Republican Candidates.

MI. l.. ID. No6uieS, OI INaSHVlll6s w deH-
ing county, is at the Harper House, on
visit to the Republicans of this county re-
garding the nomination for auditor of
public accounts He is an able man and
the most formidable opponent of Gen. lip
pincott.
Mr.. Eugene Garfield, of Aurora, Kane
county, is also at the Harper House on
similar errand in relation to the office of
attorney-general, in opposition to Edsall.-
He would make as good an officer as we
now have-perLaps better.
Messrs. Lippincptt and Edsall were here
some time ago.
Candidates for Republican nominations
are numerous-from to or more for
every office.
1t is the same with our county Republ-
cans. Morey, Flickenger, and Perkins, of
Moline; Beal of Yuma; HAYES, of Rock
Island; and Geo. Brown, of Buffalo
Prairie are willing to sacrifice themselves
in the sLiriffs ofice-and the chances are
rather in favor of Brown, at the present
moment.
Wiser, Bowman, Maroni Wheeler, and
Harson, are willing to be circuit clerk-and
each think they have sure thing.
| Parmenter and O'Nei are both anxious
to do the legal thing in legal way.
THE ARGUS would like to see them al
defeated by good and competent Demo.

EARTH CLOSETS. The Wakefield earth
closet is said to be the great blessing Of
the 18th century by those who are so for
tunate as to possess che. They are not in
tended for invalids alone, many family
in robust health use them in preference to
vile privy with obnoxious odors enough to
knock strong man down, much less a
weak woman. The secret of their emitting
no odor lies in the fact that the earth with
which the vessel is filled is deodorizer
and destroys at once all offensive odors.
They are portable, and coming into general
use. In the sick room they are an indis-
pensable article of furniture. DaJaque

Queries for Railroad Managers.

What should properly be charged to
account of renewals? When a hundred
old rails are taken up and sold for half the
price of new rails aud the proceeds credited
to miscellaneous earnings, should the cost
of new rails to take their place be charged
to renewals?
And what if no entry of receipts for
old iron has been made on the books at
all?
An early reply is desired, to assist rail-

4 Cure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip Simply cul-
ture. There is great deal Of gossip that
has no malignty in it. Good-natured people
talk about their neighbors because, and only
because they have nothing else 10 talk
about. As we write, there comes TO ms the
picture OF family of young ladies. We
have seen them at home we have met them
in galleries of art, we have caught glimpses
OF them going from bookstore or library,
with a fresh volume in their hands When
we meet them, they are full of what they
have seen and read. They are brimming
with questions. One topic of conversation
is dropped only to give place to another, in
which they are interested. We have left
them, after a delightful hour, stimulated
and refreshed and during the whole hour
not a neighbor's garment was soiled by so
much as touch. They knew something,
and wanted to know more. They could
listen as well as they could talk. To speak
freely of neighbor's doings and belongings
would have seemed an impertinence to them,
aud, of COURSE, an improperly. They had
no temptation TO gossip because the doings
of their neighbors formed a snbject very
much less interesting than those which grew
out of their knowledge and their culture
And this tells the whole story. The con-
iirmed gossip Is always either malicious or
ignorant The one variety needs change
of heart and the other a change of pasture
Gossip is always aper5onal confession either
of malice or imbecility, and the young
should not only shun il, but by the mosi
thorough culture relieve themselves from all
temptation to indulge in it, 1t is low,
frivolous, and too often a dirty business.
There are country neighborhoods in which
it RACES like pest. Churches are split in
pieces by it. Neighbors are made enemies
by it for life. In many persons it degener-
ates into chronic disease, which is pract-
cally incurable. Let the young cure it,
while they may.-Dr.J q. Holland, ScriJner.

The Agony In the Garden.

Is there any way of explaining this scene
in the garden, this dread night-struggle OF
Jesus Christ, If we exclude the idea of sac-
rifce aud yicarious suffering, which the
Christian church has always attached to it
Can 10 be said, e. o.. that the language Of the
annaists is evidently more than the quality
aud substance of the thing they narrate
On the contrary, the very opposite Of this
may truly be said. All the four Eyangelists
describe this scene in Gethsemaue, and you
cannot find in any one Of the four q single
ambitious phrase or highly-colored express
sion. The events are told Just as they
seemed 20 them at the time when they hap
pened, and with simplicity, and an hon
esty, and an unimpassioned plainness un-
matched n all literature. So far are We
from feeling that the language is eXagger-
ated, requiring abatement Of what would be
the literal meaning in our interpretations Of
it, that it may be said that there is hardly
serious reader Of these narratives who does
not, as he reads, feel, instinctiyely aud ir-
resistbly, that the thing is far more than the
language in which it is conveyed. We are
made 10 see the one great, mysterious Per
son, in a great, mysterious, personal passion
deepening into agony, and horror Of great
darkuess-and yet we feel, without a word
Of explanation or application from mem,
that all that is for us. Partly, no doubt, be-
cause we bring back the explanation Of the
after events upon these narratives and the
epistolary instruction of these same men,
aud the faith and teaching Of the church
eyersince but partly, also, because the thing
narrated is so intrinsicaly great aud all-im-
portant that it cannot be hid, but would
reveal itself as it has revealed itself to all
serious readers OF all ages and countries, as
a divine passion as the sorrow of God over
human guilt and sim Smddg Magd-ine,
