correspond with the Sc. Louis Grain Association and

It's very independence of all cliques
and parties, its contemptuous repudia-
ton Of party approaches, its fearless
ness of speech, the very qualities that
made its value to the people, were
what excited against it the tricksters, the
charlatans, the moral humbugs. 1t was started
for an Independent career on capital of five
hundred dollars-was a paying concern from
its initiation-now well nigh monopolizes the
advertising patronage of this city, and two
thirds of the business of the metropolis and
vicinity is done through it's columns. Here is
evidence enough that the people fully appre-
ciated the spirit of the proprietor in fighting
his way. seeking favors from neither person
nor party.


How different is the spectacle now presented
by those who have ostentatiously set them
selves up as moral examples for the whole
human race, and who have never permitted to
die away the echo of the shout, 81 am holier
than thou" Here we see bribery running
riot and very pitiful bribery, too. Right and
left politicians are laid under contribution In
sums ranging from one thousand dollars up to
i've thousand, and we see at once how cheaply
the radical press holds the politicians and how
cheaply the politicians hold the radical press
1t is evident why some papers have tolcrable
immunity from the invective Of politicians. Who
that aspires to high Office and cares not how
he gets it will declaim against journals whose
praises he can purchase at five thousand dol
lars, and whose silence may be secured per-
haps, for five hundred? How scandalous and
disgraceful is the figure now presented of the
press by all the radical journals All the
proprietors are in a scramble for Office, each
jeslously watching the progress of the other,
each ready to take any advantage, all alike
giving themselves up to the degrading strug
gle, and abasing their journals to the bad
business of helping their hunt. In such
struggle their respective manners and morals
are inevitably laid before the public, and the
people are thus afforded an opportunity to
draw the contrast between the party press and
the Independent press.

I DO not wish tn write of the personal

The Siamese Twins are naturally tender
and aftectionste in disposition, and have
chung to each other with singular fidelity
throughout long and eventful lie. Even
as children they were inseparable COM
paniOns and it was noticed that they al
ways seemed to prefer each Others society
to that of any other persons. They nearly
always played together; and, so accus
toned was their mother to this peculiarity,
that, whenever both of them chanced to
be lost, she usually only hunted for one
of them-satisfied that when she found
that one she would find his brother some
where in the immediate neighborhOod
And yet these creatures were ignorant
and Observation-Disclosures themselves
and the off'pring of barbarians, who knew
not the light of philosophy and science.
What a withering rebuke is this to our
boasted civilization, with its quarrelings,
its wranglings, and its separations of
brothersl


AS men, the Twins have not always
lived in perfect accord but, still, there
has always been a bond between them
which made them unwilling TO go away
from each other and dwell apart. They
have even occupied the same house, as a
general thing, and 1t is believed, that they
have never failed to even sleep together
on any night since they were born.
How surely do the habits of a
lifetime become second nature TO US The
Twins always go to bed at the same time ;
but Chang usually gets up an hour before
his brother. BY an understanding be-
tween themselves, Chang does all the in

ONE great cause of the poverty of the
present day is the failure of our common
people to appreciate small things. They
feel that ii they can not save large sums
they will not save any thing. They do
not realize how daily addition, be it
ever So small, will soon make large pile.
If the young men and young women of
to-day will only begin, and begin now, to
save little from their earnings, and plant
it in the soil of some good savings bank
and weekly or monthly add their mite,
they will wear happy smile of com
petence and independence when they
reach middle life. Not only the pile will
itself increase, but tho desire and the abil-
ity to increase IL will also grow. Let clerk
and tradesman, laborer and artisan, make

their children To begin early to save. Be
gin at the tountain-head to control the
stream of eXtravaganCe, and the work
will be easy. To choose between spend
ing and saving is to choose between pow
erty and riches. Let our youth go ON in
habits of eXtravagance, for fifty years to
come, as they have for fifty years past, and
we shall be a nation of beggars with a
moneyed aristocracy. Let u generation of
