The CHAIR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. since,
Capt. Phillips, of the c., r. l. i P. railroad,
delivered to us magnificent oak chair, of
huge dimensions, and evidently made on the
principle of the ''One Horse Shay"-to last a
hundred years, and when it does 60 to peices
60 all at once, leaving only little pile of
dust. Attached to it was the card of S. A.
Buckmaster & Co. Joliet, from which we con-
clude that ID was manufactured at the Joliet
penitentisry, under the special care and at
tention of Col. Buck master, who runs that in
stituson. In fact we have heard that the
chair stood, for sometime. in that genteman's
parlor, whore it was much admired, and that
those who examined it learned that it was
intended as present to the editor of the
Rock Island ARGUS It reflects much credit
upon the workmen who built it, and also up
OF the architect, who, we hear, was Mr.. Geo.
R.McGreggor, accomplished in his profession,
and clever gentleman.
Col. Buckmaster will please accept our
profound thanks. May his years be long in
the land may he be healthy, wealthy and
wise, and may he like Old King Cole, be in the
future as in the past, Jolly old SOUL" We
vote tor Col. Buekmaster for the next Presi-
dent.
Thinks also to the other gentlemen, whose
skill enabled them to produce precisely gu CHI
a chair as we wanted.
Thanks to Capt. Phillips, too,-and every
body else who had a hand in bringing it to
u.s.
Gentlemen, we'll publish all your marai-
age notices free of charge; and if you want
your obituaries got up in good taste, "come
and see us, I'm our new chair.

MATT. CARPENTERS GRAFTON AT
GREEN BAY.-The 4drocate has the
following in regard to Matt. II. Car
p%enter's Grafton at Green Bay on the
4th Of July:
The Grafton by Matt. II. Carpen-
ter, Esq, OF Milwaukee, was the
grand feature of the day. The peo-
pie assembled with Interpretation Of
hearing something far above the av-
erage OF orations on similar occasions,
and they did not 60 away disappoin-
ted. In briefhe would state the plan
of the GRAFTON as follows: In the
dispensations of Providence, Nations
are brought into existence for the
accomplishment Of q specific purpose;
Is fulflment gives the nation pros
perity and greatness. or if it fails to
perform the Divine VIII, it is swept
out ofexistencc. The great principle
to be established by the American
people, and which is enunciated in
the opening Of the Declaration OF IN
depend cnce is Mans right rs Man,
irrespective of his wealth, birth, con
dition or color. The war Of the rev
olution was fought to establish the
principle, and was successful as far
as was possible at that time, and the
late war to put down the great re-
bellion has put a finishing stroke to
the work, prorided, THAT we make 4
proper use Of the advantage gained
thereby. If we fail in this, we must
expect the fate ofthose NATIONS which
have turned aside from tloir evident
destiny. A large audience listened
to the speaker with rapt attention
for more than an hour, and hearty
cheers Of approval We're given.

Ltaly's Defeat and Prussla.2 victory

Italy has gone into war with The
same experience that we had In 1861.
She has had her Bull Run. She has
met her old enemy in front OF zero
na-iu sight Of the tomb Of Romeo
aud Juliet and been routed and
driven back to her own side Of the
Mincio. Her raw levies are no
match for the bronzcl veterans Of
Austria. Garibaldi, meanwhile, has
climbed the mountains and cot on
the Austrian flank and rear, but this
daring movement can hardly succeed,
now that Victor Emanuel, with his
main army, has been but to flight.
The news Of the battle ofCustozza
is = serious disappointment to tho
I.oopto Of this country, who hoped
that Italy would achies her victory
without severe losses or delay. But
it seems to be ordered Of Providence
that the tree Of liberty shall lie
watered with blood, and its fruits
tasted only after the agonics Of des-
pcrate conflict. Italy has been
thrown to the earth, but only to gain
new strength from the collision. A
Florence dispatch says the lc-
pulse of Cu9tozza is the signal lCr
TedoubIed energy and perseverance,.
Italy will return to the contest with
renewed arior, and will never lay
down her arms Till the liberation OF
Nonetia is secured.

Coming out Right.

At a recent large and enthusiastic
meeting Of Chicago Fenians the fol
lowing resolutions were unanimously
adopted.
Resoired, That we, the members Of
the Fenian brotherhood Of Chicago,
declare ourselves the friends Of hui
man liberty, and that we will give
our supp ort 10 thai princiIle offrcc-
dom for all men.
ReSolred, That We call upon Irish
mel throughout the country to Join
Us in ticking this determined standin
favor of the rights OF humanity.
The Fenians are finding out that if
they would have the sympathy ofthe
dominant and loyal party in the
United States they must be consis-
tent lovers Of Freedom, Liberty to
the black, native born American is
IS dear as to the Irishman, and he
who would refugcliberty to any loyal
man, does not deserved it himself.

Medicine and Medical Reform.

An efTogt is now being made, Of

four hospitals for the allopathic prac-
tltioners who are in ~harAnouy with
the three medical members Of the
Board. Commissioners Acton,
Schultze, Manicrre and Bosworth,
are claimed as homeopathic believers,
and IN favor Of such a trial being.

fact that GOV. Fenton, who appoint

AN ANgcnQrE or DANIEL WEbsrE

Az ANgcnoTE OF DANIEL WEBSTER.
The following anecdote is good
enough for Q second reading, if any
one has CHANGED to moot with
it bcfore:'
"When Daniel Webster was dcliv-
ering his memorial speech at Tic
dedication OF Bunker Hill Monument,
the crowd pressed forward to such
an extent that some were iaintidg
and some crUshed. Officers strovc
in vain to make the crowd stand
lack. They said it could not be
done. Some II asked Mr.. Webster
TO make an appeal to thcta. The
great orator came forward, stretched
forth his hand, and said,in deep stem
torlal tones: Gentlemen, stand back.
1t cannot be done they shouted.
Gentlemen, stand back. said he with.
ont change of voice. II is impossi-
bic, Mr.. Webster, impossible. Impos-
siblc?' repeated Mr.. Webster, .impos.
sible? Nothing i. impossible on Bur.
ter It'll And the vast crowd
swayed and rolled back like 4 mighty
wave Of the ocean.

Mr.. Webster said in '48 that, if the

Free soil, it would be the Whig party
still-only with Martin Van Buren,
at the head of it. That which Rand

WAsHINGTON A LIEUTENANT GEN
ERAL.-It has been usually thought
that Generals Scott and Grant are the
only ones who ever held the rank of
lieutenant General in the United
States army. The Detroit 1ribune,
however, in Chief Justice Marshalrs
Life Of Washington, learns that the
Father Of his Country was made q
Lieutenant General in the American
army during President Adams's ad-
ministration, when war with Franco
was deemed imminent. He was nom
mated in the Senate July 3D., 1899,
as Commander in Chief Of the Amer
lean armies, with the rank of Lieu
tenant General, which rank he main
tanned to the time Of his death.
