Orator Cary.

Tho following cruel portrait is drawn
OF Gen. Sam Cary. la.s ereenback
later democratic orator, by Don PIa,t
Its cruelty consists in its truth. Don
Piatt says:
The trouble with Samuel Fentnn
Cary is that his very existence ~ a
casualty He never was designed cor
any known purpose ami OF coJ-e-
quence appears among us - a very
unnecessary man. vas requested IL
Columbus to answer ~psech tiqs he
has been making Tor 6ty years
+ Laughter ] Sometimes It is thrown
out in favor of temperan e, sometimes
in behalf of the late war, sometimes
in support of morus muiticanus, some
times in favor of monument TO some
body, sometimes for one thing and
sometimes for another, but always the
same agonizing howl, and always paid
for. | might as we'll be asked to re-
ply 10 a steam whistle a Chinese gong
or bad smell. Loud laughter and
cries Of That's 50 ; | think Sam
uel FeEt3n Cary night be used to
swell procession to act as fire altrm
OF a fog horn laIghterl but he always
reminds me OF story told bv the
late Sidney Smith who said that 4
farmer could always tell the number
of the coming litter by counting the
,eat. provided by kind nature fer
the approaching family Of swine. The
witty Sidney said there was generally
teat for each pig. But sometimes,
through an eccentricity of nature, one
pig more appeared than had been pro
vidcd for. In this case the poor little
piggie went fighting from tcat to teat,
driven off by the lawful possessor until
forced by hunger and desperation, it
would size on the cauial appsndage of
the indifferent mother, and then suck
and squeal and squeel AMI suck until
exhausted nature found reliefin death
In this way Samuel Fenton Cary has
come into this world, without design,
and OF course without provision, and
he has gone fighting for teat from
from party to party, until at last he
has fastened on the tail end of the
democratic swine, aud there he squeals
and sucks and sucks and squeals until
Divine Providence shall remove him
TO another and better world.

Death Of Capt. Russell.

Capt. II. Russell, late Of the firm
Of v ced / Russell, Of Oshkosh, died
at the Curran House, at 5:l5 P. II. on
Monday, the 18th inst Capt. Russell
has been connected with quite extern
slye numbering interests on the Wis
consin River for number of years,
and was part owner of the Barnum
Mills when they were burned few
wears since. AS our time iOr going to
press is Shorthand our space limited, We
will not attempt at this time extended
remarks on the character, &c, of the
deceased. Indeed. that would be
hardly necessary. as his cordial hear
~, whole-souled manner had given
him an extensive acquaintance and
won for him so large circle of friends
that We might say ''cvcrybody knew
him"
Capt. Russell cut and run on Plover
River last season about four million
feet Of pine timber for G. w. Mitchell
& Son, and was repairing to put III
about the same amount the coming
winter. 1t was at his camps THAI he
was attacked with inhamatory rhsu-
matism the last days OF October. On
Saturday, the LIST inst, he was brought
TO this place, having to ride in wag-
on distance of thirty FIVE miles,
which was very painful to the sufferer,
and tended to asgravats the disease.
Or. Remington, OF this place, was i'm
mediately called, and attended him
during his illness. As it soon bee ;mc
evident that the case was 4 severe one,
Mrs. Russell was sent for and came on
Immediately from Oshkosh, and re-
Mained with her husband until his
death. Early last week DR.. Barber,
Of Oshkosh, Capt RusselI's family
physician, was summoned, who re-
sponded at once and remained one
dav, giving his counsel with Dr. Rem
inston. On Thursday, the 18th INST. g,
the case became so serious that Dr.
Phillips was called to counsel with DR..
Remington. and on Friday Capt Rus
sell was told that he probably could
not survive the disease. On Sunday
night Mr. Geo, Russell (son of deceas-
ed) arrived from Ba.num, and on
Monday Capt Russell brother, Mr.
Lyman Russell, of Fremont, arrived
about P NJ, on W. G, r. H. fire ght
train, the train being about two hours
late. This last arrival was none 100
early. as Capt. Russell Aas simply able
10 recogu re his brother, offer MIN his
hand, and in few moments expired
The remains were taken TO Oshkosh
for interment on Tuesday evening )

FRENCH LEAVE.

Owing to the absence of Commissioners Wheeler
from the city and the consequent unwillingness Of
Commissioner French to be in minority. the Police
Board is unable to transact any business. At last
weeks meeting Mr.. French startled when he
learned that a few changes to be made IN the
removal of certain officials in the Street Cleaning
Bureau and the appointment of new hands in their
place. He saw clearly that if the two democratic
Commissioners voted together they would fill the
proposed vacant places with their own henchmen,
which would destroy the political balance of power
in the department. Mr.. French. therefore, pleaded
league. Mr.. Wheeler. radical changes
should be made. and on that account
he was in favor of laying the proposition
to remove Captain Rightmeye OF the schooner U. s.
Grant, for week. Mr.. MacIean urged that it
was necessary dispense with the services of Cap
tain Rightmeye, that official had been derect in
his duty in dumping garbage in the bay. After
prolonged discussion Mr.. French carried his point,
with tho understanding that the case would be con-
was to take place half-past eleven O'Clock A. NJ.
Punctual to the appointed time Commissioners
MacLean and Morrison were in attendance in
the Board room, while Commissioner French re-
maned in his office down stairs. That official being
notified that his attendance was requested AS the
Board was about to convene quietly slipped out OF
the building without leaving word when he would
be back where he had gone. This action pre-
vented the possibility of the Board holding its
chairman. announced that there being quorum
the Board would adjourn until half-past one P. NJ.
At that time the situation remained Unchanged
which necessitated an adjournment sine de.
