to undertake to do that sort of business 1t
would last justas long as its original capital
held out and no longer. There are but
few men In any community that eau afford
70 do that sort Of business even for short
time. Insuring the obligations OF other
people, without any consideration, is very
poor business when well followed. This
is so universally considered in that light
that copartnership articles generally have
clause In which the partners individually
and collectively hind themselves not TO bo-

THE POTATO BUG ABROAD.

The festive Colorado potato bu z, ar
rsyed in all its avaricious appetite, has
crossed the dark blue ocean aud arrived
safely at Bremen, ready for spring enter
prises and things like that. This gives
hope to America, and now We breathe
freer. After the peaceful settlement Of
the Presidential imbroglio but one thing
remained TO worry the feelings and dis
turb the confidence of the American
people, and that was the presence OF the
potato bug. Now, potato bug In the ab.
stract Is comparatively of no avail, but
taken In the concreto-there's the rub. A
potato bug In the concrete is q big thing on
ice, but n Is an enemy to everything that
1t can touch which is animated and at all
green. 1t was born in the deep gulch es of
the Rocky mountains, and, liboriny uuder
the impression that 1t was not born to
whet its appetite in vain on the rock
ribbed sides of Pixies Peak, 1t packed
Its little carpet.bag and starting
eastward pursued its way until
1t spread itself over an entire continent
snd--America was ravaged. For this rea.
son, next to the Presidential question, the
potato. bug occupied the principal attention
of the people. But, as We remarked be-
fore, they breathe freer now. Aud why
Not because their old foe has less appetite,
but that he has arrived In Bremen, three
thousand miles away, in good condition
and ready for active business as soon as
spring opens. We rejoice, not because
Europe has ever done anything that we
should treat her 80 through our potato.
bugs; but we rejoice In spirit Of
honest and legitimate self-defense. We
are willing to do anything to in
duce the emigrstIon> of this Rocky
mountain product to foreign shores. Free
transportation should be offered to them a.
once, with first-class passage. We could
afford TO give them ship or two. provided
they would burn them as soon as they ar.
rived at Bremen, In the spirit that CoRrEz
burned his vessels on the coast Of Mexico
to prevent the return Of hs solliery. We
can spare more potato bugs than anything
else-even SPRINGER himself. We are
very glad that they have attracted the
attention Of the German Government
| so soon. Scarcely had the first one
arrived when the authorities arose as
one man and went to receive 1t. Circulars
were issued, proclamations made, and
great excitement prevailed. The bug was
ordered to be killed on the spot. We are
sorry to hear Of the fate of the frat. for II
may deter others from going to Bremen.
Europe is welcome to our potato bugs
whether she accepts them dead or alive,
and we are In duty bound to facilitate
their emigration as much as possible, even
though II interferes with the ocea travel.

Cubans and reparation to our own country.
But in q short time CASTELAR, fell, the Re.
