WHEN the Philadelphia Times speaks Of
Henry L. James as the late postmaster
general, it is to be presumed that its polit-
ical editor has gone off on 4 vacation or
else that unusually well-informcd individ-
ual has "for once - got his tricks mixed.
Our contemporary evidently rvfers TO the
James whose baptismal name is Thomas,
not Henry.
THE Reading Times says that Mr..
Chauncey F. Black, the Democratic call
didate for lieutenant governor, passes
moro than half of his time in New York,
when it is we'll known fact that he is de-
voted to his business pursuits in the
township of Springgarden, in the county
of York. in tho state of Pennsylvania, ard
lives there the year round. lie but rarely
even visits New York, and all his literary
work has been performed at his hom 10 on

THE question Of flags, growing out of
the presidents new bunting, is an absorb
ing one. Secretary Chandler declares now
that he knows next to nothing about the
new flag, and that it was not his business;
while the fact, accordingly to seemingly
authentic reports, is quite tho reverse.
What his reasons are for wishing to be
clear of it now is matter for Inference.
As matter of fact, no one now seems de-
sirous to accept the responsibility Of having
brought the flag into existence. This is
quite another feeling from what prevailed
on the subject all last week, when the
question seemed to be who should havo
the credit, and when Secretary Chandler
was apparently under the impression that
he was in some sorS sharing in q special
distinction when he issued the order cs-
tablishing tho new flag in the regulations
of the service over which he presides.
IMPORTANT changes are impending in
the administration of Castle Garden, il
Guiding the resignation of four Of the CON-
missioners. These officials, as is well
known, receive no salaries, but their posi-
ton is one of no little political Importance
The commissioners control the appoint
ment of . numerous staff of officers who
receive pay, besides which they have tho
management of the contracts for supplies
for the public institutions on Wards
island. The famous Barney Biglin"
(said to be a particular personal friend of
President Arthur), who has the contract
for tho transportation of immigrants
baggage, is one of their appointees, and

New York Ssxsy.fiye Years Ago

1t will be sixty five years next Fourth of
July since Dewitt Clinton broke ground for
the canal, and the progress which the city
has made since then is suggested by 8 cur
ious book of contemporary date. l refer to
''Blunt's picture of New York." published
IN 1917. From this learned that the popu-
lation of the city had then reached the sur
prisiDg number of 100000 New York con.
tanned at that time four daily newspapers,
the Mercantile Aduertiser, the National i'd
uocate, the Daily Adoertiser, and the Morn

vived until 1910. and can remember some
of its closing issues. The Staten Island
steam ferry made two trips per day-fare
four shillings while Brooklyn was reached
by steam ferry with four trips every hour
fare six cents. The fare to Philadelphia was
SIS so, and to Albany $8 by steamboat, and

FoRr AssINABo1nE, March 19, 1882.
Editors of the River Press :
One of the Celeslials, tired of life, passed
in his checks by hanging himself in one of
the cellars attached to the officers quarters.
Il is the general impression that the man was
deraDged, and that he was laboring under
the idea that someone was after him, trying
t., head him up, salt him down, and send
him back TO the celestial land. The body
will pass Though your city en- route for Hell
ena, and while at your city hope that you
will put it in the morgue and not in Jail, as
you usually do; for there is no danger what
soever that the man will make his escape
The prisoner sentenced to three years in
the military prison for entering an officers
house at night made his escape the other
day. Different parties are in pursuit.
The expedition which left the post March
9th, under command of Major Kline, Is
ordered 10 return and great preparations are
being made here for their reception. Prayers
will be offered by Hiuavonjerry, head scout
TIE Deum, that grand old chant, will be
rendered by the above named gentleman, as
sisted by his companions they will furnish
their own music with their native instru-
ments. Patriotic speeches will be made by
Count Won Knockemstiff and other half
freed gentlemen. Cannons will be fired, a
half dozen powder magazines will be blown
TO atoms millions OF dollars will be ex-
pended in henoring the conquering heroes
who are returning from the gore OF the
bloody battlefield l have no doubt but the
pages Of American history will record the
fame and the glory achieved in this great
and grand struggle. Invitations have been
sent to all the lending men of the country.
We expect Messrs. Big Bear, Little Sioux,
Barrakals, Sowapi,api,ika,, Ochkamachke,
Cicapiacuc and several others. Among the
ladies we expect Signorinos Maizekapoj an
meachece and Froeulainisipsemicda
Several of the leading Chieftaios are also in
yited to listen TO the roar of artillery. Should
your Benton champions return with our boys
the celebration will be postponed until after
they leave the post, for this demonstration is
intended for our heros only.
Before closing this highly interesting arti-
Gle permit me to state that if Uncle Sam ever
gets hold of the true state of affairs he will
very likely knock the wind out of your tax
collector in less than two rounds. That gen.
tleman would be known only thereafter as
the late and very much lamented. F, S.

Here's YoMr Oppnlasg!

General Brisbin writes to the Herald tha.
he is receiving daily letters of lnquiy COL

the Montana papers should keep u want col

various parties who have written him ia ref
erence to coming to Montana are five millin-
ers-female milllners who want 10 set up

the ladies have some style about them and
will indulge plentlfully in the various and
ever changing articles If head gear. Gen.
eral, please tell the girls, or two or three of
them, that there is just such an opening in
Benton. There is not milliner within $50
miles of us, and We are confident that 8 rat
ling business in that line could be done. In
deed, we are inclined to think that it would
beat your beef bonanza all hollow as an in
vestment Some time ago few of Bentons
young men offered to back an enterprise of
this kind, provided only that the mlliner was
young and handsome, but we are not inform
ed as to whether they have changed their
minds or not. We can find out further. AT
any rate there is an opening here for mil
liner and you shouldn't fail to direct the girls

BrOught TO Time.

A yeung man on street In Stubeuville,
with fez cap. fragile cane, and smoking
vile cigarette which awakened suspicion
in the minds of the neighbors that q dead
mule was in the immediate vicinity, stepped
of the side walk to allow lady to pass.
''Ihank you,' she said. ''Not at all, mad
am; assure you always give way to the
weaker SEX The lady slowed up when she
heard this, and came back to the young man.
''What did you observe, sir % 81 said
(smile forced) that always gave way to the

woman, grabbing him with firm hand by

you are off your reckoning" Here che gave
the young man dexterous flip which spun
him three times around, after which he fell
under fence, while his cane and fez cap
flew over into bed of last years hollyhocks.

Sage Advice to y Michigan windmill

A Michigan man who had patent wind

what b. could do among the farmers of that
State. Reaching town in the central part
of that State he went to dealer in agricul-

the machine and thus call attention to it.

tinues the custom he has observed through
his whole political life, of sitting down TO
the piano and accompanying himself on the
instrument in an old English or Scottish
ballad or two. Mr. Gladstone adds to his
many sided gifts as statesman. legislator, Or

general sympathizer. no small musical facul-

prolonged the sitting may be, Mrs. Gladstone

Publishing newspaper in st. Petersburg
is anything but play. If q journal has any
independence whatever. it Can not fail TO be
most of the time either under ''warning" or
suspension. The Goloe, for instance, has
just escaped from suspension OF six or
eight months, only to receive an admonition
and be deprived of the privilege of street
sales, and all because Of a single slip. This
was no less heinoas offense than pointing
out an obvious error in the Official Gazette
with regard to the term of military service.
This, at least, was the ostensible ground OF
the warning, but the real reason was the OF
fetal hatred of the journal on general princi-
pies. The Gozos is almost the only paper in
Russia which preserves 4 mind of its own
Apropos OF the Bkobeleff speech, the Russ
had an article not long ago violently attack
ing the Germans and calling for war against
them, Instead Of being suspended it was
only "warned'' privately by the censor, if il
even received that criticism. This leads
many to suppose that .Skobelefs opinions
are those of the Government, after all.

goingsthe roundsiof the newspapers con-
tanning about as much truth as you
usually put in nutshell:
ASK some men for an advertisement
and they will answer: II don't believe in
advertising. Nobody reads your paper"
But let the same man be caught kissing
his neigbor's wife, or trying to hold up .
street light. and his tone changes imme-
diately, and if newspaper Office is in q

climb to the top and beg the editor to
keep the affair out of the paper as all his
