visit our city bat no day has been set tor
their coming. Nr. voorhees has signi-
fed his Willingness to come at any time
and we presume MIR. Lamar, now that
Congress has adjourned will appoint
day to visit this region of country" We
got our Information from public rumor.
Ourstrects were noisy with the report
FOR several days.
We regret to learn that Col. Shaver,
the distinguished Republican leader and
able lawyer, has taken oaense at the cpl
thet Of Cray Horse. which we applied
to him. Hc SAYS that Gazy Horse Sha-
yer has a bad sound. SO it has; but we
thought he would like it. Learning that
he don't. we take it back. We cannot,
however, let him go without title. He
is one Of the great men lone of the
braves of the Hayes and Wheeler
Scalpers. and scalper should have an
Indian name. A scalper Is a savage, if
he Is anything. Weare willing to accom-
modate the colonel in this matter, and
would be pleased to have him select his
own title. How would he like to be
hailed as Buffalo Chip Shaver or Pos
sum-in-a. Hole or. the Little Antelope
with Bobbed Tailor Sitting Calf?
Mr. Grants man, Ackeaig, who runs
the boys" both white and black, IN
the city, is distinguished by the high
sounding title. the Man with the Windy
Paunch and Big Windy. Mr.. Davis is
known as Sitting Bull, Mr.. Wilcox az
the Young Man-Just-Out-oi-aB and-Box;
Mr. Nellis, as the Man-W Didn't-Get-
There Mr.. Yost as the Man-Too-LaZy
to-Not-Grow. Col. Shaver is as distin-
guished as any OF these, excepting Big
Windy McKeaig, and he ought certainly
to be satisfied with one of the names
We have suggested. Crazy Horse Sha-
yer is. in our opinion, very fine; but it
is just possible that, being somewhat po-
etcal in his tastes, the colonel would be
better pleased with the Little-Antelope-
with-the- Bobbed-Tail. 4" If so, why so
if not. why so, also" as Capt. Bunsby
would put it.
We were yesterday handed the follow
ing, which was taken from the Fort
Smith, Arkansas Herald. by prominent
gentleman of this city, with the request
that it be published in the local columns
of the BULLETIN. as it is his belief there
are many in our city who may profit by
it:
Keeping To ones self all praise OF a

keep their censures to themselves. Some
times a man Will preach well u year,
and nobody Will say kind

a popular pastor was settled near Bos-
ton. He was "A brilliant young man and
his people were very proud OF him. His
congregation was large and prosperous.
1t was sad he had the best settlement in
the neighborhood. He became moody,
| DISCONTINUED and disheartened. He
poured his complaints into the ear of a
| sympathiZiug friend-"I think | shall
leave my church. | don't think my peo-
pie care anything about me. They pay
close attention to my preaching but they
| never say anything about my SER
nous. | don't know whether | meet
| their spiritual waits or not" just then
| tlattering call came from neighboring
state. The parish was up in arms. The
parsonage was thronged. "Oh, we
can't spare you. You won't find any
where people that thinks As much of
you as we do. Wen raise your salary,
put in new organ, enlarge the church,

founded, and could only say, IF ! had
known this earlier | would not have
thought of leaving"
