After the mob had wreaked -their vengeance they went peacefully away. A Missouri negro wandered about three days without any brains In his head, and this fact Is considered of sufficient importance to telegraph throughout the country; but how many prwniinent politicians are allowed to roam about in the same manner the telegraph fails to mention. lip*Only seven of the northern States hold elections which are of any importance this fall. They are Massa­ chusetts, New York, New Jersey, Penn­ sylvania, Ohio, Iowa and Minnesota. Tliey all vote In November except Ohio, which votes in October. These State* all supported Garfield except New Jersey, which barely went for Hancock. MTSome of the Arizona Indians are reported to be actually pining for peace.

MP"There Is a little town In Ohio nasicd Zear, which in these bustling days of progress and ehange is a verit­ able wonder, A cor respondeat who recently visited it say* that the inhab­ itants, who bave no desire to amass wealth, work for one common end-- that is for the good of the community, which owns and controls the entire vil- lage. Including thousands of acres .of the ilcbest land in the Buckeye State. The money goes into one common treasury, the neecssaries of life,Includ­ ing food, provisions and garments, are furnished by the village officials, con­ sisting of three trustees and a com­ mittee of live, who are annually elected by ballot. The village contains about S00 inhabitants, which number has been the same since 1617, and never In- treaaes or decreases to any notices o;e extent. There are no preachers, but all the people are devout, worshipping after the manner of the Friends. The marriage vow is held sacred and the liw'S are rarely broken. excitement growing out of the pnblicr.tkni of the proceeding# in the pension case of Mrs. Lila Perkins has not lessened, and as the writer to the Independent, in the issue of July 20th, who signs himself ••Oic who bled, but is not bleeding still." is anxious that the mattor b® thoroughly aired, and as he has aired but one side we now propose to air the o^her. It is indeed good of the writer to say such beautiful tbingsot a father; listen: •'Whose hand was never raised to oppress the weak, and whose whole life has been spent in right* ing wrongs lor widows and orphans." But when that same person will stand on our streets, on the Sabbath diy, and in the vilest of language abuse the boys in blue, and actu­ ally assist in defrauding a worthy' widow eut of her rights, then we can more truly Judge of the nobility of his life. This same person for rears fed at the public crib and enriched himself under the prerext of serving ihe Government as Provost Marshal. Patriotism is indeed a virtue, but mighty little patriot ism or virtue can such a man possess, and he may see the time when even a wandering jack ass will affbrd him solace and comfort. Much more honorable would it be in him to return to the vocation of his younger da vs. There is plenty of nice horses in the country, and the avenues of escape are numerous, Next we wish to air the mannei in which a certain imported Chicago pauper, raised no apparent respectability at the expense of the Government, maiiifcsts his hatred of the boys In blue. His antipathy is only equaled by the blackness of the lies he has circulated. But enough. He has called the soldiers '•pimps, blackmailers and liars." and says he dare call ai v of them so that will come to his store, every word of which is but a rattle of the serpent that will one day recoil tipon him. Equally notorious is the brother, who is t»o less a political wreck than "Bill" himself. He has, in substance, declared the soldiers to bo pimps and liars, that the/ all ought to bo where the dead ones are. Is this patriotism? Is this virtue? Here is a man who "would not perjure himself to heip his sister-in-law,"and yet is a traitor to every principle of right and justice, a traitor to the noble sacrittce of the boys in blue, a traitor deeper dyed than per­ jured man could be. If it is wrong or unpatriotic for some soldier |o accept their pension, how is it with those Who were too craven to ente# the service lint stayec at home, and at the present time cowardly mimic a wounded soldier leaving the Held ot carnage? Birt, boys in blue, let them go, and bye and bye when their rnrcasses lie blackening In the heat of the bottomless pit, then we will know that lonf delayed jus­ tice has asserted her rights.: ' .

Iritis a frequent complaint in the printing office that much of the manuscript copy is written in careless, illegible, and sometimes ungramniat- 4cal style. In reference to this fact the Philadelphia Printer«' Circular says the wonder Is that the printer makes so few mistakes. If he had not more than average intelligence and patience he would probably make rs many mistakes as he gets credit for. He ttoes, occasionally, try to improve on what the author has written. Re thinks he certainly could not hare meant it that way, and so he drops in a word of his own selection, te make sense, as lie expresses it. This subse­ quently causes harsh and ui.-feeling language. The printer is one of the indispensable adjuncts' of civilisation and progress. From the ranks of the army of printer* have risen more brilliant men in literature and a great­ er number of statesmen, whose names have been set up In large type In his­ tory's pages, than have risen from the rank6 of any other trade, calliug, or UOLJID TO SUIT. ^llie old facilities for travel were good, the new ones are better.
