A MEAN AcT.-Some days ago Capt. VIM
FL. Pierce authorized us to announce tina
the Ben Campbell would carry persons and
freight to and from our county fair for one
half the usual rates. This is what all steam
boats and railroads do, and what was for the
interest of the owners of the Ben to do. The
Ben is owned by two men in Davenport, and
when they were told of the announcement
by Capt. Pierce, they ''fared up about it
"6ecause," as they said, at would benefit Rock
ls1and!" They said they ''would do it 70,
the Davenport fair, but not for Rock Island
because they did not wish to do anything to
benefit Rock Island" This was little toe
much for spirited man, like Capt. Pierce
to put up with, and he notified them tina,
they could get some other man to run their
boat
We hope Rock Island county men will re.
member this action of the owners of the
Ben, and never, as long as they own her,
give her one cents worth of patronage.
Capt. Pierce is looking for another boat to
run between this city and Clinton and Ly-
ons, and he hopes to get her in time for the
fair, and be able to carry people attending
our fair, for half price.

The Washington Library Company

of Philadelphia gains credit and support ev

creditable to the patriotic hearts who are
laboring to reward too much neglected

be mis-directed. The plan adopted satisfies
the scruples of the most conscientious, and
has the endorsement of eminent legal auth

IMPORTANT HOTEL CHANGE.-THE METRO.
PoLIrAN HorEL.-We learn that by arrange.
ments just completed, Charles W. Baldwin,
ESQ.,, lately associated with William F. Tuck
er l. Co., in the joint management of the
Briggs House and the Hough House at
the Union Stock Yards, has purchased the
the Metropolitan Hotel, recently conducted
by John A. Baldwin and S. R. Johnson. In
the new management the Metropolitan, al
ways well located and favorite house with
the public, viii be put in excellent condition
throughout, and more than ever calculated
to win favor and patronage. John Dunbar,
formerly of the Merchants Hotel, will be
superintendent of the house, and George
Cobb, formerly of the Hough House, and C.
c. Hilton, formerly of the Briggs House,
will be the clerks. With these highly com
petent assistants, and the advantages of sub
stansial and important changes secured in
the premises, the Metropolitan will open q
fresh career of popularity. In response to
the tendency of prices, and following the
hotels throughout the country, the rate of
the Metropolitan will be reduced to tpo dol,
lars and o. half per ddg.

FoUSD.-H will be recollected that,on the
2lst inst, we gave an account of the robbery
of Mr.. Langdell's house, of $50 in money
and a lot of clothing, on the night of the 10Th
Certain parties were suspected and thei,
premises searched by City Marshal Crop
per, but the articles were not found. Mr.. r
s. Albert, sidewalk supervisor, informs US
that, yesterday, the 26th, while in Union
Square, opposite Langdelrs house, examin
ing the trees, he found, covered in the saw
dust around tree, one of the articles of lost
clothing. This caused him to continue the
search, and he finally found all the lost ar
ticles, covered in saw dust, around the trees.
The list included valuable overcoat, large
double shawl, dresses, shirts, and other vala-
able clothing, all of which was wet and
would soon have been ruined, if not found.
The finding of these articles confirms the
suspicious as to the thief.

THE ZUMA SUIc1DE.-A friend in the up
per part of the county writes us, under date
of August rs, as follows: .--
"Smith Knowles, of Yuma township, commit
ted suicide on Saturday morning, the oath, about
o'clock, by cutting Lis throat with q razor in
three different places.
CDR. Fleming, of Port Byron, was Immediately
called and rendered all the assistance possible
but he died in about one hour from the time o.
finding him. Cause unknown.
che was an old resident of Yuma, and pros.
porous and well-to-do farmer"
We also hear a report that it is believed
he committed suicide on account of the loss
of debt against man with whom he had
had considerable dealings and who failed
not long since.

this paper is highly appreciated-but it does
not change their opinion upon the subject of
ringing fire bells for lost children. And he
insist that ifthat outrage upon the $4,000
people Of this city and Davenport is ever
attempted again, the marshal or policeman
who does not at once use all his efforts to
stop it shall be dismissed.

The Camden road improvement is being
pushed forward with energy. 1t was, on
Monday, completed more than half way past
the fair grounds, and by the close of this
week will be done some distance beyond the
fair grounds.
A good ditch should be made the whole
way, and the earth thrown up against the
sidee of the Matchmaking, as high or higher
than the top of the rock, thus keeping the
rock in place and making a better turnout.
The surface of the Matchmaking should
also be covered with some fine substance or
it will never be travelled at all.
We also hope, if the council can make ad.
vantageous arrangements, the entire road
will be finished to Camden. We understand
that Mr.. Sears offers, if this is done, to dc
all the grading between the first bridge and
Camden, and pay one Thousand dollars to-
wards Matchmaking the same.

donkey into his room. But these dirty and
indecent habits Of the poor people In the
lazy old world are not only unknown but in
comprehensive TO American women of the
grade of Annie Smith.
Another thing about her takes the eye !;
the quality of her every day attire. In Eng
land, our female rustics, from the habit Of
going to church on Sundays, have caught
the custom Of dressing themselves in better
clothes on one day of the week than on the
other six days. They have in fact their
Sunday gowns, compared with which their
ordinary wear is nothing but snops and rags.
In these respects their sisters in Italy or
France resemble them the contadina hav-
ing her fiesta bodies, the paysanne her
saints cap. The Suffolk farmers wife, whom
you see coming out of church to-day, her
face bright with soap, her bonnet gay with
ribbons, has no objection to be seen by you
again tomorrow, gummy with dirt, and ar
rayed in patches. Not so in America; where
Annie thinks it would be in bad taste for her
to dress gaudily one day and shabbily six
days. True economy, she says, makes her
dress herself cleanly and nattily, even when
the materials of her gown are poor. One
good suit is cheaper than two Suits though
one of them may be coarse in texture and
mean in make. Good dressing is habit of
the mind, not question of the purse. Any
woman with needle in her hand may be
tidily dress'd.

" ANY ONE WILL DO"

A maiden once Of certain age,
To catch husband did engage;
But, having passed the prime of life
In striving to become wife,
Without success, she thought II time
To mend the follies of her prime.
Departing from the usual course
Ofpaint, and such like, for resource,
With nll her might, this ancient maid,
Beneath an oak tree knelt and prayed;
Unconscious that grave owl
Was perchcd abovc--thc mousing fowl
80! give-a husband, give!" she cried,
while yet may become bride,
Soon will my day of grace be DER,
And then like many maids before,
I'll die without nm carly love,
And none to meet me there above!
"Oh tits a fate too hard to bear;
Then answer this my humble prayer,
And, oh ! husband give to me |"
Just then the owl In tree,
In deep bass tones, cried, Who-who-who! |!
"Who, Lord And dost thou ask me who
Why, any one, good Lord, will do"
