~ritorial treasurer shall on or before the 18th
day of December proceeding each regular
session of the legislative assembly make a
.eport containing a full and true exhibit of
the state Of the public accounts and funds,
the amount by him received, the amount
paid out during the preceding fiscal year
ending on the 30h Of November, and the
balance remaining in the treasury, &c. The
treasurer had not complied with this..provis.
ion Of the law, and if any injustice has been
done him it is his fault-not that of the
governor. 1t was not the desire or intens
tion Of the governor to assail the integrity
of Mr.. Sherman; he merely in
the discharge of his duty, gave to the
public the facts in his possession. If the
knowledge of the territorial finances in his
possession we're unsatisfactory and left a sls-
picion resting upon the territorial treasurer,
the responsibility must rest with the latter
officer in not + finishing a report of the
transactions of his Office in accordance with
the requirements Of law.
Mr.. Pettigrew replied that if the govern
or would correct his own mistake there
would be nothing to complain Of. He be.
lieved that candor and truth had not con.
trolled in this matter. and that the state

The Other Side.

While the voluminous banker reports
from all sections of the country are to the
effect that q bright and glorious era of
business revival is about to dawn upon us,
actual business is presenting picture OF
an entirely different character
The Chicago Tribune of the oath inst,
says:
ut is asserted the present will see the
lowest price ever reached in America by
anthracite coal, that variety having fallen
so much in price as to threaten to drive
bituminous coal out of the market in many
places.
The Chicago Times, same date, says:
"No improvement in the condition of
local monetary affairs last week, and fur
ther suspensions are expected"
The monetary affairs of England are so
infinitely connected with those of this
country, that any serious trouble felt there
must sensibly effect the commercial inter-
ests here. A cable dispatch Of the 2lst,
says:
TRADE does not seem to improve. The
distress continues. The strikes 90 on, the
workingmen only giving way when starved
out. In France such troubles lead to rev.
olution, so the government votes millions
of francs to relieve the commercial distress
and contemplates new measures To protect
trade. In England depression means pub
lie subscriptions and emigration"
Such evidences are not fattering for the
immediate return Of business prosperity
Weekly Chillicothe crisis. (Chillicothe, Livingston Co., Mo.) 1878-19??, 1879-04-10

In the following playful manner the
New York Mercury gossips about the ie'
male ears;
The human ear, more than any other
protubcrance, links us with the animal
kingdom. People pay little attention to
the shape and dimensions OF this queer
organ OF sound, yet it is full of character.
Our female friends should look closely to
the ear before giving themselves away,
and males should study well its structure
when the feminine arrangements OF the
hair permits them to do so. The jackass
and the hound have the largest, longest
ears, in proportion to their size and
weight, OF all other animals Of their king.
dom. One is highly sensual. noisy and
combative, and the latter quality he has
transmitted to the mule, which has a
natural antipathy to mankind in Its heel,
while the other is a sneak and coward.
In a human being these qualities are all
combined in persons of long, large flap.
ping ears. There are ears which stand
out fiom the head like those of pointer
dog, and this arises from large or very
large destructiveness, an organ which lies
| lust back of and around them. The own
er of such appendages is always on the
alert for row, and will make things live
y in the domestic circle. The Sing Sing
convict style of young men who have
hair cut close to their craniums enable
sensible girls to investigate that kind of
ear. In the female the ear tells story Of
future bliss or misery in married life.
Sharp eyes denote sharp tempers and a
disposition to slaughter character. They
belong to the gossips of every neighbor.
hood Small ears evince sel6shness and
egotism. Oval ears indicate disposition
which is neither even or uneven, and
round ears corresponding roundness,
and consequent insipidity oftemperament.
The handsomest and most feminine of
ears is that which is slightly and delicate
" curved-pear-sh shaped and of medium
size. As the curved line is the line OF
beauty, that sort of beauty indicates a re-
fined and lovely organization. Perhaps
in the aitertime we may evolute out OF all
connection with the lower animals, just as
the little feathered songsters in a lady's
boudoir seems to have done, whose or
gans of hearing are hidden. As things
now are, it is not probable that the jack
ass entertains private and silent disdain
to our ears, because they are close to- the
head, just as we despise him for his long
appendages.

From the Little Christian.
Two country lads came at an early hour
to market town, and arranging their lit
tie stands, sat down to wait for custom
ers. One was furnished with fruits and
vegetables of the boys own cultivation,
and the other supplied with Holsters and
fish. The market hours passed along,
and each little merchant saw with pleas.
ure his stores steadily decreasing, and an
equivalent in silver shining in his LITTLE
money cup. The last melon lay on Har.
ry's stand, when Il gentleman came by,
and placing his hand upon It, said:
"What fine melon! What do ask tor
it, my ooy?'
THE melon is the last have, sir aud
though it looks very fair, there is an nm,
sound spot in it, said the boy, turning 1t
80 there is" said the man; "a thml;
| will not take it. But" he added, look

-, it very unbusinrss like 10 point ont the
,lrtrrts Of your iui TO the customers?

said the hoy, molcstIy.
"You are all right, little fellow; always
remember that principle, and you will find
favor with God and man also. ! shall re-
member your little stand in the future
Are those Holsters fresh?' he contin'
ued. turning to Ben Williams.
"Ycs, SIR; fresh this morning; caught
them myself was the reply, and a pur-
chase being made, the gentleman went
away.
Harry, what fool you were to show
the gentleman that spot in the melon,
Now you can take it home for your pains,
or throw it away How much wiser is he
about those Holsters | caught yesterday?
Sold them for the sane price did the
fresh ones. He would never have looked
at the melon until he had gone away"
"Ben, would not tell Il lie, or act one
either, for twice what have earned this
morning. Besides shall be better Oft IN
the end; for | have gained a customer, and
you have lost one"
A man who, by lying and cheating,
drives away one customer day, will IN a
little while have very few left, and they
will soon find him out and leave him.

A Wise Acre.

A Washington special to The Enquirer
in reference to the proposition of the
Greenbackers to attack financial legisla-
ton to the appropriation bill says:
"Such an attempt, however, would be
utterly futile, as all financial amendments
to the appropriation bills would be ruled
out Of order, on the ground that it is new
legislation, and not in the interest Of
economy"
The same argument would preclude the
necessity OF any new legislation during
the next two years, for what possible meas
ure in the interest Of economy can be de-
manded after the first Monday in Decem-
ber next, that is not now demandedp If
the interests of economy have been so ad-
mirably protected during the last twenty
years Of Republican rule, that the party
Just come into power finds nothing to do,
or undo where was the necessity for a
