rhe immediate cause of Minister

The immediate cause of Minister
Simon's resignation seems to have been
q rather severe letter from President
MacMahon, calling him to account for
having taken no part in the debate on
certain bills, which his position called
upon him to sustain. The bills were
acted upon adversely to the wishes of
the government, and the president
seems to think that NJ. Simon by throw
ing his weight into the balance, might
have changed the popular tide. In his
letter of resignation the minister says
he was absent and ill when the discus
sion occurred, but that he had already
taken steps to induce his colleagues to
reconsider their vote. The presidents
action apparently was somewhat hasty

A Doomed Town.

We learn that Cedar City, in this
county, is in hapless condition. All
hope Of saving the town had been aban-
doned, and the peop.J are moving out.
All the houses that could be moved are
being pushed back toward the hills.
The depot will also be moved. Quite a
number of convicts are at work to stop
the ravages of the river, but their labors
are hardly sufficient to accomplish so
difficult q task. Captain Eads, the
great engineer. has visited the place, and
recommends deep piling as the only
thing that can possibly stop the washing
away of the lands threatened now with
speedy destruction. Fulton (Mo.) Tele-

Tho Foe Of Pain,

The friend of suffering humanity-the

the patient brute, is MEXICAN Mus

more human lives, and restored more

The state department has dec ided
upon three important rules in

First, to fill the important commercial
consulates with men Of commercial ex-
perience; second, in selecting consuls
for Oriental ports, where judicial duties

edlawyers will beappointed; third, one of
the essential qualities required Of all

The Jassy correspondent Of a I.ondt

The Jassy correspondent of a London
journal, in illustrating the weakness and
ineficiency Of the Roumanian troops,
relates an incident. He says that the
minister of war, in order to accustom
a certain troop to the sounds of war,
ordered an alarm to be given one night.
Since then the minister is said to have
bitterly repented his rash experiment,
because it took him a week to get the
detachment together again. Indeed
the soldiers are not all found even yet,
there are doubts expressed as to wheth-
er they have stopped running or not.

An editorial writer in the Philadel-
phia Bulletin upon the abuse
of the true English says: can
other blunder that is frequently made
by some of the newspapers of this city
that is involved in the sentence: He
concluded to finally go, instead of He
concluded finally to CO." Viewed from
this distance, it would seem that the
word finally might be spared alto
gether, when inconnection with that
other word concluded which in it
self expresses sufficient finality.'

General Stuart of Virginia at a Jac

General Stuart of Virginia at Jack
son dinner was asked to compare Jeffer-
son and John Quincy Adams. 'If, "
said he "a stranger would visit the
residence of Mr.. jefferson and remain
two hours, as he probably would, on
taking leave of the distinguished states
man, his impression would be that he
was the greatest man in the world, and
Mr.. Jefferson next. If he should call
on Mr.. Adams, and by any means pro-
long his visit fifteen minutes, on taking
leave his thoughts would run somewhat
thus: If 1 had any self-respect or self
esteem on entering that home, both are
now gone, and am satisfied that there
is but one great man in the world, and
that, John Quincy Adams.'

THE TRI.STATE FAIR.

The Tri-State Fair at Toledo has been
an immense success. The display Of live
stock is exceedingly good, the show Of
agricultural implements and farm mnehin-
cry IL large, the Vegetable and Fruit Halls
are we'll filled, and the Fine Art Hall is
indeed something OF which Toledo may
well feel proud. Ii is filled with collec-
tion of rare works of art, we'll illustrative
Of the wealth and culture OF the "Future
Great City" Among the most attractive
features Of this Hall are the paintings con-
tributed by Toledo artists, prominent
among which are paintings Of River and
other beautiful scenery, in the vicinity of
Toledo and Perrysburg, by Miss FANNIE
J. SEGUR and Miss CARRIE LUCE, two of
of Toledos most gifted young artists, pu.
pills Of Miss WALDO. Miss LUCE is teach
er OF drawing in the Public Schools of the
City, and Miss SEGuR is a teacher in the
Grammar Department OF the same Schools
Their art productions are alike creditaLle
to Themselves and gratifying to large
circle Of admiring friends.
On Wednesday, the pupils Of the Public
Schools attended the Fair and gave a pub.
lie concert, or rehearsal, under the direc-
tion Of Prof. DANE, that most enthusiastic
and gifted instructor of music. They were
assisted by Miss FITCH, who performed
! her part in = manner which ELECTED the
most hearty applause. Tho Anvil Choru'
was most no'el feature Of the entertain,
nient, and while tho music Of the anvil
may be most effective in the shop, under q
hammer welded by the brawny arm OF th,
blacksmith, still 1t constitutes no uniInpor
tant element in this Chorus. This concert
was very crsditable to Prof. DANE ant
his pupils.
Fast hoTseS were on tho track, and thos.
who attended the Fair had no lack OF ma
tcrial interest and amusement there.

throughout, the fine weather enabling th,
people to turn out en- masse, from the copn

mated that 10000 parsons visited tn
Grounds on Wednesday, and there we're no
less than $4,000 visitors on Thursday. Th

complete success, and wo congratulate il

Toledo Commercial: Democratic editors
have some curious notions Of things. For
instance, the Perrysburg Granger character
i1es as "a dihonorable farce" the expoA-
ure Of the monster defalcation Of the ex-
Collector of New Orleans, now Demo
cratic nominee for State Senator in this
District. Because said official WAS not
imprisoned for such abuse OF trust, that
journal insists that there can be nothing
wrong on his part. This is fair sample
Of the average idea of "reform" which pos,
sesses the leaders OF that party. With
them guilt consists in detection and pun
ishment. The thief who is smart enough
to elude justice, Is all right. But the
Granger finds itself compelled to say some
thing in justification Of it's paity's nomi.

Free Bridge.-The South Toledo Ad-

the purchase Of the bridge between Perrys-

free bridge are no longer BY words, but a
stern reality, and in few days we can
cross the river and recross without having
TO pay for so doing. Mr.. p. Bowling,
who has worked faithfully to secure this
end, informs us that the old bridge has
been bought, and in few days it will
have been transferred to the two counties.
II was bought Of Mess. Waite and Young
last Wednesday morning, for $1,000, the
two counties paying half, and the approach
on this side for $1,000, making the sum
total Of $4,000 The approach Lucas
county will have to pay for, the same a.
IL a new bridge was built, This, TO uH,
seems much better than to build new, for
half OF \ new bridge would cost at the
lowest $4,000, and the fill from $4,000
to $1,000 more. BY buying the old bridge
we pay less than half for the old ap-
proRch than what new one would cost.
As soon Ss she other Commissioners agree
to the purchase OF the approach and fill,
il will be transferred, which will proba-
bly, be in few days. Mr.. Bowling has
