Running in Debt.

Ii is the fashion now i, -davs to ruI
in debt. A spirit of speculation pre-
walls. Men are in haste to get rich
They embark in enterprises beyond
their means. More money is required
than is at their command, and they
mortgage, and thereby impcril theil
property in the hope of gain. Blu
the best laid plans ''gang aft aglee.'
And the man who habitually runs il
debt may awake almost any morning
and find himself homeless. 1t is true
there are some who cannot save mon.
ey unless it is TO pay debt.
They will work hard and be moro
economical under the spur of indebt
edness than any other. TO such it may
be well that they owe some one. Bu
not so with the majority of men. The
world is composed Of two classes
debtors and creditors. The second
class loan to the first, and the first
works for the second. Every mar
can choose early in which class he
would be. Each wise man will so liv,
that small sum, at least, shall bt
saved each year out of his income. L
is useless to argue that your income
is small. If you eXpend all your in
come when it is $500 or $1,000. thel
you will also do so when it is $l,SOt
or $1,000. For a mans wants increas,
even faster than his income. Mari
that it is true. Cut down expense
until tenth or fifth, as may be, ca,
be saved. Then invest in safe securi
ties. Purchase home if you -hav
none. Ii you have home, buy
small farm or house in town. I'm
der no circumstances peril its safety
We have known farmers to go in deb
for organs and sewing machines t
the extent of two or three hundre,
dollars, and then when pay day came
mortgage the farm to raise the mon
ey. Organs and sewing machines ar
all very well, but the farm is niue
the more useful. One OF Horac
Grceley's sayings to young men wa
"Don't run in debt" And he gives
sorrowful picture of his trials in hi
youth when struggling to pay hi
debts. You will find many will loa
you so long as you give security, br
ten per cent. gnaws fast, pay da
comes swiftly, and money lenders al
i generally hard masters. As you valu
your happiness be careful how yo
run in debt.

Grant and Resumption.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Thc presi-
dent stated in conversation to-day
that the condition Of trade and mon
etary relations Of the United States
at home and abroad had reached that
point which would warrant an imme-
date resumption of specie payments.
He said that he had observed for
some months tendency in the finan-
cial status of the country toward re-
sumption. and he had watched it
closely, with a view, at timely
moment, Of suggesting measures that
would lead to this much desired re-
suit. lie said that last year in our
commercial relations with foreign
countries we had shown balance of
trade amounting to $4,000, coo in our
favor. During the present fiscal year,
commencing on July l, we can al
ready present the extraordinary and
flattcring exhibit Of
$lO0,O00O0O IN OUR FAVOR.
lie said that preceding the panic of
1873 the people were carrying on
speculative enterprises of various
characters at a high pressure, and
collapse was inevitable. Then every
body who had money went into spec
ulation. When money became tight,
as they were producers, they,
with SPECTATORS generally, were in
rolvcd in one general failure. After
nearly four years of rest and recuper-
alton the country has reached point
from which healthy industry and
Legitimate enterprise may come for
ward to profit by the advantage OF a
restored equilibrium.

Bishop Baltes. of the Catholic diocese of
Alton. The building, popularity known as
the Bishops Palace" is a magnificent
three story brick structure, on State street,
adjoining the cathedral. 1t contains SO
rooms.
The FIRE originated from defective hue

The alarm was promptly given. and the
hose companies soon arrived on the ground
and deluged the building with water, ex-
tiGguishihg the flames after the greater
part of the roof had burned off. The fur

CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT,

Is well known to possess the most wonderfully
healing, penetrating and stimulating properties,
and by its promptness in efecting cures. which
previously had resisted all other medicines, ad-
ministered by the most scientific physicians, has
placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in
troduced to the people of the United States. 1t
thus enables nature to throw Off disease-it pene-
trates to the bones, adding strength and activity
to the muscles-it is powerfully anodyne and there
by allays nervous irritation, producing delightful
ly pleasing sensation through the whole frame
Owing to It's remarkable anticeptie properties, 1t
purifes and neutraizes that poisonous, corrosive
principle which renders old ucerOus sores so diff
cult To heal; it therefore is peculiarly adapted to
their speedy cure. This Liniment from its pene-
trating and strengthening qualities has been found
to be specific for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswel-
ines and diseased joints and in fact all complaints
involving the muscular system. 1t has cur, cases
of Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years standing,
and affections of the spine wherein the entire
spinal column so crooked and distorted that
the patient could not walk or stand without artif-
cIal support Numerous cases of Palsy have been
cured when the flesh had withered leaving nothing

Col. Flagler's History of the Island Of
Rock Island,

1t was expected that Col Flagler's
History of Rock Island Arsenal would
be issued by July lst; but owing to the
fact that the appropriation for the purpose
was early exhausted the work will not be
published much tefore August lst. On
Saturday we had the pleasure of exam
lining some twenty copies of engraved
plates which will form part of the work.
In size they are about IL by "a inches and
show with mathematical exactness the
progress of all work on the Island. One,
birds eye view eff the Island, is beau
tifully calculated for framing, showing, as
it does at a glance, every avenue, building,
bridge, and object of interest. These
plates are in size one-third of the original
drawings aLd the work upon them shows
surveys aud observations running over
years. Another plate shows the original
plan as designed by Gen. Rodmap, made
at the expense of great pains in collecting
the fragmentary data. The work, when
completed, will have involved the expen-
diture of years of labor and thousands Of
dollars. Col. Flagler, in thus doing this
gratuitous work, has earned the gratitude
of everv one interested in the progress anG
completion of this great national work.
