
Silent and swift and sly.
