NEEDS REPAIRING BApLY.--A certain
water pipe on Eagle street, third story of
Mitchell 4 Lynde's block, on the east side,
directly over the Express Office, seems to be
badly in need of repairs. The cold atmos-
phere springs leak in it at one of the
third story windows, every night, making a
| very unsightly streak down the walls, and
attracting much attention from the crowds
who visit the post Office on the morning fol-
| lowing. 1t has been suggested TO US that
the union of little rosin and soft sawder
might close the issure, and prevent all fur
Their damages. The owner has no doubt
frequently repaired it, but will he make one
more trial? b. s~sa

ESLARGNe.-The bindery of Messrs. De-
voc Il Champion is one of the institutions of
our city, and having been conducted on cor
rect principles, has absorbed much of the
trade of this section which was formerly at
traeted to Chicago. We learn this morning
that that firm has leased three more rooms
adjoining their bindery, above their book
and stationery store, and will materially en-
large their facilities for doing every descrip.
ten of work in that line. Their force oi
employees has also been increased. This
department will continue to remain under
the superintendent of Mr.. Fl. II. Young,
who has been turning out work equal to any
produced at Chicago. Severalimprovements
have also been made in the book store which
viii be thoroughly painted.

BEHIND THE TIMEs.-The Rim Union
seems to be under the impression that Abram
WAGNER is running for assessor, and is Ia
boring to show that the people ought to vote
against Wagner and for Comet. The Rim,
Union is behind the times. V. Nj. Bland
ing Esq, is the democratic candidate for as
sessor-a man of just as good judgement as
10. Comet or any other man.in regard to the
value of property, and a great deal better
qualified tina Comet to perform the
duties of then office. He belongs
to no Clique or "ring,n is not
chronic oflee-seeker; has not been in
Office all his life, like Comet; did not ask 70,
the nomination, andIwas not present at the con
| vention which nominated him. He wasnom
| mated beca1se of his peculiar fitness for the
Office, his uprightness, his integrity, his in
| telligence and because he will indeavor to do
| exact and impartial justice to to all, without
fear, favor or affection for any. He is just
the man who ought to fill such an Office.
AN INSULT TO RELIGIoN.-Thursday morn.

John Sullivan, was fined, in the police court
| for having been found on the streets intoxi-
Gated. After filming him, (he had previous

die the man had, with the articles ON the ia
BILE, was being examined. Among the
things was a. crucifx, which City Marsha
| Mclaughlin took in his hand and held up
saying, in sneeriug way, "Here's his little
Jesus-lets take it for his fne!" The pris
oner was present, and heard the shocking
and insulting remark. He was probably &
| catholic. Other catholics were also present
Nothing could be more shocking, exasperat
ing or insulting to every catholic in the land
| And this is done by the man the radicals o
Rock Island have set up to maintain the
! majesty and dignity of the law, and repre-
sent the power and responsibility and decen
cey of $4,000 people. Here's his little
Jesus-let's take it for his fne!" is tn,
