\ LovISG MoTmER-Few men have ex-
pressed in more exquisite language than
Macauley the affection which every good
man feels for his mother Make much Of
it while yet you have that most precious Of
all good gfts--a loving mother Read the
unfathomable love Of those eyes the kind
anxiety of that tone and look, however slight
your pain. In after life you may have
frends--fond, dear, kind friends but never
will you have again the inexpressible love
and gentleness lavished upon you, which
none but a neither bestows. Often do |
sigh, in my struggle with the hard, uncaring
world, for the sweet, deep security | felt
when OF an evening, nestled in her bosom,
listened TO some quiet tale, suitable to my
age, read in her tender and untiring voice.
Never can | forget her sweet glances cast
upon Inc when appeared asleep; never her
kiss of peace at night. Years have passed
away since we laid her beside my father, in
the old church-yard, yet still hsr voice whis-
pers from the grave, and her eyes watch
over me, as ! visit spots long since hallowed
to the memory Of my mother

TIE COUNTY BUILDING.

The County Court will open Monday for gen
cral business.
The Grand Jury sweltcrcd for several hours
yesterday in it's Sx10 quarters, and heard quite
number of tales, and found q batch OF indict-
mcnts for small offenses. Twenty-four true
bills were returned into Court during the day,
aud when the jury adjourned it Was until
Wednesday.
Van Sycle, would-be lawyer, arrested some
time ago for conspiring with others in straw
bail venture, was yesterday tried in the Grim
inal Court Two Of the parties who consplred
with him turned States evidence, and the poor
fellow had to confront evidence enough to send
most people to the Penitc1tiary. He escaped,
however, with fine OF 81 and cost, and was re-
manded to Jail to stay until he could raise
$o1.75.
Three wagon-9oads Of empty whisky barrels,
beer kegs, brass horns, drums and men, beautiful
ly mixed together, halted yesterday beneath the
windows from which the whiskyites look out
upon Roellc T. Junkcr's and the busy city. The
music was pleasant, and drew the tncarccr-
ated to their windows, but the sight OF the bar
rcls was not desirable, for it took their minds
from their game OF cards back to greater
game in which they had both won and lost, and
in'which they find veTy little comfort Just now.
4 PAIR OF F0RGER5.
Yesterday afternoon James Costello and
George a. Rogers were put in jail for forgery,
an Indictment having been found against them
the day before. From tho evidence against
them they must be finished rascals. Their chief
victims seemed to be the railroads. They would
go into railroad office, steal a lcttcr-hcad, and
Immediately after getting on the ouside write
an order on some other railroad for 4 pass to
given point and return, and sign
to the order tho name occurring in the letter
head, and present the order themselves. The
game worked successfully in three instances,
in cfx "a e.
letter-head was used, aud in the third the Mich
igan Central. They would get the passes and
sell them to one Of the many ticket-scapcrs, and
no one knows the amount they thus realized. It
is thought that they were connected with some
OF the scalping places, and their arrest may lead
to some unexpected developments, and some
explanation OF how the sca}pers keep up their
stock in trade. They would not talk yesterday.

CHESTER, ILL.,, July 8.-The wheat crop at
best this year in Randolph County is but half a
yield, 100000 bushels, many fields having
been p1owed up and put into corn, and since the
harvest the rain has damaged the crop some,
estimated at Is per cent. The loss will certain
ly be Is per cent on an average. Oats, corn, po-
tatoes, aud other crops generally arc remarkably
fine, aud the yield will be immense. The first
tion. Timothy and other grasses now being cut
are in good condition, and the tonrare win BE-
unusually large. We have no peaches In this
locality and the apple crop will be short, but OF
fair quality. Biackberr1es are abundant Much
damage has been done this year to the crops in
Missouri and the great American Bottoms in
Illinois from high water in the Mississippi

the charge Of burglary and two charges OF as
sault with intent to kill.
William Wolf, Of 2215 West Randolph street,
was before Commissioner Hoync yesterday on
the charge Of selling liquors without license
Deputy Collector Munndcposed that he had uoti-
fed the defendant several times that he stood
in danger of being "yanked," but that it
seemed to do no good, and he had finally had
Wolf brought up. The latter had little excuse
He acknowledged that he had received due
notice, but didn't think there WIS much need Of
hurrylng In the matter. Fcr this very consery-
ative view Of tho matter, Commissioner Hoync
thought William should be held in at least
$1,000 BAIL This the defendant gave, and nov
awaits the action OF the next Grand Jury. ].
NJ. Badan, druggist at lis VanBuren Street,
answered to the same charge and gave bail in
the sum Of $500.
EMERY WEBSTER

causes which have brought Emery Webster,

tion, that corporation, through its manager, l.

that he was discovered by Mr.. Riggs, US stated
by the latter, in peeulating from the Company.
An examination Of his accounts showed that lie

used the money for his own purposes, but PROM
ised to reform if another chance wasA given
him. he was continued in the employ VI the

SOUTH PARK CONCERT.

The fourth concert Of the season was given at
the Park Band-Housc yesterday The attend
ance was very large, considering the almost in
tolerable heat, from 5000 to 1900 being present.
The music was quite fine, one of the selections
being repeated By special request. The affair
was an enjoyable ono, and the children espc-
cially had a glorious time, romping on the Park
Retreat lawns under tho grateful Shade OF the
trees. The Park phactons were in reQuisitfon,
Us usual. Commencing yesterday, these con-
certs rill be repeated every other week.
Would it not be we'll for these entertainments
to take place from to Z o'clock, instead of from
4 to Gs There are many persons who would be
delighted to hear the music, but who cannot get
away before O'Clock or later, and, besides, q
considerable number are detained from attend
ing by the great heat which generally prevails
in the afternoon.
BUSINESS AND PLEASURE.
The Coroner's inquest on the body of Mr..
Charles Shoe1cr. who was drowned at Morgan's
pier last Wednesday morning, took place Thurs
Oakland Cemetery Friday morning. The long
delays Of the Coroner recently have caused some
comment.
At the pleasant lawn party given at the resi-
present, among whom were: Misses Mallory,
Whiting, Rothgerbcr, Still, Hall, Shuman,
Racharach, Wheeler; Messrs. Wight, Bishop.
Rabcr, Marsh, Mcdonald, Fowler, Gage, Clarke,
HarstoW, Whalen, Mallory, and many others.
The dancing platform was tho best one ever
erected here. Mr.. Placey states that If q suf-
5cicnt number Of pleasure-scekers desire it he
will allow the stage to remain, and willcontinuc
these fctcs every two weeks. Contractor Bryant
has, apparently, given up the idea for the pres
ent Of finishing the brick block on Oak street,
near Cornell avenue, and has replaced the
much-nceded sidewalk in front Of them.

very nearly the entire force Of the Watcr-Works
is required to keep the pipes filled under such
usage, and, should fire occur, power enough
could not be raised to put it out. II the cifi-
