THE WEEKLY ARGUS.
REDUCTION IN PRICE.

There never was a time in the history of our
country when greater necessity existed for cir
culAting pure Democratic documents. Radical
legislation has made grave yard and desert of
half of our country; our liberties have been in
irInged upon to an alarming extent; oyerwhelm-
ed with debt, and staggering under its load of
corruption and imbecity, our government il
the scof and by-word of foreign nations; dispis.
cd at home and derided abroad it is overhanR
| ing the very brink of destruction; the departure
of our people from the glorious precepts of the
past has led them into labyrinth of anarchy
from which many see no escape but in military
despotism. The New York Impcriaiist, founded
and supported by the bond holding aristocracy,
Is laundering for the establishment Of an Empire;
its efforts receive the countenance of high gov
ernment officials, and the appreciation of the
manufacturing nabobs ofthe East we are rapid
ly drifting upon breakers which must soon test
the stability of the ship of State. There is no
hope for the future, save in rousing the people |
to their duties as citizens, and to realization of
the peril in which their liberties are placed. |
There is but one way to redeem the country from |
the demagogues and plunderers who are fast urg- |
ing it to ruin. The masses must return to the |
nj pft tl,p Cat .F Al,
from places of trust the spoilers fattcning upon
the life blood Of the nation, and place in power
only those who will administer our affairs with
prudence and economy. There must be a
change in the government within the next four
years. The people must choose between Democ-
racy and Imperialism. The struggle has already
commenced The Democratic party will be
found, as in the past battling against monarch
cal ideas, and for the supremacy of the people
Circulate the documents.
With this object in view, we have determined
to reduce the price of the WEEKLY ARGUS, and
hope, thereby, to place it in the hands of every
Democrat in the county, and within the reach
of every political opponent who may desire to
investigate facts and listen to the truth while yet
here is time. On and after the lst of July, the
price of the WEEKLY ARGUS will be as follows:
Single Copy, one year, 90
Ten Copies, sent to one address, each, ,...2,25
Twenty do do 200
When not paid in advance, ,.........., 800
Gs- The cost Of publishing paper is as
great now as during the war, but we make this
to still further increase our circulation
We invite all thinking men to aid US.

Grand River improvement Scheme.
From the Cincinnati Times

We have noticed several articles by Pete,

other works. would establish perpetual water
communication from the Rocky Mountains
to the Atlantic.
Mr.. Clark indorses as perfectly, practica.
bic, Mr.. Elet's plan for keeping up con.
stantly navigable stage Of water in the Ohio
by means of great dams across the principal
ahluents of the Ohio, These dams would
afford slack water navigation to these tribu.
taries, and water power as well as hold
back the surplus water, to be let off as il
might be needed to prevent too great fall in
the main river Mr.. Ellet was an eminent
engineer. lie published his views before
the Smithsonian Institute, in lsi9, but he
fell IN his country's service, and his theory
is taken up by Mr.. Clark. lie thinks that
twenty million dollars judiciously expended
upon the Upper Mississippi, the Missouri,
the Ohio, and other great tributaries of the
father of Waters would not only create many
thousands of miles Of steam boat navigation,
but would also secure the Valley of the Mis-.
sissippi from the annual floods which spread
desolAtion and ruin throughout its whole

THE
The Danish CHAPLAIN,

John Lassenius the Chaplain to the
Danish Court, who died at COpenha-
gen i'm 1892, having for a long time
perceived to his VeXatiOn that during
the sermon the greatest part OF his
congregation fell asleep, suddenly
stopped, pulled n shuttlecock out OF
his pocket, and began to play with II
IL in the pulpit. A circumstance so
extraordinary naturally attracted the
attention of that part of the cOngre-
cation who were still awake. They
logged those who were sleeping and
i'm a short time everybody was lively
and looking TO the pulpit with the
greatest establishment. This was just
what Lassenius wished, for he inn
mediately began a most severe casti-
gatOry discourse, saying: when l
announce to you sacred and import
ant truths you are not ashamed TO go
to sleep, but when | play the fool you
are all eve and ear!n
A curious habit is recorded of Las
senius. He used TO stop in the mid
die of his sermon and take a glass OF
wine or other cordial. This practice
is being revived by some nOncOnform-
ist ministers in London, who have a
tumbler of water by their side in the
pulpit. An old minister says that
this is owing TO the excessive dry
| ness which c~haracteriZes them III
