friends to the Middle Park, 45 miles from
here. We leave tomorrow on pack mules !;
will be gone from here about two weeks.
NV health is just about as it was when
II left Rock Island; no better nor no
worse.
Enclosed Charley sends you two dollars !;
he wants you to send him The WEEKLY

price is two dollars, but if il is more drop
him a line and he says he will remit the

| General Henderson has put himself on
record, both by letter and oft repeated YER

for Congress, and that he neither desires
nor intends to have anything to dc
with this canvass. There
is no man in the district for whom we en-
terrain higher regard than Gen. Hender-
son, and shall cheerfully support him if
nominated. While Lynde is
not 50 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 for practical bust
ness men in Congress, rather than old
aud skilled politicians. Judge Lynde has
no offensive record to explain away - IocL
Island Union, 10TH.
The Union says Henderson is IAN old
and skilled politician and ''has an often
sive record to explain away y that he is
pledged in writing not to be candidate,
but If he falsifes his word, repudates his
promise, lies out and out, there is no man
in the district for whom we 1.-THE Union ed

would pray to be delivered from such high
regard, Aud we should think any man who

hesitate some time before making such a
ninny and greeny of himself as the Union
man has done.

Mrs. Barnard. in the st, Louis Rem,

MrS barnard, IN the 81, Louis Repu6
lican, thus writes about Mrs. Tilton
Its dreadful, and then when one comes
to look at Elizabeth it seems so much
worse. Theodore gives the world the i'm
preston that Mrs. Titon is beauty but
Elizabeth is forty, has had several children,
was never handsome, is shapeess, with a
dull, ordinary face between two rows Of
corkscrew curls, that give school marmy
air to her. She's just the woman, if was
man, that | should go to for a good pat
tern for a flannel undershirt."
This agrees precisely with what those
who have seen her often say of her. She
was in Racine one summer, and those who
saw her Otter, describe her as anything but
attractive. .cShe was intellectual appearing,
literary in her tastes-but there was moth
ing in her personal appearance or manner
to suggest sensual idea, or attract the at
tention of a sensual man. That's what all
say of her who have known her.
