A Challenge to futile.
From tie st. Louis Times.

FROM tAe 81. Looms 11ses-
BY his wanten disregard of the truth,
General Tuttle has forfeited all claim to
be treated as man of convictions and
the only question to be asked concerning
him is whether he has enough character
to back any statement? On the authority
of men whom We believe to be responsible
and who promise to furnish the proof if
zen. futile disputes il, we charge him with
having been participant in theft OF
$4,000 while in command of the big
Black near Nicksburg. under General Me-
Pherson, by the seizure aud sale of cotton
to Hoyt, Sprague u Co., and also with
having paid cut of his own pocket $4,000
towards fund of $4,000 to procure from
the district provost marshal a clearance
of the cotton after tie sale.
IF this is not true we have been led to
make very damaging statement on the
authority of men whom we consider re-
sponsible and with full appreciation of
our own responsibility. We challenge
General futile to an investigation of the
charge. 1t true we want the evidence to
go out as addenda to his great campaign
speech; if untrue it will make his speech
all the greater.
We have the witnesses ready and can
give their names whenever General Tuttle
Institutes an investigation in the proper
way, and we respectfully ask the Globe to
notify him OF the proposition. 1t ought to
do that much, at least, for it's Democratic
readers, if it cares for them"
COMMENTS BY DUBUoE HERALD.
Gen. futile has already been proven a
liar beyond the possibility of question,
Here is direct, unequivocating charge
made by responsible journal, that he il
guilty of stealing as well, and he is giYer
an opportunity to employ any legal means
that ne may choose to vindicate his char.
acter from the aspersion. Dare he accept
the challenge thus thrown out? If he i:
dishonest, he will remain silent, and thu
facility acknowledge his guilt. The people
of this state are little anxious to know
what kind of man futile is, and here i
good opportunity for him to enliGhtel
them

Corn and Hcgs.

From carefully-conducied experiments
by different persons it has been ascer
tanned that one busbcl Of corn will make
q little moro than ten pounds of pork
gross. Taking the result as basis, the
following deductions arc made, which all
our farmers would do well to lay by for
a convenient reference; that:
When corn sells at l29 cents per bush
ell, pork cost l + cents per pound.
When corn costs IL cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per poud.
When corn costs % cents Der bushcl,
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs 80 cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per pound.
When corn costs so cents per bushel,
pork costs 5 cents per pound.
The following statement shows what
the farmer realizes on his corn when sold
in the terms of pork:
When pork sells at 8 cents per pound,
it brings % cents per bushel in corn.
When pork sells at cents per pound,
it brings SO cents per bushel IN corn.
When pork sells at 5 cents per pound,
it brings 80 cents per bushel in corn.

question asked concerning a new ac-
quaintanco, as though that embraces the
whole subject. If a man likes a woman
he generally considers her "prctty," for
the term is merely conventional. 4
pretty woman, in the private lexicon of
masculinality signifies a-woman inter-
cstlng from whatever capse. Who has
not known woman to be called pretty
who could hardly boast Of single hand
some featurey Who has not been &C.

who has distinctly graceful manner

dig hole al tho foot OF Il large cotton
wood tree. He worked all night, and
the New South reports results:
By 9 o'clock a considerable number OF
spectators had assembled AZ the spot
and their presence appeared to annoy the
strangers considerably, but did not in
terfcre with the work. The hole had
by this time assumed considerable di
mansions. being some eight feet deep
and several feet wide, when suddenly
tho colored man struck his spade on
somo hard substance, which produced q
grauGg noise, causing the two white
men TO become excited and somewhat
nervous, as if the object of their myster
ious undertaking was about to be con.
summatcd. They had apperantly struck
the looked-for object, but the men
thought 1T would not do TO unearth it in
the presence of the numerous spectators
who had been attracted TO the scene by
the strange proceedings, so one of them

standing some few yards distant, show
cd indications of sickness, and he lmne
diately ran 10 the horse, at tie same
time calling upon the spectators TO fol
low him, which they did, and as soon at
their backs were turned upon the ex
cavation, the colored man, with his
spade, turned up q mahogany box about
eighteen inches long and six inches
wide, which the remaining white man
hastily snatched up and covered with
his overcoat, and after ordering the col
ore man to fill up the hole and meet
them at certain place, he hurried TO
the buggy, and, in company with the
other white man, drove at rapid pace
toward the city, leaving the astonishcd
spectators in state Of bewlderment,
and wondering what all this business
meant. There are many surmises re
garding the contents Of the box, and
how it camc TO be buried at the foot OF
the cottonwood tree. The prevailing
opinion is that tho box contained dla-
monds, specie, and greenbacks, as one
of the men paid the livery bill with a
musty $50 greenback, issued during the
war, which was probably a portion of
the contents of the box. The two white
men are supposed TO have iormely be-
longed to Wisconsin regiment which
was stationed here during the war, and
the box and contents were in all proba-
bility stolen from some residence and
buried by the parties who resurrectcd it,
or by other members of the Same regi-
ment who let them into the secret. 1t
is rumored that the box and contents
was valued al $4,000.

FlaitcrY Rewarded,

Frederick William, father OF frederick
the Great of Prussia, painted, or fancied
he painted, but his works were mere
daubs. Such, however, was not the Ian
guage of his courtiers, when descantlng
on the merits OF the royal Apelles. On
one occasion his Majesty favored them
with the sight of new specimen. "Sup-
pose," said the king, "that some great
paintcr-Rubens or Raphael, for in
stance-had painted this picture, do you
think it would fetch a considerable
price 2" "Sire," replied tho Baron dc
Polnitz, who passed for the most practi-
cal ard most obsequlous of his Majesty 5
courtiers, 81 assure you that connois-
sour could not offer less for such picture
than twenty-five thousand florins."
Dwell, then, Baron" cried the grateful
monarch, "you shallrcceive proof my
munifcence. Take the picture for five
thousand forms, which you shall pay
me ready money; and rs l wish 10
render you service, you may. have my
permission TO sell it again" "Ah, sire, ."
returned the baron who was fairly caught
in his own snare, 81 can never consent
TO take advantage OF your Majesty's
generosity" ''No reply, said The king,
al know that | make you a handsome
present, by which you will gain fifteen
thousand forms or more. But your zeal
for my interest has been proved, and
owe you some recompense. Your love
for tho arts and your attachment to
myself cntitle you TO a mark Of my cs
teem."

The Power OF Money.

The power OF money is, on the whole,
overestimated. The greatest things
which have been done for the world
have not been accomplished by rich
men, or by subscription lists, but by
men of small means. The creates;
thinkers, discoverers, inventors, and ar
fists, have been men of moderate wealth.
many of them little raised above the
condition of worldly circumstances and
it viii always be so. Riches are oftener
IN impcdiment than stimulus TO action,
and in many cases Is much of a misfor-
TIME as blessing. The youth who in
herits wealth is apt 10 have life made
too easy for him, and he soon grows
stated with it, because he has nothing left
for him TO desire. Having no special
object left 10 struggle for, be finds time
heavy on his hands-remains morally
and mentally asleep-and his position
in society is no higher than that OF a
polypus over which the tide doats.
