Walter Dupey. The couple met several
times, and last evening another meeting
took place, Mary being accompanied oy
her cousin, Annie L. Blide. who resides
at As Hanover street. and the young man
having with him another young man.
They paired off aud started for a walk.
and after walking awhile a ride on the
lake was proposed. At first the girls de-
INJURED, but finally consented, and started
out, each occupying separate skiff They
did not venture cut very far nor get
widely separated, and about 9 o'clock
were couple of hundred yards out OBJ
posite the foot of Twelfth street. At this
time Mary Blide, from whom the infor-
nation is obtained, noticed movements in
the boat containing her cousin and escort
that indicated a struggle. Annie was also
calling for help, and the man who wal
with her appeared to be trying to restrain
her and force her to be quiet. In few
seconds the boat was capsized. and Mary
| thinks both her cousin and the young man
we're drowned, as they were not seen after
the capsizing. Mary's companion rowed
her hastily ashore, and jumping from the
boat ran away. Anne Blide was about
seventeen years of age, rather pretty, and
the daughter of highly respectable
| family.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-05-30

The country is treated every day or so
to some new rumor as to the future career
Of Gen. Grant. He is to be the chief in
some grand banking concern. He is to be
United States senator. He is to lead the
armies Of Turkey or Of Russia But he
has never yet been accused of aspiring to
the position of justice of the peace. Now
Washington, after having saved the
country" quite as conspicuously as Gen.
Grant did. aud after serving for two pres
idential terms, did, as matter Of history,
become a justice of the peace, and so did
John Adams. There is nothing surely in
the personal character of Gen. Grant to
make such a step surprising, He could
fill the Office with the same modesty and
sincerity and integrity as his predecessors
did, and would probably make as good Il
justice of the peace as Gen. Washington
or Mr.. Adams. How does it happen then
that there is something ludicrous in the
association OF Gen. Grants name with an
Office which would be glori6ed and almost
hallowed by these venerated names, unless
everybody felt that the Office itself was
already invested With such ample dignity
that it really exalted Washington and
Adams in the esteem of all rejecting men
Have we fallen upon times when our in-
terest in the more dazzling affairs of the
nation overshadows our interest in local
self-government? Has it grown to be a
settled belief that the minor offices in our
political system are Devermore to be
administered by our best citizens? Has
the country forgotten that the character oil
its local magistrates is of quite as much
Importance as the quality Of its presidents
and governors2 Is there no surviving
community which selects it's foremost mar
for Squire Pm, y. Tribune.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-05-30
Wednesday. Nay 80. 1877.

If cable dispatches are to believed, there
is an altogether absurd amount of fuss in
England about the reception to be given
General Grant in official circles there.
One London paper is reported as appeal
ing to the duke of Cambridge, uncle OF the
queen and commander'In chief OF the
English army, to waive his privileges as
q member Of the royal family and make
the first call on Grant, rather than have
"a fresh grievance arise" to disturb the
harmony of the two countriesi If any
question about special recognition of the
ex president has actually been raised, it is
probably to be attributed to that uucon-
trollable donkey, PIerrepont, whose per.
verted ambition impels him to show Oh
every possible occasion what an internal
idiot an American can make of himself
when he tries. Unless the English Off
Gals are determined to- prove themselves
the match OF our minister 10 asininity, they
will treat General Grant precisely as they
would any other American citizen visiting
Great Britain. On the old principle,
''once captain. always a captain" the
ex-president retains the title of General
in common, informal intercourse, but he is
entitled to no official standing, here or else
where. He is not general, nor even a
captain, He is not, as some gushing i'm
beetle has claimed, entitled to be treated
with the honors of dethroned sover.
eign," whatever they may be. He is
simply Mr.. U. S. Grant, who goes abroad
about his own business or pleasure, and
this country and this government don't
care-and have no right to care-a cont
mental how he may be received by the snobs
and snobesses on the other side of the
Atlantic, so long as he is not deprived OF
the legal rights that belong to every
American temporarily sojourning in Eng
land. If he finds personal friends there
who choose to call on him or invite him to
their houses. that is their business, and
it is certainly no business of the English
government or the American people

cannot but be the happy thought as the
fortunate recipient of the Rocky Moun-
tain Tourist" scans its wonderful attractive
pages and peruses its fascinating descrip-
tons. Most beautifully embellished with
new and highly artistic engraviDgs, its
letter-press a model of typographical
richness, and the arrangement throughout
simply superb, the Rock Mountain Tourist
is worthy of comparison with Picturesque
Amcricd or The ALdne 1t is written III
gossipy, graphic style, covering details Of
the tour through the garden of the South

sas), to the very heart of the Alps OF
America-the Rocky Mountains. Jaunts
are made to all the famous resorts of Col
orado, the remarkable ruins, the springs,
the mines and, in short, to every point OF
interest to tourist, agriculturalist, capitalist.
miner, and invalid. With the Tourist, the
San Juan Guide keeps fitting company,
and the two publications are mailed free to
all writing for one or both to L. j. Ander-
