The City Election.

will be called on to exercise
the election franchise in favor of
some person to perform the duties
OF the office Of Mayor and the other
| offices enumerated in the charter of
the city, to be elected on the first
Tuesday in April to occupy the Of
fees therein designated for the term
of one year and some for the term
of two years.
1t Is not unfrequently that we
hear on the street and in the office
some citizen remark in a casual or
caustlc way that we do not elect the
best men TO fill our Offices, or that
they are filled by persons incompe-
tent to perform the respective du-
ties attached to such Offices, or that
our money raised by taxation for
the city is toolishly expended, or
that the ordinances are not enforced.
or that the sidewalks are in a dan
gerous condition.
Who are to blame for these evils !?
and what is the remedy !
1t surely is not the fault of per-
!
sons outside the city Of Mineral
Point. When the Legislature gives
to Mineral Point municipal govern
ment in conformity with the general
idea of American institutions it per-
forms its whole duty. All further
responsibility is on the people of
Mineral Point city themselves.
If they culpaby neglect their own
aiiaire, ii they will not give to their
own political affairs the same atteu-
ton which the rest Of the people il
their several localities are in The
habit of giving, they must suffer the
consequences.
In about two weeks the primaries
will be held, and if ali good and true
citizens will attend, the best and
most competent men, those who are
best fitted by education or business
qualifications, will be nominated to
fill the offices. So long as the re-
sponsiblo citizen remains silent and
absent from the caucusses they will
be controlled by caucus packers,
and the vicious men as absolutely as
the Southern States are by the fire.

A Losing Business.

A city paper says that none of the passenger lines of steamers plying be- tween New York and Europe are making any money, and indeed that since the prostration of the steerage passenger business they have been doing losing business. One great cause of this is the numberless freight lines that have started. The competing freight steam CTS are built at fraction of the cost of the crack vessels. It costs much less to insure and keep them in order. They can steam for days on the coal consumed in one day by White Star steamer. With crew of thirty men all told, while the passenger steamers carry from 15O to 200, their victualing bills are comparatively nothing. No canvas is blown away. There is little wear and tear, and no pier rent to pay. Office rents are unknown. There are no small armies of clerks, no commissions to brokers, no carriage, neither advertising nor printing, and no extras to Custom House officials. Such a line will live while line of crack steamers would starve. Nearly all the railroads have their connecting freight lines, and the old passenger steamers have to go light or take freight at rate that does not pay them for handling it. Several of the lines have sold number of their steamers to be changed over for freight boats, and altogether the future is not promising for those who have invested large sums of money in ocean passenger steamers.

Another One of Them.

When the late Caleb Cushing was first elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives he came in as young, cultured and ambitious lawyer, eager to exhibit his abilities upon the floor of the house. There was in that body an old farmer by the name of Emmons rep resenting the town of Hinsdale. He was Whig like MT. Cushing, but un- like him was uncultured and good deal of an oddity. He had been in the house several years, however, and had got in the habit of debating in a dogmatic and dry way. Members generally were rather disposed to defer to his quaintness. Caleb Cushing saw chiefly his uncouth qualities, and seized upon them as an object on which to exhibit his wit.
 ,One day he began an attack upon the old gentleman, whom he ela5orately ridiculed. Emmons listened in indig- nant amazement while he was undergo ing this experience. He was observed to be restive, but kept his seat until Cushing had got through. Then the sturdy veteran rose, and walked straight over to the seat of MT. Gushing. The members stared at this unwonted exhi- tion. and were anticipating a personal attack, when Emmons paused in front of his antagonist, extended his hand, shook it in the face of Cushing, and calculated "What do you mean, young man, by abusing me in this way If you don't look out, we won't have you here, speaking your pieces!' This was all, but the last three words were de livered with an air of such ineffable con tempt, and were 50 palpable hit upor MT. Cushing's style, that the house roared, and the triumph was altogether with the bucolic champion.

How it was Done.

Not long ago, says New York paper, one of the bellies of society accepted the matrimonial proposition of worthy young gentleman, and was asked by him to name the happy day. She consulted her parents-who had previously given their consent to the match-and fam fly council was held. The decision reached was curious, as well as char acteristic of our country and age. The father and mother agreed that the social position of their daughter required a grand wedding. The father, however, announced that misfortunes in business had brought him to the verge of bank ruptcy that he was, in fact, preparing to make an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. To this the mother re- piled that the grand wedding being of primary importance, it must of course take precedence of the assignment, for pecuniary reasons easily understood. And it was so ordered. The marriage occurred amid blaze of glory, duly chronicled in the newspapers, and few days afterward MT. Smiths paper went to protest, and his creditors took posses sion of his limited assets.
 Not long ago fond husband informed his loving wife that his financial affairs were in that condition which indicates a speedy and disastrous collapse. The wife said little, but thought much. The result of her meditation was that the next day she went down town and bought seal-skin sacque and set of diamonds. She told female neighbor, who knew of the impending calamity, that the sacque and diamonds "would last her lifetime; that if she did not get them now she never would, and so she got them" The collapse came in due season, and it is hardly necessary to remark that the furrier and jeweler are whistling for their money.

The First Advertising.

John Houghton was the first news paper publisher who made success of advertising. This was in 1892. Instead of allowing his advertisers to speak for themselves, he published their wants in this droll fashion;
 "I want housekeeper rarely we'll accomplished for that purpose. 'Tis to wait on gentleman.
 "I know of valuable estates to 1e sold.
 1T want several apprentices for val uable tradesman.
 "I know of several curious women that would wait on ladies to be house. keeper.
 "Now I want good usher's place i1 a grammar school.
 Experience doubtless taught MT Houghton that unreserved commenda tion of his promiscuous customers wal likely to get him into scrapes, so he qualities some of his notices as follows

How Roquefort Cheese is Made.

In an address on Dairy Interests Abroad" MT. F. B. Thurber gave the following account of the manufacture of this variety of cheese "The French Roquefort is made from the milk of sheep and goats, principally from that of the former. In 1866 two hundred and fifty thousand out of flock of four hundred thousand supplied the milk for 7,15O,O00 lbs. of cheese. The fertile pasturage of these animals is an i'm mense plain, eight or ten leagues across. In the evening, after the return of the sheep from the pastures, they are al- lowed to rest for an hour before being milked, after which they will yield the milk more readily, and are milked as rapidly as possible. From May to the middle of July the yield of milk is the largest, and each animal gives nearly a pint.
 The Larzac breed of sheep, from the milk of which the cheese is made, have large udders, made so by beating them with the hand as soon as the milk ceases to flow. The evenings milk is heated almost to boiling and set aside. In the morning it is skinned, heated to 9e degrees, and mixed with the morning $ milk for coagulation. After the curd has been divided by stirring with pad. dle and the whey drawn of, it is kneaded with the hands and pressed in layers into moulds with perforated bottoms, and usually, 8 thin layer of mouldy bread made of summer and winter barley, sour dough aud vinegar, is put between the layers of curd to hasten the ripen ing of the cheese by supplying the germs of the green mould peculiar te cheese. The curd remains under pres sure for three or four days, after whicl the cheeses are wrapped in linen and put to dry. After drying for three ol four days they are taken to the village of Roquefort, where the ripeniug is com pleted jp . peculiar manner,

Country Negro Versus Town Negro.

The Atldnto Consultation says that an eternal warfare seems to rage between the country negro and the town darkey. This was illustrated at a passenger depot in the town. A colored youth from Pike County approached town negro, and the following conversation ensued:
 "Whar bouts is de ticket office ?"
 Right dar 'fo yo' eyes"
 "Fo' whose eyes?"
 "Yone."
 els you de ticket office ?"
 "Look yer, nigger, don't you gimme none yo' slack"
 "I'm 8 mighty slack man, old man, wen I gets stirred up."
 "An' you'll git stirred up ef you stan roun' yer foolin' longer me-"
 "Dat's de kinder excise wat I'm pinin' fer"
 And with that they clinched and had g right lively tuss!e. They were sepa- rated, however, before a policeman came along, md the Pike County dar. key found the ticket office. The town negro, it may be we'll to mention, was badly used up.
