every respect, they were beiitting the man
and the city Of his birth. Long before the
hour for the starting Of the procession the
principal throughfdres were crowded with
citizens hurryipg towards Independence Hall,
for the purpose Of getting glimpse of the
coffin containing the distinguished remains,
nnd before ten o'clock the sidewalk in front
of the Hall was crowded with women and
men, and so clamorous did they become ior
edmittance that the doors had TO be closed,
and only few admitted at a time, VINO would
pass aronnd the room and out through the
Square.
The flags on the public buildings. printing
Offices hotels, Adams Express Office, aud
many private dwellings, were craped, and
displayed at half.mast. In fact, everything
indicated that the hearts Of the people had
been touched by the death Of one who, though
young, lad shed impersbable lustre and
honor upon his native city.
at III o'clock the officiating clergy, pail
bearers, comrades OF the deceased members

Kansas Matters

Hon. John F. Potter, member of Con-
gress from Wisconsin, has just returned
from Kansas, says the Milwaukee Sentinel
where he has been spending some time, in
order to learn from personal observation,
the workings Of the various political mat
tiers there. He returns thoroughly satisf-
ed that the course taken by the Free
State men in dlsregarding the late Bogus
election, was the only proper one for them
to pursue. From the best information be
was able to obtain, the Territory contains
a population of nearly, if not quite, 70,
1000, and as the proportion Of adult males
in such a territory is largely IN ex-
|cess, the ridiculou~ly small vote polled by
the Border Ruffian party and the "Wal-
ker Democrats" Some 1900 or 2,0O0,-
shows where the vote will be, when fair
vote can be held open to Free State men.
At Lawrence, no poll was held at all, the
bogus officer sent to conduct it, not be-
ing able to find place in which to hold
the polls, or man to vote. Gov. Wal
ker rolled up his eyes in sanity astonish-
melt at the slack of interest," as he ex
pressed it, shown by the Free State men
in the election. The Governor is trying
to play fast and loose between the two
parties, but he is pretty we'll understood
by both.

The Milwaukee and Mississippi
Railroad.

Our "Ploneer" Railr ad is now in ex-
cellent order throughout and doing fine
business. The travel and traffic over the
road are increasing rapidly and the rolling
stock of the company, large as it is, taxed
to the utmost to do the business offering
The receipts for the first sixteen working
days of June, were $66,2oO, and for the
month will not fall short of 100000
This will be an increase of nearly 80 pei
cent on the earnings for the corresponding
month last year. As this route to the
West and Northwest becomes better
known, it cannot fail to be more u nd more
appreciated and patronized.
A strong illustration of the confidence
felt at home in the management of this
road, and in the value of It's stock was fur
nishcd last week. When the news that
The Wall Street 'bears" had for specula-
tive purposes, sold the stock down to so
reached the city, orders for upwards oil
$4,000 worth of shares were promptly
forwarded by some of the most substantial
business men and capitalists Of Milwaukee
No one hereaboubts doubts that the stock
is good as an investment, or that the road
is honestly and efficiently managed and
will continue to earn and pay it's regular

RaiIroadins under Difficulties.

The Mineral Point Tribune gives his
tory Of the railroad just completed to that
city. The following are the leading
facts:
| Proposals were received from several
parties to take the contract, which was let
to Messrs. Cook & Chamberlain OH the
l4th day Of February, 1868, for the sum Of
$65o,ooo.
One provision of the contract placed ir
the hands of the contractors $3.50, 900 Of
Co lnty Bonds, conditioned upon vote OF
the people Of this county.
Within one week after the bonds were
voted Messrs. Cook d Chamberlain were
released from the performance Of their con
tract,and the company was again afoat on
sea of uncertainty. Thus ended contract
number one.
A second contract was at length made
with Messrs. Keep q Gates for the grad
ling, masonry and ties; the former having
the first sixteen sections Of the line. I'm
der this arrangement considerable progress
was made, and in October contract was
made with the Galena and Chicago and
the Illinois Central Rolroad Companies
by which they jointly guaranteed to the
Mineral Point Railroad Company an annu
al net income of $4,000.
| Contract number three was now made
and ratified on the 10th day of December
1853, with the celebrated firm of R. q G.
L. Schuyler,of N. Y providing for the en-
tire completion and equipment Of theRoad
by she first of December following, for the
sum of Sl,o00,O0O, in cash, stock and
bonds. The firm nearly completed the
grading, and had purchased iron sufficient
to lay the track. About the last Of June
the Schuylers failed.
Contract number four was made Aug.
nst, 1885, with Messrs. Keep, Fisher 4
Talcot, which was subsequently, transferred
to. A. Wilkins, of Detroit, Contract number
Jt0e) and finally passed into the hands OF
the present contractor, Mr.. LutherBeecher,
Contract number sir,) who has completed
the work at last.

LIBERALITY OF PHYsICIANs.-lt has al
ways been said that physicians would dis
parage any remedy, however valuable
which they did not originate themselves
This has been disproven by their liberia
course towards DR.. J. c. Ayre's prepare
tions. They have adopted them into gen
eral use in their pactice, which shows q
willingness to countenance articles that
have intrinsic merits which deserve theiI
attention. This does the learned profes-
sion great credit, and effectualIy contra
diets the prevalent erroneous notion that
their opposition to proprietary remedies Is
based in their interest to discharge them
We have always had confidence in thu
honorable motives of our medical men
and we are glad to find it sustained by the
liberal welcome they accord to such RENE
dies as 4Ayre's Cherry PeetoraL and Ca
tAartic Pills, even though they are not or
dered in the books, but are made known tC

DEATH OF JERRoLD, THE GREAT PUNcn
WRIrER.-The great Punch writer, and
editor of Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper, died
in London last month. His writings have
been read wherever the English language
is spoken. His peculiar vein was satire
and dramatic delineations. He was the
author Of the famous ''Caudle Lectures
which first appeared in Punch, and which
afforded SO much amusement at the time
Of their appearance. He has also written
several plays, some of which are highly
popular, particularly the ''Rent Day." AS
a wit he was unequalled, and was always
found on the side of truth and humanity
His son Blanchard Jerrold, succeeds hin
as editor Of Lloyd's Weekly.

The weather and CFops-PTices-
How to Improve.

The month of June brought crops along
well. The alternating weather, between
warm and cool, wet and dry, just served
for wheat and corn-indeed everything OF
the grain and vegetable kind has been do
ing so well that nobody can complain; the
professional grumblers have suspended all
intercourse with their neighbors because
they have no fault to find.
Prices of grain, provisions and labor are
at high figures. Indeed, every week
brings rise upon something, and we sell
dom hear of fall in the plice of any ar
ticIe. We thought land would take
sudden fall this summer, but our thoughts
turn out not well founded. We notice
farms selling every week at rates of last
year. We now think the anticipated fall
will be on unimproved lands. Should We
be right in this, the profits will be for those
who 90 to work at improving small farms
to supply the demand for such. Small
but comfortable buildings and small i'm
provements on choice locations, and upon
small farms, say of 40 to so acres, will
pay largely. Persons coming west to set
tie have particular tastes for neat, small
improved farms, with water and timber;
their choice in this matter is worth the
study of those who improve land for sale.
A fine harvest of profits, prices and
properties is pictured upon the future
programme; men engaged in the indus
trial branches, by using economy and man
agement, can reap the stupendous har-
vest. Land speculations and business
transactions will surely fail to pay expen-
ses Those who keep clear of debt and
work we'll may expect to grow rich IN "A
few months; those who borrow money at
% per cent. and live idly may expect to
reap not the harvest.

The Boston Pilot, a Roman Cath
Ollie paper, expresses doubts about e real
| ity of the conversion of Mr.. T. L. Nichols
and Mrs. Mary Cove Nichols, to the Ro-
man Catholic faith. 1t says:
"Thev may labor under delusion as te
their conversion. This is the charitable view
to be taken of their condit on. But such
is the depravity of unconvered man, it is
possible that they have resorted to the pre-
tence of conversion with an invention OF
the circumstances given, for the purpose
of recommending their abominable ideas
Of spiritualism to the Catholic body. The
suggestion that this may be their object,
will be sufficient to defeat it, without any
resort to argument"

New NAMEs.-There is terrible di
vision among the Democrats Of Alabama
one division favoring the building Of rail
roads, the other opposing railroads as anti
democratic and only excelled in enormity
by free schools, free labor and free ni@-
gers. The doctrine of the anti-railroad
men is, that railroads level down labor
grain, horses and land 10 low rates-that
horses will be of no use after railroads are
made, and that all the grain raised in Ala
bama will be taken off to feed New York
Philadelphia, Boston and other places out
of the United States; also, that the rail
roads will bring into Alabama the Yam
KEGS and Irish and Dutch who are ali abo
litionists and who will build underground
railroads as well as oyerground railroads.
The party againt railroads are called DIRT
road democrats, the Others are called
damned Yankee rai1-riders!
