OF manufacturing two 'ids-ths upper lid

lower lid from the skin of the cheek. So
very successfully had this been accom-

GENERAL Lyons OPERATIONS IN THE
LAVA BEDs.-Re said the lava beds OF
Oregon had before been the scene of hos
tilities with the Indians, aud that Gene.
raj Lyons. before the rebellion, while in
command Of small detachment, had
much trouble in fighting the Indians in
that locality. Their amhuahea were 30
effective, and their manner Of warfare 30
advantageous to them, that at first little
progress was made. The lava beds are
on the border OF small lake, in which
are many islands. The Indians would
make such resistance as was. possible, and
when pressed closely. they would take to
their boats and paddle to the islands,
where they could not be followed. Ge-
neral Lyons. however, determined on "a
plan whereby he could reach the islands.
After much care and trouble, he succeed
ed in building several rude boats and
transporting them across the lava beds,
task not easy OF performance, and thty
were duly launched in the lake and filed
with the troops. With these boats, the
islands were easily reached, and the In.
dians were attacked from all sides, and
finally exterminated. General Sherman
said that General Gillem would hereafter
command the troops, and that General
Schofield, who has returned from bis
trip to the Sandwich Islands. will resu NE
command OF the division and depart.

grave Of Captain 8. Lunford, Vir.

The remains OF General Delafield
were escorted to Trinity church, New
York, yesterday morning, where appro-
pirate funeral services were conducted
by several clergymen. The Sun says
the services commemorative of the close
of half century of honorable public
life were short and simple. No military
bands made the display of beating muf-
fled drums, and marching to funeral
dirges The organist softly played a
familiar funeral air, and the clergymen
proceeded with the rites of the church.
The general was seventy.fve years old.
The congregation was made up mainly
OF elderly persons-old ladies wrinkled
by years and tottering under infrmi-
ties, who had known the general when
he was gallant young officer and they
were dimpled gray-haired men, who
held the prayer book with trembling,
palsied hands, and followed the para
graphs of the burial service, which will
be read for them before many years.
The coffin was wrapped in time-worn
and faded American flag, and on it lay
Blooming and fragrant cross and a crown.

THE CITY OFFICES.

The city of Elizabeth is at last in the
control of the Republican party. Fol
many years the Democrats have con.
trolled the place, and the men in then
ranks who contributed to the success Of
that organization, have been rewarded
with office. The Democrats, with c
single exception never bestowed any
position upon Republican, and to-day
the active Republicans have n right tc
expect that those who have Jared stump.
tuously shall be compelled to vacate pc,
sitions which for years they have deem
ed was to be their own forever. The Re-
publicans demand that there shall be a
change. There is now no need of any
coalition. The represen tative5 of the
party are strong in the new city council,
and no excuse will be sufficient for re-
tanning notorious Democrats in office,
under q reform administration.
The Democrats have fought until
they were unable to fight any longer,
and if the Republicans q ct wisely it will
be long while before they will again
live at the public cost.
The police force has been political
machine - the great majority of the
men taking an active part in the can
vass. 1t is time there were additional
changes in the force, fer the policemen
have been the most faithful adherents
of Democracy for years. Men should
only be placed on the force for COM
potency and worth-not for having rem
dered valuable services in aiding the
election of members of council.
The rank and file of the great Repub-
lican party-now that they have re-
claimed the city-ask that their politi-
cal enemies may be compelled to take a
back seat. Men can be found in the
ranks of our own party, who are just as
well qualified for position rs those now
in place. Let the stable be cleaned eff
fectually.

respondents have been busying them.
selves in giving good advice regarding
the circulation Of money. They have
shown, by sundry anecdotes, how great q
number of debts trife of ready money
liquidates. In the midst of their hon.
lies we find the great municipal body
corporate, not, indeed, repudiating
like the state, in the "good old time +,
but persistently procrastinating and
postponing the payment of its debts.
This is its contribution toward "reliev-
ing the present stringency." 1t is hard
to see how we can expect private in
dividuals, with less resources and fewer
means of raising money than the city,
to do much better But the city never
forgets to undertake to play the bene-
factor-though he is the best philan
thropist who begins by paying his
debts.

HOW THE CITY AIDS THE NEEDY


Within the past few days city war
rants are said to have been selling at a
discount of five or six cents ON the dol
lar We would suggest that, while max
ing preparations to hire the employees of
other people, the city should not wholly
neglect the somewhat more immediate
duty of paying its own. 1t is very
nice thing to be generous, but it is well
to begin by being just. 1t is desirable,
but it is not matter of legal obliga-
ton, to give work to more employees;
but it is both desirable and obligatory
to pay the employees We have. Nor will
it do to argue that the cases of those
from whom the payment of their war
rants is kept back are not pressing; for
young women teaching schools on small
salaries, and having others dependent
upon them, are by no means SO over
flowing in wealth that they can afford
to be careless about their wages. There
is another point of view in which to re-
gard this matter, and that is its exceed
ingly bad moral influence and the pub
lie exampleit holds up for not promptly
paying just debts.
We may well reflect how the example
thus set by the city works among an
observant community in respect to the
payment Of debts. Some of our cor
