ChIorOrcrrl ana Robbery.
Committee


About one week ago a Mr.. Scherer
sold his residence at No. 147 North
Dearborn street, Chicago, for the sum
of 81, 600, and deposited the money re-
allied from the sale in bank.
The terms OF the contract did not
require him to leave the house until
the first of May. and he is still its occu-
pant. Tt appears that his movements
in the matter must have been known
and noted by outside parties, as events
that transpired last evening prove that
he has been watched by persons who
however, seem not to have been aware
of the fact that he had placed the Yur-
chase money in safe keeping.
Mr.. Scherer's business generally de-
tains him away from home until quite
late. At about half past 10 O'Clock
ednesday evening last his wife made
her usual preparations for retiring, and
had just lain down upon tue bed when
two men sprang through the window.
Their faces were blackened, and from
the few words that they addressed to
each other, Mrs. Scherer is of the
opinion that they were Germans.
They Immediately approached the bed
side, and while one of the bur!arS held
her firmly by the shoulders, the other
applied sponge saturated with chloro-
form to her face. She was soon rem
dered insensible, and then the intruders
appear to have begun general search.
Nearly every article Of furniture in the
house was overturned trunks were
ransacked and carpets torn up, but the
only plumber secured was $40 in silver.
When she recovered her consciousness
the robbers had left: and her loud
screams soon brought policeman to
the place, who remained near by until
her husband returned.

rum, fail or refuse to qualify, or who
shall resign for that purpose, shall be
guilty Of misdemcanor, and upon
conviction, be fined not less than ST.
600.
This proposition brought on lengthy
debate, the democratic members de-
nounciug it upon the ground that it
was introduced to enforce the adoption
Of the amendment-an indirect way of
preventing the submission of the ques-
ton to the people. The republican
members contended that the bill is
nothing more than for enforcing the
constitution. and for the purpose of
preventing the breaking up of the gen.
eral assembly by leaving it without
a quorum.
A motion to reject the bill was laid
upon the table, by yeas 46, nays 81.
The bill was then referred to the ju-
dietary committee.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for
the legislative expenses of the session
was reported back with an amendment
making it 100000.
The bill was read a second time.
No quorum being present, the house
adjourned until Tuesday morning at
o'clock.

The GRAMS are Coming Ol,EEO!

When one man in family climbs
into position, the world never thinks Of
the ladder nor the individual rounds
thereof. 1t looks only at the fact of
his being up. The family falling Of
the Grants is, that they take everything
fer granted. They have studied the
Puritan dogma: Resolved that the
good things of the earth belong to the
elect Of the Lord Resolved that we
are the elect Hence they are
swarming like bees for official hives.
The New York Void says: 1t is ru-
mored that impecuuious members Of
the eight on ten different Grant clans
In Scotland are coming by the ship lead
to this country to Gil the subordinate
positions in the custom houses, post
Offices, departments and bureaus Of the
United States. The glad news has
gone abroad that all the Dents, all the
Caseys, all the Simpsons. all the
Shapes, all the relatives, near and
remote, of the Grants, Dents, Caseys,
Simpsons and Shapes and all the old
friends of all these families have been
provided for. Consequently, it is IN
derstood that the General intends to
fall back upon the original Grants for
fresh supplies, and so the Scotch
Grants are scratching around for means
with which to pay their passage to
America. We advise them to be ia
no haste about it. Covington, KY,
has just been surprised by the advent
Of one b L. Winans, who arrived
from Clermont county, Ohio, expressly
to take charge of the Covington post
Office. Wonder ceased when it was
discovered that Winans had married
niece of General Grant. So, in addi-
ton to the Caseys, Cramers, Simpsons,
Dents, Shapes, their relatives and
frien is, here are all the Winans to be
provided for, and thereafter the near
and remote connections of the Winans,
and then the old friends of the Winans.
Really it looks rs if there was no end
oft. But it simplifes Office seeking
and Office getting wonderfully. All
the old signature and red tape business
merges into the mere question of lami-
ly ties.-Ex.

country, that the public scarcely need to be in
formed OF its virtues uses.
Scrofuous poison is of the most destructive
enemies of our race Often this unseen and un-
felt tenant OF the organism undermincs the con-

fatal diseases, without exciting suspicion of its
presence. Again, it to breed infection
throughout the body. and then, on some favorable
OCCASION rapidly develop into one or other OF it's
hideous forms, either on the surface or among
tho vitals. In the latter, tubercles may bo sud
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors
formed In tho liver, or it shows its prescnce by
eruptons on the skin. or foul ulcerations on some
part OF tho body. Hence, the occasional use of
bottle of this sARSApARILLA is advisable, even
when no active symptoms of disease appear Per
sons afflicted with the following complaints, gene
rally find immediate relief, and, at length. cure
by tho use of this SARSAPARILLA: 81. Antao,
ScGh Head. Rng'oo'rn, Sore Eyes, Sore Ears,
and other eruptions or visible forms OF Scrofulous
disease Also, in the more concealed forn.s, as
Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Eolepsu.
Neuralgia, and the various Uicerous affections of
the muscular and nervous systems.
Syphilis or Penereal and Mercurial Diseases arc
cured by it, though long time ia required for
suoduing these obstinate maladies by any mcd-
cine. But long continued of this medicine
will cure the complaint. Leucorrhga or Iyhiles,
Uterine Ulcerations, and Female Diseases. are
commonly soon relieved and ultimately cured by
it's purifying and invigorating OBJECT. Minute d.
rections in each case arc found in our Almanac,
ouPPHeu Riatis. NeuhUftSnI and GOtl, when
caused by accumulations OF extraneous matters
