The growth of the evening paper in
this country during the past five
years has been wonderful. The morn
ing paper is thing of the past, when
it took all day to collect the news and
all night to print it. With improved
machinery and a perfect telegraph
tystem, men and women are not 60
ing to wait until morning for news of
the day. Why should man go to
bed at night. not knowing what has
transpired in the great broad world

Misses by Mail.

A young postmaster OF a village
postoffice was hard at work when a
gentle tap was heard upon the door,
and in stepped a bashful maiden of 16
with money-order which she desired
cashed. She handed it with bashful
smile to the official, who after closely
exa mining it, gave her the money it
called for. At the same time he asked
her if she had read what was written
on the margin of the order.
"No, have not" she replied, for i
cannot make it out. Will you please
read it for me?"
The young postmaster read as fol-
lows: 81 send you SO and dozen

said: "Now 1 have paid you the money
and suppose you want the kissesv

Republican, Simplicity I'm W ash
fnSlOn.


The Constitutional requirement that
Congress must give its consent to the
acceptance of foreign presents or
honors, is an evidence of what foreign
ers call our republican simplicity.
This spirit OF simplicity" pervades
all our institutions. The people are
not disposed to forget that they are
the real sovereign, and they require
that the management OF their affairs
shall be open to inspection. The citi-
zens from the blckwoods OF the West,
and the citizens from the classic
streets of Boston, may wander about
the halls Of government with equal
freedom and IMMUNITY. The only re-
striction are those OF prudence or
necessity An American should not
complain because he is permitted to
roam through the vaults of the Treas
ury only under the escort of guide.
If he wishes to hear the debates OF
Congress, seat in the gallery is at
his disposal.
!. That We find "red tape" and excess
sive dignities in some of our official
circles. concede; but these are trifies
as compared with the tedious formal
tiles and pomp of other lands. In
deed, 1t is only by such comparison
that you can properly estimate these
features of American equality.
Here We have no long line oil serv-
ants in livery and soldiers in uniform

OF an army around the White House,

man when driven through the streets
of Washington, in very ordinary
carriage, drawn by two very ordinary
horses. i have seen President Grant

NJ. NJ. OGorman and Will Grid re-
turned last evening from Sonora with
Mr.. John Grid, who was accidentally
shot there few days ago, reference

off Mr.. Grid had a surveyors field
book in his outside coat pocket. The
bullet struck this and went through it
striking Mr.. Gird on the short rib on
the left side, and glancing upward
came out above the left shoulder. The
book no doubt saved his life. Al

that were forced through by the bull

Grid did not suffer any on the trip,

COMPLIMENTS TO A PASTOR.

MIR. RI have no complaint to make, so
just hear me through. will say first of all. that
Christmas has come and gone. This also is think
as 1t should be. because the average man is by
nature 30 put up. that he can stand Just so many
days of Christmas times, and after they are
gone he is in danger from top to bottom and
from centre to circumference. can't say that
regret the departure of the old year, for there
is a wise and gracious feature in all OF these
changes.
The death of the one is always followed by the
birth of another and the funeral drge of the old
year s changed into the coronation anthem OF
the new.
There is certain fitness of things which all of
us would do well to consider before we go too far
TO profit by the knowledge thereof. This item OF
interest seems to be very well understood by
the fact of the business is just this these people
different.
The people around Aberdeen and Perrymans
seem bent on doing something and their better
feelings prevailed and they agreed to do some
cem b FIJI our on people did
at a certain place previously agreed upon and
then go in force on their mission Of good work:
their journey happened to be the home of your
scribe They were OF course kindly greeted, las
presume for they took entire S possesson Of the
house. and crowded your humble servant from
parlor to dining room and from there TO the
space, made precious by its scarcity. They ran
the rancho to suit themselves and asked no favors
but granted many. But the best of friends have
into detail as to the result of this visit by our
friends. TITS enough to say we found bundles and
packages, cakes, fruits, meats and preachers de-
lights, (alias chickens dressed and undressed) for
you see 1t was night and so on and so forth.
This kind of fooshness was kept up on small
err scale. until December oath, Christmas eve, when
Mr.. ]. Fl H. and family came with their compli-
ments. and then our Perryman friends being una
BILE to come In body, chartered team, and our
young friend G.. brought his own and their
Christmas Offering to the writer. Their offering
general in its character and very liberal in it's
pork. roast of beef, meal by the sack, canned
fruits by the dozen, apples and lots of other
things. some of which we have eaten up and
others which we have forgotten. Now, Mr..
Editor, allow me to return my grateful thanks
to all who honored US and made US feel happy, by
this expression of interest in our temporal COM
fort. And may the Giver of all blessings give the
early and the latter rains to INCREASE their SUBJ
stance and may they finally be His.

Ajax PAYER ON PUBLIC ROADS.


MR.. EDITOR: In your issue Of last week your
remarks on New Public Roads, which are now
being made and applied for to the County Com
mssionere were timely and well directed, and espc
cially appropriate for the commencement of tho
new year. Our County Commissioners no doubt
wish to accommodate and advance the interests
OF all classes Of their fellow citizens, particular
ly those who use the roads of the county. But
in granting new roads there are several matters
to be considered: First, is there an absolute ne
cessity for makiLg them? VIII the benefits re-
sulting from them justify their construction
use and will their utility be likely TO continue
Has the county the means on hand, or to be
raised, without an increase of taxationl
According to your statement IL will require
$783s to pay for the fourteen roads contracted to
be made and favorably reported This will re-
quire an increase of taxes on the last levy of
about seven cents on the $780, or equivalent to
81 cents, instead of "a cents in the last levy. The
presumption Is that the amount levied for 1884
for new roads and bridges will be exceeded by
$7932.
Now. are the taxpayers willing and able to have
their taxes increased, when they are compelled
to sell their produce at about twenty per cent.
lower than for several years pastp The canning
interest, which doomed up so brilliantly three
years aRo, has very much collapsed. Why, then,
should our county expenses be increased? Pru-
dence and wisdom dictate a diminution, instead
of an increase, when taking the whole matter into
consideration.
Would It not be more beneficial to travel to
improve the present old roads than to build 30
many new ones. some of which, having cost the
county large amounts, are travelled but very lit
tie in the course of few years, but the repairs
Of which are constant drain on the county
treasury
hope the Commissioners will bear this in mind
and shape the affairs of the county accordingly.
