On the 18th of last month, sympathet-
ic jury fined Deputy Marshal kimball $95
and costs because he compelled Mrs
Greim to desist from her efforts to rescue
a prisoner from his custody. Mr. kimbalI
appealed the case to the circuit court, and
this morning it was dismissed at the IN
stance of States Attorney Parmenter, as
it ought to have been. The truth is that
Mrs, Greim ought to be punished for in
terlering with an officer in the discharge OF
his duty If there is any fault to be found
with kimballs action in the case it is that
he didn't take Mrs Greim to jail and lock
her up at the time. The result of this suit
is pretty pointed eensure on a jury that
undertakes to make law instead of enforc-
ing law and order and sustaining officers
in the discharge of their duty.

BRUTAL RAPE UPON A YOUNG GIRL.
Lyncb'ng too Mild Punishment for the
Crime.

A reporter for THE ARGUS, while in
Cordova yesterday, learned some particu
lars of most shocking case of the viola
ton of a young GIRL only II years of age.
The story is that on Tuesday of last week,
frail and delicate girl of some II years of
age, the daughter Of Mr.. James W. Mat.
| thews, living about miles from Albany, was
going home from school, about o'clock
in the afternoon, and when passing along
the road, through a small piece of timber,
she saw man standing or leaning against
tree. He stepped out into the road in
| front of her and asked her if she wanted
to hire out to service. She replied that
she did not she was attending school.
She attempted to pass along, but he de-
tanned her by taking out pocket book and
showing her some pictures of partly nude
females, and asking her if she knew any
girls who looked like those pictures who
wanted situations. She was then alarmed
and attempted to run, when he seized her
aud commenced dragging her out into the
brush. She screamed, but he held her
mouth. and then commenced fearful and
desperate struggle on the part Of the little
girl, which lasted for long time, and end
ed only when the brute desisted. The cir |
was ruptured and probably ruined for life
She reacheda house not far from the scene
of the horrible crime, and an alarm was
soon given and efforts made to find the
tiend 10 human form. The place where
the struggle took place was examined and
the ground had the appearance produced
by the tramping of horses feet which
had been hitched to a tree over night. \
man was arrested in Clinton on Nom "
who is believed to be the person who com
mitted the crime. The law is too slow aud
too uncertain to protect young girls from
such fiends, aud the best way is to hang
them at once. when the crime is fully aud
surely proven upon them. No other course
will hold that class of creatures in check,
and protect school children from ruin

"Not Very Well"

feeling of vague bodily discomfort, which does
not amount to positive illness and yet is incompat
ible with health, is often aptly described by the
phrase, Not very we'll" This feeling usually
arises from deficiency of the nervous power
which is required to keep the vital machinery IN
vigorous and healthful operation. Nervous weak
ness has too frequently turned out to be the pre-
lnde of some serious malady to admit OF any doubt
in the matter. Inactivity OF the bodily functions
as surely begets their arrangement as cause pre-
cedes effect
1t is therefore absolutely essential for the preser
walton of health perhaps of life itself, that this
warning should be promptly needed. The case
does not admit Of delay. Reyitalize The system at
once and effectually with Hos ietter's Biters-that
peerless invigoraDt which, by nfusing new health
and strength into the system. protects it against
disease more surely than ever knight OF old was
protected by armor of proof against the foe.

What Shall be Done With the Wrecked
Church Buildingl

} large committee of first class stone
and brick masons, and carpenters, are at
work examining the wrecked Presbyterian
church building and consulting as to what
is best to be done. Their reports are not
all in yet, and the church society cannot,
therefore, determine on the best course to
pursue. If the foundation and the lower
portion of the walls of the old building are
good and sufficient for building upon it
would probably save the society twelve or
fifteen thousand dollars to rebuild on the
came ground. If they are not, then a new
lot may be secured aud an entire new
church erected. 1t is probable, however,
if the foundation and lower walls are good,
that the society will rebuild on the old
site Take down that ugly looking bellfry,
take out the old windows, remove those
high aud unsightly stone steps. and then a
very neat church could be made of the old
one, with a tasteful bellfry, and gothic
roof, which would be strong and safe. 1t
would be better, also, to have only two or
three steps outside of the house, leading to
a broad landing, and the balance of the
steps inside, secure from snow and ice, and
pleasanter in every ether respect. An
addition in the rear sufficiently large for
organ, choir and pulpit, would give per
hans one-fourth more room f,r seats and
make very fine house. This would, with
out doubt, be the most economical course,
and perhaps the best The reports of the
builders and architects examining the
work must be considered first, With live
ly work the walls and roof might be con-
pleted before freezing weather comes, and.
after it shall be enclosed finish it during
the winter.

ment was aVerted'
The above is from the Rock Island re.
porter OF the Davenport Gazette, in refer
once to the threat of our fire department to
disband The author of it should be a
little more careful of his words. He
speaks of the malicious discussion that
has been carried on through communica-
tons to the ne'espapers,' &C., &c. He
should have said ITO the Union, as there
has been no discussion of the matter in
and other paper here. He then speaks of
'the action of the city council at their last
meeting" The council took no action
whatever at the last meeting or at any
other meeting since the 10th of August
when they voted not to purchase hook
and ladder apparatus,
On some accounts it is desirable that
the present fire department shall disband,
in order that the council may get up new
organization, on an improved plan, and ex-
clude some persons now in the department
who are not credit 70 it or to the city. A
large majority of the men are all right un-
der proper organization, but, if we are
rightfully informed, there is a rowdy and
unprincipled element (perhaps 1t is
very smaln in the department that
should be weeded out. By request of
good citizens, TIE ARGUS called atten-
ton to this fact, some months ago, and it
might have been remedied, if the council
or the fire department had the moral
courage to undertake the job of reform.
But neither had and even good men in
the department foolishly talked about at
tacks on the department, and thus they
became a screen for those who should have
been exposed and expelled. The good
men should have demanded an investiga-
ton, and, if facts warranted it, the expul-
sion of all unworthy persons. Not doing
so they took part of the odium upon them
selves--to the great relief of the rowdies,
No fire department can be respected under
such management.
| Should the present organization disband,
| it would then be we'll for the council TO APP
point a first class man to raise company
for each hose cart, of suitable and good
men, and submit their names to the coun-
Gil for consideration and action, and thus
be rid of some persons who should never
have been permitted in the department.
And them in case of improper conduct, ex-
animation of the charges should be made
by the Committee on Fire and water, and
punishment meeted out by the council
Some plan of that sort, by which the coun-
Gil shall have a controlling voice as to the
admission, expulsion, or punishment of
its members, would protect the department
| from an element which it does not seem to
possess sufficient self respect to protect it
self; and would give us reputable and
efficient body of men on whom to depend
| for protection in case of fire.

Then. Y. World has a lengthy notice
of the private professional and political lite
of Hon. S. j. Iilden. the Democratic candi-
date for governor in New York, from which
VIC clip the following:
In 1855, when he was the Democratic
nominee tor attorney general, the adyo-
Gates of prohibition were newly in the
field, and at the solicitation of John Tay-
lor and Andrew Kirk, Mr.. Tildcn wrote a
letter, afterwards printed as a campaign
document explaining his position in re-.
gard to c0ercive legislation-a position
which, as he said, he had not hurriedly "a
ken, and which he has not since lett. He
denounced the prohibition laws as an ut
terly unconstitutional as well as an utterly
futile means towards high ends of Sobriety
and good morals and means which the
Democratic party had always and must al
WAYS reject as a violation of constitutional
guarantees and of sound principles OF leg
islati0n, an invasion of the righttul domain
of individual Judgment aud conscience,
and a step toward that barbarian age when
the wages of labor, the prices of cOmmo-
dities, a man food and clothing, were die
tated TO him by government calling itself
paternal. One paragraph of this letter, in
which Mr.. Tilden sounded too-little-heed-
ed uote of warning, may be fifty quoted /:
