/ TO many the career Of this man
appears remarkable, and his unin-
terrupted success has led to the be.
lief that he is man of remarkable
parts. There never was a greater
mistake. Every position he has at
tanned, he has obtained through arts
of the meanest character; falsehood,
which honest men abhor as the
meanest Of all vices, has been his
favorite resource; when necessary to
attain his ends, he has never hest
tated to break his pledged faith, he
has never recognized that lowest Of
all obligations, "there is honesty
among thieves" to wipeaout forev-
or the records of his misdeeds and
those or his allies, committed while
he usurped the office Of Governor,
he had the books and papers Of the
Auditors office destroyed, and it is
chiefly because Of that crime that
so many hundreds Of our people
have been compelled a second time
to pay taxes on their property /; in
other words, widows and orphans,
here and throughout the State, have
had to pay out of their little prop
critics, the cost Of wiping out the
crimes of this man. His career has
not been remarkable. Kellogg at
tanned his eminence as the serpent
winds its sinuous path to the sum
NIT, 5wherefrom the eagle, with un-
dazzled eye, gazes upon the mid
day sun, he to poise his, mighty
wings for loftier flights, the reptile
to writhe and squirm in its slime.
The secret Of this mans success
is graphically revealed in these
brief but blasting words of one who
understood his breed of creatures !:
II never knew a man fail, who
brought to market prostitutions of
mind enough to make him a tool !;
vice enough to despise everything
but gain, and cunning enough to
keep himself out of the hands of the
magistrate, till opulence enables
him to corrupt the law, or authority
to defy it."

EXCHANGE HOTEL,

April %Su, 1cc4.
MY DEAR MoTHER-Gracious me =
Pardon me for disobeying all rules Of
rhetoric in beginning this letter with
an exclamation, but have seen some
thing this week that has actually made
me start. Of course, you know, that
/ came here to see the Firemen turn
out, and was much perplexed and put
out when ] learned that the parade had
been postponed. To tell you the truth,
I didn't like it one bit. After visiting
the various places of interest in this
lovely little city, / began to saunter
into the different stores about town.
Taking the pretty omnibus Of Messrs.
NcGinnis T. Armstrong, l requested
the driver to put me out at BIC HEY
MANS, on Front Street, under the Ex-
change Hotel. Entering that perfect
bijou of Dry Goods Emporiums, ] re-
quested one of the gentlemanly clerks
to show me through the stock. With
an agreeableness worthy Of q Chester
field, the young man pulled down stack
upon stack of the very finest and lat
est assortments of Dress Goods, inciu-
ding beautiful Lawns at from seven to
ten cents per yard. Oh, Mother, could
you have seen those designs-and then,
the quality! Such Gloves" Of Lawns,
dot and striped Swisses; such elegant
black goods; such an enormous array
of Bed Spreads, Bobbinet and Muslin
Bars, Damatks, Towels, Napkins, Ia
BILE Covers; such beauties Of Fans,
Parasols, Hosiery, Neckwear, Fancy
Baskets, etc., such line of Ladies'
Underwear, Corsets, Gloves and Chill
dren's Dresses. Well, of all the pleas
ant days, this was surely an Interest,"
I ing one for me. When you see the Sc
Elections / have made, and have COM
pared prices with other houses, you
will surely send all your orders to BIG
HEYMAN.
Do you recollect the last shirts you
had made for Brother John at $40 per
tlozenf You certainly must. Well, the
young man at HEYNAN's showed Inc
the celebrated Vindicator shirt, and
after he had explained its construction,
ETC., I was stunned when he said, "We
sell them from SO to $ls per dozen. y
| ! did not know that John needed shirts
but'I bought one dozen for him, and !
know you will approve my action when
YOU seem them. They are superior to
those for which you paid $50. This is
the 'tsomething" that made me start,
and begin this letter with "Gracious
me p 5i,,@
Be sure to tell all our friends to or
der their goods from BIG HEYlMdAlN,
and they will be sure to receive proper
treatment, Goodbye. =
