landed at New York in 1856, lived in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey five
years. From thence he moved to
Georgetown, Kentucky, where he sub

and became tried and true soldi er of
that famous chieftain, General John
Morgan, serving through that distin-

the question of secession. After the
close of hostilities he came with other
friends to Waverly, Lafayette county,

sides, peaceful, law-abiding citizen
and a good neighbor. A few weeks

of his friends to join them in pooling
chances in the November drawing of

he has, as one of four in the club, come
into possession of one-fourth Of one

Bur few months ago the people of

hostility against each other. The
fiercest hatred existed between two
rival towns, both of which wanted to

IT is regarded as probable that the
senate will refuse to confirm the nom
ination of Judge Adkins as the success
sor of Postmaster Shelly of Kansas
City. The fact that Shelly was dis
missed because he favored the election
of republican congressman against
Mr.. Tarsney, will hardly be held by a
republican senate as sufficient to
warrant it in confirming democratic
successor so near to General Harrison's
Inauguration. 1t will prefer to not en-
barrass him by compelling him to vio-
late civil service rules in order to give
Kansas City a republican postmaster.

You can't please everybody. No

would naturally be that none but a
very unreasonable fellow could object
to the mild and gracious weather we
are having, weather during which
flowers left in the earth outdoors to

though it were May instead of the 18th
of January. Well, such conclusion
is wrong. There is class of men
who. if Directing would accomplish
anything. would soon drive the mer-
curry down until it almost solidified in
the bulb. We allude to the ice men.
They are beginning to grow discoura-
ged, and fear that if a change does not

be able to fill their ice houses this win

credit to Sam Jones in his best moods.
Indeed, a stranger reading it in pam

We see no reason why Sol, if he has
wind and bottom to keep that gait up,
might not succeed in clerical role as
well as Sam. So far is he from being
an imitator, his originality is quite
striking and his use of the Yernacular
is quite as breezy, crisp andamusing as
