The following is from the Fredonia (N. J.) Democrat, and we would be glad if a certain person, when he reads it, should take the hint. as we have him in mind when we copy it: "If Diogenes had been in the Democrat cffice last Monday morning he would have found an honest man without having occasion to use his lantern. A gentleman came in and paid bill for two-and-a-half years subscription, which he has owed since the first year of the war, 1861, when his paper was discon- tinued. That the account was outlawed many years ago made no difference to him he owed the bill and wanted to pay it. It took some time to hunt up the old ac- count book, but he had come on purpose to settle, and take receipt in rull. After he had pocketed his receipt he paid a years subscription in advance. We would like to publish his name, but he is as mod est as he is honest, and we withhold it. He says he would have paid the old bill long ago, but he could not corner the money"

 Springfield Republican One of the western newspapers which has been an es- pecial advocate of the Oklahoma raid now serves notice that the boomers and camp followers who have settled upon the land in such numbers cannot possibly subsist on their own resources from the begin ming, and that charitable relief must be extended to them. In that case the news papers and politicians that have egged on the movement should prove their devotion to the cause of poaching upon Indian reser. vations by contining appeals to their own pockets.

 EFFECTIVE PREACHING. - Yankee SCI captains are accustomed to have mint
