VISIONS.
BY GussIK.


We all have visions floating thro' the brain
Like bubbles blown but oft to burst again I.
With shifting shapes, and colors bright and
gay
Now cleaning, glowing-fadlng now away.
The artist, holds his dream within his hand;
And, By the magic waving of a wand,
Trsnsfixes TO the canvas, true and clear,
The visions which to him so oft appear.
The masters Of sweet sounds, grow eloquent
A nd put a tongue in every instrument
Which tells, ia measures full of harmony,
The secrets OF their dreams most musically,
The poet, sings Of hopes, and joys and woes;
His dream in rythm, beats and overfows
And floods the world with it's melodious
swell,
And bears upon it's tide our hearts as we'll.
In deeds-thO' dumb-the brave their dreams
pursue;
And, In grand, noble acts-aud good and true,
Prove that a will may work out e'er way;
And visions of the night, grow real by day
Let aspiration lead each onward then,
What we all dream we iDould do, believe we
cdH;
He that would truly act, e'er perseyores,
Only the idle dreamer, hopes-and fears

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.

A horrible outrage was perpetrated
in Linn township, Warren county,
Iona, on boy about fourteen years
old, by two devils named McKissick
and Hart.
The boy, who was living at McKis-
sick's, was accused by them of rob-
bing two men who slept in room
with him. The boy denied his guilt,
and, threats falling to extort a con
fession, the two brutes whipped HIM
numerically again and again, until
Monday night, when the boy was ia
ken to well some ten feet deep, with
q rope round his neck, he was lowered
epeatedly head-foremost into the wa
ter until nearly drowned. The same
night he was taken upstairs in Nc
Kissick's House. by McKissick and
Hart, and there laid on his face on
the floor; his feet bound a rope
passed over the .rafters so as to draw
his feet some twenty inches from the
floor; his hands were bound behind
him and drawn up in the same way
to about the same elevation; and his
head dashed to bed-post by cord
form bis neck. In this condition he
was left until ten o'clock Tuesday,
when some neisghbors discovered and
released him from his painful posi-
ton more dead than alive. The boy
had neither food or water save wher
ducked in the well from Sunday even
ing to Tuesday noon. McKissicl
and Hart, who are both men ofprop
erty, were arrested and yesterday
held to answer for assault with intent
to infict great bodily injury, and also
served with notice in civil suit fol-
tive thousand dollars damages.

SUSPENSION Of KEN OsHA CoUN-
TY REPUBLICAN,. " VIZ.

We take the following from the Edi-
torial Winnowings of the Walworth 30.
Independent: as M
We are glad to see that the publication
of the Kenosha Cou2ty Republican has
been suspended. The fact is two Repub.
lican papers at Kenosha crippled both
and neither could be efficient The TEL
sgraph is a good paper and deserves the
united support of the Republicans OF
Kenosha. The field is OILY large enough
for one paper. ale
Until now We have said nothing Of the
suspension of the Republican for various
reasons, principally that.as it was scarcely
known in Kenosha County, it was. not
worth noticing its suspension. In its last
issue but one,in announcing its suspension,
the Republican assigned as the reason Of
its suspension, its signal failure to make
money in accordance with its primary oh
ject when starting, and gave as the reason
of the failure the want OF ad vcrtising pat
ronage, saying at the same time that its cir.
culation was large and constantly increes-
ing. AS large and constantly increasing
circulation are the chief essentials in Sc
curing advertising patronage, and as the
RepacbItcan was ushered into existence
without either circulation or a reasonable
prospect of obtaining circulation, we
could not see why it would not be as like
~ to continue, notwithstanding its an
nouncement Ct suspension, as it was to
usher itself into existence. But as the Re-
pu6ttcGn has not made its appearance for
three or four weeks,and as we see its sus
pension announced by our exchanges, We
have reason to conclude that it has sus.
pended
The facts are that the Republican never
had a circulation sufficient, if quadrupled,
to warrant lis commencement, and proba
bly, no paper, in proportion to its circu a.
ion, ever had advertising patronage
equal to tin quantity at least, if not in
amount paid for it.
We are sorry that the projectors and
publishers of the Republican should have
signally failed in their primary object to
make monay. And we hope their expe-
Tience in the enterprise may prove a use
full lesson to them and guard them against
future undertakings where there is no
even remote prospect of success. And
we hope that knowledge gained from ex-
perience, the exercise of good judgement,
and perseveri3g Efforts, will hereafter Sc.
cure to them success in the primary OBJ
ject of their enterprises

MERCURY AND THE LIVER.

The British Medical Association has
been startled from its long dreams of the
efficacy of ca'omel in promoting healthy
action of the liver, BY a report lately
made to that body, showing the following
results of q careful inv estigation on the
subject:
1. That in whatever form or dose,
whether continuous moderate doses of
blue pill, minute and frequent doses OF
calomel, or large doses of it, mercury ut
terly fails to stimulate the liver.
2. The constitutional action of mercury
excited both slowly and rapidly by cor
rosivc sublimate, produced the same re.
suits. In poisonous doses it produced .
marked diminutlon in the flow of bile.
5. Mercurial Injunction was followed
by negative results; and it was regarded
as proved that, so far from Increasing.
mercury, by its general depressing action
upon the system, actually diminished the
amount of bile. #n

At recent lecture in New York before
the Nautical School, DR.. Thoms stated
an interesting theory 70 account for the
loss of the steamship City of Washington.
The disaster, he held, was caused by a
deviation of the ships compass, occa-
stoned by the electrical condition of the
atmosphere consequent upon the appear
ance of the aurora borealis during the
voyage. He exhibited an instrument
called the palinurus, employed to detect
md note the variations of ships COM
pass during p voyage. The Lapland,
which sailed from England only day
after the City Of Washington, carried
such an instrument, which showed that,
during the appearance Of the aurora
borealis, her compass deyiated 115o.
This deviation, occurring as it must have
done on the City of Washington at the
beginning of her voyage, would cause her
to diverge 30 miles from her course in
in every hundred, and she was only 15C
miles out of her reckoning when wreck
ed.
Some of the witnesses examined during
the recent government inquiry testified
that they believed that the loss of tho
vessel was due to deviation of the COM
passes, caused by the iron and steel
of which her cargo was chiefly composed

An experiment has recently been start
ed in London which will undoubtedly
attract very general attention. A build
ing has been erected behind st. Mark 8
Church, at cost of $4,000, which is to
be used partly for church purposes, and
partly as workingmen's club. The idea
of the vicar of the church which has been
instrumental in erecting the building is,
that social club. independent in its man
agement, ought to exist every parish as
an adjunct to the church. and missionary
labor One Of the fret movements of the
Club was to supply its members with
beer, because it was found that the gmem
bers could not be retained without it.
There is no bar in the house, and the
drink is not obtrusively displayed; but
it is always there for those who want it.
This is the b ldest innovation yet made,
and it will undoubtedly arouse storm
from conservative churchmen; but is 1t
not better for the Church to hold men
with beer than not to hold them at all !?

for an additional allowance to the
