\ GRACEFUL AcT.-Thc presence of
Brigadier-G Green, the COM
mandant OF this post, at the funeral
obsequies of Colonel DeSaussure,
on Tuesday, was>a graceful tribute bye
one gallant officer to another, who
fell i'll the stern conflict at Gettys-
burg, i'll which both were partici-
pants, but on opposite sides. This
act is in keeping with the courtesy
manifested by the commandant in the
conduct Of his difficult mission, and
will be appreciated by our people.
We are almost daily under obliga-
tions to the polite and attentive
officers Of the Southern Express
Company. That express companies
are useful institutions, there is not
shadow of doubt-and the South
ern is one of 'em. If money is to be
collected in any part of the habitable
globe, entrust it to the Southern Ex-
press Company; if goods are wanted
in double-quick time, ship by tie
Southern Express Company; and if
you want to run against a clever set
of folks, step into the office of the
Southern Express Company. We do
''freckwently."
A NICE LITTLE BY-PLAY.- un-
derstand that the Columbia and Au-
gusta Railroad, i'll conformity with
their charter, intended, yesterday
morning, to lay a crossing over the
South Carolina Railroad track. The
officials of the latter company las q
suit is pending rs to the validity OF
the charter of the former, infringing
upon the vested rights of the Iatter.)
have adopted novel procedure to
battle the efforts of the new company
i'll laying down their crossing con
nection. Early yesterday morning,
they started al engine near the dis
puted point, and singular enough, it
has been plying all day yesterday, bu
never out of sight of the aforesaid
intended intersection. Both parties,
we learn, are in earnest, and the re-
suit will be looked to with interest.
REGISTRATION IN THIS STATE
Judge Aldrich, in q letter to the
4uercmy, urges that every man in the
State who can register his Il fine
should do so. He says:
"There are other matters to be
passed upon by the country, under
the military bill, besides who shall
be members Of the convention. The
constitution to be framed by that
convention is to be submitted to the
people for their approval, and unless
the privilege of voting is secured by
registration, the power of the country

r. 1t is curious fact connected
with deep mining, that from the
hours Of twelve at night till three in
the morning the disturbing influence
in the bowels of the earth obtains
increased activity. At that time it
is observed by miners that water
falls from places where none is OBJ
servablc during the day. Tho vol
umc in the wheel is perceptibly in
creased, the atmosphere is charged
with gasscs which often prevent the
lights from burning. and small par
ticles of earth and rock are observed
to fall from the tops OF the drives.
Whether this phenomenon is to be
attributed To the diurnal motion Of
the earth or other causes. it is wor-
thy the attention of the curious.

THE LOCAL PAPER.-The following
well-told truth is from the Chicago
Republican,: -
Whether the people Wilt or not
the local paper is their representative
abroad, their ambassador in foreign
parts, by which they must be judged.
Let them, then, take patriotic in
tercst in giving it news, cooperation
and patronage. Like every. other
duty performed. it will pay in the
lorg run"

man who preached yesterday, and
then they kiss. and then blush and
larf at what they say tn ech uther,

BELIEVE THE BEsT.-He who thinks
better of his neighbors than they de-
serve cannot be bad man, for til
standard by which his judgment is
formed is the goodness of his own
heart. 1t is the base only who be-
lieve all men base, or in other words,
like themselves. Few, however, are
all evil. Even Nero did good turn
for somebody-for when Rome was
rejoicing over his death some loving
hand covered his grave with flowers.
Public men arc seldom or never fair
ly judged while living. However
pure, they cannot escape calumny;
however incorrect, they are sure to
find eulogists. History mayIdo them
justice, but they rarely get it while
alive, either from friend or foe.

TURKISH PRovERDs.-A small stone
often makes great noise. A fool
ish friend is, at times, greater
annoyance than wise enemy.
You'll not swcctcn your mouth by
saying " honey" If a man would
live in peace he should be blind,
deaf, and dumb. DO good and throw
it into the sea, ifthe fish know it not,
the Lord will. Who fears God need
not fear man. Ifthy foe be as small
as a gnat, fancy him as large as an
elephant. A man who wceps forev-
cry one will soon have lost his eye
sight. More is learned from conver-
sation than from books. A friend is
of more worth than a kinsman. He
rides seldom who never rides any but
a borrowed horse. Trust to tho
whiteness Of his turban who bought
the soap on credit. Death is a
black camel, that kneels before every
mans door.

TIE GM ERs OF NEvADA.-About
twenty miles from Carson City, Ne
vadd, are some remarkable mineral
springs called Steamboat Springs,
from the noise they make, which
sounds like several steamers discharg-
ing steam. These springs cover an
area of about three acres. The wa
ter is boiling hot, and the escaping
steam can be seen for several miles
before sunrise, and the atmosphere
it, the vicinity is filled with the smell
of sulphur. The water cures the
rheumatism eifcctually. There ere
ereviccs in the rocks where the Wa
ter can be seen boiling at depth of
thirty feet. There is also Il spring
which is called the Breathing Spring.
1t is shaped much like well. The
water reccdes to the depth of ten
or twelve feet, ard remains calm for
five minucs, and then commences to
boil, and rises until it shoots in the
air above ten feet, and in five min
utes it begins to recede.

One day, some member being absent,
Tommy was allowed to take his

stone china, and as was customary,
were turned upside down, thus show

Time of game hrs 80 min.
There was frequent applause during the
playing, when some fine catch or run was
made-and it was just as hearty for one
side as for the other. At the close of the
game there was no applause whatever, from
the audience, which, we thought, was in very
good taste. The clubs, however, met and
cheered each other, and then, with few in
vited guests, adjourned to the Rodman
House and partook of an excellent supper.
after which the Pioneers returned to Genes
60.
The Pioneers having won the first game
and the. Wapellos the second, the decision of
the match will depend upon the next game.
Various suggestions are being made as to
the time and place for the final game for the
championship. We suggest Big island as
the place, for there, in the fine groves ofthe
Island, can be held pleasant pic mic, and
all from Geneseo to the grounds can reach
the spot by cars, and be set down at the
play grounds. No better ground can be
found, or lovelier spot. The time is matter
of no importance-but the place we think is
the best which can be found.
The ground of the Lively Turtles, near
this city, is also neutral place, and there is
fine grove near by for pic mic.

EPIsCopAL SUNDAY SCHOOL Pic Me
The Sunday schools of the episcopal church
es of Davenport and Rock Island had their
annual pic mic last Saturday on the Girls.
void college grounds, in Davenport. The
Sunday school of Trinity Parish, Davenport,
was in strong force upon the ground. Also,
that of the Bishops church. That of the
mission at Gilbert presented a goodly array
of scholars. Trinity Parish, at Rock Island,
appeared with full ranks, carrying banners,
and were under the charge of the Rev. Mr..
Brooke. The day was fine and everybody
well pleased with the exercises.
