flies, its rider sitting serenely and easily in
his saddle; or when in the dim twilight it
steals like a specter by us, frightening our
horses out of their senses and making them
nervous for hours afterward, we never con-
slider the difficulty of riding the glittering
steel toy.
The rider sits on his unsubstantlai-look-
ing metal steed without any effort, and
with touch of his foot sends it rushing
along as silent as the man who has run up
against the ''sawdust game" The least

the November term of 1885 would

Court house and Jail of the county
and find them well kept and the
prisoners well cared for. We have
examined into the status of the 16tl .
Section on the Mississippi River in

Il deplorable condition, there being
about one hundhcd acres cleared and
in cultivation, and, as far as we have
been able to ascertain, no rents have
been paid in by the collector, except
dirty dollars, very recently paid in.
We respectfully ask that the atten-
ton of the Prosecuting Attorney be
by the Court called to the affairs of
this School District and that he be
directed to take such steps, as by law,
he is authorized to do to secure the
said district whatever of rents NAV
be due and unpaid, and if any one
be liable to prescntment or indict-
ment in connection with the affairs
Of said School District that he be in

Although the new Congress meets

just,iying an earnest canvass. This
year, for the first time almost in the
history Of Congress, no contest is
indicated. Mr.. Randall has said
that he would not be a candidate for
the Spcakership, and Mr.. Carlisle is
sure to be reelected, as the Demo
Gratis have a clear majority of forty
two over the Republicans, Other
old officers are likely to be ro-elect-
ed, Clark the clerk, and Lcedom the

"A Eoine Play"
fBuHalO Express1

A newly-landed Irishman enjoyed
his first attendance at tn eatre shortly
after his arrival in this country. The
play was of the blood and thunder
kind, and therefore particularly adapted
to the pugnacious fancy of the Hiber-
MAN. In the first act occurred q
thunder storm with all the stage access
series. This pleased him much. In
the second there was an encounter
between two regiments of supers armed
with muskets. Again his Celtic blood
grew warm. In the third act was rep
resented first class free fight, and he
fairly shouted with joy. Just as the
curtain went up on the fourth act the
boiler in the cellar of the theatre ex-
ploded and threw the Irishman into
the middle of the next street. He
gathered himself up, smoothed out the
dents in his skull and went back to the
ruins of the theatre. There he found
the ticket-taker overlooking the wreck
and thus accOsted him:
"Begorra, scr, but that was a foine
play. Av you place, what are yez
goin' to play next?"
