SWindlers and Hunbuxs.

The modes Of swindling seem to be in
finite. No sooner is one discovered and
exposed than the ingenious gentlemen who
follow this business for living Instantly
have from one to dozen new devices for
obtaining money without returning an
equivalent. They belong to the great in
ventors Of the day, and certain it is that
for fertility of resources and adaptability
of means to ends, they are among tho most
successful inventors of the age. Their
plans are generally ingeniously contrived
and skillfully executed. Sometimes, how
ever, they change their tactics, and by the
very boldness and openness of the fraud,
succeed in allaying suspicion and dupine
the people. They are the most thoroughly
posted in the knowledge of human nature
OF any class Of men living. They are per-
fectly familiar with al the weaknesses and
frailties Of humanity, and know just how
and when to take advantage Of them. To.
day or this month they work for one class
Of men; Tomorrow or next month they are
fishing for another and entirely different
class. They are we'll aware that the same
kind Of bait will not catch all kinds Of men

As a Man Of Magnificent and kodel Ply
siQue-As an Author Of Autobiographies,
&C., &c.
In the Goodhue County Republican of the
10th inst, the late County Treasurer comes
out in '@card," in the opening sentence
Of which he informs US that he is going g to
notice" what he supposes is an 8: editorial
Of the tall man of THE GRANGE ADVANCE,
of March 11th." But for some reason or
other he doesn't notice it after all. Why
didn't he do so? Is his memory 80 short
thst Immediately upon making the asser-
tion he straightway forgets what he said
or did he come to the conclusion it would
be better policy for him to forget it?
After reading the first sentence sup
posed, Of course, he was going to meet, or
attempt to meet, some of the grave charges
that have been made against him. I sup
posed he was going to tell us sohy he had
bounded the farmers of Goodhue county as
though they were hogs in other peoples
fields. l supposed he was going to show
some urgent public necessity for having
dogged responsible and honest tax payers
with hired officers, and increased their al
ready heavy burdens of taxation by unnec-
esssry and hateful fees. I supposed he
was going to explain why the people Of
this county had been set upon BY these
hirelings, and threatened with having their
horses taken from their barns, with having
the sanctity Of their firesides invaded by
these hungry deputies. and their homes
stripped Of their furniture if they did not
instantly pay up the amount of the tax
with officers fees piled on, and why de-
fenceless women, under such threats as
these, have been driven out into the wintry
weather, and compelled to wade through
drifted SHOWS to some neighbor's house, in
order, if possible, to borrow money enough
to seve their furniture. I thought, per.
chance, he would even attempt to show
some reason for having placed extra depu-
ties behind the very counter Of the Treas.
urer's Office to mulct the unsuspecting taz
payer BY swelling his tax with extortionat<
and unjust fees. IS.

In my dealings with the Soandinavians I

ones personal appearance. Why every
feature Of his face is more powerful ar
gument in favor Of the Darwinian tbpory
than all the books Darwin ever wrote,
while his whole physical contour taken TO-
gether furnishes the most absolute proof
that some men at least descended from apes
and that too without improving the breed
But the close of his " card is the rich
est. He threatens me that if ever attack
him again he will write my " autobiogra-
ply" This, surely. ought to palsy my
pen, and it probably would did not know
that he can't possibly carry out the terrible
threat. rest easy under the impression
that one man can't write another's autod;-

ing PERSONS biography written by him

would write my biography. Ole ought to
have better idea of the size Of his intel
lect than to attempt to spread it over such
a large word. So should the young man
who wrote the 'scard," for Ole writes
"cards " by deputy just as he ran the
Treasurer's Office. I will subscribe ffty
cents toward paying the dry goods man,
for to have ones biography written by Ole
would be worse than to be murdered by

MARSHALL, LYON Co., MINI,
FEB. .24th, 1874.

FEE. 24th, 1874,
Editor Grange Advance. Red Wing, Him.:
DEAR S1R:-I read in your paper of the
11th inst, short sketch in regard to an
old man in Lyon Co. He is represented as
owning twenty-seven head of thorough
bred cattle. as having six hundred weight
| Of butter which he refuses to sell for less
than 25 cts. per pound, good lot Of wheat
which he is holding for $l.25 per bushel,
| and in addition to . fine farm he is repre-
sented AS having eighty acres Of good timber
"worth Aany day. $25.0o per acre." and
yet this old man is asking for help.
Now, Mr.. Editor, am personally &C.
quainted with this "old beggar," Rev. Mr..
Williams, and know something of his prop
erty and will give you list of the same.
1t is as follows, viz: two COWS, one year
heifer, two 2 year old heifers, one yoke
4 year old steers, two year old steers,
five yearlings and two calves. But am
compelled to say that they are genuine
thorough bred scrub stock, no better than
the generality of scrub stock in this county,
but as good as the thorough bred Of Red
Wing, as none but one Red Wing man pronoun.
ces Williams cattle thorough 6red.. Must
refer to some other than Red Wing man.
Our report came from Lyons County; no
Red Wing man knows anything of Mr.. WIS
cattle, to our knowledge. We supposed the
report printed by US to be reliable: glad to
be set right by Mr.. TED. ADvAScE.) Mr..
W. has one small old horse. (for which the
founders of this report about Mr.. W. would
not give $25 to-day.) As to his six hundred
pounds of butter he has not got it he only
MIXED three cows last year, and one Of
them two year old heifer, and they have
four adults in the family all the time and a
hired man part of the time, and they used
butter in the family ell the time, so that
the six hundred pounds is ell packed in one
three gallon jar. The wheat is in the same
fix; the crop of 1872 was so small that he
could not get a machine to thresh it, and
his fine farm is so stony that it would cost
him more than the wheat is worth to fix a
tramping floor, so he had to stack it and
wait until he could raise another crop to
thresh with it, and the threshing bill for
the two years did not amount to $19, and if
his family had not eaten anything which
had to be replaced out Of the great quantity
