GENERAL Manager Towne, OF
the G. P. and S. P. r. r., has
come 10 a very wise conclusion in
reference to the employees of the
railroad company. He has issued
an order that no train men will
be retained in the service of the
company who are in the habit of
visiting places where intoxicat-
ing liquors are sold. He should,
in connection with the above,
have ordered that no person who
isin the habit of drinking whisky,
or other spirituous liquors, shall
be retained in the employ of the
railroad company.

There are 10000 postoffices
within the domain of the United
states, and there will, therefore,
De $4,000 Democratic Postmasters
70 be appointed. For each of
these postoffices there are said to
be twenty-five Democratic ap>
plicants, making in the aggregate
100000 Democratic persons who
would like to be Postmasters
But as there are only 10000 to
be appointed out of 100000, it
looks to US as if expecting one of
these postoffices was as uncertain
as trying to find a needle in q
good size hay-stack. Somehow.
Yuma is unlike other localities
where there is a Postoffice, and
we can safely say that there are
not twenty-five Democrats here
after the Postofice-in fact we
don't know OF a single one. The
people here are satisfied with the
present incumbent, and as far as
the Democrats Of Yuma ara con-
eerned he is welcome to the Office
auring the rest Of his natural life.

THERE are two subjects which we a

THERE are two subjects which we al
ways approach with fear and trembling,
on account Of our inadequacy to deal
with them, and they are the tariff and
the currency. We can write about any,
thing, but we are not certain on these
two matters Of American legislation, that
anything that we might say would have
in it the ring of explanatory truth; but
we can ask question, and leave it for
others to answer. If the silver dollar of
to-day has the same amount OF pure sill.
yer that it did when it was first coined
under the act of 1894, why is it that it
is not equal to a gold dollar, or why is
there difference of Is cents in value?
If the silver dollar is the same in silver,
Congress has given the gold dollar by
legislation its extra value. These are
questions that common people would
not only like to understand, but have a
right to know. We have an abiding
faith in the craftsmanship Of Senator
Walthall, and we hope before the winter
lis over that we shall hear from him on
these matters.

Mrs. Herbert Assaulted by THIEVES in
- Algiers. -i ,rf f..s 4

Last night between 10 and II o'clock,
some unknown thieves entered Mr.. Her.
bert's residence, in Algiers, during his
absence. and hit his wife on the head and
breast with some blunt instrument while
asleep in bed, knocking her insensible.
She was then pulled out of bed by the
thieves, and she was found lying on the
floor. The thieves cut open the mattress
from which they took $400. They brrke
open the amoir and stole about 500
worth ofjewelry and made their escape.
Mrs. Herbert's injuries we're attended to
by DR.. Magruder, and pronounced slight.
The above involves security ofa lady
well known in Grenada, formerly Miss
Nettie Huntington, now Mrs. Herbert.
Mr.. H., lived in Grenada several years,
and both husband and wife have many
friends here, who will sympathise with
them not only in the personal dangers OF
the estimabe lady, but in the pecuniary
losses they both sustain. rrg... q ~o

WEgive couple of sparks snatched
from two of our exchanges in different
quarters of the State. The Commercial
Herald, Of Vicksburg, says:
The lien law is being very little dis

excite any special interest with our Leg

death. Let it die.

The lien law is again looming up for
legislative consideration. This will do
Jas well as anything else to show how
much the average legislator and editor
don't know.

necessary to build grade from Grenada

The prcttiest Of literary anecdotes has

the pair Of famous story tellers. One day
q little girl rang the bell and met him in
the hall with the words; care you the
Eyes, / and my brother" 9And that of
the clever little tailor who married the
princess" "Yes, certainly" "Well, f." said

odd Fact. from Mexico.

Ntte lorE sun.
When You hire servant in Mexico it Il
expected that his or her entire family viii
reside with you. The husband OF YOU
cook may be a shoemaker, but when his
days duty is done he goes to the house
where his vile is living, sleeps
there and takes his meals at
your table; and the same rate
applies to children. You nay hire
Chambermaid and board her husband and
eleven children. There is no alternative;
no evasion OF the customs OF the country.
This system is not so expensive as 1t
seems, for q whole family will sleep in q
single room and they don't need much
but cornbread and beans to eat.
The poems, as all Mexican Indians are
called, make excellent servants. They arc
respectful, obedient, perfectly honest,
neat, and obey instructions implicitly.
Like the Chinese, they iearnby imitation,
and seldom need more than one lesson,
doing the same thing over and over again
in the same way until they are told to
stop.
The Mexican stage.coach always has
two drivers, one to hold the reins and the
other to do the whipping. The latter
carries bag Of stones to throw at the lead
ers.
The postal system is very primitive
After the arrival OF every mail clerk
writes the name OF those persons for whom
there arc letters on a big sheet, which is
posted up outside the delivery window.
Il saves the postmaster from answering
questions.
