mystery turned up On the South Side few
Gays ago. Inan called at the store Of Fred
El!ers.. corner Mineral and Grove streets and
IN convcreaticn With Eiiers said he Was on his
] Way to see his sister. This sister traded with
Enerr, and lived nesr the g,ue-factory, between
WHICH plnce and the store in question is some
Distance OF comparatively open country. The
map had $500 with him. and did not scrupIe to
make known the fact to all. Some tina after,
Elfers saw the sister, aud made Inquiries about
her brother, when she said she had neither seen
him or heard from him, and did not expect to
see him. Zero the matter has rested. the man
not h,viog turned up, and gun which he left
1t the store to be taken care OF during his visit
to his said aistcr remains still unclaimed.
Whether the fellow il come other girls brother,
Or whether he etrayed and was drowned, or
Whether bis minced flesh has been. nailed down
in trunk, or be he's been on prolonged spree,
4Ta mysteries yet to be unraVeled.
TIE WHISKY CASES.
Borgentha1 and Schlitz we're found guilty on
Thursday morning. TIE CAGE IVES 60 strong
againht them that it was almost impossible they
could escape the verlilct, although their lawyers
surrounded the question with Issues that up
parentlg could not fail to influence tho jury, and
which By many persons were confidently counted
On to insure their dleagrceing. The Govern
ment officials appear 10 he quite confident Of Be-
cua.ng convictlonsin in every one Of the remaining
cases. In this connection, it may be mentioned
that Mr. Moller, the ez-Gauger wlo vas found
guilty Of making false returns, WAS summoned
to the Court By his bcndsnsan, but Immediately
paid in $4,000 in money, aud thus obtained his
liberty. He has since that time given an ap-
proved surety aud withdrawn his money. Tho
general feeling in regard to this display Of
wealth is one OF sincere congratulation that,
with the anything but lavish pay Of 4 Ganger,
hfr- Aoile7 has had the good fortune to saye so
much money. Or that his circumstances 10 life Are
50 easy that ho is practically beyond the want CT
such an Office in future.
TIE 1nocrrAycE OF WORDS.
a rather singular case came up at the County
Board meeting Thursday namely. as to the co11-
dnuance ct tile term Of the County Treasurer.
TIE act passed last session was intended 10
limit tho term Ut tue officer, as generally under
stood ut the time. to Two years, which would
leaSe the election open for his successor in No.
venher, 1876. he having been elected in Novem-
bcr, 1874. The law was designed, according to
the public understanding, to prevent the Treas
hrsT being reelected, but tho wording OF the
act, which was adopted last winter, was, instead
OF that no County Treasurer should be re-elect-
ed, that no such officer should be elected for
succeeding term. As q '' Treasures" cannot be
elected for succeeding term from the very
and that when his term is finished he is no
longer Treasurer, it is held that Rooney, the
present Treasurer, cannot be removed until tho
election after the expiring OF his term, namely,
November, 1877. ana thatunder this law be holds
over Tor ono year. THIS is the argument Of cor
tain parties, but Low it ID deduced from the
premises is hard to be seen. I feel modestiy
conscious of having invested tho case With as
much pe1plexity as possible.
YOUNG A.1En1cA.
Judging by many Of the hopefuls around US, q
class Of youngsters is growing up that Will out
shine Satan in impish tricks cool effrontery, and
easy yice. Little Seventh Ward boys will stand
on their papas' sit-odgcd lawns and pelt passers-
by with rutten potatoes, or lounge against the
gates and swear On general principles, and stare 1T
one and talk back 1t ono, or make rea1 ks shout
one, OF voluntarily tilllugegate oue without the
slightest pruEocaton. AS for the manners, and
Aud afcctatlon uudeTll tongues OF
the little g1ris, the least said the better More
spanking and less candy is remedy which will
hare to bo triod if VIC do not desire to sac the
next. generation raca far worse tlan the
present. Here is the 1atest item OF tbs Kind TAX
