Somebody tells story of u
traveller who put up at Boston

the rear OF the building, and the
first sight which met his eyes in
the morning was gloomy ex-
panse of graveyard right under
his window. He was IA man Of
sensitive nature. ana the land
scape spoiled his appetite for that
day. AS soon as the days work
or pleasure was over, he quietly
removed his baggage to another

A "CGrPse" Speaks Out.
Scattering Of Frightened

A remarkable case occurred in
Memphis, Clark country, Ind, on
Thursday evening. Mrs. Eliza
Weir, aged 66, wife of John Y.
Weir, Of that town had been
alllng for number OF days with
lhd"mmatOry rheumatism, and
Thursday afternoon gradually
grew worse, and at 6 o'clock y.
M, to all appearances, breathed
her last. Her pulse failed to
beat. The body become cold, aud
the attendants decided that she
was dead. and made immediate
arrangements for the funeral. She
was ''laid ont" coppers placed
over heI eyes, handkerchief tied
under her chin, ETC., and the
neighbors, who were gathered
around, Were discussing the
deceased lady's many good qual>
tiles when suddenly, within fifty
minutes Of the supposed demise
the "corpse" spoke out, making
some uniutelligible request. There
were several ladies in the room,
and all of them became terribly
frightened and retired in confn-
sion, excepting Mrs. John Ball,
who remained and administered
ETC., the lady's wants, After
awhile Mrs. Weir breathed freely,
and yesterday was gradually re-

A little explanation from Governor Gull
lom would be desirable about his agency
10 or connection with one of the most vii
famous acts of trickery in the nature Of
public robbery, with which the legislative
History of Illinois is disgraced. 10 anOth.
er part of the Times to-day are published
copies of two acts purpOrting to be passed
by he general assembly of the state of
Illinois, making appropriations for the
Chester pOnitentiary. These acts are
ide Itcal in form and substance, except
that one contains IN emergency clause"
and was approved and took effect 90 the
% OF May; while the other, not having the
emergency clause, was approved two days
later, May 81 and takes effect on the Ist
of July. Zach of these bills appropriates
$l50,000, and they are in all respects
alike, with the exception above described.
IL Is apparent that the Legislature intend
ed to pass but one of these bills. As to the
other, it is stated that it was read but
twice IN the house OF representatives and
once in the senate How it cane 10 be
struggled into the governors Office, and to
receive his signature, is the question
about which the public have right to ex-
pect information from him. 1t is difficult
to believe that he put his signature to the
second bill without knowledge or even sus-
plclon OF its crookedness. Certainly the
public had no information of the tendency
OF second appropriation; and, so far as
can De learned or remembered, the daily
reports OF the Legislative proceedings con-

Democrats, Go to Work.

1t is clearly evident that the republi-
cans are alarmed. The recent over
whelming defeat in Cook county, following
50 closely upon the triumph at the Chica-
60 city election. and the largely increased
democratic vote all over the state 10 the
recent judicial contests, has led to a scouu-
Gil of the stalwarts, and now it transpires
the republican party is to be thoroughly
organized in 1880. This is no mere bun
combc-but o fact which some of the
republican papers do not hesitate to
announce as positively necessary for the
salvation of the party in the state.
While the republicans are being organized
the question arises, How is it with the
democracy2" In Cook county, especially
in Chicago, the democrats are we'll organ
lied. Also in some Of the southern coun-
ties of the state. but in a majority of the
counties there is no compact organization
that is such an one as must be perfected
for the fight 10 $780, At present, with
good leadership, Illinois is democratic, and
can be wheeled into the democratic column
in 1880, but in order to msintsin our
vantage ground, we must thoroughly
organize. If success is to come it can only
be attainedlby means OF perfect orgauiza,
ton. There should be democratic clubs
formed in every voting precinct, aud the ar
tive men of the party placed at the helm.
A perfect organization is half the battle.
Hard, earnest work under systematic d.
rectioD, means certain success. LethaTgic
indifference means defeat. Democrats
you can win if proper effort is made aud
the party is we'll organized. If you would
make success certainty 90 to work at
once. Organize.

The Lvnde Hawley Plight.

The old feud in the republican camp
seems to be breaking out afresh, since
Hon. John B. Hawley's chances for becom-
Jog secretary of war are almost certainty
THE ARGUS referred to this matter few
days ago when Haverstick, the original
organizer of the pnti-Hawley faction not
daring to use his own columns in the Re-
vielU, sent communication to the Cbica-
90 journal advocating the claims of Dick
OgIesby, not because the anti Hawley
faction love the ex-governor any better
than others, but because it was neces-
sary, 10 selecting the 'catspaw" to put
forward q man strong with the admins
tration. The Geneseo Republic in referr-
ing to Hayerstick's action says:
THE animus that actuates Have rstick
is very plain. He is the man who imagin-
ed few years since that Rock Island
county controlled the Sixth Congressional
district and that he controlled Rock IS
land county. Acting up to this belief he
soon found himself dead cock in the po-
Dtical pit. And he has remained dead to
this day. Knowing that he can hope for
neither place or position at the hands OF
those acquainted with his political record,
he breads to see the name Of one of them
mentioned for prefermen'. This is why
he chirps up for Oglesby, and this is why
dispatches similar to the one quoted will
find their way from Rock Island. Ger
tainly, Haverstick aad the clique that
were in at the death with him won't cleim
to be friends OF John B. Hawley, and out
side of them we challenge him to produce
the name of man opposed to his being
made Secretary of War it it is bis wish &c
accept the honor.
And the Davenport Gazette says-"Un.
der pretense that is so shallow as to be
transparent he uses so good man as ex'
Gov. Oglesby to hide his wreaking hatred
We had hoped that Capt. Haverstick &
idea Of seIf-respect might stand between
him and the public, and prevent his narrow
and useless attempts TO prevent another {
just promotion-though that man be John
b Hawley"
The quarrel is becoming interesting,
and, instead Of prejudices being buried as
our republican friends are wont to tell US,
the old wounds bleed afrcsh, and the sore
spot gets sorer. This is not a democratic
quarrel Democrats will have no voice in
the selection Of McCrarys successor, it is
true, but still as a choice from among re
publicans, aud inasmuch as a republican
must Gil the position, there is no one
yet named whose appointment would give
more general satisfaction than that Of Hon.
John B. Hawley. lie is not only firm
friend of Rock Island Arsenal, but be-
sides, his appointment would be a compi
ment to this locality which should not be
underestimate. In the meantime let
the funeral procession move on, whoever
be the corpse, the democrats will not be
among the mUurners.

II JOHN HANNAS, being a Blacksmith by
1 trade, had often felt the want of some me ans
whereby could soften iron at the forge, so that
could work 1t at a better advantage. This induced
me 10 make many experiments wit b different sub
stances which offered the best pros pect of success
It was oE one of these occasions that discovered
the wonderful effects of Electro Silicon on the
had defect In three of my fingers, which were
bent or shnt up in my hand in such manner, by
the CONTRACTION OF THE CORDS, that they were

until one day, wishing to use heavy hammer, l

1t had worked just as it did in my case producing
