A VERY DESTITUTE FANmY.-In lit
lie house, about IL by l6 feet, standing on
stills, away down near the old fair grounds,
can be found poor widow with four sick
ly children, tall little girls destitute of
every comfort of life. The house, open
underneath, is not even plastered, or cell
ed overhead. They have no coal, and are
in starving condition. The poor woman
has been a widow for some five years, and
has struggled hard, by her own industry,
to keep from being a public charge. The
case, as told to US, is a very sad one, and
calls loudly for attention by our charitable
societies. We appeal to the associations
Tor aiding the poor to investigate it
before they sleep another night For fur
ther particulars Of this case Of extreme
suffering inquire Of Police Magistrate
Chopper.
r. S.-Since the above was in type we
learn that Mr.. Chopper took up subscrip
ton and raised little money for this fam
lily, and placed it in the hands of Mrs. L.
Carter, who has expended it for temporary
relief, and that Supervisor Krell has au-
thorized load of coal to be sent to them.
Funds for the relief of this and other poor
families, placed in the hands of the ladies'
Of the Industrial Association, of which
Mrs Carter is President, will be carefollv
expended to relieve suffering, ~

port, near the LeClaire residence, pro
crosses satisfactorily. Last evening fine
band in front of the school house on
Eleventh street attracted hundreds of peo-
pie to the place, who witnessed an exhibi-
ton consisting Of tableaux and plays which
well rewarded them for attendance. On
the previous evening the children received
presents, and had a good time, and last
evening the entertainment was provided
for the elder people. The festival closes
this evening, offering superior inducements
to those who desire to spend pleasant
evening. A gold watch for the most
popular young lady is offered, and polls
are open to decide the question. The con-
test will be an interesting one-and
profitable, too, we judge, for the school
house fund.

MERxLY SUaeEsTToNs. Without In the
least desiring to curtail the joys of the
jolly bilEardists and the happy egg-nogists,
THE ARGUS modestly ventures to suggest
that very little of their cash which they
spend so freeley might be made to bring
them many blessing from the poor who
always offer sincere prayers for those who
help them in their misfortunes. There's
many poor widow, suffering child, and
weak and WORKOUT old man, right here in
this city, who would bless them for even
the cost Of one cigar Few know the
pangs OF hunger and the dreary, almost
hopeless days and nights of cold and suffer
ing which come to many innocent, good,
but unfortunate people at our own doors,
and to whom crust of bread or a cup of
water, given in His name, certainly brings
blessing Now, what THE ARGUS sug-
gests is that, every Saturday night, in
every saloon in Rock Island, during the
cold weather, collection be taken up for
the poor, by some trusty man, The num-
Der Of nickles and dimes gathered in that
way would really relieve much suffering,
if properly used. The men to whom THE
ARGUS appeals are ever noted for kind
ness and hberality of heart There's not
another class of men on earth I'VE make
no exception) who contribute so readily and
so literally, in proportion to their means,
to relieve the poor and the suffering, as
the frequenters of saloons. But they are
not the best judges in distributing this aid,
for the reason that they are not disposed
to question closely those who ask for aid,
The good priest, or parson, or ladies' asso-
Citations for aiding the poor, can make a
little money do more good than can
the large-hearted men, old or young, who
give it Suppose an association should
be formed for this purpose, either by the
saloon keepers or those who frequent the
saloons? Let the collection be taken up
every Saturday night, and the sums col
lected m each place, for the poor, be pub
lished in the papers, thus showing exactly
how much comes from each saloon. THE
ARGUS will do it free of charge. We are
satisfied that, if such an association should
be formed it would collect more money
and relieve more suffering than any other
one association in the city. If the saloon
keepers like the plan they might easily
call a meeting at some billiard hall, and in
augurate the movement, and carry it out
with success.

Rock RIVER NAvIGATIoN.-The editor
OF the Real Estate Reporter, who probably
owns some land up Rock river INDUCES in
the following pleasant fancies in regard to
that stream:
we predict that, in less than fifteen
years, Rock river will be a navigable
stream, and that steam propellers will
make trips daily from the Mississippi river
TO the Wisconsin State line. The river
has fine breadth and a noble channel.
and it will not be a difficult thing-when
money gets to be plentiful in the Rock
River Valley-to build locks around each
Of the dams, so as not to interfere with
the water-powers, sufficient for the passage
OF good class Of vessels and If there
happens to be railroad bridge or two in
the way, the vessels must be so constructed
as TO pass them. In early times, steam
boats Of very good class made the trip
from St. Louis to Beloit, in a high stage
Of water and where steamboats, have
been they can be made to go again"

PROPER EXPOSURE OF THERMOMETERS
during the extremely cold weather of
the first half Of the week, many people
wondered why the mercury in their Their
mometers marked so many more degrees
Of cold than did the instrument at the {.
5. Signal Office, and Officer Mark was
asked hundred questions about it. Of
course there was difference in the Their
mometers-the one in the signal Office
being the most perfect that is made, while
the others are not put up with that degree
OF accuracy the government insists upon.
There is difference, also, in the manner
of exposure. The instructions to signal
officers are plain and simple enough, and
may be followed by any person who owns
thermometer Here they are, as given
to the Gazette by Mr.. Mark:
For the purpose of measuring the tenn
perature OF the air, thermometer should
be exposed IN the open air. where the cir
culatl0n is unobstructed 1t should face
the north, and should always be in the
shade. 1t should be removed AZ least a
foot from the wall of the building and
should be elevated at least 10 feet from the
ground. 1t should be protected against
the heat reflected by neighboring objects,
such as buildings or sandy soil, and il
should be sheltered from the rain. If the
Thermometer should happen to become
moistened by rain, the bulb should be
carfully dried about five minutes before
taking the observation, since drops of
water by their evaporation will lower the
temperature of mercury in the bulb. In
order to secure all these advantages it is
necessary to cover the thermometer with a
wooden frame of open lattice-work so as to
allow free circulation of air.
