giving many interesting facts in regard
thereto, We make the following extract,
abiding to The coal Of Southern Indiana.
We have no doubt but that with liberal
ttri.hts on the railroad, the coal from
this section can be put down in Louis
willie at considerable less rates than the
consumers are now compelled Ia pay in
that city:

southern Indiana are of very irregular

parted company, and the sulphur taking

Grinding Wheat Without Mil.

a new mill :Orgrimdimg wheat. II Is de-

qucn,ly the -four is of much superior
quality to that obtained by the usual
why of grinding. and also ara much less
cost. An E,linburg firm has one OF
these dlsimtegrating flour mills in full
operation, and the advantages in its Ia

pointed out IN Mr.. Cars paper. Ii
rarely needs repairing in comparison
with the other millstOncs requires few
err men, and thus saves ia wages is tree
from loss by scorchimg. and thus saves
fire insurance: occupies less space, and
requires less driving power; and. in m...

Sense from AN Unexpected
source.

The Buffalo Commercial Adver-
tiser, while being one of the frmest
and ablcst advocates Of the Republi
can party in the State of New York,
takes issue with the policy of the
President, heretofore having bad it's
sanction, in the following wise and
sensible manner.
"For six years. We have been re-
constructing the South, and now the
report 10 that it's condition is as bad
as ever. Very we'll. Then let an
other plan be tried; let all proscript-
i've laws be repealed; let the South
err States be put into the hands Of
the Southern people; and see if affairs
will not grow better. We mean, of
course. better for the State and
country at large. We do not sup
pose the carpet-bag politicians would
thrive under such an experiment.

The people Of Cresco and Of the
country surrounding are to have on
intellectual feast on the evenings OF
December 9th and 2sth in two lec-
lures from the Rev. John Allison OF
Milwaukee. These lectures are upon
topics Of universal interest, and upon
both of which the speaker is prepar
cd by personal observation to throw
food Of light and facts in his own Pc
culiar and eloquent manner, and
style, The lecture on the Yosemite
is SO beautiful in expression and
imagery that the listener quite fam
cies himself beholding the real beau.
ties Of its grandly magnificent and
picturesque scenery. The lecture on
Utah and the Mormons will give the
listener such an idea of the peculiar
institution as be could not obtain
without months Of study or weeks Of
travel and observation. In their
social, moral, and political aspects
there is no question Of the day that
more nearly interests the people
than the practical solution and riding
our country ofthis great moral ulcer.
Every American citizen owe it to
himself and his country to learn the
nature of the evil, that he may better
understand and apply the remedy.

gold is to be sent to Europe to buy
United States bonds not due until
1881. These bonds if due would rep
resent only as many dollars as they
are drawn for, now they command a
premium and are paid for in gold,
that much being taken directly from
the business Of the country. Green
backs now are worth 50 cents on the
dollar. BY the time the bonds are
due grccnbacks, under judicious man
agement and Legitimate expenditures
should be at par, in gold. Comment
on these facts seems unnecessary.
Buying the bonds now at premium
is in the interests of the foreign cap
italists; paying them when due, in
the meantime retaining the capital in
the United States. is in the interest
Of our own commercial and business
interests.
