That Colyar Circular.

The Brownsville States, which
supported Mr.. johnson for Con-
gress from the State at large, is
not at all pleased with the Colyar
Circular. 1t very sensibly and
pointedly says:
ga. S. Colyar, as the chairman
of an imaginary party, has issued
4 circular calling for convention
of those Democrats who saw fit
to support Dir. johnson in prefer
ence to Gen. Cheatham in 1872
We think the circular Of Mr.. Col
var is as nncalled for, as it is ut
ter!y without necessity or authori
ty. Because portion of the De-
nocracy Of the State saw fit and
proper to support Mr.. johnson on
account OF his great capacity and
experience for Congressman Tor the
State at large, it did not, by any
means involve a separation from
he party. Nor did that fact as
Mr. Coll ar alleges, necessitate a
convention TO make terms, either
from motives Of self respect, or OF
interest. with the Democratic party
of the State. General Cheatham
and ex President johnson were
both opep %ad avowed Democrats.
The support Of either Was not a
departure from the Democratic
iaith. The fact is. A. S. Colyar
IS a sort Of Henry S. Foote on IL
reduced scale. and is always en-
deavoring to push himself to the
front on the smallest possible ex.
cuse. This paper supported An
drew Johnson in 1872, knowing
and believing him to be a good
Democrat, and we neither need nor
desire q convention to bring US in.

"AlI in Favor of the Deal

They tell of a jolly sugar
planter who in the days of spe-
Gle and slavery found himself
in New Orleans with the pro-
cecds of his crop in his pocket,
anxious to invest them in the
pursuit of happiness. Having
duly primed himself at the St.
Charles, he was wandering a
long the street in search of Il ia
70 bank, when his attention was
attracted by an italian who was
turning the crank of his hand
organ, on the top of which
moved and danced a number
of puppets, one of which held u
plate for contributions. Taking
this for a novel game of chance,
the planter, wholly unsophisti-
Gated and more than half inc
briated, resolved to buck the
tiger, and placed a 80 piece on
the plate. The italian ground
on, the figure dextrously tilted
the money into a basket: the
Italian solemnly placed it in his
pocket. ''IIere goesto get even"
said the planter, as he planked
a ten, which shared the same
fate. Fifteen out; here's q
twenty" The imperturabIc
italian Pocketed the twenty
and still turned the crank
The Disguised planter deperted
with the remark: ''Well, 1

APennsylvaniaO1 Town.

Millerstown, lately destroyed
by fire, was.a good type of the
average Pennsylvania towns
which owe their wealth, pros
perity and position to the dis
covery of petroleum. Three
years ago it was the deal old
country village Farming land
there could be bought for $40
an acre, and town property was
correspondingly low. How the
villagers gained their livelihood,
was anopen question. TheygTew
up and vegetated until death
reaped and gathered them If.
Then their children took their
fathers places and followed in
their footsteps, living the same
lazy, humdrum lives. Finally an
oil adventurer "struck oiP' at
Harms City. Then property
at MlllerstOWn rose 0VO per
cent. Every body was excited.
The farmers caught the fever,
and would come into town to
talk oil. Finally a rig was
built and we'll drilled. 1t prov
ed to be a dry hole. Then an
other well, and still anothcrwere
drilled, until at last fifteen IA
vored them with a $50 barrel
flow. A perfect whirlpool Of
excitement broke over the town.
With their good luck came the
oil speculatOr. A man own.rg
a farm that a year before he
would have been glad to sell for
$4,000 received $4,000 for it,
and the owner Of the rickety old
hotel closed with an offer Cf
51O,CCO. A SEQ barrel well
was struck, and quickly follow
ed the 1,400 and 1900 barrel
wells, which at once proclaimed
the champion oil
territory Of the world. With
It's prosperity, Millerstownchan-

The Chicago, It's, Inter-

Editors generally bcstow great
care upon their editorial columns,
which perhaps are never read, to
the neglect of the news, which is
always read. The opinions of an
editor are sometimes of great val
ne, no doubt, but the news is al-
ways of consequence. IF the ar

and true, the reader may detect
its falsity; but if the dispatches
are false, the evil is accomplished
before the truth is made known,
After all, the, most importan,
function of journalism is to con-

The "lads" seemed more in

last attempt to get some game
should be made on the Saturday
following the old squire's an

don't want any murder tonight"

Billy took it and ehook it; but
as he turned away he murmured,
"All right, my fine iellow---l

The men took up their sticks,
and, headed by Luke carrying his
gun, made for the woods. The
band marched along in silence.
When they had arrived at their
destination they halted, and Luke,
having loaded his gun with shot,
laid it down beside him on the
grass. Then there was a moment
of silence, and then were heard the
following words, spoken in the well
known tones of old Squire Lewis
--"You had better surrender
There's ten of US, and you are on
