The Council Bluffs National bank has commenced injunction proceedings to prevent the county treasurer from col lecting the tax against the concern , it being claimed that the assessment was too high. The White Shield movement in this city is interesting a large number of ladles and they are entering upon the work of reforming society with much en thusiasm. Each church in the city is to have a branch and frequent meetings are being held. Now walks arc needed in Bnylisspark. . They should bo raised out of the reach of water and then in wet weather pe destrians will not bo forced to go around upon the sod. The grass along the walks has been killed out by the many feet which leave the muddy walks in times of ruin und mud. The funeral of Andrew Hooton was hold yestordav afternoon and was quite largely attended considering the storm. The members of thu volunteer tire de partment attended in a body and the pall bearers wore selected from their ranks. Itov. Dr. McCreary was the officiating clergyman. Captain Anderson justifies himself in bringing the arrested fishermen right by two of the nearest magistrates by saying that ho was simply following the instruc tions of the county attorney , who told him to bring any wnom he might arrest right to the county jail. The law is said to require the officer to take prisoners in such cases before the nearest magis trate. It took three collections in one evening at the Salvation army meeting to get enough money to send away two now cadets , who now start out tor their field of work. The amount needed was only f 8. It seems that there must bo many narrow souls , hardly worth trying to save. The hall itf packed nightly , and those who go there do so because they prefer that place to others. If they be- If- liovo in the meetings , they should show * ' their laith by their works. If they go simply to bo entertained or amused , they should bo as willing to pay for the enter tainment ns they are at other places. Free salvation seems to bo taken too lit- L orally by a lame proportion of those who \ ; go to the Salvation army hall. ji J. G.

The Engineering ; News devotes an arti cle in the current number to country roads. In many cases , it says , their con dition is even worse than when the stage coaches and teams of Conestoga wagons of our grandsires' day made some care of them n public necessity. What is wanted , it continues , is an engineer , se lected under conditions that will insure his competency , fairly paid for his work , and clothen with power to enforce his plans , when any plans are to bo carried out , and who will be personally respon sible for the character of his own work and the soudness of his judgment m de ciding upon the merits of county struc tures designed by other parties. Any such official powers in the hands of a competent engineer , and his pro posed freedom from embarrassing rela tions with for such work incompetent county officials , would bo such a wide departure from present practice , that wo cannot pretend to formulate a law upon this subject. That it would bo desirable in the interest of good engineering , and true economy , even the most prejudiced cannot deny ; that the initiative step must bo taken by those who ultimately pay in taxes or in lifo for the blunders of the ignorant. Even the farmer consults his doctor when sick in body , and his lawyer when his legal rights are being assailed , and never dreams of substituting ono for the other or consulting himself. Yet ho seems to think that ho or his neighbor can build nil the bridges , roads , etc. , select the best plan from many of any proposed structure , and in fact do all the engineering work his neighborhood re quires. That he docs it now is often the fact ; but that ho does it well is open to the gravest doubt. Every county at least needs its fully recognized county engineer with whom the layman should bo compelled to con sult , and who should have power to act. When this is accomplished WP can then , and only then , bo considered as begin ning to remove conditions that are now a national reproach. We admit that our country is new : that the government does not care for our highways as in Europe ; that our counties arc too poor to expend the sums required for good work , and that the proposed improve ment upon present conditions is too vast an undertaking for any ono generation , and that this improvement must neces sarily be slow. But while admitting this , wo also con tend that under present control the ma jority of our county governments , especially the poor ones , waste much money by misdirected and ignorant attempts at well-doing ; that the manual Jabor now expended is about as effective in securing the end sought after , as would bo transporting water in a sieve ; and finally the sooner we commence to im prove upon bad practice , and realize that our advance in other directions de mands immediate attention in this direc tion , the better for all parties concerned.

Essex Telegraph : Great excitement has been created in the neighborhood by the circumstances under which a dead body was recently wheeled on u hand cart from London to the village qf Little Horkesloy , a distance of more than fifty miles. Iho deceased was a young woman named Amoy Carey Dansey. She was brought up by her grandfather and grandmother at their liomo at Little Horkesloy.and when old enough wont out to service. Sometime ago she was at tacked by consumption , and rapidly growing worse , was removed to Brompton hospital , whore she died early in the present month. Among those who had constantly visited the girl while she was in the hospital were her mother and Her stepfather , Joseph Boll , living in London. In answer to her oft repeated desire to bo buried in Little Horkesley churchyard , Ball had assured her that she should bo buried there ; but as the event proved , the promise was not easy to fulfill. Being a cabinetmaker , Ball was able to make the coffin himself : but the question of the conveyance of the body to Little Uorkesloy presented great dilUoultiea. In consequence of an accident , Bait bad for nineteen weeks been out of work , and , having a family dencn'dcnt on him , was in considerable stritlts. ilo ascer tained that if the coilln wore removed by rail to Colchester , and tlienco to Little llorkosloy.tho cost would bo i'l 2s. , which was moro than ho could afford , but ho remembered his promise , and determined to wheel the body down by road. On the Sunday ovonintr following the girl's death lie had finished the collin , and having - ing obtained a certificate from the regia- trarhe placed the collin on his handcart , and wont to fetch the body from the hospital. At first the hospital authorities refused to let him have it , but were rea- Mired , anil gave their consent , lie took away the body at HJO : ! that night , and by fi10 : ! next morning was on the road to Colchester. Hall tints relates the story of his jour ney : "I wheeled the body on the handcart , and 1 brought my scco'nd little boy with mi ! , aged about ten. Ilo rode on the collin down lull and on the level road , but when we had to go up hill he hclpi-d to push a little , because i was so weak and ill. The first day 1 put up two miles short of Ingatcstone , at an inn. On the night of the second day 1 reached Wit- ham , and put up at the Swan. Two men came to me and wanted to know what I had got in the collin. Ono of them said ho was a detective , and ho said , 'I de mand to look inside. ' 1 said , 'Show mo your warrant card , ' and ho could not do so. Wo had a bother , and he would have forced open the collin ; but ivy master is always stronger than the devil , and ho gave mo strength to struggle with the man and put him out of the house. 1 then sent my little boy for a policeman , and then the row was over , The inspector of police afterward came and took mv name and address , and I showed him the certificate ot death and answered all his inquiries satisfactorily and truthfully. Next morn ing I started about half past 8 , and ar rived at little Horkesley just after G on Wednesday night.

Carroll County ( Mo. , ) Correspondent Globe-Democrat : Perhaps there is no other county in the United States that can make as remarkable a showing of living children , in ono family , as the Minnis family of Carroll county , Mo. Of this family of brothers and sisters there are seven survivors , whose com bined ago is 445 years , and who are all between the ages of sixty anil seventy years , as follows : Charles , sixty-nine ; John , sixty-eight ; Jane ( Graham ) sixty- six ; James , sixtv-fivc " ; Wiirron , sixty-four ; Sarah ( Hraden ) , sixty-two ; Robert , sixty. These children came to Carroll county with their parents ( Thomas and Pamela Minnis ) from Tennessee lifty-four years ago , and all except two are still residents of this county , and are among its most respected and trustworthy citizens. The huge , drastic , griping , sickening pills are fast being superseded by Dr. Piorco's "Puragative Pellets. " Sold by druggists. Chinese Satnpnns. Cor. Baltimore Sun : Looking over he side we see the first evidence of our ipproach to the llowery kingdom , for wo are surrounded by sampans manned by Chinese oarsmen. These boats arc short and flat-bottomed , with the bow looking 'ike the snout of an alligator and the item rounding up into two curved spars n the same fashion as the handles of a baby-carriage. The boatmen stand up and propel them by mishinjr the oars , the handles of which they cross in front of them. These boats are generally painted in bright colors , and always have a largo eye painted on each bow. If you ask a boatman why those eyes are there ho will answer you : "No nab eye , how can see ? No can see , how can sabez ? No can sabez , how can do ? " The boat men don't wear much clothing , but they make up for such lack by wearing a cone- shaped hat from two to tlirco feet in diameter. nurdott'a Hooks and Lectures. Lippincott's : The lectures were finan cial successes ; in a few years the fee grew from anything I could get to $100 a night , and as many engagements as there are nights in the week.
