President Norvin Green, of the West
ern Telegraph company, in his examin-
alton before the senate committee at
New York, said that experience has
shown that it would be a very dangerous
experiment in this country to give to
any party in power the control of
he telegraph as govern
mental sinstitution." In England it's
SO long since partisan strife has affected
the great mass of government employees
that the situation is entirely different
from that here. Those suggestions are
important. Under our present tax sys-
tenn of civil service, the places filled by
more than 10000 operators, to say moth.
ing of clerks and managers, would be
thrown into political field to be fought
by political partisans, and, however
useful and desirable the postal telegraph
may be, the same objections would
equally apply. IT,

The eastern papers have had lack
of live topics for some time, owing to
dog day lassitude, but now they are all
alive to the discussion of a proposition
to abolish the ringing of church bells in
cities, which is an admitted nuisance to
a great many people, especially invalids.
The usefulness of the bell among poor
and sparse populations who could not
afford to own time-piece and lived so
remote from the sanctuary that the
noise did not disturb them, made it
popular in earlier days, and the
custom, now more honored in
the breach than the observance,
has been handed down to generation
that carries watch in every pocket and
keepsa clock in every house. But the
antiquity of the custo IN is strongly in
its favor. 4 great many good people
would almost as soon abolish the church
itself as ''the church-going bell"

Statue Of Lafayette In Paris.

The unwilling of the statue Of Lafayette
took place on the 9Th inst, in the presence
of an immense crowd, despite severe rain
storm. The streets were decorated with
American and French flags, and triumoha
arches were erected over the principal
streets. Among the distinguished persons
present were Messrs. Morton, United States
minister at Paris ana Sargent, U tied States
minister to Germany. More), president of
the Lafayette memorial committee, per-
formed the ceremony of unwilling the stat
ue, amid plaudits from the multitude and
artillery. Minister Morton, speaking, said
he was enforced to be present and assist at
this tribute to the memory of Lafayette, as
he desired to- express the affection felt by
the people of the United States for oneswho,
next to Washington, had awakened the
gratitude of all American hearts as an ar
dent lover of liberty. He had advocated
the supremacy of law, and his struggle was
for the establishment of constitutional free
dom. Would that he could now see the
noble result of his work. America had at
tanned that prosperity and splelidor which
Lafayette had predicted, America was never
more united than en- this OCCASION; and
may the friendship which Washington and
Lafayette formed remain forever, unbroken
between the two republics. Senator Lafa-
yette returned thanks for the honor con-
ferred upon his ancestor.

Thousands of acres of potatoes and
corn in New England" says the Bos-
ton Traveller, promising heavy yield,
will hardly pay the expense of digging
and harvesting" The drouth of this
year is pronounced much more severe
and destructive than that of 1882, and
serious fear is expressed of the
effect on the farming interests
throughout the Eastern states.
The west, on the other hand,
has been sienally blessed, notwithstand-
ing the cyclone disasters. The spring
opened late, and was cold and un favor
able, but either temperature was even
and there was plenty of moisture, and
afterwards sufficient heat to ripen al
most every product--and frost has held
off beyond the usual period, SO that any
thing, not excepting corn, reached ma
turity.

Willard Excursion on the Rocky
Mountains.

NOu0Ca1NS.
Special from Bohemian, (Mon.): Between
8 and 10 o'clock on the morning of the 18th
inst, our train pulled out from Lexington
for the first division of the Rocky Noun
tains. Approaching from the eastern val
ley, the ascent Of the pass Is abrupt and
short. The summit is the highest point on
the line, and is directly over the Bohemian
tunnel, on which the work is being
pushed rapidly from this point. The scene
~ IS beautiful. Its majesty and grandeur
awe even the heavy takers into silence
broken only by expressions OF surprise as
some new beauty OF landscape or rocky
front opened to US through the gorge in
front of us. The Gallatin valley. in all its
LONELINESS, burst upon the view as it lay
listless and hazy in the golden autumn air.
Field after field of grain in shock bore wit
ness that the present crop had been good
one. We pulled into the depot at boze-
mantle Beautiful City"-through arch
es of evergreeus. and, on alighting found
the depot handsomely decorated, the brass
band Drawing its welcome. the cannon ad-
riages waiting to take the party Tor drive
through the city. Expressions of wonder
were frequent as the blocks of brick busi-
ness houses. the two BRICK graded school
buildings, the churches and fine court
house were passed in SUGGESTIONS;
while on every hand the evil
dences of wealth and tasteful culture were
present. The view of the valley from the
foot hills was most enchanting, and as Chi
cago's mayor said in his speech, ''This is
Certainly glorious country and Gods ia
vored paradise" At the depot, on the re-
turn from the drive, the party took in the
display of fruits, grain, etc., wheat running
from 40 to 100 bushels to the acre. The
latter figure is not typos mistake. The
hundred fold was shown in the bundle, with
six full heads onsone stalk. Barley, bright
and full at forty five bushels per acre, and
oats going up to 100 bushels, and, rye gods!"
weighing fifty pounds to the bushel; inn
mense turnips, cabbages, potatoes, etc., ad
minimum. A block of coal, bituminous,
glossy and very fat, was resting its ton and
a halt of weight on the platform. It was
raised at a mine eight miles away. Gold,
silver and copper from the mountains
around were shown in rich profusion; but
the inevitable "All aboard broke the
charm. Here is certainly one of natures
richest storehouses. Short speeches were
made by Willard Grant and Harrison, and
we sped away well satisfied with Living
stOn, Bozeman and the fertile Gallatin val
ley with her framework of more than AL
