Yocum, no provision being made for the
election of their successors before 1882.
In proposing this amendment our legisla-
tors seem to have overlooked the Office Of
county school superintendent, whose term
expires next year and under the present
law an election will have to be held to fill
that office then.
Whilst Grant is living off his sons re-
lations, and driving Dick Swiveler, one Of
the fast nags Of New York, over the Jerome
track, his friends are trying to find HIM
situation and struggling for an immense
sum to aid him in amusing himself during
the balance Of his days. The latest move
is to billet him as manager of the southern
consolidated railroads. 1t is not important
that he should know anything Of the work
he is asked to perform; he is to be paid for
the use of his name. Let something be
done for this great beggar and give the
country rest.
The following from the st. Louis Re-
publican of Friday is of considerable i'm
portance to our citizens "There is pro-
ject on foot amongst capitalists here for
the construction of a narow.gauge railroad
from Birds Point, Mo-, opposite Cairo, down
along the west bank Of the Mississippi river
and at sufficient distance from the
river not to interfere with the steamboat IN
terest, and striking across from point in
Arkansas to connect with Paramore's mar
row gauge road, to Waco, Texas. This
road will be a connection of the Cairo and
St. Louis narrow gauge railroad and will
| ultimately be extended to the city of
Mexico, thus forming grand trunk narrow
gauge road"
Christopher Columbus gentleman of
hallowed memory in historical circles, is to
have monument. A dispatch from Santo

Congress has passed decree that, consid.
ering the proofs sufficient that the remains
found in the Cathedral on September 10,
1871 are the remains of Christopher Col
umbus, monument to enshrlne them shall
be erected at the capital" The govern
ment of Santo Domingo contributes
$40, 900 for this purpose, and calls upon all
American governments for assistance. The
monument to the celebrated Christopher
Off the remains discovered are really hiss is
rather late, but then it may last all the
longer for that.

Miss Margaret Jones will act as brides
maid, and Mr. David Barry will act as
brides groom at the wedding OF Mr..
Malachi Cullinan and Miss Mary Calvin,
IN st. Joseph's church, to-day. 1t is softly,
very softly whispered by City Clerk Foley
and other confidential and truth
full friends of Mr.. Barry that that
gentleman's object in serving in the capacity
aforesaid is, to become thoroughly &C
quain.ed with the questions asked during
the marriage ceremony, in order that he
may be enabled to answer them correctly
himself in the near future. This is COM
mendable, and THE BULLETIN, although
little early in doing so, wishes Mr.. Barry
muchjoy and entertalns the hope that Mr..
Foley, too, will repent of his present way
at an early day and consent to work in the
double harness.
The amendment to the constitution of
the state, adopted at the late election, per
mits the county clerk and county Judge to
hold their offices until lSS2-whcn the re-
gular election will occur-but does not
mention the Office of county superintendent
of schools, and hence an election for that
Office will be held at the usual
time We desire to say, IN this
connection, that Mrs. P. A. Taylor has filled
that Office in this county very acceptably
indeed, and that she should be prevailed
upon to again make the race at the ensu-
ing election. She is competent, active and
earnest in the discharge of her duties, and
has given no room whatever for complaint
