mcn,s to take an excursion to West Liberty

cial picnic. They have engaged brass
band and made such other arrangements as
will ensure them general good time, the
the weather being favorable.
IMPROVING TIE RAPIDs-If Burlington
has been pleasedlat oil times when the Rap.
ids improvement has been urged, We are
.lad of H. Our assertions TO the contrary
may be attributed to ignorance, but not to
carelessness as the Hapksye would fain be>
lieve, for such has been our understanding
of their feelings Cor a long time past. Peo-
pie generally feel in accordance with thei !.
own interests. However, We are disposed
to &C. fair" and,if Burlington is really glad,
we are more so.
The FgGRV BoAr.-In the course Of .
week or ten days the ferry boat "Rock
Island will take trip up to lie Claire. there
to 90 on the marine ways for about month.
II has been found necessary to put in new
cylinder chambers and make other rep ,irs
to her machinery, and An examination Of
her hull may develop other points where
repairs may be iudicious. Negotiations nre
pending for the "Northern Illinois," now
at Savanna. we believe, to take the place
of the "kock Island" during the period TIE
latte, is laid up.
The THEATRE A very good audience
assembled on last evening to witness the
sensational play fast Lynne" dram
uatization of Mrs. Henry Woods novel of
that name. The part Of "Lady Isabel
vas rendered in truly artistic manner by
that talented artiste Mrs. Breslau. Our cit
'zens should take some little pride in the
excellent acting Of this iady-but three
ears ago she mad, her first appearance be-
fore the public.on the stage Of the Metropol.
tan in subordinate part, very poorly rem
dered, and now she ranks with the best
leading>heavy" ladies of this country. The
other parts were very well rendered. and
ell showed . thorough acquaintance with
their parts that speaks we'll for their desire
to excel Tonight. "Thc Ticket Of Leave
Nan" with An excellent cast.
RIDiSG.-The editor Of the Rock Island
Union is very fond Of ''riding high horse {"
He not only likes to mount the elevated
steed himself, but he desires the members of
the gentler sex to throw aside their charm>
ing riding habits and side saddles and using
the saddles in vogue among those OF the
masculine persuasion. gracefully "stradde"
the 'bounding steed." In place ofthe riding
habit he advocates the adoption of Turkish
trousers, asserting that the trousers, and
style Of riding, has been insrod ueed in Ens>
land. We know what's the matter with
him. He has seen the Menken or Kate
Fisher on TRAINED stccd' olaying Mazep
pa, and has il on the brain 90 bad that he
desires to change the ladies Of private life
INTO race of female Mazeppas. If our la
dies were 30 foolish Is to adopt the outland-
'sh costume and bsrbsrous style Of sitting
on horse proposed, We should agree with
our fellow Bohemian that ''distance" does
''lend enchsntmsnt to the view" and the
greater the distance, the greater the en-
chantment
