Mail by Rail or M ud..whichs

Mail by Rail or Mud-.W hich7
Within ten days or two weeks the
F., M. Il P. railroad will be completed
to Morgantown.
We presume that our people will
prefer to receive their mail by that
road rather than the mud road; I'M
less it be that they are so in love
with the pace of the old stage coach,
that their nerves would be unsettled
by anything SO sudden and fresh as
a mail by railroad.
Nevertheless, if they desire to
have mail by railroad it is time that
some steps were taken to bring about
that change. We presume that the
mail will continue to come by the
mud pike so long as our people are
content to have it. Nobody will,
probably, object n we do not. In
fact, if we are so easily satisfied, the
Post-ofiice Department may con-
clude to give us mail but three
times week, and send it by the
mud pike, too, if that is the cheapest.
The proper course, we suppose, to
effect change is to have new mail
route established by way of the F.,
M. IL p. The other route will not
necessarily be abolished, but will
continue to serve the way points,
while the Morgantown mail will be
sent by the railroad. We do not
know who are the proper parties to
move in the matter, but we think it
might well emanate from the Nor
gantown Postmaster. Let the ball
be started.

That precious little post office
plum is whitening and wasting on
the twig. Several waiting aspirants
have had it within reach, so it was
assumed, fer long time. But there
it hangs on the same old twig. The
hoar-frost has 'nipped it; the winds
have shaken it; the boys" have
dubbed it, but the plum is still
there, and looks like it might keep
over winter in good shape.
Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick. The 'boys" have been waiting
and holding their mouths open un.
der that plum, expecting it to fall
for so long a time that they have
naturally lost zest and snap. They
look rather belabored and out oil
sorts. They are ready to throw
clubs at the plum, even if it knocks
it out of their reach.
But it is bad policy for the "boys'
to lose their temper and Their
steadiness on the home-stretch
Now that the start has been made
and the curves have been turned, the
winning point in the race is to hold
a steady gait till you have passed
under the wire, even if you go under
second best; for if you fly off you
feet you are apt to be ruled out, ever
il you are first under the wire.
Be steady boys!

of young folks from your town,
among whom were, Misses Matte

reigned within, but sled load of
drunken galloots endeavored to force
their way in, but were prevented,
upon which they made the air ring
with their profanity and boisterous
conduct.
Lee Arnett, late of Villisca, Iowa,
gave this place short call Friday
evening and Saturday morning, but
failed to take in our Literary on ac-
count of having to make a special
callat town.

SALISBURY'S PREDICTION.

Lord Salisbury has contributed to The
Quarterly Review an unsigned article
which has been eagerly awaited as his
6nalfmanifesto. The author. does not,
however, state the Irish policy of the
Conservatives. He indicts Mr. Gladstone
as persistent political apostate, dis
carding by wholesale doctrines solemn "
advocated, and adopting totally new doc
trines whenever the shifting wind OF
popular favor seems to call for theln.''
He states that he once heard Cornwall
Lewis say that if Mr.. Gladstone should
ever become premier be would lead the
Liberal party to perdition. Referring to
Mr. Chamberlain, the author declares it
childish to think that the Conservatives
and Radicals will continue to act together
except in union against separation. In
conclusion he says: whether Mr..
Gladstone succeeds or fails in his present
enterprise, be will still leave a legacy of
woe to the country. If his plans he car
ried civil war will be certain, as surely
as an explosion follows the application of
the torch to the magazine. A foreign. war
is also possible. If bis plans be rejected
we shall forthwith pass into the most
critical stage of Irish and English his

WOMEN IN EUROPE.

Theodore Stanton, in recent letter to
The Index, gives the following facts con-
corning the progress of women in Europe:
The two first ladies in Stockholm to serve
on state committees are now the State
Girls School Board. One of these is
Baroness Adlerparre, the editor of The
Home Review. The progress in all the
Scandinavian countries is quite marked.
Mrs. Kowalewska is professor of mathe-
matics at the nor-State University of
Stockholm. The society for the protec-
tion of married women's property interests
has now added to its demands claim for
woman suffrage. Women's rights socie-
ties are being formed among the peasants
of Denmark.
NJ. Paul Bert, who has been sent by
France as mission to Tonquin, took a
French lady doctor as paid member of
the embassy.
SignOra Salazaro, an Italian author,
has just written her first work on the
woman question, advocating the broaden
ing Of the field of woman's work. The
Signoria is endeavorlng to establish a
school of arts for girls in Rome. Miss
Maria Farne, of Rome, has been ap
pointed by the Queen of Italy to be her
own physician. The good queen takes
an intelligent interest in the advance
ment of woman.
