Oil the Manifold Smells of our Prairie City.

To Editor of the GAZETTE: I live in the knobs of Honey Creek, near Lockport. I was in the city the other day, and as 1 had heard a great deal said about your sweet perfumes I thought I would keep iny eyes and note open. I wcs all through the South End. I saw and smelled so much that I do not know where to begin or end my description but I will begin with the fragrant region which lies between second street and the river. There is enough there to appal the 6toutest nose. Perfumes not like unto those wafted from Araby the blest," but far sweeter, figuratively speaking. First I came to that hole in the ground called the Artesian well. It has a fair exterior, but the exhalations arising from it would cause a Memphitis Ameri cana to turn tail and run. The denizens in that vicinity all have nasal demonstration of the fact that the well has an existence. Perhaps it is well that thev have. If it was necessary to plug up Roses well what should be done with the famous Artesian? Passing down the river a short distance I came to the gas works not such gas works as are found in the market house or at the corner of Third and Ohio, but gas works which can be 6melled, not heard. The odor is differ, ent from that which exhales from the well it is sui generis, but also very eppressive, even to an African. Not far below the gas works I came to the greatest perfumery in the world, that pride of

Continuing my peregrinations, I came to two or three slaughter houses, one belonging to a man who is both lamb-like and bland, and the others to Seeberger and a party whose name I do not know. For fifteen or twenty years past* these bull-pens have contributed their share to the purification and fumigation of the city. In this neighborhood the typhoid malaria has been fatal this season. The malaria is from the distillery and slaugh-ter-houses. These places produce compound that is sufficient to sicken dog. How much milk do we drink and how much pork and juicy beef-steaks do we eat which come from these places in the shape of swill?

Being disgusted with the west-side, I wended my way to the southeast part of the city. It is fortunate thai the great brewery of Mayer has the benefit of sewer to run off the washings of the beer kegs. It was not always so. The water in the old canal was impregnated with it until filled u,, yet there is a loud smell proceeding from that establishment. South of the brewery I came to a large pond, apart of the old canal. It is long and deep and has been tor years the re ceptacle for dead cats, do^s, hogs, and for aught I know, dead intants. Ice is cut off of it, which is used in the city. It is a convenience for plasterers and affords healthy drink for hundreds of cows and horses. How healtky and pure must be the milk obtained from the cows which slake their^ thirst there! All of Bagdad is flat. It is a foul, fever-breed-ing locality, but I suppose that the reason why the city does not drain it is because nobody but niggers live there anyway. A sewer is needed there more than on Main street. Drainage is needed in the old bed of Lost Creek, both above and below the nail works. It is true that a ditch has been dug connecting with the old sewer near Poplar street, but water can not be made to run up hill. I might re fer to other delightful spots which I saw,' but I have said enough to convince the most obtuse that a thorough drainage is needed, and that it is necessary to abolish as nuisances, some of our sweet scented periumeries.

What it Say* of Itself in Double Leads.

Not much and the economists who sit upon store-boxes, and stain the sidewalk with tobacco spit while they discuss the affairs of the nation and bemoan their sad lot in the sight of a placard calling for shovelers at $1.10 a day, will not find it an organ to advance their peculiar yiews. On the contrary, those new in control believe in a future for this country and for this city—that there is no country in the world in which the poor man has so good a chance to rise, and that there is no city in \yhich industry can procure a home with greater ease than in this,—that our men of energy and enterprise are entitled to an exponent in their leading "daily," [The after the word "leading" is ours. The writer of the article seems to had 110 doubt on the question. Probably some stranger.—[ED. GAZ.] and that it should be, and will be, the function of this paper to let the outside world know something of the opportunities presented here for business enter prise. With our sky nightly lighted up with the fires of rolling mills and blast furnaces, running night and day to fill orders—our largest manufactories with engagements for months in advance—our car works with orders for twelve hundred cars, and our city humming with industry, it will not be'the daily task of this paper to chill the enterprise of our people with moanings and gloomy forebodings, but rather to stimulate and encourage by reflecting our true condition.

In a few days arrangements will be perfected for placing the paper in able editorial and business hands, when it is hoped it will give forth—not jarring notes of discord out of harmony with all the city's interest, but a tuneful quickstep to which we can all march on to the road to progress.

THE EDITORIAL LOCUSTS." From the Indianapolis Journal: A letter to the Journal from Kinsley, Kan., under date of the 14th, is inclined to convey the impression that the "editorial excursionists" were mainly a humbug in the eyes of the Kansas people. The writer "characterizes the excursion "'as pretty good ou the railroad—260 people and about ten editors—twenty five white people to an editor," etc., and the local paper at Dodge has the following:

What queer ideas Eastern people have of things in general out West. The editorial exeursion that halted at Dodge, yesterday, were wonderfully inquistive when they beheld a large ox train standing near the depot, ready for their trip south. The greatest curiosity was manifested by those people taom the East. While some were endeavoring to ascertain the number of oxen hitched to one wagon and begun counting the animals up one side and down the other, otherswere speculating how it was possible th get the yoke on those cattle with such extended horns, but when told that they had been yoked when quite young they appeared perfectly satisfied, and were quite certain that it was next to an impossibility to place yokes on oxens with horns six teet from tip to tip. Another was closely scrutinizing the wheels of the wagon, making measurement of the fore wheels and comparing the measurement of the hind wheels, which he found were considerably the largest. Just what particular ideas run through hie mind we are unable to guess—unless it was how those small wheels could keep out of the way of the larger ones. Still another dicker up on the drivers' long whips, and as he had early training in driving his father's oxen while he was turning over the virgin soil of.Indiana, he of course could not resist the temptation of giving an exhibition of his skill in handling a Dullwnip. The first sweep he made raked three bonnets and two plug hats, besides twisting the lash about his own neck several times, which came very near choking him to death—he lost no tiire in extracting himself and getting to the car, where no doubt he was severely censured by the ladies and gentlemen for his actions

Those who will control this paper in the future do not believe that the bottom has fallen out of the whole United States —that gaunt misery has taken possession of the land—that our furnace fires have died out, and rust and ruin are in their places—that our work-shops are silent and workmen idle—that our laws are made expressly to oppress the poor— that the man who by industry has secured himself a home and bread, should give it up, or any part of it to the lazy louts who lie in the fence corners—that a blight and a mildew covers the whole land, and can only be removed by going back to chaos and old night—that our city especially is in the black hole ot ru in, and that all pluck and energy have been crushed out of our people.

week there was

__ a Sunday

School assembly for the state of Minnesota, held at Minnetonka Lake, near St. Paul, in that State. The ser\ices were held in an immense tent. Wednesday evening a concert was given by Miss Fanny Kellogg assisted by local talent. From the St. Paul Pioneer-Press the following mention of Miss Kellogg's singing was taken:

The "Air et Varie," by Rhde, a very brilliant piece, was superbly rendered byMiss Fanny Kellogg. She sang the theme in a beautiful, sustained, violin quality of tone, and the variations were executed with wonderful brilliancy aad clearness. In the Taubert songs, so charming in their freshness and simplicity, she fairly captivated her audience. She was no less successful in the "Blue Alsatian Mountains."

Miss Kellogg possesses that rare gift of perfect enunciation. This, together with her sweet voice and gracious manner, makes her a most interesting and delightful singer. She responded most cheerfully and successfnllv.to the intense delight of her audience. To Miss Kellogg it is difficult to accord too much lavish praise. Her singing won for her unstinted compliments, and will be an attraction which will draw the attendance of large audiences whenever her name is announced. Miss Kellogg will remain for some time at the Park and in Minne sota, which is the home of her parents.

TWO GRAVE ROBBERS.

THE EXPERIENCE OF TWO "BORKERS" THE HISTORY OF A GRAVE ROBT BER'S EXPEDITION.

From the Indianapolis Sentinel. Two men took it into their heads that they would like to go into the "stiff raising" business. They accordingly applied to a friend, who was known to be up to snuff, for to aid them, and promised to have the "doctor" call for them on Thursday eveniug. Thursday evening came and with it the two men. They were met by their friend, who told him that the police were watching his place, so that to avoide detection they would have th go to a place on North Illinois street, where the doctor would meet them. The friend also said that by some misfortune the "doctor" had forgot to take the box of tools with him, and as nothing could be done without the tools the men would be obliged to carry them to th appointed place. The men picked up the box, which weighed

160

pounds, and

were let out through the back entrance They were then tolp to be very careful as the toe Is were valude at

two aspirants for graveyard fame trudged along with their burden to the appointed place. They were there told that the "doctor" had been there with the wagon but had just left for fear the police would get on to him. And that he had left word for them to follow immediately and meet him at a certain place on East Washington street. The men started again with their burden sliding through alleys and hiding in dark corners whenever any [footsteepa were heard approaching. They were kept going from place, to place by the jokers until completely tired out, when they secreted the box and went back to their friends, to whom they related their misfortunes, and described where the valuable ols weresecre ted ..The boa was found bv a merchant pliceman, who opened it and dumped its contents, which was brck aud cinders, into a, vacant space.
