MEN OF WEALTH.

Burdette IN the BurngtonHawkeYe.
Editors are usually wealthy" the man
with the sample case remarked.
EYES," said, "thcy are familiar with
ali the slang and business phrases of the
money market: they write about millions
as ordinary men talk about dollars: they
know how to pay the national debt; they
build railroads.: they organize mining
aud magnificent transportation companies
with fabulous capitol: they declare war
without consulting the Rothschilds,
and if all the banks in America were to
fail to morrow, the editors wouldn't be a
cent poorer than they are to-day. Yes,
they are rich. They associate with the
moneyed class; they SIT down to the table
with kings, and sometimes, in happier,
luckier moments, with aces: if you want
to borrow money, 60 to the editor, he will
turn to the advertising columns and tell
you where you can borrow it. If you
have money to loan, rather than see you
suffer, he will borrow it Of YOU himself.
Rich? he knows the secrets Of the money
cd rings; he divulges the plan and
schemes of the heavy operators of the
people: he roars himself louder than the
bulls; and growls among the bears; his
voice is heard in the temples Of the money
changers, asking for money: he MARBLES
his little roundelay out on the curbstone,
in melancholy minor key, when he
doesn't get it. Oh yes, editors are rich.
When you want to spend all the money
you have in this wide, vide world. 60 to
your lawyer; when you want something
done for nothing, hic to your newspaper
Office. Then when you want to send
some man to congress, send your lawyer,
because you can get along without him."

silence filed the ear like dream Of peace

subscribers living in the village to the
effect that they don't get their paper. The
tact is, the carrier boy usually starts in

The paper on the door step or in the latch,
there being no one up. We know the
papers are delivered, and if any of our
subscribers faiito get it, the cause can
simply be attributed to theft. A man
who will stoop 50 low as to steal his
ne,ghbor's paper rather than subscribe for
it himself will steal anything from the

acquitted about month ago, met ID. X. An

through his body, inflicting serious wound.
Physicians think he will recover. Baker

The condition of Lucian Baker, one Of the

ton to kill Col. ID. II. Anthony, is considered
critical tonight. Douglass, the other vic
tim. is doing well.

guarded. The excitement is feverish. Michael
