he had occasion to mention his daughters name.
At this the child's mother took from her finger
ring, handed it to the physician, and asked him it
his daughter had recently lost ring Tor the ring
contained the name he had Just pronounced. The
physician said she had not but that some years
ago she lost diamond ring, and as his eyes fell
upon the sparkling object, he recognized his daugh

had found it in the bottom of a horses foot only

When a Northern man and out

in any part Of the North, the natural
advantages Of the South will assert
themselves and we shall see q steady

rection. Rising Sun (lnd.) Recorder.
In reply to the above, the Lake
Providence Herald truthfully says:
awe would assure our contemporary
that % Northern man, be he Republi-
can or Democrat, can express his SEN
timents in this State, on any topic,
with as much freedom, as he can in
the State Of Indiana, and We submit
that it is unkind ON The parto North
crn Republican journals to be contin-
ualiy making such false charges. Our
people have long since forgotten the
reign of carpet-baggers that almost
bankrupted many OF the Southern
States, and since their displacement
with honest and trusted men in
charge, the States once more on the
road to prosperity, no mans rights
are in the leastabridged. The North
ern man is received with that warm
and cordial welcome that has ever
characterized this people. That the
natural advantages of the South will
assert themselves is only a question
of time, when hundreds of thousands
OF the yoemanry of the far West will
turn their face to the Sunny South.
They will be welcome.

East st. Louis, regarding danger fIom

erty from the yards on the island and
some decline to receive any more

come SO weak that they are no long

CUTTING OFF STEAMBOAT MAIL
SERVICE.

The following is an extract from
the National Republican, of Washing
ton, ID. c., in it's issue of the 2Sth ult.:
To the Editor of the Republican;
A casual visitor at the Post Office De-
partment yesterday, heard Postmaster
General Woodward, nee James, discuss
the subject of the steamboat mail SER
vice in the South and West, where
steamboats, are the only means of rapid
transit. The substance Of Postmaster
General Woodward's observations were
to the effect that the steamboat mail SER
vice to accommodate the people who de-
pended upon steamboat transit for their
mail facilities was greater than the re
ceipts would Justify; and he remarked
"wen must cut this business short of.
Postmaster General Woodward, nee
james, spreads himself over good deal
Of territory just at this moment, but he
spreads very thin. 1t is not unlikely
that this little detective, if he isn't
promptly curbed, will soon wake up an
irrepressible storm among the people of
the great Sonth and West, who have
the same right to receive their mails by
rapid transit, or steamboats, or cxpedit-
ed star routes, as the Connecticut peo-
pie have to receive theirs by fast.mail
railroad trains. Postmaster-General
Woodward, nee James, is entirely too
fresh to last CELEBRITY.
We hope CELEBRITY heard wrong.
when he understood the Postmaster
General to say that the steamboat
mail service should be discontinued
10 the South and West.
If such a thing was done in this
part of the country, we would at once
become wise, in blissful ignorance of
the happenings in the outside world.
To cray6sh back to the old-time stage
coach, might be very great step to-
wards economy, but it would certain
" be giving "us Rebels" the. hot end
ofthe poker. Mail facilities are about

contains the following sensible state
ment: There is quite q demand all
over the country for cotton seed. A
number of farmers are unable TO pro-
cure sufficient seed to plant. This is
doubtless blessing in disguise, as it
will be the means of decreasing the
acreage planted i'll cotton and give
the farmer more time to devote to
raising grain The more cotton you
plant the poorer you will get. Stick
to planting cotton, neglect your corn,
oats, peas, etc, and see what the re-
suit will be-.

THE DENVER SHORT LIME.
The Projected AIR Line Between
Denver and New Orleans.

DGMtCg Sbsss Nv" ~ssNssssrs
About four months since, a rail-
road and transportation company was
organized In Denver, Col, by a party
Of Eastern and Southern capitalists,
under the name Of the Denver and
New Orleans Short Line Transports
ton Company. The stock in the
company was fixed at shares of $1,000
each, with capital of $4,000, 900.
The object was to establish between
Denver and this city a direct line,
which viii bring the two cities to-
gether, thereby lessening transporta-
ton time at least one day a half.
1t is learned thai already over foar
hundred miles of track has been
completed. The work viii be pushed
as rapidly as possible, SO that within
u year New Orleans will see herself
the terminus Of what promises to be
one fthe finest roads in the country.
A delegation will soon arrive in
the city from New York, who will
have full power to act for the new
road. The gentlemen composing
this delegation are all prominent rail-
road men, and most of them have had
occasion to visit the city OH one or
two previous occasions. It is under
