How the Great and Good Republican
Party Taxes Its yOtaries.
a Rich Dol ,ment-'Tbe Blood Of the
Martyr D.. The Seed Of The Church"

The following modest and delectable
document is submitted for the careful
perusal of the readers of THE HERALD.
1t is Il fitting commentary upon Re-
publican form of government, when
the fountain head of its legislation is
sues such literature. What Republican
oiliceholder is so securely entrenched
in his position rs to refuse to comply
with this demand for blackmail to sup.
port the best government the world
ever saw? This in q boosted Republic,
which is held up 10 the gaze OF The
down-trodden millions of Europe rs Il
paragon of honesty and good govern
ment! 1t should be preserved, as an
evidence in the future, of the corrupt,
venal and dishonest administration of
the boosted God-and-morality party,
which has well nigh made wilder
ness of the fairest portion of Gods do
main:
1t is particularly desired that In re-
plying To this letter the name of the
p0stollice and State, together with the
date and name of the writer, should be
written clearly and legibly, in order
that credit may be properly given.

A BRIEF HONEYMOON.
"Marry in IInsic. Repent M Leisure
A Sad Example.
AYOung wife Deserted by II ItcariI"ss
IIusbnnd-A True wife ANA
TrUnnt barber.

In quiet, modest little cottage OH
Commerce street, not II thousand miles
from where the Goddess of Justice dis
penses that even-handed equity which
has rendered her name proverbial, and
where that lasting monument to the
genius of II aforementioned Angelo
or Raphael is exposed to the gaze of
an admiring public, lived Il handsome,
blue-eyed little maid, whose twink
ling eyes and merry laugh
rivaled the silvery voices of the fairy
sprites. OF course, Mollie had lovers
by the score, as what fascinating little
blonde has not? Among them was
one most kindly looked upon by papa
and mamma, but of course most frown-
edupon by pretty Mollie. lie was gay
and dashing barber, named John w.
Wise, whose we'll oiled locks and care
fully-dyed moustache, if report belle
him not, have already struck terror to
many an innocent maiden's heart.
But papa and mamma counsel prevail
ed, and whether to ball or party, pic
mic or garden, the fair Mollie was at
tended by her barberous cavalier.
John was Il firm believer in the old adj
age, "make hay while the sun
Shines" and pressed his suit with
all the ardor of an impatient
lover. Yielding to the repeated
opportunities of near and dear rela-
tives, and the imprisoned wooings of
John, the fair Mollie gave her reluc.
tant consent, and some ten days ago
they were united in marriage. Things
went on smoothly. John piled his vo-
cation in the shop of Meinheer Kreter,
on the square, and appeared the most
loving and faithful of Benedicts, until
yesterday morning, when he arose,
and requesting his wife to give him II
clean shirt, put it on, left the house
and repaired to the shop, where he
gathered up his razors, Il pistol aud
some loose change belonging to his
employer, and struck out, since which
time nothing has been heard of him.
.Tbe, bride of n few short days, who
isnot yet fifteen, does not seem at all
-inconsolable or heart broken at her
loss, but rather appears to think that
his departure is "good radiance of
bad rubbish" Up to the time of her
marriage she had been acquainted
with Wise but couple of months, and
will no doubt realize the full force, for
many weary and lonesome day, of
the adage, "Marry in haste, repent at
leisure" RumOr has it that Wise has
a wife in st. Louis, and perhaps others
in other cities. The telegraph has
been brought into requisitiOn to arrest
the rascal, and it is to be hoped that
he will be caught and made to learn,
by lengthy residence in the States
prison, that the crime of trifling with
the affections and attempting to black
en- the fair name of virtuous and in
nocent girl, will not he permitted to go
unpublished.
