OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Through the munifcent of Mr.. VIM
II. Vanderbilt, the magnificent pre-
sents made to General Grant during
mis- tour around the world in lS78-'79,
have been deposited in the Treasury
Department tor safe keeping until pro-
per arrangements are made to place
them on exhibition at the National
Museum. These Igifts required fifteen
huge boxes IN transE ortatlon from
New York City here and OF course
there is nothing in the whole list that
can not be ranked as either rare or
costly. The onyx cabinet from Mexico
presented by President Iturbide and
other Mexican dignitaries, embraces a
wonderfully rare and valuable collec-
ton of stones. and there are snuff box
es, and necklaces, and bracelets, and
finger rings and writing secretaries
and caskets without end.
The DID Liberty Bell, which has been
doing duty since last January at the
New Orleans Exposition, left here this
morning for its old home in Indepen-
dence Hall, Philadelphia. 1t has been
generally supposed that the enormous
crack in this bell was made by the en-
thusiastic bell-rlnger when it was pro-
claiming liberty throughout the land
and to the inhabitants. thereof in 1176
but such is not the case. The bell was
in excellent condition for more than
hall century after that or until 1882
when upon the death of Chief Justice
John Marshall, its mournfui cadenceS
were suddenly brought to an end by
the abrupt opening OF the seam, even
while the funeral cortege was passing
the door of the old hall For one hun
dred and ten years the old bell ha:
hung IN the hall, only to be disturbed
upon two occasions prior to its tina
death wounds, those occasions being
the anniversary of independence or

all the world sees and calls him a
fool. When a private citizen makes a
mistake nobody knows it except few
friends, and they come around and
ask the editor to keep it out of the
paper. When a private citizen dies
the editor is ashamed TO write of his
good qualities and leave the bad out.
When the editor dies, the private citi-

worthy the name park" even IN
city OF Krksville's pretensions.
Civil service reform cuts
small figure in the prosperity of Adair
county. Agricultural and stock grow
ing reform are the things that play the
important part in our prosperity.
The last legislature passed a
law making it a misdemeanor, punish
able with fine Of $50 for each Of
fence, for every keeper ofa billiard or
pool table to permit any one to play
on the same who is under al years OF
age. The law went INTO effec. the
2slh of this month.
Il large lot of job work was
done, at this Office, for LaPlata, this
week. Good pre- dsses and rapid work
men enable US to challenge competi-
ton in quality and prices, with any job
Office in North Missouri. Merchants in
adjacent towns should make a note Of
fhis, and when needing anything in
this line order direct from US.
The park was fixed up without
one dollar of the public money being
expended, and is now credit to our
beautiful town. When the streets
about the square are nicely graded, as
they should, and soon viii be, and the
town council has exhausted the funds
al its command, We believe much
could be done by soliciting private
subscriptions. Set the ball rolling and
see how promptly our business mer
will respond
The Wabash company has jus
completed depot at this place, o
which every citizen of KirksYille feel:
justly proud. As depots are objects
of attacks Tor small boys with thei
first jack knives, and loaiers, who ar
never engaged except when whiting
We would suggest that the city counci
appoint at least two of the depot force
as marshals, that they may have pow
er to arrest any one found cutting o
otherwise defacing the building.
Some OF our business men ar,
advertising in papers outside tht
county. This is right. and we say al
honor to the business men of Kinks
vile who show this liberal spirit. l
we would attract trade from othe
counties our business men must lie

Next to liberal use of printers inl
there is nothing that will draw an

We have heard a number
farmers say that if KiIksvilIe did NJ
fix up her streets so that they woul
not be compelled to drive throug
mud up to the axle when they com
here to trade, they would donate fe
days work toward making the stree
respectable. Now it would be to
bad to have the farmers come in an
fix up the streets OF Kirksville, but
after the town council has them nice
graded, the farmers should offer to d
nate the hauling of few hundrs
loads of gravel we would advise the
to make haste and accept it with .hanl
profuse.
