tipsy Scotchman making his way home
good folks were vending their way to the
kirk. A little dog pulled the ribbon from
the hand Of a lady who was leading it, and
as il ran away from her, she appealed TO
the first passer-by. asking him to whistle
for the. poodle. Woman" he retorted,
with that solemnity of visage which only
drunken Scotchman can assume. "wo-
man, this is no. a dav for wbistliu'."

A member of the Kentucky Legisla-

recently charged with having deserted
his party. Smarting under the charge,
he sprang to his feet, and said; "Mr.
Speaker, this is the first time that my
fidelity TO the Democratic party has been
questioned. Sir, let me answer to this
base charge by saying, that four years
OF my life were spent on the field ot
blood and carnage to prove my De-

mitted WAS sufficient to establish the

About Q o'clock Tuesday evening
there was fire on the bluffs in Davenport,
corner Of 9th and Perry streets in the resi-
dence of Mr.. J, f. Barnard. The house
was of brick, standing twelve feet above
the level of the street, and three stories
high with basement, and with frame
kitchen in the rear. The Gazette saws the
main roof was burned away, and portion
of the upper floor, but the fire did not
reach the stories beneath. The kitchen
was uninjured, save by water. The furni-
ture on the upper floor was all ruined, but
that in the parlors, dining room, etc., was
removed by neiehbors. The lower stories
were soaked through and through. The
damage will amount to about $1,000.
There is insurance of 81 800 on house, and
81 900 on furniture. The family were all
absent at the time MIR Barnard in Des
Moines, and Mrs. B. and child at the resi-
dence of neighbor. There had been no
fire in the house since morning For more
than an hour before the flames burst forth
there was the scent of burning rags in the
neighbor hood-and probably spontaneous
combustion was the cause, The residence
OF Mr.. w. G. Wadsworth, near by on the
north, was in danger for few moments.
but It's only damage was a scorched cor
nice. Tin roof first and then the water
works, saved it. This is the first fire that
has occurred on the bluffs since the water
works went into operation-and the by
drant streams proved just as effective as
they had previously at several fires below
the bluffs. The hydrants used were 100
to l40 feet above the pumps, yet the
streams otup forty feet above the burning
roof

Fred Hass has two large and valuable
stores. One of them is elegantly fitted up
and rented for five years to Mr.. l. BAN
berger for his large and increasing clothing
trade and will soon be occupied-together
with the rear part cf the second floor for
manufacturing. The other is occupied by
Mr.. Hass for his heavy stove, tin, sheet
iron, plumbing and steamboat repairing
trade. This store has four floors occupied
by Mr.. Hass, the basement, with a fine
floor and perfectly dry, is used for storage
of portion of the large stock he keeps,
such as drain pipe, etc., etc, The next
floor is used for his store, to show stoves,
tin. sheet iron and copper ware, plumbing
goods, gas fixtures, etc, etc, with office in
the rear, presided over by Mr.. Baker, a
faithful and excellent man. The next floor
contains machines for cutting pipe and for
other work at his trade, all run by steam,
and the upper floor is used for storing
sheet iron aud stoves, and other goods re-
CURED to be kept perfectly dry. In the
centre of the building he has a steam Gle

for securing the erection of the seven
stores in that block. for without his efforts
and cooperation the block would not have
been built, He is an enterprising goa
head man-iust such as every town needs
to make business lively His success, too,
shows what energy and well directed eff

The GREAT MEDICAL REFORMATION
The Satanic Theory that preparations
which infame the brain are, in any sense
of the word, remedies, has been overthrown,
and can never be re established. The won
derful effects which have attended the use
of DR.. WALKERS VINEGAR BrTTERs as
an antidote to the causes of disease and a
cure for every controllable ailment, have
demonstrated the utter fallacy of the doc
trine that alcohol is a tonic as we'll as a
stimuant The new and incompatible
vegetable remedy which has superseded
the death draught of rum bitters, is as free
from every Intoxicating element asthe dew
of Heaven, yet see how it is invigorating
the nervous, relieving the bilious, curing
the dyspeptic, purifying the blood of the
scrotulous, strengthening the debilitated,
arresting premature decay, and replacing
dependency and weakness with cheerful
ness and activity. Truly grand medical
revolution is in progress.

TOM HENDERSON VIOLATES HIS WRIT
TEN AND oFT.REPEATED PLEDGE.
How the Rock Island Union Denounced Il

Previous to the late Republican district
convention, and when it began to be appar-
ent that Henderson was playing a secret
and underhanded game to get himself nom.
mated for congress, the Union commenced
a series Of articles denouncing him, by i'm
plication, as "a professional politician !"
IAN office holder :" given to Buncome
speeches and party intrigue; )" not good
man for practical legislation - trained
politician man who has an offensive
record to clear away etc, etc, and that
he was pledged in writing not to be can
date. In one of these articles against
Henderson's nomination, ION the 10th of
August the Union SAID
General Henderson has put himself on
record, both By letter and of-repeated ger
bal declarations, that he Is not a candidate
for congress, and that he neither desires mar
intends to hare anything to do Uith THIS
cdHrass. While Judge [ynde is not
SO well known throughout the district as
some other men named in connection with
the office, that fact is very much in his favor
with large body of voters who see the
necessity Of practical business men in con
gress, rather than old and skilled politi
clans. Judge Lynde has no offensive rec
ord to explain awdy."
According to the Union, Henderson has
proved false to his written and oft,repeat-
ed pledge; disregarded his pledge; proved
himself guilty of falsehood and yet the
Union eats dirt and supports such man.
His offensive record" the Union will
nave chance, ere long, to try and explain
away. Whether it can be done to the sat
s!action Of the people remains to be seen. |
