Gafena in 1879.

Capt. GEAR has kindly loaned us a
''scrap book containing great deal o.
valuable information concerning the early
times in the lead region, from which we
shall occasionally make extracts. Among
other articles it contains extracts from a
work on the Lead Mines of the Upper
Mississippi, published hy r. W. Chandler,
of Galena, in 1920. A map Of the lead
region was given in the work, which EN-
braced the country between the Wisconsin
river on the north, and the Rock river on
the South. All north of the Illinois line
within these limits, constituted crawford
County, embracing the present counties of
Grant, Lafayette, Iowa, Greene,and parts
of Dane and Rock. All south was 10 Da-
viess county, comprising the present coull-
ties Of 10 Daviess, Stephenson, Caro- Land
parts of Winnebago, Ogle, Whiteside and
Rock Island. At that time, Detroit was
the "far west" Chicago was unknown,
and the inhabitants had TO depend upon
weekly mail from ST. Louis. Galena is
described as follows:
"Galena is the seat Of Justice of 10 Da-
viess county, and principal depot Of the
mines. Contains about 250 houses, and
500 inhabitants. The mail arrives we, ky
in stages from St.Louis, and private hacks
run from Galena to every part Of the min
ing district. In 1923 there we're so arri-
walls of steamboats, and "a keels at the port
of Gaena."
The name of our river is thus accounted
for:
"Mocaubie is the Iadian name for the
river on which Galena is situated ,and when
translated into English, means small poe,
or more literally fever that blisters; and
was so named from the circumstance Of
several hundreds of the natives dying there
with that disease; and there being no
characteristic to justify naming it Fe0er
River, or Bean Riuer, as translated from
the French, no reason if known why the
original name should not have the prefer
ence - Gaena Courier.

BADLY MIxED.-A very singul ar occur

BADLY MlxEp.-A very singular occur
renee involving the identity OF two newly
born specimens of Young America" is
related by the Easton Pa.) Express, as
having transpired recently i'll Lower Mt.
Bethel township, in that county. A lady
who was about to present her liege lord
with a "plcdga of affection" engaged the
services of worthy dame in the neighbor-
hood to assist her through the period OF
confinement. The nurse was called and
very promptly made her appearance, wher
lit was discovered that she was herself
quite as much in need of the services of a
nurse as the Lady of the house. The Sc
quel is soon told: two fine boys were born,
and in the hurry and confusion consequent
upon this unexpected turn in events, they
got SO mixed up that it was impossible to
determine with any certainty as to the ma
ternity of the children. AS might be
supposed,a great deal Of discussion ensued
and the mothers of the babes were greally
distressed, but the best that could be done
under the circumstances was for the party
present to assign the children to the moth
ers and await the developments OF the fu
ture. If the growth of the children should
discover any strong family resemblance the
ladies can swop back and make the mat
ter all right; but without such develop
ments they must even remain in doubt IL
to the genuineness OF their "precious dar
ling" 1t is very distressing coso, and
the folks ought to have known better thar
to have got a pair of babies mixed up
but on such occasions things are liable te
occur

| POLITICAL Ten DENCIEs.-Tbere never
was period when the Democratic party
was in more danger of destruction than at
the present. time, and its danger arises from
he very question which destroyed the
Wing and American parties. The South
has b.en encouraged to believe, by the
course of the Democracy North, that it
can make the General Government. in fact
aind in truth, the instrument through hich
say cry is TO lie extended and perpetuated.
| Northern Democrats have sustained, as far
as they dared, all the aggressive move
lments of the Southern extremists, but
they nominated Mr.. Buchanan as mod
deyate man, and they most heartily dislike
to see him driven into the policy which
II ruined Pierce. On either side there now
opens a chasm. If they refuse to acceed
the demands of the South, there will be a
ter; and if they yield to its dictation they
will lose even the few States they retained
at the North In the meantime The prin-
eiples of the Republican party are becom-
ing better understood, and the necessity of
The organization more fully defined. Men
of conservative tendencies no longer fear
it, for virtually it has had the control of the
whole North for two years. 1t has shown
its ability for governing great States, for
developing their wealth and resources, and
for demonstrating that its policy will never
tend to ,lisorganizstion, or to the weaken
ing of the bonds of the Union. Thus
while the Democratic party is being weak
ened and destroyed, because it is founded
on error and wrong, the Republican party
is gaining strength through the righteous
ness of its principles. Let us look forward
with confidence to The period when the SUI
premacy of this party will give new vigor
to The institutions of the land Newark
