time their reputation has extended, until they have

civilized nations who have not personal evidence of

who have season tickets are requested to re-

A report will soon be published of the f.

may properly fit up and furnish their new

command the admiration, the respect and
the confidence of the public generally.

SENsE.-In behalf ofevery body concerned
and who is motive copy the following
truthful talk of an exchange about localizing
in general:
We are not disposed to be captious nor
unmindful of the interests of the community
We always willingly do our share to patrons
whenever we can, but we want it distinctly
understood that printers ink is not free
commodity. An editors time and brains, If
he has any, are not gFstuitous articles for
general using. ''The laborer is worthy OF
his hire and if some people who are SC
magnificent in their multiplicity of com
plants, would be a little more munifcent in
their magnanimity towards local notices
editors would be more generous, newspapers
more prosperous and the community better
posted "a word to the wise" &c.-every
business man ought to know the concluding
words OF that important maxim.

A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after sojourn
of few months in the city, was hardly recog-
nized by her friends. In place of coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead OF
twenty-th she really appeared but eighteen
Upon inquiry as TO the cause of great a change,
she plainly told them that she used the CAs-
CAsSiAN BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any lady's toilet. By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance hundred fold. 1t is simple in Its
combination, nature herself is simple, yet IN
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities
kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface
nature intended 1t should be- clear, soft smooth

This valuable combination has been success

Children having Worms require immediate at

A GRAND EPOCH MEDICINE

DR.. Maggel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarisns whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the uloerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deiuged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matehless saive.
DIR. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats- One of Maggiefs Pills reetifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
ccanses the head aud restores the nerves in a
space Of time short enough to be almost elassed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiels Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns Sealds, Chilblains, Cuts, and all abrassions
of the skin, Maggiel's Salve is infallible.-

The HORSE RAILRoAD.-The Union of
this morning has an editorial claiming that
the city council have nothing else to do but
grant everything asked by the horse railroad
company, and winds up as follows
"Will the democratic members of the city coun-
ell listen to the public interests in this matter, or
shall they again be defeated through personal
feelings and party prejudices2 The people await
the answer" .-.--
This is most precious piece of Pecksnif
fan impudence. "Will the democratic
members listen to the public interests -
Ergo-the republican members are the only
ones who do .listen to the public interests y
This is the first allusion we have seen to pol
itics, connected with the horse railroad but
since the Union has seen fit to lug politics
into the matter, permit us to enquire how it
happens that ere'y one Of the iacorporators
are leading managing radical politicians
and one or them senator who procured the
passage of the bin? Was that piece of
radical strategy? Were there no democrats
in Rock Island or Moline who had either in
fuence or money? Was it not necessary to
combine all interests in order to make the
project a success?, Or is it intended to
make the horse railroad a radical machine?
"The people await the answer"
We certainly had never thought of politics
connected with the matter until the Union
alluded to the subject. As far as we know
| anything of the feeling of the members of
| the city council, their only desire is to do
| their duty to the people-their constituents,
and not fritter away their rights upon a
monopoly, which, in fifty years, may become
outrageously oppressive.
We had not thought of the matter before ;
| but since the Union has shown its cards, it
does look rather suspicious to see the radical
leaders in the county seeking to grab mon
opoly, which, in few years, may WELD an
enormous political infuence-and also to
see the radical organ backing them in the
attempt to get extraordinary and unusual
privileges from the people, without any COM
| pensation. Since the Union has alluded to
politics we rather think it is the duty of the
| democratic members of the city council to
/ investigate the matter iittle-and we know
1t is their duty to guard well the rights of
the whole people, in every respect they are
the majority and the people win hold them
responsible if they barter away their rights,
| without sufficient guards and protection for
their recovery, whenever they shall DESIRE
These are the best guarantees that the horse
railroad will be properly managed.
