The good people of WATERFOWL, Wis,
our old home, are in great quandary an to
who shall be postmaster when the Cleve.
land tide comes in. On the score of
patriotism Colonel d. d. Scott is sug-
gested by writer in the Gazette. Then
come several communications in the
REPUBLICAN, and from a financial point
OF view Amos Baum or Henry S. Howell
is suggested. The patriots and fnaaciers
have been heard from, now let, the
politicians speak. WATERFOWL is the old
striding ground of Carl Schurz, who has
rendered services to the incoming Presi-
dent net 10 be overlooked. It is meet
that he should be rewarded, and the
Watertown Postofice would be good meat
for the stork. Let there be unanimous
consent for General Schurz, brethren!-

Home iron. NeaO Orleans

Prof. G. F. VicbAhn and Prof Sadtler,
returned Friday from their visit to the
New Orleans Worlds Exposition. They
report the Exposition as yet quite crude
and in a somewhat confused condition
not at all agreeable or satisfactory to the
visitors. In the estimation of these
gentlemen to pronounce it a Worlds
Exhibit" conveys broader idea of its
ANS and proportions than it deserves.

The question of the postmastership
keeps itself before the public. The
report that the fight is narrowed down tC
a choice between Scott and Gardner is
denied by other aspirants. Mr.. Gardner
within the past week has had a petition
in circulation among old soldiers asking
for his appointment as postmaster, and
we understand it was numerously signed
by both Democrats and Republicans who
served 10 the war There is movement
on foot among the influential Democrats
bere that in the event of Mr.. Gardner
appointment az postmaster, the office OF
Collector of Internal Revenue. be remov-
ed from Madison to this city and Colonel
Scott appointed Collector as means OF
allaying all differences and making
things even between the centending
forces. How the matter will be bridged
over that General Harnden was also in
the war and figures in history as one OF
capturers of Jefferson Davis, has not yet
been determined. But in any event the
talk of having the Collectors Office here
is the sheerest nonsense. Mark that
down.

Cost Somebody $500 in Greenbacks
from the Leavenworth (Kas) Times.l

From the Leavenworth (Kas.) Times]
billiard Washington, of the Missouri
Valley Detective Association, and an
other colored man, while looking
through an old counter, taken from
the O'Donnell store, at Fourth and
Pottawatomie Streets, yesterday
made a find. They discovered a rats
nest which had been made almost en-
tirely of ffties, tens and five dollar
bills, all chewed and torn up so fine,
and the different bills mixed so closely
and thoroughly together, as to look as
though they had been run through a
sausage machine. From the size of the
wad Of dissected currency, the amount
abstracted by the thievish rats must
have been nearly $500. There is no
record of so large a sum having been
missed, and it is supposed that the
bills were carried from the money
drawer one at time, but that bills of
the denomination of $50 should not
be missed is mystery. If they were
missed, perhaps suspicion rests even
to-day on the shoulder of some limo
cent person of having stolen the
money. The detectives have the
pieces in their possession, part of
which they showed to a reporter for
the Times yesterday afternoon. In
many instances the numbers and sig
natures are intact, but as whole the
mass is little better than a tumble of
shreds. One thing is evident; the rats
in that neighborhood wereno common
trash. They were certainly of the up
per crust and thoroughbreds at that.

The Experience of Kind Mr.. Adams
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


Archibald Adams, teamster,
who resides out on the Brownsville
Road, had an interesting and exhila-
rating experience yesterday morning.
A week ago Mr.. Adams bought pair
of plain, ordinary, everyday mules at
the horse market. Now, Mr.. Adams
is a careful man and has kind heart
for animals. So when he noticed IN
the farmers column of newspaper a
day or SO ago that it was an excellent
thing to wash the hoofs of horses oc-
casionally in hot water, he came to
the conclusion that he would try it's
beneficial effects on those mules. He
got pail of hot water yesterday
morning and hied himself away to the
stable. The mules blinked at him with
a mild, languid air, firted their little
tails about pleasantly, and awaited
their masters will. Mr.. Adams set
the pail of water down at the rear feet
of one of the mules. The mule kept
on looking pleasant. Then Mr.. Adams
lifted up one of the hoofs and carefully
put it in the bucket. -- ! {!

AT New River, CAL, an Indian killed
a half-breed boy. The boy was laugh
ing about something while the Indian
was getting on his horse, and the Indian
told him that if he laughed at him he
would shoot him. The boy laughed
again and the Indian shot and hit him;
the boy staggered back and the Indian
fired again, missing him, when the boy
dropped dead from the effects of the
first shot.

Mn. EDITOR: BY your permission I
will call to the notice of the severe
Oranges Of Anderson County the i'm
portance of the discussion of the Tenn
perance question in the Oranges, both
subordinate and associate. We are
through the discussion of the subject of
fertilizers and compost heaps for this
Spring, and have decided on what crops
VIC will plant, and the mode of cultiva.
tioui and the most OF us, believe, have
determined to make our farms self:sua!,
tanning, If we, are blessed with health
aud favorable rains. This, IL seems to
me, is o favorable time for the members
Of all the Oranges In this County: to
discuss the. Temperance question, and
discuss It thoroughly, for the good of the
people generally, and determine BY what
course they will induce our Representa-.
tives to notice and act upon petition
sent to them. And if petition with
twelve hundred and nine names ia not
enough, swell 1t to three times that
number. I use the word we and Dur,
because I consider every true Granger a
temperate man Of woman, and one, that
does not claim 70 know. oil, but one that
Is open 'tosconviction on oil questions for
the.good OF the people at large, and one
that after patiently viewing all the good
and evil Of any important question, will
decide aud act In such q manner that
they will be noticed: What say your I

of Maj. Morgan could not have been
asked as from South Carolina by Capt.
Dawson or either of oui Senators. The
fact that the application was made by
South Carolina men doubtless led to
the mistake of crediting him to this
State. All of the parties to the transac.
ton owe it to themselves to have Maj.
Morgan credited to the State of which
he Is citizen. OF course it is wrong in
principle and bad in policy to appoint
men to Office from one State when they
live In another. II is totally at variance
with the spirit of our government. 1t is
a practice which was established by the
