Publisher TaE President has gone to Long Branch and all applications for the Postmaster-Generalship must be forwarded to that place. em—— Down the valley of death march- ed the sixhundred, We mean the six hundred heroic clerks who have Just been discharged by the Depart- ‘ments at Washington. —— Free banking based on specie re- --pfionhthamotmoflonno and that will be the motio of ~ Nebraska Republicans ‘whea they speak through their con- wvention in August. — THE decision rendered by Judge Dillon in the two railway land tax cases, will put at least a quarter of » million of dollars in cash into the local and Stste Treasuries in Ne- braska. Much of the credit for ‘working up the legal bearings of the ‘case are due to Judge Briggs, whose elaborate arguments before the Cir- cuit Court are commended on all hands. 3 ‘WHILE Henry Ward Beecher keeps mute as the harp on Tara’s walls Miss Laura Cuppy Smith of Omaha renown has let loose her tongue to tell the people of Boston about Beecher's bad havits, and how all the first society of ‘Ply- mouth” are doing ditto, and then she points s moral to this tale by an appeal in behalf of the' ennob- ling practice of “free love.” — THE spirit of reform Is sbroad. The Georgia Democracy, in State ‘world’s currency, to wit, speoie. —— TEIRTY THOUSAND of the smaller postmasters, who heretofore had fry “ ‘towaita whole year for the adjust- . ment of their salaries, will hence- . forth receive their pay quarterly under the new postal law. If, during the year, the income of their offices increases, they will be entitled to a corres- ment gets the benefit of it, as it ‘very.properly should. — ACCORDING to “the ‘Washington _ed for & week past, every member of the Cabinet giving -his -entire-| OvEs five million dollars in cur- rency surrendered by suspended national banks, is now available to bankers who wish to establish banks | of circulation.

This decision affirms the right of auy State or county to tax the lands for which patents have been issued to the company. On the other hand, Judge Dillion decrees that lands for which no patents have been jssupd to the company are ex- empt from local or State taxation, This is & very important decision, espectally to the counties within the ten-mile limit of the Union Pacific Jsnd grant. A more extended re- view of this decision is, however, deferred owing to pressure of other matter upon our columns. — As will be seen by an article on “Missouri River Barges,” repub- lished in another column, from the St. Louls Democrat, there is a good prospect that the barge experiment will be tried during the present sea- son, The cheapest tramsportation route for the great grajn region in the Missouri Valley, will always be the all water route. If the barge ex- periment shall prove & success, as we have every reason to an- the bulk of our wheat export, will find its way to the seabcard market through the Missouri river. It is gratifying to observe that St. Louis 1s awakening to the importance of the early solution of the.barge prob- lem, If the Star steambost line shall, as is intimated by our 8t. Louis contenporary; establish a line of grain barges between Omata and St. Louls, they will encounter no difficulty in procuring all the grain thoy can carry during the [present season. cmm—— BUSINESS. Prospects for a Lively Pall Trade. (From R. G. Dunn & Co’s Reference Book for July.) The circumstances of che past six ‘months have not been favorable to trade. - The effects of the panio of Iast September have lingered longer than was anticipated by many; but these effects have been more t in trade than disaster. Col denness and violence of the t E H EEEE L § ths, there have absolute- fewer failures in number, certainly fewer in prominence, for the same period in the years, On the contrary, .EE;E and country. It is safe to say that the internal mercantile indebtedness in the country to-day is no’ more than two-thirds what it was at this time Iast year. Indeed, so great has the hampered trade as any want of con- fidence in the stability of the coun- try, or the safety o The fright that the debtor class received in September has had its effect, and v inence of the failures ‘business has suffer- | heeded. 1, then, it is good to_be reducing ¢ it is wise to owe two dol- Jars where last year three were due six months of dull times ftor has access to prominent railway suthorities, predicts the early disso- Iution of the Jowa pool.

Austin is invested with myriads of minute insectsof the gnat family, The" Reveille sfi's they are so small as to be invisible to the naked eye, and persons attacked are unaware of the fact until they discover an eruption_on their cuticle, which canses them to imagine that they have broken out with the small- pox. A panther recently visited the residence of W. Hudson, near Port Gamble, W. T., and carried off a alittle three-year old girl who was aying at the door. The girl's rother gave the alarm, and together with his mother, succeeded in mak- ing such a noise that the beast drop- ped the child and fled. A white child has been born to a negro couple living in Wilmington, N.C. Its form and features are per- fect up to the bridge of the nose, the chin, mouth, and nasal organ being not only well formed, but really bandsome in their symmetry and general appearance; b;l‘,’p eom‘x;xenc- with the eyos, the faco gud head has the appodratioo. of an anlmal more resembling a white bear than anything else of the animal species. A strange freak of nature has come to light in Beadford, Wis. John Laird, of that place, owned a hen which had a swelling at the right side of its head, just below and a little back of its ear. It in in size as the chicken grew, till it was two years old. At this time it had developed to the smpflrflon of agood sized egg, and had the ap- pearance of 3 carbuncle. Last Sat- urday he killed the ohieken and found that the swelling was loose at the side of thehead. On cutting it n he found it was identical with the yolk of a cooked egg. It is difficult to sceount for this strange phenomenon, but to the facts of the case, reliable persons are willing to testify. The germ of the yolk must Dave been deposited in an immature state with the egg before the chick was hatehed, and after beingloiged at the side of the head, it musthave as nutriment _for g rowth the albumen, eto,, from sur- rounding parts of the body from the head, similarto the way otheryolks form in their normal condition and place, This would imply a strange change of the functions of the body where the yolk was located. The wonder at Winchendon, Mass., just now isa island of about five acres, which is voya- ging around Lake Monomonauk, a sheet of water of about 2,500 acres in extent, lying partly in Winch- endon, and partly in Ringe, N. J. It formerly claimed a residence in ‘Winchendon, but toward the latter end of May the little island was, one morning; discovered to have changed its and moved about two miles up the lake beyond the State line; then it floated back nearly to ifs own , only a day or two after, to sail north again. Its soil is firm, and many good peopl e have bed it by by boats and tnvalfl over it, the entire surface past | is covered by a thrifty growth ot vegetation, consisting of grass,eran berry vines, bay and wi bushes; there are more than 400 trees by count, varying from five to twenty-five feet In height,scattering over its surface. Strong southerly winds probably assisted the Island in its wanderings,and the unusually waterin the lake perhaps par- ted it from its ancient moorings. The largest black rhinoceros ever exhibited in the world was added to the collection of wild beasts in Barnum,s Hippodrome, last ‘week The enormous mountain of flesh welghs 9,500 pounds. This is 2,200 pounds more than the largestrhinoe- erosin the Zoological Gardens in London. His body 1s encased in a heavy leather-like Iide, which overlaps at the joints, making folds nearly two inches thick. His legs are and stumpy, and his tail resombles the black snakes used by teamsters in the Western country. His head is covered ‘with the same thick hide which envelopes his body, and about his eyes and earsit is piled up like plates. The animal had a large, sharp horn, which projected from his snont just above his nostrils, but the monster’s head was chained down, and in spite of his angry snorts and en- deavors to get away, his horn was sawed off close to his snout. A cage upon wheels was made on’ purpose for the rhinoceros’ accommodation.

Bncampment at West Point has Forty-five young ladies were grad- uated last week st the Cincinnati NormalSchool for teachers. The Rolla School of Mines has Just graduated three young engi- nees at jts first annual commence- ment. Gov. Beveridge officially prc- claims that the Southern Illinois Normal University will be formally opened on the 1st of July. Children who attend Boston schools average half a pint more brains per head than children who attend school in other parts of the world. The Convention of Indiana Coun- ty School Superintendents laid on inst the 'educational provisions the civil rights bill. The Philadelphia school authori- ties have under serjous considera- tion the practizability of establish- ing an art and industrial school in that eity.
