One of the leading hunks of Ht Louis closed its doors Wednesday under a decision of the Directors to ■put it in liquidation. Several other institutions in the smite City are about to take similar aelihn. Just now the Haves organ* Ovith post offices attached,) arc endeavor ing to explain away the lowa Convcn t i on ßochester Sen line!. We think there is one exception to this rule. In our judgement, our old Huff, of the MunllceUo Herald (and post office) don't fawn much for favor in this particular. More than seven thousand applications for consulships are on tile in Washington, and theiv is but a single vacancy. The authorities hope that in time that one may he ma le to satisfy something more than its share of applicants, sin-eo if. attaches to a port on tho coast of Africa where the climate is certain death to uiiacciimuted persons.— Chicago Times. The “Out-Look” is certainly favor- . able for Bro. James. Mr. MeEwen, of the Rensselaer Spilt inel, has had something to say in regard to an article that appeared in the Republican, and lias also culled to his aid some fellow from Mississippi, who, probably ought to be looking from iron bars.-Bro. Mae., if we drop down on you, you will think one of Tice’, cyclones has struck you.- If -vnarnaK Itepubltcun. No, no; not “cyclone." ft’s the bloody-shirt ye deal in, and tlwit is t.ae article ye’ll drop. Brother Keizer i; not the only champion of the bloody shirt whose conceit lead them to fancy that a perfect “cyclone” s wells tip within them: He has nothing to say in the defence of Ins insinuations against the manhood, veracity - aud honor of Elder Halstead. Rut “Nick of the Woods” hit him with a “cyclone,” aud now he thinks he has the power to hurl like missiles.

The Mexicans at Acapulco Mexico, enjoyed themselves for awhile iri insulting American residents there, and destroying their property, and finally in imprisoning the American Consul. President Diaz.directed the Commandaut at that place Gen. Jimmcz. to make speedy and complete restitution und apology. This he refused to do. The U. S. Man-of-war, PensOeola, steamed into that port a few days ago trained her guns on the town and admiral Murary secured an audience with Jiimnez. He very quickly iulormed that individual that he. had no time to waste—the property destroyed must be paid for then and there, apologies must be made, aud the American Flag must be saluted, or tintown battered down over his head so soon as he should return to his shij . Jiinmez saw that Admiral Murray meant what lie said, and complied with the conditions imposed.

At the recent session of the Legislature a law was passed regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday, or public days, which is probably not generally understood. It in beneficent in its provisions, in so fai that it allows a line not exceeding SSO against a saloon-keeper for its violation, and the druggist or druggist’s clerk who sells liquor, for medical purposes, ''without a written prescription from some regular phy sician of ths county,” is made to fail for SIOO.OO. litre is the law; Section 1. lie it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana. That it shall be unlawful for any person to sell, barter, or give uway, to be drunk as a beverage, any spirituous, vinous, malt, or other intoxicating liquors on Sunday, the Fourth day of July, the first day cf January, the twenty-fifth day of December, commonly called Ghii -time-, uud Thanksgiving day, as designated by proclamation of the Governor, or President of the United Slates, or upon the day of any State, county, township, primary or municipal oleclioniutUe township, town or city, where the samo may be hoideti, and upon conviction thereof, the person so offending shall be deemed guil.y of a misdemeanor, and be fined in aty puni not loss than ten nor more tlmu fifty dollars, to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail for any period not to exceed sixty days, in the discretion of the court or jury trying the same.

Editor Sentixel; In last Thursday’s '* Union" (which made its appearance on Saturday morning,) appears an article from the pen of the senior editor of said paper, commenting on your answer of the proceeding week, to his attack on the SeKtinel in r eference to the printing of the premium list for the Jasper County Agricultural and Mechanical Association for the year 1877. The article referred to makes aa we understand it a general attack on the society, first; on the Directors, second, and more especially on the committees appointed by tbc board of Direorors to secure the printing for tho society on the cheapest and best terms possible to by had. In that article he says “the ! circumstances attending it, (the letting of the printing) were such as to arouse suspicions, that those who controlled were not acting in good faith, and two members of tire com-

mittee appointed to negotiate a ! printing contract lor the society were plainly told so,” Trie members of committee were Mr. George H. Bro wn, Piesiueht of the Board, Mr. Norman Warner Superintendent, aud myself, As one member of the committee I must say in my own behalf, (aud I think when I speak for .myself that I at the same lime speak for Mr. Brown and Mi. Warner,) that I know of no “pscuiiar circumstances attending our aeiious,” that were "eale'Jiated to ai oils-,* the auspicious'” of any one, unless it migat arouse the jealousy of some such fellow us the senior Editor of the Union alter the,bids had been opened and the contract Awarded to the Sk.ntinkl, not because (the Editor of (he hJCNTi.NEL and one theniber of the committee are Democrats, as Bre. James intimates, but because Mr. Warner and myself upon opening tin* scaled bids found that Mr MeEwen proposed to do the work for less than the Union man, Mr. James’ bid being SGO and Mr. Mc- : Ewen’s bid being $35. Last year i financial matters were by far, easier than they are this year, and Mr. i James did the work for sls, this year you will observe, wli in money is three times us hard to procure, with competition in our village he is silly enough to ; asked and received last year, and he says “two of the members of the 1 eommitteu were plainly told so.” i e that Mr. James would not have a fair ; chance in bidding someway, I don’t j pretend to know how,—Well, I was never told so, and Mr. Warner informs i me that he was never told so; then it naturally follows, that the senior

Editor of the “ UnioU,” (I was going to say lied but then that tfouid not do.) but I will say Unit that particular portion of the article is false. In the same article he says, “If ail the stockholders will unite with us in «ui earnest effort to overcome the serious obstacles presented by un incompetent board of Directots;” — i. e. well, that is cheeky, it is encouraging to the board of Directors,--it is flattering. But then Mr. James should remember that it is a very difficult matter, to select a board of directors in Jasper County, that, has as much competency and brains as lie has liimseli and you. will remember that, the Board consist of nine members, we think it would be a glorious idea at our next election to have our rules. amended so that one man might perform the duties of the Board. Then let some stockholder propose the name of Mr. Horace E James for the Board; we think the board being very competent would without doubt be elected, and then we could have an exempliticutiu of tho motto of the United .States, E. Plutibus Unum. The definition or meaning ‘is many in one,’ and if that measure does, or should from any eausMail to carry through, wo would suggest first a bottle of McLean’s Vermifuge and after that is all taken according to the directions on the label, it, should be followed with a bottle of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing,Svnip. If lie follows the above prescription we will guarantee that he will feel lot) percent better. Respectfully,

[Troy (N. V.) Times.] Theretcan be no possible doubt that Stanley Matthews is a great man —a very great tnau indeed. How this country lias managed to get along without him foi 100 years past is a mystery. He is an embodiment of all the qualities which are desirable in a statesman, a patriot, a financier and a scholar. No question can possibly arise that he is not competent to decide rightly, at a moment’s notice. Ohio ought to be proud of a son so illustrious. What that State wo lid hive do ic for a Senator to serve out John Sherman’s uucxpired term if Stanley Matthews hadn’t been o the fore, we cannot imagi.net Fortunately he was on hand, and not on y Ohio but the whole country was saved. There oau bo no doubt that the administration of President Hayes would have gone to the fiemnitition bow-wows ert this but for the counsel and support given to it by this eminent individual. Every American citizen should feel thankful that a being so illustrious and all-pervad-ing in his beneficence exists to lake care of affairs aud run things generally
