them out of business in their To-

essary for local patrons to patron

the Bell people resorted to their
old method of reducing rates,
temporarily, when they ascertain

One of the finest tributes to the
country editor that has ever been
delivered was contained in a re-
cent address by Senator Chauncey
M. Depew before the New York
Association. Mr.. Depew said: 81
pay my respects to and express
my admiration for the country ed
itor. His lines are not cast in
places of the great and profitable
organs of the metropolis, whose
profits are reckoned often by the
hundreds of thousands of dollars
every year. But the country ed
itor lives in and is a part of his
community. His virtue is not so
much in what he prints as what he
refuses to print. He could easily
destroy the peace of his commun-
ity by admitting to his paper the
scandals and gossips of the neigh
bors. But he stands as a censor
and guardian of public morals, and
l know of no condition under
which the public is appealed to in
a certain measure where the utter
ance is so free from criticism as
the general tone of the country
press"
The following, relative to the
proposed consolidation of the Mis-
souri, land offices, appeared in
Tuesdays Globe Democrat, tele-
graphed from Washington, D. G.:
"One matter that has been held up
for several months on account of
the senatorial contest is the con-
templated consolidation of three
land offices in Missouri. At the
general land Office to-day it was
stated that the consolidation of the
three Offices at Ironton, Bonneville
and Springfield would probably
be effected soon. 1t was intimated
some time ago that this might be
done, but when the senatorial
deadlock occurred the matter was
dropped. The move is only n
of many in several states, in which
the public lands have dwindled to
a minimum, that are in contenpla-
ton by the general land office. 1t
is said the business of the Offices
at Ironton and Bonneville does not
Justify maintaining them longer
and that the business of both can
be easily handled at the Spring.

Last Friday evening-that be-
ing the close of st. Patrick's Day
the pupils of the Arcadia Col
lege gave an entertainment, under
the direction of the Sisters. 1t was
my good fortune to be there, along
with a few other favored VAL
legians. Promptly at 7:30-one
thing among the many L like in
the doings at the College, is, that
there are no waits and delays to
weary the anticipation of good to
come-at 1880 the first number was
given. The programme was ex-
clusivelv lrish-the say the
poems and the music. | append
