is valuable addition to the agricul-
tural literature of the day, and our en-
terprisng farmers could hardly do
without it.
Mr.. w. J. Jonathan, the horse
trainer, left by the Senator on Sum

part of the State.

of So cash from the till and box of

ed to the second story and penetrated

carrying away valuable gold chain
before he was discovered.

At the Leck's Hall entertainment
last night, the A. M. E. Church real
lied substantial benefit. 1t was q
pleasant affair and was participated in
by people of all nationalities, parties
and colors. A prominent feature of
the entertainment was the presence of
Professor Steen, who, by invitation,
gave them the figure test and an eX-
pertinent in mesmerism. In both he
was successful and received the un-
qualified endorsement of all present.
M. r. Cordero, who figures in the
telegraph as the victim of military
tyranny for going into the Black
Hills, is a sensational fraud. He orig
mated in New Mexico, but claims to
have come from Portugal. He has
been working for sensation for twenty
years, and has at last succeeded. His
travels have taken him from Fort
Union, New Mexico, to Fort Leaven-
worth, Kansas, and from there to the
Northern forts of Idaho and Montana,
always travelling in Uncle Sans con-
veyances as driver of an OK team, and
when not employed dresses well and
is terror to unsophisticated hotel
keepers. In 1865 he humbugged lot
of prospectors in Leavenworth to pay
him a large sum of money to guide
them to mythical gold mine in Ari-
zona, but disappeared the day before
starting. We suspect some little spec
ulation similar to this has been
nipped in the bud and recommend the
military to dry him up by offering
him y job as bull-whacker for about
$50 month.
Wootin's Patent Cabinet Office Sec
retary, although less than one year
old, has reached q sale unprecedented
in the history of manufactured arti-
cles of its kind in the United States.
1t is commanding the attention and
admiration of business and profess
sional men of every branch of trade
from all parts of the country, and is
unquestionably destined very soon to
become the leading business desk of
the world. The many who have ex-
amined and used it, without excep-
tion, have asserted the fact that it
stands without rival. 1t possesses
superior advantages over all other
office desks made and is manufactured
in four different grades, and three
numbers or sizes in each. A uniform
set of hardware, composed of material
which is in perfect harmony with the
design and finish of each class, which,
however,. is more fully described in
price list. 1t locks in all its compart-
ments in less than half minute. 1t
has double the capacity of any desk of
its size, and is so arranged as to ac-
commodate books, papers, stationery,
etc., and is strong and at the same
time light and durable. Brainard e.
