IT has become a very general
query, why are the lamps set out in
front Of the Opera House not lit up
at night when entertainments are
held therep Where's the sense in
going to the expense of putting up
the lamps and not bring them into
use? People making their exit from
the we'll lighted room into the dark
ness of night are almost blinded,
and have to advance cautiously feel
ing with each step to avoid falling
down the unmerciful aud relentless
stone steps. The proper authorities
should attend to this.

A SUaGKsTIoN.-If the Republi-
can Congressional convention is not
held until about the middle of Sep
tember, as now seems probable, why
would it not be well to nominate
county officers and assemblymen at
the same time delegates for Iowa
county are chosen to the Congress
sional Convention? 1t seems to us
that such course would be a conven-
ience to the people-saving them
the time, expense and annoyance of
one set Of caucuses and one County
convention. Discussion of the mat
ter in our columns is invited.

the war. After they had transacted their
general business, and the committee
were making their way to the door-he
was standing in the other part of the
room-one of the gentlemen, who pre-.
sumed on his acquaintance with Mr..
Lincoln to ask particularly searching
questions, stepped up to him, and in the
lowest tone of voice said "Mr. President,
[ would like to know where Burnside
feet is going" Burnside had Just sailed
with a feet, but the destination was un,
known. "Well," said Mr.. Lincoln, in a

like to know" "Yes," he said he would.
"Well," now" said Mr.. Lincoln, eff !

some one else" "No," said he, 81 would

Careless With Money.

My friend, says a correspondent of the
Boston G1zete, was the paymaster of a
large railroad company, and one day he
went out with $4,000 to pay tho rnen.
Tho money was wrapped up in an old
newspaper, and he carried it under his
arm. He stopped at a way-side hosiery
for dinner, and left the money on 4 chair
when he went out. He had not got many
miles from the place when he missed it.
He flew back and asked the woman if
she had seen q parcel2 There's n bit of
newspaper on the chair beyont," said
she; perhaps that's it !" which it proved
to be, and my friend returned n happier
and a wiser man. Another circumstances:
A man l know of lost a roll of bills
amounting to $4,000. They also, were
tied up in a newspaper. He told a friend,
and the two talked over the loss and the
probability of finding the IL The
friend made him tell all the ground he
had been over since he had the money.
The last place he was at the postoficc.
The night was wet overhead and slushy
under foot. They stopped at the post
Office, and going to the place where the
man had been found two or three torn
bits of newspaper. 1t was the same.
They looked further, and found the lost
treasure. 1t had been kicked in turn by
every one who came into the office, and
when found was all united and completely
soaked in slush. They seized it eagerly
and returned to their hotel, where they
spent several hours in cleaning it. It
was all there, and at last they got it
dried. The grateful man took his friend
out and bought him the handsomest
gold watch cluip he could find.
