Just after full moon. no better time could
be selected by the ladies for most charming
ride than that upon which they have fixed.
The scenery between this city and Muscatlne
is beautiful even in the full light OF day but
at this season, in midsummer, IN the still
ness of night, by the gentle light OF full
moon. the placid water rejecting the brililan-
CIV of a thousand sparkling diamonds the
scenery is thrilling, sublime, awtuily grand.
Add 10 this. the stirring notes of melody from
the hand which is to be on board, and to him
who has music in his soul the elyslan Will

| Posr OrrIcE CLos1NG.-Complaints arr
made that tho post Office clerks close the of
fee evenings from 70 Is minutes before
the hour advsrtissd and that great many
people are thus put to unnecessary incon-
vsnisnce. Last evening the othos was closed
fully 10 minutes before 8, By the fastest rail
road time, md : large number Of men and
women wers disappointed in not being able
to get into the office. The office should never
be- closed q minute before che advertised
time, and when there is press of people q
disposition to accommodates them should be
shown by keeping open few minutes be-
yond the advertised time. Post Offices are es-
tablishsd tor the accommodation of the people,
not for those who have ohargelof them.
We persume that Mr.. Hawley is not aware
of this variation from the advertised time,
and that he will correct it Immediately.
A LYING SHYsTER.-Last evening there APP
peared q Communication in the negro organ,
written by aa''shyster" not q thousand miles
from Market Square, and signed '.An Ad-
mirsr,n which, for out-and-out lying is rare
" .equaled. The burden of it is that Fu-
gates negro wench has been arrested again
and we didn't notice it. 'sv So. 9s'5 '57.sas
IN Since the article appeared we have made
inquiry and learn that, some days ago, three
Germans and the Fugate negro wench we're
brought before Esq. Sweeney and fined. We
do not know the names of the men, nor their
politics, NOR do we care. They are obscure
men, and pretend to no leadership in relig-
ion or politics. Not SO with Fugate. He as
pires to be a leader in both and as such he
should be exposed. m3sb aus
; The shyster lies in several particulars, one
very important one being that the officers
who arrested the three men and the Fugate
niger were the same who arrested FHgate
and the Niger. This is not true. Nor did
they report the parties to us at all. IAN
Admirsr, Though pretending to much morals,
temperance and religion is too cowardly to
his name to sign his "peice," not daring to
face the lies he writes. s = tj
