NATURES TRIUMPH.-Nature, In her
luxuriance, has clothed the hills and the
daIes with herb and shrub, whose occult
natures merely require the earnest appli-
cation of the scientific aud inquiring mind
to reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world kindly providence
has placed healing for all nations. The
only specifies for any disease yet discovered
are vegetable IN their nature, and while
quinine has been accepted as the only re-
medy for one class, the extract of the bu.
chu plant is rapidly taking its place as SOW
ereign remedy for other Of those ills afaict
humanity. The type Of disease to which
it is remedial.isa broad one, and its mani-
festatlons are legion. but Il may be started
in general terms that all diseases of the
urinary organs, whethercaused By climate,
irregularity. or self generated, submit at
once to the operation of its power. Helm
holds Buchu for all such complaints, is the
result OF long research, and is acknowIedR-
ed superior TO al other preparations.

They Got Their Beer.

The very truthful editors of the Union,
last week, falsely aud maliciously charged
Mr. George Wagner with sending beer
all over the county for the purpose of brib
ing voters to support his friend, Capt.
August Timm." As Mr.. Wagner has
never sent keg Of beer to any place 10
the county unless ordered and paid for by
the person wanting it, and as the Union
still continued to make the charge, he has
probably hit upon the right course to
silence it. Knowing from past experience
that the editors of that paper were very
fond of the beverage manufactured at his
celebrated brewery, and thinking the
charge was only made to bleed" him, he
has. as will be seen by the following notice
from that paper, hit the nail on the head
though his idea Of the Unsuitable appe-
tites of the two learned editors is alto
gether incorrect. His action will no doubt
have the desired effect-and we will prob
ably hear no more of the false charge Of
Mr.. Wagner bribing voters with free beer.
The Union's notice, this morning, is as fol.
lows
The employes of the Union return
thanks to George Wagner, proprietor OF
the AtIpntIc brewery, for keg of beer
which, being duly sampled-the beer, not
the key was pronounced excellent and
well ca culated tn maintain the high repu.
Ttation which the brewery enjoys.

softening Of the Brain.

The charges which the Union pretends
to make against Sam Porter are so modi-
fed as to meet with the entire approval of
The ARGUS, and we most heartily second
the motion to have his transactions inves-
tigated. On simmering the whole thing
down it amounts to charging Mr.. Porter
with pOstponing the tax sale from day to
day in order to give the property-owners
chance to pay up their taxes without hay
ing their property sold. By all means
agitate this subject, investigate it, make it
known to everybody. This is just why the
people desire Sam. Porter's reelection.
At the last tax-sale Mr.. Porter did post
pone the tax-sale from day to day, and
this time gave delinquents an opportunity
to pay up between six and seven thousand
dollars of taxes. By all means investigate
this business. Such zen as Judge
Guyer, who have been connected with
the tax sales in this county
for more than twenty years, assured
US, this morning, that the imputation that
there is tax ring 10 Rock Island is absurd,
that Sam Porter has always worked 10 the
interests of the taxpayers. Another
prominent aud influential republican
characterized the attempt in the Union to
iDjure Mr.. Porter as an instance of
'softeninG of the brain. This is sad
commentary upon the elegant editor with
the umbrella" Possibly more truthful
cause would have been to attribute it to
beer on the BRAIN" as the Union
acknowledges the receipt of keR of beer
at about the time the article must have
been written.
If the Union has any more such motions
which it desires The ARGUS to second, il
cannot PROFOUND them any too soon.
Again, to be more explicit concerning
shat definite statement" which the Union
says it has received, we are permitted t.
say that this gentleman who does not re
side in Rock Island" and who writes t.
the Union that he desired to buy some tai
lands to the amount of some $500, anC
only got 800 is undoubtedly an old lana
shark who has speculated off of the taz
sales of poor mems property of this county
in hard times with his surplus fund
crampine his 25 to 100 per cent. since tht
organization of this county and is a resi-
dent of Port Byron, and the first letter o
his name is Nathaniel Belcher. P. M.
He was prevented from investing hi
5000 by the good service of Sam. Porte
who postponed the sales from day to da!
and gave notice of the same in the papers
notifying the taxpayers OF this count,
to come in and pay their taxes and say
themselves from the heavy per cents
which this friend of the dear people
sought to obtain for his own especial use
and benefit. In this manner Mr.. Porte
saved the citizens of this county thou
sands of dollars instead of becoming tn
tool and servant of these old land shark
who speculate off Of the poor, hold th
post offices and run politics in the neares
and most undetermined way.
1t is now moved and seconded that ID
Union try again.
