patience, must have lost considerable sums
in worn currency. Her skill in restoring
what looked like hopeless mass was mar

from the banks were, Of course, in addition
to the regular salary paid by the Treasury,
of $1,000. For a considerable time it was

THE Paducah News says; THE last
election for Congress in the Cairo, Illinois,
District was very close, Hartzell, the Demo-
cratic candidate, receiving a majority of
only twenty votes. 1t behooves the Democ-
racy Of that district to look sharp and put
good man in the field as well as TO put in
their best licks, as they have very narrow
margin to work on. We don't want Ben.
Wiley or any other Radical to carry South
ern Illinois, for We have sort of AN affec-
ton for that section of the country" Our
friends on the other side of the river NAV
rest easy on this score. We have half
dozen Democrats in the district, all of them
in training any one of whom will lead the
Democracy TO victory next Fall.

THE Valley Clarion wants to enthuse on
the coming Fourth of July, the one humid
reh anniversary of the capture of For,
Gage and Kaskaskia. In the course of an
article on the subject it says that Ion the
evening of July 4, l17s, General George
Rogers Clarke, with his Virginia volunteers,
captured Fort Gage and took possession of
the town Of Kaskaskia. This was the end
Of British rule in Illinois. On the Fourth
of July, 1878, one hundred years will have
rolled away since the stars and stripes first
foated over Garrison HILL opposite Kaskas-
kia, in token tina. British control Of the fair
Prairie State had ended, and that hcnceforth.
for all time, this was American soil,
and its inhabitants American citizens" 1t
then proceeds 10 suggest that the only ap-
propriate place for Centennial jubilee in
commemoration of this great historical
event, is on the top Of Garrison Hill, on the
ruins of old Fort Gage, overlooking Kaskas-
kis, the old historic territorial capital of
Illinois, and from whence the American
flag first triumphantly kissed the sunligh,
Of Illinois, as the red cross of 81. George
came down, and the sun set on British rule
in the Illinois country" forever. Let us
all join in urging that Centennial pill
grimage be made by the people Of our
State, on this anniversary day. to the spot
where the flag Of freedom was first unfurled
in the great Mississippi valley" Further
