Amania for the collection Of old en-
cravings, and especially of rare portraits
Of distinguished individuals Of q past
age. has broken out in New York, and
the pictorial rubbish in the second hand
book stores of Nassau street is being
zealously searched by eager hands, and
scrutinized BIZ sharp eyes, for the sake
of the once neglected, but now coveted
treasures of art The special feature OF
the present rage" for these old pictures
is the desire to possess a book-some
historical work of the American or the
FIRST French Revolution, tor example
in which the pictures thus obtained may
he pasted between the leaves of the vol
ume in such way as to furnish portraits
of individuals, or to illustrate scenes IN
the text. IN order to accomplish this
result successfully, however the book
which is 10 be illustrated ip this manner
must frat be taken TO pieces, and then
rebound with alternate blank pages upon
which the engravings, properly prepared
are 10 be pasted. This harmless iaaHia
Is commendable for two reasons: first
Il rewards the patience of the gathereri
Of these old engravings; and, second
| Il presents a means Of preserving many
beautiful specimens of art.

WHAT Is VINUM VITEf

This wine is prepared to take the place of
Whisky and other spirits known to be made up
OF Fusil Oil aud other deleterious articles. The
Wine of Life is distilled with great care. sspeo-
tally for those who require . healthy stimulant,
and for the use of Medical Men and Nurses In
the sick room, in place of the vill.inous Brandy,
Nhlskey, and othsr Liquors now in use, and go
often depended upon. In fact, it 10 a constant
complaint Of Physicians in this country. that is
is impossible to procure Brandy, Whiskey and
Wine FOR their patients. We ask the Medi-
cal faculty and the public to give Warmers Vim
um Vita or Wine OF Life q trial, and we ask
chemists AMI physicians to anaiyze it, then speak
of it according to its merits, compare 1t with
Whiskey, Brandy, and other such articles, and
see the difference. If they find the Wine of Life
is pure and wholesome, and the other Liquors
poisonous, (which they certainly will do,) then
they are morally bound to prescribe and recon-
mend the Wine of Life to their patients and
friends Is the best stimulant and tonic in use,
and as a valuable substitute for Whisky and
Brandy but should they find it not pure and
what the proprietors claim for it, let them pub
lioly denounce it. 1t is the Physicians duty to
learn and ind out which is the most wholesome
stimulant for his patients, and to do 80 he must
examine andlook into the quality of each article,
and learn for himself if the Wine Of Life has any
peculiar merits to warrant its general use. The
proprietors claim the Wine of Life to be more
wholesome and far superior and cheaper than
whiskey or brandy, or, in fact, any other article
in common use, and ought to DO used in every
family. Everybody should give it trial. 1t is
a new thing, only been in use about one year,yet
it has alread gained . great name and a won
derful sale, and whoever once tries ID ALWAYS
it to his friends. 1t has the same
strength a. whiskey, but it is peculiarly pleasant,
even delicious, and any one would DO orazy to
take ~hissey, &C., ifhe can get the Wine Of Life.
1t is for sale by Druggis:s every where, in quart
bottles. ptice one dollar or an be bought by the
case, containing one dozen bottles, for ten dollars.
We challenge the world to produce q purer,
cheaper, and nicer article than Warmers Vinum
Vita. or Wine of Life. Take . bottle of il home
and give 1t trial. doaw-thur-A

READER, if you have a sick horse do not
dose him with Condition Powders' con-
tanning anthony, which is just as useless
and injurious to him as is the constantly
swallowing of poisonous compounds to the
human system. 1t ia more humane to knock
q horse on the head at once than to kill him
by inches through the action of antimony
which accumulates in the system, and thus
sooner or later produces death by antimoni.l
poisoning. Remember, reader. there is no
antimony, nor any other poison in the "Eq-
uine Condition Powders" Their action,
under all circumstances, is physiological:
therefore they can be safely used in all forms
of disease whether acute or chronic) with
decided benefit to afflicted animals.

The Election Elsewhere.

The smoke is clearing away from the
great states Of the Union, leaving the radi-
calls terribly demoralized, their ranks deci-
mated, thinned out, broken, and their
msjorities in many instances entirely wiped
out. In the result there is much to
encourage democrats for the contest OF
1872, which is already beginning to occupy
the attention of the country. Large demo
cratic gains have been made in every state
showing q marked change and revolution In
public sentiment. In no instance have the
democrats lost ground, but have gained
everywhere.
New York has rolled up fifty thousand
majority in the face of tbs
determined opposition and threats of Grant
and his armed missions sent to that state,
to insimidate voters and prevent an honest
expression Of opinion.
Missouri has given the radicals q terrible
blow, from which they can never recover.
With half her white men disfranchised, she
has sent the RAIDS and their black cohorts
bowling into everlasting political oblivion.
kentucky, Delaware and Maryland follow
suit, and in all the other states We have
made gains o. congressman, and state
representatives, what these will be with
full returns cannot now be stated, certain is
i. that we shall gain eight or ten. In this
state we are certain of gaining two and
perhaps three. In the fifth district Stevens
beats Rev. Ives and Indgersoll, where there
was over seven thousand republican majors
i.y two years ago. Us. Robinson is beaten
in the eighth district, by 1000 and
in this district it is just about a
''.oss up between Cable and Hawley and
the chances strongly against US.

THE ELECTION.
Democratic Gains Everywhere.
What Earnest Work will do.

Yesterday was election, and as usual
when there is a large democratic
gain, the returns come IN
slowly. The democrats of this city and
county never worked better or more effect
uslly in getting out the democratic vote and
the result shows a heavy democratic gain in
every voting precinct. In spite OF the
desperate efforts of the radicals in this city
to secure a majority for Hawley. Mr.. Cable
has a majority 81, a gain OBS votes. Haw-
ley and his friends used every means to
carry the election. They resorted to the
~despicsble practice of buying votes and
threatening to discharge lsboring men
unless they voted for Hawley.
AS in other places all the influence of the
federal power was brought to bear. Work.
men on the Island were told by Hawley and
his friends and by one of the foremen at the
works, named Flemming that they must
vote the republican ticket or lose their
places. The result was that nearly all OF
the Island vote, including many democrats,
and among the number such democrats as
Mr.. Downs voted the republican ticket, OF
course democrats with families to support
and winter just coming on, cannot be
blamed, but all fairminded men will con
denim such despicabie means to
intimidate voters and preventing an honest
expression of opinion at the ballot box.
In Moline the same desperate means were
resorted to. Some of themanufactnrers stood
al the polls and took democratic tickets out
of the hands of voters and tore them up and
made them vote the radical ticket, driving
them to the polls like so many cattle, the
result is the radical majority Of 433. We
have however gained four over the vote of
two years ago, which is q big thing tor such
a black hole. Talk about slavery,a and such as
this in Illinois isthe meanest kind of slavery.
Attempts were made to drive democrats
away for the polls, and the few who did
stand firm are deserving of great praise.
With these exceptions we have made
heavy gains, and even if we did not elect q
single man on the ticket, the result is q
glorious victory. The heavy radical major.
tiles have been cut down to insignificant
numbers and in many instances We have
msjorlties. Our gains come principally
from the country, and indicate a gradual
change Of public sentiment from the bet
ter.
Little Carbon Cliff comes in with colors
flying fer equal rights-a democratic gain of
65, which is due to republicans going back
on incompeten. Hawley, and to getting out
the whole democratic vote.
In this city both sides worked oil day and
up to the close Of the polls at 8 O'Clock.
Voters stood in line for two and three hours,
and all worked with q will. To the young
democrats of this city, we would give the
credit Of the glorious results achieved.
Never did men work harder or moro faith
fully against a persistent and determined
opposition, and the home Of Mr.. Cable need
not be ashamed ofthe result. If the other
counties had done as we'll, he would certain
ly have been elected. Young democrats Of.
Rock Island, you have done your duty
nobly.
