EDITOR ARGUS. -"Old Soapgreace" is
very much exercised over my communi>
cation in reply to his last weeks sQuib. as
will be seen by his last issue, wherein he
tacitly admits the source of the 'inspira-
ton" of that squib. When Osborn &
Curtis and Sweeney s. Jackson were the
only abstract firms they used the recorders
office as much as Harson does now, and
in fact. more than he does, for they each
had key to the recorders office. and
worked there in the night time, using gas
and fuel furnished by the county; priv
ilege which no one has enjoyed since.
Sweeney s. Jackson's books were correc-
ted by Mr.. Harson, for that firm. Sweeney
& Walker, successors to Sweeney s. Jack
son. and Guyer & Sweeney, successors to
Osborn g. Curtis, use the records
in the recorders office to keep
up their abstract books; and use
the records to make their
abstracts. "Old Soapgrease" has no in
formation of them or any other number
of abstracts made by Harson in which
there are errors. The ARGUS was wrong
the other day in saying that Dimick was
the biggest liar in town. 1t should have
said "Old Soapgrcase. was. While it
may be that l was mistaken in saying
that the firm alluded to asked the board
to pass IN order refusing the use Of therec
ords to, Harson, it was so stated by three
members of the board, and If they did not
ask it they used language which gave the
board that impression. Harson does not
use the books to the hindrance OF the
work of the recorder, or any one else;
nor in fact, does he use the records as
many hours as "Old Soapgrease's" pet
abstract ring.

Harpsr's Theatre! Friday, Nov. 9Th.

Mestayers "We Us & Co." will be seen
here in few days and no doubt it will
pack the theatre to the doors as it has
wherever produced This piece is. il all
reports speak true, the finest Of all the
musical absurdities written in over five
years. 1t has had an extended run in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia. Chicago
and every large city in the country. Its
situations are said to be novel and OF
such character as to keep the audience
in continuous state OF laughter, from the
rise to the fall of the curtain. In addition
to which the dialogue which is bright and
sparkling in the novelty of its situations
1t abounds in musical selections from the
latest operas. One of the prominent
parts is that of doctor. The character
is satire upon the fraternity Another
is skit upon the athletic craze in the
country. The costumes are bright and
the female element of the company is
very stirring and the company carrys its
own scenes made in New York, so that
we may expect to see performance Of u
remarkably strong character.

Seasons of Happiness.

In the summer the ice men are happy,
for at such times the hot and thirsty ma
tives follow in the wake of their wagons
and pant after their CONCEALED contents
even as the heart panteth for the water
brooks. In the winter when Old Crimp
is around in his buffalo skin suit, nipping
the fingers Of the children of earth. who
were foolish enough to leave them out
where he could reach them, the coal
dealers see their piles of black diamonds
grow less and their stock OF white dia.
monds grow greater. Leaving these
extreme avocatlons we might men
ton that this is the pecu>
liar season OF the year when the
piano tuner wears the broadest kind of Il
smile athwart his face, for his harvest
has just commenced. The heating up of
a house rapidly untunes the very sensitive
musical instrument known as Il piano.
This is not due, however. to the expand.
ing or contracting Of the strings under
the variations of temperature, rs many
suppose, but to the variations produced
in the sounding board under the influence
of increased dryness of the air when fur.
naces and stoves are burning The
sounding board of the piano is always
made of spruce, because of the superior
resonance Of that timber, and yet spruce
is the one wood on earth most widely
affected by the changes in moisture.

The Special Delivery D..

A new and interesting question may
arise one of these days out of the special
delivery system, which has now been on
trial just one month. 1t is the opinion
Of some legal officers that the government
is liable for any damage which may arise
from the non-delvery of letters prepaid
at the special rates the same as tele.
graph company is liable for the non>de-
livery of dispatch. The obligation on
the part of the government is stronger
owing to the fact that it enters into a
special ontract for the additional ten
cents to deliver the letter. Immediately
in certain specified cases. The posioffice
department is said to understand this.
snd it feels considerable embarrassment

A Time for all ThinRp.

How easy it is for an opportunity to

rounded us. cutting off all escape, making
our situation hopeless. but there is time
