The Illinois members Of Congress are
Uniformed that no special election will be
held to fill the vacancy occasioned by Gen,
Logan's election TO the Senate, but that
his successor will be chosen at the regular
election next fall. The Governor thinks
that the State can better afford 10 have
one Representative less than her quota

As there is good deal Of Interest at the

amounts altogether to s20O, ,O00.o 600, OF Whlch
eco 900 900 have ACTUALLY been paid, partly u

The Indians story.

my camp fire, alone. heard q strange noise.
Ii was something like voice which told
me to go to her. The camp was some ais-

night was dark and gloomy. The wolves
howled around me as went from hammock
to hammock. Sounds came often to my ear ;
i thought she was speaking to me. At day
light reached her camp; she was dead.
Some time after, willis out deer hunting,
sat alone By the side of d large oak, waiting
for the game. In the moss hanging over me
heard strange sounds. tried to sleep,
but could not. felt myself moTing, and

where all was bright and happy. { saw clear

white cloud approaching, and, when just be-
fore me, out of it came my twin sister,
dressed in white and covered with bright sill

often braided, hung down her back. She
clasped me around the neck and said ;
sCaocoochee, Caocoochee.'' knew hen voice
but could notspeak. With one hand she gave
me string Of white beads; in the other she
held cup sparkling with pure water, which

Spirit. and il would drink from it should

she sang the peace song of the seminoles
and danced around me. She had silver bells

THE sNTERNATI0NALs.

The international Workingmen's iAssocia-
ton has just issued an address to all
ssEnglish speaking citizens of the United
States.'' For the better understanding OF its
position an elaborate statements is made, both
of its principles and its objects. The latter
are briefly summed up in the following sem
tence:
1.-The object Of the international is simply
to emancipate the laborer, male and female,
by the conquest of political power
The N. Y. Evening Post says:
s.We are not quite sure that the address
before us does not in a measure justify the
suspicion and the dread which the society
has aroused among the governments OF
Europe 1t begins by announcing the OBJ
jeet Of the society as the universal combina-
sion Of the workmen throughout the world
for political purposes; it proclaims its own
intense devotion to the cause OF democracy
even at the expense of revolutions, If success
is impossible without it. Ii declares that an
appeal to arms may be necessary before the
long struggle between capital aud labor shall
be settled"
The Sacramento Union remarking upon
this, says: i.
:.Such an association will be looked upon
with suspicion by all true Americans
On which the Sacramento Bee comments
as follows:
"Why should Americans suspicion it lts
objects being simply to emancipate the La
borer, male and female, by the conquest o.
political power, Americans should sympa
thize with it! But it has aroused suspicion
aud dread among the governments of Europe
where it has announced its devotion TO the
cause of democracy, even at tile expense
revolution Better and better. Americans
are not afraid Of democracy that we know
of nor do they fear revolution in Europe
Why then, should Americans fear itl? Or
rather, why should the Union say they do
fer we are very sure that they" don't"

Another Mormon Exodus Threat
ened.

IF the .Mormons determine to make an
other exodus, where are they to go! Ihefe
are not many more wildernesses TO conquer
on this continent; for since the Saints Ifst
settled in Utah the railroad and telegraph
have brought all sections Of our country to-
eether, and made, as it were, one family OF
the whole American people. One railroad
already crosses the Continent; others are
under way, and before many years graha
longitudinal railway will constitute the IRON
hack bone of the Continent from Huason
Raw to the Isthmus of Darien. The Nor
mons will. therefore, find themselves hemmed
in on all sides by the vast improvements oI
the age, and finally be obliged ITO succumo 'lrfl
or be dispersed like the lost tribes OF Israel.
| The Mormons cannot afford to make another
exodus. Their grown up children, TO say
nothing of their many wives, will not con-
sent to it. and none but a few old superanu-
ated elders, who are of no particular use
anywhere, will form the grand caravan thai
will start for the new Promised Land. Oul
advice to the Saints and sinners of Mormon,
dom is, stay where you are, adapt yourselves
to the spirit of modern progress and civil
zation, obey the laws OF morality and 9
Uncle Sam, love your neighbors--nct theil
wives--as yourselves, and you VIII surely
reap and enjoy the blessed reward of th'
| faithful. IN. X. Herald.
