The same disposition TO buy characterized the

receipts are light and the grain shipped fiom
roads. The heavy arrivals from Collin, Gray

present appearances there will not be a decline

United States Treasurer Wyman has
promoted Thomas T.. Rodgers. financial
beok-keeper in the redemption divis
ion, to be superintendent of that divis.
ion, in place of E. o. Graves, promoted
to be assistant treasurer. This appoint
ment is a recognition of civil-service
principles by Mr.. Wyman. Mr.
Rodgers entered the service, almos,
unknown, as subordinate clerk. liz
is said to have speedily developed re-
markable skill at figures and good or
ganizing ability, and has lately bee,
eminent as chief financial book-keeper
This is as it should be. The honest
capable public servant should be re-
warded with promo'ion,and the worth
less and incompetent should be weeded
out. Thus the public service vii
become more economical, more efficient
and more honorable.

sold on favorable terms, and as soon as these
can be contracted for until the entire number

have the whole siXty-eight lots, which the adj.

industrious working men. The DR.. Temple
residence will be thoroughly repaired and re-

chase of several other lots about town to be
used for similar purpose, but has as yet not
fully matured his plans in reference to them.
The boom for good old Lexington has evident

erected within its limits during the present
year, than there has been during the seven.

One Of the pleasantest summer trips in
America, if not the most SO, is a steamboat
ride from St. Louis to Lake Pepin up the
Mississippi river. There is the freedom from
the dust Of the railroad car; the continued
fresh breezes which temper the atmosphere so
deliciously as to render their fannings alone
on exquisite luxury; there is the gentle and
pleasant motion Of the elegant aud rapid
boats of the st. Louis Il St. Paul Packet
Company, perfect floating palaces in them
selves; then there is the ever-changing and
most beautiful scenery, We all know that
no landscape can be really beautiful without
= bit of water in 1t. Here hundred varied
views are presented during the day, each
prettier than its predecessor. To lover Of
nature nothing can be more entrancing-
valley and hill; lowland stretching away in
pretty glades; islands dotted here and there :;
ranges of hills, precipices, and winding amid
1t all the clear waters Of the Mississippi 1t is
worth dozen western or eastern trips.
When you tire of natures lovellness you can
turn to the cabin and flirt with your friends

almost any quarter of our country. If YOU
are musically inclined the piano is there. and
ifyou love the woods and streams, if you de-

The Nestor Of the Missouri Press, in
q recent issue of his paper said :-"And
still the Glasgow Journal is mum
num-" We do not know what the
journal is mum about ;wc simply desire
to call the attention Of our genial friend
of the Carrollton Record 10 thefact that
even in the classic shades of the Athens
of Missouri "mum'' is thought to be a
good word. So much so Us to be used
twice in breath by the most exact
writer in Missouri journalism. Nav it
not be that our good friend of the
Record, i'll the yellow-back, dime
novel stage of his existence, saw this
word "mum" in bad company, and
thereby conceived an unwarranted pref
udice against it, just as we have done
with the word "nasty" which though
filthy in our ears is applied by polite
English people to the weather, the
temper, and all manner of things.
Mum! mum! Some way the word does
not sound badly.

"A republican paper says: - eth
management of the almshouse at
Tewksbury, Mass, unfolds a horrid
tale of hearrlessness, greed and general
depravity. But we object to its being
taken as representing the character of
the republican party of Massachusetts,,
or of any large class of the people of
that state of any party or sect: 1t is
one of the absurdities of modern poll
tical discussion that if a republican is
caught robbing hens roost there is at
once a great outcry about the miscon'
duct of the republican party in having
robbed hen-roost. The wretches at
the Tewksbury aimshouse who have
shortened the lives of infants in order
to traffic in their bodies, and who have
frozen, starved and tortured adult in
mates, will, of course, be punished for
their crimes" o, ah, yes! 1t is wrong
to hold the republican party of Massa-
chusetts responsible for the acts of its
chosen officers, honored for years and
zealously and for long time defended
against serious charges, until Governor
Butler stripped the masks from their
sanctimonious and hypocritical faces;
but it is all right, we suppose, to make
the democratic party responsible for
the acts of a mob, which was just as
likely composed of republicans as dem
ocrats, as witness the extract below
from the same paper which printed the
first quotation, and from the same is
sue ga mob attacked O'Brien's
circus at Dover, Delaware, last
Saturday, and shot two men because
the show was not as good as it should
have been. It was with difficulty that
the remainder of the company escaped
with their lives. Delaware is a demo-
cratic state" Consistency is evidently

cally opposite opinions can be paraded
