coming in genuine philosophy, is to be
found in the epic and historic narrative
of this great poet. What were the first
de6uite objects in writing such poem,
are not thoroughly known. Some assert
that the conjugal affairs Of his life, led
him to depict the character of woman, in
her imbecilty, will, and temperament; !;
his life being very wretched, on account
of his wives Others maintain, that the
idea was first introduced to him. on the ap-
pearance of drama during his stay at
Paris; but certain it is, that Milton pro
pounded resolution in early life, of
composing a work which should make his
name immortal, and the work was e Para

He died in Bunhill, near London, in
the year 1914, at the age of SO, and was

Confidence Operations.

One or two of the confidence gentry have
recently, we understand, honored this
place with visit, and succeeded in victim
izing couple of our citizens for small
amounts. The first one went into groce-
nv store and handed couple Of engravings,
rolled up, to one of the proprietors, re-
marking, as he did so, that Col. Thomas
Sumner requested him to leave them there,
and thereupon produced an order upon the
firm, signed by Col. T., for three dollars,
which the grocer paid, but, unfortunately
for him, it turned out to be forgery.
Shortly after the above occurrence an in
dividusl of respectable appearance called
upon one of our attorneys and represented
himself to be the general agent of GER
tain fire insurance company which the at
torney was local agent for, and requested
permission to examine the books. After
doing so, and discovering that there was a
balance of some forty dollars due the COM
pany, he remarked incidentally that he
was not around for the purpose of making
collections, but he Unexpectedly found he
needed ten dollars more than he had, and
that if he, the local agent, would let him
have that amoun, he would make it oil
right at the home office. The Plymouth
agent was only too happy TO accommodate
him, and even intimated that the whole
amount due the company was at his SER
vice If be desired II, but Mr.. General Agent
did not need but ten dollars and preferred
not to take any more, which amount was
handed him, and he soon after bowed him
self out. In process of time our Plymouth
friend discovered that he had been made
the victim of confidence operator. Let
him be thankful, however, that he escaped
with such small loss. Very few conf
dence men are so moderate in their de-
mands upon their victims.

Weston.


A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Journal gives the following account of
WestoL's advent into Chicago:
Weston, the pedestrian, arrived In Chi
cago at ten o'clock on Thursday, morning,
from the Hyde Park House, preceded by
a regular cavalcade and followed by thou
sands all anxious to obtain a sight of the
walkist. His wife accompanied him.
After he arrived al the Sherman House
he was called out ON the balcony and, with
his fiaxen haired daughter of three sum-
mers, appeared. He simply said that he
would now be able to buy pony for his
baby. There the enthusiasm subsidized.
Weston made his bow in the opera house
In the afternoon, but only four hundred
people greeted him. He was introduced
by Mr.. Sheahan, of the Tribune, and ram
bled little about his feat, and promised
that he would maintain the walking cham
pionship OF the world for America.
In the evening he again appeared and
talked, but to a small audience. He says
the manager agreed to give Weston one
thousand dollars for the day.
The affair was so much OF a failure that
benefit for last night was postponed.
Westcn's share Of the bet is about two
thousand dollars, and his expenses on the
journey were more than half as much
more. He has, however made money by
the sale of about twelve thousand photo
graphs on the road.

New Township.

A petition was presented to the Board oil
County Commissioners, at its September
term, for new township, to be formed out
Of portions of Centre and Bourbon--three
miles from the east side of the first, and
one and half miles from the west side of
the last named township-but was coHtin-
ucd until the present term for final hearing.
The matter viii come up this afternoon be-
fore the Commissioners, and, as both parties
have employed attorneys to present their
views, il is is expected that the contest will
be animated and interesting. A number
residing within the bounds of the propo sed
new township are very much opposed to
the new arrangement, and are doing all
they can to defeat it. We do not consider
IL our duty to take sides for or against the
measure. 1t will evidently be Of great con-
venience to those residing in the immedi
ate vicinity of Inwood, but equally incon-
venient to those living on tho west side,
and perhaps to many residing on the ex-
IRENE north and south sides, of the new
township.

Concealed weapons Again.

Our remarks last week on the subject of
carrying concealed weapons, called forth
by an attempt of a man who claims res
probability to shoot fellow mortal, for no
other reason than that he was asked TO pay
for the dinner he had just swallowed, seem
to haye met with the appreciation of our
readers. We have been urged to reiterate
them, especially as the country is on the
eve of an excited political campaign, in
which il is to be expected that mems pas
sions will be greatly infamed.
The matter is of more serious import
than might at first be supposed. Wethink
we are safe in saying that every second
man in Marshall County is possessed Of a
deadly weapon, which, in times OF excite
ment, he rubs up and carries in his pocket
for personal defence. We presume that
what is true of this section is equally ap-
plicable to the entire country. 1t is only
the part of frankness to say that this state
of affairs is due to tho turbulent character
of our politics. But the time has come for
peace to resume her sway, and with the
cessation of hostilities in the field neigh
borhood feuds and personal animosities
growing out Of the disturbed state OF the
country should have been buried. There
is no earthly reason for any pcaceably dis
posed man to make a walking arsenal Of
himself in these piping times ofpeace. The
courts are open and ready to redress the
grievances ofevery citizen. We can voucb
for our friends that they do not medi-
tate revolution, and we observe no desire
among our opponents to inaugurate the
throat cutting business Therefore, we
cncluds with the sentiment Let broik-

"WHnLE TIE LAMP Hobs Der TO BURS'
There is chance for restoration of
health. If therefore, the constitution has
been weakened by disease or excess-the
nerves shattered-the stomach weakened
the appetite gone, and all the world ap-
pears gloomy-pour some fresh oil into
your lamp, in the shape of Plantation Bit
tiers, which will make the flame of life
again burn brightly, and illuminate once
wrecked existence. For ladies it is an
elegant and gentle stimulant, exactly such
as they require. Many families win not
DO without it. 1t has an immense sale

A drunken vagabond succeeded in
frightening number of females in town
one day last week. We first hear of him
at private house on Michigan street, which
he unceremoniously entered just after the
dinner hour. Here he nearly frightened a
young mother to death by Selling her babe
and roughly demanding something to eat.
After struggle with her visitor, the infant
was rescued, and, calling in help, the fell
low was exposed to the atmosphere of the
buck alley, where humane citizen found
him, supplied with drink and wallowing
in the filth, and built pen around him to
prevent the hogs tearing his worthless car
cass- The same individual, it is supposed,
called on several other ladies, his object
seeming to be to obtain food and shelter
At one place he obtained a square meal !;
from another house, being informed that
the man of the house was at home, he in
contineptly sloped; he also attempted to
force an entrance at another place, terrify-
ing lone female by wrenching the handle
from the door. He did not get his jast de-
serts until he made yet another visit-walk
ing into aprivate residence, unannounced,
just as the family were going to bed. His
host followed his example and waived all
ceremony By knocking him down with a
chair.
Will anybody tell us, after reading the
above, what is the use of our Corporation
Government? There used to be legend
that mans house was his clstlc, and that
he had a right to demand of the local
authorities protection for himself and fam
lily, not only against violence but all I'M
necessary alarms. We have in Plymouth
Board of Trustees, Marshal, etc, and
they manage to spend a great deal ofmoncy,
but what earthly good they do to anybody
we are unable to perceive. Drunken and
crazy men have here their paradise, and,
II they choose, can practice on the fears OF
females or assault them on the street, with
only benevolent admonition from the
Marshal to go and sin no more.
