FROM TIE ElRST WARD.

APuiut vi our WNfuefS can feNiiHe
the meaning of the word prosperity,
, and owing to the temporary shut
down of the Rubber Mill, they think
the times are worse now than ut any
time since the war. But when we take
into consideration that there has not
been good man idle this whole sum
mer IN our ward, who was willing to
work, ii mustmeansomething more than
n hyword. overheard II man say,
Give us iifty-cent dollar it is bet
ter than none. Such silly talk makes
us turn pale with Indignation, rs it
seems out of all reason. OF course
we know this stop ut the Rubber Mill
is pretty tough upon those men, but
they all knew it was coming, and have
known II for the last four or five
months The good or bad times have
nothing to do with this shutdown.
Our friend. Mr.. Kcarns. is taking
quite an active part i'll politics again
this Fall and "Jackey knows
thing or two about politics. Some
times they try to down him, but this
they are not very successful in, as we
see him generally lining up ON one
side or the other, always ready for
business. of course, the old Lime
Kiln Club gave him the shake more
than a year ago, but he is now rallying
his forces for the coming conflict and no
doubt he will be making few politi-
cal speeches before the campaign is
over At any time we are expecting to
hear from him, heading some political
exposition with full sails set
The political question seems to ngi-
tate the minds of some of our best
thinking men There have already
been few wagers laid upon the gen
eral result of the election. 1t is
argued at Curb Stone Club meet
ings that the colored Republicans
have holted. This, we take for gran,
ted, will be of short duration. for
whatever legislation WAS enacted for
their benefit, always came through
the Republican party They we'll
known how much they are esteemed
by the Democratic party outside of
their votes and we don't think they
will be caught 30 easily through few
bushWackers, and We expect to see
our next GoNernorgo IN with n rousing
majority, regardless of these few color
ed boilers.
The election board started to make
their house to house canvas on Tues
day morning of last week, nj 10 o'clock
sharp.
The wheeling has been extra good
ON South Main street for the past few
weeks and the boys and girls seem To
enjoy the sport. The weather has
been very favorable for such paalime
aud the streets are in excellent con
diiion.
Celery ia reported in fine growing
condition by some of our ward celery
men, but the cabbage seems failure
on account of worms but our friend
Inns been giving them II dose of red
pepper and sulphur, which he says,
makes them turn NJ their toes. The
turnips are immense Toney says he
has two kegs of red pepper, mixed
with large pears, preserved for the
winter. These, he says, make n very
appetizing dish, but ns we have never
tested this complicated mixture, we
cannot pass Judgment upon it.
Garbage soup seems to be an inyit-
inc dish handed around at some of the
saloons rs an appetizer and an in
ducement to draw custom.
The First Ward was well rcpresen-
ted at the political meeting held on
Friday evening and paid strict nttcn
ton TO all that was said. They all
seemed pleased with the speaking.
The night was rather n damp one,
altho we think this meeting was Il
grand success, Judging by the atten
dance and orderly conduct of those
present
