Among tho most valuable Of our exchanges Is
the Rural .NtlC Yorker, which Is worthy Of gem
eral circulation wherever farmers have an eye TO
their own peculiar interests. The editor, d. d.
T. Moore, ought to have the D. d. after his name
Instead oi before 1t, and thus stand among JOnr.
nalists as plain T. Moore. (NO pun inlendcd)
Now never was much on seeing the
point of u joke, but l resolved would
study out tho hidden "pun" which was
not intended by the editor, il it took me n
week. have worried over it ever since,
and have made no progress. The week
is up this evening, and no ray orlight has
yet lighted up my benighted understand
ing. am ashamed 10 confess that can't
see joke, and have therefore avoided
asking any one for the explanation; but l
can't endure my present state of mind on
the subject, and therefore adopt this meth.
cd of relief. hope you will waive your
rule not to notice anonymous letters, and
print an explanation. .BIocKHEAD. .

In the contest for Senator Of the United
States, which is one OF the responsible
ties suddenly thrown upon our Demo
cratic brethren, there seem to be wheels
within wheels. For example, such as
this, referred TO by the RavenswOOd Nctrs:
.'Itisrumored that the "lcadcrs" ut Par.
kersburg are working for the election Of
Okoy johnson rs President Of the State
Senate, intending, il possible, to put ia.
cob in Willcy's place, by which arrange
ment OkCy will be Governor"
But what becomes Of the JACKsoNs TN.
der this arrangement: What does Par
kcnburg care about any intrigue that
leaves them out in the cold? Who has
earned scat in the Senate If not the five
capital is? And if the three capital is
nrc made Senator, what is to compensate
for the smirched judicial erminc: Mr..
JOHNSON would make Il very fair Gov
crnor and Mr.. JACOB a respectable ScnN-
tor, but where docs the compensation of
Judge JACKSON come in? Or'are we To
have fresh illustration Of the old saw
about the ingratitude Of Republics?

KANSAS DIvERsIoNs.-A party OF gamb-
Iers sat down to small game OF euchrc
on election day on the outrageous bank
OF Kansas creek. The sport went on
peacefully for while, until one Of the
gentlemen was discovered making use OF
that ignorance Of the game which proved
so exasperating to William Nye and
James Truthful in II famous passage on
Table Mountain. The ordeal by battle
was decided upon for settlement Of the
points Mt issue. Two combNtantS fought
n duel on horseback, in which they dis.
sCclcd each other like jealous young sur
gc0ns, and their horses, catching the
Chivalrous infection, bit and tore each
others nCCkS and cheeks into shrcds.
When the fight and one Of the gamblers
were finished, the survivor was promptly
shot by spectator, who had probably bet
on different result, and the fighting be-
came general. Tho whole party was soon
stretched out on the Autunnal herbHge,
when, unfortunately, Il physician (Dr.
Lawrence, who tells the stOryO passed
that way and rendered professional assis-
tance, and it is feared some Of the gamb-
lcrs may recover. t-. .f.... Il

Smith and Chester, Chief of Law Divis.
ion, on tho subject Of the assessment ol
tax upon what is known as the so per
cent scrip dividend declared by the New
York Central Railroad. They said the
reason why they hal not heretofore made
n statement Of the facts in the case, was
that tho person most capable Of giving Il,
the bOok.keepcr, was obliged to go TO
Europe for the benefit Of his health, and
on his return, commenced the work, but
was again taken sick. They asked tor
the pOstpOnemcnt of the matter until his
rcvovery. Tho Acting Commissioner
thought that time was too indefinite, but
said that the collector OF internal revenue
at Albany would be instructed to suspend
the COLLECTION OF taXiuntil the lst Of Jan
uary, unless otherw SC ordered by law,
by which time the delegation promised to
have tho facts, either through the book
keeper or some other person. The ques.
tion was asked whether the Bureau would
not decide on the law in advance, so that
the assessor would be thus guided in the
matter, but the Commissioner replied that
the Bureau preferred to hear the facts
before giving decision. The interview
was mainly for the purpose of extending
the time until about the 18th Of January.
The delegation may have another inter
view. .Ha" "'..DH-
OPERATIONS OF TIE ARMY RETIRING

WASHINGTON, November 90.
The Army Retiring Board, now in
session at the War Department, will
probably complete its business III two
weeks. Upwards Of $50 officers, princi'
pally captains and lieutcnants, have been
summoned for examination on questions
touching their qualifications for office, in:
Guiding the question as to their moral
character. The act Of Congress increNs:
ing the number OF officers on the retired
list to so instead of per cent, Is being
carried into effect. There are three Re-
firing Boards in session, respectively, in
New York, Lcavenworth aud San Fran
cisco. The applications for retirement
were so numerous TINT it was COntcm-
plated to ask Congress TO enlarge tho list
in order TO make room for all disabled
officers; but from the reports thus far, the
Board will not find more than 80 officers
incapAcitated for service from physical
disabilities contracted in the line Of duty.
