A printer sat in his Office chair; his
boots were patched and his coat
threadbsre, and his face looked weary
and worn with care. Whilo sadly
thinking of BUSH esq debt, old Nor
pheous slowly around him crept;
and, sleeping, he dreamed that he was

had fl I'd, aud that not even COW
bell tolled tor the peace of his COW
hide soul. AS be wandered about
among the shades that smoke and
scorch in the lower hades, lie sudden
ly observed an iron door, that creak-
ing hung on hinges ajar; but the
entrance was closed with an iron bar,
and Satan himself stood peeping out;
aud watching for travellers there.

er spoke: "Come in, my dear, it
will cost you nothing, and never fear,
this is the place where l cook the
oues whe never pay their subscription
sums; for, though in life they may
escape, they'll find when there dead
1t IS too late. l will show you the

Andrew Jackson's birthplace.

Parton. in his life of jackson, af.
ter investigating the matter very
carefully. says that jackson was born
in Union County, N. G. Amos Ken
dali, Jackson's great friend, in his
life of "Old Hickory" says he WAS
born in South Carolina. Jackson
lived. and, we suppose, died in the
belief that his nativity was in South
Carolina. In another letter, written
December "a, 1880, he said, as in
1857, that he Was born in that State.
In his will he says he was born in
South Carolina, and IN his famous
proclamation against South Carolina
notification he said the same thing.
1t is possible that Jackson was in
error. The alleged birthplace in
Union County is close t. the South
Carolina line. Parton is the main
authority for the superstition that he
was a native of this State, and he ex
amined the matter closely, and Wis
tied, we think, both Union County
and Waxhaw Settlement. We shall
be glad to see clear proof that he was
born in Union. The matter is of in.

The Conductors story.

1t was a cold rainy night in the
latter part of November, 'S3, that
the rays OF my lamp fell on csdav
erous hued countenance, wearing a
look OF the deepest detection. He
was standing on the platform of one
of the emigrant coaches, on No 5
train, about 5, p. M, as l was going
through canceIing tickets. He had
none; but in tremulous, fearful. tones,
commenced to unfold to me IA tale OF
woe calculated to excite the sympa
thy of Satan himself, whose emissary
this wrech proved to be. He said
he WAS cigar makur, had left hi
family 10 New York some months
ago in search OF employment, HAD
worked in California, where Chinese
cheap labor had driven him out, and
he was now sick and out OF work.
He showed me a tear stained letter
from his little girl, urging his i'm
mediate return, or death by starva.
ton awaited the family. 1t is useless
to add that he wasn't put off on the
dark rainy desert, and he rode to the
end of my division, and at the same
time be had my name, number of
caboose, and cars in train, and had
spoken his little piece, and made
like notes of several others OF the
noblest-hearted men on the road (all
of whom have been discharged) some
of them, like myself, having worked
for years for the company and who
by slow and arduous degrees, anu un-
interrupted good conduct, and at:en-
ton to business, attained the position
and it is not an enviable oBe-oi
conductor, only to be discharged at
moments notice, ana without a
chance to defend yourself, on the
word of a reptile like this--a sPoTTER.

A Coming Era of Reform.

Aberdeen Republican: From the tone
OF many of the leading papers through
out the territory and the interest that
the people are taking in political affairs,
there are indications that new era in
territorial politics is about to open. In
almost every caucus, convention or
political gathering that has been held in
the territory for the last two years, the
people have been called up to endorse or
condemn one or the other of the dlstast.
full factions which have assumed to con-
troll the affairs of the territory. Some.
times it has been the Ordway fight. At
others. the Yankton ring, or the Bis
marck dictators. The people have been
called upon to throw up their hats and
shout themselves hoarse, for what? ?
OstensibIy for the purpose that some
political manipulation may advance bis
selfish desire for greed and notoriety. or
that be may, by pointing the finger of
seorn, or raising deafening shout
against some political opponent, throw
q mantle. over his own political infamy.
If any more of these fellows have any
more such fights on hand. let them fight
it ont themselves. They have used the
