ALEDo, Aug. 1s, 10 O'Clock, p. N.
have Just returned from the sixth of
the series of LECTURES under the auspices of
the Normal Institute, and as my letter
must be mailed tonight, have but little
time to give more than very brief notice
of the lecture, which was delivered by
Prof, Standish Of Hubbard College, Gales
burg. A large audience, not so large as
that which welcomed Miss Lovejoy, was in
attendance, and that they were deeply in
terested was quite evident from the close
attention, and notable stiffness, indicative
Of absorbing interest. The subject, The
Battle of Life" was handled in mastery
and scholarly manner, and the lecture
abounded in many good things, some Of
which were decidedly original, and showing
profound thought. The next lecture of the
course will be by /. n Bassett, Esq. of Aledo,
on Tuesday evening next, to be followed on
Thursday by Hon. s. NJ. Etter The lee
ture and readings of Miss Sophie Loyejoy,
gave such universal satisfaction, not un-
mixed with pleasure, that there is consid-
cradle talk Of trying to induce her to ap.
pear again before taking her departure,

A SEASIDE TRAGEDY.
The Sad Results of Using Patent Bath
lighthouses.
From tie Ns,c Orleans picayune.

A narrowing story comes to us from one
of our seaside watering places. Old Mr..
Grampus was in Paris last spring, and he
brought home with him one of Baptiste's
patent bath-hOuses. 1t was made of vul-
canized silk with stee! ribs, and it shut
aud opened by ii spring. ., en-, it had
tue appearance Of beautiful blue and
buff striped pavilion, Octagonal in shape,
and covering superficial area of some
ninety or d hundred square feet. Shut up,
it looked like huge Brobdingnagian un-
brella, though, being very light, Mr..
Grampus could carry it to the beach as
easily as he did his camp stool The
GraInpuses were very proud of this bath
house. They used to take it down to the
most crowded point on the sands and
Haunt it in the faces of their rivals. 1t at
ioIded to Mrs. Grampus and the Miss
Grampuses satisfaction more ecstatic
than they had ever known before to
emerge from this gorgeous edifice just as
those odious Nlillers came sncaking out of
their dingy old wooden huts under the
cliff. The crowd gazed at them with envy
and admiration, while they either piied
or ignored the Millcrs. Baptiste's patent
bath-hOuse was an object of respectful
amaZement to the whole carayansary, and
the Grampuses came in for no little So
cal eminence and superiority in conse-
qucnce.
This sort of thing went on smoothly for
fortnight or So, until the Milers and the
.jOneses and the Snagsbys were absolutely
on the point of leaving Joliemer for sheer
mortifcati"D, And perhaps they would
have gone the very next day but for thu
singular adytn which little Blinker

clock; the beach had been crowded f., al
hour CT more, aud as usual the cebire of
attraction and OF interest was the Gram
pus bath-h They had lately embel-
lished this beautiful structure with pair
of golden horns and silk centennial flag,
and 10 the eyes of the unhappy MiIlers it
looked more insolent and gaUdy and over
whelming than ever. The Grampus ladies
had been inside for aquarter of an hour or
so,and the spectators conjectured, rightly as
it aiterward transpired, that they were al
most ready for the surf, wheH all Of q sud
den little .Blinkers was seen descending
one of the winding paths astride particu-
larly contumacious and eyil-minded DON
key. His agonized cries and expostula-
tons attracted attention, and in less than
u minute every eye, except those of the
doomed and unsuspecting Grampuses, was
riveted on Blinkers. Here be came, his
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-08-14

donkey churning away at the bit, end buck
jumping like a mustang, and he miserable,
frantic and helpless with terror. Blinkers
stuck, though, and the donkey lunged
away down the path like something mad,
without shaking off the stricken wretch
who rode him.
There were few Ravelian acrobats, a
wild lurch, and then Blinkers and the don
key went kerslap against the Grampuses'
patent bath-house! One complicated
shrek shot through the air, hutter and
a rafting as of machinery, and the next
instant Blinkers was dashed upon the sand
in crumpled heap, and haggard and
affrighted donkey, with his ears pinned
back and his tail between his legs.was seen
hustling down the beach like some panic
stricken meteor. And then the great
Grampus pavilion with acreak and a snap,
suddenly shut itself up into umbrella
shape, and waddled hysterically. toward the
surf on a pair Of elephantine legs-identi-
fed by a spectator as the legs of Mrs.
Grappus- suggesting the idea with its
towering outlines and its antlers and its
flag, of some gigantic species Of horned gi-
raffe which had just taken the blue ribbon
at the fair.
And that was the end of the great Gram
pus bath-house tragedy. Old mother
Grampus pranced about the beach awhile
with the.patent bath-house sitting on her
head like long but emaciated extinguish-
er, and the two Miss Grampuses who had
escaped the collapse rushed frantically
into the surf, with good deal less bath
ing dress than they would have had if
Blinkers and his donkey had given them a
little more time. Next day the family de-
parted before the rest of the world had
wakened, and the Millers and the Joneses
aud the Snagbys are having their own way
now. If this narrative should reach the
eye of any family using Baptiste's patent
portable bath-house, we trust they will
take warning, and never afterward trust to
its protection until it has been enclosed in
serviceable picket fence.

RAILWAY LEGISLATION.

The following is a summary Of the
Legislation recommended by the Wis
c7nsin State Board Of Railroad Com
missioners, and the suggestions are all
the more valuable from Ike fact that
Wisconsin has had some experience on
the subject, under the Potter law:
1. The determination by the Com
missioners Of the actual cost value Of
each road.
,. The annual determination Of gross
and net earnings.
3. The division Of roads into two
classes: the first including all that pay
a reasonable compensation on their
valuation, and the second class InClud-
ing all other roads.
4. Maximum rates to be prescribed
on roads Of the first class.
>. No restriction Of rates on those Of
the secnnd class, except to remedy I'M
lust determinations.
g. Prohibition of determinations or
unreasonable rates.
:. The requirement that all make
close connections.
s. 4 limited power to the State Com
missiOners to compel repair Of roads or
rolling stock and increased accOmmO-
dations when needed.
Q. Full publicity Of rates.
10. Publicity Of all contracts and
agreements between different compa-
MES.
II. COmpieteacc0UUts, and fuller and
more frequent reports by the roads TO
the Stale Commissioners.
y. Adequate penalties for falsfica.
ton or concealment of earnings and
expenditures.
The understanding Is that the new
law will allow the companies a profit Of
ten per cent on a cash valuation of
their property; when earnings exceed
this per cent, the rates must be re-
duced. 1t should be remembered that
a cash valuation may differ materially
from first cost and repairs. a piece Of
railroad prog erty, well managed, is as
likely to increase in value as any other
investment. On the other hand, credit
ulobiIier construction and extravagant
management may create an actual cost
much larger than the cash value Of the
property.
a very important point among the
above is that numbered Iii, requir-
ing the publicity Of all contracts
and agreements between companies
themselves. Such an enactment
by the several States would
enable the merchants, people and other
roads to see what combinations were
being formed, whether they were legal,
and how they could be circumvented
when OF an oppressive character. Hith-
erto the railroads have enjoyed alto
gether too much freedom in this respect,
and the monopolies that the West and
South complain of have been allowed
to grow up under the shield Of secresy,
until they proved powerful enough in
many instances to buy whole Legisla-
lures. The struggle on which we are
entering viii prove a severe one, but
the longer it is delayed the tougher it
viii be. The people in the several
States are closely watching their Legis-
Iators, and woe to those who are be-
guiIed by the railway lobby.

NAUTICAL NAUGHTINESS.

The Navy Department as a Pawn
brokers' ONCE - How Secretary
Robson Loaned Jay Cooke a Million
Washington Correspondence Of the Chicago
Times.
The fact is beyond dispute that Sec
rotary Robson did lend the London
banking house of Jay Cooke, McCul-
loch & Co., to save that concern from
going to ruin in the financial crisis of
1873, the sum of 81, 100000 of the ma
toms money, in two different INSTALL
mcnts, taking for security a quantity Of
old and new railroad iron, which had
already been twice mortgaged for
mJre than its value. When the suit
was commenced before the Supreme
Court Of New York, by the original
owners of the iron, for the recovery of
their thrice-pledged property, the whole
influence of the Government was
brought to bear to have the evidence
taken In secret. This was success
fully accomplished, the full record Of
the proceedings being the private court
copy now at hand. It's pages not only
prove that 100000 worth of iron be-
longing to the st. Paul and Pacific
Railroad Company was mortgaged
twice for its full value, and was then
taken by a United States cabinetofiicial
as so-called security for S1,000,000 of
the nations cash, lent by him to a
pasteboard clearinghouse IN another
country but they show the earnest
attempts which were made to conceal
the latter infamy from the court. The
dispositions Of the private attorney Of
Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co., as first
given, refer to the person who
lent the final 100000 as
ga party" On being pressed he
gave the name Of Robson in this fash
ion: Il will state that the accomoda-
ton mentioned in my former affidavit
consisted IN the continuance of an in
pOTtant current account IN London with
Jay Cooke, McCulloch & Co., by regu-
lar customers Of said firm" The reg
ular customers were Robson and the
naval department; the continuance Of
an important current account was the
sending Of 100000 to the wen-nigh
swamped firm IN September, Just be.
fore the panic broke forth, and $780,
600 more in the November following.
Questioned last week as TO why he
had advanced money on worthless Sc.
curly, Robson answered IL a very
evasive way, but endeavored to take
the ground that he was led to believe
the iron was ample security for the
money advanced. He declined to say
where he obtained the authority to
lend the nations money, even if he
had the best of pledges. His situa.
ton IN this matter is thus UNANIMOUSLY
palpable: He loaned 100000, which
he had no right to loan; he
did 1t to save a specializing
and profigate banking firm, 5000
miles across the ocean, from disruption;
he took as security iron already mort
gagged for double its original value.
This iron was never worth more than
| 100000; it has since shrunk in value
nearly half, owing to the universal
cheapening tendencies Of all staples
There is no proof that he even took
pains to have legal documents drawn
up, securing the government in its
ownership of the truck. No wonder
fires are welcome in the document
rooms Of the naval department.
