Changing County Names.

The present Legislature has changed the name of Sarber coun- ty to Logan, and Clayton to Clay. 1 In both instances we doubt not i the new names are much more agreeable to the residents of said counties, but it does seem to us that this thing of dilly-dallying at such matters as this is small work for a Legislature sent to the Capital and paid to legislate on matters which will benefit the tax payers. It looks like trying to kill time. What will the peo- pie of either of those counties be benefited by the change? How will their condition be bettered? If it cost nobody but themselves anything to have their whims gratified it would not matter par ticularly, but from tho appropria' tion made by the present Assem- bly for paying the expenses of this session it seems that legislat
 ing is rather costly business 40 days requiring an appropria- tion of $40,000--and the people of other counties have as much of this to bear, as those who arc so whimsical about their county names. The changing of these two names cost the state not less than a considerable sum, and where comes the profit? .

When 60 to the country to visit my relations,

are. l put off the visits as long az possible,

The spare bed is as near mile and a half

old maids bonnet, and the bed is as square and
Ns true as If it had been made up to carpenters
rnle.
No matter whether it be summer or winter, the
bed Is like ice and it sinks down in way to
make one shiver. The sheets are slippery clean,
the pillow slips ust.e like shrouds, and one dare
not stretch his leg down for fear of kicking
against a tombstone
One sinks down until he is lost in the hollow,
and foot by DOT the prime bedposts vanish from
sight de Is worn out and sleepy, but he knows
that the rest OF the family are so far away that
no one could hear HIM if he sheuld shout for an
hour, and this makes him nervous. He wonders
ifany one ever died in that room. and straight
way he sees faces of dead persons, hears strange
noises, and presently feels chill eaIlopipg M

Did any one ever pass comfortable night in A.
spare bed? No matter how many Quilts and

It was announced through the Chicago
papers that the recent meeting of the Grand
Army of the Republic in that city was to be
one OF peace and goodwill to men, and
Southern men especially who respected the
stars and stripes. The editor of the. Inter-
Ocean, however, upon looking at the process
sion as it glittered through the streets, says:
at recalled to recollection the military pris-
ons of the Confederscy, those horrible torture
pens where Union soldiers were starved, shot
and massacred, or languished and died,
through the malign influence Communicable
and Undesirable barbarities, conceivable
only to the most devilish ingenuity"
Just now, when there is o tendency every
where, except in the Administration organs,
to bury the past, the spirit which actuates
the immediate supporters of the President
must strike the soldiers of the Grand Army
themselves as especially ungenerous and
misunderstanding as for instance, the Inter-
Ocean. clinging to the "ex.Confederates in
Congress" bugaboo, tells the G. r. that sit
may have occurred to the mind Of the OBJ
server that the political cry Of 'down with
the soldier has been carried too far at the
North and not far enough at the South.
For, when the next Congress shall convene,
this grim fact will stare the American people
in the tace-that of the hundred generals,
colonies and captains in that assembly eighty
odd are ex-Con1ederates. Some faint percep-
ton of the anomalous nature of the political
situation evidently tinged the surroundings Of
the procession of yesterday, giving to the
pageant itself som Der cast, and to the crowd
of witnesses a reflective air and mien. '-Cou-

A gentleman who was on intimate terms
with Macready says in the course of COM
munication to the New York Post: 81 said
to Macready, in private conversation,
Nothing in Bulwer's career has surprised me
more than his success as a dramatist, for the
reason that few men have written successfully
tor the stage who have not themselves been
actors. For instance, "Richelieu. y" Mac
don't know the history of "Ricbeiieu. 1
will tell you. When Bulwer brought that
play to me, Richeleu was subordinate part
in it. He did not appear until the latter part
of the fourth act. Then, replied the writer,
the world is as much indebted to Macready
as to Bulwer for that plays authorship, to say
nothing of Macready's acting in it. To which
reply Macready smiled and said nothing"

breaking the bone Of his right leg about
six inches below the hip joint. Mr..
Marshall thinks he must have lain in.

He was taken out and conveyed to his
