SonErHiHo WAHrlAe -Probably there
10 nothing which adds more to the beauty
Of Z town than the presence vi s,eeples.-
A birds.sye view which presents nothing
Of this character 10 apt to be characterized
- bare and desolste, and there are few cit.
lee having any claim to antiquity which are
entirely without such truly picturesque sp.
peudsges. Ia exsming the view Of Daven-
por, a. painted BY Mr.. Wolfe. and for
which he has received so much praise, it
will be observed that the spires Of the
Presbyterian. Second Baptist, and ST. Mar
gu-etes churches are prominent and in
spie the mind most properly. But, between
the two last named, there 10 a vacancy
which seems to wan, filing. By examin-
ing the point accurately, the body of Trim
ity appears, tower.less and spre-less, look
ing ~ though only waiting for the word
from some resi- onsible source to Gil out its
handsome proportions, and become crown
Ing ornament to our growing city. II those

The reign Of plumber has commenced.
The sdsge of "like master, like man" 10
being verified, and The people, in al such
cases, are the sufferers. The corruption
Of the last Indisna House of Represents.
tives was without a parallel known in the
history of,he State. Contrary to all pre-.
vious ussge-, the Old Line House at an
emily day OF the session adopted . resol.
uuun authorizing the employment Of clerk
by each OF the sixteen standing csmmlttees
some of whom received four dollars each
day, for literally doing nothing except to
infsst the Hobbies with their presence. We
are told of one clerk BY the name Of Sill,
whose committee did not hold meeting
dur ing the entire session, and there were
others, doubtless, in the came category.
One fellow by the name Of Nc Cullum 10
arid to have purchased bed and
and bedding at the expense OF the State,
which he occupied in the committee Rooms,
and At the sdjosrnment sold i, and put the
proceeds in his pocket.
Amor z these Old Line rascalties We are
told OF the following items:
Thirty dol.rs paid for spit boxes.
Thirty dollars and ten cents for Cologne
water and hair brushes.
Three hundred dollars paid for looking
glass probably to "see themselves - 9th.
ers zee them"
Postage stamps, three thousand dollars.
Clerk hire, twelve thousand dollars.
Pen knives, ink stands, fancy sand box

One hundred and thirty volumes Of Por-

One doorkeeper bought 4 coat and paid
twenty .eight dollars in. postage stamps.
Others bought books and psidin pos
tsge s.amps.
The apple boys had their pockets full
of stamps received for apples, Parched
corn and candy.
Such are the statements which come to
our ears, and which shows conclusively as
we said 10 the beginning that the reiga OF
corruption has commenced. When the

release from the bridge. Her hull is very
slightly if asJ injured. Saturday she was
putting out her freight on the Rock Island
side, preparatory to going to the bot yard.
Saturday we expressed our establishment
tina, the commander of this boat should At.
tempt to pass the bridge or navigate the
Rapids during such a gale. Before the
Rescue reached the bridge che was in >
perilous condition, one guard being under
water through the effects Of the wind, while
she was go deeply la,en that the other al.
most touched the water. The Democrat
says the a,,enp. WAS perfect madness. The
Rock Islander says:

could no, have succeeded in getting up the
