overlooking the fact that the temper

by him IN order to secure the votes Of
the entire Democratic parry. He re-
CARDS the precedent as a good one to
follow and urges similar action on
the part of temperance men else

idea is brilliant one, and seems to
have been incorporated into his reso-
luton. ~

SERIOUS ACcIDENT.-Mr. James High,

iThs Union thinks this BLACKBOARD intiner.
ant snakes right good point when he
saws that "men who lecture for the good of
the public and endeavor to circulate valuable
information among the people, are charged
the same as circus company or negro
minstrel troup." This might, possibly, be
"a right good point if it was true-but
being false we cannot see the point. Meth
er can we or anybody else see ''the man who
lectures for the good of the public,- lee
tures for the good Of his pocket, and for no
other reason, and the people who pay him
money, in our humble opinion, will get no
valuable information" but will wish they
had kept their money in their pockets and
kept away from this quack.
The Union asks the following question:
Wouldn't it be well to call call meeting of
the "corkus" to dispose of this "tinerant lectur-
err and make him quit saying disagreeable
things?
We answer, No! We can readily see
how radical may ask such question, be-
cause one of the principles of the radical
party is that freedom of speech and of the
press may be suppressed. We are opposed
to that doctrine. Let every man free his
mind-and then let the people judge.
But we cannot perceive the propriety of
encouraging or applauding man who ira
duces and blackguards our own city. The
Uaion, and some of the people who 60 to
Babcock's Hall, may think it all right-but
we do not; neither do the great majority of
our citizens.
Rightthinking people never applaud or
encourage abuse of themselves. When any
man encourages another to SANDER and viii
ify the officers of his own city, either by
silence or by marks of approval, for enforc-
ing the laws they have sworn to execute, he
encourages SANDER and abuse of himself,
because he is a part of the city and ANYTHING
affecting the honor of his city affects his
own honor. Self respect should teach every
man to rebuke those who SANDER his own
city, or the officers of his city, who observe
their oath Of Office and properly enforce the
laws.

THE Most BEAUTIFUL HAND.-Two
charming women were discussing one day
what it is which constitutes beauty in the
hand. They differed in opinion as much as
the shape of the beautiful member whose
merits they where discussing. A gentleman
friend presented himself and by common
consent the question was referred to him.
1t was delicate matter. He thought OF
Paris and the three goddesses. CHANGING
from one to the other of the beautiful white
hands presented for his examination, he re-
piled, at last Il give it up; the question is
too hard for me but ask the poor, and they
will tell you the most beautiful hand in the
world is the hand that gives"

BASE BALL.-The Davenport Democrat,
in publishing notice for the Scott Club to
meet and elect officers, adds the following:
"The above named club has, we believe, gained
some little notoriety for playing. If we recolect
right, they got their reputation up, and some
thing else down in Rock Island, last season. We
presume, though, the Rock Islanders viii be i'm
prudent enough to try the Scott boys again this
season. If they do, we predict the same result"
Exactly SO. Ne predict the same result.
The Wapello Club, of this city, has beaten
your club every game ever played with it
The Wapellos were never beaten but once,
by any club, and that was by club our
boys had beaten 80 badly they wished to en-
courage by allowing them to win one game.
Yes, your club became known-''got its
reputation up'-by having the honor to be
accepted in game by the Wapellos-bu.
our boys never allowed the Hawkeyes to
beat them and we presume they "will be
imprudent enough to try the Scott boys
again any time they wish-and probably
with the same result as before.

The Union has a very low opinion of a
portion of the people of this city who have
sometimes acted with the republican party,
and denounces them as devoid of principle,
and not capable of approaching 'those en-
during principles" ON which the "God and
humanity party is based. The new editor
lectures these people as follows:
We have heard somewhat of "Puritanic" re.
pubhcans, with whom no personal or local con-
aiderations have any weight against theirduty

their party, - Is
We also have "Gailio" republicans, men whc

A GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach. and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three boxes
of his matchless saye.
DIR. MaggiePs 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 Maggiers Pills recti6es
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiels Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scads, Chilblains, Cuts and all abrassions
of the skim Maggiels Salve is infallble.
