Bad for Steamship Subsidies.

John Roach and his long tail of Republic
can and Democratic lobbyists, including
the jobbing "organs," met with an unex-
pected defeat on the Post Office bill. They
had arranged everything nicely. Their
plans were well laid. They only asked two
and half millions year, for transporting
the ocean mails, and they had enlisted a
considerable backing. Wood-Pulp Miller
OF this State was fifty chosen to engineer
the project. He is a member of the Post
Office Committee, and his worthy associates
had agreed to allow him to report John
Roach's scheme, as an amendment to the
Appropriation bill. The forces were all
well drilled, and surprise was intended
in the last hours of the discussion.-New

A HORRIBLE DEATH AT HOLGATE.
A Drunken Rough Burns Himself to
Death.

On the night Of the 10th Coroner Cloud
received word that his services were
needed at Holgate, over the remains of
one Mccullough, who was burned to
death. The particulars OF the horrible af-
fair are as follows: Jas. Mccullough, a
drunkard and rough citizen generally,
got on spree on Wednesday last and was
locked up in the cooler to sober off. Af-
ter his arrest, and while being taken to
the lookup, he made threats to burn the
building. He was searched twice, and it
was supposed all matches were taken from
him, but it seems that he had others in
his clothing. He fired the bunk and lay
down in it. Smoke was noticed pouring
from the windows and an alarm was given.
The door was opened and his body was
found burned to a crisp in what remained
of the bunk. The fire was extinguished
before the building itself was much dam
aged. Coroner Cloud held an inquest and
a verdict was rendered that the unfortu-
nate man came to his death by his own
hands,

Hunt ,em Up.

This is splendid time for those who are
in town, or are coming to town to look up
their Holiday presents, while all the
stocks are full and everything nice and
new. 1t is good time to see who has the
best and incest goods and who is selling
the cheapest. We believe that Saur has
opened out the largest, finest and best stock
OF Holiday goods ever placed on sale in the
town of Napoleon. Any attempt at enum-
Grating articles or describing them would
be failure; we therefore urge all of our
readers TO step in at this house. and see
for themselves, they can see more in five
minutes than we could tell them in week,
even though they may not wish to buy.
Saur takes great pleasure in showing his
goods and pricing the same to all who fa-
vor him with call. Remember this is
The time to buy books cheap.

Anropos of Mr., Carlisle's candidacy TO

Apropos of Mr.. Carlisle's candidacy for
Speaker it may be said that Kentucky has
had the Speakership oftener than any 9th
er State; so that, while Virginia is known
as the Mother of Presidents" Kentucky
is emphatically the Mother of Speakers, I"
their united terms covering sixteen years,
Whenever the possibility of Mr.. Carlisle's
succession to the Speakership is discussed,
his wife's fitness for her share of the duties
of the position is as warmly commended.
Tall, finely-formed. and with most win.
ming expression, Mrs. Carlisle, who al
ways dresses in faultless taste, has been
considered one of the handsomest ladies
of Washington ever since she accompan-
led her husband here on his first entering
Congress five years ago.
