There arc two rather amusing charac-
teristics in grape growers generally, to
which I wish to call your attention.
The first is, every spring they declare
it does not pay to raise vines on frosty
lands, aud every fall they are equally
positive they will build wine cellar, at
least large enough to cruah their own
grapes, some time next summer. Let ur

New steel cruisers.

Tho last Congress appropriated 49,.
600, 900 for preliminary to build three
new steel crniscrs. Bids will be open at
Washington on the Gath inst. A recent
doapatch states that Secretary Whitney
said he was in hopes that the Union
Iron Works OF this city would get con.
tract for building at least one or two of
thesc cruisers. The Union Iron Works
Inns the best plant in the country, and
tho Secretary thought the construction
Of these vessels would have the effect Of

Democrats about Washington are elatcd over the fact that Presi- dent Cleveland has ignored the re- quest of Henry Ward Beecher and other Brooklyn Mugwnmps in asking for the retention of the old Post master, and has appointed Joseph C. Hendrix, an old time Democrat who would never atlilliate with Mug wumps. Many other changes are being made that indicate quite a change in the disposition of the President. Cabinet and subordinates in regard to appointments. Quietly the Democrats are being put into place, and soon they will have every. thing worth having.

 EVERY dog has hls day, it is said. The anarchists at Chicago very re gently went on big parade, sport ing red flags, throwing dynamite bombs, ransacking stores etc., and so on. That was their day. And now Uncle Sam has taken the floor and is busy palling them out of thelr holes and corners in order for them to consult little while with 8 stern looking gentleman whose communi- cations from the bench on such oc- casions are apt to be ominous, and about dozen men in the jury box and then to proceed on their way to make the acquaintance of jaiIors, prison keepers, chain gangs, and mayhap an occasional one will tic himself to Ethe end of rope. The Idea may eventually dawn upon the individual known as tho anarchist that in thls country the red flag is q luxury that should be sought after only by such as have limited desires of an earthly existence, or at any rate who admire that peculiar insti- tuition known as the penItentiary.

I thought after the county accounts were investigated and found as near correct as they were that all demo- crats who had strayed of the track would repent of the sin they had fallen into, but it seems like there is some that will turn deaf ear to the truth and follow after false lights.

 NEAR RUssELLvILLE, May 1S.- The annual school meetings are gone and would be glad to read the re- port Of every district. Would that we had voted five mill tax to sup port public education but alas it is not so. Oh, how long will it be be- fore the people take an interest in the education of the children? How long will it be before ignorance and darkness will pass away from the people in the cause of educating their children? How can any sensible man or woman think that children can in q or months In the year get half an education. It is lmpos- sible. Because more than half do not attend regularly, one fourth do not attend more than one half the time, and the other fourth do not at tend at all. I hope % Goa our next legislature will pass something like compulsory law to compel them to go to school. In our district are 90 legal voters; only 20 made their ap- pcarance at the school meeting. l6 votes were cast for 9 mills, and 4 for 5 mills tax. More than one half the voters in this district do not pay any tax on real estate because they have no titles for the land they live on. Consequently they pay but little school tax. Yet they are the ones that voted the tax down. We have had public schools for 8 years. Two years of that time we had 3 months school, for five years we had ?! months school each year, and last year with a five mill tax we had five months and three days school and also 2i months for the colored chil- dre1. I guess that was too mu ' for them, so they voted the tax dow. One of the old directors and the new incoming director voted so and the last named voted for himself
