ALL ABOUT MAIIs.-Thc facts are
these: Baton Rouge is supposed to re-
ccive u mail every day of the week, cx.
ccpt Monday. OF late, the Gay comes
during the evening of Tuesday. On
Wednesday, tho Cannon comes to time,
before seven o'clock A. NJ. On Thurs
day, the Pagan arrives after night, fire.
oucntly too late to distribute the mail,
which lays over till Friday morning,
when tho White comes up. Thus, do
We get the two days mails at once. On
Saturday evening, the Gay comes again,
then on Sunday morning, the Natchcz
comes on time. To sum up, We get
three mails on time, two after business
hours on Tuesday and Saturday, and none
at all on Thursday. We don't want to
say ANYTHING rough about the matter
We would simply ask of those concerned

A BENEDICT AT LAsr.-Thc many
friends of Mr.. Walter II. Mcars, ono of
tho popular clerks of tho steamer Can
non, formerly resident of this city, will
be pleased to learn that he has lately
surrendered his heart and hand to one o.
the Crescent City's fair daughters. This
thing of bachelor getting it into his
head that he possesses steel clad heart
and can, with impunity, smile to the
brunette and then to the blonde has its
ending in the capture Of "tho bold sol
der boy." It's no use for us to try and
make him feel bad about it, because
he'd laugh at us. So that we will take
in the situation, and extend our old com.
panon and his better half our best
wishes for everlasting happiness, sur
rounded by all the comforts that render
life a heaven on earth.

Farmers done cutting wheat. though

won't hurt as there are weeds enough,
to hold it up till snow flies. Now say
that weeds amt worth something to
the farmer when he is in a great hurry.
Mr.. Grace is the owner of section is
in this town. He has about 25O acres
of wheat and so of oats, the best in the
town and harvested III good time. If
there is any wheat that will yield Is

the best granery in the west. 1t is GO
feet long and 40 wide. And the best
farm house in all this country. They
are threshing their oats and stacking at
the same time. He has 10 trouble to
get hands. He sends to St. Paul as he
wants them.
The Rock county farm finished cut

This is just as we expected and pre-

et.-St. Paul Globe.
Here is daily newspaper, speaking
for one of the great political parties of
the State, which does not know what
the Liberal League is. And we q"es-
ton whether there are half dozen edi-
tors of daily papers in the country who
have any intelligent notion of the pur-
poses or the extent of tho League, so
blinded are men by their partizan inter-
ests.
There are about two hundred Liberal
Leagues in the United States. Their
principal objects are to secure the COM
plete separation of church and State;
the secularization of the public schools;
the taxation of church property; the in
volatility of the mails and the repeal
of the infamous Comstock law; and. in
short, to establish in the United States
free thought, free speech and a free
press. To say that we enjoy this free
dom now is a lie Of the Republicans
and the churches. The Liberal League
proposes to do battle until this liberty
OK sts in fact as we'll as in theory.
At present, the Liberals are divided.
Some, like Col. Ingersoll, are pronounce
ed Republicans, while others, like D.
NJ. Bennett, who was the victim of the
''blood hound" Comstock, are actively
at work for the Democratic ticket.
Whichever party can satisfy the Lib
erals that its policy is best calculated
to secure full political, civil and relig-
ious liberty, will secure the bulk of the
Liberal League vote.

Harvest is still in progress. Most of
the grain is cut but only small portion
stacked. Work is stopped for the pres
ent on account Of rain. A large part of
the grain is unbound and lying on the
ground and if the rain should continue
long will be spoiled. Flax is rusting.
We hear that some pieces will not be
cut on this account. We think we shall

$500 IN THE AIR.

$b,5U IN 1HE AlH.
On the 10th of May, 1879, IA beautiful
Saturday afternoon) we happened to be
out on the lake, lin a boat of course)
with several of our ''neices.' Looking
southwark. and upward at an angle of
about SO degrees, we noticed something
in the sky. It was flash and a ribbon
of smoke or cloud. In few minutes a
loud report followed which was heard
over the country for several hundred
miles. That flying object was $4,000
aerolite, which fell in Emmett county,
Iowa. The Davenport Democrat, of re-
cent date says:
Mr.. Berge got possession of that stone,
and not long since he sold it to the Brit
ish museum for Sc 500; and there it is
to he placed in glass eand preserv-
ed as Il celestial wonder. Its weight
when shipped for London was 43l
pounds.
The Democrat further says:
Do you know what made the Emmett
county aerolite so valuable? It was un-
like any other we'll authenticated rock
from heaven that ever fell upon earth.
1t was composed of earth, triolite, iron,
nickel, cobalt, phosphorus. copper, sui
phur lead. silver, gold, silica, magne-
sia, alumni, soda, lithia, and potassium,
all distinct, yet all together like the
particles of a granite block. And when
the agent OF the British museum found
this out, he just captured that stone as
quick as he could.
Thousands of little pieces have been
gathered up and are in the hands of the
people. Specimens of this remarkable
aerolite ought to be sent to Prof. Den
ton, who, it seems, can get more out of
meteoric stone than any other living
man. One of these little specimens may
be made to tell the history of the planet
from which it came, very much as Gu
vier used to get out of a single bone the
structure of the whole animal.
