GEN. SHERIDAN thinks there is too much
talk about forgiveness of the South. He was
present at presentation of colors to Chi
cago regiment on the evening of Decoration
Day, and was called upon for speech.
Finally he came forward and said: 81 came

tion of flag to the Second Regiment, in

take part in the exercises. But perhaps it is
not inappropriate for me to say few words.

many of those men fell in my command.

THE Hon. Hiram Price and others have
through the counsel for the trustee made
proposition to buy the Iowa Central Railroad
for thirty-three per cent of the first mort
gage. In other words these gentlemen be-
lieving, as they had very fair reason to be-
lieve, that the bondholders would by this
time be worn out by the long and unsatisfac-
tory litigation before Judge Dillon, who is
the son-in-law of the Hon. Hiram Price,
propose to become the owners of the road for
one-third, or TO speak more exactly for less
than one-fourth of its cost. This is interest
ing testimony as to the value of the road, for
Mr.. Price was very early in the history of the
litigation appointed commissioner by Judge
Dillon to examine the road and make report
thereon. Hence it is great satisfaction to
learn from competent authority that the road
is still valuable. Moreover the bondholders
need have no fear; for while the history of
this road makes it evident that in Iowa no
such prejudice prevails against relatives as
disfigured the administration of Jefferson,
yet the court has evidently now got hold of
the idea that railroad will probably do bet
ter in the hands of its owners than in the
hands of the most capable politicians.

A NEW departure in the history of board
ing schools is made by the Principal of a
Young Ladies' Institute in Brooklyn. He is
attempting to secure the Indictment of a
young man who flirted with one of the girls.
1t is easy to foresee that this rash endeavor to
overthrow time-honored customs will seri-
ousy injure the popularity of the school.

CONNECTICUT legislators object to the new
plan of winter sessions, and complain that
the state house is dreary place in winter.
In summer they say, the capital is much
more attractive. They can lounge about in
the park, and lie under the trees and form
gigantic plans for the improvement of the
state while they sip cooling beverages. There
is much better chance for junketing too in
the summer But the people of Connecticut

The following well-merited no.
tice is taken from the August II UNI
Der of tho Paper Trade, published
at Chicago:
Mr.. Daniel Hurlbut, of Bradford,
VT, sends us sample of his straw
wrapping paper which we should
like to have Western MANUFACTURE,
ers examine. We doubt whether
one of them has ever made a bun
die Of as smooth, clean, perfectly
digested paper as this We do not
say that they cannot do it. One
reason why they do not is because
paper that can be bought for about
two cents seems to answer the de-
mands of the market, while Mr.
Ilurbut says he cannot sell his for
less than three cents. 1t is worth
it. Paper of this character is eX-
ceedingly credtable to the produc-
er. 1t is not complimentary to pa,
per makers or paper buyers that
such stuff as is sometimes produced
can be sold. With splendid straw,
good water, and, in many cases,
newer and better machines than
those in some Eastern mills, the
one referred to, for instance, there
is no reason why Western manufac.
turers cannot make straw paper of
the very best quality. We should
like to have some of them try it on
and send us samples.
