DAILY JOUUNAJL OFFICIAL PAPKIIVOF T1IK CITY. ji Saturday A.NW OONSOIISNTlOUto OF UUTV. A NEW NAME Foil up conspicuously in our city post-office is the following conundrum: Why is" certain Charley like a female 'earnestly wishes she were a roan'f Because he desires to.be a mail Bagg, but is against him." The writer of this conundrum evidently regards Stephen A. Douglas' nnd 'Manifest Destiny as identical, as it is generally understood that 'The Little Giant' has the handling of these appointments. It is suggested however that J.

BRIGHT SMITH is entitled to at least half the honor of this new cognomen, so far as this particular locality is.conccrned. Bagg's friends nevertheless, do not seem inclined to give up the ship. So long as he stands unanimously, endorsed hy the Democrats of this city and recommended as their choice for Postmaster, they imagine Stephen A. Douglas will find an inklingof something like "Manifest Destiny in that fact, and that he will live up to his professions of abiding by the will of the majority. "We shall sec.

To us outsiders this Kilkenny fight is ftrll of amusement. A Strunge Comet Struck. The N. Y. Tribune of Wednesday, the 17th, publishes a letter dated at Utica, N.

the 14th, giving an account of the falling of a meteor in that vicinity on the 13th, the day appointed for the comet, and of the entiie destruction by it of a barn belonging to a Mr. Root in Deerfield, a house belonging to John Warren in Schuyler, a barn belonging to a Mr. Budlong and fences and out houses without number. It killed Mrs. Warren instantly, and a son ot hers was so injuecd that he has died since.

It-was not exactly a meteor, but a strange sweeping thing like an elephant's trunk, which swayed through the air near the ground, carrying death and destruction with it, and at last was drawn up into the clouds again. Hundreds of people have visited the spot. Mr. Warren is nearly ruined by the destruction done to his property, and many others have suffered severely. It is a strange story and reads very much like a hoax, and yet it seems to be well authenticated.

The same day there was a terrific hurricane in Sche- liectady county, but no wind at another strange fact. What next?

Thedif- ciilties in New York City, between Mayor WOOD and his party and the new Police Commissioners have been augmenting. The excitement is intense. Mayor WOOD has been arrested. Forty especial policemen have been sworn in and the city Armory is filled with soldiers. It is rumored that SIMEON DKAPEII, has been appointed Mayor by Governor King.

When the first attempt was made to arrest Wood, resistance was made and a serious riot ensued. The Metropolitan Police, while ascending in a body the City Hall steps, were beaten back with clubs by the Mayor's Police, and many of them badly Pike reported badly wounded. 'MY WIPE AND i. As through the land at eve we went, And plucked the ripened ears, We fell out, my wife and 1, 0, we fell out, I know not why, And kissed again tvith tears. For when we came where lies the child We lost in other years, There above the little grave, 0, there above the little grave, We kissed again with tears.

at last, and turned our horses up to it, and quite a young woman came to the door. 1 asked if she could accommodate us, and she bawled and said she supposed she must i ior the next place where we could sleep as miles off, and bad traveling at that. "But mind," she said, "you must behave yourselves, for we are a couple of married women here alone, for our husbands are gone to-Iowa City, and won't be back for two days." We promised, ami, having put our horses up in the barn, went into the house. We found them very nice people who came from Ohio. They gave us a good supper of Indian meal cakes, fried with bits of pork, and some tea.

After they had cleared things away, I showed signs of want of sleep, when one of them said "Strangers, when you want to go to bed there is a shake down for you in are going to bed now, and you can comj when you are a rnind to." "Judge of my surprise," said our traveling companion, "when my brother Bill, who had been in the West two years, started up and said, 'Come, Jee, -we might as well go-along following him, we all made a sociable thing of it, and four of us brother and myself in one bed, and they in soundly that night. Since then I have slept with whole families, and hold, soilqui inal pense is the motto. It don't amount to anything after you get used to it." "No, I suppose not," suggested, and then asked him if he ever heard the story of the fellow who went to bed under similar circumstances. He felt great hesitation in pulling off his pants before the daughter of the host, who was divesting herself of her day garments near by. At last he mustered courage, when he imagined one waslook- ing, and was instantaneously greeted by Seraphinn, ho exclaimed, "Stranger, those shanks of yours ain't no great shakes!" My friend said he didn't believe it was and I turned the conversation.

Winning A ISel. A Georgia negro was riding a mule along, and came to a bridge, when the mule stood still. "I'll bet you a quarter," said Jack, "I'll make you go ober dis bridge," and with that struck the mule over the cars, which made him nod his head suddenly. "You take de bet den," said the negro, and contrived to get the mule over the bridge. "I won dat quarter, anyhow," said Jack.

Minis. SKRRKS, from Paris, Operator. septl5dawly PIANOS AND learn iUiin ran Do A correspondent of the N. Y. who gives the facts i-i his own experience, shows what a man who has the will to do, can accomplish in Illinois! Six years ago, the man came to this State from llavcrhill, bought him a quarter section of land for $5 an acre, and had only money enough to make one payment.

lie went to work himself, and hired a boy to help him for $10 a month. The following paragraph explains the rest: At the end of the third year I had the whole farm paid for, with a house worth $1,000 and three miles of fence on it. The same year I had a crop of white winter wheat which yielded 27 bushels to the acre and sold for $1,25 per bushel, making a cash income of $33 per acre. Twenty bushels of wheat and forty bushels of corn per aero is a fair average crop, although corn, i if cultivated as at the East, yield from 75 to 1UU bushels per- aero. A man and boy, with four horses, can plow and cultivate 100 80 of wheat, 20 of oats, and 50 of corn, lie will need the assistance of a reaper to cut the wheat and and a thrashing machine to thresh it.

All the rest of the labor he can do without additional help."

From the St. Louis Daily Evening News. About five o'clock last evening the steamer Amazon came in from New-Orleans, and while yet more than a mile below the city, the sound of her new musical instrument, the (Jalliope, could be distinctly heard over half of our city.

Before she had arrived at the wharf, the river bank was crowded by persons ofall ages, sizes, colors, and sexes, us well as by all kindreds, tongues and languages, that dwell upon the earth. Merchants left their stores, clerks their desks, and loafers their rat-holes, to see the boat and. hear the music. When the stage was out a rush was made for the hurricane roof where the'instrument was placed, and all looked and listened to their heart's While in New-Orleans the crowds were so great on the roofs as to require an oxtra prop to keep the deck from falling in. The Amazon will hereafter be the popular "boat in St.

Louis and New-Orleans trade. The Calliope will win, there is no mistake about it. The instrument spoken of in the above, dollah to get corn, an' I take de quarter out" "Aw well can bo expected." The room is darkened. The curtains of the bed are drawn. The fire burns clear and bright; and through a door that opens from the bedroom into the dressing-room, one can discern another brighter fire; a towel-horse, covered with small articles of delicate baby-linen, a little cot, shaded with curtains of rose-silk and white lace; and on the tiny pillow a small head in a little many frilled and reeved white cambric cap, and a tiny, soft, velvet face of dusky red, the eyes so tightly closed as to form only two lines, the mouth the same, and the miniature fists, crimson as the face, tightly clenched, as if ready for the "battle of life." On a table, close to the little swing-cot, was the, bassi- nette central object and chief glory being alarge, square, white satin pin-cushion, frilled with lace, studded with pins enough to last a life, if pins ever did last, and en- cirolcd by a silver wrcuth of the bright heads of these "friends in words, "WELCOME, SWEET BABE!" A Touching Memorial.

In its description of the gravestones around the old church in Jamestown, the South Side Democrat gives the following Among the gravestones are two, of a husband and wife, immediately east of the arched portal of the tower, between which, many a score of years ago, the seed of a sycamore fell and took root. Time passed, downs about it. Such cases are numerous all over this State, and the west. We can go into every town in Stcphenson county and find scores of good well to do farmers, farmers who arc wholly out of debt and have money to loan, whose experience is but a counterpart to that related above. That farming pays" in Illinois, where lands cest not half what they do east, where labor costs no more, and where the nett receipts from the soil are equally as large as they are east because the lack of a few cents per bushel is more than made up by the extra needs no discussion to show.

Any young man with energy can in a few years build up for himself on the fertile acres of Stcphenson a beautiful home, and an independent fortune, relying solely upon the product of honest toil for his returns. There is no need of western farmers turning speculators. They can have no more tempting inducements held out to them, thnn offered by the legitimate business in which they engaged. The steady advance in wealth among our agricultural classes in the west is one of the grand facts of this era. The annual conversion of bone and sinew into substantial commercial value, is beyond computation.

Every year is adding to our already bountiful resources, and the broad expanse of prairie which has for ages been but the playground of creation, where buffaloes roamed at will and sweet scented wild flowers bloomed all unseen by man, is selves of. lie is also selling hltilarui and well-known Catalogue of Music at one-third off rlu regular prices, and will forward the same tree of postage.

Of the future of the west, when all these acres are producing what God intended them to produce, when farm houses are sprinkled over our land in rich profusion, andorchards bend with the weight of abundant fruit, no man can form yn adequate idea.

He who lives te see that day will behold the great Valley of the Mississippi the garden of the world, and Illinois the Empire Stattt. With the present rate of increase, that is not far distant. While the best of farming all ready for the plow, can be bought at less than half what average farms east, a large number of the most enterprising will certainly cotae west. Men will where they can maike their labor, pay the best, especially wheire they are not obliged to sacrifice the advantages- e-f school, churches and good society, to do it. Hence at is that Northern Illinois is now filling lap with good class of eastern emigrants and hence; it is that this process of fillang up certain to continue until the vacant acres- are all occupied.
