JUDGE LAWRENCE, who was a member of
the Louisiana commission, is reported in
Chicago as denounciDg the indictment of
Wells, Anderson and other members of the
Louisiana returning board as gross viola
tion of distinct understanding with the
Nichols government that there should be no
political prosecutions. If any engagements
were entered into when the Nichols govern
ment was established, whatever they may
have been, it is undoubtedly for the interest
of the President to be relieved of the obliga.
tion to perform them.

THE first embarrassment experienced by
the War department in consequence of the
failure of Congress to make an appropriation
for the army occurred during the past week.
The second regiment Of infantry, stationed
at Atlanta, Ga, was ordered over ten days
ago to the Pacific coast to join General
Howard for service in fighting the Indians.
On Friday, General Mcdowell, in despatch
to the Secretary of War from San Francisco
said: SIN some way unaccountable to me,
the second infantry ordered here week ago
has not started" 1t is now ascertained that
fact that the railroads leading out of Allan
ia refused to transport them for the reason
that there was no certainty that they would
ever get their pay. The railroad officials
demanded cash down for the service, and, as
Congress had failed to appropriate any
money for the army after the first OF July,
the demand could not be complied with.
While there were urgent reasons for hasten
ing the troops to General Howard, they had
to remain at Atlanta for several days while
negotiations were carried on between the
Secretary OF War and the railr Dad officials.
Finally the latter agreed to accept promises
to pay, and the troops were started on
Friday last, after nearly weeks delay. Ii
these troops fail to reach the scene of the
Indian hostilites in time to save the lives Of
many of their comrades, the country must
lay the blame at the doors of the Democratic
House of Representatives.

GENERAL WooDFoBD, of New York,
delivered an excellent address few days ago
before the literary societies of the University
of Mississippi, at Oxford. He was con-
strained, of course, by 1.-THE courtesies of the
occasion to speak in generalities without
naming names, but he used entire plainness
of speech and said many things which it
ought to be good for Missssippians to hear.
The three needs of the Republic, general
education, respect for law and federation or
the practical recognition by all of the rights
of each were forcibly and eloquently pre-
sented, and it is encouraging to hear that the
address was well received. There is nothing
equivocal iu the application of the remark
that "the disregard of the law and its force
full, open, deliberate and unrunlshed violation
is brutalizing to the community in which it
occurs land very demoralizing in its general
effect. Thoughtful monarchists and dis
believers in popular government may well
ask whether the aristocratic system that

Effect of Advertising on Trade.

1t has become a necessity with most people who
trade to get their moneys worth Every cent
counts, and "a penny saved is a penny earned
Business men find this out when it comes to deal
ing with them and thus they find it necessary to
offer every inducement to secure a fair share of
trade. People at large, too have come to look in
the papers to find where they can get what they
want and get it cheapest. 1t is owing to this
more than anything else that the men who adver-
tise find it pays, and that their business is much
heavier than that of non-advertising competitors,
who may carry as much and as good stock, but
who take no pains to inform the people of it
The cheapest place to advertise is in local pa
per which goes into the families which the adver-
tiser wishes to reach. Four-fifths of the money
put into simply advertising sheets, which are
thrown into shops one hour, to be used as waste
paper the next, is money thrown away

CIRCULAR SAWS
Made Without Hammerins

The 'SIMONDS" saws are Strengthened BY
means of heat and pressure, and a0ithO1t hammer.
ing, and are warranted superior to hammered saws
for the following reasons
The success of the process requiring a uniform
heat insures a perfectly uniform temper, and he,
file and set in more satisfactory manner.
Being free from uneven strain or buckle, they
stand up to their l0OTk better.
As the steel is left in n natural condition by this
process the saws retain their original shape posi-
lion, as they reduced IN size, thus avoiding the
necessity of re-hammering.
Being made of a higher quality of steel than it
is practical to by the old method, they hold
edge better.
Large circular mill can be run at any rea-
sonable speed with equally good results-saws 50
inches in diameter having been tested from 400 to
1850 turns a minute, with perfect sati- faction
while hammered saws must be hammered differ
emily for different speeds.
The "SIAONDSf saws received at the Centen-
NAL, medal, diploma, and the following report of
the Board of Judges
Circular Saws of beautiful finish and form, and
originality in the method of MANUFACTURE"
A trial of the ''SIAIONDS' saws will satisfy any
mill man that he cannot afford to use hammered
saws.

BILE moods and graces that are the soul
of home happiness. The sort of men
who display all their suavity and polite
ness on the street or at their business
places, and save the storms, and sulks,
and sourness, and all the evil brood of
devilish dispositions that they charac
terize by the convenient euphemism of
''moods," well, we have our opinion of
them land if they will come within
range we dou't mind expressing it
privately but are afraid it wouldn't
look well in print The whole tribe of
home tyrants men who make the en-
tire household revOlve around them as
the centre; whose tongues are chroni
cally 'ffurredn in the morning, and
nerves so upset in the evening that the
family must keep silence while they
read and smoke; who ''can't bear" the
noise of innocent and natural mirthful-
ness who have to be toadied and tend
ed and humored-they ought all of them
to be doomed to pass their days in
shabby genteel boarding houses, with
out sight of wife or children-with hash
for breakfast, warmed-over pancakes
for lunch, and lean mackeral and cen
tennial hens for supper, with the ledger
overhead always learning the trombone,
and servant girls that steal the hair oil.
They don't deserve a home, and no
man does, who will do nothing to make
it. For mans rights do not include the
right to all the comforts of home
without any of the work, or worry, or
self-sacrifice, or thoughtfulness and
well-doing incident to it's creation and
maintenance. A good many men think
they have done their full duty if they
pay the bills more or less grudgingly.
But one might as well try to warm a
room with fireplace and pair of
silver-plated andirOns, and no fuel or
fire, as to make a home with money.
The money simply makes place for
the home; to complete it the man must
put in himself, and the best part of
himself at that.-GOlden RuLe.
