to the faithful pay
ment of the public
debt according to law,
and we hereby express
our conviction that. .ac-
cording to the laws
under which the FIVE
twenty bonds were is
sued, said bonds should
be paid in the curren-

which may be legal

pared to redeem such

Now here is the point: What is the
use of a man going out of the party for
principles when he car find a complete
assortment init? II you are bond
holder, we respectfully call your attention
to our principles marked 1874" if you
are taxpayer. we triumphantly point
you to our package of principles labeled
1855"
What makes all this grave looking
tom -foolery irresistibly comical, is the
lofty announcement in the first resolution
of the platform of this year, that I'VE de-
mand of our public agents fidelity to
their principles; the execution of the
pledges made to the people" The pub
lie agents who could 60 back on "their
principles" or "their pledges" after the
example set by these platform makers are
certainly incOrriGihle.

THE VENDoME CoLUMN.-The Paris cor
respondent of the London Daily Telegraph
writes as follows:
''rhe Colonne Vendomc is every day rising
higher and higher, and it will attain its former
elevation about the beginning OF next Septem-
Der. TO speak by the card, it will be as high
as formerly, less the altitude OF its statue. For
it seems to be decided that the column Is to
have no capital, the edifce is to be LETT un-
crowned In this state it will be lit excmp-
lar ct France; it will appropriately embody the
provisional gUyerDment-the lmpersonal sep
tepnate. But is there not something like NOR
al cowardce in thus shirking the responsibility
of replacing the statue OF the man who IS lden-
tilted with the column? The figure in imperial
robes which the late emperor had placed on
the summit was considerably injured at the fall
of the column, but it could surely be repaired
as easily as the edifcc Of which it used to form
the ornament. Or, better still, lie petit capo'
RAIL- the still remembered figure IN cooked hat
and close buttoned great coat, might be again
hoisted up to the place from which he has
looked down on so many changes or govern
meut In all these changes the worship OF lie pet
it capora has never relaxed. Whatever the pre-
vailing faith OF the moment, If III France there
can be said to be any faith, and if any faith
can here be said to prevail, pride in the most
famous soldier of his time has never faltered.
The Republican Beranger and the Monarchlst
Theirs have done more to perpetuatc his glory
than the most devoted Bonapartist. There
surely could be no Improperly in restoring the
little corporal to his elevated sentry box. The
statue was relegatcd to the stumpy pedestal at
Courbcvoie which closes the vista Of the long
Avenue de la Grandc Armcc, and after the nth
of September it suddenly disappeared from
view. But faithful hands hid 1t 10 the Seine
until the tide of war had rolled away; so the
old statue is still forthcoming, and petit bon
homme Wit encore.
Guild STOLEN By ITS FATHER.--A little
child of Mrs. Waler's, about SIX years old,
living at this time 10 this place, has been miss
ing since last Friday at noon, and the supposl-
ton is that it has been stolen by its father.
Waller is an escaped convict from the Penlteu-
tary, who was, as We are informed, at work on
the Danville railroad. On Friday evening late
colcred man saw Waller making away with
the child and it is supposed he was taking it to
his mothers, who lives about SIX miles from
town. Diligent serch has been made to fad
the child without success, and the particulars
narrated above seem to have some foundation.

"Baron Boileau, who was sem
fenced to Imprisonment by a French
Court for his connection with the
Memphis and FL Paso Railroad affair,
is confined in the Conciergerie. =
Nine. Boileau is at Boulogne. She
and her six children live through the
generosity Of their friends. " To
many people Of Missouri (says the
st. Louis Dispatch) this brief para
graph will convey more than a pas
sing interest. Nine or ten years ago
Baron Boileau was the French
Consul at New York City, trusted
and respected by the Government,
and popular and accomplished in his
Intercourse with the people of
America. He married, while Consul
at New York, Susan, daughter Of
Colonel Thomas II: Benton. Tie
marriage was a most happy one.---
Baron Boileau was afterward up
pointed Minister to Ecuador, and it
was while performing the functions
of his office in that locality that he
was recalled and discharged by the
French authorities. During his stay
in New York he had became involved
in railroad schemes, and had been
induced in an evil hour to recon-
mend, in his capacity as nm official
agent of the Government, the nego
tiation of the Memphis and Ell Paso
railroad bonds. In this he violated
the plain law of his country. Rigid
IN all such matters, the Fre1ich
Government carried out the law to
its utmost and imprisoned him.
Fremont is d brother-in-law of the
Baron, and the same Court which
tried and found his connection guilty
also sentenced the General to serve
term of years. He made good his
escape from France, however, and in
absence of anything like an extradi-
ton treaty will probably keep it
good. There was once period in
the affairs of Missouri when Colonel
Benton was its political autocrat. =
Troubles not few have come to
those whom he nurtured and loved.
Mrs. Fremont is the wife of q man
who has been declared q felon, be-
cause of speculation which has
ruined his brother-in-law, bank
rupted his family, and consigned his
wife and children to charity. An
other daughter, Mrs. VIM, Gary
Jones, now a widow, residing in San
Francisco, California, has felt almost
terribly the misfortune Of life, and,
though not enduring all the priya-
tons OF extreme poverty, is support-
ing herself and children on the small
wages paid to her as teacher in the
public schools.

JONAH AND WILLIAMS.

The Springfield Republican draws
the following comparison between
the means Of transportation employed
by Jonah and the Attorney General;
Ever since Jonah introduced into
the world his peculiar method of Lord
Lovelling, the human race has taken
a deep interest in the transportation
question.
Indeed, certain animals and GER
tain vehicles have become famous
the Greek horse, for example, that
carried an army in its wooden bow
els; that winged trotter named Pega-
sus; the carriage inwhich Louis XVI,
attempted to flee from France. Now
comes an American landaulet, with
silver and silk bedight, and backs up
into the temple Of fame.
The contrasts between the present
modes of travel, and their concomi-
tants, and the ancient ones, areinter-
esting and instructive. To recr to
Jonah; His beast was fine one,
and its method of landing Jonah,
bag and baggage, on a foreign shore
was eminently simple and expeditions.
No Vile du Havre disaster ford Jonah /;
no official investigations as to wheth-
er he is managing his ship according
to the true methods ofnavigation; no
fussy inquiries about his register and
clearance papers; and nobody to ask
how he got his whale, anyway.
Things are somewhat different, now.
A distinguished ju1ist can't paint a
neat little monogram on a modest
family carriage without having his
sensibilities rasped by the coarse
sneers Of an unfeeling press
We don't hear Of Jonah's having
any monogram on his whale, and, as
far as we are aware, no contingent
fund has ever been mentioned in
connection with the affair There is
one point Of resemblance between the
two gentlemen, however: They both
got their rides free.

garden pulling weeds in his patch Of
tame strawberries, on n morning
when he took fancy for Ruth Lees
pretty facel She came down the
road looking as fresh as a new blown
rose, in her pam calico dress and
straw hat. Her brown hair, cut
quite short blew about her face in

bright cheeks made her as pretty a
picture as one often sees. Squire
Dudley saw her just as she came OPP
posite the strawberry patch, and he
called out "good morningr in his
brisk, CHEEKY way.
"Oh, good morning she answer
ed. "You almost scared me, Squire
Dudley; I didn't see you until you

A PECULIAR ORIGIN.

Immediately following the declara-
ton Of the last war with ENGLAND,
Ebbert Anderson, Of New York, then
contractor, visited Troy, on the
Hudson, where was concentrated,
and where lie purchased q large
quantity of provision beef, pork,
etc. The inspectors of these articles
at that place were Ebenezer and
Samuel Wilson, The latter gentle
man Invariably known as "Uncle
Shm") generally superintended in
person a large humber of workIten,
who, on this occasion, were employed
in oyerhauling the provisions pur-
chased by the contractor for the
army. The casks were marked "E.
A,-U. s." This work fell to the
lot of facetious fellow in the employ
of the Messrs. Wilson, who, ON being
asked by some of his fellow workmen
the meaning of the mark (for the
letters "U. S." for United States,
were then almost entirely new to
them), said 'he did not know unless
it meant Ebbert Anderson and
Uncle Sam Wilson" The joke took
among the workmen, and passed
currently; and Uncle Sam himself
being present, was occasionally
rallied by them on the increasing
extent of his possessions. Many Of
these men shortly afterward followed
the recruiting drum, and pushed
forward the frontier lines, for the
double purpose OF meeting the enc
my and Of eating the provisions they
had lately put in good order. Their
old jokes of course accompanied
them, and before the first campaign
ended, this identical one first appear
ed in print. 1t gained favor rapidly,
till it penetrated and was recognized
in every part of our own country,
and will no doubt continue to do so
while the United States remains q
nation. It originated precisely as
above stated, and the writer of this
article distinctly recollects remarking
at time when it first appeared in
print, to u person who was equally
aware Of its origin, how odd it would
be should this silly joke, originating
in the midst Of beef, pork, pickles,
mud, and salt, become u national
cognomen.
