Bas- We learn that the. Quakers have some
missivinss about taking the amnesty oath, be-
it requires that they shall not only "faith-
fully support and protect the constitution of the
Upited States but that they shall defend it."
We think we can assure them that the words
''protect and defend" does net mean to defend
with arms The national and State govern
ments have sanctioned the substitution of mo-
ney or some other service from members of the
Society Of Friends, instead of cxactipg military
service. We may well assure them that the
government will never be so strict and compul-
sorry with law abiding citizens We hope thew
will feel assured of this, and will take the oath
and vote for the men of their choice All good
citizens should give this much sanction and sup
port to the government that protects them

A WATCH AND IT'S HIsTORY.--A very in
eresting case in the annals of the Police Court
to light last week. In the year 1854 a young Irish.
man Of good parentage emigrated to Chicago and
became clerk in a certain railroad Office In the city.
He had previously been bank clerk in London and
before leaving was presented with a valuable gold
watch worth about $3.50. He remained here some
nine years and maintained an excellent reputation
for integrity and attention to his duties But In the
early part Of 1883 taking trip with some friends
among the purlieus of the city, he happened 10
saloon Of doubtful reputation and supposed to have
been drugged. In this condition be was robbed Of
all his vauables, the watch included. Being OF an
ingenious and tender disposition this loss 50 preyed
upon him that he took to drinking and soon became
unfit for business Throwing up his situation he re-
turned to his home, and has not since been heard
from. On last Saturday morning, while Sergeant
Mergentnaler travelling hisbeat State street,
he noticed drunken man lying on the sidewalk.
Before he reached the spot be another slyly
step up the drunkard and examine his pockets for
valuables. the officer arrested both parties, sent
tie drunkard to the lrmoFy in a butchers wagon
and wicked thither with the other prisoner On this
prisoner person found the watch which had
caused so much trouble. 1t was exhibited In the
Police Court THURSDAY morning, and is moot costly
and splendid work Of art. The thief 10 held ON q

Mothers. Put Your Children to
Bed.

There may be some mothers who feel it q
self-denial to leave their parlors or iresides
or work to put their little children to bed.
They think that the nurse could do it just
as we'll that it Of no consequence ''to hear
the children say their prayers"
Now, setting aside the pleasure deepening
the little bed and tucking the darlings up,
there are really important reasons why the
mother should not yield that privilege to
any one. In the first place, it is the time of
all times, when the child is inclined to show
its confidence and affection. All its little Sc
crets come out with more truth and less re-
straint; its naughtiness through the day
can be reproved and talked over with less
excitement and with the tenderness and
calmness necessary to make a perman ent
impression.
If the little one has shown desire TO do
well and be obedient, its effort and success
can be acknowledged in manner that need
not render it vain or self-satisfed. We must
make it habit to talk to our children,
in order to get from them an expression Of
their feelings. We cannot understand the
character of these little ones committed to
our care unless we do. And if we do not
know what they are, we shall not be able to
govern them wisely, and educate them as
their different natures demands.
Certainly it would be unwise to excite
young children by too much conversation with
them just before putting them to bed. Eve
ry mother who carefully studies the temper
ament of her children, will know how to
manage them in this respect
But of this all mothers may be assured,
that the last words at night are Of the great
est Importance to even the babies of the
flock the very tones of the voice they last
listened to, make an impression on their
sensitive organs.
Mother, do not think the time or strength
wasted which you spend in reviewing the
day with your little boy or girl do not neg
lect to teach it how to pray; and to pray for
it in simple, earnest language that it can un-
derstand. Sooth and quiet its little heart
after the experience Of the day. 1t has had
its disappointments and trials, as well as its
play and pleasures: it is ready to throw its
little arms around your neck and take its
goodnight kiss.--Aothvs' Aagasns.

County and Town Railway Bonds.

The United States circuit court of Chi
cago has, by recent decisions, sustained
the State courts of Iowa in perpe. ually
enjoining counties and cities from levying
or collecting a tax for the payment of
bonds issued for railway purposes, Sthat
have been declared illegal by the State
supreme court. The city of Keokuk
alone, has almost as heavy debt out
standing, as the state of Iowa, and being
Immediately infested in the pending
suits for long time past, should feel
great financial relief Western towns and
counties, however, should offer some CON-
promise in liquidation of their heavy debt
issues made in times of speculation and
initiation, and so long held as unavailable
property by innocent purchasers. The
city of Keokuk, committed itself to com
promise settlement of its debt previous to
the above decision being rendered.

Professor Thomas S. c. loves balloon, the
United States, yesterday at two o'clock in the
afternoon, caused great crowd TO assemble
in the large enclosure from whence the bri-
dial party were to take their departure from
this terrestrial sphere. About three thous-
and persons, more than half of whom were
women, were congregated around the balloon
at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Fifty
ninth street, while probably as many more
occupied positions on the roofs of buildings
and lofty rocks which overlooked the enolo-

was happy success, and IS thus described
by one of the voyagers, who is evidently Of
a poetic turn:
1t was not near as cold as we thought it
would be. Immediately after clearing the
walls of the enclosure, the balloon seemed to
become perfectly motionless, and the world
sank from beneath our feet like a peopled
dream. The city was spread below us like
map with its hundred spires and myriad
easements cleaning in the last flash of SUM-
set, which flooded the west with pallid gold
with here and there an island Of white cloud.
For moment we seemed to be perfectly
motionless, and then by watching the Gen.
trail Park directly beneath us, we saw that
we were moving rapidly toward the North.
Our nervousness was quickly gone, and
we were soon chatting merrily.@ Lesser and
DINNER grew the world, as we scared and
swept along over Harlem and East river,
with its hundred isles, with the wide, gilt
tering waters of the Sound beyond, like a
dazzling shield, and hamlets, hills and woods
the latter flushed with autumnal purple
and gold. fleeing far beneath US like the
yistas of an enchanted realm.
1t all seemed strange and fairy-like. 1t
brought TO mind the "Day-Dream" Of Ten
nyson. By slight stretch Of the fancy,
the bride became the sleeping beauty, new
ly awakened by her true-love's kiss; by an
other stretch-quite stretch, it is true
Professor Boynton became the fairy prince,
/ '.lighter footed than the fox, who bore her
/ to his fathers halls. 1t was the sweet Day
Dream of youth and love.
| And on her lovers arm she leant
And round her waist she felt ii fold,
And far across the hills they went,
In that new world which is the old
Across the hills and far away,
Beyond their utmost purple rim,
And deep into the dy ing day.
The happy princess followed him."
