The Lafayette car works em;.lov’ ntore (linn three hundred workmen. They turned out 1,350 cars in the first year of their existence. Preparations are being made for more extensive operations.

One more line of railroad Is now complete acro-s the American continent. The Atchison Topeka aud San i» Fe from the east. and the Sonthern Pacific from the west, both for seversi jre*ys past in ceursa of construction, met and w re united Monday of last week at a little town near the western border of New Mexico. Pen Periey PoOre says that Judge Tourgee is “not a t usees* as a leCtur*r.” Neither is the alleged “Judge” a success as a slander of the Southern pooph*. —Louisville Courier Journal. Hit thetruth again. No, not a success a« a siauderer of the Southern people, lie tells the truth about them, altogether to plain for the Courier Journal. Tho New York Herald uses over a thousand miles of; paper, 6 feet 3 inches in width, every week in the year,and one of Us cplumus brings over three hundred thousand dollars a ve»r for advertising. Just think of it: and yet we find uien, enlightened, intelligent* obeervlug, enterprising, .industrious, ambitious men, whw have the audacity to say that advertising does uot jury. Observant rea. . draw your own conclusions; we are unable to even assist you.—Ex.

The prospect* that the Indianapolis, iMphi and Gnicago road will be built this season are not so flattering as thirty’ days The Crawford combina. lion apparently have not aol the oumwey to pmeoed with the work,and they nre not witting to sell 'tlio title they hold in the right of way and the por- . tion of the mad now bqiJl, such a flgnre that parties whu have ample fuiuls and are ihalreus of taking hold <>: the enter' rite would be justUlei in 1 so doing.

If you dotr’t like si I tue an endmenu proposed, why vote only for thoae y u approve. The registry amendment hrthe most objection*!.— B maniac Democaat. Let’s tee. six mouths ago tl| Democrat was howling about tiie Importation of voters by ilepubluana-

Tiie Deni *• rats are now claiming that • republican president defeated the funding of Ui« National debt by vetoing tne • per cent funding bill, i'he greatest obstruction to the measure was Its conditions. It la very rvideut that a bond at bo low a rate of Mitereet could not be sustained. The uroepeet of the passage of the funding nil! created consternation in financial drcl« and its becoming a law would have destroyed confidence in tiie government ou the part of its creditor*. Tiie refusal of the Democrats to concur in Seuatur Hoars amendment was the only thing that defeated the funding bill, and democratic obstinacy is alone responsible.’

W 111 the Rensselaer Eepublcan pit-use explain what “thing” it is that has become intolerable to Mouticello? It says: “when a thing becomes intolerable to Mouticello. she tries to palm it off on her sister tow us as ‘a man of good moral character.’ Wicked, deceitful and unfeeliug Mouticello Montieello ITeraJ-i. X). brother Hu Of, why* did you ask us to do so perilous a thing? Our Democratic—editor—of—long—experience—across—the—hail warns us that we’d better not. He ►ays if we do we’ll get our head “punched” whatever that means (wev’e uot arisen to his grade of dietjon.) We suppose ke means Reynolds. How much worse thing could Montieello send to a neighboring town Now our head will be “punched" sure. We wish we were not an “amateur.” O.that we bad been an editor like McEwea.

Reynolds, the mat) to whom the court at this place last week decided to grant license to sell intoxicating liquors in Rensselaer, was proven to be a paragou of a rain. In fact if he had ever been guilty of a questionable act nobody appenrd to have beard of lilt’s a pity Mr. Reynolds hadn’t turned his attention to holding protracted meetings or something of that kJiid. It is feared that this saloon business may possibly oorrupt his guileless souhr— Newton County News. Too, bad, too had, brother Esstburn, weve re peatedly set the matter before the young man, and with yearning heart warned him of the waywardness of hjs course, and the great risk he run of having his morals teetotal!y and everlastingly corrupted by throwing himself into the company of such individuals as congregate at saloons, but no use: he had his eye sot. but then m*ybe he is going to hold protracted meeting* at his saloon.

G. W. M ichael j has covered the country with another of his Infamous and characteristic circulars defaming the Northern Indiana Normal ifehool aud its faculty. It issues from Deleware, 0., hie present place of abode, and purports to be the pretentious professor’s “famous speech against H. M. Brown, principal, and his Northern Indians Norms I School, delivered June otb, 1880 at the aeiuleiuy of’music, Valparaiso, lud., to'an audJence( of more than two thousand, consisting of tiie normal students and the citizens of the town.” It is upoq it* face »« unabridged invention of unmitigated falsehoods, and cannot otherwise appear to tiie considerate reader. Of course where Prof. Brown and the merits of the school arc known it* jleudenay cau but be to strengthen the institution, though the heinous disposition aud object are palpably for evil. What mar be it* elfeet in more remote quarters we cannot undertake to surmise, but its sayings are so flippant, over-exaggerated and unreasonable, that no deleterious result, we think, need be apprehended. The Northern ludiana Normal School is an institution of exceeding merit, and so recognizeJ.j It is a great blessing not only to Valparaiso and the immediate vicinity, but to all the country that gives it patronage. To an institution of sueh bene fleent works, it occurs to us, no such blarneying blatherskite »s Mr. Michael can. do serious barm.— Valparaiso Vidette.

Change of bask. This very remarkable enterprise continues to make such progress as to astonish its friends and /wtound its enemies. Its greatly increasing proportions have compelled the removal of its head-quarters, from the Tribune Building to the very large and' beautiful building, No. 764 Broadway which is In the very midst of the book distrcU” of New York City, and therefore of the publishing enterprise of the nation. This building though six steries in height 25 feet front and 100 feet deep, is sufficient only for the oflloes and retail store of the Company. The manufacturing ia carried «*n in several large buildings located in other parts of t£e city, th« ugh it is contemplated concentrating them soon in one immense factory to be erected. Their list of recent and forthcoming publications are extremely iuteiestiug to all who enjoy what is choicest in Literature. • The Library Magazine is unique in both form and character and altogether delightful in tlie richness of Its eon tedts Of the books announced, Green’s Iprger ‘•History of the English People,” reduced from

>lO to sl;.:Carlyle's “History of the French Revolution” reduced to 40 cents; Carlyle’ “Heroes and HeW Warship;” 25 cents, and the “Revised New Testament/* which is promised to t>e manufactured with rapidity heretofore unheard o', will attract special attention. It is worth while for every one who has uot already sren It, to send Budget the illustrated pamphlet, “book Making, and type , SetHng by steam,” which will be sent free on application.
