SBffalo Bill offered to hire the K Colisoum at Rome, and run the AWild West show in it. He will not get it. The Knights of Labor are having Sbig row among themselves, and a violent hostility to the Executive -Committee exists. The Tortilita mines are a fraud, The company passes a mining Elaim, and a few prospect holes save been dug, but nothing inmore. ¶his is Gen. King's c ,neern, The Shreveport Democrat says: -qv.

Merit does not always win. Meridian, Miss., is dissatisfied 1ith the rates chared by the Queen - Crescent System. The rate on -j barrel of flour from St. Louis to -jetidian is 61 gents, (it is 6-1 to -allu~ih, 17 miles from the river,) and the blusinaes men of that city >propose forming a nlavig:tion corn spay, and to charter or operate a a boat between St. Louis and SViecksburg. SA new remedy has been discov. ered for insomnia. It is a pint of water. Sometimes the stomalch will not assimuilate water, in whichl pras a little stimnulant should be inaixed with the water. If itis a badcase however, there should be S1preponderance of the stimulant, -'or mix a little-very little-water -with thie stimulant. It might be appropiriate to rc - mark that Eustis would never have been U. 8. Senator but for the votes of two negroes. Yet he wants a white nou's government. --t. Mary Review. - Yes it might be appropriate, but istm't. That rot has been ex ded long ago, but all the idiots not dead yet, and every now then, some candidate for the o asylum, rises to remark. New York Star is about as ous as the New Orleanns . Anything the World the 8tar opposes, just as the "t'agin" anything the Times adveates, The Star that "Mr. Nicoll mighbt pzosuinated to the Dis ip had it not been r of tlhose wivo blie ." The World -amnpion, and Ii-re 8am in be hoped' W1'Yi IS THIS 1 The New York Sun earnestly advocated the nomini tion of As-I sistant I)i-trict Attorney l)cLa:icy Nic: !i for District Attorney. Mr., Nicu!i niiunt.v'"i thi !o,, al 'der I ,ci case, ald the J.ke S::arp cau. 'T'h, l,reisent DIistrict .Atturi:ey of New York. Mr. Martine is not a cal:n tilat, 1r retinfini tion. ie expects awl deserves a jtdtlge.-iil,. There war a general pol;,ir tde deu:and, for the notminil.un o' . Nicoll. Of course ti:e hooilers who are inl exile, andl theiir frie. s and sympatlizers who ire not, are oppost.d 1:atur:lly to Mr. Nicu:l. The World, S:ui and Her ald all favored M3r. Nicoll. Thel l[orald demuaitiel it. The Sun advocated it, and The World favor. ce! it. 'Tie HIerald pullished article after article in favor of `j r. Nicoli'si nomination so did the Sun. Y tt they both flop, suddeniy to the other track and oppose it. The Heraldi was ever a hlopper and trimmer. It always cjhricd favor with the rul ing powers, aid its flop was not a surprise. The Sutl, was always malicious. P'letending to be detu ocratic, it was only so because Dana was disappointed in getting what he wanted. It had a large circulation in the South because of its supposed democracy, and no mealier, low flung, malicious, things were eversaid about the lSouth and the Southertn people, tihan were said by the Sun. After advocating the nomination of Mr. Nicoll the Sun came out one morning last week with this: So far as we have known Mr. Nicoll and so far as we have watch ed his course, we have learned to esteem him highly. But the more we admire the attainments of so young and promisimng a lawyer, the more profoundly we deplore his asoociation with the World and the championship, of which, success jtl or unsuccessful, he must be the victim. We have withdrawn from our support of Mr. Nicoll because we distrust the World .and its mo tives and because more than sus picion exists to indicate what these motives are. Col. Jno. R. Slay back was slhot and killed, under shocking circumstances, in St. Louis, in the editorial rooms , f Mr. Pulitzer's newspaper, by Col. Jno. R. Cockerill, then as now Mr. Pulitzer's managing editor. It1 has been charged that the reason why the St. Louis Grand Jury fai - ed to inthct Col. Cockerill for mur der, was that such was the degree of Mr. Pulitzer's hold upon the District-Attorney of St. Louis and his adlministration that the indict ienltt was frustrated. WVt can see no avoidance of the truth or the effect of these statements, but it is our maniiest duty to take account of them in the lig'ht of an unprece dented, frantic and astounding1 effort which the same men are now making to obtain what is virtually the routrol of the District-Attor ney's office. This, from the Sun, from Charles A. Dana, from the miman who struck a woman, who appealed to him for help on the wreck of a Sounnd steamer, a few years ago. Joe Mlulhattan is nowhere, Eli Per kins is truth personified, Tom Ochiltree is an angel, and a re publican campaign circular, a gos pel truth, beside of this. The World was in favor of Mr Nicoll all along, and the Sun knew it. UCau its admirers explain this sudden change of--not heart-for Dana has nonec, but this sudden change of front ?
