A HOUSEHOLD NEcEssITY,-If our

place for it on their sideboard or shelf at

all the aches. SPANS and ills that the human
frame is heir to, there is no medicine sold
that excels, if it equals this popular pain

CLOSING EXERCISES OF Angus
TANA COLLEGE.
a BRILLIANT ILLuA61NATIoN.
A Pleasant Evenings Entertainment

The ARGUS. gave pretty full notice of
the proceedings at Augustana College yes
terday, up TO the hour for our paper to 90
to press. In the evening there was large
attendance, and the buildings and grounds
were brilliantly illuminated with Chinese
lanterns. The spectacle from Rock Island
Arsenal, and from the bluffs, over the
river, was very imposing. The college
building was in blaze of light, each win
dow seemed blazing star, and from the
tiers of light the form of the cross was
plainly visible.
Oyer the main entrance in large illumi-
mated letters, were the words: Angus
tana Theological Seminary" and under
this the Illuminated words: ''Springfeld,
Paxton, Rock Island, indicating that the
institution was originally started at Spring
field, then moved to Paxton, and now, it is
hoped, permanently located at Rock Island.
Over the side entrances were also ap.
propriate notices in Swede and English
illuminated, and tastefully arranged fol
good effect. The halls and rooms were
also tastefully decorated and crowded with
fine looking, well dressed men, and charm
ingly beautiful women and girls.
Early in the evening there was some fine
music in the chapel by 1.-THE Augustan;
Silver Cornet band of twelve performers
all students Of the college, led by Mr.. G
j. E. Harterius. Also some choice voca
music by the college choir, composed o
twenty-four students. and led by Mr.. j
P. Neander.
At 8 O'Clock there was preaching by tn,
Rev. G. A. Ewald, of Chicago, in tn,
chapel, to very large audience.
The Rev. DR.. Hasselquist, the yenera
Bile president of the institution, intended
to make some remarks, but a severe cold
contracted while Oh the stand on tn
Heights, yesterday, prevented him from
speaking. There were many who wantet
to hear him.
Music followed, then prayer, then NOR,
music.
The Moline Lutheran choir rendered
good service at the dedication.
And Miss Hannah Hasselquist, daughte
of the president, was indispensable at thu
organ.
The band performed in an admirable
manner, Home, sweet home"
This closed the evenings entertainment
and the people retired, happy in the event
of the day, which passed so pleasantly, ant
with nothing to mar its harmony.
With able fnanciers, and accomplished
and wise teachers, Augustana Colleg,
will become a great and prosperous ant
useful institution. THE ARGUS wishes
every possible success, and will ever b
found encouraging it, within the sphere o
its legitimate duties.

A Cigarette.

Probably no profession. no set of men, is
so hard beset with government nets. toll,
and pitfalls, as the cigar maker. Nothing
they do seems right, and whichever was

impost. Uncle Sa mmust evidently take
every cigar maker for a rogue, and,
therefore sets bigger rogues to watch them
Is there anything about the aroma of tobac-
co incentive to iniquity? Is Lone Jack a
bigger highwayman than Jack Sheppard,
or Flora del fuma fiorescent with felony ?
We do not belive it. We know several cigar
makers and dare trust them without a
previous counting Of spoons. Yet simply
marking is not sufficient to protect our
honest and immaculate government from
robbery, and every cigar maker has to be
branded. Burnt here, registered there, stuck
all over with paper ribbons like country

bungling, agglomerated complication on
veXatious stamps, taxes, duties and imposts
as are crowded upon poor tobacconist, was

taxed the land to give it unto Pharaoh

The earliest travelling menageries

whereupon Wombwell, not to be outdone,

The only dead elephant in the fair.

man had seen a dead one, and conse-

From the same authority, writing of Van

that the den containing the wild beasts
occupied the whole breadth of the stage
in the theater; the strength of the com

OId Maids

A writer on maiden ladies says: It
cannot have escaped remark that to
many minds in many cases it is consid-l
cred sufficient to condemn cause to
say that it is promoted by "a lot Of old
maids. Sometimes they are strong
minded females;" at others blues"
but it you want to cover them with ine-
radicable ridicule, dub them "a bevy of
old maids" or throw in the male friends
who assist them in the promotion OF
their philanthropic or charitable objects,
and facetiously term the whole "a parcel
of old women of both sexes" aud your
end is at once accomplished. Why
this should be so we were never
able to understand. Age is surely
as honorable in a woman as in a
man. Celibacy can be no more worthy
censure in the one sex than in the other.
If it be, indeed the men are in the worst
predicament; for it 80 happens that in
Great Britain there are half million
more women than men, so that the ladies
could not all get married if they would,
Nor are the professed misogynists at all
consistent in the bestowal of their ridi-
cule. Let q persevering band Of spin
sters strive to break down the wall of
prejudice which bars. their entrance to
the suitable and honorable profession of
medicine, for the purpose OF alleviating
the ailments of their own SEX and no
terms of obliquy are thought too dis
courteous to apply to them. Let Miss
Nightingale go out to Scutari to bind
up the wounds and attend to the sick
wants Of soldiers brought fresh from the
battle field and she is a heroine. The
woman as nurse may be deifed, as ply
sician she cannot be tolerated. Let wo-
men strive to enter our universities, the
so-cslled nurseries of belles-lettres and
the arts, and they 'unsex themselves, "
yet who think of "old maids" as they
read the novels of Miss Austin or admire
the pictures of Rosa Bonheur2 Let them
seek to obtain the right to vote for wild
ows and spinsters who have the same
qualification and fulfill the same State
duties as men, and politicians are aghast.
