On our first page will be found an
article from the Chicago Ne,rs, where
in it is charged that Postmaster Hays,
of st. Louis. has been forced to resign
on account of certain "irregularities"
discovered in the financial department
of his office. 1t is but justice to note
that Mr.. Hays denies the charges, and
also the rumor that he has resigned.
He says, however, that he intends to
send In his resignation at an early day,
and thus do away with the worry and
annoyances his political enemies have
encompassed him with ever since his
induction into the Post Office. "Uneasy

The New Madrid Record Is right in
reference to the advisability of sending
unpledged delegates to the State Con-
vention, and we trust every county In
the Southeast may send delegations
untrammeled with instructions. It will
at least do no harm to "try i on'' for
one time. Hitherto we have signally
failed in our efforts to get proper rec
ognition at the hands of the delegates
from other sections. Our only privi-
lege has been to give big majorities to
candidates named by the people Of
North and Central Missouri. Says the
Record:
For the past ten years the delegates from
Southeast countiesto the State nominating
conventions have been instructed to vote for
various outside candidates. II not instruct.
ed by the county conventions, the individual
delegates fastened to pledge their support
before leaving home to at least one candidate
for every place on the State ticket. The re-
suit has been that our delegates, thus handi-
capped, were without weight or influence in
the convention. 1t is the uninssracted and
nnpied1ed delegates who. are ecurts6 and

LooUAcfTY IN PRINTING 0FRIcE.
One ofthe greatest anuoyances to fore
man or overseer,, as we'll as to. the iudustri-
Gus workman who wishes to perform his
whole duty, is the habit of gabbling in,
dulged inby those fellows who insist upon
talking of current events, aud oaen the
worlds cptiro history, during fS5 hours
which should be devoted to business In
no workshop is this practice SO deleterious es
in the printing Office, for in no other is there
so close and undivided attention required to
produce the best results. No man can set
type with proper care while his mind is oc.
cupied with the confederation of other
affairs, especially if that consideration is
forced upon him by the audible conversation
of some one near him. A printer must
think while he works and be must think
of the task before him. He must decipher
his copy and give thought to its punctuation,
and even the construction Of its sentences,
and this he cannot do while his attention
is diverted to something entirely foreign to
il. lie can think OF but one thing at a
time and if he is talking Of politics or
religion, or social ills, he will, of necessity,
neglect the work set before him, and if il is
occupied with idle gossip, he is defrauded
of that which is his due. "A few sltnments
conversation between two oompositoIb bsnay
seem small matter but when it includes
MS it generally does, several men at frequent
intervals, it becomes quite serious affair
resulting in absolute loss to the employer.
"Mauy a mickle makes a muckle," and ff.
teen minutes day max es an hour and a
half during the week.
1t is homely saying, "the still SOW drinks
tho swill;" and among compositors it will
be noticed that those who do the least
talking will, other things being equal, set
more type, and do it better, than their
garrulous neighbors whose tongues are con.
tinually running.

MUTToN.-The mutton Of we'll fed
sheep of every breed, from the Downs aud
Shires down to the little wooled Saxony, is
palatable and heathful. None Of the OBJ.
jections urged against the use of pork can
be brought against those of muttsn. IL
never has been known to impart scrofula,
trichine or tape worms to its consumers.
The sheep does not thrive in the mire, nor
does it consume garbage or vermin or de-
caying meats or vegetables. 1t does not
wallow in the trough It leeds from, but is
dain!; and careful feeder aud as cleanly as
needs be iu its habits. Mutton is more
easily and cheaply produced than beef, is
just as nutritious, and may be served in just
as great variety of forms. AS a steady
food, it is far superior to poultry, aud costs
no more. We mean good, fat, juicy mutton,
not that from the halfstarvcd scabby or
foot-ordered specimens that have outlived
their breeding age and been shorn .pf fee-
ces enough to furnish shoddy blankets for
q tribe of Indians. People in cities seldom
know how good mutton tastes, and the re-
mark may also apply to most families upon
the farm. The latter too often fail to try it .
We know Of many well-to do farmers,
men who have well.stockcd farms, who do
not slaughter sheep during twelve month,
yet kill pig every month in the summer
season and in the fall nput down" pork
enough to last every other month during the
year. This is nation Of meat eaters, but
it confines itself too exclusively to pork and
beef. 1t is better to sandwich in little
more mutton. A few sheep for family con-
sumption, even when they are not kept for
sale or for wool, will be found most ex-
celent investment on all farms. - Connec-
ticut Farmer.
