ROCK ISLAND, ...... ILLINOIS,
The New p. NJ. General


A correspondent of the Cincinnati En-
quirer serves up the new Postmaster+Gen-
eral in this way:
Jim Tyner 10 the cabinet! Old Dan
Ulysses is helping on your day OF deliver
ance. Lucky dog, that Tyner, but he is
one of those patient parasites, like Uriah
time comes; a kind of Falstaff when
once aroused, equally ready to prance
through the cabinet with his white locks
or dive into basket of dirty clothes.
Only tell Tyner the party needs it, and he
is ready to strip TO the waist in the pres
ence OF an awe stricken community and
juggle bottles, climb sword ladders and
eat snakes, all for the small sum of what
ever the party thinks those services worth.
He lives in Peru, and has been a kind of
fungus growth on Eleventh District Re
publicanism for the past ten years. They
have tried again and again to get rid OF
him, but they cannot get at the roots, and
periodically he would spring up in some iresh
| form of nuisance In 1868 he was small
storekeeper in Peru, when he decided 10
try for congress- He was ANONYMOUSLY
defeated in convention by honest Dan
Pratt. Next winter Pratt was elevated to
to the United States senate, as colleague
of Morton, aud Tyner stepped into his
congressional boots by special election 10
1869. He was reelected in 1872, but
when he again applied his constituents
remembered something about that salary
grab in 1873, and Evans showed him un-
der. Only several weeks ago Tynel
tried it again. He had issued his defense
Of the grab, in the form of supplement
to the papers in his region, and prostitu
ted the postal service to circulate his doc
uments But bis district failed to evinc'
confidence in Tricky James, and the nomi
nation again went to Evans. He is nov
in position to crow over Evans for beat
ing him twice in convention.

Usage KILLED IN A STEEPLE-CHASE.-Th
days evening sport at Saratoga on Saturday
concluded with steeplc. chase, the starters
being Trouble, Resolute, Stanford, and
Usage. The latter was the favorite, but fell
in the race and, breaking her neck, was
instantly killed. Trouble took the lead at
the start, with rcsolute second, Stanford
third, and Usage fourth. In this manner
they ran round to the water-jump, Trouble
leading four lengths, Stanford taking the
second place, three lengths before Resolute,
and Usage six lengths behind. Trouble
showed the way over the first jumps, and at
the water again he was leading Resolute a
length, and Usage six lengths behind. STAN
ford having gone wrong was out Of the
race. The race was fine one, and excited
much enthusiasm, and when they entered
the track at the half-mile pole Trouble led
Resolute by a length, and Usage was closing
fast. At the hurdle on the lower turn
Usage, who was closing up, turned COM
plete somersault. She broke her spinal col
llmn just at the pole, and died instantly.
Meaney, her jockey, lay stunned for a long
time. He received but slight injuries, how
ever. Trouble and Resolute came on in
the mean time, and after a good run home the
former won the race by two lengths in
G:34&. Stanford came in some time after.

CHASED BY A BEAR.--W hilss at Rockaway
Beach, a few days since, Mr.. Harry Jarrett,
the weli-known theatrical manager, took q
stroll through the pines for exercise. In
twenty minutes he was observed approach
ing the hotel at speed which entirely
threw in the shade the best time ever made
by Goldsmith Maid, closely pursued by a
black bear. When within fifty yards OF the
hotel the bear was close enough to reach
with his paw and tear q section in the rear
OF Mr. Jarretts pantaloons. At this point
q guest drew to his shoulder double-bar-
relied gun, seeing which Bruin retreated
with growl. Mr. Jarrett finally reached
the hotel, and fell breathless on the floor of
the piazza, when his brow was bathed and
q bottle put to his lips, which Immediately
revived him. And here the explanation OF
the affair came in. The proprietor of the
hotel said: ~ntl.
"That bear Of mine Is getting little
crooked again, and has broken his chain to-
day. He is as tame as sheep, and used to
train him to run races with me, and sup
pose he would have little race with JAR
rett on his own account" to which Mr.. JAR
rett replied: "Although I travelled faster.

The cathedral at Chester, England, was
re0pened on August Sth. The work Of resto-
ration has occupied exactly eight years.
The nave roof has been groined, the tower
rebuilt, the Lady Chapel refaced, and the
interior OF the choir restored. Thick layers
OF whitewash have been scraped of, and the
rich red tint Of the sandstone is now seen.
The tabernacle work, famous for its delica-
cy and beauty, has been repaired through
out. The choir pulpit is of oak; the upper
part is divided into three panels, on which
are represented in relief three scenes from
the Bible-the building Of Solomon's Tenn
pie, John the Baptist preaching in the will
derness, and the city of the New Jerusalem.
The communion table is the most interest
ing work in the cathedral. A single slab Of
oak from Bashan forms the top; the sides
and panels are composed OF Syrian olive
wood and cedar Of Lebanon, with carvings
OF the plants connected with the Passion.
