Chester Tribune: "The fruit crop OF
southern Illinois helped make up the loss
sustained by farmers through short wheat
crops. The Murphysboro Era says the
little station of New Burnsides, johnson
county, shipped over $4,000 worth of
apples of superior quality. Carbonate
shipped this season about 100000 worth
of green and dried fruit. A snug sum tor
the producers pocket"
Since the rslde made by the officers on
"Pinch" come weeks ago, that ulcerating
spot upon the corporate body has been less
active, the discharges of unhealthy puss less
frequent and less offensive. On the whole,
Africa has been behaving herself during the
last few days, but this may be not so much
because of reform ia itself as because
Young America has had possession of the
field pretty much of the time.

ture without first examining the large and
elegant stock now on exhibition corner nth

finest ever shown on this side of Chicago,

Alarmed at the defeat of Randall, the
Pennsylvania iron men have commenced to
form q pool to combat the growing senti-
ment 10 favor of free-trade. They predict that
the Democratic party, which stumbled on a
principal lying in the highway to success,
will be so badly frightened at 1t that it will
leave it where it found it. Whether it does
or not, the message has been written on the
wall for the tyranncal tariff, and the exc
cution of the sentence can only be little
while delayed either by protectionist pools
or partly stupidity.
The modern edition of "Jarndice VS..
Jarndice," under the title of Nenninger vs..
Schiller and Lutz, equally familiar in the
courts of southern Illinois, continues to drag
its weary length along in thecourt of Judge
Baker. There are several other Mound
City cases on the docket, which, in all, will
occupy the time of the court for several
weeks, to the neglect of Alexander county
cases Of equal importance. But the worst
of it is that Alexander county has to bear
all the expenses of the trials and could not
be reimbursed. However, we may come
back at Pulaski in like manner some time.

The party of young folks who wen'
down to Laketon to fish and hunt, returned
in splendid spirits mot of the intoxicating
kind Tuesday evening. They had de
lightful time all day Tuesday, but no fish
or game. Though they fished and hunted
much they talked and laughed more, and al
hunting and fishing are sports that must b'
followed reverently and quietly in order tc
furnish their reward, they neither brough
anything up from the aqueous depths, no.
down from leafy branches. In this dilemma

without any "horns'O they were compelled
to make liberal drafts upon the "commis
