~. CARD PRIsTING.--We are running of
housands of cards nearly every day on our
d press and il works SO beautifully, that
q foreman declares we must make its
Allies wider known. We would inform

Is bncerned, for we have 50 many compen-
hing advantages t, place against that
xawback, that the high price of fuel is for

MI ANOTHER DAILY.-Our Rock Island
eighbors. PERsHiNG & CosKELL Y, have
pmmenced publishing the Daily Roel
. Wander. The Weekly Rock Islander has
ways indicated great degree of industry,
BID we doubt not that the Daily will be kept
by the same important faculty There
BE now three Dalies in Rock Island, two
y the same politics, which is one too many,
DID in business point OF view, We wish
Dc new candidate for public favor tri-
imphant success.
DEER AND RAEBTs.--We noticed on the
. ereet yesterday a wagon-load of fine look |
kg deer. We did not inquire the price, but
Tenissn steaks rule with us at about the |
Inc rates as choice beef pieces, log l21s |
&ns.
Decidedly the cheapest eating in the way
meat that we have lately heard OF was
% Of rabbits which friend told US he pur.
ased at seven cents apiece. They were
)ne fat fellows, and the only mistake our
lend made about the matter was tina, he
ID not invite our assistance in eating them.
u is rot every one who knows how to cook
rabbit, but we knew that the ones in
question would be served up in the right
banner, and that in helping to eat them we
you'd not have to repeat the grace attribu-
ID TO Dean Swift, who becoming tired with
pasng nothing to eat at his boarding house
put rabbits, asked the blessing as follows:
'cfrabblts young and rabbits old,
ofrabbts hot and rabbits cold,
ofrabsts tender, rabbits tough,
We thank the Lord we've had enough

The SAME kINp.--We learn from our
Exchanges that in every section of the coun-
Ey, Rochester, Boston, Cincinnati, ETC., the
Zee taken this season is the purest ever
3een, the blocks averaging from fourteen
70 eighteen inches thick, and as clear as
crystal. This is the same kind which we
aentioned, day or two ago, as being taken
put here, and we are glad to see that other
parts of the country have an article of equal
beauty and purity.
ANOTHER DEMONSTRATIONS are in cir
EQUATION for building a bridge over the
Waubesipinecon. We hope our citizens
will subscribe literally, as it is an important
enterprise and one whose early consumma-
tIon will add much to the business of our
city. 1t will be the means of bringing to
US the products of a vast scope Of country
which has hitherto sought other markets.
SUNDAY WoRK.-On our first page will
Oe found two or three columns of reading
matter of an interesting character. This
may look little suspicious appearing on a
Monday morning, but hard as we have some
times been driven, we do assure the reader
mat We have yet to do the first Sunday work
IN Cur Office 1t is all sheer nonsense to
assert that daily paper cannot be publish

BOARD OF TRApE.-We have heard
number Of our business men speak spprov-
lng'y of the idea of establishing a Board of
Trade. They have only to go step fur
lher and one will be established. We have
not the least doubt that such an institution
would be of immense benefit to the city
1t would not be for the name of the thing or
lot The purpose Of making show, but there
would be enough of real work for such a
board to do, and Of that practical kind which |
would be immediately productive Of the hes,
results.
There does no, ut present seem to be
much OF hull in business operations, but
'hls IS the season of the year when our
merchants and all others interested have |
the best opportunities for discussing the |
SUBJECT, and we hope that by doing SO they
