The Eucampment.

The encampment of the Second brigade,

and will continue three days. The State
Register. referring to the matter. says:
"Brigadier General Reece, commanding
Second brigade Illinois National Guard,
has completed arrangements for three
days encampment of bis command here,
beginning on September 9th. Gen. Reece
has obtained transportation for the COM
panles of the brigade, and is now looking
for a camp-ground which shall combine
the requisites of shade, water, suitable
parade ground, and proximity to the city.
The brigade numbers little more than
5000 men on paper. and it is believed
will muster very nearly its full strength.
The responses from the companies and
regiments Indicate that the encampment
is very popular with the boys, and it is
thought this will be the largest military
demonstration made here since the war.

use of ointments for eruptive COM

their having tendency to clog the

are, besides, seldom thorough enough

a Pine Work,

0, j. Dimock this morning received a
life size stone image Of his Newfoundland
dog, which will be placed at the graves of his
two children in Chippiannock cemetry.
This dog was greatly attached to the two
little ones, whose death under such sad cir
cumstances occurred some time ago. Ae
would follow them everywhere, even to
school, and when they were taken sick, he
went to the school house each day, waited
patiently for the scholars to come out, and
then would make tracks for home looking
mourDful and anxious The fidelity Of the
noble brute was proven on more than one
occasion and as the little ones now dead,
were so greatly attached to him. Mr.. Dimock
determined to have stone image of the
dog made and placed at the graves. Ac-
cordingly he secured the services
of a first class artist in that
line of work, Mr.. F. 0. Coss, of Chicago,
and had a sketch drawn of the
animal lying down, with head resting on
his paws. The contract was given to the
Rustic Monument Co., Chicago. and it
is but justice to say that the work is the
finest of its kind we have seen. Every
feature is clearly defined, the position is
natural while the life like expression to
the animal classes the work as one of un-
usual excellence, When the work was
finished it was on exhibition at the ware
rooms of the Rustic Co, Wabash Avenue
and none passed by without stopping tC
view the stone image It is carved out
of a solid piece of stone, rustic in finish or
the base and displays the work of mas
ter hand in conception and finish. The
two little ones at whose graves this add
tional tribute is placed were wont to romI
and play with the reality whose image i
is, and when the parents and friends O
the two departed visit the graves, tina
stone image of the noble brute who watch
over them 10 life, must bring reminder O
those days which have gone, gone never Il
return. And there will fall many silen
tear as the beautiful lesson the seen,
teaches is realized.

The Library Board.
Rock ISLAND. III, Aug. 9. 1879

ROCK ISLAND, ILL, aug. 9, 1879.
Ed. Argus.
| notice that the editor of the Rock Is
lander still continues to harp on the
Library Board, and charge that 1t is run
in the interest of the republican party.
He cites in support of his charges that there
are no greenback papers taken outside of
this city and claims that it is unfair to ex-
clude such papers and take only republi-
can papers. Now l am not member of.
and have not conversed with any one of
the Board but it looks to me as If the edi-
tor OF the Rock Islander is not so much
exercised over the presence of so many
republican papers as he is over the
absence of the kind he is laboring to have
us believe he prefers. | do not know
whether the facts are os he charges, but it
seems to me that if SO. a revised list
should not necessarily include greenback
organ. In fact it seems to me If any
change is made, the preference
should be given TO non-politieal papers
and not to sectarian or political journals.
The editor of the Rock Islander is incon-
sistent, for while assiduously trying TO
teach his readers that the Library Board
should not be political he is doing his best
to draw party lines by insisting that strict
party papers shall be taken by the board.
Ii he really wants non-political, non
sectarian board, let him stop his whining
about party papers and labor to increase
the number of readable journals In the in
terest of other than party purposes;

which is the result of natural bodily waste

but remains to corrupt the blood and
develop poisonous diseases. It is one of
the benefcent effects of Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters to gently stimulate the
urinary organs, and prevent them from
lapsing into a state of inactivity, always
provocative of their iDfammatary degen-
Grafton and decay. How much better,
then, is it to adopt this mild diuretic as q
means of melting them to action, than to
incur the danger Of this destruction. To
expel from the system waste matter
through the bowels and kidneys, and to
regulate and arouse the stomach and liver,
are among the chief uses of this valuable
remedy.
