The Mexican officlal Dt1rtO declares II troops
OF the United staes invade Mexico any preteI the
Government will defend the soil with energy.
fthe Mexican Government Will display proper
energy In REFRESHING the operations OF its ma
rauders who cross to this side OF the Rio Grande,
such energy may be of real advantage to itself
In the preservation OF the peace. When we
protest against their marauding, the Mexican
Government pleads its weakness; and when we
propose to take them in hand II stands up for
the inyiolsbility OF Its sOli. Let the DidTiO ex-
plain these points to the Mexican authorities.

A marvelIously large PROMOTION of tn

marvellously large proportion of the
sums contributed by the public for religion
and charitable purposes is spent In running tn
machinery for their collection and dIsbursem emit.
An extraordinary illustration OF this fact has
been laid before the Presbyterian Assembly Ia
Brooklyn, In tho report OF the Board OF Church
Erection. In the year that ended with April,
1855. the sum OF $4,000 was discussed by this
body, at an expense Of $4,000 and In the year
that ended with last April, 100000 was discussed
by 1t, at an expense OF $1,000. Doubtless soms
very amiabe individuals secured very salts
factory salaries for managing these disburse-
ments OF the Presbyterian Board OF Church
Erection; but II any other business consumed
the same proportion OF Its income or capital for
running expenses, bankruptcy would very soon
oyertake 1t. H. may be hard for these anna ole
men 10 be deprived OF their means OF living
but II Is also hard for the contributors TO the
Church Erection fund to DO so heavily black
mailed for their support.

NEW YORK. May 20. 1875.
II is very uncertain when another dividend
will be declared. The Commissioners, In their
last report to Congress- say that 1t is useless for
them to attempt to estimate what they will
ultimately be able to realize from the undistrib-
uted assets Of tho bankrupt concern, and the
prospect is very discouraging for depositors.
LErPoLD and his do-nothine associates still re-
tain their places, and II is contended that there
Is no authority to remove them. II is toletably
certain that they will not be removed so long as
President GRANT remains In the White House,

Blaine has all along attributed the au-
thorship OF the stories about himself TO BrIl-

correspondent who has an abiding place therein.

occasions that this correspondent was at tho
bottom OF half the stories which have been set
anoat with the purpose OF injurinR him be fore
the people. Tho ex-Speaker's friends say that
In afsw days Brlstow will have hummed about
his ears scrap from his history which will cause
MIN a great deal more trouble TO clear away than
anything that has as yet appeared. The Secre-
tary's signature, II Is said, IL attached to tho

him. When the friends OF Blaine tell you this
they never tail TO say, however, that Blaine has
nothing TO 10 with the natter.

Our correspondent seems to be poorly In

ton OF the clergyman In question Ia In perfect
accord with the established doctrines OF tho de-
nomination OF evangelical Professionalism TO

The Champion Comic Paper Of America.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1876.
TVhis sparkling and brightly illustrated
L weekly, humorous and satirical paper has
entered upon the seventh year OF its jolly ex-
istence and this being the Centennial year Of
our national independence, the publishers take
pride in saying that it will not be, as it never
has vet been, whit behind the times in hold
ing up the humorous or satirical side Of every
thing American. The merry side of this great
and glorious Centennial year will receive spe-
clal attention in the bright columns of Ameri-
cas- favorite humorous paper.
The publishers OF WILD OATS point with
pride to the wholly unexampled success OF
their paper, and, pledging themselves that it
shall be in the future even better than IN tho
past, they ask a continuance OF that kind pa
trOnage which has placed it at the head and
front of American humorous papers.
We have made arrangements which will en-
able us to present WILD OARS in q brighter
and better shape than heretofore, having re-
Gently taken possession of our new publication
office, and had fine copperfa faced type cast es-
pecially for us, together with all the vast para
phernalia required IN the production Of such
paper as we give the public at the low price Of

We HAYS also made arrangements with some
new artists, and shall at the same time retain
such old 'favOrtes Ga Thomas Worth, Frank
Bellew, Hopkins, Woolf. Wales, Frank Beard,
BisLee, Opper, Stnckhardt, Rothengatter, Ben

while the editorial department will still re-
main in the hands Of its fonder. the vivacious

more being said.
As an additional inducemeDt to subscribefor
the Centennial year, we have at great expense
prepared q comic chrome the GROWING effort OF

To those who know WILD Oars we need not
say that it has not, does not, and will not con-
tain a Eord or an illustration which may not
be taken into every family in the land. Fun
