The earnestness with which the edi-
tor Of the Argus combats the propOri-
ton advanced by . correspondent Of
the CHIEF, recently; that the interests
of the railroad company and that Of
the people are not identical, approaches
the ridiculous. That any man with .
thimble full of brains could not see
that the only object Of said correspOn-
dent was to make political capital
against a candidate for the suffrsges Of
the people, passes our comprehension.
II does not require any great degree Of
mental ability TO comprehend the fact
that this country would be practically
worthless without q railroad, or that
the railroad could not be self support
ing without the people TO raise produce
and stock that must be transported to
markets in the east. Thus We find that
the railroad company and the people
are mutually dependent upon each
other for their very existance, almost.
Anyone can see this at q glance, hence
the proposition Of the Argus to argue
the point" seems absured and ride
ulOus.

GLYcER1NE is the sweet principle Of
oils, the base Of compounds found. in
animal fats and also in some vegetable
substances. It is a product Of the pro-
cess OF saponific cation. As prepared by
the armaceutists, it is taken up with
boiling water from its mixture in a free
state with the plumbiferous soap called
lead plaster. The plaster is made by
boiling together Gtharge (onde of lead
olive oil, and water. The oil is decom-s
posed by the lead taking its acids, and
the glycerine is thus liberated. The lead
is got rid Of by fltering, and the water
IS removed by evaporation at a tempera-
ture below212 deg, leaving the glycer-
me. Various other methods Of preparing
it are in use.

"New bonnet, new bonnet -twelve dol
lars for a new bonnetp' exclaimed Mr..
Slick, the other evening, as his wife sug-
gested change from the winter STYLES.
Eyes, only twelve dollars, !" she humbly
replied. s
Twelve dollars for q bonnet Is ! con-
founded outrage, and I know il, e he went
on. Why, lean buy two fine silk hats
Tor that money, and have some strawber-
~ change lett. It's a dead swindle to
ask twelve dollars for bonnet"
swell, can't do any better, Mr.. Slick.
That is the price, and must pay it or 90
without"
"You don't know how to buy-that's
what ails you," he growled. .sI'll bet
money that I can buy twelve dollar
bonnet for eight dollars. It is all in
knowing how to handle the salesmen.n
II wish you'd try it!'
II wildly George! will! I'll bring
you up new bonnet IN the morning. and
I'll get it four dollars cheaper than you
dare top
Mr.. Slick was as good as his word. He
went into a millinery store next forenoon
with his eyeteeth all sharpened, and with
the idea in his mind that every bonnet
IN the store was priced at exactly twelve
dollars. He looked around alittle, selec-
ted bonnet that pleased him, and point
ing his cane at it, and calling up his deep
est voice, he inquired:
"Are you asking twelve dollars for that
bonnet?''
The woman flushed, looked from the
bonnet to the man, and was trying to re-
ply, when he said:
s'These are not the times for outrageous
prices, and all buyers realize it. I'll give
you eight dollars for that bonnet, and not
a cent more"
s'That that bonnet
Eight dollars, and no more!" he In
terrupted and SIZE put the article in
box, and took his money.
V "What'd ] tell my wife, eh9D whispered
he, as he went out. IT tell you it takes
a man to buy goods, no matter whether
it's fence posts or paper cambria. =
When he sat down at home and took
the cover off the box and held up the
bonnet, Mrs. Slick asked:
How much did she charge you?''
EIGHT dollars, madam while YOU
would have paid twelve"
