The Union says that Street Commits
sioner Mccarthy did not receive his office
through the medium of fusion with the
republicans. But it does not take man
with more than an ordinary acquaintance
of what were with the political workings
of the city year ago last spring, to know
the circumstances under which Mccarthy
got his job. His appointment was prom
ised by Murdock in the event of his
election, long before the city election
took place, and without the support
which this pledge gave him, Murdoch
could never have pulled through, and he
knows it and Mccarthy knows it. In
fact. there was no attempt made to hush
up this preconcerted arrangement

such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety 90 government

on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance of stability. The
good season and the great tide of immie
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas, free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter, added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far

Building Of the OYSTERS Shell.

When an oyster is first born he is a
very simple, delicate dot, as it were,
and yet he is born with his two shells
upon him. For some unknown reason
he always fixes himself on his round
shell, never by his Hat she'll, and being
once fixed he begins to grow-but he
only grows in summer. When the
warm, calm days of June comes the
oyster opens his shell, and by means
of his beard begins to build an addi-
tional story to his house. This he does
by depositing very fine particles of car
Donate of lime til ut last they form n
substance as thin AS silver paper, and
exceedingly fragile; then he adds more
and more, till at last tho new shell is
rs hard as the old one,-Qucer, Quaint
