Burial Place Of Douglas.

We are pleased to see that bill has been
Introduced into the Illinois Legislature max
ing an appropriation of $25, 900 for adorn-
ing and embelishing the tomb of Stephen
A. Douglas. Mr.. Stephenson, of Cook
County, who introduced the bill, stated that
some gentlemen objected to enlarging the
lot in which this great statesman was now
buried, and vacating the park which he had
dedicated to the public. He therefore
would, to do away with all objections, intro
now owned by Mrs. Douglas in fee, and
which was worth that amount if the body
of Douglas were removed. We trust the
bill will pass and that the last resting place of
Illinois favorite son will be worthily orna-
mented and adorned. 1t will ever be a
spot where true Americans will love to pause
and drop tear over the remembrance OF
departed orth.-Ran Dealer

to see boy ten years of age, with his trow,
sers patched all over and his face dirty,
chewing tobacco and smoking long mines.
1t looks like manhood early developing.
The frequency of such sights, and the fluen'
