GOVERNOR CULLoM has set apart the
3Oth instant as Decoration Day. Buta rev
days remain in which to make the needed
arrangements. Let the Mound Cityites,
who are on the ground, take the initiative at
once-appoint the necessary committees,
and not assume that everybody appointed
will act; but obtain an assurance OF the
fact, or keep on appointing until they re-
ceiye such an assurance. Half the persons
named as committeeman, last year, did
nothing at all. Especially is this true of
persons living outside of Mound City. 1t
would be well, therefore, except in the

New ORLEANS is giving much attention
to the theories OF disnfection. Boards Of
Health, and committees Of sanitarians meet
almost daily, and earnestly prate about
poisonous gases and putrifactiye matter,
of bacterals, vibrios, and other minute Or
ganisms. If they are as industrious in
practical work as they have been in evolv-

THE honest American citizen must view
with supreme disgust the contemplate re-
sorts OF Republican editors and orators to
widen the chasm between the North and
South by intensifying the hates of their re-
spective people. Even the Cincinnati Com

that it is an outrage upon freedom for the
federal government to peer over the rocks

and crevices of the mountains of Kentucky

Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Pekin and Peoria
rob the government Of hundreds Of thous-
ands of dollars, and are still held as noble

hod-cariers and stable-men of the country

GLORIOUS Republican administration" made
pretense of purpose to punish them,
and how that pretense ended is known to
everybody. The courts before which the cul-
prits were pulled, misunderstanding that the

dust in the eyes Of the people, inflicted the
penalty the law prescribed Here was

The President interposed and turned every
scoundrel loose, and set his minions at work

JOHN II. MULKEY FOR SUPREME
JUDGE.

Ex-Governor Palmer, in the Springfield
Register of the 18th instant, pays to Judge
Mulkey, the following high and well
deserved compliment AT convention
of Democrats Of the First judicial district,
held at Mt, Vernon on Thursday last, Hon
John H. Mulkey, of Alexander county, was
nominated for the Office of supreme Judge.
The convention was harmonious and con-
tanned many Of the ablest of the lawyers
anu laymen Of Southern Illinois.
Judge Mulkey, the nominee, is reputed
as one Of the best Of citizens, one of the
most estimable OF men, and one of the ablest
Of the lawyers Of the state. As citizen he
has always expressed well matured, if not
according to our way Of thinking, always
correct opinions on questions Of importance
to the people Of the republic, in the prin-
cipes Of which he has abiding confidence
and in all matters affecting thcgovernmen,
of his state or his local community, he
has constantly manifested patriotic inter
est. Conservative by disposition, he is Of
those who seek to restrain the bcadlong
speed OF the revolutionists seeking possible
good by plunging into positive evil, but he
recognizes facts and has sagacity to com
prehend their significance He believes
that government, like the individual, may
and should advance from one degree Of
excellence to higher one; that old brnci.

The Weather and the Barometer.

The old IDEA that there is any infallibie
connection between certain readings Of
the barometer and certain conditions OF
weather has long been entirely abandoned
and scarcely any one looks now ut the
lettering On the side Of the glass, but
merely notes its upward or downward
tendcncy-always a much surer guide
than tho indications 'Set FAIR" or ..Much
rain" which figure on all the od-tashion-
ed barometers. To show how utterly
false these arbitrary indi> atoms may be,
1t IS sufficient to mention that on the 9th
OF March, 1876, the barometer at Wick
marked only 2764 inches, or what on
the Old scales would have been some
point tar below very stormy, though in
reality there prevailed at the moment a
gentle northwest breeze: while at Liver
pool on January Gath of the same year
the mercury was as high as 30.1 inches,
or nearly at 'Sct fair" when at the par
ticular time very severe storm was
blowing from the southwest. In fact.
the whole secret Of weather forecastino
lies not in the absolute height Of the mer.
curry, but in the relationship which ex-
lsts between the area Of high and low
pressures, and a knowledge Of the winds
which they produce.

Peculiar Domestic Arrangements,

A family in one OF the suburbs of
Boston furnishes a fine illustration of
the manner in which modern divorce
laws have overthrown the old-iashioned
ideas concerning the sacredness of mar
riage. A dozen years ago q young man
and a young woman we're married.
Soon after they had a son, and for sew
eral years appeared to live together as
happily as their neighbours. But at
length the wife concluded that she was
tired of her husband, and, without any
opposition from him, obtained divorce.
OF course there.w was another man in, the
case, and to him she was soon after
married. The strange part of it is that,
after all this had happened, the man
went to board with his mother-in-law,
between whom and himself there was q
strong friendship. He is stilla boarder
in the same house in which his late
wife and her present husband are FREE
quent visitors, and he seems to be per-
fectly satisfied with the arrangement.

A Nlhilist's Awful Death.

On the northern shores of the Black
sea lies the beautiful city of Odessa,
celebrated as the chief grain-exportine
CITY Of the Russian empire. But in
this city there isa prison which is by
no means beautiful. To any person
unacquainted with the horrible sides of
mankind's character the following
would seem to be incredible. Ills told
by the Paris Steele, and is nnquestion-
ably true:
Ayoung Russian Nihilist, Mr.. SomoH,
had been fol-, a years time rincarcerated
IN that Odessa prison. The cell allotted
to him was so filled with filth of every
description that he was daily near SUI
location. When he could not stand the
filthy smell any longer he petitioned
the authorities in the case to have him
placed before the proper judges in the
matter and duly tried. This petition
maddened his ,jailer into downright
Russian frenzy, and his next order was,
Take that scoundrel, tie him to the
lashing-post and give him twenty-five
knout strikes" an 1.4f ~ Hf*s
d. The subordirates, as in duty bound,
obeyed the mandate. They took Somoff,
tied him to the terrible triangle, and
went SO notify the jailer that his pris-
oner was ready for the execution.
Somof, finding himself alone, and see
ing petroleum lamp burning above
him just within his reach-the tragedy
occurred in the evening-tried to grab
it. Impossible! And then what did
this young Nihilist do to save himself
from disgraceful punishment, unjustly
inflicted upon him? BE raised his face
to the lamp-chimney, caught it within
his mouth, tore it down, and let the
burning petroleum run down his body.
Nor did he utter 9 sound while his
clothes caught the flames and his body
began to SINCE. It was not till the
nauseating smell OF the burning flesh
began to penetrate the jail-rocms that
the fact of Somoff's suicide was discov-
cred. He still fingered twenty-four
hours, but amid the most horrible
pains did not utter a cry. His only
complaint was that, being perfectly
ready to stand trial and suffer. the laws
penalty, he had been subjected to an
unlawful and disgracetul punishment.

in the Scarborough Aquarium recently.

was suddenly seized by the leg (fortu-
nately be had sea-boots ON by the
largest of the octopods, which fastened
four of his tentacles round the leg of
the boot, and with the other four held
firmly on to the rocks forming the back
OF the tank. A struggle ensued, during
which the man found he could not dis
engage himself without killing tie ami

Of slipping his leg out, leaving the boot
in the water, and beating retreat.
The hungry octopus stuck to the boot
