The Penalty Of Parting YOnr Name
In lhc Middle

In free country man ought TO be able
to write his name as his father gave il to
him, no matter how absurd or silly the
name may be. But he can't. Macaulay
could write his name I. BabIngton, and the
English poet was II. Kirke White without
being charged with lunacy. But you can't
do these things in this country. President
Pierce was probably named Benz. Franklin;
if so, he dropped the Benz. He was poll
tician, and had to submit to the uuwritten
American law.

there is no institution in New York or
Boston that furnishes papers or anything
else without expecting in some manner
to be rewarded. 1t is believed by some
that Ben. Butler is contributing heavily
toward the expense, as the papers teach
exactly the same doctrines that Ben. is
now preaching in Massachusetts. But
Ter wants to be President, and he thinks
by sowing the seeds of heresy he may
work up strength sufficient, to get
nomination from some party in 1880.
1t is more probable, however, that the
chief part of the expense of this riff
raft is borne by New York parties who
formerly found occupation in selling
gold and in dealing in stocks, which they
could manipulate to better advantage
when there was a premium on gold.
They are smart enough to see that in
fation, or any disturbance which will
bring up the price of gold, it being
presumed by them that resumption will
not take place, will give them an op-
portunity to again swindle the public
by their transactions in Wall Street.
There is mischief in the matter some
where, and if the victims can be found
in Vermont, there are parties in New
York and elsewhere, who will be very
glad to take their feeces. Beware

WHO PAYS FOR THEM

During the present season a deluge
of greenback papers have been sent into
the country gratis, or at prices just
about sufficient to pay the postage. We
sometime since received letter from
parties who were placing" this kind of
literature. which stated, land the joke
was pretty good) that they had been in
formed that we were the president of a
greenback club The letter wanted the
names of leading citizens to whom they
might send their rotten papers gratis.
These papers, as everybody knows who
has read them, are filled with repudia-
ton. initiation, greenback. communistic
and incendiary articles which tend to
create antipathies between the laborer
and the capitalist-the poor and the
rich; and create hatred and discomfort
among the laboring classes, and caution
want of confidence and alarm among
those who have money to loan, or to In
vest in business SO soon as the times arr
favorable. 1t is not necessary to des
cant on the evils that such a food o
poison infict on the public mind.

eye he accomplishes precisely what he
attempted to do, whether he assumes
position looking like an inebriated 49,"
or not. Neither should the critic lose
sight of the fact that there is no sport
freer from objections than rifle shooting.
No one with nerves unstrung by dissi-
patton can hope to compete. The hand
must be steady and the eye and judg-
ment clear, for without these require
ments no man can hope to enter the
lists as successful rifeman.
Every now and again somebody turns
up here with a story about fortune
which he or she is about to come into
as the "long lost" child, relative or de-
scendant of some old Croesus who has
been dead for many years. The public
are duly RECALLED with glowing ac-
count of the claimants claims and pros
poets, but then the whole matter drops
out of sight, the claimant usually being
either lunatic or an impostor. We
are just now going through one of these
periodical attacks. The hero in this
case is bluff and weather beaten old
sailor named Morgan, who has come all
the way down from Maine to look after
little triie of $1,5OO,OOO which he
says clearly belongs to him as heir of
some old chap who lived in New York
far back in the memory of this genera
ton, and which he will doubtless get
when the sky falls.
And, by the way, speaking of theo-
logical matters, Mr.. Beeeher has just
got back from his long vacation and
lecturing tour in the far west, heavier
in body and in pocket, and brimful of
health and eloquence. Brother Talmage
since his detective work amid the slums
of New York, has so risen in the esti-
nation of his flock, that his salary has
been raised from 81, 900 to $4,000 pei
year. So Talmage is happy and is even
more vigorous than before in his denun.
