Singing

I cannot do without singing in the
morning. The night is gone; |
awake from my slumber in health
and strength: the house is still
standing on the old spot and all it
still contains is unhurt; the holy
angels have watched over me and
shielded me from all harm. When
| think Of this | must sing, whether
/ will or not. Again, 1 have safely
ended the day my days work is
finished | have received my por-
lions of daily bread, and enjoyed
the spiritual food of the word Of
God; and the angels have again
been to my protection. When l
consider this, ! am constrained to
say; All this is a gift of God, which,
1 have received although great sim
ner. A Christian, under such cir
cumstances, will sing; for how can
he help it? 1t seems to me other
wise his breast would burst. Or
when l have come to the close of a
holy Sabbath day, and the Lord has
poured over me the streams of bless
ing from his precious word, and my
heart is full of the goodness of the
Lord, then the singing | have done
In the church is not sufficient, but l
must strike up beautiful hymns with
my family at home.

Gov. Hayes religious views have been
the subject of some discussion since his
nomination, not that they of the slight
est consequence, but one likes to know,
YOU know. The matter is set definitely
at rest by the statement that he is sort
of brevet Methodist. That Church per-
mits a minority Of the trustees to be of
reputable men who are not church mem
bers. In this capacity Gov. Hayes is
President of the Board of Trustees, but
not member. He is very much in the
position of the man who was intimately
connected with the fine arts. He did
not "sculp" exactly himself, but then
he hauled stone for the man who did.

Governor Tnden was elected to his
present office by $4,000 majority, over
of personal popularity. After Mr.. Bris-
tow, he is the only man in high place
who has risked anything in fight
against corruptionists. The Tweed and
canal rings have attracted about as much
attention as the whisky ring. Mr.. Bris-
tow has resigned, and President Grant
Is pardoning the men whose conviction
Bristow secured. Governor Tilden,
more fortunate than Bristow, has his
foot on both the New York rings, and
was able to triumph over them at St.
Louis.

Anawalt, Denkman B Co.'S new Saw
MIL

Anawalt, Denkinan & Co.'S saw mill was
destroyed by fire, on the LIST of last Aug
ust. On the 18th of October the CON-
pany commenced the erection Of another
mill on the site of the old one, and it is
now entirely under cover.
The main building is two stories, and
AZ by l40 feet. On the west side are the
engine and boiler rooms. of brick, the
former being IA by 35 feet and the latter
40 by so feet. On the east side there is q
frame shingle room "a by 80 feet.
/ The machinery will be entirely new and
will be furnished by Williams & White
of Moline, at a cost of oyer $4,000.
The new mill will contain one Of
Nichols's gang saws; one double rotary;
one five-saw edger; one two-saw trimmer;
one lath gang stripper; shingle mill; and
one wood and two slab saws.
Under each saw is a good, solid stone
foundation. while the entire building is
braced and built stronger than any saw
mill in this vicinity.
The carpenter work Of the mill was done
by the company, under the supervision OF
Mr.. Joseph A. Gray. one of the prop
rietors, and George Nichols, the latter a
practical mill builder, from Clinton, Iowa,
who is also the architect. The stone work
was done by Nicholas Lettig, and the
brick work by Patrick Kennedy.
To guard against fire in the future the
roof of the entire mill is ,of iron.
Water pipes, with hose, will be put in
at every convenient place about the mill
and yard.
The machinery will be put in during
the coming winter so that everything will
be ready for business in the spring, when
it will give employment to about 100 men.
When completed the mill will cost over
$20,0O0-and will be the most perfect one
10 the three cities.

ELECTION BETS.
John Morissey Declares OFF all Bets on
the Presidency Held by Him. -

81 have to-day declared off all bets on
the presidency held by me-" said Mr..
John Morrissey to San reporter yester
day.
what are your reasons for doing SOP"
asked the reporter.
I'm view of the present unforeseen
complications" said Mr.. Morrissey, both
parties claiming the election, and the
strong probability, in my judgement, that
the decision will not be arrived at for
some time yet, and when it is, that it will
be far less satisfactory than to return every
man his money, | am satisfied that it is
the best thing to do. :"
Has this action been generally antici-
pated by the ticket holders?" asked the
reporter.
Il think it has with the great majority"
replied Mr. Morrissey I'm fact should
haye done SO before this had it not been
that am myself heavy better on Tilden.
and if [ had declared the bets off when it
looked as though Hayes was certain of 1856
votes, people might have said that did it
to save myself; but the news from Oregon
to day, which gives Tilden the needed vote
to elect him, and in my judgement makes
his chances at least as good, if not better.
than those of Mr.. Hayes, relieves me from
that predicament. l don't believe there
is man in the United States tonight who
can name the next president, and if l
should meet one who thought he could /
would like to bet him one thousand dollars
that he could not. But, however this
question is decided, the men who lose their
money will not be satisfied. They bet on
the result of the vote of the people, and
not on whom congress might say would be
president; and If should pay over this
money on any such decision, | would soon
have thousands of lawsuits on my hands
to cover it back. Already several gentle
men who bet money at my rooms, some
on Tilden and others on Hayes, have noti-
fed,me not to give it up IN case their man
is declared not elected, and one heavy
better on Hayes assures me that if I do
give up his money, he will bring a suit
against me for its recovery"

An Outrage

Last night, about $50 o'clock, a man
stepped up to lady and little girl as they
were walking along the sidewalk on Union
Square near the corner Of Second av-
enue and Goth street, and catching the
lady by the arm said, I'm going to see
you home" The lady saw that the man
was stranger to her and she replied, as
she pulled away, you must be mistaken,
sir. No I'm not, said the rufian,
I'm going to see you home" WHO are
your she asked. Pm nobody" be re-
piled, and attempted to grasp her again.
The lady and little girl attempted to run
but the rufian struck the former blow on
the side of her head which knocked her
down, the rufian following up his brutal
assault by several other blows. The little
girl courageously seized the scoundrel lby
the hair of his head and attempted to pull
him from her mother, al the same time
screaming to the top of her voice. A
crowd soon gathered, but before anybody
arrived the rufian made good his escape
by running up Second avenue towards the
bridge. The ladys name is. withheld as no
good can result from its publication.
This should be warning to all ladies
not to walk on our streets after night
without male escorts.

INTERMITTENT FEVER Is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever. to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the

hibits his pictures. In an article in regard
to the Turner Fair Gust closed in Dayen-
port, thel Democrat, of that city, says:
"On the stage is an art gallery, and
among the collection we could not help
noticing the familiar and life-iike portrait
OF our old friend COL Danforth, of the
Argus. 1t is remarkable for correctness
of expression and form of features, and
looks so natural that you may easily i'm.
agine the Colonels face was framed for
the time. The artist, we understand. is

has succeeded SO well in this, that he
ought to have orders from all who desire

National Liberty and Morality in
Danger.

To the Editors Of The Argus.
In connection with our present political
embroglio there is an argument frequently
addueed that fraudulent returning is
nothing worse than fraudulent voting
To say nothing about The bad ethics here
involved, / hold that the crime of fraudu-
lent returning is infinitely the worse, and
its evil consequences much the greater,
A fraudulent Republican or Democratic
voter is amenable to the law, but be does
not effect the majesty of the law more
than any other breaker; but fraudu-
lent returning would at once subvert our
great republic itself, and the elective
system would jail, unGer it. by placing the
electors directly under the feet of the re-
turning boards; aud if it should be
nationally accepted and excused then
away would go our morality with it.
