Action! Action!

It is time for action! We can never be sue
cessful in the Republican movement unless great
er exertion is put forth. While our friends in
this city doing nothing, our enemies are laying
their plans with full belief of triumphing.
Shall they do it? We can carry at least two
Representatives in this city, if proper exertion is
made, but if each one leaves it for the other to
do and they do nothing, We shall be most
beautifully beaten. There is no enthusiasm
among us, and no effort is made to arouse it. II

Mayor Wood Rc-Nominated.

A Correspondence appears in the N. Y. Herald
of Sept. Sd, in which Mayor Woods highly COM
plimented for his endeavors to preserve law and
order in that corrupt city. approving the various
reforms he attempted, though rendered practical
ly imperative by the refusal of the Legislature
to pass law granting him full powers to carry
them out, and inviting him to become candi-
date for reelection. This letter is signed by one
hundred of the principal business men of New
York, irrespective of party, among which are
VIM. B. Astor, Moses Taylor, Fletcher Harper,
and men of like character.
Mayor Wood replies somewhat ut length, thank
ing them for their expression of confidence and
approval, recapitulating the great difficulties he
has had to contend with for the want of sufficient
legal authority in his Office as Mayor, and con-
cludes by accepting the nomination again, hoping
the Legislature will at the next session amend
the Charter of the city as proposed last year.

LOCUST TREES ON Rail- RoADs.-The Illinois
central Rail Road Company have contracted for
the planting of Locust Trees on each side of their
road, for the distance of one hundred and twenty
miles.
After the trees are once set, with little care
in keeping the weeds down and the earth mellow
around the roots for two or three years, they will
require no more labor, and they will then afford
shade along the road and will have tendency to
cause the grass to grow, which will in great
degree prevent much of the annoyance from dust,
afford timber large enough for ties for tho use of
the road.
This is most excellent plan, and should be
adopted on every road that runs through land
that will grow the locust. AT0xa EgD

There was q man who, when the stars

were compIaisant below, used to rig up q
telescope, wherewith to study astronomy at

One night, as he was getting under way,
we saw two Irish gintlemen" taking an
observation OF his movements. Both were

"Hadn't we better be getting out iv the

BY this time, the telescope man had or
ranged his instrument and looked through it
up at the stars. The policemen gazed up
likewise, in wonder. Just then, by some
odd chance, large meteor shot down the
sky.
"Bedad, he hit it! He fetched it down."
they both cried in one breath. "Sure and
that's the greatest shootin' iver saw in my
life."
