ST. Alta:-There is rich and
racy irony in Ben Buffers eulogizing
Andrew Jackson on the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans. Had
Butler served under jackson, "Old
Hickory" would either have hanged
him for peculation or had him shot
for cowardice. Imagine Jackson Civ
ing countenance to "rhe Hero of Fort
Fisher" or to any man with the po-
litical record of B. F. Butler!
Cheyenne Live Stock Journal:-In
selecting breeding stock we would al
ways want to know whether they are
from a family noted for fertility.
This is an inherited quality, and can
not be too we'll established. Like all
valuable qualities in any domestic
animal it is easily lost by bad manage
ment. It is also desirable that the
parent stock be of quiet disposition
and even temperament.
Alta:-The old and knotty question
Of social precedence has broken loose
again in Washington. The Presi-
dents daughter WAS recently made to
outrank the Vice Presidents wife at a
White House reception, and now
there is social war on hand of the
largest size. The rule insisted on by
Mrs. Morton is that the wife of a
possible President is bigger woman
than the daughter of an actual Presi-
dent, unless that daughter is the mis-,
tress Of the White House, and Mrs
Morton is right.
The trustees have ordered two de-

account of stress of weather. We

other, and closed all departments
until the weather is such that the
children can attend without end an,

tendance will necessarily be very
light, and we are not in favor Of con
tinuing the one department for the
benefit of the very few who will at
tend. Close up the whole business
until the weather is such that pupils
can attend.

WARRINGTON, D. c.. Feb "a, 1880.
Almost the sole topic of conversation, not
only at the Capitol, but in this whole city
to-day, Is the possible site of the worlds fair,
upon the selection of which the House is
now engaged. At two o'clock this evening
Washington and ST. Louis seem out of the
race, and Culcago far in the lead of New
York, though the latter's friends say they
have not yet put forth their full strength.
II Chicago and New York do not trip each
other and thereby give the race to Washing
ton, there is some talk of there being no
fair at all, as the Senate, most of whose
members live here, is IN favor Of Washing
Son, and, If this city be not selected, will,
according to the talk referred to, be disposed
TO vote for no fair. a syndicate of Senators
who got an option on six millions worth OF
city property, hoping the fair would be held
here, are considerably down hearted at this
hour at the bad prospect of the frnition OF
that hope. The House commenced voting
on the site as soon as the session began.
On the first call all the Virginians voted for
Washington except Mr.. Venable, who voted
for New York.

the destruction OF the happiness OF house
holds in the South by men who were the
