A good story ia going the ronnd.

A good story is going the rounds
in regard to Governor Hendricks.
While at Portsmouth last Friday,
it is said that his audience of 600
or 800 was made up largely of West
Virginians, who had imbibed freely
of Democratic whisky uninflated
with water. OF course a fight oc-
Cured every fifteen minutes, to the
delight of the virginians, and to
the disgust of the Governor. At
last, out of patience with the quar-
relsomeness and inattention of the
motley crowd, he cried out. with
some show of anger: Gentlemen,
you had better reserve yourselves
for the great fight on Tuesday, and
to day listen to the PRONUNCIATION
of your principlss!' That's so
Governor" exclaimed a inaudl;ng
fellow, 'but you have id sight
more PRONUNCIATION than principles
Let the fight go on -

Under this caption yesterdays In
dependent tells "a tough" story about
Charles Seaman and John Ryan. The
writer shows himself to be great ass
or a great liar, or perhaps both. 1t is
true Mr.. Dormer was present and
witnessed the transaction, and states
unhesitatingly that Seaman was the
assailant and wholly in the wrong.
Seaman ought to have been kicked
out of the Office and dismissed from
the position he disgraces. The white
washing the Independent attempts to
put on this affair will not do.

TRUST.

Trust not trust not, the burden Of this story
Is ringing evermore in youthful ears,
Repeated by each dame and grandsire
hoary,-
"Trust not, my child, this is vale OF
tears;
And triends who smile will smile but to de-
ceive you,
At fortunes changes ready to depart
Will win your love, and win 1t but to leave
you
To loneliness and WEAKNESS o: heart"
This is mournful tale they are telling,
That friendship can be measured out by
gold
That loves q thing of buying and selling
A heart and hand alike untrue and cold.
Remembering lessons that the past has
taught MS,
EsWe fe eel that hopes oft perish in their birth,
Yet thinking of the JOY dear friends have
brought us.
We know that truth remaineth yet on
earth.
And when we meet true friends, oh must
we darken
Their hearts and ours by doubling and
distruste
To cold suspicious whispers ever harken
Too timid to be generous or just?
No, never, we would say, trust, but trust
slowly;
Clasp not each hand, believe not every
smile;
Be re the offering is sincere and holy,
Undimmed by selishness, unstained by
guile.
Then trust, believe no more the mocking
story,
Which says all love deceives, and then
departs;
For there are riches and Exceeding glory
In the affection of pure, earnest hearts.
A few true friends to love us, and to aid us
And cordial hands to warmly clasp our
own
On surely God has never made us
| To live distressing. selfish and alone.
Forget them not, the loving AMI true
I hearted,
| Who all too early left the friendly band
| Forget them not, be sure the dear departed
| Do not forget you i'll the spirit-land
! Fear not 10 leave their future in the keep
! ing
| OF that best Friend, ..':who doeth all
things WE'LL"
| Trust Him, trust them, and still the voice OF
weeping.

dwell. N. F. CHASE.

tickets to Kansas City, over the Van

on this road. The ageot at this place
made out tickets for them over the
Indianapolis and St Louis road, at
the same time assuring the party that
they were the right tickets. They
reached Indianapolis at about ten
o'clock that night, add had their
tickets been correct, could have NOV
