a FLORAL CURIosiTY.-A flower has
been recently described by an eye wit
ness nj Constantinoplc which is so great
n rarity that one is apt to treat it rs n
fable, and wait for the confirmation of
ones own eyesight. 1t belongs TO the
narcissus kind OF bulbs, and bears the
botanical name ofophyrs mOuche. There
were three naked flowers on stalk hang
ing on one side; the underneath one
was, fading. while the two others we're in
all their beauty. They represented n
perfect humming bird. The breast Of
bright emerald green is a,complete copy
Of this bird, and the throat, heal, beak,
and eyes are a perfect imitation. The

one might almost say flesh cOiorcd.--

with his Sarah. in Jail, but Sarah was roo
busy with the delirauns trense,as to warrant
the sheriff in fooling away any time on the
old brute. To-day he managed to get up
to the marshals Office. Policeman Brcn-
nan was there. Applequist inquired for
Magistrate Chopper. Brennan kindly in
formed him that he had made mistake
in the stairway, and then kindly aided the
man down stairs. All went we'll enough
until they reached the street. when A. call
ed loudly for policeman, yelled murder,
etc., and said somebody wanted to kill
him. Brennan intimated that he was a
policeman and advised him to be more
quiet, whereupon he yelled worse and
raised a big crowd. Brennan told him to
be quiet or he would lock him up. He
yelled worser, whereupon Brennan, Al:
derman Woodruff and Joe Strahle picked
him up and logged him off, he kicking and
yelling with all his might. He was locked
up. He and Sarah should be kept locked
in separate cells, on the fines they already
owe, until they will agree to leave town
and stay away. And if they then return
they should be immediately jagged as va
grants.

That Handsome Lift"

The Geneseo Republic must have soften
ing of the brain. To reply to The ARGUS, on
the handsome lift" the Union was to get
by the election of three Republican super
yisors in Rock Island 1.-THE same politics as
last year, the Republic says:
That's fact-when We come to con-
slider, it is rather hard to see where the
handsome lift comes in. 1t is highly prob
able that the Republic-though we wouldn' t
swear to it at this late day-was thinking
of Republican victory in the county in
stead of the town. You see yourself how
it might have been, don't you, Col.?'
We can't see the handsome lift" yet.
The Republicans have elected only 7 out
of Is supervisors, and the board has nc
patronage for printers that it does not dis
tribute equally to all the papers in the
county. There's no politics in the board
and no party patronage. That's the wa!
things 60 in the board of supervisors in GU
county.

OF Course He Won't Decline.

Was John Gould ever known to decline
a rance for an office? Not much. The tem-

monopolists who escape taxation if they
can, have got his consent to be used as
their candidate for mayor of Moline, next
Tuesday. He is just the man for them.
We hope, if he shall be elected, that he
will not go back on his written promise to
pay little bill he contracted with our
board Of trade, But we begin to have our
doubts about his election, for we hear that
the people generally are in favor of elect
ing Daniel Wheelock, who was the first
mayor Of Moline, and under whose admin

Sale of Fast Horses.

MIR. Parker Wineman, Of Joliet, well
known to the horse breeders of this and
adjoining states, has been in this city for
the past week taking q look at, and in
spectiDg the trotters belonging to Mr. U.
j. Dnnick. The weather has been 80 bad
that but two days could be allowed them
to speed on the track. Mr.. Wineman is
owner of the noted trotter Sorrell Logan,
formerly, Drury's Logan and has con-
seuted to send him to Davenport this year,
for the benefit of the breeders that they
may improve their trotting stock. and was
therefore compelled to select other trotters
to take his place. Having closely watched
and inspected the movements. and timed
Mr.. Dimick's young Logans," the result
is he has purchased Lady Logan" she
having showed within one second of what
Mr.. Dimick promised she would do. Mr.
Dimick also showed Logan B." greer
horse, and only promised to show at the
rate of 24O, but she beat all their expecta
tons and trotted at the rate Of 2.34, ant
Mr.. Dimick is confident that he could hav
driven the next half mile in l.l6. So wei
pleased was Mr.. Wineman with t hese tw
young horses that he put UP the pric
asked and both horses were shipped t
Joliet to-day-at long price, yet lo'
price for the gait they showed. 1t is nc
altogether improbable, judging from Nj
Wineman's remarks. that he will 500
return in company with another gentl'
man and take away another of Mr.. Din
i ick's favorites.
