O1Nc1NNATI has taken anew departure, The following ordinance has boen en- acted by the board of aldermen and council: AN ORDINANCE~NO, 3474, To late the sale of beer and native wine on Sunday. Be it ordained by the Common Council of the City of Cincinnati: SwerioN 1. That the sale of hoer and native wine on the first day of the weck, commonly called Sunday, bo and the samo is hereby por- mitted 8ne. 2, That all ordinances and parts of ordinances conflicting with this ordinance be and the same are hereby repealed. Sko. 3. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after the earliest period allowed by law. Passed August 10, A. D. 1883, & L. L. SADLER, Prosident Board of Councilmen, 8. R. SMITH, , President Board of Aldormen. Attest: Epwin HeNpersoN, City Clerk. The oarlist period allowed by law is the 10th day of September. After that date champagne, Jamaica rum, gin, sour mash and old Irish rye will bo labelled and on #ale in Cincinnati every Sunday as native wines. Tae last legislature of Colorado, follow- ing the good example of Ohio, Pennsyl- vania and California, has enacted a law regulating primary elections, As might have bosn expected there is a good deal of kicking against this by the Denver ward bummers and repeaters Whose rights aud liberties havo beon trampled on. But the honest and reputabl> men of all parties are heartily in favor of the primary olection law, and will see to it that it is rigidly enforced. ‘We would have had such a law in Ne- braska four years ago if the political managers of the U. P. and B, & M. roads had Rept their hands off. Two years ago tho state senate passed the bill for purifying primary elections aund it was again pigeon-holed. Had that bill passed and gone into effect thero might have been some chance of reform within the republican party. As it is the pfirty machinery acting through packed prima- ries and bogus caucus returns, defeats every offort to nominate honest “and re- putable men on a ringing platform. bolting and third party movements. Tunes weeks ago the ‘‘sandstone nine" of the council rejected the bid wmade by Tur Bee for city advertising, although its bid was way below all other compoti- The publishers of Tk Ber offered to insert advertisements for the city for one and a half cents per line, for which all other patrons pay us from five to ten cents per line. 'We had no desire to got the contract at those rates,and made that very low bid because we knew it would be rejected. We simply sought to show up the stupid malice of the jobburs and rogues to whom the people of Omaha have temporarily entrusted the manage-| » ment of their business, 1t turned out tors, to official duties, as the true test of meri- torious promotion. It is passing strange, however, that tmaster GGeneral Gresham'’s new broom as yot failed to reach the railway mail ice in this section, maha is one of the most important tres of postal distribution in the country. At the gateway of the great highway that carries the bulk of the transcontinental mails, as well as the maiis to and from Australia, China and Japan, Omaha has long been the head- quarters of one of the chiefs of the rail- way mail sorvico, This chief has super- visory control over a small army of rail- way postal clerks, Very naturally the efficiency of the postal servico in this must largely depend upon the compotency, energy and vigilance of the chief. Postmaster General Gresham will doubtless be surprised to learn that tho railway mail service in this city has been without a head for more than a year, and in consequence of the most shameful neglect, is in a condition bordering on re- volt. General discontent, provails among the route agents and postal clerks in the division, and thero is an utter lack of disciplino. How could it bo otherwise. Paul Van- dervoort, the chief of the railway mail service, has been away from his post of duty for nearly fifteen months—and dur+ ing that time the duties devolving upon him have been performed by subordi- nates who are notoriously incompetent, negligent and worthless. During many months, before he be- came commander of the Grand Army, Vandervoort spent almost his entire tigne traging around the country, sotting the pins for his elevation, and he openly boasted in his speech delivered last mgnth at the national reunion, that ho had trav- eled nearly every day for twelve months and visited every state from Maine to Oregon. Paul Vandervoort was on the pay roll of the railway: mail service, and also on the pay roll of the Omaha post- office during all that time, while he ren- dered no service whatever to the govern- ment. Why did this man draw pay when he was notoriously rendering no service? Why was he allowed to draw a salary as clerk of the Omaha postoffice when he nover was employed in that capacity? Why did the postoffice department allow Vandervoort to draw higher pay than is allowed by the postal regulations to any head clerk in fhe railway mail service? Since when has the postoffice depart- ment become a pension bureau? Under what law and under what authority is Vandervoort kept on two pay roils while he is junketing around the country? Out of respect for the Grand Army of the Republic, which he has imposed on and disgraced, we have borne the damaging irregularitios and mismanagement of the railway postal service without complaint during Vandervoort'’s incumbency as Grand Army commander. But more than a month has passed since he was retired at Denver, and still he remains section has not improved. The demand only covers actual wants because lower prices are still expected. On the whole the trade outlook is not at all discouraging for the great centres of manufacture and commerce, and it certainly bids to be quite favorable in our own section, Tur Philadelphia Press quotes, with apparent approval, a Chicago Zimes edi- torial that expresses grave fears as to the practical result of merging tho telegraph system with the postal In the same number of The Press we note an interesting London letter about the Brit- ish postal service, from which we quote the following extract: The great and growing popularity of the postal telegraph is shown by figures equally conclusive, for the number of mitted during the year wa 26, an increase over the pre- ceding twelve months of 746,165, nervice, It now turns out that Shapira did not strike a bonanza when he found the musty old parchment that was repre- sented as an original copy of the book of Deuteronomy. An expert connccted with' the British museum pronounces the document a forgery. Mr. Shapira ought to change his name to Saphira, just to be in accord with eternal fitness of things. Munrar HALSTEAD has the nightmare. He has gone wild over the thought that Roscoo Conkling wants to be president. All this comes from taking stock in a canard that was telegraphed from the Yellowstone Park some days sgo. Hal- stead is so excited that he discusses Conk- ling's candidacy in all seriousness in a half column editorial in the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazetle, O11, is always struck several times a week in every state in the Union from Now York to Nebraska, as long as crude hovers in the neighborhood at £1.10 per barrel.—[Philadelphia Zimes.

Father Callan, an eminent Catho- lic divine, returned recently from the Western Shoshone Indian Agency, where he has -been employed for the paat four months as teacher under a commission from the Departinent of the Interior. Father Callan was formerly of the pasto- rate of Marysville, but for a short time previous to the appointment at the ency was stalioned at St. Mary's Church in this city. In conversation with a Chronicle representative yesterday he gave a graphic description of his works and experiences during his four months' stay. THH WRSTERN SHOSHONE INDIAN AGENCY. Is situated in Duck valley, Elko county, and braces a track of “land 29 miles square, or having an area of ot 400 square miles: The reservation is about 125 miles from Elko and extends northward into Idaho territory, a section five miles wide lying within this territory. The nerth- erly border of the reseavation is about 75 miles from Silver City, the metropolis of nouthern Tdaho, The agency is watered | by the Owyhee river, which runs| through the valley ; from south to north, The stream is of refreshing coolness and teems with fish. The school building for the education of both sexes consists of a large two-story structure of adobe. In the northern wing are the kitchen and teacher’s room. The kitchen is large enongh to accomo- odate thirty boarders. The school-room is liberally supplied by the government with books, maps, charts; globes: etc: The average daily attendance is 30 schol- ars—20 males and 10 females, The aver- o of the former i3 12 years and of 13 years. The progress they have is extraordinary. They study made geography, arithmetic, reading, writing, and in fact all the English branches, usu- ally taught in the primary Pnd grammar it departments of a public school. ~ Ten of the pupils have gone through the first four rules of arithmetic, can write a good business hand, and read in the sixth reader. They have a passion for art and excel in drawing and painting. They have also a great love for music, and are able to accompany the organ of their teacher in many beautiful and difficult pieces. They are all educated in the Erinci{:len of the Catholicreligion. Ten oys have been trained up to serve as acolytes. They are dressed in nice altar suits and acquit themselves as creditably as any ten boys in white congregation possibly could. All sing at divine ser- vice before and after Mass and chant with sweetnéss in Latin_tire Litany of | our Lady of Loretto They have the most profound respect for their teacher. His authority is undispated and his word 18 the law. Their X GENKRAL DECORUM In a school and at_play would put to the blush the pupils of many of our public | schools. The Indians of the reservation tried community life for four years. Not find- ing it satisfactory, owing to the large number of able-bodied men who were unwilling to work, they resolved to settle on farms by dividing up their reservation To this end the government has la purchased and forwarded to the rese tion' nine farm wagons with harness, ete., two mowers, one rake and a number of plows. Mm\{ of the heads of families have houses built of lumber, and some of logs in which they milk from two to three cows, raised hogs, chickens, etc. The ndians have sown about 200 acres of wheat this year which will soon be har- vested and yield an ample reward for their industry. All of the Shoshones have a garden of two or three acres in which are raised excellent potatoes. peas, turnips, parsnips, onions and other vege- tables—-the seed being furnished by the government. The Infiinns are well clad, well fed and have advanced many de- grees in civilization, Their hunting grounds abound with deer, antelope and other game. The buildings consist of the school house, arent's house, black- smith shop, farmer’s residence and a flouring mill which is run by a steam engine. The aborigines have a staff of native police appointed from their number by the government and paid$:7.50 per quar- ter. These policemen aro armed with pistols for summarily enforcing order, should it become necessary. In addition | to these, two Indian interpreters are em- ployed by the government at the same salary, and a blacksmith who is teaching the trade to an Indian youth is paid $40 per month, Father Callan spoke in eulogistic terms of John 8. Mayhugh, United States In- dian agent at the reservation, who, he said, has done and is doing all in his power for tho amelioration of the In- dians’ condition and their advancement in civilization® He makes no false prom- ises, and they consequeritly know that he speaks the truth. TIE TREATY between the government and Shoshones expires next October. At that time all annuities will cease, and the aborigines will be forced to rely on their own re- sources, and on whatever appropriations congress may be pleased to make, It is Father Callan’s belief that if the govern- ment deals with them in a generous spirit, in a short period of time they will be able to make their own living inde- pendent of others, They are happy and contented, and declare through their chiefs thet the highest aim a:d ambitions are to live on amicable terms with the white men, Father Callan will return about the 23d of the present month. The princi- pal object of his coming to this city is to solicit aid for the Indian children, in the shape of religious books, pictures, balls, tops, marbles and other toys. At the rato the contributions are at present pouring in from the Comstock boys, the roverend father fears he will have to churter a special car in which to convey the articles to the reservation. Hon, John A, Logan, Scnator From Minois, | John A. Logan was born of 1 entage in Jackson county, 11l., February 1 The infrequent sessions of the | [ in the new settlement where he lived led his father to take upon himself his early education. ; Upon the declaration of war between the l'nitud States and Mexico, he volun- teered; was made lieutenant of the First inois infantry, and was for a time adjutant of his regiment. At the close of the war he studied law with his uncle, Alexander M. Jonkins, In 1840 he was clerk of Jackson county. Bubsequently ho completed his legal studies at the Louisville university, and was admitted to the bar in 1842 His popularity may be inferred from the fuct that in the year of his graduation he was elected to the state legislature, and in the next to the office of prosecut- | ing attornoy of the Third judicial dis- trict, holdi that office wuntil 1857, =t SDAY, ish par- | [f=sem ) FOR PAIN, ‘I 28, 1883, MARRY RicH. @ This s very good advice, girls, §f yoteget a healthy man with the cash, but if you secure a prevish, ner ous, dyspeptic fellow you are certainlyin hard lnck, for what good is he excopt towear your life out with his grumblings and Iamentations?

And remember, Rirls, this splendid medicine Is just as good fer the opposite wex; our stomach, for an impure breath and for nervousness we most heartily recommend it. Burdock Blood Bitters are uncxcelled in thelr spec- inlties. Mr. R. Gibbs, of Buffalo, N. Y., writes; “Hearing your Burdock Blood Bitters favorably spoken of, I was induced to watch their effects, and find that in chronic diseases of the blood, liver and Kidneys, your bitters have been signally marked with succe have used them myself with best results, for torpidity of the liver; and in the case of a friend of mine suffer. He was elected to the state legislature in 1753, 1856 and 1857, and was presidential elector on the Buchanan and Breckin- ridge tick. In 1858 and 1860 he was elected repre- sentative in congress. In July, 1861, he left his seat in the extra session of congress and joined the Union troops on their way to the disas- trous battle of Bull Run, and was one of the last to leave the field. He was made colonel of the Thirty-first Illinois infantry, in September, and in November met the foe at Belmont, where his horse was shot beneath him during a successful bayonet charge. He led the charge on Fort Donelson, was wounded and compelled to leave the field for sev- eral months, In March, 1862, he joined Grant at Pittsburg Landing and was appointed brigadier general of volunteers, During the summer of 1862, he was urged for congress, but replied: *‘I have entered the field to die if need be for this government, and never expect to return to peaceful pursuits until the object of this war of preservation has become a fact established.” His bravery in Grant's northern Mis- sissippi movements met with a promotion to a rank of major general. At Vicks- burg his column led the entrance on June 25, and he was the first military governor. He succeeded Sherman at the head of the Fifteenth Army Corps in November, 1863, and when McPherson lost his life on the 22d of July, Logan succeeded him aad commanded the Army of the Tenn- essee with the samy ability and Auccess which had characterized his command of smaller numbers, He was with Sherman on his ‘‘March to the Sea,” remaining with him until Johnson's surrender. From the close of the war until 1871 cket, he occupied various position; honor, which attended his frequent. tions as Representative in his stat Wash- ington. In 1871 and ags 1879 he was senator from Illinois. Senator Logan has played” a brilliant part in the political history of the United States during the last twenty-five years. His speeches in the house and in the senate are famous for their impressive power. His heroism and courage, his eloquence and ability are attributes, of which no one has ever questioned his possession. Give It Time, Utica Herald (Rep.) The carrying trade must follow the f producess and the masters of the markets, At present Great Brittan prob- ably collects 10 per cent from our com- m, conveyed in her bottoms. She is building ships on the Clyde, where prof- its are stated by British authorities to be at only 2} per cent. Our mechanics are not content with that rate. They are, therefore, building railroads and” their equipments and establishing a domestic trade marvelous in its extent and variety, and already overflowing iato all oceans. Butour flag willin due timo return to the sea. Any foreign conflict n which Britain shall engage will restore our ships to the waters. Without war the energy of our people will win conquests in the sphere where they have before won so many triumphs. The sheer force of our own commerce will compel the construc- tion of ships. Weare fast rushing to the front in trade with all the world. When we get agood ready we will take the profit of carrying our own merchandise. But while we can make 10 per cent in railroads and 6 per cent in manufactures, we will not seck 24 per cent in ship-build- ing, Ono of these days some American will build a ship of a new fashion which will run faster and cheaper than the pres- ent vessels, and then competition will be- gin in earnest. Give us twenty years to become the greatest commercial nation on the globe, and then leisure will come to float our flag on every ocean.
