waiting for the Verdict

The District investigating Committee are
receiving no end Of disintsrested advice how
to report; but doubtless they will make their
own conclusions from the evidence without
outside Instructions. IL has been given out with
equal positiveness by some Of the press that
they weuld report dead against the District
government, and, again, that they would make
vhItevashiDg report. The inference Is,
averaging these contradictory statements, that
the committee will make fair and impartial
report.

come back to little rocky cove, with
thick woods behind it, where we eat our
lunch.
The place seems made on purpose for
us. There is one fat rock just high
enough for table and near it are low

very messy one, like kind of throne,

In winter our island life is rather
lonely. The water in the harbor begins
to freeze over about Christmas and
then there is no more going to town till
the ice makes a bridge for us.
Sometimes it is seven or eight weeks
before the ice is safe to travel over.
When the ice gets strong, one of the

Illinois Wealth.

The Springfield correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe has been figuring up
the assessment returns from the various
counties, and making tables of compari-
son of the present assessment with that
for former years. The returns from all
the counties have been received by the
Auditor, except those from Madison and
Monroe counties. Taking those at the
figures returned last year, the total as
sessment this year is 81, O93, ITO, 1T,
against 81, 1874, 221, $50 in 1873, being
falling off of over one hundred million
dollars ($100, 451, 374). This is not a
result of shrinkage in values, but of a
generally lower assessment. Neitherof
the totals above mentioned include rail
road property nor the capital stock as
sessments which were made by the State
Board. These items last year amounted
to 1856, 5O7, 532.
BY comparing the returns for the
present year with those of the past five
years, it is found that there has been a
steady increase in the average of corn,
and falling off in that of wheat, until
the present year. The returns did not
give the number of acres in oats until

The Girl and the Kadi.
From DR.. Jessup's "Syrian Home Life.

From DR.. Jessup's "syrian Home Life."l
Once there was very little girl who
bought very little house, and while
she was sweeping it she found a very
little coin. Then she bought little
ddb6s (molasses) and put it on the
shelf; but there came a little fly and
drank it up. So the little girl went to
the Kadi and complained of the little
fly, and said, go Kadi, judge rightly,
or may your eyes be blindedw Then
the Kadi called and said, depart, you
foolish and shameless girl, for you have
spoken impolitely to the Kadi." Said
the little girl, 81 will not go until you
give righteous decision" Then said
the Kadi, "Tell me all your case" So
she began as follows:
g Kadi great, I am very SMALL"
Said he, "'Tis because you are not tall"
GO 0 Kadi, bought little wee house,"
Said he, "Big enough; you are as small as a
mouse!"
go Kadi, swept it with all my might"
Said he, "No doubt it was clean and bright"
=" 0 Kadi, found a coin 80 Vice."
Said he, "'Twill do for the Kadi's fee J"
:" o Kadi, purchased dibbs so sweet; :"
Said ne, For sweet girl that was meet! |"
&C 0 Kadi, placed it on the Shelf"
Said he, s. You were keeping it for yourselfW
go Kadi, the little fly one day
Flew down and cook it all away:
And now I come to plead my cause,
beg you judge her by the laws"
Said he, "Whene'er you see a fly,
bid you smite it till it die"
The Kadi's words were hardly said
When she espied upon his head
little fly, who gravely safe
Upon the Kadi's shaven pate.
So taking the slipper from her foot,
The Kadi's head she iercely smote,
Saying, " Wheneer you see a fly,
i bid you snite it till it dep
The Kadi groaned from smarting pain,
When she her slipper raised again

This Naieb grave now sued for grace,
And said " Whate'er adjons my face
Is mine by heritage and right,
And you've no legal right to smite
But in the noble Kadi's name,
I'll give you justice all the same"
Then filling her hands with shining money,
He sent her home to'eat bread and honey

Mother and Daughter i'm France.

A writer on French Girls says ::
Many girl in France has never slept
outside of her mothers chamber until
she leaves it to be married, and, at the
worst, she is no farther off than the
next room, with the room door open
between. Such unceasing neighbor-
hood brings about an action which may
be not only intellectual and moral but
possibly physical and magnetic, too.
Hence it is that French women exercise
such singular power over their girls
and that the girls so generally become
an exact reproduction of the mother,
under whose constant eye they have
grown to womanhood. Between the
transparent frankness of the child's ma
ture and the interchangeable proximity of
the parent, we get the explanation of
the regular transmission of those types
of character which seem to remain I'M
varied in so many families of the upper
class, and which may almost be said to
belong to them as their names do. The
same qualities and the same defects are
reproduced among the old nobility from
generation to generation. When wife
comes in from another origin, she may
try, perhaps, to introduce new elements :;
but they get effaced, or, at all events,
weakened by the old traditions with
which they have to contend, so that the
main features of the house continue to
be recognizable, the child appropriates
them and hands them off again when
she, IN turn, becomes q mother. b."

A German Family Fatten and Eat a
DOG

We have no doubt but many of our
readers will be shocked at the above
heading, and grow sick at the very
thought of eating dog meat, but who
would, at the same time, sit down to
table and relish the flesh of the swine,
which animal is the filthiest in the en-
tire catalogue.
From neighbor of the family who
live in the western part of the city, and
who live upon the flesh of the canine,
we are told the following:
For some time past German family
have had securely chained a large bull
dog. Every day the animal has been
fed as much as the scanty means Of tie
family would allow. One day last week
the canine was slaughtered and since
then the family has been living high.
The meat of the dog has been carefully
sailed down in order to keep during the
warm weather. The family say that the
husband and father is in good health,
and that he requires this class of food
to give him strength and vitality. But
we are informed tnat poverty is the
real cause. While dogs are 50 numer-
GUS In our city, they are undoubtedly
cheaper than any other kind of meat.

When you Want a hsh or a bit or a Done.
Now, what do YOU say when children are good ?"
And the kittens purred as soft as they could.
"And what do you do when children are bad?
When they tease and pull?" Each kitty looked sad,
Pooh I" said their mother. "That isn't enough :;
You must use your claws when children are rough.
81 And where are your claws? No, no. my dear !"
{As she took up paw. "See! they're hidden
here"
Then all the kittens crowded about,
To see their sharp little claws brought out.
They felt quite sure they should never need
To use such weapOns-oh no, indeed
But their wise mamma gave pussy's "pSbGWw
And boxed their ears with her softest paw.

But every kitten hung down its head.
