THE SAME OLD STORY.
From the Quincy Freeman


He drove on until he reached the Mar
rows when he met team of grays attach
ed to buggy in which were seated two
men. They stopped and accosted Henry
in very gentlemanly manner, and told him
sort of coLfidentially, that they were trav-
cling through the country selling very
saleable article-a tooth powder. This
tooth powder would work wonders. Then,
as if by chance, they exhibited three HARM
less looking boxes, into one of which they
placed a $50 bill, and moved the boxes
around, and carelessly asked Henry if he
could tell which box the money was in.
OF course he could. One of the men told
him he could have the choice of the boxes
for $40. Henry counted out the money,
and picked out the box which but few
minutes before he had seen the corner of
the fifty sticking out. He took the box and
opened it, when lol and behold, it was
empty. He jumped out and started to-
ward the men. picking up the farmers
weapon, rock, and demanded that his
money be returned He did not relish the
idea of being beat SO. If he had only got
the box that contained the fifty, all would
have been different, but he didn't, and
that was what burt so bad. He expostu-

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, looking over the still
smoking field where congress has been
camping, says: ''It is fashion to sneer at
the democrats. and no doubt they were of
ten clumsy and without tact when they
controlled the house and managed to get
themselves into hot water with the country
on trivial matters, but from the time they
took command in the house until they lost
it again, there was no lobby here, and they
were as careful of the peoples money as
though it had been their own. They cut
too close sometimes, as was not unnatural,
for they succeeded a republican house
which had been openly and shamefully
extravagant, as this one has also been, but
they performed the disagreeable task of
economizing with the most honorable
fidelity to the people, whose money con-
gress spends"

The Cleveland Leader is panied to learn
that the Democratic party of Ohio has been
sold to the brewers for the paltry sum of
$50, 900. This is the amount of money which
is alleged to have been contributed by the
brewers of that state to the Democratic
campaign fund, and the Leader thinks that
the price is dog cheap. In 1880 the Dem
ocrats of Ohio cast $40, $40 votes for Gen
eral Hancock, and by dividing the cost by
the quantity, the Leader gets at the price
of one Democrat, which is eight and one
eighth cents a head. Pushing the calcu-
lation still further, it is found that these
$40, $50 Democrats have been turned over
to the brewers for the cost of 10000
glasses of beer. The crockodile tears of the
Leader are entirely superfiuous. The
Democrats of Ohio will render an account
of themselves this fall

The new currency to be issued by the
national banks under the recent act OF
Congress extending their charters, is now
being printed. The backs of the notes
will be brown, instead of green and black,
and they win be known as the brown
backs" This is another radical trick to
kill the greenbackers. OF course it now
follows that we shall have a brownback
party as we'll as a greenback
