LIVE STOCK

The demand in this city for all kinds of
butchenng stock continues active. This
good weather will probably bring with it a
more liberal supply of both cattle and
sheep. Hogs are also scarce and the pens
almost bare, and what do arrive are not in
ms good condition as in former years.
Prices steady and firm.

The indictment for murder was
then taken up and the same waiver
and plea were made.
The court then asked counsel
when they would be ready to try

agreed upon as the date.
Gov. johnson next asked whether
the question of bail had been copsid-

not want to mako formal apllica-

like TO know how soon the proseeu-

suit OF the late elections. Pension
Commissioner Dudley is given to
posing as a reformer. Some OF his
"orders" are famous for their bonn
bastlc style, and excite a good deal,
of merriment about town. The
Commissioner Of tho Land Office
however, Is not open to any such
charge, bat probably 1t occurred TO
him that this IS a very good time to
turn over a couple OF new leaves. It
is a move by no means snperauous.
The way in which time is squander-
ed in the Government offices is won
derful. The halthour's intermission
for lunch is generally spent on the
street and tbs lunch time taken out
OF the Governments time. 1t is
against this abuse that the Land
Office circular is directed, as we'll as
the practice of virtually stopping
work half An hour before the office
is closed. The result of tho late
elections has been to cause sudd en-
spasm of virtue amoug the officials
aud an immediate cutting off OF
cakes and ales, but it won't last.
Now that the devil is sick he wants
to be u saint, but his illness will not
continde longer than a month or
two. A darkey official is one of the
most amusing sights in the world
the airs he gives himself, his i'm
mense importance, the grandlo-
queht manner in which he spreads
himself in his Office chair and sur
vcys his office desk are delicious to
the lover of joke.
