will be absorbed. II the new normal Il
located elsewhere, the Carbondale col
lege will continue to perform Its usefu
mission, and thus Egypt will have tn
normal schools instead Of one. II Carbon
dale were the only place In Southern
Illinois, our objection would then lacl
force-one normal school might suffice
But as part Of Egypt is outside the Col
, poration Of Carbondale, We repeat tina
: the Southern Illinois college should re

keeps house Of ill-fame. The neigh

on the subject. All Of them denied any
personal knowledge Of the character Of

that they had heard 1t was "bad." Three

contrary, one Of them was stopping there
to await the arrival Of her husband. Be

she unhesitating ly declared that she had
done no such thing. Thereupon the po'
liceman got up and swore promptly thai
she did. A second "innocent" was there

mean personal illusions. My reputa.
ton is we'll known to the citizens Of
Cairo. have only one desire In this
controversy, and that is, thatit may re-
suit in testing our skill in music. You
say that 1t would be insulting to Mr..
Obernisr to play in company with my
band. Now, in order to prevent this insult
being given, propose thatwe arrange for
time and place to appear before three Of
the best musicians OF Cairo, with our
bands. do not ask the citizens of Cairo
to accept my opinion Of you as a must
clan and am equally opposed to them
accepting yours of me- but am willing
to appear before competent judges with
you, and play any piece, and As many
pieces, as the judges may select, and for
them to publish their Judgement to the
public.
You say that I have never held. place
in any reputable orchestra. Let us see
now have in my possession commits
sian from the King of Prussia, appoint

which position / held for twenty-si'
years. was leader for eight years o

never been rejected upon any occasion
for my want Of skill as o musician. II
conclusion, again ask that the publ
may be permitted to Judge Of our mus
cal skill by fair and impartial test.

.PEAsoDY.-The English vessel which
is bringing home the remains of the
lamentsd George Peabody, sailed from
Portsmouth, England, December 18th.
The Monarch, an i%ron-built, iron-elas
turret ship Of 5000 tons burden, fitted
out in naval mourning, is by order Of
the British Government conveying the
remains to the United States, aud is
escorted by two United States ves-
sells. Further houor,, i. is eonteuded,
should be paid to the remains of the
distinguished American philauthropis,.
The Monarch is propelled by 7OO.horse
power engines, aud carries four 25.ton
Armstrong guns, worked by hydraulic
apparatus. The funeral escort took the
southern route, calling at Madeira or
Fayal for coal. The cabin of the COM
mander OF the Monarch, Captain Com
neral, on the aftermost part Of the
main deck, has been enclosed aud hung
with mourning drapery, and received
the coffin. The Monarch has been
placed in full naval mourning, every
thing projecting above the main decks
having been painted a French gray. A
ribbon Of the same color has also been
painted around the outer side of the
bulwarks. Our American Congress, will
no doubt make q fitting provision for
the funeral o~bserysuces on the arrival
of the remains, which may be expected
about Christmas.

ADULrERArED MILx.-The statistics
OF agriculture show that the number Of
cows in the United States is not suf-

milk, and hence it is argued that adul-

Association Of Massachusetts,, it was
asserted that there were in the State
about 10000 cows, yielding on an
average four quarts of milk a day, or in
the aggregate 600, oOO quarts. OF this
quantity two-third, are used in making
butter and cheese, so that only 200, 900
quarts a day are available for domestic
consumptiou.
