RELIEF FOR SOLDIERS FAMrLIEs.-The
County Commissioners were in session
on Wednesday and made an appropria-
ton for the relief of the families of the
soldiers, extending back to- March last,
and with wisdom hardly to be expect
ed of them, appointed Col Biach as the
disbursing agent Of the fund.
The frank and genial manner in
which he will -dis6arse the fund will
greatly enhance the favor shown to the
wives and orphans of our brave soldiers.
The sums appropriated were So per
month to the mother or widow; So Der
month to the orphan; and 81 so Der
month to each child under twelve ysars
whose mother is living.
The number Of. benehcients is ,some-
thing over 800, but this humber win be
greatly reduced BY the return Of hus-
bands and fathers We congratulate
the recipients of this Justly merited
bounty on the reappointmeut of Colonel
Bisch as the dispenser of the bounty.
By Che way, we undsrstsnd that the
majority of the Commissioners refused
to even have the recent flank movement
of Sheriff Wolfin mentioned in their
presence.

n~It 10 the duty of onr citizens to
encourage first class mechanics. When
ever they are satisfied that one of that
class has located in their midst, thar
should endeavor to retain him by be-
slowing upon him freely their patronage
as well as words of encouragement and
promise. If they make no distinction
between an inferior and an excellent arti-
san, paying the former as much, or
nearly so, for bis style of work as they
are willing TO concede the latter for an
altogether better variety, they may al
ways expect poor work st high rates.
Ordinarily, BY making proper distinc-
ton in those you employ, good work
costs no more than bad, while It Is far
more endurable, and is also a source of
pleasure to the eye. We have been
disposed to think that . proper discrim-
instion between mechanics has not
heretofore been made. Good work was
acceptable if it cost no, more at the out
sat; but where it did, il was passed by
for the cheaper article. In none of our
mechanical branches has this policy
proven more injurious than in that Of
painting. The great desire for cheap
work has resulted in the use Of common
and inferior materials, and the employ
ment of inexperienced and unskillful
mechanics. We have several excellent
painters in our city; but we also have q
good many that are not excellent IL
requires bat little practice to use brush
and put on paint after q manner, and
the consequence is that many undertake
that business as a mere make shift until
they can get into something better. Com
mend rs to q mechanic who loves his
trade and expects to make it the work
of his lifel c F
We have been pleased to observe the
arrival in our city, during the presen.
year, of several first class mechanics,
who will add much to its appearance.
We have especially admired the paint
ing and granting done by an employee
of Mr.. Charles Osborne. We thiRk the
front doors Of some Of our residences
have been improved by bis skillful and
tasteful granting and painting, beyond
anything we have heretofore seen in the
place. We are quite certain our city
cannot afford to lose the services of such
mechanic, and We trust Mr.. Osborne
will receive sufficient orders to enable
him to retain so valuable a workman,
and that he may contribute yet more
largely of bis experience in improving
homes to which bis brush is capable Of
adding so much beauty. loses

Hr The Evansville Journal says the
wholesale dealers of that city do not ad-
