some idea of the immensity of this
territory let the reader remember
that the State of Maryland, for in
stance, would go into the 1SO0OO,OOO
acres seventeen times, with 100000
acres to spare, tract equal to six
Rhode Islands or four Delawares.
The 13S,0O0000 acres would make
four states as large as New York,
with enough besides to duplicate
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and
New Jersey. You could set Penn
sylvania with her 2S,OOO,OOO
acres, down in one corner of this
enormous territory, Fand have land
enough left to cut up into states the
size of Ohio, Illinois, Indiana and
Maine. This unearned land is three
and half times greater in. area than
the six New England states. 1t EN-
braces four times as many acres as
Iowa contains, considerably more
than four times as many as Ohio, and
it is only little less in extent than
the whole of Texas. Is it any won-
der, then, that the railroads object to
letting 60 property so extensive az
that. PHoNo.

One day the editor was visited by q

One day the editor was visited bya
committee of villagers to urge upon
him some arguments in favor of a
new town pump. Being an amiable
man, although it was just his busiest
hour, he asked them to be seated un-
til he had finished an article he was
writing on an application of the
principle of ensilage to green picket
fences. While waiting they all be-
gan to talk to each other at the very
pitch of their voices, until the dis
tracted man could stand it no longer,
when, wheeling round in his chair,hc
remarked, with an expression sweetly
utter: You'd oblige me, gentlemen,
by conducting your conversation in a
lower tone. There's a sick man with
the smallpox in the next room, and
you might disturb him. As he gath
cred up the hats, canes and umbrellas
that were left by the committee in
their eager bolt for the fresh air, he
said to himself, quietly: / reckon

"Early Bird" Marshall, Ill.
No Sirl We are young, but no suck
ers. This periodical is not publ shed
to while away an idle hour; its con-
tents are not dashed off to beguile the
ennui of the editors; it is not printed
for the benefit of widow with nine
teen fatherless children, nor for an
uncle blown up in mine. But 1t is
expressly for the use and behoof of
the U. S.-the undersigned, and is
published for money, for dust for
stuff; for that which enables bloated
country editors all over this broad
land to feast on white beans and wear
robes of fine linen in the winter.
Our paper will be weekly and terri
fic, and will smell Of sulphur and
other perfumery. The reader, after
perusing a copy, win not wear a sad
hungry reading Ed Bededict's
journal look, but will be mad enough
to drown himself. Our terms are
sixty cents per annum in advance,
which means payable in due course
of administration on subscribers es-
tates. Country produce taken on sub
scriptions, such as cows, saw-logs,
scalps, thunder, and other things a
farmer generally raises when taken
in by clothe-line pedlar. Our motto
is the advice Of Roxanna 10 Alexan-
der the Great "If you are smart
alex, you will kick for pass on the
Vandalia." The prior sailing name
of this sheet was "The Truth" and
the truth is we had to get new han
die, as no issue ever contained much
of its. name. We expect to treat all
subjects--not much M. A., we don't
treat, but we intended to say that the
range of literature in this publication
will be broad and roomy, and en-

LETTER FROM COL. JOHNSON.
Mr.. CHAs. M. MEAcHAM:
Dear Sir.

Dear Sir;
Yours of the 18th inst, in which
you state that il is rumored in Chris
tian county that l have withdrawn
from the contest for the nomination
as Lieutenant Governor ON the DEM
ocratic ticket, has been received.
In response, let me say as positive
ly as words can do, that the rumor is
incorrect, 1t grows from the efforts
of certain persons to injure me, that
the interests of others may be ad-
vancek.
Should conclude to, withdraw
from candidacy which has been
made as modestly as possible, be assur
ed that the fact will be made public
without delay. / have not made, nor
do l intend to make, a canvass ofper-
sOnal solicitation Of voters from one
end of the State to the other which
fact was publicly announced many
months ago.
Perhaps / violate one of the un-
written statutes of political law by
venturing to be a candidate for Office
and poor man at one and the same
time. If this be true, the great Dem
ocratic jury which assemblies in this
city May 10th can try me for my of.
fense and by its verdict 1 shall abide,
/. Until that verdict is made, it will
be both my pleasure and my duty,
appreciating to the fullest extent the
Importance Of the position l seek, to
as quietly as may be, let the good
people of Kentucky know that l dc
seek it and would appreciate beyond
measure, its bestowal upon me. But

Thanking you for the long and con.
slant friendship which prompted you
to write.

"Tehas! Tehasl"

A writer in Philadelphia paper
relates the legend Of the origin of the
name Texas,' as told to her by Cen
eral Sam Houston when she was
little girl. General Houston had it
from an Indian Chief, as follows: "a
long time ago, when the Spaniards
overrun and plundercd Mexico, some
of the red men left them and came
towards the rising sun. They
crossed the Rio Grande, and not
knowing what lay before them, en-
tered upon the great salt marshes.
They travelled many days and found
but little sweet water or game. The
weather grew hot and the little
stream dried up and many old men
and women and children died of
thirst. One day, after many weeks
of weary walking, party of young
braves who had been sent ahead 10
reconnoiter, came running back and
said: eve have found water; come
on" This good news put new life in
to their veins, and although nothing
could be seen but dry, fiat, bald
prairie, the scouts were standing still.

pointing towards something appar.

reached the spot where the braves
were standing. Fifty feet below
them the limpid waters of the Colo

could reach, stretched green ex

yielding to the breath of the gentle
south wind, rolled in vast pillows o

trees dotted this grassy sea, and herd
of buffalo and deer gazed in peaceful
ignorance of an enemy's approach
Forgetting hunger fatigue and eyel

fell upon their knee and cried out

The Wrong Bounce.


Suppose, began little red-headed
man with a wild look in his eyes as
he halted a policeman on Porter
street the other day-"suppose my
mother-in-law drops down upon me
in October and remains right along
until now, occupying the best room,
fretting at the children, putting my
wife up to be cranky, and greeting
me daily with such epithets as brute
hyena and miser?
Yes, suppose she does?
Suppose that finally cease to en-
dure and bounce her out. Can she
have me arrested?
If you assault her she can.
Would 1 be fined over $l0?
l think not-not for carrying her
out doors in your arms.
Thanks. Between this and A
o'clock some one will get bounced.
In other words, shall pass the Rub
icon.
At 10 o'clock that night the same
officer found the man in drunken
sleep in a lumber yard four blocks
from his house. AS he hauled him
out into the light he found one eye
closed, his face scratched, his collar
torn off and his vest SO split up the
back that it would button twice
around him.
"Here-wake up-wake up! You
are drunkp shouted the officer.
"Yesh, shome drunk" was the
thick reply.
"You are the man who was going
to bounce his mother-in-law.
"Yesh, shame man-shame man..
"Well, where did she go?"
"Where'd she go? Oh, yes, I mem
ber now. Shay3".
"Yes."
'"When FER man bounces his mother
-in-law which ef'em goes?"
"She does. of course"
"Then (hic) then it sheems thai

May I Kiss That Baby"

To soldier, far away from home
there is no more touching sight than
that of a baby in its mothers arms.
While on their way to Gettysburg,
our troops were marching by night
through village, over whose gate
way hung lighted lanterns, while
young girls shed tears, as they watch
ed the brothers of other women
march on to possible death. A scene
of the march is thus described by the
author of "Bullet and She'll"
Stopping for moment at the gate
Of a dwelling, I noticed a yonng
mother leaning over it with chubby
child in her arms, Above the woman's
head swung a couple of stable-lan-
terms, their light falling upon her
face. The child was Growing with
delight at the strange pageant as it
watched the armed host pass on.
~ beg your pardon, man," said
Jim Manners, one Of my men, as he
dropped the butt of his musket on the
ground, and peered wistfully into the
faces of the mother and her child.
II beg pardon, but may kiss that
baby of yours? I've got one just like
him at home, at least he was when ]
last saw him, two years ago."
The mother, sympathetic tear roll
ling down her blooming cheek, silent-
ly held out the child. Jim pressed
his unshaven face to its innocent smil'
ing lips for moment, and then
walked on, saying:
| "God bless you, ma'am for that!"
| Poor Jim Manners He never saw
his boy again in life. A bullet lait
him low the next day, as we mad,
