of Hebrew, which he studied when he

banquet in Washington on July Is, at
which he spoke Hebrew quotation from

poem. A Mr.. S. Mannheimer of St.

that he will turn the book to the good use

As background to this admirable

exquisite design, which may fairly be
ranked among the fine arts. The enam-
eller's art is combined with the painters

pictures, the beautyof which it is diff
cult to find language to describe. The
scenes are divided between the works of
Germany's greatest poets, Goethe and
Schiller. "De SPLENDID Knaap de jon
Ceiling aun de Beck" of Schiller, is a
lovely picture, the soft blending of the
colors give it that sweet, dream-like char
aeter, which is the chief glory Of some
of-the finest pictures of the modern Ser
man school. There is also fine picture
from Schiller's William Tell. Goethe's
Mater Doloroso is magnifcently repre-
sented, and there are two noble illustra-
tious of his Faust and Marguerite. In
them both the hideous character of
Mephistopheles is absent you see moth

happy souls; the dread catastrophe that
immolates youth and beauty and honor
and chastity, and lays them in hopeless
ruin, is still far off, and loves rosiest
hours of happiness, basking in summer
bowers, lit by the soft beams of the har-
vest moon, float on in rosy glory which
brings Heaven as near to earth as it is
the lot of living mortals to know.

before the negro had been tampered with
by party politicians.
In 1869, he gave the most decided ex-
pressions of his opinion as to the policy
to be pursued-even yet pursued--toward
the negro. This was his Grafton at the
Georgia State Fair in Macon, on the 18th
of November. These are his words: -.
"The negro is undoubtedly better fit:
ted, from his long training, his physical
confguration and his adaptability to all
the diversities of our climate, to make q
more efficient laborer than any other.
Especially is this true when the labor is
to be performed in the more malarial
portions of our country. Our object,
then, should be to develop, to the utmost,
his capacity as laborer. To do this,
time is requisite, and we shall have to
exercise great forbearance, constant pru-
dence and steady kindness. We must
make him feel that his interests are in
dissolubly bound up with ours; that high
prices for our products insure high wages
| for him that we have no animosity to-
ward him; but, On the contrary, that we
cherish the kind feeling engendered. by
early associations and old memories.
Let us be scrupulously just in our deal
ings with him let us assist him in his
aspirations for knowledge and aid him in
its acquisition. Try to elevate him III i
the scale of true manhood, Of civilization
and Christianity so that he may be better
fitted for the grave duties and high re-
snonsibilities forced upon him by his new
position. In word, convince him tnat
we are the best, if not his only, friends,
and when he shall have done this, we
shall not only have placed our labor on . 2
sound footing, but we shall! have gained
in the laborer strong and Jealous ally.

AN ATTEMPT TO INJURE HIS

Leading Republicans Denounce the

members of the house were present.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-The testimony
of Harvey, before the committee on ex

Although he swore positively that h,

The Dixon r. r. Meeting.

Report says that the meeting at Dixon
on Monday to build railroad from Sterl-
ing to Rockford was largely attended, and
that corporation was organized, called
the Rock River Valley Railroad Company,
and directors chosen. The object is to
build road directly up Rock river, from
Sterling, via Dixon, Grand de Tour,
Oregon and Byron to Rockford-all these
towns being on Rock river At Byron, in
Ogle county, the road will intersect with
the Chicago & Pacific, which it is supposed
will be extended from Byron to Lanark
connecting there with the Western Union
road Lanark is between % and 80 miles
due west of Byron. And Rockford is SO
miles northeast of Sterling.
All this new project from Sterling to
Rockford, right up Rock river, needs, is
cash.
OF course it is the desire of the Oster-
berg party to see this road built from
Sterling to Byron, anyhow. and then form
amicable transportation arrangements with
the Rock River Valley r. r. and with the
Chicago & Pacific and thus get into Chica-
go over what some people are pleased to
call an independent line" and thus give
an increased business to the St. Louis
road.
There are several things in the way Of
this desirable object, which are not likely
to be removed in the lifetime of Osterberg
& Co.
l, The want of cash to build the Rock
River Valley R. R. People who have
cash (outside of Frankfort are getting to
be little bit careful about sinking it in
holes in the ground where they are not
likely to ever see but very little of it in re-
turn.
2. The bankrupt g. & P. is as likely
to fall into hands more friendly to other
interests than the St. L. r. l. & c.. as
into hands friendly to that interest
But allowing it to fall into hands friendly
to the st. Louis road, it will not then be-
able to compete with other lines, for the
reason that it has no such entrance into
Chicago as enables it to compete with 9th
er lines. We are told that it costs some
81 car to haul freight from the eastern
end of the @. X p. to the depots or ware
houses or elevators in Chicago.
We hope the connecting link will be
made from Sterling to Rockford, for i
will be a benefit to our local interests, eve,
if it does cot pay any dividend to thos
, who build it.

interest make such eastern connections a
