THE POST OFFICE.

If folks will send boys of ten or twelve to
the post office in the evening for their nails,
they must make up their minds to one OF
two things. Either the boys must keep
quieter then heretofore or some of them will
lodge in the Payne House some of these
nights. Decent people are getting tired of
the intolersble nuisance which the young
stsrs make of themselves Union.
The post Office ia misersbly managed at
best. If boys get restless in trying to get
their mail, it is no more than older persons
do. Even 10 fine weather the entrances are
always half looked up, and people have to
elbow and crowd to get both in and out The
postmaster is scarcely ever seen about the
place. Everything is left to the disposal Of
subordinstss. Throughout the day. only
one clerk is regularly on duty, and he ia
mere boy. he does the best he can, but has
too much work to attend to. If person
goes there for . letter, at least ten minutes
are consumed in getting it You are com
PEELED to wait for your turn, just as would
be expected 10 country village of three
hundred inhabitants. Two or three leisurely
gentlemen can be seen standing Importantly
around in the back ground, but as rule,
they treat all thumps and signals with quiet
contempt. Their operations seem chiefly
confined to keeping the stove warm.
1t is very common for vinegar faced, and
nervous old people to grumble about ''the
boys" and the incesssnt noise they make
forgetting that there were good many bows
ten or twenty years sgo, and that they were
not q whit better or quieser than ''the boys,
of tie present generation. 1t 10 q misers

all.hearied, and most contemplate i'm

thence and buoyaDoy of feeling in the same
manner ighs hearted children have done
since the creation Of the world.
Boys, just wait until our eAst-iron post
master trains up that Immaculate infant of
his for your future instruction snd example.
In the mean time, let Hsverstick attend to
his official duties, as the public have right
to expect, and let him also see that some OF
the older boys" in his employ DO very
much the same. There will then be less
cause for complaint on both sides of the
question.

Nor In Coon TASTE. People who earn q

Amuse the audience a fixed length OF time.
When that time expires, they are exceed

therefore not exactly in good taste to force
them to double their programme, and conse-
quently 10 increase their labor for the same
money, by compelling them TO repeat zach
song or representation by peremptory en-
eores. In large and fashionable cities it is
not customary for fAvorites to do more than
advance upon the stage and bow aeknowl-
sdgement for outbursts of applause, at the
conclusion Of an act or song. We don't
assert that any Rock Island audience ever
omitted to think of these little matters. We
charge the inadvertancy entirely to an

ZIG RACE.
Logan Against Lady Fox.

On Thursday afternoon next, al two
o'clock, trotting match of more than ordi
nary interest, will ranspire on the race
course Ct the Fair Grounds, on which sport.
ing men will hazard considerable sums of
money.
Inc match was made up some two months
ago. One of the contestants ia Lady Fox,
owned at New Boston, and driven BY ],
Pufisnbarger. The Lady Fox is q magnif-
cent animal, and enjoys high reputation
for speed and me,tls. Having never trotted
Al Rock Island, her appearance on our turf
will cause quite rally Of our sporting men
and horse fanciers. She ran at the last
Davenport fair, and is well known through
out the west The match was provoked by
the enthusiasm Of her admirers.
Her opponent is the graceful aud noble
turfer, Logan, owned by L. A. Macarthur,
of Burlington, and in the charge Of Mr.
Smith. Logan is one of Rock Islands old
fAvorites, and is entirely familiar with the
course on which be is to meet so redoubta
BILE an adversary. At the Canton fair be
contracted Q slight lsmeness, which hs,
somewhat postponed the pending match
This morning he arrived from Burlington
on the steamer Keithsburg, and humble
of our very best judges of fact stock assur,
Us they never saw him looking finer sine,
be first entered the arena. Not q trace o
lameness or inability remains, and he is il
: perfect condition for the trial.
The purse for which these two notabl
! nsgs will struggle, is round one for a sin
gle race at thiS quarter of the State. Fac
party interested puts up $1,000, making
neat purse Of $4,000. We understand ths
d up great deal Of money on the match, an
9 pretty closely dividing their bets. Som
are hazarding on Logan, and ,ome o
# Lady Fox. Our Rock Island sportsme
( are not difident, either. A good man
U greenbacks will change hands.
Taken altogether, this is one of Il
closest matches that could possibly be d.
q vised, and lively times may be anticipates
Z The horses are among the best in the ives
Or After the principal race has taken plsc
Ie there is strong talk of bringing Harr
Noble out against Bsshsw Drury, whiC
will greatly add to the interest Of the occ
sion. Even another match may yet
decided on. The track at our Fair Grount
was chosen 10 preference to that at eth
Davenport or Burlington. Il was never
