Don't stop my paper, printer,
Don't strike my name OIL yet;
You know the times are stringent,
And dollars hard 10 get;
But tug little harder,
Is what mean to do,
And scrape the dimes together,
Enough for. me and you.
I can't afford 10 drop IL;
l find IL doesn't pay
To do without paper,
However others may:
hate 10 ask my neighbors.
To give me theirs on loan;
They don't lust say, but mean IL,
Why don't you haye.your own!
You can't tell how we miss II,
IL IL, by any fate,
should happen not 10 reach us,
OR come little late;
Then all Is in a hubbub,
And things go all awry,
And, printer, IL you're married
You know theAreason why
cannot do without 1t,
II il no use to try,
For other people take IL,
And, printer, so must 1;
1, too, must keep me posted
And know what's going on,
Or feel and be accounted
A fogy simpleton.
Then, take IL kindly, printer,
II pay be somewhat slow,
For cash Is not so plenty,
And wants not few, you know.
But must have my paper,
Cost what ii may TO me,
I'd rather dock my sugar,
And do without my tea.
So. printer, don't you stop It.,
Unless you want my frown,
For here's the years subscription,
And credit IL right down,
And send the paper promptly
And regularly on,
And let il bring us weekly
It's welcomed benson.

What to Teach the Girls.

Teach them self-reliance.
Teach them to make bread.
Teach them to make shirts.
Teach them not to paint or powder.
Teach them to wear thick, warm shoes.
Teach them how to wear calico
dresses. and do it like Queen.
Teach them OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,
painting, drawing-if you have money
enough of your own to do it with.
Teach them the essentials of life
truth, honesty, uprightness-and at a
suitable time let them marry.-Godeys

suddenly recollected his watch. and
ringing for his valet, desired him to take
it from the dining-room table, where il
had been left, and restore it to it's proper
place. In a few moments the servant
returned, looking somewhat frightened
he could not find the watch. Gen. Yer
non, surprised, went himself to search,
but was not more fortunate.
perhaps, sir, you or one of the COM
pany have carried it by mistake into the
drawing-room?
AZ think not; but we will try"
Another search, in which all the guests
joined, but without avail.
"What 1 fear" said the General, ais
that some one by chance may tread upon
and break it." f
N Gen. Vernon was widower, and this
costly trinket was intended as a present
to his only child, daughter, who had
lately married wealthy Baronet.
I'VE will none of MS leave this room

gentlemen, with ominous emphasis.
THAT decision" said young man,
who was engaged that night to ball,
might quarter us on our host for an in
definite time. i propose much more
speedy and satisfactory expedient; let
us all be searched"
This suggestion was received with
laughter and acclamations; and the
young man, presenting himself as the
first victim, was searched by the valet,
who, for the nonce, enacted the part of
Custom House officer. The General,
who at first opposed this piece of prac-
teal pleasantly, ended by laughing at
it, and each new inspection of pockets
produced fresh bursts of mirth. Capt.
Dutton alone took no share in what was

WASHINGTON, April 2G.-The Democrats have
been greatly disturbed by THE TmBUNEs recent
publications in regard TO Southern claims as repre-
sentcd by bills and petitions SO much that they
have undertaken TO offset them with list Of North

the total, 81 800 0O0, ,000 than 50 per cent
is included in item covered by n bill introduced
by Mr.. Philips of Kansas, to provide for the sur
vcy of and estimate for ship canal with stone sides
and bottom, from deep tide-water near the mouth of
the Mississippi, to ST. Louis with branches TO Pitts
burg. Chicago, st. Paul and Omaha" 1t is true that
bill of this kind has been introduced: but the
only appropriation proposed in it is one of $50 600
or so much thereof as may be necessary to pay for
the survey of the proposed routes.
Another item, which he puts down mt 1857. .jOO,-
600, is covered by bill introduced bv Mr. Brown
of Indiana, organizing the National Railway Com
pany of the United States for the purpose of con-
structing a dOube-track. cheap freight railway
from NewYork to Chicago, st. Louis and Council
Bluffs" A bill bearing this title is now pending
before the committees of the Senate and the House
but it does not propose the granting of a single dol
lar. either in cash. lands, or credit of the United
States. 1t authorizes the company TO sell $57 COO
900 worth of stock, and to issue first mortgage
bonds at the rate of $4,000 a mile for the road
which is to be constructed and the interest on these
bonds is to be paid at the Treasury Department,
but not until the funds out Of which il is TO be paid
and sufficient additional sum to cover extra cleri-
cal labor required in connection with the work.
have been supplied by the company.
third item of $50, 100000 Is based On bill ex-
tending the time to construct and complete the
Northern Pacific Road, although that bill does not
propose to grant the value Of single dollar either
in cash, credit or lands, to that company, which
was not granted by the original act
Subtracting these thee large items from Mr.

ONE OF THE WITNESSES AN ADVENTURE.
Selllirk. the latest witness in the Florida case is
well known in Washington. He is believed to be
the same man who got into trouble here few
months ago by falsely representing that he
was q friend Of Mr.. W. X. Rogers the
Presidents private secretary, and was au-
thorlzed to contract debts on his account.
Selkirk has referred to Mr.. Dunnel of Minnesota,
and the latter said to-day that he had consulted
with his friends as to whether it would be well for
him to make n statement upon the floor OF the
House in answer to SelkirpS allegation that he
DuuncD had supported him with money in Florida.
His friends advised him that it was quite nm
necessary While Mr.. Dunncll i'll Florida
with the committee sent down there by the iIonSe,
Selkirk introduced himself to him privately at the
Continental Hotel. Jacksonville, alleging that he
had been sent down there by Attorney-Gencral Taft
as special agent TO work in the interests of Hayes,
but Mr. Taft had failed TO send him money, and he
wanted an advance or Il loan. Being requested 10
