MoHAMMEDAN FANAncIsM.-In every
bloo'hmmedan community European
AsistlSc or African-there exist few
men who believe their creed with an
intensity (which scarcely any other
faith Inspires, who entirely trust its
promises of future reward, and who
are so filed with the pride of being
intrusted with the lone true faith, ;
that they hold hfe and wealth and
ease absolutely nothing in comparison
with the extension or defense of Islam.
They will dare to revenge an insult
to it, endure anything TO win con
vert, and face anybody who offers
them through death an opportunity of
realizing its promises, with a sort of
delight in suffering which Christians
consider a prerogative of their own
martyrs.
Over and over again have a few
Mohammedan soldiers charged whole
masses of Europeans, and cut way
through them, or been cut to pieces,
without a man of them making an, eff
fort to escape. Over and over again
have minute bodies of Moplahs in
Southern India, seldom exceeding
twenty in number, slain some HindopI
oppressor, de6ed the British Govern
ment, and when attacked, rushed OH
the Highlanders' bayonets, content if
only the fatal thrust were deep(
enough to let them reach the infdels
with their knives.
Over and over again have small
bodies of Turks, defending villages or
forts, refused all terms, endured star
walton till the last food was eaten, and
then died fighting with a sort of tri-
umphant joyousness in death Moth
ing in the history Of Greece, or Rome,
Or England, surpasses the heroism
which Mussulmans, excited by their
,reed, have from time to time exhibit
d, under the most nnfavorable cir
and there is no reason to
loubt that the spirit which animated
such men animates some of their CO.
now. The idea that all
he fanatics have died out is as false
IS the idea that there are no pious I
left, men who live up to
heir light as strictly and earnestly as
ny Calvinists or High Churchmen in

OUR CAPITAL LETTER.
BorsE Cry, Jan. g, Isl

ofFevenue in Owyhee county passed
, both branches of the Legislature yes
lterday under suspended rules n This
bill is we'll drawn and adapted to the
Requirements of the people. Great
pains had been taken in its prepare
ton from that county were united ON
lit before it was introduced Its pro-
visions are too voluminous to report
in detail. Sheriff's salary for county
business is fixed at $1,75O Auditors
at $500 Treasurer's at $780, As
SCISSOR is allowed I per cent. for as
sessing and collecting, and is given
the entire collections; nothing extra
for subsequent assessment. No other
compensation is allowed from the
county. The percentage on Territori-
al tax is not yet determined. Coun-
ty Commissioners receive $3.50 per an
mum and mileage at the rate of forty
cents per mile. The delegation from
Owyhee claim that this bill will save
to the county ten thousand dollars per
year.
A spirited debate occurred in the
Council in relation to the duties of the
special committee to whom was re.
ferred the report of the committee on
Finance of the Council, and the COM
mittee on Ways and Means of the
House on printing, etc., during which
high words ensued between two oil
the honorable gentlemen, that were
only ended by a motion to adjourn. |
On reassembling after dinner with
full stomachs, anger had given way to
good nature, and conciliatory speeches
were made, and all went merry as
marriage bell again.
The bill to amend the election law
has passed the Council with modifica-
tons. Old fogy Democracy is afraid
to say by his vote that Micky Free
shall be placed under the disagreed
BILE necessity of voting but once and
then under oath if necessary. Mickey
has firm grip on all these one horse
politicians, and they don't dare tell
him he shant vote whether he il natu-
rallied or not
The bill providing for a wagon :
road from Miners, on Payette, to
Squaw creek, has passed.
A bill defining the boundary line
Ada and Boise counties has \
oeen introduced in the Council that is
likely to cause little skirmishing be-
ween the two delegations interested, y
IS the bill provides for a change g
which throws Clawson's toll-gate in 7
o Ada, and Boise doesn't seem will
ng to let it GO.
A bill passed the Council taxing
res shipped out of the Territory for (
eduction.
A bill to cause Ada Co. Commits
toner's to pay $4,000 to build
ridge at some point on the Payette
assed the House.
The revenue law is being doctored N
4 good many ways, and its hard for
ne who does not examine the bills an
loosely to tell what they all mean, so
won't try it.
The croton aqueduct, or duct at th
last, gave way the other night on on
laho street, just above the Central :"
[otel, and on the opposite side of Ida
0 street, and two women and two
lildren came near losing their lives
y the overflow of foul gases and dis
yreeably odoriferous deposits from
le canal. Whew! what an odor.

Wednesday, March l4-Charles Cronk-
hite, former DavenpOrter, has been ar
rested in Chicago aud is now in Jail on
charge of defrauding the government
while interested in a distillery at Morris,
this state, in 1875. When suspicioned he
went to Canada, and had just returned.
Since leaving Davenport, some four years
since, he has had an eventful experience
been married, become father, been for
saken by his wife, and obliged to flee from
the country to escape the clutches of the
law. And now he is in worse plight
than ever
Monday night as young man was
walking along Third street in Davenport,
with . young woman on his arm, he met
three roughs one of whom struck him anc
knocked him down. The three jumped
for the PROSTATE man to rob him, it is be
lieved, when the young woman cried fol-
the police, and the roughs took to thei
heels. This affair looks exactly like sew
eral robberies which happened on the
streets about two years ago.

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 we'll known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BITTERs.

Prof. Richards's Lectures

A select, intelligent but not large au-
dieDce listened to the opening lecture of
Prof, Richards 5 course, in Darts Hall, last
evening. The subject was-''The Matter
King. or Oxygen" The lecture and
experiments were exceedingly interesting
and instructive. Prof. Richards is unusu-
ally interesting in manner, and he has the
most perfect command of language to
express his ideas. Few people are aware of
the wonderful power and beauty of the
English language until they listen to q
master like Prof. Richards, who always
finds the right word to express the partic.
ular shade of the idea he wishes to convey
and always with beauty and force.
This afternoon a matinee was given fol
children-making hundreds of the little
ones happy and filling their little head:
with new ideas and permanent impress
sions.
This evening 1.-THE Matter Queen, o.
Chemistry of Water"
Tomorrow evening, ''Franklin's Kite
or Electrical Phenomena"
The people OF Rock Island should no
neglect to avail themselves of the instruc
ton to be obtained from these lectures.

Buchu has long been known as one Of the
most valuable medicines attainable in GER
tain classes of diseases, such as dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism. dropsy, cutaneous
affections, and especially affections of the
urinary organs. AS diuretic. it is supe.
rior to almost any other medicine in use,
and the great care with which it is pre-
pared, the absolute purity OF the prepare
ton, and the diligence used 10 the selection
of the crude material, have made i. known
far and wide as reliable and effective
preparation, and one that can always be
used with safety aud benefit The great
success of Helmbold's Buchu has led to
the production of many spurious prepare
tions, which are made cheaply and placed
upon the market to be sold on the reputa
ton acquired by Helmbold's original pre-.
paration. Parties who desire really eooc
medicine should be careful and use Helm

The Sober second rhoueht.

And now the christians of our good city
are beginning to find out that they were
nicely humbugged by thinking Graves, the
evangelist, such great man. The excite
ment has subsidized and sober reason tells
them the large attendance and the unusual
interest in the meetings were not SO much
on account of Graves as was due to their
own work during the week of prayer, and
thereafter, and to their united efforts at
the time of the meetings, and the desire of
the various congregations for a revival
season. The committee formed from the
various churches have had time to seriously
criticlse the mountebank performance of
Graves at his departure, when he stood al
