Dc@- few days ago, one of the Charleston
papers boastcd of having five men in that city
Of 10000 inhabitants, whose aggregate weight
pulled down the beam at over ,lO0bs. Why,
gentlemen, they arc small potatoes, compared to
the men of weight in the town of Union, which
has only about 400 inhabitants. Hero We
have five men who together fairly pulled down
the beam u. ,230lbs; and We have ten men
whose weight averages 23Olbs each.

MATERIAL PROSPECTS,

TUE HERALD notes an able article from
the New York Bulletin, too lengthy to
be copied, which reports a steady adj
vance in business and the most hopeful
prospects for the future The belief is
that the panic Of September, 1873,
reached its end in February, 1876; that
the diseases of debt, extravaganza and
speculation, have run out that bank
ruptcies, ending in exhaustion, are
almost over that experience is doing US
all mental good, though accompanied by
much bodily harm; that decline in prices
below values have come to end; that
weak firms have been weeded out; that
more goods are wanted, especially of
home make. With nothing like specu-
lation or brisRness, there is q steady
advance upward, The only bad sign is
in some Of our corporations and in the
loads of mortgages upon real estate,
which will have to be dealt gently with,
or handed over to foreclosure sales. But
beyond this, low stocks and the absolute
wants of some forty-tour millions Of
people at home and in bread, meat,
cotton and other American productions,
abroad, must and will keep the tide on
the rise until at least something of ante
war prosperity is made certain.

In II little cleft of n city wal
AMI taking root, grew brayely
Tilla tiny blossom crowned Its top.
Only flower but 1t CHANGED that day
That II burdened heart passed by that way
And the message that through the flower
that was sent,
Brought the weary soul sweet content.
For 1t spake OF the lilies so wond'r ously
clad;
And the heart that was tired grew strangely
glad
AT the thought of tender care over all,
That noted even sparrows fall.
Only a thought-but the work it wrought
Could never by tongue or pen be Taught
For it ran through lie, like II thread OF
gold;
And the life bore truit-a hun red fold.
Only n word-but twas spoken In love,
Win a whispered PRAYER to the Lord above
And the angels in heaven rejoiced ones

Sioux City Journal: DR.. G. A. Cowgirl
Of Florida, whose name was prominently
before the people of the country during tie
last presidential canvass, he being a member
Of the returning board for that state, was
recently rendered the United States mar
shalship of Dakota, made vacant by the
resignation of J.. FL Burdick. He is a
cousin of I. G. Cowgirl of this city, and in a
letter to the latter states that he should not
accept the position which was rendered him
without solicitation-in fact he would not
take the place, no matter what it might be
worth. DR.. Cowgirl is a gentleman Of the
highest character, served with distintion in
the Union army during the rebellion, and
has been a resident Of Florida ever since
the close of the war, though he is now
temporarily absent at his old home in
Dover, N. j.
An official telegram received last night
by Chief Justice Shannon contains informa-
ton that one Capt. Raymond has been APP
pointed United States marshal for Dakota.
No n in this part of the world knows who
Capt, Raymond is, or where he halls from.

THE PIERRE ROUTE AGAIN.

The postmaster general writes that he is
Officially informed that there is no necessi-
ty for mail service on the route from Pierre
to the Hills" The source of his informa-
ton, though perhaps official, was of the
most unreliable nature. 1t came from the
postmaster at Deadwood and the special
agent, Williams, appointed from Minnesota.
The former is a pet of Senator Hitchcock
and is sold out body and soul to the interests
Of the Nebraska ring. Besides, he never
he's achieved a reputation for honesty or
t%ruthfulness. The latter is the pet of Sena-
tor Windon, and belongs exclusively to the
North Pacific interests. These two men are
stIetly loyal to the lines which seek to head
off all Hills travel by the Missouri river
ronte. Upon their report the postmaster
general decided not to continue service over
the Pierre route. Their report was that not
over five letters went in any one mail from
Pierre to the Hills. On the other hand the
mailing clerk in the Yankton postofice
makes affidavit that not less than FIVE hun
dred letters were sent out ~ each mail over
that route, and to this can be added the not
uncomfortable numbers of letters sent from
towns and posts between here and Pierre.
If it is official reports the postmaster general
requires he has enough Of that sort from
Governor Pennington who has gathered
up all the information within
reach and forwarded it to the
department, and has written letter after let
ter, in his official capacity, portraying the
magnitude of the ofense which the gener-
al government is perpetrating upon q peo-
pie who have no extensive railroad corpo.
rations to back up their efforts to obtain
justice. If corruption is to prevail against
the interests Of the people Of Southern Da-
kota, then we shall begin to think that this
much Wanted purity of administration un.
der the reform policy is a s!upendous fraud,
If not in its conception, in the results
which come out of it.

Bism arck Tribune The Yankton Stage
company has been seized by the sheriff. We
are sorry for the stock holders. They
should have selected a better route to the
Hills.
There are no stockholders to be sorry for,
as the line was operated by one man. The
Hills had nothing to do with the failure.
This line has been in operation for the past
seventeen years, during which time it has
paid well enough under a reasonable mail
compensation. But the contractors, at the
last letting, three years ago, were unwise
enough to take the mail contract for about
one-third the cost of performing the service.
Another firm now has the line, are running
regularly and are receiving fair compensa-
ton for the transportation of mails.

reinforcements of the Malta garrison by the
second battalions of the I'd and 18th regl
ments. Each consists of about 5000. A
correspondent of the Times at Portsmouth,
t~elegraphing on Sunday night, says: Al
though Malta is mentioned as The destina-
ton of troops, Gallipoli is still believed to
be the point aimed at. 1t is known that
Col. Edwards, of the royal engineers,
was sent there a few weeks ago
on a secret mission, the object of
which it is stated was TO report as to the
depth of the water, of its approaches and
the capabilities of the town for defence. The
Times, in a leading article, while hoping the
government will be able to give assurances
in parliament to-day that there is no present
necessity of sending troops further than
Malta, is evidently prepared to hear of more
decided action. But the writer thinks the
government could be justified in the occupa
lion of Gallipoli by nothing but an over
whelming necessity.
