THE sbow of Sells Brothers was at Salem on Tuesday. It cost Mr. Mobley, hardware morcbaut, $200 to let his boys see the procession and the seven ele'pbsnts. While they were in front a thief got out of the rear with |200 from the money drawer. rt

THB average "life sentence" served by convicted murderers in Illinois is three and a half years. The Chicago InterOoean says that out'of 814 murderers sent to the Illinois penitentiary, 162 have escaped after brief imprisonments, through Executive clemency,

Tat. Albany Sunday Press needn't pretax a "perhaps" when it says "one of the ,-most serious hindrances to the return of ^better times is the vast number of young yjmen adrift in the large cities who can vget nothing to do, simply because they can do nothing that anybody wants •-done."

GBX. GRANT and Prince Bismarck compared notes on the question of capital punishment and found that they were both in favor of it. Bismarck said he resigned the government of Alsace because he was required to commute sentences of a capital nature, which he could not do conscientiously,

AT Elmwood, Ills., last Saturday, L. D. Atchinson made a balloon ascension, and when about two hundred feet high, lost his hold of the trapeze bar, fell and was instantly killed. He was a noted aeronaut and acrobat, and was with the Barnum show awhile after Prof. Donaldson was lost. Some five years ago his ballon burst, at an elevation of 2,000 feet, but forming a sort of parachute he descended so slowly a? ...to esoape with his life.' v' ^'.j

A LABOR number of the students of Eastern colleges are enjoying the cool breesee of summer resorts, acting as waiters in the different hotels. The New York Times says: "In one hotel a Cambridge man is a waiter, a Dartmouth senior la assistant head waiter, and a freshman from Bates College sells photo* graphs in the oorridor. It Is said that the collegiate waiters are much more satisfactory to the guests than the old ones, as they keep their tbumta conscientiously out of the soup."

FROM Iowa comes the report that there hi eoarcity of harvest bands and the wheat Is suffering for want Of cutting, while the towns are fall of tramps and loafers, who refuse 12.50 a day for work and are howling "hard times" and "more greenbacks." We doubt not there are other places in this country whioh present much the same state of ,j||, affairs. The truth is that while there are some people who are willing to work but cant find employment, there area good many who don't want employment and will not work when they have a chance.

They prefer to be idlers, tramps and blatherskites. "''fee

ITia sot often that preachers are nom tnated for Congress, but the lightning does strike in the pulpit sometimea. In tbe Indianapolis district the Rev. De La Matyr waa put in nomination by the Nationals the other day and has ex* pressed his intention of aoospting the nomination. It is generally understood that if he does so the Democrats will indorse him, or at leeat make bo nomination, and in that event the contest will be a close one for the Hon. John llanna, the present incumbent, although he ia very popular. It is not likely, however, that he will "carry the flag to victory by 3,000 majority," as he expressed his belief of being able to do when nominated a couple of weeks ago.

THE Nationals, IN convention at Goeport, on Wednesday, nominated for Congress, Henry A. White, adltor of the Clinton Indianian, *rbo, as^Hiefly biogrsphied in the Exprem, is a. married man with four children, a farmer till 1864, a lawyer since, once a representative in the legislature, formerly a Republican, and now in moderate circumstsnn»i. an experienced speaker, a forcible writer, and forty yean of age.
