die annually from these diseases when the cause
is either nor known or attributed 20 something
else. VatioIs are tie preparations which have
been Recommended as remedies for worms, but

ANrcporE OF GEN. TAyLoR,-CHARLEs
F, HoFFMAN in review, IN me Literary
World, OF Montgomery's Life oil Gen Iaylor'
tut published BY Derby q Coz reia'es lne
following anecdote which he heard amid the
early scenes of the Black Hawk war on
Rock river, and which scenes most charac-
teristic Of the Rough and Ready oil later
years: ,.,,,
Some time after Stillman's defeat BY Black
Hawks band. Taylor, marched with a large
body Of volunteers and handful Of regulars
of the hostile Indian force, found himself ap
preaching Rock River, then asserted by many
10 be the true northwestern boundary oil the
State of Illinois The volunteers, as Taylor
was informed tLey would refuse 10 cross the
stream, They were militia, they said, called
out for the defence of the State, and 1t was
unc institutional TO order them TO march be-
yond the frontier into the Indian country
TAYLOR thereupon hailed his command. and
encamped within the acknowledged houn-
daries OF Illinois He would not. as the re-
lator of the story said, bulge an inch farther
without orders. He had already driven
Black Hawk out of the Stale. but The ques-
lion of crossing Rock River seemed hugely
10 trouble his ideas OF integrity 10 the consii-
tuilOu on OuC oiuC, duu
on The otnrr. During the night, however,
orders came, either from Gen Scott or Gen,
Atkinson, for him to follow up Black Hawk 10
the last. The quieiness OF the Regular colo
nols meanwhile had rather encouraged the
mutinous Militia 10 bring their proceedings 10
a head A sort OF town-meeting was called
upon the prairie. and Taylor invited TO at
tend. Alter listening for some time very
quietly TO the proceedings, it became Rough
and Ready's turn 10 address The chair. He
had heard he said, with much pleasure The
views which several speakers had expressed
or the independence and dignity oil each pri-
vale American citizen. He felt tina: all gen.
tlemen there present were his equals-in re-
atty, he was persuaded that many Of them
would in few years be his superiors, and
perhaps, in the capacity OF Members of
Congress, arbiIers Of The fortune and reputa-
ton Of humble servants of the Republic like
himself. He expected them 10 obey them as
interpreters of the will OF the people, and the
best proof he could give that he would obey
then, was TO observe the orders Of
those whom the people had already put in
the places Of authority, 10 which many gen.
Iemen around him Justly aspired. In plain
English, gentlemen and fellow citizens. the
word has been passed on 10 me from Wash

There are the fat-boats drawn up on the

story, the way those miltian-men sloped in
