FIax RIors.-Bfr. Items see, sir, by the paper
of Friday last, that the Mayor has had confer
ence with the presidents Of the several Fire Com
panes and that the districting system is TO be re-
sorted to as panacea for tioting. Ifit were fact
that the fire companies themselves were the sectors
in these dsgraceful scenes, the disricting system
would answer, if enforced but such Ia not the fact,
or to but very limited extent. The apparatus IL not
under the control Of the responsible members Of the
companies The bells are rung at all hours Of the
night, and the apparatus taken out without MEM
Der being present. Young gentlemen who are only
running members, when they want a frolc, will,
if they can obtain control Of the apparatus, pay
no regard TO your districts, but go where they
please with impunty, for the police do not seem
inclined to interfere with the amusement of our
young imitators of Baltimore and Philadelphia.
The district system established by enactment, I'M
less enforced at all hazards by the Mayor and his
police, will be nullity. am willing, however,
to assist him, and hope every right minded man
will lend him his aid in whatever measure he may
deem calculated to suppress rioting. But permit
me to suggest, that the best step would be to pre-
vent the apparatus from being used for such pur-
poses. If they cannot have the apparatus, you will
have no great trouble with them. Isuggest, there
fore, that police force be gred to repair to each
of the engine houses at shutdown, with instructions
to prevent the bells from being rung unless they
satisfied there ID fire requiring the of the
apparatus, and then only allow the machinery to
be taken out under the direction and request of
responsible officer member of the company, who
should be held accountable for doing, if he per-
init it to pass of his control. course of this
kind, combined with the districting system, would
produce a cure for the disease Keep the apparatus
out of their hands and the police will have riots
to quell. Let them have it, and your police are of
no avail, unless very great change comes

ILLINOIS FINANcEs.-It is stated that at the
present time there is not banking institution in
the State of Illinois; yet she is surrounded by bank
ing States. The consequence is, her currency is
rags instead of the hard chink Her farmers handle
little else in the shape of money than the promises
of the banks of other States. For this privilege
they pay annually not less than six hundred thou
sand dollars. Her neighbors, by means of bank
issues, treble and quadruple the amount invested
making their capital pay them Is to 25 per cent;
and illinois pays them this per centage on every
dollar she handles of their issues Then supposing
the currency of this State to be ten millions, she
pays to other States and their capitalists annually
in the shape of interest, not less than 100000.

We are sure that husband, 30 beautifully and
touchingly appealed TO, will fly home upon the
wings OF love:
To an Absent Husband.
Dearest, como home! l cannot bear
Thy long protracted stay,
So sad and lonely is my heart
When thou art gone away.
I've tried, alas how yainly tried,
Thine absence to forget,
Yet still can but think of thee
With fondness and regret.
As mourns the gentle, cooling dove,
Ia accents desolate,
When forced by some unkindly hand
Far from her loving mate
So through the chambers Of my heart
Echoes mournful tone,
Whilst every pulse affection beats,
Re- echoes, "Pm alone"
Things that are bright when thou art here
Look dark and gloomy now,
And nature seems to share my grief
With clouds upon her brow.
The bird sings now a saddcr song
Than eer he sang before,
And flowers have lost the sunny hue
They once SO sweetly wore.
To while the weary hours away,
That lag with leaden feet,
read thy fayorite authors DER,
Their choicest parts repeat
but even books, those voiceless friends,
Have lost all charm for me,
And fail to cheer my heart unless
read them, love, with thee.
And music, with her voice 80 sweet,
Pve called her to my aid,
AS soft and low, with trembling hand
Thy favorite air Pve played.
But ali those tender notes have stirred
Affections fountain deep,
And sadly have left my song
To think of thee and weep.
Thus gloomy thoughts their dismal shade
Der brightest objects fling.
How true 1t ID saddened heart
Can sadden every thing!
Then, dearest, come-thy wife's fond heart
Still warmly beats for you
heart whose every throbbing pulse
Is faithful kind, and true. Nj.
