Major Ed. Halliday is making a per-
feet beauty out OF his late purchase. the
iron steam yacht "Ariadna." The most

The nomination by the Republican
convention of COL. Ben. l.. Wiley o.
Jackson county, tor congress, seems to
please both Democrats and Republicans.
The Republicans rub their hands and
smile approvingly of the good work of
the convention, while the uphOlders of
Democracy litter and wink knowingly
as they impart 10 4 friend the informa-
ton that sold Ben Wiley is the easiest
man to beat in Illinois,"

mortal coil, without giving his owner a
chance to bid Inn last farewell. Perry
will bury him with military honors.
