.At tho foot Of the hill, near the old rcd
min,
Ina quiet, shady spot,
Just peeping through, half hid from view,
Stands little, moss grown cot,
And strsying through the open door,
The suboams play upon the sanded floor,
The easy chair, all patched with care,
Is placed by the old hearth-stone;
With witching gruce, in the old fire
place,
The evergreens are strewn,
And pictures hang on the whitened wall,
And the old clock ticks in the cottage
hall.
More lovely still on the window-sill,
The dew-eyed flowers rest,
While midst the leaves on the moss.
grown caves,
The martin builds her nest,
And all day long the summer breeze
Is whispering love to the bended trees.
Over the door, all covered DER
With sack of dark green baize,
Lies musket old, whose worth is told
In the events of other days;
And the powder-fask, and the hunters
horn
+, Have hung beside it for many q morn. +.
For years have fed with noiseless tread
Like fairy dreams away.
And left in their flight, all shorn of hii
might,
A father, old and gray;
And the soft wind plays with his snow.
white hair,
And the old man sleeps in hiseasy-chair.
Inside the door on the sanded floor,
Light, airy footsteps glide,
And maiden fair, with faxen hair,
Kneels by the old mans side
An old oak wrecked by the angry storm,
While the ivy clings to its tstrembhng form.

Rascalitv in Illinois.

1t looks little bit as though the people
of this state did a good thing last fall in
electing an opposition legislature. The
house investigating committee has pretty
evidently struck a lead by which state
house and penitentiary commissioners and
other high Republican officials will be ex-
posed in a pretty big swindle and divide.
Even the Tribune admits that the commit
tee has apparently turned up something
that ought to have been exposed to the
atmosphere long ago. The committee
reported to the lower house of the legis-
''lature that the allowances for waste,
handling and profit have been nearer
$4,000 than, S250,000, as originally es-
''timated; that some work has been paid
''for twice over; that peLitentiary labor
''has been paid for at the market-price for
free labor; and that there have been
frauds of greater or less proportion run
/ ming through the whole time of the con-
''struction of the building"
And the Times says: "a partnership
between the state house and penitentiary
commissioners has been discovered that
appears to be inimical to the best inter
tests of the state The cut stone for the
new state house was procured from the
"penitentiary, and it as alleged that the
''state paid thirty per cent. more for it
than the same article could be obtained
''for from outside parties. The committee
ION the state house yesterday proposed an
Investigation, which met with considera-
''ble opposition, but was finally ordered,
''The members of the committee think
''they have struck trail that will lead to
''the development Of a job of huge dimen-
'sions. If the statements made in debate
yesterday can be sustained, some of the
state officers deserve retirement to pri-
waite life. if not to the shades of the Joliet
"penitentiary."
In another part of this paper will be
found more in detail the means used to
swindle the state for private benefit and
"divvy."

GIANT Did It Himself.

1t is now known that the President
made the order with his own hand, and
sent it to the Treasury and other depart
ments, directing that the public adver-
Using should be withdrawn from the Re-
publican newspapers which had con-
demned his conduct in. Louisiana; and
that he himself named others to be SUBJ
stituted in their stead which had approved
of military Intervention.
AS Gen. Grant considers the Presiden-
cy personal possession, to be admins
tered for his own interest and at. his own
caprice, this act was consistent With that
theory. 1t also furnishes another illus
tratien of his peculiar devotion to civil
service reform, which figured SO largely in
the annual message, and has been exem-
pliied with so many striking proofs of his
fidelity.

"a Hundred Outrages do not Prove
that the Republicans are in
Maioritv"

Majority"
The Boston advertiser, an old and lead.
ing Republican newspaper, says:
The country has had enough of stand
ing behind Kellogg and upholding his
government. What remains is for con-
gress to do, Let as many investigating
committees as may be necessary go to
New Orleans, but let us have the truth,
and let us act upon that. A hundred out.
RACES do not prove that the Republicans
are in majority. What people want to
know is the result of fair count of the
legal votes. No confidence is to be placed
in the finding Of the returning board 1t
bears fraud on its face. Louisiana has
not truly republican form of government
1t is ruled by returning board Now
the time has come for congress tosact; to
place before the country the facts in such
way that there shall be no suspicion OF
partisanship; to require that the control Of
the state shall be placed where true
count of votes shall show it ought to be
placed, whoever may be counted in; and
restrict the use of the army to its legiti-
mate sphere. If Republican senators and
congressman wish to save the party they
will do so most effectually by showing that
it has no liberation for frauds committed
in its name, and no favors for those who
are guilty of them.

Taxes Enjoined.

Hon. Charles Durham, of Geneseo, was
in attendance on our circuit court to-day,
in the employment of the people Of Mercer
county, to procure an injunction re-
straining the collection of the railroad aid
tax assessed upon the people of that coun-
ty, under the grab-law. One of the beau
ties of Republican legislation in this state
was the enactment of law assessing tax
upon the whole state to pay interest on
bonds issued in aid of railroads, the effect of
which is to make people in counties where
no such bonds were issued help pay the in
terest on bonds issued in other coun-
ties, The law was probably intended as a
precursor to another one compelling the
whole state to pay these debts as well as
the interest The law is evidently uncon-
stitutional and void. At any rate the peo-
pie of Mercer county don't believe in pay
ing other peoples debts, and they will test
the question. Judge Peasants granted
the INDUCTION, and the case will be tried at
some future time When they employed
Mr. Durham they placed their case in first
class hands. The case will be one of gen.
eral public interest

Banking Rules.

A friend who has had considerable ex-
perience in banking. and now thinks he
understands the business thoroughly, de-
sires to give the people the benefit Of the
following rules, which invariably govern
him In his dealings with banks:
IF you have any business with a bank,
put it off until 4 o'clock, or, it possible, a
little later, as it looks more business like to
rush in just as the bank is closing,
Never put stamps on your checks before
you get to the bank, but give the teller two
cents and ask him to lick it and cancel il
for you the teller expects to lick all
stamps, and it is source of disappoint.
ment to him when people insist on doing il
themselves.
In depositing money, try and get it up
side down aud wrong end foremost, so thai
the teller may have little exercise il
Strengthening it out before counting it. Il
is best not to take your bank book with
you, but call at another time to have it en-
tered, you can thus make two trips to the
bank where one would answer.
If check is made payable to your or.
der, be careful not to indorse it before
handing it to the teller, but let him return
it to you and wait while y)u indorse; this
helps pass the time; and is pleasure and
relief to the teller.
You can generally save time when max
ing deposit by counting your money dowr
to the teller, as you can nearly Away.
CONT more speedily and correctly than hi
can.
If you make a deposit of one hundred
dollars and give check for fifty, it is &
coed thing to call frequently at the banl
and ask how your account stands, as i
impresses the officers favorably with YOU
business qualifications
Never keep any record of when you
notes fall due, and then if they are protest
ed censure the bank for not giving you no
tice.
Always date your checks ahead, it is
never-failing sign that you keep good bal
ance in bank, or if you do not wish it gen
orally known that you are doing a goot
business, do not deposit your money unit
about the time you expect your check
will be in.
A strict observance of the foregoing
rules will make your account desirable fo
any bank, and make you general favorit'
with all bank officers.

The Boss Intimidator.
A Washington telegram of the 10th

A Washington telegram of the 10th says:
The great intimidator," as Senator
Schurz called the President the other day, is
still at work. 1t is reported tonight that
the work Of intimidating the press, begun
at New York. is going on vigorously The
Cincinnati Times and a number of other
western newspapers are deprived of gov
er1ment advertising by orders from the
white house. In his annual message the
President said, speaking of this subject of
intimidation, I'm some places colored la
borers were compelled to vote according to
the wishes Of their employers, and there
are too many instances in which, when
these threats were disregarded, they were
remorselessly executed by those who made
them. understand that the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution was made
to prevent this and ike state of things"
People here wonder why the fifteenth
amendment, if it really forbsds ''intimida-
ton" and the deprivation of employment
for refusal of political support, should not
protect the press against intimidation from
the white house.
