REMINGTON RECORD ITEMS.

There are eighteen divorce suite pending in the Cass County Circuit Couit. at Logansport. July Ist the new license liquor law went into effect in Boston. On that day 1,100 persons paid into the city treasury SBB,OOO for licenses. Every unlicensed establishment is to be closed. The Michigan Central Railway has refused to enter into the arrangements for raising passenger fares? and continues its price of tickets at sls from Chicago to New York. Travelers will be apt to remember this road. Carey looks at it according to possible consequences. If Allen should be elected Governor of Ohio the chances are that Samuel would be elected Lieutenant Governor. Then if Allen is elected President, Samuel would be Governor. Give any small boy a piece of chalk and the bead of a beer barrel and be can work out the problem. The Post Office Department has decided to send a fast mail train from New York to Chicago over the New York Central and Hudson River and Lake’ Shore Railroads,' making but six stops viz.: Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Toledo and Chicago, where it' will drop and take on mails. It is expected that the trip can be made in ten houas less time than at present. 1 The project for a union for commercia purposes between the American Grangers and the English Co-operative Societies is progressing favorably. To avoid the difficulty of a direct union between two associations, one of which is a secret organization and the other open, it is proposed to form a trading company with a capital of twenty-five millions of dollars and having branches in both countries. The scheme is very comprehensive in its details, embracing the purchase of ships and the building of manufactories and warehouses, and a general engagement in the whole business of traffic and manufacturing in the products of the soil and industry.

For months before the Presidential election of 1872, everything looked dark along the political horizon. The Republican party was to be buried under the tidal wave of Democracy. The politicians mistook the sentiments of the people. The tidal wave turned out a mere ripple and the old party of liberty and union loomed up grander than ever. So it will be in 1876. The people are as true now as then. If they have shown apathy, it has been ou minor questions. On the one absorbing one of national integrity, they are and will be at all times, a unit. The time will never come when the party that favored the overthrow of the Government will control its affairs. Wanted. —A gentleman to edit this, paper who can satisfy everyone. To such a man a large salary will be paid.—Jasi'ek Republican. A coward, a fool, a horse-thief and a liar, a man unprincipled and without an opinion of his own, ever ready to consult the likes and dislikes of a few leaders in society, who possess a little means, would fill a position of the above kind. At least these would be tho qualifications required to “edit u newspaper to suit everyone,” in a country town where a few think they compose everybody.— liemingtorm Record Very well said | but would a man possessed of the qualifications given by the Record suit everyone even in a country town ? Certainly not. It is in vain to hope to please all. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on onehalf fte world. We shall never know the influence which one gentle, loving spirit has exercised in the household until home is broken up. It is high time for mankind to learn to be good natured. If we want agreeable companions we must be obliging at all times, and of a golden good humor. How we will all love to look back to the home of early years, no matter how humble the place may have been. Every one who has one ray of kindness and affection in his heart loves the name of home. How blessed a place is a true home where we are cheered by words and acts of kindness and lookg of love. They spread sunshine through the soul. We want activity of body and mind; it is right that we labor to beautify our homes. W e don’t want looks that are repulsive. Some ornaments are needed to break this. We have a wide scope for the selection of ornaments at the present day. Cultivate flowers. What a stony heart that sees no beauty in the lovely flowers that speak a language for themselves. Books, papers, pictures, music and reading should all have a place to make home attractive. Ah, those home associations, how they cluster around the heart and fill the soul with joy. The more a person accomplishes the more he may. You those that are the most forward to do good are always busy. Who builds our railroads, steamboats and manufactories ? It is those of industrious and enterprising habits. As long as they live they work, domg something to benefit themselves or others. I would not advocate all work, for it is said, “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Every household needs its innocent amusements. L.

The New York Tribune says that the Democratic party, which seems of late to be conducted for thu „ sole purpose of organizing victory for Republicans, ha* put another splendid opportunity into the hands of Us rivals. The declaration of the Ohio wing for inflation is one of those fatal blunders which can never be canceled, and which can only be partially retrieved. It means inevitable disaster either in victory or defeat, and almost certain dissension no matter what the result of State election. The Ohio Democracy must go into the National Convention next year pledged to inflar j tion, to preserve a shred of consistencyIf the} adhere to iflnation, the people mil not trust them ; if they recant in favor of specie payments, the people will not believe them. In any event, they have precipitated discord upon the party aud diminished its chances of success.

Push your greenbacks round and keep them in circulation. The country does not require an increase of paper currency. That would lead, as it invariably does, to an inflation of prices, and we would be compelled to pay more for everything we eat, drink and wear. What is needed now is not an increase of paper money, but a more rapid circulation of that now in the market. It is the nimble sixpense and not the slow shilling that does the work. Business is improving. Let everybody help it along by his energy and a friendly expression of confidence. Settle up old debts and be caustous in contracting new ones. Long credits require long purses when pay day comes round. If people would pay cash more generally in their business transactions, less money would be required. A story is told of a quite recent incident that may be repeated a thousand times daily. A merchant received a dollar in part payment of an account, early one morning, and a few minutes later paid it to bis butcher. It was peculiarly stained, so that it attracted attention. An hour or two later the same bill Was paid on another account, and was again paid out. — It was received on account and for goods no less than six times during the day by the merchant. His curiosity was excited, and, as the expressman w ould say, he started a tracer to learn the route it had traveled during the day. He was surprised to learn that it had changed hands twenty-one times. It finally rested in his safe at night. It is not probable that all the money in circulation will average nearly so much activity ;. and yet there are but few who have ever thought seriously of the paramount value to every business relation of keeping money rapidly in motion in the community.

Dr. Maxwell is preparing to move his family to Fowler. Three persons united with the M. E. Church, last Sunday night. Mrs. C. W. Hartley returned from Ohio, abouut about two weeks ago, somewhat improved in health. About $30,000 worth of building has been done here this summer, besides tho four new bricks that are to be erected in & few weeks. Last week 0. B. Mclntire sold $17,000 worth of land. Mr. Mclntire informs us that the land business is improving steadily. Mr John Chambers, formerly a citizen of this place, has been visiting here a few days. He returned to Indianapolis last night. Miss Mary Hughs returned from Bloomington, Wednesday, accompanied by her sister. Miss Hughs is recomended as an accomplished performer on the piano, and an oxcrtlent teacher hf music.

We learn that there was a lecture delivered at the Presbyterian Chuich, last evening, against seeret societies. The gentleman who delivered the lecture is traveling in the interest of the “<Jjnofeur,” an anti-secret society paper, published at Indianapolis. A family by the name of Smith, living in the west part of town, were poisoned by eating mushroons, last week. One yonng girl was in & very critical condition, atone time. Persona should be very careful in eating such trash this time of year. The brick work on Bn-ger & Butler’s new build ng is completed, and it presents quite a nice appearance. This is the first building put up by the brick made at the new yard, and their hard, smooth appearance reflects great c edit upon Messrs. Lowery & Tribby as brick makers, and is a good recommendation for a large sale of brick this season.
