President Grant should take pity on the
few newspapers which are making such.
brave efforts to explain his silence on the
third term question, and settle the matter
one way or the other. If his dignity will
not let him speak he should send out an
explanation which they could all use, and
then at least they would all have the same
tune to sing. As it is now they are mix
ing the thing up dreadfully. There is the
Pittsburgh Gazette which is manifesting
strong signs of becoming an out-and-out
third term advocate, saying that the Dem
ocrats know that Grant is Ia very strong
candidate, and have started the clamor
about third term simply for the purpose
Of preventing the Republicans from renom-
mating him. The Chicago Tribune takes
the wind out of that excuse by presenting
this directly opposite theory: The Dem
ocrats are responsible for all the dust that
has been raised about the third term, and
their party is the only one that would
really like to have Gen. Grant renominated
That is the best chance they see of easy
victory"

The evidence was concluded this fore

The grand jury concluded their business
at noon to. day and were dismissed for the

Richard Steward and David Wilson,

David Wilson and Mary Wilson, lar

John Masters, murder

No bills were found against Jacob Camp

Water Works Notes.

Mr.. CoyeIl has some men in his employ
fllin6 trenches who ought to be discharg-
ed. A sample case is given: Yesterday
one of the shovelers had pitched in some
rocks at the bottom of the trench. Mr..
Riley saw it and directed him to remove
them. He was all politeness and removed
them, but as soon as Rlley's back was
turned he commenced tumbling them in
again, with grin and shake of his head
towards Riley. Such men should be dis
charged as often as discovered. They
know how the work ought to be done, but
maliciously try to do it wrong.
The tamping of the filing is delusion.
About one man to Is shovelers-and he
has only bit of scantling with pin in it,
which, about once in to minutes he viii
raise few inches and let it drop; Their
lean on it until he is in danger of being
covered up by the shovelers. That par
of the work is not being done as it should
be, The filling will settle, in time, and tn
city will be at the expense of repairs whicl
might be avoided if the earth was properl
tamped down in the trenches, according t
the contract.
The contractors are getting along quit
well, considering the weather for the las
, week or two. and will probably have Ill
nois street all safe on Monday. The
have force of about 100 men employed
, The city has about IS men at work on tn
trenches, and teams hauling clay frol
the bluffs to cover the mains.

Death of a Rsligeuse.

Many in this city will be painfully sur
prised to learn that Sister Mary Alphonse,
formerly Superior of the Academy of the
Immaculate Conception here, is dead.
Sixteen years ago, in the pride Of her
youth, she dedicated herself to God. Miss
Catherine Mullany, for that was her
worldly name, daughter of John Mullany,
Esq, of Dubuque, became Sister OF Char
ity. Rarely gifted. possessing talents even
beyond those selected to teach in the Or
der to which she belonged, she was wisely
chosen to succeed Sister Mary Margaret as
the Superior in Davenport, when it became
necessary for that lamented lady to return
to Dubuque. The prominent position
which the Academy has taken as an edu-
cational establishment is largely due to
her efficiency in an executive capacity, her
earnestness. and her amiability. So re-
markable was this last quality, that many
have said that such sweetness OF express
sion, as shown in her face, is not twice
seen in this world. The writer of this has
occasion to remember the last time he saw
her smilingly showing her invalid mother
over the institution, of which she was, fol-
the time, the Superior. and little thought
that those benevolent eyes, which looked 6
celestial blessing for all, would be so sooI
closed in death Even then, that fell dis
ease. cancer, was eating at that heart which
tbrobbed with every pure emotion. At
o'clock on the morning of the 9Th inst. thu
deadly work was consummated.
1 1t struck Gods lightning from her eyes,
And bore him back the flames.
In the arms of the first Sister of the or
der, and surrounded by her sorrowin
friends and Co workers, her spirit fed I
its reward, There are a number of per
sons, not of her faith. pupils and friends
in Davenport, who will be sorry to hea
this.-Dau. Dem. 7h.

How johnny Logan Joined the Church

How johnny Logan Joined the Church
The New York World has the following
notice of the manner in which Johnny Lo-
gan joined the church:
'How idle til to talk of the quarrel be-
tween science and religion A story which
reaches US from the west concerning that
eminent gentleman and scholar, Senator
Logan, beautifully illustrates the ease with
which they can be reconciled. 1t is stated
that Senator Logan, during the recent ses-
sion of congress, became impressed with the
extent and influence of the methodist body
in his own country, and determined to ally
himself with it. But finding that the de-
mands upon his time in Washington were
iucessant and that it would be extremely in
convenient for him to leave the capital, he
hit upon the brilliant expedients of joining
the church, with which he wished to asso-
eiate himself. by telegraph, and of sending
| forward his photograph to be baptised !!
We tell the tale as it was told to us, vouch-
ing for nothing. But if it is not true in
every particular it certainly ought to be, "

There are many acres of ground-yes,

Of which, with a river front, would, in

of transportation to and from it. No finer

that the Peoria r. r. Co. will, if permis-
