A BRoADwAY dandy, whose clothes
were as fragrant OF musk, cologne, and
other perfumes as though they had been
dipped in q tank Of extracts, was exhibit.
Ing himself on the steps Of one Of our
hotels, when Yankee from the country
came ont and stood beside him to his
great annoyance. He showed his disgust
IN many ways, and finally tried to raise a
laugh at the Yankees expenses The
Yankee took no oifense, but said to him: :
II say, shall tell you how to take the
smell out OF them ERE clothes? There's
no use of carrying that ere smell round.
You must bury them ERE clothes about q
foot in the sand, and in week they'll
smell as sweet as mine" Our dandy has
not since been visible to the naked eve.

sHoRI9.aiter the meeting Of the New
York legislature nearly four months since
bill was introduced in the lower house
,abolishing the absurd stipulation that the
previous formation or expression of an
opinion shall be q ground of challenge
against any person otherwise legally
qualified to serve as juryman. The bill
passed the house by a vote Of 81 to II,
and was reierrnd to the Judiciary COM
mittee Of the senate where it slumbered
for several weeks. During that time the
legislatures Of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri
and Ohio all abolished the idiotic dis.
qualifications Of jurors, as 10 reading
newspapers, &C., which have made jus
tice burlesque in those states as in Other
sections Of the country, and this seems to
have prompted the committee in charge
Of the New York bill to take action on
1t, and last Friday it was reported favor
ably to the senate, with fair prospect Of
its becoming law. 1t Is hoped this re.
form will extend until in no part Of the
country will idiots be selected to serve as
Jurors.

In reply TO q correspondent, we may
say that two movements have been made
toward abolishing the stamp on checks
andthe duties on tea and coffee. In
March, 1871. the House passed a simple
bill abOlishing the duty on tea and coffee
and salt. That went to the Senate and
lay over for that session; during the pres.
ent session the Senate took it up, added a
tariff bill to it, and also clauses abolishing
most of the stamp taxes and the income
tax, and passing 1t in that shape on the
2Sth OF March, 1872, sent it back to the
House. Previous to this, that Is on Feb.
ruary 10th, 1872. the House had passed
another little bill simply abolishing the
duty on tea and coffee, and nothing more.
That billisnow in the hands of the Sen.
ate, and may be taken up and passed any
day. Another effort to abolish the stamp
on checks and various other stamp taxes
is in the bill reported by Mr.. Kelley from
the minorityot the Committee on Ways
and Means and now before the House.

SIGN OF
The Big Hat (!

AS the sign denotes, it is tru-
ly a Hat Store, both for Ladies
and Gents. Every person who
visits Independence is familiar
with Turner Millinery and Fur
nishing Goods Store. Last spring
they added to their stock in the
shape of Gents Hats and Fur
nishing Goods, making it truly
Hat Store. We say it (and
without boasting), that we have
as large and as fine an assort-
ment as can be found in any
store of our class of goods west
of Chicago.
To the Ladies (as usuaD, we
solicit a share ofyour patronage.
To the Gents-remember it is
truly, surely, and the only Hat
Store in the city. Our Facility
and Experience for purchasing
stock is second to none; expcn-
ses small; consequently our
prices we guarantee.
Remember the place, The
Sign of the Big Hat.
