Il vas once upon timo-but what timo cannot say
That there lived little girl who had naughty way
OF making ugly faces whenever anything leased her,
And 20 make the matter worse. nearly everything
displeased her.
She ala not ike 10 get up aud she hated 70 60 TO bed
She dd not like TO read and she hated 10 hear things
read
She dd not like It to rain and she hated the sun to
She was never ready for dinner, aud.-well, she did
like to dine.
Her loving parents thought some fairy had bcwtched
her;
They reasoned with her long and finally the switched
her;
But The more they switched and reasoned the worse
th0lr darling grew.
Until they owned-to each other-they didn't know
what TO dol
It was just about this time she went for a walk one
day.
Because she had been told on no account to stray
Outside the palaee-gnrden,-you've read In many a
That foks always lived in palaces, "once upon time "
50 she s.pyed away from home as far as ever she
And found herself at last IN dark and dismal wood
when al at once she saw,--you may think she was
afraid
Lying loose among the trees. all the faces she'd ever
made
There was the face she made TO fnghten her little
brother;
And worse one still she made when she would not
mind her mother;
And as she looked around they looked worse and
WORSE
There was every single face she had made at her
nurse
And many more beside.--she had done Il for years,
So the place was lust as full OF faces as II could b.
She turned and ran, poor thing as well as she could
for fright
And when she did get homo they found she was crazy
quite.
They sent her to an asylum at once but there, alas
BY way Of amusing her. they gave her lookingglass
When they opened her door next day. there was moth

The financial speech of Col. VIM.
A Phillips, of tins State, in Con-
gress, on the 10th, seems to have
made a very considerable impress
sion throughout the state. We are
opposed to the Colonel in so far as
he favors initiation, but must say the
speech in point of ability, is credit
to Kansas. We make no pretensions
to being a financier or understand
ing finances, but we believe our pres
ent troubles arise from too much in
1lation. We are not in favor of re-
peating the fOllies which will lead
to another reverse, which would be
far worse in its results than that
which we have been and are now
passing through. We suppose, from
what we hear and read, that infia-
ton is popular, but we are convinc-
ed that it is not the proper way out
of our present difficulties. Time,
patience and economy in every de-
partment of private and public bus
mess will bring US out all right.
Keep out of debt as individuals and
corporations; submit to no tempta-
ton which promises you two dol
lars worth fifty cents each, in place
of one dollar worth a hundred
cents; and we will come out all
right. The Leavenworth Times
thinks the people of Col. Phillips
district are with him.

ALEXANDER RAMSEY.
A Commissioner for the State OF Illinois
in the State of Pennsylvsnia.
The Kansas law requiring similar
statements,in sec. above, has been
very generally neglected aud viola
ten by both life and fire companies.
There is no reason whatever that
this violation of the law should be
continued, since the Superintendent
has discovered that there is an ade-
quate means OF enforcing il.
Laws are made 10 be enforced, not
to be neglected and treated with
contempt. We hope and expect
Mr.. WEIGH will proceed in every
case when he is duly notified of the
neglect of any company TO publish
their statements in each county, 10
enforce the law and apply the pen
atty it provides. The companies
have had the idea that there is nc
penalty, aud no way of enforcing
the law, but they are very evidently
mistaken. Ths law is not so i'm
perfect as il has been regarded
Every paper in the State is interes
ted in this matter and we have little
: doubt but that they will look aftel
their own interests little, and alst
the public interests, as they are il
, duty bound TO do. The republica
l ton OF the information contained il
l this article and an appeal to Super
3 intendent WEIGH to enforce til
9 law in ali its provisions would un
? doubleday effect good results.

Political notes.

The Pennsylvania Democratic
convention was held on the 22d,
aud declared in favor of specie re-
sumption by some practical method,
but demanded the repeal of the
present resumption act. A motion
to instruct delegates to st. Louis to
vote for Judge Blacks nomination
for President, was defeated.
The New York State Republican
convention was held at Syracuse,
March %, and declared for hard
money currency but made no direct
reference to the resumption act. 1t
also adopted resolution asking the
Cincinnati convention to nominate
Senator Conkling for President.
There was considerable opposition,
but his friends carried the vote, and
it was then made unanimous.
The Senate committee on foreign
relations, has reported adversely to
the confirmation of II. II. Dana, Jr.,
as minister to England. Butler has
produced court records to show that
Dana was not only convicted of lit
erary piracy in editing a law book,
but that he swore falsely in the
matter. This lets Dana out, and he
is not a politician, either.
Hon. John Morrissey, headlight of
the New York Democracy, has at last
declared his position on the financial
question. He thinks that poker and
faro chips constitute very good sort
of currency, and he says that, beyond
observing that fact, he shall not Crap
pie with the financial problem to any
alarming extent.
Connecticut is the next State to vote,
and closes the spring campaign. On
the first Tuesday in April ,4th proXimo,
it will elect State and legislative Off
GERS. Last year the Democrats carried
the State by 6,04S majority on the gov
ernor's vote. This year there is
greenbaek ticket in the field, but the
movement Is only just organized, aud
the other. parties regard it as of not
much Importance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh appeared be-
fore the House committee at Washing
ton, and answered all questions, but TO
eYerybOdy's surprise, furnished no testi-
mony against anybody. Mr.. Marshss
memory had almost actually failed
him, and he was not certain about any
thing. Mrs. Marsh never had known
of anything wrong. The committee is
perplexed, and the Belknap impeach-
ment case is not making any progress.
The Republican county convention
held at Toledo, Ohio, on the 9th, de-
manded the repeal. of the resumption
act, and favored Gov. Hayes for the
Presidency.
Lappin and MOwry viii be tried n

the elections have all gone one away

BILE rebels. In the blindness of their
rage they do not see that they are
