Obituary..

DIED-At Homecoming, August 8th, 1876,
ALEXANDER SLOAN, aged 16 years, 10
months and l day, youngest son of Mrs.
Ann Sloan and the late Matthew Sloan.
After a lingering illness which he bore
with fortitude, he was relieved from the
pains and vicssitudcs of this life by Death,
1.-The Liberator of him whom freedom can
not release the Physician of him whom
medicine cannot cure; the Comforter Of
him whom time cannot console"
Among the brightest and most cheerful of
his companions ready to propose and par
ticipate in all the sports incident to boy.
hood, often will his place be missed and his
early death deplored by his companions
Gentle, kind and obliging, especially to
those whose age prevented closer compan-
ionship, those who knew him best will re-
member him as boy of noble, generous
impulses.
Butthe stroke of death lies most heavily
upon the family of the deceased, the doting
mother and the fond and loving brothers
To them there is woful meaning in the ever
empty place at the family board and around
the evening fireside; the form once so loved
but now forever absent the vanished voice
that will never again mingle in social glee
or join in the rounds of innocent jest
Their sorrow is the sorrow of those who
mourn a daily, hourly, ever-present, ire
parable loss. The awful ruins of death are
heaped high above the dreams they cherish
ed for the loved one AS the opening flow
er whose beauty is but half unveiled, so
their darling has been cut down upon the
very Threshold of perfect, ripened man
hood, with the full bloom of mans noblest,
purest, grandest passions as yet immature
and undeveloped.
What is the heart but one vast sepulchre
OF hopes all turned to ashes dreams that
reap
One common harvest-death
But let the bereaved ones look beyond
the grave there are some hopes that will
not turn to ashes there are some DIRE. ms
that will spring into eternal reality.
Griere, mother, brothers Let thy weep
ing cease,
For tears and pining now alike are vain !;
But prayer may win for you that strand of
peace,
Where you shall see your loved and lost
again
Meier more to part. s.R.P.

Weak Eiyc Work.

The water mains in the upper part Of
the city are too small, considering the
amount of combustblo property there
and the pressure of the water works is
always kept too low. 1t takes too long to
get up sufficient pressure, the way the
works are managed. The fItering ap.
paratus is nearly worthless, and the mains
are always loaded with mud Water
takers are forbidden to use hose during a
fire, but many of them pay no attention to
the law, and thus reduce the pressure.
The rules for the govern meut OF the works
are violated every day, and no one called
to account. If the superintendent could
leave the business OF steamboating long
enough to flush out the mains occasionally,
aud strictly enforce the laws he has sworn
he will enforce it would save such farcical
motions as are made necessary, viz: to en-
force tie ordinance. 1t certainly does look
as though somebody was neglecting their
sworn duties when it becomes necessary
for the city council to direct an ordinance
to be enforced In the first place our
chief executive officer takes an oath that
he will see that all ordinances are en-
forced. Aud then every officer under him
takes an oath to enforce ordinances relating
to his deparuIeut--an yet We often read
that on motion OF this or that aldermen
this or that ordinance was ordered to be
enforced. Any officer who does not
promptly and strictly, and impartially, and
without favoritism, enforce all ordinances
relating to his department is not fit for his
Office and should be removed at once.

me Impeachment farce at last played
out" is what the Rock Island Union, edi-
ted by an assistant post master, says.
THE only direct influence of the YER
dict will be to quicken popular disgust at
the laundering and malevolance of the
Democratic committee, through the effo,ts
of which this huge mountain, SO long in
labor, has brought forth mouse SO ex-
ceedingly small, says the Davenport Ga
zette. edited by another post master.
There was no laundering" and no
farce for majority of the United
States senate decided that they had iuris-
diction.
The maa was gujlty-he had confessed
his guilt. There were 60 senators voting.
1t requires two.thirds to convict-40 votes.
Only 35 Ia majority Of 10, but rot two
thirds) voted to convict.
A Republican administration controlled
enough Republican, who wanted to save
Belknap from conviction 50 that Grant
or Hayes can give him another Office and
they sneaked behind the absurd excuse
that they didn't think the senate had iu-
risdiction and voted Not Guilty" and
Belknap, notwithstanding he had confessed
his guilt, was saved from conviction, and
because he was not convicted, the Union s
post Office editor says it was farce, and
the G0zette's post office editor says it was
''bunder.' These post Office and Grant
editors would appear much better to talk
out frankly, like the Chicago Journal,
which says:
Some Of the senators who deemed
Belknap guilty. in fact, whipped the devil
around the stump by voting for acquittal
on the fimsy technicality that he was net
an officer of the government at the time
of his impeachment This is very small
hole for those who wanted to a3quit the
offender to creep oi.t of. Those who 70.

hope of thus saving him from impeach

Justice of her due. The best legal mind,
IN both houses said He is out Of Office
