postoffice or crossr Dads? This shows how
monarchial system Of government crush
es the better element out Of mans nature.

Major Marcus A. Reno, a distinguished
and gallant officer, but one who has bad the
misfortune to get into number Of dlscred-
liable scfapes, was found guilty by the
court martial recently and dismissed from

Sunset has been dropped and Mr.. Cox is
known only as "Little Buttercup."

the Little Pen d'0reille river In 1859 was
undoubtedly the first white woman in Mon

named Tom Brown. She is yet living In
Colville Valley. Another woman named
Miller, and another Mrs. Mary Lowry, we're

Grant has gone to the cave of Bella
mar, Cuba. II 10 about time he was hunt
ing his hole
Ho made sufficiently large holes in the
rebellion and in the Democratic party to
satisfy any ordinary man. II he had exer-
cised good judgment in hunting great
"caves I" we admit he would have gone to
