THE ARSENAL BELL-An improvement has
been made, by placing boards under the bell
to keep the sound out of the top of the tower
and allow it to escape to the open country.
This helps a little, and people can now, if
listening for the bell in the night, hear it oc-
casonally. But nothing will make a good
job of it>but raising it high above the top of
the tower, taking away the bars of iron which
now act as a partial muzzle, and hanging
the bell upon lead or some non-conducting
substance, from the top. 1t would then ring
out clear and fun, all over the surrounding
country. And this, we presume will be
done.

The Erie War.

-"TaE Erie war is practically end
ed"-so says a New York telegram.
The compromise WAS effected at the
Manhattan Club last Sunday night,
Notwithstanding Drew is pillar in
the Methodist Church. He doubt
less went upon the theory ''the bet
lei the day the better the deed, " and
would if disciplined, fall back upon
the Divine inquiry" Is it not lawful
to do good upon the Sabbath day ?"
But whether in point OF fact the set
element was good one for 'he pub
lie or not remains to be seen. The
details have not been given, but we
are certain Senator Sprague was right
when he wrote to the New 1oi K
League Club, "elass privileges and
monopolies are in the main detrimen
tai to the general warfare, I" and
when two great monopolists com
bine, the people may well be appre-
hensive of the result.

The New Grain Movement Grain here

| Farmers and grain dealers and in
fact everybody throughout the
northwest, are watching with much
interest the great grain movement

er before have the economists" in
handling and transporting bread
stntfs been put to 80 practical a test
and with sach prospects of success.
The successful termination of the
Merry Fleet enterprise, that
started late last fall from Dubuque,
has induced others 10 look into the
matter, and try it. The effort of the
Peoria packet company TO draw to
ST Louis the heavy grain trade,
which Tor the past years has gone to
Chicago, are, by this shipment in
bulk, meeting with the most fiattcr~
ing success. This company have
their arrangements So far perfected
that grain aud other articles are ta-
ken at the various points on the III
linois river, and Carried through TO
New Orleans without breaking bulk
The first Of these shipments, con
siSting of 20, 900 bushels Of corn ar
rived in New York on the 9th inst,
in splendid order, having occupied in
the transit just twenty days. The
same parties are so well satisfied
with the result that they have order
ed another barge and propose ship
ping another load. The operations
ofthe Peoria packet company have
had the effect Of not drawing back
the shipments OF the Illinois river,
but also Of drawing shipments from
Chicago. We further learn from the
1T. Louis Democrat that cargo of
wheat is now shipping at Chicago
for this route. /; IS to 20 on the

Merry enterprise and other roads
TO the eastern market will in self,
preservation be forced to similar ac,
uon. Everything thus far speaks
we'll for the ultimate success of this
movement. The floating elevator at
New Orleans, which forms link in
this great project of shipping grain
from the wheat growing states GA
the Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico to
the Atlantic markets, has been tried
and found to accomplish the desired
results. Six thousand bushels Of
corn were transferred by it On the
Goth ult., from barge to the steam
ship Crescent City, in less than two
hours When everything shall be
completed, the dealers of the north
west will in measure have a con

Marrying Rich.

Amos LAWRENCE, the distinguished
Boston merchant, was an advocate
of early marriages., but was strenu-
ously opposed to any mans marrying
a fortune. Speaking of 3 desirable
match for friend. he said. " My
only objection TO her is, that she has
afew thousand dollars in cash. This,
however, might be Temedied for,
after purchasing house, the balance
might be giren to near connections, or to
some public institution"
If some people would look through
Amos Lawrence's lenses the world
would be far happier.
