I'm MENADklAM.

WALTER LESLIE SLOWER, only child of
Warren and Mary M. Slower, was born at
Vernon, La, April 81. 1868, and died at the
same place, June 9. 1879.
"The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken
away; blessed be the name Of the Lord.''
The death ofthis lovely and inte1 resting little
boy has touched the Heart strings of all who
knew him; and bis afflicted parents may rest
assured. Gfindeed there be any consolation in
that reflectlon) that they "grieve not alone"
But there IS a consolation far sweeter, more
cheering. and enduring than this world can
give. For CHRIST has said, 'sSnffer little
children to come unto me and forbid them not;
for Of such is the kingdom of Heaven" His
words fail not.
1t may be that their little darling has been
taken from them, and sent before to prepare
the way by which they shall meet him
Elm that bright world beyond the sky,
Which SORROW meier invadcs."
One thing may be assumed as indsputable
that if there be sense or truth in the languag e
of our blessed SAVIOR, just quoted, (and who
will dare 10 question either? . the spirit o
sweet little WALTER. when manci pated from
its earthly tenement, took its flight toward:
HEAVEN, and is now reposing on the bosom o

HAWLEY WILLING TO BETRAY THE
INTERESTS OF ROCK ISLAND.
The Charge made direct.

The Union continues to dodge and paddle
around the damaging fact that Hawley was
willing to betrsy the interests of the people
OF this city, Moline, Camden, and in fact
the whole county, by helping kill the free
carriage bridge over the Mississippi river.
The facts about the matter are simply AS
follows:
Mr.. John B. Hawley did, at the ~solicita
ton of the ferry company, and to help his
political friends, Spencer, Robinson d Co =,
write q letter to A. C. Harding, then our
congressman, urging him to kill the
bridge appropriation on the ground that
the bridge would injure the ferry franchise
of Robinson Il Co., aud that it was their duty
to protect and aid the interests of their poll
teal friends that Robinson 4 Co could
do q good deal for the party and the party
must protect them, etc., etc. Mr.. Hawley,
before mailing that letter, showed it TO
several of the political friends of his party.
He then mailed it, and when he got Hsrd>
ing's reply he showed that also. Mr.. Hard
ing's reply WAS b very proper one. He
plainly told Hawley that he would be glad
to help his friend Robinson, and his party
friends, but that if he killed the bridge
appropriation, as he could do, the effect
would be to defeat all appropriations for the
Arsenal, and that would ruin any man or
any party. He, therefore, regret.ing that
he could not sccede to Hswley, Robinson &
Co.'S request, must decline to interfere
These are the facts, plainly stated-and
when the leading republicans WI named Cd
Saturday will deny, by affidavit, that they
saw Eawley's letter and Harding's answer.
we shall be ready to paw the reward offered
or five times the amount named, to any
charitable object, to be named by the Young
Mems Christian Association. Can you get
the affidavit, NJ. Union If you can't get
it, is it not pretty good evidence that Haw-
ley was willing to betray the interests of our
people to help Robinson & Co?
If he would betray the interests of all the
people of this county for his party friends,
Spencer, Robinson & Co., is it not equally
certain that he has BETRAYED and will again
betrsy il elected, the interests of the West
for his party friends East, the Protection
lists?

THOSE THIEyIEG RADICALS.

Last March q Democrat member of con
Rress offered q resolution calling upon the
secretary of the treasury to furnish congress
with the names of the defsulting revenue
collectors together with the amount they had
stolen from the government. This was a
bitter pill for these radicals, bu, having
made great preten,lons of honesty, they
dare not refuse to swallow it. The resolu
ton was adopted, and Mr.. Boutwell, made
his report. He reports the names of three
hundred and forty radical hieres and rob

stolen. Here are a few of the names of

Female Complaint,

That claims its victims throughout the LEM 9Th
and breadth of our land.
Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period; some girls are in great peril at
the commencement Of menstruation, while older
ones dread its decline at the "turn OF life." Some
times the menstrual flow is too much, or too lit
tie, or may be attended with pain; may be ir-
regular or entirely checked. or changed in ap-
attended with other distressing symp-
toms Leucorrhea, or the "Whites," frequently
drains the sy tenn, or liberation of the womb
may create pain aud cause rapid prostration-
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly COM
mon complaint, giving much trouble and distress
which, under ordinary treatment, is difficult to
cure.
Mysteries, Green Sickness, Irritability of the
Womb, and ether serious and fatal complaints
follow the female ses throughout life. Lives
there a medical gentleman who has or can re-
heve the fair sex of the above troubles? Not
many. Is there no combination of remedial
agents that will come to her rescue2 We an
swer, Yes.

Blooming Young Girls,

Middie-ased matrons, those at the critical period
and the aged grandmother, are all cured by the
use of our English Female Bitters, now prescri-

%fnement, and all others (male or female) who are
convalescents from any rrotracted or facilitating

Just examine closely, this magnificent
specimen of radical wisdom. The mass of
he people, the farmers, mechanics mer.
chants and laborers, are all taxed, at the
very lowest average, .to1tyttre per cent, in
gold, upon the most i'm portsnt necessaries
of every day consumption, while the wealthy
and comfortable classes-the national bank
ers, bondholderS aud iand-grabbers, for
instance, are permitted to import articles of
ornament and luxury at mere nominal
duty, ranging in fact from entire exemption
from duty up to 10 or 25 cent.
