That arrsnt knave and uuprinciplec
trickster, Simon Cameron, in q TeceB'
interview, said the success Of the Demo
cratic party in 1876 would inaugurate
the season Of pTofiigacy which disgraced
the administrations Of Van Buren, and
Buchanan. Was there ever such IN.
blushing impudence? During the ad'
ministration Of Martin Van Buren, there
was neither untridled taking Of gifts nor
wholesale appointing Of relatives to Of
fee. There was then purity ana integ.
rity in public and private life. As to
the "profiigacyn Of IAN Buren's admin
istration, we have only to refer TO the
figures and facts. We have before Us q
speech made by James Buchanan, de-
Iivered in 1912, on the loan bill, in which
he denies the assertion Of Senator Crit
tenden, Of Kentucky, that the average
expenses Of Mr.. Van Buren's admins
trstion, during four years Of its cOntinu-
ance, .amouuted to thirty-fye million
dollars per annum. Mr.. Buchanan said
it did not exceed twenty-eight million
dollars. az admit, " he continued, "that
twenty-eight million dollars is large
sum, and greatly exceeds what ought 10
be our ordinary expenditures; but sens-
tors should recOllect the extraordinary
circumstance. which swelled 1.-THE
Florida war, the purchase Of Indian
lands, the removal OF the Indians west

debt left by Mr. Van Buren, viii be

one million dollars" VIVA. would Ar.
Buchanan and John J. CTittenden think
of the "pronigacyn OF the present sd
ministration as cOntTasted with the
twenty-eight millions expended by Van
Buren,. The administrations Of Van
Buren, and Buchanan may not have
been perfect. But during their careers

The government should by ali means,
invite the queen Of England to cross the
Atlantic and help Us centennializs next
year. When a son of Victoria was re,
ceived in this country with immense
enthusiasm, the queen would have an
enthusiastic ovation, Of course. She
would have an opportunity to see what
her great grandchildren had done and
she would have reason to be proud Of her
offspring, so to speak. By al means let
the queen Of England be invited to as

Some time ago a Swede came to this

from the fact that he knew nothing Of

self understood, his efforts to secure
work were unsuccessful. Finally, as a
last resort he went to Fort LeavenWOrth
and enlisted in the regular army. One
day, shortly after the arrival of the In
dian prisoners here, he strOlIed around
to the gIardhouse in which they were
confined, and, overhearing some Of the
conversation going on between the
Cheyennes, was struck with the similar
ity between their language and his own.
He entered the cell and began to talk
with several, and found that he could,
by talking to them in mis- mother tongue,
make them understand. This fact COM
ing to the ears OF General Pope, that
gentleman sent him on to Washington,
recomm ending that the SWede be sent

the likeness as perfect a. possible, pro.
tracted the work. When it was first
started the projectors had the advsnt age
of the advice OF the late James NJ. Ma
son, who procured from Virginia the
best photograph that he could get.
When General Bradley johnson was in
England two years ago, and the work
was near completion, he provided an
other photograph, which caused further
delay and improved the likeness. About
the time Of Mr.. FOley's death, last fall,
the work was completed for casting, and,
being otherwise perfect, it has been, no
doubt, carried out with as much finish
as if the laDented scul ptor had lived TO
superintend it. The works OF q deceased
artist are allowed to be exhibited in the
Royal academy for year after mis- death,

A Marriage Discount.

A few days since one of our Bos. ton divines was called upon to unite 8 jolly old couple in the bonds of matrimony, and just as they were pronounced man and wife another couple entered the room to be joined likewise. The moment the two latter entered they were somewhat surprised at seeing the divine receive the splendid ransom of a new and bright half dollar from the hands of the newly married bridegroom. Our eminent divine immediately thrust the money into his pocket, and then congratulating the hap py pair, bade them adieu, and at once commenced his duties in performing the marriage rite for the remaining couple. Being pro- nOunced man and wife, the youth full husband thrust his hand into his pocket and pulled out the very same amount, an equally bright half-dollar, and presented it to the divine, whereupOn the good man looked with profound astonish. ment at the insignificant amount and remarked:
 "My customary fee upon such occasions is five dollars"
 "You married the last ugly old couple" said the indignant bride groom, "for fifty cents, and now you dare to tax me ten times that amount merely because we are a young couple" The good divine, placing lis glasses several inches above his nose, looked the young man full in the face aud said:
 "I have never married you but this once, while I have married the former man five times! and on such occasion duty demands 8 liberal discount to the trade !" Suffice it to say the remaining four dollars and a half were forth coming, and, with a smile, the bride and bridegroom took the nearest way to the door.
