 Getting down f.cl tke slsEe. ana mirEl,nc with the people on tne streets and ,n tEe stores We ind thBi this ar o seeming prosperity ls Bll de.usiOn. We are told that business Is quiet, and that the crowds oi people whom We iOsile upon the streets, and in -he saloons are al
 broke and not engaged in any piriicu lar branch ot industry, hut. like ih, peers in Iolanthe, do nothing in uar ticular and do u very well, until fortune throws in their way enough Of Il, "dlthy" with which to purchase c. stock of whites when they place ;hrusslve. unrsserved.y ID the hands oi the tickl, goddess and await the result with 6 stoIcism born of long experience.
 The recent article ln tae Herald alleg ing the c0rrUptness ID the Marshsrs o.. ice created Eoneutary ripple, but al was aGalu tranquil when it Was learned that these grave charges @ were tOrmu- lated by late deputy whom G. Cleve land, Esq, had dIspieased by leaving out on the cold doorstep of the party while his more fortunate rival was ID. vIted to walk ID and bRSk in the bright sunshine of political favor.
 70 Al talnty Of politics have worked many changes about the court house. We set democratic judge holding down seat originally constructed for one of the opposite political faith, and If all SC. counts be true be fits II Es suugly as q it had been male for hlm. The forme- clerk Of the court occupies a position as deputy under the new hp2oiutee. u-li- illustrating that old scrlptural truth The tire; sha.. be last and the iasi first"
 The most remarkable feature. how ever, of PLeuII k Iis real estate agents. They occupy all the available offices IL the cIty. and each claims 10 rep.eseu- four or i've hundred thousand do!.ars worth o! the choicest land n the valley. Ot course they advertise very lIbersLg with the local papers, gu1 It !s but natural that the papers shou!L elOsEyOT Co protect them from the 1t tle agents who dance about the EaSErl edge and attempt to jo business with out advertising Therefore We are DO. SuTpIis l Co learn from pamph!e;. freely distributed, and from local Do tces continually being published, ths- the 'oDly genuine, gll-woOl- and ga yard wide agents are these whose advertise ments appear ID our columns.
 Ite great questions which are aCif- G;ing the public mind gt present are. when will the railroad be built. EuD when will lheuIz become the caplis city: i dUCbt as 10 tEe ultimate &C., complishuent oi these grand schemes is indignantly secuted. and the bare IL. considered rRukest treason bv al! loyal Phenicans. The only guestioI admissible is simply one of time: som one year, but the majority q pfct c. hear the shrieS of the l0corr. lve whistle, and the rumble of the car wheels within the next SIX months. aft P Th;ch 2; Is confidently expected Pheuix VIII at once bee ne the metropolis D.
