WILD OATS.
PROSPECTUS FOR 1876.
Champion american Comic Paper

Illustrated by corps Of the best Ameri-
can artists, and contributed to by the
most popular hulnorists and satirists of
the day.
Wild Oats now enters successfully mp
on the sixth year Of its existence, aud
has become the established numerous and
satirical paper Of the country. 1t was
started and continued the first year rs a
monthly. then, to satisfy the demand Of
the pnblic, it was changed to q fortnight.
". Still continuing its good work OF
hitting folly as it flies, and showing mp
the political and social shams by its
mastery cartoons and pungent editorials,
it achieved even greater success than
before, and was recognized rs tho ablest
and brightest of its class. Since then We
have yielded still further to the public
demand, and now publish Wild Oats
weekly! 1t has literally grown into its
present shape on its intrinsic merits, be-
ing the first successful weekly humorous
paper ever published in this country.
Among the artist, especially engaged
to furnish illustrations for Wild Oats are
Frank Be1lew, Thomas Worth Hopkins,
Wales, Shelton, Wolf, Jump, Kcettels,
Stuckhardt, Day, Poland, aud several
others who are yet known to fame.
In its literary departments Wild Oats
will, a. it always has, stand alone aud
unapproachable. At least one first-class
serial story will always bo found in its
| pages, by the best humorous, satirical.
| and character writer's in the United
States; while its sketches and squibs
will be sparkling, original and pointed.
Wild Oats will be first-class in every
particular, and on this account may be
taken into tho best families without fear
or suspicion, as 10 word or illustration
will appear that can offend the most fas-
tidiOus.

had been stolen from him by some

state Of affairs did not dampen his

rress relieving him Of the $4,000 by
naming it, ~ bill to correct an err

was not trne, as the bill had never
passel both houses Of the previous
Congress IA alleged. This relief from
the $4,000 defalcation leaves him
still q lefaulter in the sum Of $I7 600,
and set lie finds no difficulty in get
ting confirmed as Collector Of the
Port Of Savannah. But the exftana.
ton of this gives an insight Into the
manner in which, the recent candi-
dates for Presidential honors aethe
Cincinnati Convention were govern
ri. Early in January Of this year
Atkins came to Washington rs a
strong Bristow man, and did not scrn-
ple to promise the friends Of this
gentleman that the Georgia delega'
ton should he carried solid for Brit
tow. After he was renominated tor
the Collectorship, and his con6r'na.
ton was not made promptly, he went
to Senator Morton and promised that
he would see that the Georgia dele
CATION to Cincinnati went solid for
him. Still impatient at the delay of
his confirmation, he went tn Conk.
ling, to whom he promised the solid
Georgia delegation. The Blaine men,
however defeated him, and at the
convention Atkins voted for Conk.
ling, and is again Collector at the
Port Of Savannah. This is glowing
evidence of the great reform inausu-
rated by the Republican party.

How Circumstances Alter Cases.

Mr.. Albert Rhodes, writing on Nv ON
ans Occupations, in the Galaxy, says:
1.-The moral sense takes different forms
in different countries. The Greek
pilgrim having bathed in the Jordan,
where Christ was baptized, believes
himself sure of Heaven and entitled to
q large license in the conduct Of life.
In Sparta it was not so much the crime
of stealing as the discovery that was
culpable. In France bankruptcy is
social ostracism. and in the United
States it is an event which hardly aft
fects the social position. The married
woman of France who distributes her
favorS to others than her husband may
possibly be regarded with indulgence,
but if she attempts to cheat her credl-
tors she is hurried before the tribunals
of Justice. In America she may con-
nive with her husband in evading
creditors by having property trans
terred to her, bu: she may not put sta bs
III the marriage contract. 1t is we'll,
therefore, not to assume moral superb
GRITTY, for virtue is more or less rela-
tive or conventional.
