contractor, can do it. The building will
be two story and in the shape of cross.
The lower floor is to be divided into five
departments, 24x32 and 24y39,
to be used respectively as parlor, reception
room, and school rooms. The upper
story will also be used partly for education

In various parts of the Union the news
papers are discussing the subject OF the
early closing of business houses during the
dull summer months. Many strong reasons
are given for such course, among them one
that should have some weight with the PEG.

Among all the great speeches which
were made by the leaders of the Republi-
can party at Chicago, THE BULLETIN is in
clined to reckon that of Mr.. Flanagan, of
Texas, as entitled to the highest praise.
Mr.. Flannagans succiDt and comprehen-

great Republican party, has never, we be-

Indeed, we cannot help but think that the
convention ought there and then to
