But; wjioevcr lie was, his name ought to be emblazoned in letters of light in every nursery-room in this fair land of ours, for he was a wise man, as well as a truthful and good one. There is no more interesting a sight on this green earth than an old bnchelor on a bottomless cane chair sewing a suspender but-tou on his unmentionables. If the needle goes into his finger ottener than it does into the buttonhole, whose concern is it? That's his privilege, its his own finger, and he has a right to make it holey if he wants to.

Who so free and independent as the single man? lie can go and see a new girl every night in the week, whereas the poor benedict must stick to his "one little ewe lamb" week in and week out for the-term of his natural life. Then who htfssoiittle care as the bachelor? He goes to his boardiug house or hotel, gulps down his food and never pays a thought to his next meal till he comes to the table again, when it is all ready for him. Not so with the married man. He has go to the butcher's and the grocer's and the baker's and a dozen other places before he can "get his W.

An opportunity will here be afforded for hearing this remarkable man and listening to his own version of the exciting events which followed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. We hear of a mean and distardly outrage committed by someone at the Catholic Cemetery. Several of the tombstones have beeu smeared over with axle grease, and otherwise defaced. No words are strong enough to utter the condemnation of. the miscreant who committed such an act, for if there is any place where, petty spile and wantonness should not show itself, that place is the quiet resting place of the dead.

Whatever wc may do or say to the living, common decency, if nothing else," ought to prevent us from insulting the sacred dead. The announcement of Mr. A. W. Bickford as a candidate for the office of Register of Deeds may be seen in another column.
