A CENSUS INcIDENT.-Our friend Chris.
Flaugher, the irrepressible and incorrigible
rebel of Blue Tent, started out a short time
ago, with portfolio and writing materials, on
census-taking excursion. He called on a Ger
man family residing in the vicinity of Gopher
Hill, when a colloquy something like the fol.
lowing, took place between the feigned official
and the master of the house,
Flaugher.-l am employed by the Govern
ment to take the census, and wish to ascertain
your name, the number of your family, and
their ages.
German.-My name is S-r. have no
children; one wife; l am dirty, and my wife is
dirty too.
Flaugher.-Sir, your appearance and that of
your wife give the lie to your tongue; for
have not seen a cleaner or more tidy house in
the county.
German.-You mistake my meaning. saws
nothing about cleanliness Of myself or wife, but
give you our ages. am dirty (30) and my wife
is dirty-too (32).
On receiving this explanation, Flaugher
closed his official labors, and invited the Ger
man and his neighbors to accompany him to
the Gopher Hill House and partake of the es-
sence OF John Barleycorn.

Under the lee.

Under the ice the waters run;
Under the ice our spirits lie;
The genial glow of the summer sun
Shall loosen their fetters by and by.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,
River of lfe-river of love;
The winter is growing worn and old,
The frost is leaving the melting mold,
And the sun shines bright above.
Under the ice, under the snow,
Our lives are bound in q crystal ring;
By and by will the south winds blow
And the roses bloom on the banks of spring.
Moan and groan in thy fetters strong,
River oflife-river of love;
The nights grow short, the days grow long,
Weaker and weaker the bonds of wrong,
And the sun shines bright above,
Under the ice our souls lie hid
Under the ice our good deeds grow
Men but credit the wrong we did,
Never the motives that lay below.
Moan and groan in thy prison cold,
River of life-river of love;
The winter oflifc is growing old,
The frost is leaving the melting mold,
And the sun shines warm above.
Under the ice we hide our wrong
Under the ice that has chilled us through
Oh that the friends who have known us SO long
Dare to doubt that VIC are good and true.
Moan and groan in the prison cold,
River of life-river ofloyc,
Winter is growing warm and old,
Roses stir in the melting mold
We shall be known above.

A LOCAL PLKA.-The United States Gov
ernment is about to locate national armo-
~ in the State of Illinois, and, if we remem-
Der rightly. has fixed upon Rock Island as
the suitable place for such an institution
whereupon Vandalia, in the southern part Of
the State, puts in its claim thus in the Demo.
crat:
Some people have no modesty at all, and
no consideration for anybody but themselves
The northern part off the State wants every
thing. Itnow has Long John, two Foreign
Minister'S, Owen Lovejoy, the little Tribune,
Lake Michigan, the Galena lead mines, the
penitentiary, besides being the biggest end
of the State, and yet it wants the National
Armory. This is entirely contrary to the
groceries, provisions, and staple articles OF
the Constitution, to say nothing Of the state
of the weather, and the water works. We
are happy to be able to state, however, that
we have means of knowing that we have
positive information from gentleman of
the highest veracity, that the National Ar
mory will be located at Vandalia. The
reasons which promp this action on the part
of the Government are various and many,
and must be apparent to any one who can
clearly see them. We might mention the
following:
Because it is going to be located here.
Because it ought to be here.
Because Okaw runs on the east side of
town.
Because the Central Railroad runs on the
west side of town.
Because the Okaw runs on one side of
town and the C ltral Ra cad on the 9TH
er.
Because the town is between the Okaw
and the Central Railroad.
Because this used to be the Capital Of the
State.
Because we are out of the reach Of seces-
sionists.
Because we are within few hours COM
munication of Ramsey, Pana and Decatur.
Because we have not got penitentiary,
lunatic asylum, ladies' boarding school, nor
anything of the kind in this part of the
State.
Because it would be good place to bor-
row guns to go chicken shooting.
Because Vandalia is good name, and
looks we'll in print.
Because Vandalia is o moral town, and
their guns wouldn't be allowed to 60 with
their breches down.
Because the Fayette Democrat is published
here.
Because the Through Road" is going to
be built.
Because the National road is planked to
Bluff City.
Because we have built plank walk to
the graveyard
Because Old Grimes is dead.

remaining counties on an average of 10 each.
There are IA persons in the State Prison for
life, and the general average of the remain
der is 5 years. months and 6 days. The
fact that the Committee favor the contract
system in the abstract, but are against the
present plan of contracts, has already been
noted in the Appeal. The Committee claim
that the present prices are too low, and re-
suit in dead loss to the State of ST, ,645 in
consequence Of the low rates of the labor of
the convicts, which is farmed out to two diff
ferent parties. The Committee reports f.
L. Pease has contract for so prisoners, cm-
ployed on clothing, at so cents per day
another party has 100 in the same work at
80 cents. Thomas Ogg Shaw has 100 ON ag-
ricultural implements, &C., at 529 cents !;
Englander, cigar maker, has so at so cents !;
and Quinn & Ross have 100 men at brick.
making, at 40 cents per day all Of which
is small pay, and is not only losing money.to
the State, but bad for tho industrial inter
ests with which it comes into competition
The Committee recommend an additional ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the erection OF
new buildings so that the possibility of an es-
cape shall be prevented. From the crowded
state of the prison, their suggestion appears
reasonable. They also recommend chap
lain and resident physician. to be indepen-
| dent of the warden.
