The Tenneseans,

A dense audience of our best people
greeted these sweet singers last night
Their simple harmonies have an irresisti-
| bic charm to the masses, and the earnest
religious tone which pervades all their
pieces affects every audience. Some of
their drolleries are provocative of much
mirth, but not bit Of derision while the
grander pieces bring tears to many eyes.
TO us the grandest piece of all, was Reign,
Massa Jesus, and its encore was remark
able-nOt bit of boisterousness, but a
solemn, solid, not loud but determined 1oll.
That sound. rarely ever heard in concert
rooms, was, to such a song, evidence of a fix
ed religious feeling in the audience Near
ly everything was good. Their chorusses
were very fine, while some Of the voices
are peculiarly rich in tones of feeling and
ferVor, the pIaintive tones bringing tears in
many eyes Among the gems of the eve
ming were THE Old Cabin Home" solo
and chorus by Miss Lizzie Ewing, a
fine voice and an effective singer, though
suffering with little hoarseness, from a
cold and The Old Boat" also solo and
chorus, by Miss Belle Sayles. Few swee-
ter voices than hers can be found in any
country, the feeling tones of which COM
handed universal admiration.
They are all very modest and unobtrus-
sive, which, as a general thing, is proper
but in pieces requiring acting they would
do well to catch little more Of the spirit
of Miss Callie Pickett. the bright Is years
old girl who does the piano work and sings
and acts with great effect Let yourselves

They sing in Wheelock's hall, Moline,

They will return to the Harper House to-
night and go to Monmouth tomorrow.

CHAMPION BoAT.-John Goodman. as
all our sportsmen know, is we'll posted in
the qualities of a perfect boat, and sub
stimulates this fact by recently purchasing
from Mark Phelps, of Quincy, the builder
of all the champion boats on the Mississip

saw in these waters. 1t is so light that
two can easily carry it,yet is strong enough
for all ordinary work and will carry from

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.

THE Blood is the Life " When this
source is corrupted, the painful and sor-
row producing effects are visible in many
shapes. The multifarious forms in which
it manifests itself, would form subjects
upon which might write volumes. But
as all the varied forms of disease which
depend upon bad blood are cured, or best
treated, by such medicines as take up from
this fluid and excrete from the system the
noxious elements, it is not of practical inn
portance that should describe each. For
instance medical authors describe about
fifty varieties of skin disease, but as they
all require for their cure very similar treat

just what name to apply to a certain form
of skin disease, SO You know how best t.

ILLINOIS CITY, Ill.,. April 20, 1874

ILLINOIS CITY, ILL.,. April 20, 1874.
To the Editors of the Rock Island Argus:
AS we in the lower end of the county
are considered by good many to be al
most out of the world-or at least out of
county, perhaps line in regard to the Pa
irons of Husbandry would be news, to
members at least Every Grange that
was organized, last year or this, in this part
of the county,is on its feet and in good run
ming order,-no prospect of giving up as
was predicted by some. New members
are coming every month. Illinois City
Grange initiated nine in the First Degree
last week,-and more to come in next
week, North Buffalo Prairie Grange held
an open meeting on the 18th inst The
hall was crowded; good speeches made by
Mr.. Hoops and Mr.. Howe, of Muscatine
county, Iowa; also short speech by j..

County Council 7. of lei. has started an ag-
ricultural store, and is selling implements
at prices much lower than can be had at
any of the other shops in town.
This store will be well patronized by the
Oranges from this side, if we can succeed
in getting the present ferry, or some 9th
err to run regularly and to charge rea-
sonable rate for ferriage. The present
company has been in the habit of running
just as they please, and charging as much
as they please They charge IS cents for
a team, over and back the same day, but
if compelled to remain all night then IS
cents each way No boat ON the river that
we know of runs so in defiance of law and
of the public good as this Muscatine Ferry.
The P. of III. of this end of Rock Isl
land county and Muscatine county, Iowa,
have concluded to see if they can find a
remedy for this state of things A petit
ton, addressed to our Board of Su-
pervisors, asking them to compel this Mus
catine Ferry to run according, to law, or re-
woke their license and license some one who
will do SO, has been signed by nearly every
man in Drury and Buffalo Prairie town
ships, and will be presented to our new
Board at its next meeting, from which we
ask favorable and prompt consideration
in the interests of an abused community.

absentees being j. L, Perkins, of Cordova

bleness of uniformity in assessments, or
motion Of Mr. Drury. the meeting adjourn
ed to o'clock p NJ.
In the afternoon the meeting, with grea
unanimity, agreed upon basis for assess
ments throughout the county, and tn
Assessors who were not present can lear
what that basis is by calling on the count,
clerk. OF course the figures are not arbi
trary-they are simply the best judgement o
the members as to what should be done
For farming lands the figure agreed on i
for the best farming lands, but the averag
will, Of course, be much below. In regar
to animals the figures will probably b
about the average-any very superior ami
mails should be assessed higher, and yer
poor ones lower, The sum fixed for sew
ing machines means a good machine
there are many which should be less tina
the sum fixed. And the same may
said of other property A good deal mus
be left to the judgement of the Assessor:
but upon most things there can be yer
nearly a uniformity. The meeting will d
good, and with a desire on the part of a
to conform to its spirit more uniforr
assessment than usual will probably b
