ed, and the case was at once investigated
and Mr.. Branch honorably discharged. A
few days after he was attacked again, when
he was twice shot, although unarmed at the
time. He died on last Sunday night. His
body will be buried in the family buryng-

THAT BOY.

It is hard to believe that that
noisy boy, whose hands are al
ways on the most intimate terms
with all manner of grim and dirt
whose hair is never combed, save
on compulsion; whose clothing
samples everything it comes near
till it is a sight to behold;;' whose
hooting and yelling are constant
reminder of aboriginal memoirs,
and whose whistling is an aggre-
cation OF three steam bands and
a brace Of locomotives-it is hard
to believe he will ever become
transmogrified into the amiable
and tractful young gentleman so
particular in the fit Of his coat,
the shade of mis- kids and the
Immaculate whiteness Of his shirt
front, excruciatingly clean oi
person and so eminently proper
in word, act and deed. But he
will be. The answer to this eu'
igma is, calico.

The fact is not generally
known that the treasury depart
ment will transmit standard sill
yer dollars from the mint in mnl-
tiples of $500 and subsidiary sill
YER coin in multiples of $40, on
orders from the treasurer. Par
ties in any part Of the country
desiring these coins may send to
the nearest distributing Office
either legal tender or gold and
they will receive, free of express
charges, standard silver dollars
or subsidiary silver coin, as they
may desire. In this way the de-
mand which exists at tie west
and south for meaey of smaller
denominations than IS or $40
can be readily satisfied. The
mints at New Orleans, Philadel-
phia, Carson City and San Fran"
cisco are now coming $2,000,0o0
standard silver dollars per month
and the treasury is receiving
about $l.OO0,O00 per month OF
subsidiary silver coin. Tho last
report of the United States treas
urer showed that of the $780,
100000 coin in the treasury,
$73,O 100000 was silver, $44 1885,
3l5 standard dollars, and about
s14, 100000 of this in the New

No incompetent or dishonest
person should ever be entrusted
with it, or if appointed they
should be elected. The basis of
substantial practical civil service
reform must be established by
the people in filling the execu-
tive Offices. II they fix a high
standard of qualifications for Of
fee and sternly reject the COR
rupt and incompetent, the result
will be decisive in governing
the action of the servants whom
they entrust with the appointing
power. The war of the Union
was successfully closed more
than fifteen years ago. All classes
of our people must share alike
the blessings of the union, and
are equally concerned in its per-
petuity aud 10 the proper admin

are in q state Of profound peace.
Henceforth let it be our purpose
to cultivate sentiments Of friend
ship and no anlmosity against our
felloW-citizens,. Our material in
terests, varied and progressive,
demand our constant and united
efforts. A sedulous and serupn-
lous care Of public credit, to-
gether with wise and econimal
management of our government
tai expenditures, should be main.
tanned iE order that labor may
be lightly burdened, and that all
| persons may be protected IN their
own industry.
The time has come to enjoy
the substantial benefits of recon
ciliation. AS one people w
have common interests, let u
encourage the harmony and gen
eral rivalry among our own in

extend our commerce with for

prosperity and happiness OF ou
