Once in August, wet and dreary, sat
this writer, weak and weary, bordering
Ger memorandum book of items used
before book of scrawling head notes,
rather items, taking days TO gather, in
hot and sultry weather, (using up much
time and leather pondered we these
items Ger. While we conn'd them slow
ly rocking Through our mind queer
ideas focking) came quick and ner-
vous knocking knocking at the sane
tum door. "Sure that it must be J,nks,"
we muttered-" links that's knocking
at our door Jinks, the everlasting bore"
All, well do we remind us, in the walls
which then confined us, the exchang-
es lay before US, and behind US, and
around all DER the floor Thinks we,
Jinks wants to borrow some newspa-
pers till tomorrow" aud twill be relief
from sorrow to get rid of Jinks the
bore, by opening wide the door, Still
the visitor kept knocking knocking at
the door. And the scattered piles of pa
pers lifted by the breezes coming through
another door; and we wished (the wish
was evil for one deemed always civil }
that Jinks was at the devil, to stay there
evermore; there to find his level Jinks
the never untiring bore! Bracing up
our patience firmer, then without anoth-
er murmur Mr.. Jinks, your pardon
your forgiveness we implore; but the
fact is we were reading of some curious
proceeding, and thus it was unheeding
your loud knocking there before"
Here we opened wide the door. But
phancy now our pheelinks for it wasn't
Jinks, the bore-Jinks, nameless ever
more. But the form that stood before
us, caused trembling to come DER us,
and memory bore us back again to the
days of yore; days when items were in
plenty, and where'er this writer went he
picked up interesting items by the score
Twas the form of our own "deviI," in
an attitude uncivil and he thrust his
head within the open door, with, THE
foreman's out of copy, sir and he says
he wants some more" Yes, like Alex
ander, wanted "more." Now, this " 10
cal " had already walked about till near
ly dead-he had sauntered through the
city till his feet were very sore-walkec
through the street called Dauphin, anc
the byways running off into the portion
of the city both public and secure; ex.

fore-and met with no success he would
rather guess he felt little wicked a
this ugly bore, with his message from tn
foreman that he wanted somethin,
more, " Now, it's time you were depart
ing, you scamp!" cried we, upstarting
"get you back into the oftice-offic,
where you were before or the word
which you have spoken will get you
bones all broken (and we seized cudg

Take your hands out of your pockets

Probate Notices,

ton to the fact that it is the right Of execu-
tors or administrators Of estates to have
their probate advertising done in any news
paper in the county they wish. Several
notices Of this kind have appeared in the
Unson which we have reason to know the
executors and administrators prefer should
have appeared in TIE ARGUS. They
leave the matter with Guyer, the county
Judge, or with Cook, the clerk, and. in the
absence of any directions, they give them
all to the Union. Executors and admin
strators who want their notices published
in THE ARGUS should attend to that mat.
ter themselves, and not leave it to Guyer
or Cooke or to the lawyers employed TIL

it unless executors and administrators viii

The excitement among the fishermen
Of the city yesterday was intense. Ross
Mills was deeply engrossed with a map of
all the deep holes in Rock river; even
before the bank closed, Judge Lynde might
have been seen rushing, fishing rod in
hand. towards the bridge; the stately and
classical George Mixter, with bowed head,
and meditating mien, grasp a dip net
and took Decline for the ferry dock; but
AL Dart of all these notables, with ma
hceous grin sat, on box watching the
workmen on Cap. Robinson's new block.
He the noblest fisherman of them all-6rst
in the slaughter Of CARS and skip-jacks was
the cause Of all this Juror. 1t had been
reported that dray had been employed
to carry the fish he caught that morning
to his house. Now. the fact is we caught
him sliding up back street with a.strine
of jack salmon under his coat. How those
fish grew after he got them home will b

ABOUT CONTRACTION.
How the Volume Of the Currency has
been Increased.

The rag-baby Democrats in Ohio and
Pennsylvania charged, in their soft money
resolutions, that the Republican party had
contracted the volume of our currency.
This is exactly what ought to be done, for
there is too much of the rag-baby stuff al.
ready in circulation. But the Washington
Chronicle says: E $50 {
There is only one year since the Repub-
lican party came into power in which the
official returns showed a contraction, and
then to the extent of only few million
dollars, as the following figures will show.
There is in circulation to-day, of paper
currency, $769, s40,ll9. which, in round
numbers, is
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-09-25

More than, this: the new finance bill
does not provide for contraction. 1t grad
ually withdraws, as the first step, the frac.
tional paper currency, and issues silver
coin in its place. That can easily be &C.
complished, as the currency is now at pal
value with silver, and our minis turned Out
coin during the last fiscal year to the value
of forty three millions of dollars, and viii
double the amount during the present
year.. ~
In fact, the bill, instead Of calling for 6
contraction of currency, really provides fol
an expansion, to a. limited extent only
eighty dollars in legal tenders being retired
for each hundred dollars of bank notes is
sued.
