CADY'S FALLS.

President Arthur has vetoed the anti
Chinese bill. but, nevertheless, there are
Nongrels mean enough to slur men for
their nationality, as the following bril-
liant item from the Argus and Patriot, I'M
der the caption of Cady's Fails FancieS,
will show: The Brench population is
rapidly increasing at South Hyde Park,
and in connection with this, our cores
pendent is reminded of the old maxim.
1T takes nine millers to make man, and
it needs only four more at the mill to
make out the number" The above was
evidently designed as a direct insult to
Mr.. Manning, on some personal pique be-
cause he has the manhood and indepen-
dence to employ what help he pleases.
But one family have moved into this vii
lagc, Mr.. Leo. Muzzy, very respectable
man. and an experienced tanner, reared
i'm this town, by honest, industrious par
ents. 1t is hoped Mr.. Lemair, our eXcell-
ent miller, will move his family here and
locate permanently, as we have found on
short acquaintance. that he is the right
man in the right place, and it needs no
further testimony than to peep into the
mill and observe the order and neatncss
within. And furthermore, his customers
do say that he is an honest miller. The
more such men in the place the better.
We would willingly exchange score OF
mean Yankees for a few good, likely
Vrenchmen. Again we resent the insult
of calling us South Hyde Park. We are
loyal citizens of Cady's Falls, and haye
no connection with Hyde Park by tele-
phone or otherwise,
