Black Jack.

There is every indication that Black
Jack Logan's senatorial campaign was
commenced a little too soon. The forced
postponement OF the republican caucus
was an admission Of weakness on the part
of Logan's hackers, who from the start
have forced the fight on the grounds that
Logan owned the party in this state.
Every indication points to his defeat IN
less new forces can be brought to the res
cue. The entire whisky ring have been
on the ground for some days, and their
presence, instead of adding to Logan s
strength. has detracted from it. Now the
idea is beginning to dawn upon the minds
Of some who were forced to his support
by the party lash, that it will not be the
unpopular thing to have a second choice.
If Logan is not nominated on the first bal
lots, the dark horse" will win the race,

Hog Cholera.

DIR. Henry j. Detmers, one of the six
special agents appointed by the govern
ment to gather information and statistics
concerning the hog cholera, informs the
Dixon Sun that he regards hog cholera
very similar to the diphteria which affects
the human family. He says that the re-
suits of all information obtained thus far
goes to show that the disease is a sporadic
one, propagated by spores carried through
the air, and that no known remedy has
yet been discovered for its successful treat
ment. He reports that about Is per cent.
of the hogs attacked die. The result OF
the facts ascertained by the commission
will be published by the Government

An Expensive Mistake.

When the board of supervisors handed
in the list of grand jurors to the circuit
clerk, it contained "a names when the law
says that % shall be the number. The
sheriff made out the vinirie and SUMMONED
the jury, and when Judge Smith swore
them in, the clerk read the names and the
judge did not know that there was an ex-
cess of one juror. The grand jury met, did
its work and adjourned, aud now the dis
coyery is made of the mistake in the vini-
RE, To-day Judge Smith ordered new
jury called, and the sheriff made out the
following vinirie, who will convene to~mor-

If the grand jury has to 60 oyer the enr

etc., it will cost the county y snug sum, but
as the new jury is composed largely Of
those who were members of the former

Thee Union, this morning, makes some
very forcible comparisons between the en-
lsrged liberality of Rev. Father Roles and
the contracted bigotry of Father Msckin,
as reported in the Collins case. Comparl-
sons are always odious even though they
be lust. The public can form their own
onipion in this case. The only complaint
we have ever heard against Father Mackin,
as priest are his reported quasi-endorse-
ment of the secret Mollie Mcguire part
of the national party, and his attempt to
blackmail citizens into purchasing tickets
to the Catholic festival. Other than these,
he is looked upon as fair-minded man.
There is one tact:Which may not be gener-
ally known in connection with his refusal
to allow the body of Collins to be buried
in the Catholic cemetery, which is, that the
cemetery has never been consecrated. AS
far as the church is concerned, he doubt
less did not exceed bis priestly authority in
the course pursued, although it would
doubtless have been more to his credit to
have followed the example Of Father Roles,
in similar case, several years ago.

Pass ever swifter rs we near
The final goal, the silent end
Towhich our fated footsteps tend.
A year once seemed a century:
Fow like a day it hurries by,
And doubts and fears our hearts Cypress
And all the way is WEAKNESS.
All, me! how glad and gay we were,
Youths sap IN all our veins astir,
When long ago, with spirits high,
A happy, careless company,
We started forth, when everything
Wore the green glory of the spring.
When all the fair, wide world was ours,
To gather as we would its flowers.
Then, life almost eternal seemed,
And death q dream so vaguely dreamed
That in the distance scarce it threw
A cloud-shade on the mountains blue,
That rose before us, soft and fair.
Clothed in ideal hues OF air,
To which we meant in after time,
Strong in our manhood's strength to climb.
Now all has changed! Years have gone by,
And OF that joyous company
With whom our strength first iourneyed on,
Who-who are leftY Alas, not one:
Love earliest loitered on the way,
Then turned his face and slipped away
After him with footsteps hight,
The tickle graces took their flight
And all the careless joys that lent
The revelry and merriment
Grew silent, and ere we knew,
Had smiled their last and said "adieu."
Hope, faltering then with doubtful mind,
Began to turn and look behind,
And we, have questioning, we're fain
To follow with her back again;
But Fate still urged us on our way
And would not let us pause or stay.
There to our side with p.aiutive eye,
In place OF Hope came Memory
And murmured Of the past aud told
Dear stories of the days of old
Until it's very dross seemed. gold.
And Friendship took the place of Love,
And strove in vain, to us, to prove
That Love was light and insincere--
Not worth mans regretful tear.
All-all in valn-Grant twas a cheat,
That no voice ever was so sweet
No presence like to Loves, who threw
EnchaRtment over all we knew;
Yet still we listen with al sigh,
And back. with fond tears In the eye,
We gaze to catch glimpse again
OF that dear place-but all in vain.
Preach not, o stern Philosophy
Nought we can have, and nought wO see
VIII ever be go pure, so glad,
So bealtiful-as what we had.
Our steps are sad-our steps are Glow
Nothing is like the long ago.
Gone is the keen, intense delight
The perfume faint snd exquisite
The glory and the efluence
That hRllowed the enraptured sense
When Faith and Love were at our side,
And common life was deifed.
Our shadows that we used 10 throw
Behind US, now before us grow
For once we walked toward the sun,
But now, Lies full meridian done,
They change, and in their chill we move,
Farther away from Faith and Love.
A chill is in the air-nn more
Our thoughts with Joyous impulse soar,
But creep along the level way,
Waiting the coming of the day.
The future holds 10 woudrous prize
This side Deaths awful mysteries.
Beyond what waits for US, who knowss
