THE "LAsT MAN.r-Dr. John L. Vattier, an old
resident of Cincinnati, died on the 18th inst In
the year 1s;i2, nearly forty-nine years ago, when
the cholera was raging so fearfully throughout
the United States, seven citizens Of Cincinnati
happened to meet together in a room. In speak
ing of the pestilence the idea was suggested to
form an association of those seven, who Tor the
surviyors) should hold an annual dinner on that
anniversary. A bottle of wine, tightly corked
and appropriately labeled, was provided, which
they agreed should be kept year after year, until
but one of the party was left, when the survivor
should dine alone, on the anniversary, and should
open the bottle, and drink the contents to the
memory of those who had gone before. The
party dropped of, one by one, year after year,
until 1855, when the last but one died. The last
survivor was DR.. Yattier, who opened and drank
the wine; and now, more than quarter of
century after the last of his companions died, he
has passed away. There is something both ro-
mantle and sad in incidents like these

n The only good thing that any man has
been able tosay of Hayes Administration is, that
it has been free from scandals If Hayes desires
to maintain this solitary virtue he should relieve
old Christiancy of his foreign mission. An old
dotard who would marry young girl, and then
conspire with white-livered Cuban to ruin her
reputation, in order to secure divorce, and then
set up the plea that this young girl manoeuvered
and schemed to entrap the old fool into matri-
mony, ought to be kicked clear out of the coun-

u Since the Legislature has set in to reform
old abuses, there is an injustice of some years
standing that they ought to close out for keeps.
1t is the law requiring stray notices to be pub
lished in the Kansas Farmer. That paper was
always nonentity, and has been growing in
initely more so for several years past. The pub
ication of stray notices in that paper is of very
little utility, and there is sense in compelling
County Clerks to publish all such notices in its
columns.

z Some one in the Legislature has introduced
a bill, which has among its provisions require
ment that County Superintendents shall devote
their whole time to the duties of the Office Then,
the law should have remained As it was original
ly, and the Superintendent's salary been MAIN
tanned. Legislature, few years ago, in one
of its bunghole and spigot fits of economy, find
ing that it could not consttutionally abolish the
office of County Superintendent, cut down his
salary to the lowest possible notch, and relieved
him of the dirty of visiting the schools through
out the County. Now, we suppose, some one
wants to put the work back upon his shoulders,
without restoring his salary

Hollow MoCKERY.-After George W. Martin
had Withdrawn his name as a candidate for State
Printer, resolution was offered and unanimous
ly adopted, complimenting him for the splendid
work he had done for the State, and for the con-
scientious honesty that had characterized all his
public transactions This was the sheerest bun-
combe. If Mr.. Martin had done such magnifi-
cent work, and conducted his affairs so honestly,
why were so many ofthose who voted for the res
olution so eager to turn him out, and put one in
his place who knew nothing of the business, and
who had never been triedi Buncombe resolu-
tions are poor consolation, in such a case.

"Here's Your Mule

Last fall, the Republicans of the st. Joseph
District, over the river, were bnlldozed into
voting for Nicholas Ford, Greenbaeker, for Con-
gress; and after the election, a blast was sent
by telegraph against the st. Joseph Postmaster,
for taking his choice As between two enemies Of
the Republican party. Although not our fight,
the Chief raised its voice against the Republican
mountain going to the Grcenbaek Mahomet.
We call attention to the following, sent from
Washington to Gov. Plaisted, of Maine, upon
the occasion of his Inauguration:
House OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON Janua-
~ 1--we most cordially congratulate you and all
who aided in clecting you to office Governor of
the Commonwealth Of Maine On your able and patri-
o;ie address We greatly rejoice ALSO on account of
the harmony that exists in your State.

We find here the name of Nicholas Ford
signed to the dispatch. We do not find fault
because he congratulated Grecnbacker upon
his success; but in the dispatch is contained
approval Of the coalition by which Plaisted was
elected, and congratulatiOn Of those who took
part in it. Now, that fusion was not to benefit
the Greenback party, except in certain local
Offices in Maine. The prime object was to insure
the election of Hancock, by defeating the Re-
publicans in the first State election during the
campaign, thereby tending to demoraIizc and
dishearten them. The subsequent fusion, in the
matter of Presidential Electors, was clear sell
out of the Grecnbaekers to the Democrats, by
which the vote Of Maine was to lie withheld
from Garfield, and given to Hancock, if necessa-
~ to elect him. This is what Nicholas Ford
congratulated the Maine Fusionists upon, and
this fusion was under full headway when the
Republicans of Ford's District wen being bull
dozed into supporting him. We call the atten-
ton of the newspaper friend who recently took
us to task on the subject, to this little matter.
Mr.. Ford may fulfill his promise to act with the
Republicans in the organization of the House,
because they have n majority without him; but
if he held the balance of power, his policy
would be that of the Maine Fusionists whom he
would unite with the Demo-
Gratis to beat the Republicans.
