w VALENTINE.


FOLDED dainty missive,
And called Il a valentine,
And sent It away with Its hidden freight
From this hutterlng heart OF mine.
" Haste, little valentine, hasten,"
l cried, "and carry for me
Whlther my thoughts already are flown
The secret trust to thee.
And so my poor little message
Like q white dove flew away,
AndI watched for its mate to return to me
Ere the close OF another day.
But we grew so weary OF waiting
SO weary, my heart and I
That could not wait for the day TO pass,
SO wearily creptit by.
So went myself for an answer,
And somebody bade me see
II there was not also a valentine
Somewhere awaiting me.
searched the old room over,
In every nook and part,
But my valentine only was found at last
Safe hidden in somebody's heart.

IA CORRESPONDENT of the English Ne
chanic says that he IS used the following
recipe with the greatest success for the
cementing of iron railing tops, iron graf
ings to stoves, etc., and with such effect as
to resist the blows of the sledge hammer:
Take equal parts of sulphur and white
lead with about sixth OF borax incor-
porate the three so as to form one homo
geneous mass. When going to apply II,
wet it with strong sulphuric acid and
place thin layer of it between the two
pieces of iron, which should then be
pressed together. In five days it will be
perfectly dry, all traces of the cement
having vanished, and the iron will have
the appearance Of having been welded to-
gether.

POLICE COURT.
Before e. C. Cropper, Police Magistrate.

\. L. Lyford appeared yesterday morn
ing, the 2ith, at the opening of the Magis-
trate's office, at clock and plead guilty
to an assault on Frank Stewart. He was
fined IS and costs. Lytord is the ticket
agent for the C. II. |. q =. r, r., and
boards at the Harper House Frank has
charge Of the dining room, and, in carry
lug out Mr.. Harper's orders against
boarders flirting with the dining room girls
at the tables and hindcring them in dis
charging their duties, Lyford had taken
a dislike to Frank and sought occasions to
get himin to a fight, which Frank endeavor-
ed to avoid. Wednesday evening Frank was
walking from the billiard room through
the drinking saloon to the hotel, and as he
was passing through Lyford was there, and
he said, There goes the id s--n of
h--h, and repeated it once or twice as
Frank was passing out. Frank paid no
attention to him until he reached the door,
when he turned his head and said, 20, you
go t. HI" Lytoid then ran after him
and Frank ran away as fast as he could
but stumbled over coal hole crate on the
sidewalk and fell, when Lyford Jumped
upon him and commenced to pound him,
Frank begging all the while. Bystanders
intertered and that was the end of the
matter between them. The assault was
wholly unprovoked and without iustifca-
ton. Lyiord has been notified, in writing,
by Mr. Harper, Ia quit the hotel at the
end Of his week board

This Is no new thing. 1t has been the
practice of Grant ever since his New York
collector, Murphy and other office hold
ers, gave him a cottage at Long Branch.
He eau there carouse, drink and carry on
ais debaucheries better than in Washing

must trot down there. His companions
are gamblers, rpues. fast women fast

how to make some money for themselves,

amusements, recreatioDs. are such as no
previous president ever INDUCED in. and
such a. nu subsequent ne ever should in.

Travellers are often deceived by the
name, Western Union Railroad, believing
it to be aroad running west from this city
towards the Pacific. Instances Of this
kind occur at our hotels almost every day
which require explanation A better
name would be the Milwaukee, Racine
4 Rock Island. That would indicate the
terminal points Of the road. 1t is desira-
bic always that roads should be named so
as to indicate this fact
The Rockford, Rock Island Il ST. Louis is
also an inappropriate name for the reason
that that road never run to Rockford and
never will. 1t should be called the Rock
Island Il St Louis, And that portion from
here to Sterling should be called the ''f'ter
ling Branch.
We suggest to these two corporations
to make the changes Indicated 1t would
please the public and benefit the roads.

During the late session Of the Board Of
Supervisors, petitions were presented by
Sup'r SilyiS for license for three persons in
his town to sell liquor. \ motion was
made to refer these petitions to a commit
tee, whcreupon Sap'r Siyis withdrew
them.
The clerk, in makingup the proceedings,
made no report of this fact, as he should
have done, and the petitioners were leftin the
dark as to what became OF their petitions,
except as they learned by inquiry of their
supervisor. An entry should have been
made by the clerk of their presentation
and then the petitioners would have been
informed of the fact through the papers.
The clerk could find time to inject side
remarks of the Chairman into the proceed
Jugs. which had no business on the record
but neglected to note this matter, which
really was a matter of record, and should
have been noticed.
The petitions will probably be presented
again at the September term.

DO ladies' have pockets in the back OF

the grand free lunch given by Aug. Tim,
proprietor of Turner Hall, ou Wells street.
Luppy's band, from Davenport, Is pieces,
discoursed some of the best music ever
heard in this city; and the glee club from
the Davenport Turn Verein gave us some
excellent songs The refreshments were
the best ever offered in tho city. This can
not be doubted, for some Of our nice young

only state that they were some Of those
that had Subscribed from $1,000 to $1,000
Of stock in the Temperance League Stock
Company, and also belongs to one of our
churches besides who have been reform
ed by the crusaders, did more than justice
to the free lunch, which was probably set
out in order to help them save up money
enough to pay their assessments. You
see, supper at hotel costs something, and
if they can sponge their food it will, per-
haps, enable them to pay their share Of
assessment on their capital stock, subscrib-
ed to prosecute the same man upon whose

qirer says:
THE action of the Indiana Democracy

50 completely in the line of the belief of
the great bulk Of the Democratic party
that the Democracy of nearly thirty States
will echo its platform almost as invoIun-
tary as the hillside echoes the song in the
moonlight 1t is six years aud eleven
months to day that the Hon. George ii.
pendleton made the first public annuncla
ton of financial doctrine almost idcnti
cal with that which the Indiana Democra-
cy declared yesterday. In few months
twenty six States will have taken
up the theory and fashioned it into a
creed, and the unostentatious apostle and
herald Of the doctrine whicl. is now at
home in the mouths Of all men can COM
placently rest in the assurance that the
seed was not sown by the wayside, or on
