An old printer tells several amusing
printing office anecdotes in late num-
Der Of the Forest and Stream, and
winds.up with one about small black
and tan terrier. AS everybody knows,
one of the ancient kings Of ireland was
turned into dog by the fairies; and
when you see one dog examine another
dog with his nose, which is the custom
of all. dogs when they first meet, you
may know that he is engaged in the
endless hunt for this unhappy king Of
Ireland. This terrier being in a large
city had to be muzzled, according to
law, during the dog-days. When muz-
zled thick leather band encircled the
mouth to prevent its being opened to
bite. A mischievous boy, news boy,
took this little terrier in his LAP, and
thrust.a stout needle through the nose
band, so that the needle projected at an
angle Of about forty-ive degrees, some-
thing like a rhinoceros' snout, except
that the needle was not visible to cas-
nal observer. The first dog that came
along was large mastitf, and as soon as
the little terrier thrust his nose under
him to see if he was the metamorphosed
king of Ireland, the mastif suddenly
departed in double-quick time as if ex-
ploding fire-crackers were attached to
his tail; and thus it continued, as long
as the terrier without knowing it car
ried the needle, could .nener satisfy
himself whether he had or had not met
the said king of Ireland.

The papers say a good deal about
President Arthur carrying out the
policy and plans of his predecessor,
and that therefore he will retain most
of the ,offceholders under the latter,
even members of the cabinet. The
wish is probably father to the thought.
As soon as the edge Of the nations grief
for President Garfeld's death begins
to wear of, the changing Of oficeholders
will begin. This will be aGrant- Conk-
ling administration. Blaine and Gar
field and their friends were the ex-
IRENE opponents Of Grant and Conk-
ling in the Republican party; they de-
feated Grant and tConkling in the last
presidential nominating convention, and
again defeated Conkling in the U. S.
Senate, which caused him to resign,
and still worse, defeated him again for
Ge-election to the Senate. MIR. Conk-
ling has never Shown any christian
disposition to forgive political injuries
or opposition; and now that he and
his friends have the game in their own
hands, it may be Eelied on that the
Blaine faction will have to suffer to the
extent of Mr.. ConEing's power The
present administrator will be run a"
politically for the beneftofhis sideof the
house, to make it victorious at the next
presidential nominating convention.
For policy's sake, some Of the appoin-
tees Of the late President, who dave
some influence and will give in their
adhesion to the Conkling faction. may
be retained but the chiefs Of the op-
posing faction, whose offenses are I'M
pardonable. or who continue to adhere
to the Blaine or anti Grant onkling
faction, will have to go. All this does
not much concern the people generally,
ii the gov eminent in other respects is
administered for their benefit; but there
is a deep opposition among the people
North as we'll as South, to the Grant
Conk ling faction, because Of the oppo-
sition to third presidential term for
Gen. Grant, which that faction favors
and works for; and notwithstanding
the assistance of the whole machinery
Of the general government, this faction
will probably fail in its own party, on

1t seems they are going to have a
great to-do about Guiteau's trial. 1t is
said that as his victim was shot in one
place District Of Columbia) and died in
another (New Jersey,) there is no law
to convict him of murder. This may be
technicality Of law that will shield
him, but there is 40 more reason or
sense in it than there would be in law
relieving murderer from the penalty
of his crime because his victim, shot or
stabbed in one State, Immediately in
side the boundary line, and fell dead
over the line into the adjoining State.
Guiteau acknowledged the crime, glor
led in it, and regretted that the Presi-
dent was not killed on the spot; but it
seems many people were present about
the place, and they are all to be cited
to prove what is not denied, and what
could be just as we'll and fully proven
by two witnesses. They will prove
also, we suppose, the preparations
Guiteau made for the muder; from
whom he bought the pistol and the
cartridges; what he said to different
people before the shooting, ETC., in
order to show his inte,t-as if all this
had not been swallowed up in the cul
mination, in the crime itself, which is
fact that needs nothing more than the
formal proof of two witnesses for the
purpose Of convicting the criminal.
Again it is said that it will be almost
impossible to get jury, as every body
have read the papers and are decided
as to the guilt of the prisoner. This is
a fact-Guiteau has long since been
convicted OF the crime of numbering the
President of the United States, by the
whole people thereof, by the testimony
published in the papers of the fact OF
the murder, and by the further testi-
mony of his own acknowledgment and
boasting of the crime. His legal con-
viction is therefore mere legal form
atty; and if by some legal technically
this conviction is prevented, the ends
of justice will be defeated, and the
people outraged. Whether he is con-
victed or not, his prosecution will be a
costly affair, as was the medical services
rendered the President. This pistol
shot of Guiteau, directly for expenses
of the Presidents illness and for his
own trial, will cost the country any
where between $5OO,O0O and $1,OOO,0O0.

BUSINESS CHANGE.

When the announcement was made
the first of the week, that Geo. D.
Hinckley had sold his seed business
to D. s. Wright & Sons, considerable
surprise was felt, as that was the first
intimation the public had that such q
transaction had been even thought Of
The inquisitive were of course anxious
to find out all about the terms of the
sale, but up to latest accounts "bill
ofparticulars" had not been furnished
and the curious are forced to content
themselves with the simple fact that
Mr.. Hinckley has sold out his seed
business, "bag and baggage" to the
Wrights. We append the following

The following from D. S. Wright,
will be read with interest:
Having been asked to state the facts in
regard to our buying G.. d. Hinekley's
garden seed business, would say that we
made square trade. He asked us $4,000,
ready money, but we paid something less,

fiattering compliment he pays us in his
card, i'll so highly recommending myself

We will endcavor TO please all who favor

will put our hands in our pockets and

TOM lWWiPPS' IRON GLAD.
Bom6arding Scene-Crqft, Greco and Coolie
Cargo Wrecked on Madagascar Coast.
Incessant war still blights thy vale,
Once blooming, verdant Meyersdale;
The knaves OF toll with demon hate
Are banded firm to subjugate
Thy sons of freedom.
That leading knave OF three-ton fame
Seems now beIeft of soul and shame;
His roguish deeds all indicate
His fitness for that birthstone state
Described by Milton.
His aims are got, no matter how;
Cheat lords OF knights and make them bow;
His right hand drone, called racer Jones,
Has got knack for picking bones
And putrid pig shanks.
Our nations laws don't seem to suit;
I hey are the cause of much dispute;
Those equal rights have singing tones
Don't suit those lazy knavish drones,
Thomas Wwapps and Jones.
They have been planning something NICE;
guess they've paid some Baer price
Who means to helm Toms iron-clad
Away southeast of Trinidad
For sable wares.
Maybe they'll round old Afric's cape,
And then reverse in naval shape,
Until they reach west longitude,
'Mong pig-tailed pagans wild and nude
There, Tom, fill your car.
Should Britts, or Yankees, interfere,
Put on more steam and loudly cheer
Hurrah for Wwapps' iron-clad
Both crew and cargo will be glad
Safe from pursuers.
Should you not reach Atlantic's coast,
Your efforts great will then be lost;
You'll get surrounded by the powers,
Who'll batter down your steel-capped
towers,
And sink your vessel.
Then Castleman will mourn thy loss,
And Rouman mines her cherished boss;
The lords of toll will sadly sigh,
Since Wwapps and crew IN brlny lie,
Stale food for sea-sharks
Alas, 10! Jones his racing's done;
His Shaving cruise was but begun;
He might have been pirate bold,
Had he not persisted in the hold
Of Wraps SLAYER.
So farewell, Baer attorney daft;
No more you'll helm Tom Wraps craft
No more you'll cruise the Indian coast,
Since craft and crew and pilots lost
With coole cargo.
The lords of toll, in mourning weeds,
Will then inscribe brave christian deeds
On marble slabs or smooth pine boards,
With other guiles their guild affords
In seeming sadness
Stern, bliny ocean, keep thy prize;
Pale Somerset for mercy cries;
Let cruel crew for ages sleep
Within thy bosom, mighty deep,
