ANOTHER LOST STEAMER.
We now have to record the loss

We now have to record the loss
of another of those steamers,
which, like the other unfortunate
ones sometime since, was cut in
two, heightened and her build
altered. The L'Amerique was
exactly the same type as the Vii
lie du Havre and Europe. She
was on her Eastward trp, with
about sixty passengers from New
York. and arrived at Brest on
Tuesday the 14th inst. Leaving
that port for Havre, she had gone
but twenty-six miles when she
struck of the island of Ushant, 4
became a wreck. All her passen
gers and crew were saved by YES
sells in the vicinity, with one ex-
ception, the second officer.
The loss of three steamers with.
in so short a time-two of them
meeting disaster buta few days
apart-is something more than a
mere misfortune. 1t means, Ol
should mean.t total ruin to the line
unless it is completely reorganiz.
ed. If all of the steamers of the
line are of the class of the three
lost-old steamers cut in two
pieced out, and launched under
different names as new vessels
then those who take passage in
them should settle their affairs
before starting and consider them
selves as going into greater dan
ger than braved by soldier who
marches i'm the heat of battle to
the muZzle of the enemy's cannon
loaded with grape shot. We say
nothing of the seamanship of the
commanders of these vessels, fol
that is a matter yet to be investi
gated, but of the character of the
vessels there can be now no dis
pute. The Vile du Havre, Eu
rope and L'Amerique were from
their build nothing but floating
coffins. The patching up of an
old steamer and launching her al
new vessel under another name
is a crime against society if it il
not so designated, as it ought tt
be. on the statute books.

LEGISLATURE ADJ oURNED.

The Democratic Legislature has adj
jsurned. Like the previous Democrat
ic Legislature it accomplished one good
thing--it made the worst Republican
Legislature respectable by comparison.
Last fall when the election returns an
nounced the success Of the Democratic
ticket, the newly elected members at
once pledged themselves to meet at CO.
lumbus at the appointed hour, transact
all their business in a short time and re-
turn to their homes at so early day
as to save the State thousands of dol
lars. 1t was alleged that as the Consti-
tutional Convention was remodelling
that instrument, that it would be use
less for the Assembly, to pass many
laws, which mi ght have to be changed,
No one disputed this. When they as
sembled, the leading Democratic papers
said that all the business could be done
in six weeks. Gov. Allen said the same
thing. At one time they voted to ad-
journ the 9th, of March, every Repub-
lican voting for the adjournment. Then
the Democrats met in Caucus and re-
solved that it was too wintry to go home
yet, and they resolved to stay month
longer in Columbus, and still be home in
time for their spring work. The Demo-
cratic journals shouted to them to ad-
j0urn, but the patriots would not heed.
They continued to enjoy their position
as law-makers,un they had spent one
hundred and six days, nearly four
months. They had all stoutly main
tained that there was no need of a ses-
sion of more than six weeks. They
passed one hundred and twenty general
laws, and sixty-four local laws, and
thirty-eight joint resolutions, after as
suring the public, that the Constitution
III Convention would undo their work.
We leave our readers to make their own
comments.

ASSESSORS STATISTICS.

The Assessor will be making
his annual call in a few days.
Heretofore but little attention
has been paid to the collection OF
statistics. In many instances far
mers have no memorandums to
show the products of their farms
for the previous year. They fill
out the blanks at random. The
result is thatHolmes county does
not make as good showing OF
products in the annual reports as
she should do. Many farmers
cannot disconnect the fear that in
some way this information is to
be used for taxation. Such is not
the fact, and assessors should be
at pains to make thai fact clear.
1t is important that every bush
el of grain raised inHolmes coun-
ty TOR 1873, as well as other farm
products should be properly ac-
counted form order that we may
have full credit for what we do
raise, in the annual reports.

A MURRAY County (Minn. } farmer t.

A MURRAY County Mimi farmer took
novel method of Kidding his wheat
fields of grasshoppers. Making wooden
roller, he loaded it with about a tons
weight of stones and run it over his grain.
As he expressed it, !" l just smashed 'em
right into the ground, grain and all"
A rain coming on Immediately after
brought the grain out all right, but the
hoppers were completely demoralized,
in fact nearly all killed outright; and
none have since been upon his grain
He says he had as good crop OF wheat
as any man in the country-thinks it will
yield not less than twenty-five bushels
per acre. He thinks that wherever grass
hoppers hatch out upon grain they can
be readily disposed of by rolling them
into the ground without injuring the
grain.

CALIFORNIA; BIGGEST NUGGET.-How
much we owe to California! Her pre-
cious metals have enriched thousands of
our fellow-citizens and have proved the
main stay of America in times of nation
al pecuniary embarrassment. Her min
ing industries have given employment to
myriads of mechanics and laborers. She
is the land of promise to the fortune
seeker. But the Golden State has lately
sent us a new treasure. Her last nugget
is DIR. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BITTERs. The healthgivin principles
contained in this curative are more
precious boon than gold. In all affecI
tions of the liver and stomach, remittent
and intermittent feyers, rheumatism and
pulmonary diseases, it may be relied
upon. As blood depurent and invigor-
ant it is unequaled, purifying the circu-
lation and infusing new vigor into the
debilitated frame. It conquers that most
unyielding of all OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
and we know of no other remedy that
can accomplish this. It's entire freedom
from alcoholic spirit, which retards and
neutralizes the effect of any medicine
and which forms the basis of many of
the pseudo bitters and tonics, doubly en-
hances it's value to the sick. The papers
of the United States vie with one another
in doing honor to DR.. Walker. We, too,
add our voice, and say all honor to the
man whose science and skill have en-
abled him to draw from the vegetable
kingdom such a balsam for human suf-
fering.

Saint Patrick's Day,

Justly dear to the heart of every Irish
man all over the world is the 18th of
March-the anniversary of that blessed
saint who introduced the christian religion
into Ireland, and conferred inestimable
blessings on that gem of the ocean. They
have their professions on that day in every
town of any considerable size throughout
the world. 1t is to them a sweet memory
of redemption from semi barbarism to an
era of christianity and intelligence, and
they observe it with pride everywhere-as
they ought to do. Those of them who
have adopted America as their home are
equally enthusiastic in observing our
Fourth of July as the anniversary CT the
declaration of principles dear to the heart
every lover of freedom.
The procession to-day was a fine one and
the programme previously published in
THE ARGUS well carried out. Especially
prominent and numerous were the various
catholic temperance societies which are do
ing so much for the cause of temperance
among our Irish Americans.

Library MeAting.

At special meeting of the Board of
Directors IF the Public Library, held March
10th, lS74-present, Messrs Burial, Nc
Master, Lloyd, Jones. Spencer, Sweeney,
and Gest-the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Resolued, That experience has thus far
demonstrated the usefulness and POPULAR
ty of the Rock Island Public Library and
that, in order to sustain it properly and
meet the just and reasonable expectations
of our citizens, we shall require considera-
BILE more pecuniary aid by subscription or
otherwise, and that we, in view of the gen.
crosby and public spirit of Henry Curtis,
Jr., who has always evinced a peculiar in
terest in the success Of our library, and
now offers, if elected to the Office of collec-
tor OF the city and county taxes, to donate
the net proceeds of said Office, which, we
believe, will amount to the sum of one
thousand dollars, to the Rock Island Pub
lie Library, to be used for the purchase of
books for said library, do hereby earnestly
request and advise our fellow citizens to
support him at the ensuing election for
said office
On motion, the librarian was instructed
not to hereafter enforce Rule No l3, in re-
gard to reinstating persons entitled to the
privileges of the library.
| On motion, S. M. McMaster, Z. w.
Spencer, 2. T. McElherne and NJ. Jones
were appointed a committee to procure
names indorsing the action of the board in
reference to the election of Mr.. Curtis.
On motion, the board adjourned.

The Sinking Saved.

The combination of tonic, Alternative and stimula-
ting properties in Hostetter's Stomach Btters, es
pecialy adapts that famous specific to the cure of
chronic forms of disease, when the strong influence
of long protracted habit is to be surmounted. In
chronic dyspepsia, and liver complaint, and in
chronic constipation ond other obstinate diseases,
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy that
can be taken. As means of restoring the strength
and vital energy of persons who are sinking under
the facilitating effects Of painful disorders, this
standard vegetable invigorant is confessedly I'M
equalled. The permanent tonics included in the
preparation are associated with diffusable stimu
liant absolutely pure, and the tendency of these ell
emens is modified by the presence of Alternative In
gradients slower in their operation and capable OF
producing more lasting local and general effects
For feeble convalescents and in all phases of debili
ty II Is the best as well as the most agreeable of
storatives.
