Kuntts-Photographer, Albany. What we need worse than the peo ple seem to think, is an A 1 opera house. There are thousands of squirrels In the river swamp, and any quantity of them can he found on the market. The boys continue to buy bicycles, and in a few more months there will be enough to have a regular tourna ment. People are beginning to put by the dollars, preparatory to having a little pile oil hand when the time for the World’s Fair rolls around. Dove-shooting is still indulged in by tlie nlmrtida. The extreme dry weather makes the doves seek the ponds for water late In the afternoon, ail#tine sport can he Imd. When Albany wakes up to the fact that she can't possibly get along with out an opera bouse, and builds one, she can bold her bead as high as any city In the country. Sometimes the dootors call it “mus cular rheumatism," and sometimes it is “malarial,” hut, no matter which name they give It, it hurts like blazes, and a good many people have it at tills season. The creeks are ill a beautiful condi tion for tUlilng, but the ttshermen are laying low on account uf the change of the weather. It Is now warm enough however for successful ang ling to bo attempted. The tick of the telegraph instrument can now he heard daily in the new Union Depot, and the work of laying tracks is progressing slowly hut Bure- ly. At the present rate Albany may have ample depot accommodations by —sometime In 18911. Why don’t the authorities hustle matters somewhat? Col. Reijbkn Jones, of Baker coun ty, snys Dr. Hand and his henohme'n are stirring things up down there in a lively manner. They won’t be able to do much with that 85(1 Democratic ma jority, however, and Hon. Ben E. Rus sell’s work there will keep matters straight. Besides, Baker county is not the Second Congressional district. This didn't occur in Albany, but there arc many of tho local readers- the Hbbald who will enjoy reading it. It comes to us by way of the Indian apollsNews: “It was in a large dry goods store, where cash is sent to the desk in little boxes whirring along on slender rails. The dog was following Ills pretty "mistress sedately enough, when he heard the sound and saw the swift lllght of tho cash-box. He thought it was a bird, and tore up and down the aisles alter it, scattering the crowd ami amusing everybody In sight. As ho would not be Convinced of ids delusion, he had to be removed forcibly from what lie thought the best limiting ground lie had ever struck.” There Trnnsneld Rr Dsuaherljr Superior Court I.nst Wcett—The Wheels of Justice [tjo/ing Smoothlj. People wtrp do not understand the inside workings of our courts Itavo Ill- tie idea of liow matters are expedited in tliesc latter days, and of the im mense volume of business transacted ill a seemingly very brief period. We hare a practical Illustration right here at home, where the Superior Court Inis been in session for I he past two weeks. The expense Incurred on Hie part of the county is about $125 per day, which goes to pa; the hailin', jurors—grand and traverse—andotiler expenses. The Judge and Solicitor are paid for their services by the State. Superior Court was ill session about four, days last week, the cost to the county during that time for maintain ing it being about $690. Yet the vol ume of business transacted would—as courts were conducted several years ago—liave consumed two weeks or a mQi1th. The amount involved was, perhaps, over $100,000, divided up into various small casts, eaoli one ol' wliioli had to have its bearing. A number of oases wore continued on account of /lie disability, through sickness, of some of the attorneys. The civil oases tried and settled by the court, and thf amounts Involved, dur ing Inst week, are us follows: Dur ham vs. Jan/es, $900 Involved; Tift & Co., vs. Walters, $119; Nelson vs. Nel- divoro.e; Burkwalter & Co., vs, THE REASON. file cannot possibly write out an ad until we can get things straighter, But if you’ll read "this we'll be glad, And we’ll get up a better one later. However, to-day, we’ve a word to say To each economical reader : Whatever you buy you should always hy, To find it at Bell's—the Deader. is considerable complaint throughout the city just now about the irregularity and insufficiency of the water flow from the city’s present sys tem of waterworks. There would be no cause for these complaints if so many people did hot^abuse their privi leges and leave their pipes open near ly all the time for tho purpose of wa tering their gardens and lawns. Dur ing an, ordlnnry time the four-inch main that supplies the water for the present system is sufficient to convey water to all consumers In the city, but when subscribers keep their openings running nearly all day and ail night, too, as is the oase during tho prevail ing drouth, the capacity of the mains is overtaxed, and somebody is sure to be without water at times.

At Mon roe College tlie course in music is very thorough, and when the Albany young ladies had passed tlie usual examina tion by the Professor of Music, he Complimented them very highly in deed,or rather itshould be said,compli mented t heir instructor.

Besides these many otiier cases wero disposed of by settlement between tlie lawyers, or tlie parties concerned. Many orders wero taken and cases disposed of by dismissal. The wheels of justice have been much expedited of late by easy agree ments between the attorneys of the parties concerned. Already, this week, an immense amount of criminnl business lias been disposed of, and, altogether, it will be seen that the expenses of court are only a drop in the bucket compared to the great amount of necessary busi ness it transacts. That amount reach ed, last week, nearly $100,000. If our court could do as much here after as it has done this session, with as little noise and as much expedition, the county and the people should be congratulated on the efficiency of its officers, and the ease with which dif ferences among its people are settled. Emm Tlnn-mlny's Kvkmng Hkkai.v. Something over a hundred Demo cratic citizens collected last night in t he courtroom to hear Democratic doc trines enunciated. All of Dougherty’s politicians were on hand and Tammany had a full rep resentation present led by their lu- vinoiple ohlef. About eight o’cloek the meeting wns called to order by Mr. Sidney Jones, President of the Young Men’s Demo cratic club, who made a short speech and then introduced Hon. BcnE. Rus sell. Mr. Russell spoke for something over half an hour, and told of tho bright prospects of the party and how tho campaign was progressing. He made a good cm nest talk appealing to everyone to work actively and enllm- si.istioally for a grand success In No vember. After Mr.Kuaa^l liml-finishedspeak ing, short speeches were made by Hon. \V. N. Spence, Upn. J. M. Griggs, and Col. J. W. Walters, eaeli of whom wns called to the stand. Their talks were highly entertaining and they were frequently applauded. Judge Bower was then cnlled for hut lie did not respond, ns it was an nounoed at tho conclusion of tho meet ing that he would address 'the Demo ernts of the county on next Fridny evening. It wns announced this morn ing, however, that Judge Bower would not speak on Friday on ncoount of tho fact that other causes will confliot It Is to be hoped, however, Mint he can arrange nnuther date, as everyone would like to hear him. Mr. Russell left early this morning for Leary. From there he will go down Into Baker county for a day’s work, and on Saturday tho 22ml he goes over to Dawson to All nn engage ment there. Ho is making a thorough and active canvass, and Ills earnest work for Democracy in the fight will make him more than worthy the bright laurels Mint ha,will wear. COTTON REPORT.

A gentleman who attended the Pou- hin Fair, yesterday, tells of a peculiar accident that befell one of Worth’s most highly respeoted oitizens. Tlie said citizen had a line horse out on the grounds, mid was making him perform a lot of tricks for the benefit of a crowd that had collected. One of the tricks was to" make tho animal get down on Ills knees by switching his legs witli a keen whip. Said tile citizen to the horse, “It the Third Party is dead get down on your knees,” and the words were accompa nied by several sharp raps from the whip. Tlie words seemed to he understood by the horse—undoubtedly of Third Party convictions—for he backed his ears, and, rushing upon his master, knocked him sprawling, and, making a savage grab with bis mouth, bit out a huge tuft of hair, Bkln ami meat from the top of the unfortunate man’s head. The blood flowed copiously, and a bald spot will, in future, adorn the top of the man’s cranium who got “bit.” There were n lot of T.

Rood Mhoei IVownilnya. I The Shoe and Leather Reporter,ail accepted authority upon all subjeots relating to footwear and the material that go into It, says there lias not beeti since the war so little “shoddy” used in slices us now. There are numerous imitations of calf, kangaroo, doiigoia, goat, etc., made from cowhide, and by the skill of mechanism they are re markably close imitations, but they nre generally sold for wliat they pur port to be and cannot be classified as substitutes. The pancake or pasted sole and heel is still used in tile man ufacture of low grade shoes, but to a less extent than forinerely. Leather is so cheap that a good button boot can be made solid throughout at 95 cents and $1, and perhaps less. Don’t.
