SOME LONG POLES

That Knocked Persimmons Congressman Brookshire Recommends Eighty Postmasters in this Disrict.

A special from Washington to the Indiauapolis Sentinel says: "Congressman Brookshire has settled eighty postmasters in his district. During the last ten days he has devoted his entire time 1 to the cont ideration of the applications. He went over the letters of indorsements and petitions carefully. He says it was difficult matter to discriminate between good men who applied for the I same ollice. Everything equal ho gave preferences to old soldiers. "My chief object," said he to the Sentinel correspondent, "'is to give the people a good service. In some cases good men applied for the postoffice who had too much private business, and knowing that they could not give the office sufficient time, I could not 6ee my way clear to recommend them for appointment. We want postmasters who will bo in the office all the time. The postoffice is the the office nearest the people* and the patrons always prefer to do business with the head of the office than with the assistant."

Tho lucky persons from this county are: John E. Talbott. Ladoga John Adams, jr.. Parkersburg Miss Jennie Sweeny, Yountsville John W. McCardle, New Richmond J. W. Kirkpatrick, Kirkpatrick Charles McBee, Linden Henrv D. Servies, New Market: R. C. Cording, Wingate ., Isaac ...Woodard, Bowers.

The postmaster of Terre Haute will be named by Senator Voorhees. It is the custom to allow a U.S. senator to name tho postmaster of his own city.

Mr. Brookshier has aot yet decided who he will recommend for Covington., Attica, Crawfordsville and Clinton— all presidential ofaces.

Mr. Brookshire saya that ke will file all the applications, together with letters of indorsmonts and petitions, but will also £ie his own recommendation. Thus far the member's recommendation has not feeen overruled."

ABSOLUTEOf PURE

Mahchi's Spree.

Malichi Bill Scott was up before the Mayor Tuesday morning for the first time since he and his estimable wife joined tho colored church several weeks ago. It appears that at the death of a relative in Boone county recently Mrs. Malachi fell heir to S7.50 in cold cash. The fact of having this colossal fortune on hand seemed to weigh heavily on Malachi's mind, in fact he was mad with joy. Visions of the festive growler caused his head to spin aiul his heart to palpitate savagely, Monday night his feelings got tho better of him and he began the drunk that landed him in jail. Bad whiskey seemed to set his blood on tire and he grew so happy his softest smiles could be heard for manyblocks. Because hi* wife and aged mother couldn't work their enthusiasm up to the proper notch, Malachi grew indignant and then furious. He kicked over the piano, smashed the costly China ware, tore the plush upholsterings from the furniture, upset the stoves and finally wound up by whipping his wife and mother. He sobered up in jail Monday night and then settled with the Mayor Tuesday morning.

Meant It As A. Joke.

Mr. John Jehnson desires to set himself aright before the people regarding his statement that Con Cunningham had agreed to join the republican ranks last fall if that party would promise him its support to secure him a Consulate to Ireland. Mr, Johnson vigorously denies that Mr. Cunningham ever approached him regarding such affiliation, that the informatin he imparted to the editor of this paper was only a hear-say rumor and that he only told it in a joking manner. Mr. Johnson and Mr. Cunningham are the warmest of friends and Mr. Johnson is the last man iu the world who would throw an obstacle in the path of Mr. Cunningham. We cheerfully put Mr. Johnson in the proper light before our readers.
