Taey believed they could find plenty of goul, able men who would be gldd to accept Mr. Randuloh’s position ata salary of $5.000 per annum, instead of $10,000, as "the Intter doubtlces received, and do the work just as¢ well. In these tight times it was the im- preasion that the assessments And expenses of the membiers should be rediiced a8 & matter of Justice to them, and for the good of the organ- fzation. ‘There was another matter broached that some of the more prudent ooes did not appear to rellsh beiug made public, at present at least. In the matier of ACCONMODATIONS, it seems that there has been for s long time back & kick smong many of the members about baviog to climb so high'to get into the grand trading hall, which it was stated the Board patd ap sonual tent of $20,000 to the Chamber of Commerce for.

During 1870 and 1877 Waldron received about £300,000 from the County Treasurer of Cook County belongiog to the village, besides other sums from other sources. 'A greal part of these moneys was deposited with the Fifth Natlonal Baok, and it is charged the Baok knew these moneys belonged to the village and should boused wholly In the business of the village, and that they did not beloog to Waldron fnaividually, A considerable part of the moneys was deposited to Watdron's indl- vidual nccount. In the spring of 1877 o new Bourd of Trustees was elected, who examined Waldroo's accounts, and found he should have to his credit £53,247, which amount he claimed was deposited to his credit {n the Fifth Natfonal Bank, and he was then reappolnted.

HOOSIERS IN MISSISSIPPL How Some Indlaniuns Ontwitted s Natlvew One of SBenator Lamar's Stories, Washington Corresponence Roston Herald. Not long ago a company of people from Indl- ana went to Misslssippiand settled there, taking their stock, wagons, etc., with them. They were well recclved, and fu one fnatance at least they have held their own apalust the methods of & native. I willtell you tho story, as nearly @8 I can, in Benntor Lamar's own words. “Stowers was, before the War,an overseer on Jake Thompsou'’s plantation, and, having ne family and & good salary, eaved nearly all that he earned. Thompson was his banker, and ad. vised him about fnvestments, so that in 1365 ne found himself a wealthy man for our parte. 1 supposs ho had $40,000 or 850,000, This toney he invested [n land and stock, There §s no bet- ter fnvestment in the world, Just before Ileft ‘home for Washington, & year ago last October, [ saw Stowers, and he was In the best of spirits. He {s an ignorant, profanc man, and he sald to me (I omit his oaths) You ought to come down and sce my place. Gotalot o' thom In- dlaniana working on mv laud. Never saw any- thing like them. They do twice ns much work as niggers. Naw some o' them here in town, ond told them that Ihad u hieap o’ land, and that if they would cowe down and work {tI wonld put {n the Seld and the mules, and they might do the work and give me ane-fourth of the corn crop. As fag cotton, [ agreed to give them fifteen acres of land for every bale of cote ton thuy.would ralse aud giva me, .‘&}..Wnll' ur,.hhct cjmo down with the.r mules and wagong, and they've been putting in some oats. You ought to'scs that fleld, They nlowed 1t one way and then the other; thoy went over it with o hacrow, and me i T doa't be- leve that, when my back was turned, thoy went over it with a fine-tooth comb, 1t is as smuotn ssafloor. They've been ulowlm&nu my corn land, t0o, 1 tell you they do tivice as much work in a day ns the niggers do, and doits sight botter, and they get more work out of thy mules, They don't bang them about, and the feed and water them rkulnrv. The stock actually grows fat uader it. Why, sir, Leven let them plow with ny ald horse Bob, whom no nlgger could get to luok through a collar, and n this kind of weather thoy et a hieap o' work out of him and and don't turn o halr, And the fences thoy've put upl They're horse-high, bull-strong, and oig-thlck. They’d* butld the fences fifteen rajls high butthat they would keep out the atock.’ And old Stowers was the hop- vlest mav o the mnnc{. Well, when I went home last June T found that the bogs were laughinz at Stowers about something that he was unwhling to spenk of, nud it wos only when I bzo an opportunity to tatk to hin vrivately nnd _urged him, that could get an explunation, Finally be broke out with: *D—n the Indianians,’ aid this is the etory he told me. 1 give it ucerly in his own words: 4 About the time them oats began to come up the cussed Indianlans came to me oneluy and sald thuy were abcut out of provisons and according to our sgreement, would Hice an ad- vauce, ‘Then one of *em pulled vnt of lis of a paper with wrlting on it ** What's thisi aaked, ** It's s lst of the things wa ueed, the: sald, It was rather hard on the old man to as! him to read writing ot all,’ sald Lamar; but after getting on lus spectacies and spellinyg vub the words with much labor, he finully be- wan to comprehend the paper. The' fret 1tein was a barrel of flour, and then there wers spives aud muny other kiuds of groceries, besldo some things tiat Btowers never heard of before. “Why, sir,” suid he, ** you won't bellevs it, but there was Lwo kinds of sugur, aid lots of tixins’ for the women, Woll, ohe of "em wald thes' }ke to have the zoods as suon as possible, mud T told him 1'd sce bim 40 decp thut the whites of bis eyes wouldn't shuw befors he got !them. ‘Thoy fnsisted that [ had agreed to furnish pro- vistons, und [ asked them if they wouldn't have horses and varriages and drivers and footmen of anyehing alse of that kind, 1 gald ['d give them 8 pound and three-guarturs of bacon and a peck of corn_aplece, and tuat, with the sweet-putas toos and cow-peas, they could get alupg as well as the niggers did, Then they suld they wouldu's stay, and 1 told them to go, and the quicker the hetter, and that if J causht any of them on my 1and azain, 1'd shout the top of thelr heads off. - b4 Well, they pavked up thelr things fn thelr wagons, sl as thoy started off they called mo old man, ana aald they'd come and harvest tho outs when they weea ripe, 1 told thom 1 pyt ® chsrgo of Jeadt luto thein {0 they did, \When the vats were about rines and [ wus getting down mv scythies and sharpesing e up, one of Yy ulzgers cute runuing up to the huuse oue dav und suld that the lndisuians were down i the wattfleld, I ot my pistol and sturted down, and sure enough they were, six of ‘em, nw they liad uine guus $i thelr wagous and & big thint that looked as though it mizht have & can clopard fu ft.
