An evidence Of progress and prosper
ty was witnessed this week in the
many demands madeOn the board of
county commissioners for new bridges,
new roads and additional voting pre-
cincts. 1t shows that the people are
being aroused to the wants of the day;
that they are no longer satisfied with
the primitive way of travelling across
prairies without roads or bridges. They
are anxious to exercise the privilege of
citizens in selecting their own public
servants.
The era of progress is already here,
and modern ideas and demands are fast
coming into vogue.

saving Secretary cnandlers CHEST.

Everybody knows the story of the
old woman in black in stage coach,
the cause Of whose mourning female
fellow passenger found out to be the loss
Of son at sea, and told her that abe
had great cause for thankfulness II he
was hopefully pious and she had saved
his chest. Ever since coal schooner
rammed and sank the man-of-war
TalIapoosa off Cape Cod, the Secretary
Of the Navy has been exhibiting lively
anxiety for the salvation of his chest,
which went down with the ship-so
lively, indeed, that it has excited suspi-
documents which might make an enter
tanning feature in the Presidential can
vass il it should wash ashore into indis-
Greet hands. The interview between
Butler and Chandler, in consequence
OF which Butler set out on his
present political tour, took place on board
OF the Tallapoosa, with this memorable
chest standiog in corner of the Secre'
tary's cabin. From the day the Talla,
poosa went to the bottom the wreck has
been carefully watched lest Mr.. Chan
dler's chest might rise to the surface,
but the deep sea has not yet given uf
any Of the Secretary's political secrets,
The only personal effects Of his which
have been rescued floating are one pain
of blue flannel trousers Yesterday the
Navy Department concluded contract
for pumping out the Tallapoosa and
raising her for thirty.five thousand dol
lars. This seems to be great deal tc
pay for the salvation Of that chest The
old ship herself, without the chest. Ger
fainly is not worth anything like that
sum for naval purposes. But our hope.
fully pious Secretary Of the Navy knows
boat. He knows what the chest con
tsins. and he thinks the price is reason
able.-N. Y. Herald.
