pert in printing" What particular ele-
ment there may be in the soil of Gallipo-
lis that produces better experts in print
ing than can be found nearer Washing
ton, Mr.. Vance has not yet made known.
But he will doubtless make il plain be-
fore long However this-may be, here is
a copy of the voucher upon which Cousin
Joseph made free trip to the National
Capitol-a sort Of an Innocent Expert
Abroad, as il were:
HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVE OF THE L. :.
For services as expert before the Committee
on Printing of the House Of Represen tatives,
luton sf the Houlps ng pu9F of FeBrnnrY Is9s 500
Approved, JOHN l.. VANCE
Chairman Committee Printing.
Received OF George NJ. Adams. Clerk OF the
House Of Representatives OF the United States,
slOo, in fun, OF the above account; ..,,,,,.
GallipOlis, %.
The report is current here that Mr..
Vance is explaining that this money was
mot for Joseph" as an expert in print
ing. but as an expert in bookkeeping.
Under late law il is necessary to write
on the face OF each Government check
the purpose for which il was given, and
so Cousin Joseph's check, which has got
back to the Treasury, is good evidence
on this point. Here is a copy:
No. 2,O7l. wAsHrNGroN, May 4. Is7G.
Treasurer o: the United states,
Pay TO ]. p. Aleshire expert Public Printing!
or sSd6 order one hundred dollars;
Chief Clerk House Of Representatives.
This check was endorsed by Cousin Jo-
seph, and paid by the Ohio Valley Bank
at Gallipolis.
Two facts show that Mr. Aleshire was
not here simply as an expert. Two other
gentlemen were summoned from New
York in that capacity, and received ex.
actly such vouchers and checks as Cousin
Joseph. But the difference is, both were
examined before the Committee, while
he was neither summoned regularly, nor
examined at all
Besides this, there is little voucher
for Mr.. Vance himself to explain. All
that is known about it at the Treasury is
that 1T is most unusual for a member Of
a committee, sitting in Washington. to
incur personal expenses in connection
with an investigation. Either the Clerk
or the Sergeant-atArms pays all proper
expenses.
But, here is Mr.. Vance, as Chairman
Of the Committee, paying himself money:
House OF Representatives OF the United states.

For expenses incurred In prosecuting the in
yestigation Of the Public Printing, ordered by
the House OF Representatives by resolution OF

Received OF George NJ. Adams, Clerk OF the
House OF Representatives Of the United States,
iorty-eight 5O-lO0 dollars, In full Of the above
account. JOHN L. VANCE.
The gentleman who opposed cousin
Joseph's voucher, and signed the above
receipt for himself, now has the floor.

OrganaI Weakness

This distressing affection-which renders life
miserable and marriage i'm possible-is the pen
atty paid by the victims OF improper indulgence
Young persons are too apt to commit excuses
from not being aware Of the dreadful cOnse-
quences that may ensue. Now, who that un-
derstards this subject will pretend 10 deny that
the power of pro-cTeatiOn Is lost sooner by
those falling into improper habits than by the
prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleas
ure of healthy offspring the most serious and
destructive symptoms of both body and mind
arise. The system becomes deranged, the Ply
steal and Mental Functions weakened, Loss of
Pro-creative Power, Nervous Irritabillty, Dys-
pcpsia, Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion,

One gentleman in the House who does
a great deal of talking and murders the
"King's English" without mercy, has
been the subject of good deal OF merri-
ment, but he treats the opinions OF others
with the profoundest indifference and goes
ahead good jolly fellow with good deal
of good hard sense, and enough OF the
milk of human kindness in his compost
ton to run a first-class dairy.
The Legislature and Governor Brayman

LECTURES.

Mr.. EDTToR.-The long winter is
before us and will be dull after the
holidays are passed. What can be
done to vary the monotony? Last
winter we had entertainments from
abroad, and the community spent con-
siderable money upon them. Can't
some of you young men organize an as
ISOLATION, if numbering only five or
six persons, and inaugurate q course
of ten or twelve free lectures to run
through the winter. These lectures
can be popular expositions of such
subjects as the various lecturers may
fix upon and can be made both entaln
inc and profitable to both old and
young. Rev. Mexican, Rev. Archam'
bault, Geo. Ainslie, Esq, j. w. Brown
ESQ, DR.. Rothwell, DR.. Zipf and 9th

by repeating the lectures at Placer

derstand why the breed of handsome

but why the Austin Fair Association
should offer prize of a plug hat to

tin complications we can see no sense
in at this distance. We wou d not be

with the best pair of bow-legs.
