WE SALUTE YO UI

THE MAIL of last week told of its transfer to the nnderelghed by ^Major O. J. Smith, its founder. In assuming the responsibility of my new position, I shall make no boastful announcement ot plans, purposes and hopes for promises will not supply the place ol performance. I promise this however, that the paper shall be kept up to the high rank of journalism it has attained.

Recognizing in The Mail a style of journalism quite different from that of the staid morning papers, it shall be my constant aim to make it the lively, spicy, gossipy paper which has caused it to attain a popularity never equalled by any other publication in this city.

It is well known that my career in journalism, for ten years past, has been confined to the city department of a morning Daily. These pleasant duties have been performed in connection with the more important and onerous work of the business management of the same establishment and I confess, what must be generally known, that as the business has grown, the latter has received more attention than the former—"business belore pleasure" has been the rule.

And now, embarking iu this more extended field of journalism, while I may not hope to step immediately into the elegenl garments of him, who, as a graceful writer, a spicy paragraphist, and with good business tact, has so eminently proved bis fitness as the conductor of this journal, yet I flatter myself that an experience of seventeen years in the newspaper business gives me some idea ot the wants of the reading public and what is most pleasing to the popular taste and if, alter a lair trial, I find that I am unable in my own self to accomplish the high purpose, I shall not hesitate to summon to my aid such journalistic talent as will cause The Mail to be, if possible, even more acceptable than heretofore.

While the leading political events will be discussed in these columns, it will be the aim to have as little as pospossible to do with politics but the constant endeavor will be to make an acceptable family paper, alive to the local and business interests of the Prairie City, zealously advocating all that tends to promote its growth, the upbuilding of trade and manufactures in this, the most favored of localities in all this Western land.

Some new and attractive features are in contemplation, which, it^is believed, will be received with general favor.

And now, with these words of greeting, I send out my Initial number of The Mail, saying of it what blunt old Thackeray said of his story-telling:

Good people it is not only impossible "to pleaseyou all, but it is absurd to try. "Tho dish which one man relishes, "another dislikes. Is the dinner to-day "not to your liking Let us hope to"morrow's entertainment will be more "agreeable.

P. S. WESTFALL,.

THAyKS.^

To our editorial brethren of tho city and State, and many good personal friends we return thanks for kind wishes, in advance, for success in our new field of labor and we hope for their sake and ours that our eflorts to make Hie Mail what it has been in the past, may prove acceptable. -,,T

TOWN TALK.

take pleasure this week in introducing to the readers of The Mail, Mr. Town Talk, who appears on the first page, and will continue from week to week, in hi* own peculiar way, talking of town topics, personal and otherwise.

SPRING

THE Indian of a by-gone day used to stand on a bluff, with folded arms, and gate sadly upon the iron boss as it snorted through his hunting grounds. Now be d—ns the baggage man be* Oause be doesnH eboctr his carpet bag in a hurry, shaken hands with (be conductor, borrows a chaw from the brakeman, and reclining upon two •eats masticates peanuts and reads the Police Gasette, as the express train ben* him "to the portals of the West »«wind, of the Northwest wind, Keewaydin." •BaBSSBRBB in.

OztB man in hundred reads a book ninet}-nine in hundred read a newspaper. Nearly a century «go, when the American press, which Is now a spreading oak, was in its green twig, Thomas Jefferson said he yould rather live in a cenntry with nswspftpus atod without government than in a country with a government and without newspapers. The press, instead of being the fourth, is the ftnt estate of the realm. For good or fbr evil It wields a powerful Influence.

If we may believe the aima Spring waa ushered in yesterday. Tfteife was no rich display of drapery, for Winter haa been alow to give up its reign. We must be patient, however, the bright days will soon come. The sap is carrying tho leaves up silently from the ground and unseen fingers are getting ready the wrap and woof of the flowers. A little more positive assurance that Jack Frost has adjourned his filagree work upon the window panes, and the bare arms of the trees and shrubs will put on theirgreen sleeves, and the apple and peach bloom give out their fragrance. We long for the time when the birds shall renew their songs when the planting and sowing shall begin, and the hammer of the builder be heard/?

The consumptive who has coughed all through the Winter and grown thin and pale, and who has shudderod to go down into the ground while it was yet frozen, can soon breathe life out as do the flowers their perfume, and the freed spirit walk in literal beauty. And it would not be a violent fancy to believe all the graves made in the winter time have been holding the souls of the dead until the warm Spring days, that they might not go home shivering. Were this so, and our eyes could see the spiritual eflervescence, how eagerly should we watch the softening sods above our dear ones whom we have buried under the snow. What a bevy of spirits would go up, some warm Spring morning, from our own city cemetery, and how lovingly and longingly would it be gazed after. Souls of little children, BOUIS of old men, souls of sweet maidens, souls of young men, souls of mothers, all circling around and around, until the instinct awakened pointing them to Heaven, and they rose on strong pinions through the blue rifts of clouds, would burst upon the eye.

We hail thee, glad spring time.",

OUR COAL FIELD*

Few of our readers have thought ol or comprehend the vast extent of the block coal field which we have scarcely commenced harvesting, and which is now attracting the attention ot capitalists east and west. Professor Cox says the* pure block coal reaches from near Attica, in Fountain county, to the Ohio river is about one hundred and fifty miles in length and from five to thirty in width. Professor Foster says he has traced this coal from Brazil, in Clay county, Indiana found it in Greene county, in Daviess county, on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, and in Spencer county, not far from Rockport and that specimens from the mines sixteen miles frotn Rockport might be placed on a table with specimens from the mines in Clay county, and neither he nor Professor Cox could tell the one from the other, so complete is this block coal formation in its entire length. It is not wonderful that the attention of iron men of this Continent and of England should at this moment be turned in this direction, when three years ago little was known of block coal outside of the Mahoning Valley.

AN item is going the rounds of the exchanges stating that a woman school teacher in Utica, Wisconsin, allows the pupils five minutes to go out and see the railway train when it passes. That is a sensible teacher. How different from the olden times when an elephant might pass by while the little urchins would be compelled to keep their eyes upon their books lest through the windows they might catch a glimpse of the animal. No wonder tho boys and girls come to hate school hours and to look upon them as the darkest of the twen-ty-four. That woman teacher in Wisconsin is sound in her head she favors "object teaching she would give a recess for a menagerie to pass, or a circus band to go by, and the children would study all the harder for the indulgence.

TARIFF ON TYPE.

Hon. D. W. Voorhees haa Introduced a bill in Congress, which is now pending, to aboliah all duties and imposts on type and other printing material, and also to abolish all dutiea and imposts on all articles need in the manufacture of type and other printing ma terial, and to place the same on the free list.

The newspaper press should keep a lookout for their Repreaentatives in Congreas who oppose this bill. We learn from Rowell's Newspaper Re' poater that if the tariff on type used by the American printers were removed, type could be bought for about threefifths of the present price. If it be claimed that type-founding is an Amercan industry that is entitled to protection, we answer: so is printing an American industry, hundreds of times more important—employing hundreds, perhaps thousands of times as many mechanics and as much of capital as typefounding. Printers are

manufacturers ot

no small importance. Any bounty or tax upon their tools and implements is a tax, not only upon one of our great industries, but a tax upon knowledge and education. Tax on type makes the primmer and spelling-book cost more to all the children of the land, to say nothing of its being a clog upon all public and private libraries.

If it be tiue, as we state above, that the printers of the United States pay two-fifths of all their type purohases, as a tax to a monopoly, is it not about time they represented the fact to their members of Congress This tax does not go to the Government, because scarcely any type is imported. It can be removed in three months, if every newspaper publisher will address a letter to his member of Congress simply asking to have it removed.

WE are again reminded that a great famine is desolating unhappy Persia. Late dispatches from Teheran say that many persons are dying every day,and there is no prospect of relief. We hear of no movement in this country to save one of the sufferers from pain, or to provide food for a single child of the thousands that are starving. It seems remarkable that so little sympathy has been shown for this miserable people by the civilized world. That an entire nation should be gradually swept from the earth, its cities depopulated and its fidds left empty, almost without attracting the attention of Christian people in other parts of the world, seems incredible. It is a sad commentary on our religion that, while the United States and England are expending thousands of dollars to support missionaries scattered among heathen people, one benighted nation is allowed to suffer and die unheard and without assistance. There is a society in England formed to help the Persians in their dire extremity, but it attracts little attention, while the society for rebuilding Warwick castle is gathering thousands of pounds, and more than twenty-five thousand dollars have been subscribed for the fund to support an expedition to search for Dr. Livingston. Either of these objects is praiseworthy, but should not take precedence of „the demands of Persia.

AN exchange says: All the public lauds in Texas are set apart for education." This thing must be stopped. We don't object to compelling the education of children, or even of birds, fishes, and beast, but we raise our voice against this new departure of educationalists. So long as the land was cultivated by means ot harrows, hoes, plows, and other instruments of torture, we stood calmly by and did not raise our voice against the wrong inflicted on mother earth but now that we see the vile uses which radical despots are making of power we do protest. Never will we tamely submit to having the public lands compelled to learn its A C&, to study geography, to get posted on astronomy, to become acquainted with agricultural books, and to read the writings of "Ouida" and Miss Augusta Evans. Against such flagrant despotism we will fight to the bitter end.

OHIO and Illinois find the temperance law (the same in each State) not wholly successful. Petitions have been introduced in the Legislatures for the repeal of the provision which makes the liquor seller iiahle in damages to the wife or family of the drunkArd, on the ground that great frauds are being perpetrated under it by conspiracies of husbands aud wives to mulct the saloon keepers. And in the Illinois Legislature a bill has already been introduced to repeal the enfire law, so recently pasted.

THSopinion is general in Venesuela, that the war has oeased," says recent telegram. Ah! yes—we remember—there

been awarin Venesnela.

We knew there had been a war in some of those South American republics during the laat quarter of a oentury, but exactly which one it was! By the way, If we remember rightly, thfai war of Venesuela^has "oeased" several times within the last few years in foot, the first news we hear of a war in South or Central America is, frequently, that it haa oeased. This seems to be the only point of interest for North American readers about a war in that section of the world. The fact that a war has begun is almost too oommonplace a matter to deserve the attention of a newspaper correspondentbut when he can send word that a war has oeased, he hopes to excite a faint ripple of interinterest among his readers.

THE belief that America has too few holidays is gradually gaining ground. Wisconsin has just passed a law making election day a legal holiday. This has often been suggested, but never, we believe, put in practice, and the re* suits of the Wisconsin experiment will consequently be watched with interest. It has been held that if the day were a holiday a more nearly full vote would be brought out, and that, too, the right of suffrage would be exercised more generally by business men, the very class whose ballots it is most desirable should be polled.

THE New York Commercial Advertiser says: "Young men in society sometimes seem to try and see how stupid they can appear.

WHEN a man makes up his mind to do a thing, the sooner he pitches in to accomplish his purpose the better. A young fellow in Columbia county, Ohio, suits us to death. He courted a girl for a week. Knowing that procrastination was a thief ol time, he got a can of oysters and a license, invited the justice to his fair one's house at eight o'clock, and then popped the question, was accepted, pulled out the document and informed the maiden that the squire would be there at eight. She pleaded delay he couldn't see it. Her silk dress wasn't made calico would do. There was no stove in the west parlor off coat, and in ten minutes there was a fire roaring. The squire came, the job was fixed, and the newmade wife cooked the oysters.

EFFEMINATE

men have long consid

ered it the thing to part the hair of their heads in the middle, while, on the other band dashing young women, given to masculine ways, delight to appear with short curly hair parted at the side. In both cases the pmrtics show themselves in their true character. It would be well if the law allowed them to change costumes with each other. By a Paris letter it appears that this side-parting is to be the fashion. We doubt it, mainly because such a division cannot be becoming unless long tresses are sacrificed, and few of the belles will consent to that. It is fortunate this is the case. We do dot deny that a handsome girl adds to—can we say her beauty? no, rather her style—by parting her hair at the side, but it gives such an air of fastness that we should not like the custom to become general. We are of the same opinion in the matter as was the gentleman of tilting hoops who said: "Well, I rather do like tilters, so long as they are only worn by other fellows' wives."

He married a couple one day sold them their furniture the joezit in* short time aaenqardj»tend«d the wife medically attended her

THE present city of Omaha was flnt known as the O'Mahar binding, on account of a wealthy Irishman by that name who owned a lew thousand acres of land in that region, and who kept a wood-yard and a general notion store. In course of time, however, aa soon as it was known that the flourisMng woodpile would become a flourishing city, the name of the place was Indianised to Omaha.

THKRB IS a hotel in Menasha, Wisconsin, named after the proprietor and called the Fuss House. Phoebus what a name for a well regulated hotel.

The Fuss House will be famous. .*»

RIP VAN WINKLE is evidently postmaster of Knoxville, 111. Some three years ago a bag came to his postoAce and there it lay, kicked around, a nuisance to everybody who entered the, place. One day laat week the ponderous mind of the postmaster was illuminated with a brilliant idea. He would open the bag and examine its conteuts. He put the thought into act after he had studied over it for two days, and he found that the bag contained 200 letters, many of them very valuable. Knoxville is at present boasting of their wise postmaster, and want to know why the National Government doesn't remove him to a wider sphere of usefulness, as their town is' too limited for the exercise of his won-. derAil talents. One local paper suggests. that he would make an excellent poet-' master for the Desert of Sahara, as. about the time that waste of sand was pretty thickly populated he would be. ready to distribute the preoeding cena

SOMK women are peculiar. Not satisfied with having*afflcted their poor husbands through life, they want to prove a source of sorrow to them when they have retired to the "silent." One of this sort recently died }n Massachusetts. Previous to her death sho wrote a great many letters, which she directed to her husband, after which she placed them in the hands of a friend, whom she made solemnly promise thatone would be delivered every month asi long as they lasted. In the begining of his mourning the husband felt rather pleased than otherwise at receiving these semi-spiritual communications but when he had soothed his grief with another woman the letters lost their relish, and the poor fellow was rather bored by their dismal tenderness. This, however, wasn't the worst part of tho affair. Tbe new wife noticed the regular monthly receipt of the letters, bocame jealous, and his life was not made entirely happy by her exhibitions ol* temper. However, he softened her by explaining the whole matter, and she now satisfies her anger against her predecessor by burning the letters the instant they arrive. Thus one enterprising wife has shown beyond dispute that she could make herself an aflliction beyond the limits of this mundane sphere. •'4 *.

HE who writes "Topics of tho Times" in Scribner's Monthly 1Ba brave man. He dares the wrath of the girls that he may do a very sensible paragraph., Speaking ol boys' schools and girls' schools, and of tho vast superiority of tbe latter over tbe former, not only in the manner of teaching, but in tho comfort and care of tbe students, he refers to tbe cost. It takes "from one to two thousand dollars a year to support, a girl at these schools, including the expense of dresses." The concluding lines are so apropos, and so fully state the case, that we give them without comment "There are a great many young women in American boardingschools whose dress costs a thousand dollars a year, and even more than that sum. The effect of this over-dressing on the spirit and manners of those who Indulge in it, as Well as on those who are compelled to economical toilets, is readily apprehended by women, if not by men. Human nature in a girl, is perhaps, as human as it is anywhere, and so there comes to be a certain degree ol emulation or competition in dress among school girls, and altogether too mnch thought is given to the subject— to a subject which in school should absorb very little thought. We know of" but one remedy for this difficulty, and that is a simple uniform. We do not know why it Is not Just as well for girls to dress In uniforth as t6f boys. There are many excellent schools in England where the girls dress in uniform throughout tbe entire period spent in their education. We believe that a uniform dress is tbe general habit in Catholic schools everywhere. By dressing in uniform tbe thoughts of .all the pupils are released from the consideration of dress there is no show

weslth, and no confession of poverty. Girls from widely-separated localities and classes eome together, and stand or fall by scholarship, character, disposition, and manners. The term of study oould be lengthened by the use of tbe money that would thus be saved and while a thousand considerations favor such a change, we are unable to think of one that makes against it." There is no virtue and no amiable characteristic of yonng women that would not be relieved of a bane and nursed into healthy life by the abandonment of expensive dress st school. Wh» will lead tbe way in this most desirable reformt .C
