In that article he says that 31 r. Wimmer could and would have told them that the money was in his hands and that as soon as the entertainments were over, and at the same time he Local Pick-ups. Wm.

Eeply. Mr. Editor: I notice in the Vivifier of last week, an article that reads "Better dwell alone in peace in a garj ret than in a palace and in plenty with a contagious woman" and then had my name signed to it, without my consent. It seems as though some one wanted to intimate that I was burlesquing the women, and moreover that I did not know the difference be tween a woman that had become disa greeable by letting ner temper get a-way with her, and one that is providentially afflicted with the small pox. It seems that my bachelor fnend has forgotten howl interceded for him last winter when he went slcighriding and got lost and run agin a haystack- But 1 forgive him and I guess his girl has.

I think it is better to love a conta gious woman than to live a bachelor. Joiix U. White. ST0RH. A telegram received by C.

Down the river, now slowly and cautiously scraping over the widu sandbars, now swiftly gliding along, aided by the rapid-llowing current; down the river through the Country of Hell, with its broad desert plains and barren brown hills, inky black where the moving clouds cast their shadows; down the river past old abandoned Indian trading posts fast crumbling into ruins, past the lonely military telegraph station, where we learn of the passage of a with its crew of fugitive desperadoes flying from the wrath of the cowboys; down the river between perpendicular sand-banks, crumbling away at the touch of the "rollers'" caused by the passage of our boat, scaring up flocks of wild-geese and swift-Hying, blue-winged heron; down the river through lovely prairies covered with waving grasses and gayly-colored wild flowers, into the Indian country, until, looking across one of the long, flat, outrunning points of land that mark the constantly-recur ring curves of the river, there, shining in the morning sun, the distant buildings of the military post, our destination, gleam bright under the bbie, white and scarlet folds of the national standard floating grace fully out from the tall pole against the deep warm purple of the sky beyond. Hundreds of Indian tepees are scattered over the wide plain, and at our approach we can sec the in mates hurrying to the banks to watch the arrival of the great steamer.

Wild-looking savages, their faces smeared with streaks of bright vermilion or orange, are watering their horses, their gaudily-clothed forms reflecting straight dowu in the mirror-like surface of the water; some half-clad lads, who, lying prone upon their bellies, and leaning far over the high banks, have been fishing in the stream, pull in their lines and race along the shore, their coarse black hair floating out behind, and their bronze-colored naked limbs moving with untrammeled ease, as they easily keep pace with the boat; young bucks mounted on half-tamed ponies gallop along and mingle with the throng; the white sombreros and light blue uniforms of the Indian police contrast strangely with the party-colored rags of their fellow-savages. As we slowly paddle up to the lauding we make our preparations to land; recognizing our acquaintances In the little group of shoulder-strapped blue-coats near the ambulance, which has just been drawn up to the bank by its team of four strong mules, and are soon exchanging greetings with our friends, who receive us with the frank, kindly, ready hospitality of the meri-can soldier.

Page, don't you know that you Hid when you said that? as Mr. Wimmer told me that the only item ized account that you left him was one you made out after my article appeared in the Vivifier, and for the benefit of the public, and to show up 3Ir.

Pace. Now Mr. Page it appears from the above itemized account, there is $8.40 in Wimmer's hands or at least you say so, and you are certainly the only man that can get head or tail out of such statement, and I would suggest to you the idea of going to school a little while so that you might learn to make out a bill without shoving your ignorance. And he says he was hurt to think that I should ask him publish a statement of his stewardship all thieves and evil doers feel hurt when they are caught in their evil acts. Now Mr.

Page, I will ask you a few questions, and for the benefit of the public, I hope j'ou will answer them as honestly as I have asked them: 1. Don't you know that the receipts of the three entertainments amounted to more than $G0? 2. Don't you know that you stole over $25.00 of the money that should have been applied to the children's library fund? 3. Don't you know that you lied when you said that you gave Mr. Wimmer an itemized account of the receipts and expenditures when you deposited the money with him? 4.

Dont you know that you have had more money than you have earned from this school district, to say nothing of the shortage of the childreiia" library fund? 5. Dont you know that every one knows the net proceeds of the three entertainments amounted to more than $8.40 which is the amount you have accounted for in the above items? 6. Dont you know that when counting the concert receipts you was looking through those false eyes that is in the above bill? And I will say that I hope you will destroy them before you get up another concert as if you dont there might not be $8.40 left. And I will say for Mr. Page's benefit that billingsgate may be creditable to a New York street Arab, but it never covers up fraud or rascality.
