A Stray Dog.

Ifanybody has seen a black
and>tan dog. answering to the
name of Judge" going down
the street in company with a
hardsheli turtle that won't an
swer to anything,and certainly
won't answer to tackle, as the
dog can tell You if you can get
him to stop long enough, please
halt the eloping pair, as they
are the property OF the editor of
this paper. We are fondly at
tached to the dog on account
of his vagabondish, Bohemian
ish habits. He knows every
dog in Peoria by name, and is
on speaking terms with mines
tenths of the granger dogs that
come in under-the wagons, and
he knows more of the inhabit-
ants of this city than the tax
collector does. The turtle is a
more recent acquisition. 1t
was placed in the back yard
Yesterday, and the dog spent
an hour and a halt trying to en-
tice it to come out of its shell
and be sociable. The old irons
clad maintained it's reserve,
however, until the dog cram
med his nose against the for
ward part and began to sniff.
The pair seemed to come to
some understanding at once,
for the dog made an impetueus
remark on a very high key, and
they both started immediately
on a trip after Donaldson's
balloon. When the dog jumped
over Fishers barn, we thought
he had struck the eastern cur
ent and would go right through,
but we learn since that he
landed and was seen saunterlng
along like a whirlwind, tue
turtle staying right by him.
We should be very sorry to
loose the dog now, as he has
acquired another important and
valuable quality. = He knows
more about turtles than any
other dog in the country, and
it's mighty hard to find a real
good turtle dog.-Peoria Re

4 KISS NE FOR MY LIZZIE /"

Colonel Christie, of Ncrth Carolina, was

led before his wife could reach him. His
ast words were, kiss me for my Lizzie''l

Throw the window open wide,
Is she coming oh I love her
More than all the world beside.
In her young and tender beauty,
Must, oh! must she feel this loss!
Saviour, hear my poor petition,
Teach her how 10 bear this cross.
All the evening dews are falling;
I am cold, the light is gone.
Is she coming softly, softly,
Comes deaths silent footsteps on;
lam going, come and kiss ne;
Kiss me for my darling wife;
Take for her my parting blessing,
Take the last warm kiss of life.
Surely ere the daylight dieth,
4. will fold her to my heart;
With her head upon my bosom,
Calmly could sink to rest.

Look I! l think she's coming now;

On my faded cheek and brow.

Feel her breath upon my check;

Is she coming, did she speak
No; well, draw the curtain softly.

Till see it smiling ON me
On that bright and better shore
Tell her she must come and meet lne
In that Eden land of light;
Tell her Ill be waiting for her,
Where there is no death-no night.
Tell her that called her darling
Blessed her with my dying breath;
Come and kiss me for my Lizzie,
Tell her love outliyeth death.

"GoING Too FAsT."-A friend
of ours talking of tue panic sasys:
1--WE have been going altogether
too fast; we, as a people, need just
the lesson we are learning and are
likely to learn before the panic is
over.' He said truly. We have
been going entirely too fast. We
are the most wastefnl and extrav-
agant nation on the footstool. We
ignore economy in little things.
We do not work if we can help it.;
if we do we work that we may
spend more than we can get with
out work but we do not work il
we can get what we want without
it. As people we know scarcely
anything about the first principles
of economy. In cookin ;, eating.
drinking, clothing ours Ives, con-
Quoting our farms, workshops,
stores, &C., we may economize
where it is not economy to do SO,
and neglect to economize where
we ought to. Self-nenial is one ol
the ggeatlessons we have to learn
Whatever teaches us to do it will
in the end, be a mercy to us, nc
matter how severe the discipline
may be. -

NEWSPAPER "BEATs."- We
suppose there must be, at the
most modest calculation, be-
tween fifteen hundred and two
thousand persons in this vicini-
ty who get their newspaper
reading for nothing. including
the unconsciOnable individuals
who steal papers from other
peoples doors, or borrow from
their neighbors, or loaf around
where a newspaper is subscrlb-
ed for, and paid Tor, and mons
opolize it to the exlusi0n of the
rightful owner. We have had
several subscribers stop their
subscriptions, for no fault of
our carriers, as they admitted,
in nondelivery, but because
their papers, after being deliv>
cred, were taken by some indi~
vidual, as short of conscience
as of cash, who would take
possession of it. Thus, a news
paper, which ought to be well
supported By a community for
the general good it does to that
community, is made to support
the town, in Il Eeasi,re-ihat is,
it is expected to live without
resources, and to advertise the
life aud business OF d town
without the support which is
requisite to enable it to keep
up to a metropolitan standard
OF excellence. An individual
should blush to read Il paper
habitually which another iadi>
vilual pays for. There are too
many people who read papers
which they do not pay fer, and
this is for their eyes especially,
with the purpose OF soaring
their conscience, il they have
any, and for the purpose of ap>
pealing to those who do subs
scribe and pay for newspapers,
to keep them fled and not per
nit them to so ont OF their pos
session, in Justice to themselves
as well us to the printer whose
capital and labor are invested
in "a business which serves to
advertise the commercial status
ofa city in proportion to the
the enterprise its substantial
patronage enables it to display.

The New Haven Palladium
relates an incident which it
states occurred on the Western
road near Worcester, several
years since: can old man had
been in town on business, and,
imbibing pretty freely, was re-
turning home in the evening in
his wagon and, losing his reck-
oning, permitted his horse to
take the railroad track. jog
ging along leisurly it was not
long before a train of cars over
took him, and the locomotive
striking the wagon sent the old
man "fuking" and killed the
horse, without, however, injur-
ing the man. The train was
stopped, and the conductor re-
turned to ascertain the damage.
AS he approached the scene OF
the accident, he inquired OF the
old man if he was hurt much.
"Hurta" be replied, "No, but
I'd like to know what in thun-
der you are running your
blarsted old cars on the turn
pike tor!' y

To comprehend a mans life
it is necessary to know not
merely what he does, but also
what he purposely leaves nn>
done. There is a limit to the
work that can be got out OF a

wastes no energy on pursuits

LIQUID GLuE-The farmer
often requires glue in mending
wood work. The Druggists
Circular" tells how easily it
can be made:
IAN excellent liquid glue
can be made by dissolving
glue in nitric ether. This ether
only takes up a certain guam
tity Of glue, so that there is no
danger Of the solution bel :
too concentrated. The glue
obtained in this way can be
made to have the consistency
OF molasses, and its tenacity
is said to be twice that dissolv-
ed in hot water, A few pieces
Of India rubber Of the size of
a bullet put into the glue and
well shaken will dissolve in a
few days, and add to the ad-
hesiveness of the preparation,
as well as protect it from the
action of the moisture"

The religious services which are being
held this week in the Presbyterian Church,
Prytania street and the NJ. E. Church, Lou
siana Avenue, are a complete success, if
large congregations, breathless attention,
deep seriousness, and a seeming determine
ton to live according to the instruction
given, may be called success. The preach
ers on Monday evening We're Rev. S. A. Hay
den and DR.. Harris, and on Tuesday Rev.
NJ W. Trawick and Rev. d. j. Mathews.
The sermons were characterized by direct
ness, solemnity, freedom from mere dogma,
Scripture illustrations, and great persuasive
earnestness, while the speakers regarded the
apostolic monition, using great plaianess
OF speech Under these circumstances it
is only natural that the interest should in
crease instead of being diminished, and as
the meetings will continue, we hope the
churches Will become more crowded than
ever.

"A GRAND POLITICAL DINNER

There was big dinner given i few days
ago, "a grand political dinner" at that
famous resort tor wire pullers and plotters
the Cosmopolitan Restaurant. Among the
guests were Packard, Casey, Norton, and a
host of lesser lights in the Republican
ranks.
1t was 4 peculiar and somewhat sugges-
tive fact that were was not a colored person
present, and hence there was nothing to
mar the serenity of the occasion, no Niger
in the fence to create dissension.
The reason why this dinner was given, and
the peculiar significance thereof, will be bet
ter understood when it is known that anon.
the tcasts offered were the following: "To
the next Governor Of Louisiana, S. B. Pack
ard-the brains of the party in this State
Drunk standing and in silence. "To James
L. Casey, the next Senator from Louisiana,
whose kilograms have mraortalizcd him and
saved the party drunk amid cheers and
congratulations.
After the tumult had somewhat sub
sided, and the future Governor and
the next senator Hau shaken HanHS'
and assumed, III advance. the dignity at
taching to their offices, one Of the
orators present delivered a glowing enlogy
upon the mastery manner III which " Boss
Packard hal conducted the campaign, and
borne Kellogg and the Radical party Of the
State upon his massive shoulders, Ike
another .Eneas, from impending ruin to
safety. He declared that but for the bold
ness, skill and nntiring energy Of the BOSS, "
the entire Kellogg machinery would have
gone to that classic abode known to the
ancients as Hades. and to the moderns as
the place ..where the woodbine twineth.'
There was the utmost hilarity and good
humor evlnced. and it seemed to be re
garded as settled fact that the Louisiana
question was as dead as :. Marley" and that
Carpenters bill was absolutely defunct.
The manner by which all this was accom-
plished was talked over in whispers, but
from the frequent glances at and illusions
to Col. Casey, it was inferred that his Sena-
torial aspirations had something to do with
