D uring our absence at Ellens­
burg, the Ju n io r of this paper
took advantage of the situ­
ation to regale readers with just
a little Democracy, by inserting a
pretty elaborate extract from the
the fulmination of a Bohemian at
W ashington City who sends out
“ correspondence.” This “ corres­
pondence” contained some fulsome
allusions to Ben Hill, whom we
had denounced as a “ popinjay”
the week previous. He says he is
even with us now for deserting
our post. It may all be fair—in
his view. We m ust stand it.

D uring the absence of Sheriff
G auntlett below, and as a fitting
rebuke for his seeming tardiness
in rejoining his wife here, that
lady concluded to divide prerog­
atives with her absent lord, and at
the risk of becoming amenable for
usurpation of authority, proceed­
ed to appoint a new deputy. The
Sheriff may deein this stri ke of
feminine strategy as an unwar­
ranted interference with things all
his own, yet under the law, almost
any act is excusable
