As an evidence of how some oftEe
Republican officers abuse the trust
confded to them it is only necessary
to recite the case of Nj. Hunt, the
Secretary of the Navy, who keeps a
government vessel, the Dispatch, for
the personal pleasure of himself and
friends. He goes to Fortress Mon
roe every Saturday, remaining there
until Monday. The fare by the reg
ular steamer is but $3.50, yet he al
ways uses the Dispatch, the daily
coal bill alone of which is about $50.
The other expenses run the bill up
to several hundred dollars per day.
This does not include the long list OF
officers and sailors who are on her,
and whose daily salary for the party
reaches up to at least $500 more pei
day.

GUITEAU, the assassin of the Pres
ident, made stump speeches for the
Republican party last fall, in which
he stigmatised Gen. HANCOCK as a
"reoel." He is a fair specimen OF
the kind of creatures who make use
of such epithets against Democrats,
and proves the "true inwardness" of
their intelligence.

JOHN w. BooKwALTER, the Demo,

The thing of widows and orphans
being asked for contributions to
raise a fund of $25O,0O0 to be pre-
scented to the wife of the man who
draws a salary of $4,000 per year,
is rather ridiculous. The money
snobs ought to be ashamed of them
selves. 7t

Mrs. Garfield would show herself

Marriage Insurance Companies
are not uniformly regarded with fav-
or by the Judges of Pennsylvania, in
which State they have suddenly be-
come numerous. The methods of
these concern are various, but the
common practice is to pay certain
sums of money to members at their
wedding. Judge Henderson ofLeb-
anon county refused a charter on the
ground that marriage is not a legi.i-
mate subject for insurance, as il does
not depend on contingencies beyond
the control of the individual. Judge
Mitchell, of Philadelphia, on the
other hand, grants charters without
hesitation.

If President GARFIELD should die,
no person would object to his widow

The villain GUITEAU, who attempt
ed the life of the President, makes a
confession which is published in the
New York Sun, and sht VS. that as
far back as the 18th of May, or six
weeks before he fired the.shots ofthe
I'd of July, lie came to his murder
our determination; and before the
close of the month of May he was
searching through Washington for
the kind of pistol he desired. This
pistol he procures on the 9Th of June,
and at once began to practice with
it. Four days a~fterward, or on the
18th of June Sunday, he equipped
himself with his pistol and followed
the President TO church; but, finding
the circumstances unfavorable, he
did not use it. During the week he
visited the church, examined it with
reference to the Presidents seat, and
was satisfied he could accomplish
his purpose, which he determined to
carry out there the next Sunday; but
learning the President would leaye
the city On Saturday, he made pre-
p~aration to shoot him a. the depot,
p%racticing once more with his pistol
in the early hours of that morning.
He was kept from his purpose at that
time, according to his own story, by
his sympathles-Mrs. GARFIELD
looking so frail that he had not the
heart to shoot her husband in hel
presence. Four days afterward
when the President was out riding
GUITEAU again armed himself with
the pistol. and watched for an oppor
tunity, which, however, he did moi
find. Again, on the 1st of July
when watching for the President
who came out of the White House
alone, he followed him as far as the
residence of MI. BLAINE, and wher
the President with Mr.. BLAINE re
turned to the White House he AGAR
followed them; but on neither O
occasions did he find his opportuni
ty. It vas the next day that he per
petrated the crime, having previous
ly examined the pistol and tried tht
trigger.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Republican papers have always
claimed a patent right on being the
advocates of temperance, of late a
great change has come over the spirit
of their dreams. Every once in a
while one of them says something
calculated to startle those whose
faith is pinned to the Republican
party as the exponent of all that is
good in the human heart and COM
mandatory in human practices. No

proprietors of big business and man

their employees into voting the Re

printed and bound, at the nominal cost of as.
seemed to the msjority of book-buyers so
remarka hl- that the second Literary Revolu-
ton, which reduces the cost of this most
excellent work to so, seems almost incredi-
bic. The facts of the case are, however, made
80 evident and so reasonable, that there can
be no questioning them. We have in this
Office some of the volumes which demonstrate
their superior character in every way, and the
facts and figures which are published in detail
in an article on last page of this paper, under
the title of "a Second Literary Revolution"
show very clearly, though verv surprisingly,
how it is possible to m k, such an extremely
valuable and costly Cyclop@dia accessible to
the masses at such a trifiing cost.

might exist in the minds of some that this is
only plausible scheme for getting large

Society Gossip.

Ed. Register
Pilot Knob continues to hold its own as an
object of interest to strangers, well as to
81 ne folks" Last Tuesday evening we saw
a party vending it's way toward its base; and
upon inquiry found it to consist of our emf
nent artist, Prof. Hlnchey and family, of Ar
C I'd a; Mrs. 8. NJ Chapman, Of Poplar Bluff;
Mrs. and Miss Gideon, Miss Iona and Messrs.
I. D. and l.. Baldwin, John Holloman. and
Mr. and Mrs. VIM. Reel. We found that the
electric light was the attraction in this in
stance; and can say from personal observa-
ton that the sight amply repiys all efforts
made in it's behalf.
Last Wednesday we were in receipt of an
invitation to party TO be given at Mrs. &.
A. Moser's on Thursday evening, and making
it point never to miss anything which prom
ises SO much real enjoyment as an entertain
ment pre- sided over bv such charming young
ladies as Misses Mamie AMI Etfie, we were
promptly on hand.
U5on our arrival we found that orr kind
hostess Mrs. Moser, had the carpet I'D in one
ot the rooms, music pr ,vided. and everything
arranged to make us have ''gran old time"
Soon we we're "whirling through the gidiy
from "Uncle Guito's' vic in. 1t would seem,
from the way liz which Mr.. Moser has things
liked, that he remembers he was once young,
mot intending to imply that he is old.) In
the yard are several seats, AMI n Ger than all,
large swim that will hold Isl two. 1t was
surprising how soon the young folks would
discover that the rooms were almost suffocat
ing. and they must go out in the yard to get
breath of fresh air; and there was no pl ce
so very cool as the swing. About eleven
O'Clock orders came for all to come IN and sit
down; aud though esch one tried TO look I'M
conscious, there was the tell-J4le glance of
the eye, which seemed t. say, Il know what
Is coming now"
And sure enough we did. In few minutes
there was passed som. OF the most delicious
ice cream and cake that it has been onr good
fortune TO taste for long time. We think
Misses Mamie and Effie will carry off the palm
for cake baking; and, from appearances,
think they will carry off something more sub
stantial. in the way OF young mems hearts.
The CHI lcolate cake was very nice, even IL salt
was used Instead of sugar.
The amount Of ice-cream and cake disposed
of by "Nobie,'' was a caution; caution lot
to invite Tim unless yon think you have
very great abundance. He proved himself a
very able representative OF the Band; and
come to speak of it, the Band had several able
representatives present. After the refresh
menus TeceiScu Bncir uut dtllouuLo d'GcnbOus
we had some more dancn,, and some charm
ing music by Mrs. John Baldwin, assisted by
others.
Then after induging in wit and repartee
until one o'clock, We babe our kind friends
good night and took a reluctant departure 10
our several homes. We woull like to give
the names of those present. but our article is
cen now too long. We will be content to
say, that it was one of the most enj,vsble af-
fairs we have had the pleasure Of attending
for quite while. GOssIPER.
