PosT-TRADERsHIP. = In reply to a
question regarding post traderships,
General Sherman said: There have
been great abuses in the appointment
of post traders. Officers in command
are the best judges Of the fitness of ap.
plicants, so it seems to me, and the
pest trader should be selected by a
board of officers, and his pane simply
submitted to the Secretary OF War for
approval, | think the transfer of the
Indian bureau to the War Department
the best thing that could be done. No
men in the country are betteracquaint-
ed with the Indians than the officers on
the frontier, nor are there yin whom
the Indians have so much confidence
when snce their word is pledged. The
transfer will be the solution oil a long
and wearying difficulty.

box was taken TO three different ex-
press offices, but the agents refused

it remained until Saturday last, when
Mr.. Miller knocked off the cover, and
discovered the hand, arm and breast
of q woman. The flesh had withered
on the bones. The remains had been
jammed into a narrow space, with the
arm bent under the breast. The hand
was long and slender, A tws-ounce
phial labelled "carbolic acid" lay in
the box, and the whole was wrapped
in what was once white muslin. The
mysterious package was taken 10 the

box was addressed to Mr.. Stockton,

The word guinea. owes its origin to a
circuD stance which shed great lustre on
their naval re sords. In the year 1866, Sir
II. Holmes, highly distinguished admi-
raj, having contributed to the total dis
eomfiture Of the Dutch, under DR.. Ruy-

the victorious fleet to the coast Of Hol-
land. where he had good fortune to cap

Of rich merchants ships, valued at 4l,-
100000, part of which, being freighted
with bullion and gold-dust from Cape
Coast Castle, an African settlement be-
longing to the enemy. This rich prize
was soon after coined into twenty one
Shilling pieces" and acquired the name
of Guinea. with reference to the country
from which it was derived. About this
time our copper currency was first struck
with figure of Britannia upon the OBJ
verse in compliment to Miss Stuart. one
of Charles Seconds most memorable
beauties, and it Is said to have originally
born a striking resemblance to that lady,
from whose person it was expressly mod

and he said was another; and said, Go there

An Epitaph.
Tale of an OK Yoke.

Uncle Sol Licklider lives on Jake's prairie, and
has lived there for the last forty years. During
the dry seasons we were SO unfortunate as to
endure some years since, Uncle Sol became dis
gusted with the ridge and moved into the valley
for the sake of water. And this year be got
enough of it. During one of the freshets his OK
yoke was carried away and lodged in the bot
toms below. A neighbor discovered it and to
prevent it being still farther removed withdrew
one of the bows and fastened it around small
tree In his searches Uncle Sol came upon the
missing property and was wonderstruck at what
he considered its strange position. Said the old
man: :" ] looked up at the tree; not a limb W as
broken. 1t could not have COL on over the top.
The roots wers undisturbed and it could not have
gone on at the bottom. l hadn't an axe to cut
down the tree, and l wanted my yoke. SO
climbed the tree, broke off every limb, and took
the yoke over the top, and, gentlemen, the hard
est work ever had in my life was carrying
that yoke up the tree. To make the derDed thing
still more aggravating, just as l got it clear
dropped it, the bow pin dew out and the bow
went with it, and just then happened to think
might have got that yoke off if hadn't been C
bigger fool than Thompson's colt."-Crawford

An amusing thing occurred at the Presbyterian
Sunday School, last Sabbath, which reflects some
what upon the Democracy. The minister was
cstechising on the rebellion of Absalom, which
was the subject of the days lesson, and was ell
deavOriDg to ascertain how much the scholars
had retained of the story. He asked what Absa-
Loo, was called, and failing to bring out the an
swer (rebel), he remarked: swell, children, we
had Q war in this country some years ago, now
what were those men called who brought it on Z"
Secessionists," said one. ''Yes, but there was
other name by which they were known" At
this question, a little fellow back in the room,
yelled out, democrats" to the infinite amuse-
meIt of the school.

And men of every shade and race

Toward Buckeye wales and Hoosier plain
And every bosom thrills;
When this Is done well push the fight,
And IL is our intent
To cast our vote for gallant Hayes,
And make him President.
Well swear upon the stripes and stars,

To battle only for the men
Who helped the Union save;
By all the blood the war has shed,
By all we hope to be,
Well rally TO the standard now
That keeps the Union free.

THE PLATFORM


We hold the United States one nation.
With equal rights for every tation.
We safely brought the country through
Rebellion-and well keep il, too.
Congress and President must see
What free We made must still be free
All obligations Of the State
Must be fulfilled ipviolafe.
Appoint We none but honest men
And bold them 70 their duty then.
The Public schools must be maintained
And not by sectaries be stained
Protect our native industries,
Not those Of men beyond the seas.
For Iailroads not our broad domain,
But for our yeomanis nerve and brain.
Our flag must still protect all men,
Born or adopted citizen
The Chinese problem must he solved
A: once by those on whom devolved-
Well list TO what the women say
OF rights-and then act as We may.
Polygamy must be crushed out,
And all such dOings, without doubt.
Our promises must be fulfilled
To tn boys in blue; it's thus we've willed
The Democrats must be demolished
And Senatorial jealousies abolished.
And, as eight years he's seen us through,
Here's health To Grant; and 70 adieu-
