BusY.-We dropped into Donaldson d
Kyles saw factory, this morning, and found
sll hands busy, and every machine running
up to its fullest capacity. The demand for
the saws turned out by this firm is decidedly
on the increase. Orders are rushing in
from every state in the northwest. The fact
is, all the manufacturers of Rock Island have
their hands full, and are reaping the usua
harvest of pluck perseverance, and industry.

We have secured the only Office that is of any
pecuniary yalue.--Radical Organ.
Certainly. OF course. An Office that
don't "poy' is of no aecoun. to radical.
The radicals nearly abandoned all their 9TH
er candidates to secure the one which had
pay in it. They used money and were gull
ty of all sorts of meanness and unfairness to
accomplish the object and now the clique
rejoice greatly over the defeat of an honest
upright, christian Irishman and catholic.
The radicals abandoned Gregg, Hansgen,
and all the balance of their ticket, in order
to trade votes to beat Patrick Grant. They
have overleaped themselves and it will re.
act upon them, at next election.

The Rim Union is trying to humbug bu-

reports published II hours behind the ARGUS
ket reports of Chicago, New York and st.

o'clock in the afternoon, when the market
rates for the day are fixed and sales known.
Copies of the very same dispatches are taken
by the Union and published IL hours behind
the ARGUS. People on the line of road to
Cordova, people in town, or anywhere else,
who get the ARGUS the evening it is printed
have II hours advantage of those who take
the Union, in the matter of market news.

Edwin Booths new theatre. on the
southeast corner of Twentythird street
and Sixth avenue, New York, is said to
be one of the most magnificent build
ings on the American continent. The
front of the structure, on 23d street, is
1874 feet in length, and the theatre front
measuring $50 feet. The other "a feet
is the width of a wing of the main
building, which abuts upon its west
end, and has a frontage of rs feet on
the Sixth avenue. The lower part of
this wing is arranged for stores. while
the upper part contains offices, studies,
miscellaneous rooms, and rooms for
Masonic Lodge. The theatre is 100
feet deep, from north to south, and 120
feet in height. The main entrance
opens from Twenty third street, but
there is another large entrance, open
ing from the Sixth avenue. There are

80 dressing rooms, Booths private
apartments, and fire-proof room for
the wardrobe, all the arrangements
being completeand elegant The build
ing is constructed in the most substan-
tial manner throughout, and the ma

as far as possible. Not a rope is to be
used on the stage, stout wire cable be-

theatre will be the most refined and un-
exceptionable place of amusement in
the metropolis.

ELIZABETH REAL ESTATE.

The movement in bullding-lots in
this city for the last two OF three
months has been unprecedented, par
ticularly in the vicinity of the north
depot All that tract formerly belong
ing to the late L. \. Kellogg estate,
laying between the estate of J. W. Al
den and North avenue on both sides OF
Jefferson avenue, east of the New Jer
sew Railroad. has been sold to some
five OF six different parties for building
purposes. On the west side of the
west side of the Railroad and north OF
North avenue, Charles l.. Doe, John
Davidson and others have purchased
TWENTY-FIVE acres. and south of north
avenue between Grant ayenne and the
Railroad, to Port avenue with the eX-
ception of one or two lots owned by
others, the same parties have purchas-
ed for building purposes. On this lat
ter purchase the New Jersey Railroad
and Transportation Company, have
agreed to erect new 4 pot within four
months, for the accommodation OF this
rapidly growing part OF our city, and
stop many of their trains at the oW
depot on and after Monday next until
the ,c,r one shall have been completed.
Indeed all the lots GA Jefferson avenue
between North and Jefferson Parks
have been sold, and several first-class
houses are being erected by the pur-
chasers. The concrete pavement for
sidewalks seems to be gaining III favor,
and is said to be preferable, both on ac-
count of cost and durability.
Madison avenue is also rapidly filling
up between the two parks above men
toned. 1t is being graded and curbed,
and in another year will be paved. The
houses already erected are first class,
and when the street is paved, this av-
enue will take rank with Jefferson, and
other paved avenues of the city. Sew
eral eligible sites on this avenue have
recently changed hands. Among the
most desirable of which are Mary and
Madison to Mr.. Ahern's, and the north
west corner of Madison and Port av
enues to Dexter Fairbank, Esq.
In another article we design to notice
some of the Improvements going on,
and contemplated on some of the other
avenues in this part of our growing
city.

A PfsOCLA NATION
GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY.
BY TlIR

GOVERNOR OF NEW JERSEY.
The events of the past year afford abundant
cause for most heartfelt Thanksgiving to Al
mighty God.
Our country seems to be entering upon Il
new life of peace and prosperity Commerce,
manufacturers and the pursuits Of agriculture
are melted to renewed vigor and activity.
Personal liberty and public security seem to
be insured to us for all time. The enduring
triumph of the principles of free government
over rebellion and anarchy i'll this land is re-
generating the nations of the earth, and the
liberal principles of equality and recognition
Of man as man are working good through
out the world which none can limit.
Let us then thank God for these and all
other mercies. Let us especially thank Him
for His blessings upon this our beloved State
That while increasing in every material
wealth we have been during the past year ex-
empted from all natural commissions, pesti-
lence and famine-That our citizens in the
enjoyment of the fullest liberty are moral,
virtuous and law-abiding people-That the
poor and INDECENT have been cared for, the
disabled soldiers of the State supported and
their orphans protected, and that the oppor-
tunities of education and advancement are
open to all.
For these reasons, and in accordance with
established custom, l, MARCUS l.. WARD,
Governor of the State of New Jersey, do here
by set apart and appoint
Thursday, the 26th day Of NOvem-
Der, instant,
as day of Thanksgiving, Prayer and Praise,
and I do recommend that upon that day the
people of this State assemble in their various
places of worship and prayer, and while hum
bly, acknowledging the mercies of our all Sra-
cious Father in the past, do invoke him to be
with us in the future.
Given under my hand and privy seal, at the
city of Trenton, on the fifth day OF
November, Ammo Domini, eight

The JApENEsE AND Our "ToMMY.

lHE JAPENESE AND OUh IoMm1'
The public, and especially the ladies,
will be glad to hear that Japanese Tom
my, so well-known in this country, is
alive and fourishing. The first news
paper established IN Japan was started
in Yokohama during the rebellion, and
our friend Tommy is the managing
editor This we learn from an inter-
eresting lecture delivered in New York
by Mr.. George S. Fisher, late United
States consul to Japan. This gentle
man considers the Japanese fairly en-
titled, on the score of ingenuity, to be
called the yellow Yankees of the East.
As nation they have made more pro.
gress in eight years than the Chinese
in fifty. The Chinese do not under
stand the steam engine the Japanese
are quite at home at it. The Chinese
will never, if they can avoid it, adopt a
foreign custom the japanese are ever
disposed to adopt any practice they
deem useful. Some OF their public
professions present to the eye Of the
foreigner q unique, magnificent and
unparalleled appearance. Among the
amusaments is the tournaments prac-
tised by the daimios. Boar hunting
has its votaries, travelling shops of all
kinds are to be met with, but no circus
has made its appearance. The latter
want suggests a fine opening for
some adoleccont and ambitious Dan
Rice
The interior of Japan is abundantly
watered. The valleys are described as
exceedingly fertile, while the wood
lands equal anything on the American
continent. The camelia japonica is Of
ten seen growing to an attitude of six
ty feet the acacia, the camphor wood
trees, the palm tree, the tall cedars,
the variety of chrysantheum rhoden'
rons, the orange, the fig and pome-
granate are on every hand, and add in
tense beauty and interest to the land
scape. Mr.. Fisher estimates the pop
ulation at 100000 His testimony
leads us to believe that the people OF
Japan are more dignifed, intelligent,
self reliant, generous and hospitality
inclined than any other Eastern or In
dian people. Caste is not carried out
as in India, still there is an insurmoun-
table barrier between the common PEG
pie and the nobility. People who have
been at a loss to know how or in what
manner the japanese use paper in the
manufacture of thouane articles, vii
be surprised to learn that the ceilings
partitions, doors and windows o
japanese houses are made of paper.

shin on Fire OF Sag Harbor,

On Tuesday evening, about 7 o'clock,
a large vessel was seen on fire about
ten miles east of Sag Harbor. As a
strong eastern wind prevailed, and as the
surf ran high at the time, it was impos
sible to communicate with her. Colored
rockets were sent up from the burning
vessel as signals of distress. She must
have been large ship, as she was seen
burning upward of two hours.

etc, in vast quantities. He says
everything on his farm is lovely and
the goose hangs high.
