Clean Up Your Premises.

The season of the year has arrived when it
becomes the duty of everybody to thoroughly
clean up their premises and none should be
backward in beginning this important work.
The alleys and backyards are often times
made places in which to deposit rubbish of
various kinds during the winter and early
spring, and this should be all removed.
The sanitary condition of our city should re-
ceive more attention than it has in past
years. There is scarcely yard in town but
what has some rubbish that might be re-
moved without detriment to the good looks
of the surroundings, and in most cases it
would result in vast improvement and
benefit by such removal. OF course some
parts of the city are worse than others, but
there is none too much cleanliness an any To-
cality that we are aware of. The Board of
Health should enforce the laws regarding
this subject, and those who begin now and
thoroughly clean up their premises will bene-
fit themselves as we'll as the entire city, and
save the trouble of having to be forced to do
so later.

The Post onace Muddle.

The squabble for the post Office here has at
last placed the Republicans in a feverish
condition. The announcement from Washing
ton on Saturday that Congressman Boothman
had recommended Capt. L. G. Randall for
the position threw the gang who run with the
"marsheen" into frenzy bordering upon
lunacy. The announcement had no sooner
been made than kilograms few thick and
fast, most of them importuning Senator
Sherman to not have the appointment con-
frmed, and to await the receipt of letters
which would disclose startling facts! While
the gang generally accepted the matter as
settled, some of them we're loud in saying
that the Captain would never be confirmed,
and one or two, more knowing than the
others, gave significant wink, as much as to
say that they understood the whole proceed
ing! The proceeding is supposed to be that
it was never expected the Captain would ac-
cept the appointment, but to vindicate him il
was to be offered and he was expected to
decline, when the position would be handed
over to one of the other aspirants- Belknap
for instancel But the atmosphere is full OF
stories, and it is only conjecture which will
prove to pc true.

Postage Stamps Good Until Used.

Persons having olG postage stamps some
times think they are rendered worthless by
the issue of new ones. This is not so. The
only obsolete stamps are those Of the issues of
1S47 and 1851, very few of which are now in
existence, In the North, and these are gener-
ally worth more than their value for collec-
tors. The issues of 1861, 1863 and 1870 are as
good in the payment of postage as the new
issues. The reason the issues of 1S47 and 1851
are not accepted is because large amounts Of
these we're outstanding in the South at the
time of the rebellion, and the present holders
of them probably secured them without rem
dering an equivalent to Uncle Sam.

our hand. Mr.. Randall was most excellent
