Uncle Tom's Cabin was here Tuesday night for the twentieth time, perhaps, and as usual drew a good house. The cabin has rotted down long ago, Unole Tom is no more, Eva has died so many times that all the children in the country know her "lines," but Marks still bobs up serenely as a gallant representative of the legal fraternity. It is a cruel thing to let those fierce blood-hounds tear Eliza to pieces each night, and some time in the distant future she will rebel against being thus torn, and demand that the poor old dogs be taken to a dentist and have their teeth plugged. Oh it is horrible, but 'tis moral, yon know. We have received from our old friend, Prof. M. M. Campbell, his circular, No. 3, entitled "Alphabetic Law with an improved Alphabet, the crying need of American Literature." His views and suggestions seem worthy of consideration. The Professor, we regret to le&rn, is almost totally blind. John W. Davis and wife re

it is that it is an honest jou ; no part of the work has been slighted.
' and the State gets tne full worth
. of its money. For this result great
credit and public thauks are due ! the commissioners, who.se honesty,
intelligence and unflagging devo
tion to duty have contributed in so
large a degree to its accomplishment
Bioomington has reason to feel
proud of the fact that one of her
citizens, Wm. B. Seward, is one o
those commissioners, and that to his practical good sense, as much as to any other cause are we indebted for the result above referred to. Seward is a thorough mechanic, a man who has grown gray in the work shop, and he has ajways fejt a commendable pride in the honesty and economy with which the work
was being conducted. There were no "jobs" in this building, and it is one of the grandest edifioes in the country.

Col. Matson has not told his
friends positively which nomination
he would prefer for Congress or the Governorship though some of them have been putting the question direct to him. A gentleman
prominent in Indiana politics tells the Progress that he approached Mr. Matson on this point, telling him if he wanted the nomination for Congress he should let his friends, the workers, know it, so
that they might begin operations.
To this he replied that he had not
as yet determined, and that if be
should conclude to take the nomi
nation for Congress he could get it
without the aid of Bartholomew, Monroe and Owen. There's confi
dence for jou.

the entire distance it runs through his or their farms and to complete the same on or before the first of July, 1888. To prove to you gentlemen this is not idle boasting, I dare yon (that is the strongest word
I can use) to put up with me $100 in the safe hands of Walter E. Woodburn, Eq.,as a forfeit for the noncompliance of contract." That is a common sense proposition, one that if acfed upon would secure to the people good roads all
