Favoritism at the Camden Bridges.

EDIToR ARGUS, SRI notice petitions of
ID. b. Sears, VIM, Young etc, for privilege
to cross the city bridges for one year for a
merely nominal sum. Is there any good rea-
son for granting these petitions? l can see
none. do not know Of any Moline Or Cam
den people who heave hone anything towards
building there bridges. The people of this
city purchased them, rebuilt them and are
liable for all damage which may happen on
them. The city treasury has never received
as much money, by hundreds of dollars, for
the tolls, as it has paid out for interest on the
bonds and building and repairs on the bridges
and road. If any people are entitled to
cross the bridges at nominal rates it is the
people of Rock Island-not those of Moline
and Camden. The people of both these
places, especially Camden, rejoice every time
bridge is carried away, or breaks down,
because it keeps trade from Rock Island, and
helps both those places, as we'll as the Mo-
line bridge. There may be some good rea-
sons for granting special favors to the people
of those two towns, who are trying to inlure
Rock Island, and refusing them to the people
of our own town-but don't know what
they are. Can you tell

a Clever One"

They had down in Florida, not long
since, and perhaps have now, shrewd old
fellow known as "Old Hunter" Everybody
knew him. He was as deaf as post, and
through his deafness and his shrewdness, he
had managed completely to hide his sympa-
thy for either party during the war. 1t was
suspected, however, that he was with the
confederates in heart, and that, though his
house was guarded by the Union troops, he
sold as many supplies to the one as to the
other, for he dealt in ''stores" Every
means had been tried by the Union officers
to procure some admission of preference, but
of no avail. When reduced to corner, he
never lacked an expedient to get himself out.
But one day Union captain put up bet
that he could tap him and get his secret
he accordingly went up to Hunters, and
skirmished around, but not one hint could
he get. He would be deaf to questions that
were unpleasant, and the inquirer was baf-
fled. At last there came two large bull
dogs into his store-ferce fellows, and ex-
actly alike.
''Fine dogs, these yelled the inquisitor
in his ear
"Yes,' was the reply.
loud tone.
'Why," said the old man, Il call one
Beauregard and tother Mcclellan"
You do" shouted the inquirer; (which
one do you like the best?'
"Hey?' queried Hunter, putting down his
ear.
(Which do you like best ?" was repeated.
''Oh, wall, said he, with twinkle in his
| eye, "both of 'em are as ugly as the devil"
The captain paid the bet.
On another occasion a party were drinking
in his store, when one of them, taking ad-
vantage of the old mans deafness, proposed

The toast was drank in great glee, in
which the old man joined.
