Efforts for a good, old fashioned county fair
this fall are meeting with more than gratifying
success. The people are wide awake and deter.
mined to make the twenty. first annual fair the
best yet held in La Sale county. The premium
list will be ready in couple OF weeks, which
on careful perusal will be found to have been
udiciously prepared, and to offer the finest posi-.
BILE variety OF premiums on everything that the
farmer and mechanic Of La Sale county will
have to show or any one can expect to see.
An interesting department will be that Of spc-
cial premiums. These are to be offered by the
admirers Of thoroughbred horses, cattle, chick
ems, &c, independent OF and in addition to the
regular premium list.
Efforts are being made TO get out the fire com
panies and have a display Of their skill on the
grounds; also parade OF the different military
companies of the county, "armed and equipped
according to law"

JACARILLA MINES.

Newspaper correspondents, ana most nota
bly, correspondent of the Quincy (lil) Vh'g
are engaged just now in writing up the JAG
arilla gold and silver mines of New Mexico
as of vastly more promise in rich yield than
the diggings in the Black Hills. They seem
to lie in the southeastern part of New Mexi
co. about 1875 miles nearly south of Santa Fee
and about so miles from Fort Stanton. Their
dearest approach by railroad would appear
to be by the Topeka and Santa Fe road, or by
the way of Denver, Pueblo, etc. All accounts
represent the "pay dirt" as richer than was
ever found IN California, the great difficulty
Being a scarcity of water. To overcome this
dry amalgamator is being tested, and If II
proves success, the Black Hills will be
thrown in the shade by the rich and exten'
sive digglngs in New Mexico. There is plen-
,y of water within fifteen miles OF the mines,
and there is a project on foot to build rail
road from the mines TO the river II the dry
amalgamator fails. The mines are of quite
recent discovery.

tie centennial adoption of the constitution o.

house, or senate, both of the national and state
legislatures, and instead of governors and
presidents elected by the people for fixed

THE HEARTS THAT BLEED,

The thanksgiving day and jubilee in New
Orleans last week over the release of tina,
state from military domination seems to have
placed Packard in the position of the old
lady who, on returning from the funeral OF
her husband, remarked that somehow she
didn't cujoy the funeral as much as she usu.
ally did such things" Packard commemor.
a,ed the day by sending the following dis.
patch to his friend Blaine:
NEW ORLEANS, May l0.-The overthrow
of the lawful State Government was appro.
priately celebrated to-day. Detachments OF
the army and navy of the United States par.
ticpated with the White League of Alabama
and Louisiana in this celebration of Demo
cratic success. Did poetic justice reqSIre
tina, the honors Of this achievement should be
thus equally divided in the absence of the
commission The gray accorded the post of
honor to the blue, and asked no apology. The
Custom House and Post Office were closed
in admiration OF the event. 1t is probable
that United States interference will not be
required hereafter Signed

THERE was little sensation on the west-sde
on Thursday about midnight. couple Of west
side youths returning home were met on the
bridge by two women, clad in the robes Of night
with hair flowing, and shoes Eor.est, who stopped
the boys and told them that an attack had been
made by bold, bad man upon their castle, said
astle being a one.story frame, located on west
Main street, near the "Vermillon coal" offices.
or course, the young men, true gallants, rushed
up town for the police. Not finding them they
rushed back to the anxious females on the
bridge, and armed with pistols, p cent canes
and white neck-ties, marched boldly down the
middle of the street, deploying now and then to
the right or to the left in the faint hope of out
hanking the villain. They closed in on tie
premises, they encompassed it (the gate post
round about SEVERAL" times, but found nothing
in the shape of II man save numerous grease
spots and bad smells. counsel Of war be-
ing held the old man of the house said that the
fellow had been around there all evening, had
kicked the door several times and at last when
ordered away had shot into the house; that he
the "old MANI had revolver, but he was ratur-
ally so quiet and peaceful in his habits and so
not muster the sand to shoot the fellow, hence
he had sent the women up town while he went
to the kitchen for brandy and water to keep his
ire within bOunds-he was getting desperate.
The o. IN. was instructed to shoot II the fellow
came again, and the bulk Of the now large party
OF young men again massed their line and start
ed for the police, whom they met at the bridge,
and who soon put an end to the var-fought a
Sedan in about two minutes. Going to the
house they wanted to know what the matter
was. Being told, they requested the o. m. and
daughters" to climb into the house and "extin.
guish the racket" And the army OF the Potomac
was then and there informed that while at is

and the orphan and distressed females" it is
equally wise in young men 10 let strumpets look

pirate for either the grave or the monu-
ment, and that the State, owning the
site, "has no particular interest in main =
tanning a graveyard. 1t is proposed
that the remains should be removed to
such one of the cemeteries as the sons
OF the deceased might designate, and
that the monument, ii any, might be
erected at the head Of some of the many
boulevards of the city," The same pa
per, the Tribune, says: "Let the State
make small appropriation to remove
the body of MIR. Douglas to any OF the
public cemeteries, and provide for the
enclosure of the lot and an appropriate
commemorative stone. The lot at Cot
tage Grove should then be sold, and the
proceeds might be applied to the erec-
ton of a monument upon some of the
public grounds or thoroughfares in this
city,"
Another proposition is under discus
sion to remove the body of the deceased
statesman to the grounds OF the Chicago
University, and to appropriate the pro-
ceeds of the present site for the erection
Of monument over the new grave.
Taken altogether, this delay in complet-
ing the work commenced with SO much
eclat nearly ten years ago, and this
present discussion ofremoval of remains
and studying to make the proposed
mausoleum u street ornament to bank
rupt city, instead OF a shrine for CRATE
full people TO visit in all time to come, is
not worthy Of Illinois or creditable tc
Chicago. Let the sons of Douglas
like the children of Jacob, dig up the
remains of their revered father and
remove them to the land of his birth o.
to the land where his youth was spont
tor there people dwell who will de
light to honor his memory.
