NOTES HERE AND THERE.

White clover isbeginning to kill off tn,
cows.
Mr.. Frank l. Jervis, the Hermit Of
Iowa, gave lecture to crowded house on
Saturday evening, in the University Chap
ell, under the auspices of the literary socie
ties. The subject of the lecture was The
English Drama"
! Let the people of Rock Island remember
that the Union Office, Dr. Gregg, E. p.
Reynolds, and 400 to 500 other people are
yet owing city taxes for 1871, and if they
are not paid, to use the language of the
Union, the difference must be made up
by the poorer and the Union says honest
en- but we omit that word people. "
The famous Essex Mcpherson colt case
is continued to next term of court, at the
expense Of Mcpherson, he claiming that an
important witness for him was absent.
When people dig up the streets to put in
water or gas they should be required to
lamp the earth back into the trench and
leave the street in as good order as they
found it. The street supervisors should
see to it-and a good place to begin is in
front OF Charley Hengstler's cigar store.
Whoever did that job should be required
to do it over again
The City Council, not having sufficient
fear of the Little Blonde, approved the
record Of former meetings as made by the
clerk. SO comes to nought the nonsense
of the Union, about doctoring the record.

Bishop church, in Davenport, win take

'It is something, Florimond, which will

for it removes the only barrier to my perfect

A Nav PLAN TO AVOID BAD DEBTs.-A
Georgia contemporary is out in favor Of the
repeal of all laws for the collection of debts.
This, it contends, would place all upon per-
feet equality, and there would be no debts
save debts of honor. There would be no
credit save such as was obtained by means Of
a character for honesty and integrity. "A
mans fair name would be worth something
to him, and he would feel pride in knowing
that he could 60 to any merchant where he
was known and obtain credit and give no lien
save o lien upon bis honesty, no security save
his fair name. Men who now actually take
advantage of the law for the purpose of evad-

Florimond gave to these lines thrilling
power which was not all acting. She felt
them, and before her, in Imagination, lay that
murdered corpse of which she had once spo-
ken to Ralph Eglinton. Itwas impossible for
Ralph not to think Of it, too he shuddered at
the recollection, and the circumstances made
such painful impression on his mind, he re-

no longer float upon the air, and again the
curtain falls amid showers Of bouquets and
thunders of applause. So, rising quickly,
Ralph hastens to her side.
Among that large audience were those
men and women, too-who had beenin all parts
of the world, and heard the finest histrionic
talent of the age, yet even they declared Flo

power and marvellous voice, simply wonder
full and without the capacity Of questioning
whether their highly.trained art-sense was full

hearts and quickened pulse, feeling still the
potent charm of her marvellous impersona-
