NEXT Friday is Valentines day. The
young people will run to the postoffice,
gobble a bunch of SEALED envelopes and
then waltz to some secluded spot to see
the contents. Beyond all doubt the old
fellow that presides down stairs puts on
an extra furcc of clerks to chronicle the
cuss words uttered that day when u hope.
full young man opens AL envelope and
beholds q horrible picture explained by
u verse OF machine poetry. He feels
like thrsshlng somebody, and is sure as a
general rule to tackle the worng fellow.
Many people coald he christians were it
not for the confoundcd valentines that
they get every year. One of these wretch
ed pictures will make = fellow forget in
less than two minutes all he has learned fol
u year in Sunday school. Several young
fellows 10 this city are practicing on ths
use of appropriate language for that &C.
casion. From what we have heard WI
think it strong enough for all earthly
purposes.

THE other day "a young fellow mailing
fromSioux Falls pu, up ut the Elk Point
House, and after getting Il II square meal
went to one Of our ~shocmakers to get his
boots half suled. When the work was
done lie tried the game of stand off,
but the shoemaker was not that kind OF
II fellow. The young chap was in a
terrible fix. He had no money, and
nothing that he could very conveniently
give rs security. The boots he had to
have. At last the shoemaker told him
he would take his pants IS security. To
get his boots he shed his pants, but was
fortunate enough to have al aged pair
underneath. In the morning he jumped
his bill, and left for parts unknown.
The shoemaker has a pair Of pants he
offers to sell at a bargain.

Gov. Howard in pardoning William
Whitlock, who was fined Mt the last term
of court for putting a fellow out of his
house, has done q noble act. Mr.. Whit
lock did not deserve the verdict brought
in by the jury, as he did no more than
any other man would have done under
like circumstances. The COURIER asser-
ted at the time that the finding of the
jury WAS contrary to common sense and
justice, not backed by the facts brought
out in the trial. Developments since the
trial condemn the verdict, and when
eight jurymen sigu a petition asking for
an abatement Of the fine and costs, it il
reasonable to suppose that there is a
"nigger in the fence" and no small one
at that. The colored gentleman has
emerged but as Mr.. Whltlock comes ont
clear, We will not disclose anything. Gov
Howard has shown himself an honorable
official in saving 40 inn cent man from
paying an unjust fine.

- The Nottfst,i Democracy are beginning
to sdnirri ,nier the lash Of their Southern mas.
fers anu signs of insurrcction arc beginning to
crop out. Bragg, Democratic Congressman
FROM Wisconsin, made a speech. the other day,
which, If it had been by Republican, would
have been eal.sd Llo".y shirt exhibition. He
denounced the Southern rebel claims in the most
emphatic terms, and declared that the Northern
Democrats woaid never submit to them. He
lashed the Southern slave-drivers in to fury, and
a change in the order of business was all that
prevented a regular quarrel in the family then
and there. A majority of the Northern Demo-
cratic members still show disposition to cringe,
but several have, of late, shown determination
to rebel. They see the shadow Of solid North
fast lowering upon them. 1t is coming, and can
not be stayed. 1t will envelope the Democratic
party in gloom, in 1880.

r. Events tend to substantiste the charge
made during the campaign, that the nomination
of st. John was the result of bargain between
him and Anthony, by which the lattcr's interests
were to be protected. The first batch Of Gov.
st. Johns appointments inclnded Martindale,
Anthony's right bower, for Director of the Pen
itemtiary, and Faulkner, one Of AnthOny's supes,
aud Sharpe, one Of his chrome followers, for

ture has some otuer duties to perform than look

is composed of lawyers, of course. But when
the Printers Association meets, and takes meas

how the lawyers howl, and 60 for them! What
