As the campaign draws TO close the
people of the commonwealth Of Illinois
can not spend their time to better advan-
tage than in advocating the election of
Hon. Lyman Trumbull, the Democratic
| nominee for governor of this state The
| campaign has, up to this date, been con
Quoted chiefly upon the issues arising upon
national questions, but the time has now
come when the people of Illinois should
begin at least to consider their own local
and state interests.
Mr., Cullom. the republican candidate
for governor. is known all over the state as
sharp, tricky and PLAUSIBLE politician of
small callbre, and some of the republicans
do not hesitate to declare that he is posi-
lively dishonest. What Mai. Bluford
Wilson ex. solicitor of the treasury. and
what Col. j. Merriam, United States col
lector for this district. would say as to this
charge, if they could be forced to testify
under oath and to display the documents
in their possession, nobody has a right to
say, for the information they possess is
Theoretically sealed from the public. But
without this there remains the fact that
Cu!lom is the most expensive governor
the state has eyer had, having made his
Office cost the people more than $4,000

oessor, John l.. Beverage This fact,
which is official and undeniabIe,
is sufficient reason why thu
peoplel of the state should vote against
and defeat him, but there are other rea-
sons quite as authentic and important
Why they should defeat the Pink of
Pekin
Hon, Lyman TrumbulI, the Democratic
nominee, is a man whose talent and ability
ut him to be the executive officer of
state like Illinois, His intellect, ability,
culture and public service are such as
give him a reputation as wide as the ma
ton. His honor and integrity are not
only unspotted, but unsupported, and no
responsible person can whisper a word
against his character. The people of Hi
nois ought to elect such a man as is
Judge Trumbull to the executive Office,
because such man by a careful, prudent
and statesmanlike administration can
reduce the expenses of the state, which are
for the years 1879 80 more than seven
times what they were under the the last
Democratic governor. Whatever is said
of the nation with or without big NJ
whatever may be said of the tariff, the
fact should be apparent to all tax
payers OF Illinois, that our local interests
are paramount and it is because OF this
that we urge all honest, rejecting, pro-
ducing men to vote for Hon. Lyman
Trunbull for governor Of the great state
Of Illinois.

A Collection of Skulls.

The British Royal College of Sur
geons contains probably the most valua
BILE collection of skulls in the world.
Over 1880 specimens make up the Sc
ries, and, of necessity, since it has been
collected and selected by well known
authority, it includes skulls and skele-
tons of great rarity, illustrating the os-
teology of almost, or quite, extinct
races, and of sections of mankind living
in secluded and almost unexplored re-
gions of the earth. Perhaps the gems
of the series are the entire skeleton and
set of skulls of the Amos of Yesso-a
race of short men differing from the
japanese by their hairy faces. Britons,
Anglo Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Orcadi-
ans and Irish are we'll represented; and
we must especially note the richness of
the series of skulls of the aborigines of
India, as well as of true Hindus. This
department includes the skull of Ju-
ang, the most primitive tribe of all In
dia, small race; two crania of Khonds
from the Chetterpore, who were exc
cuted for celebrating human sacrifices !;
one skull of young Chaser woman
from Orissa, a race notorious for their
very low standard of morality; and
skulls of the Coles and Gonds, two other
Objectionable peoples, who live in the
country near Nagpore, go about
entirely naked, and are very
savage The crania of the curious little
aborigines of Ceylon (Vedahs) are very
numerous in this collection; and we also
find series representing the Khas of
Nepal, the Lhopas and Bhuteas of Blu
tan, the Lepchas and Bodpas of Skim,
the Bodos of the Terai and of the
Assam races are skulls of Mishmees,
Singphos, Nagas, and of a Muniporee
woman, fair specimen of Mongoloid
race, where the ladies are tall and mas
culine in habits. The Burmese and
Siamese races are well represented.
Africans, Americans and Polynesians
are also found in great force in this col
lection. There are large number
illustrating the extinct Tasmanians and
there are seveaal dozen skulls of the
amiable Kanakas of the Sandwich
Islands, pleasant race, according to
the authors of "South Sea Bubbles"
but although readily amenable to civil
zation, they are rapidly becoming fewer,
owing to consumption, fevers and alco-
hol. The large group of crania of
existing tribes of South American In
dams will look well beside the hundred
specimens of ancient Peruvian skulls
presented to the college in 1873 by the
Anthropological Institute. - London

Brave Albanian Women.

The extraordinary courage of the Alba
MAN women has been displayed over
again in the history of the country but
one of the most celebrated instances
was that recorded of the branch of the
Albanian. people represented by the
Suliotes, when they were besieged by
Ali Pasha in 1892. The Suliotes formed
semi-independent confederacv, COM
prising sixty-six villages, in the Districts
of Margariti, Paramythia and Janina.
Up to the time of Ali Pasha they prided
themselves on the regularity of the pay
the intrigues of the cunning old Yell,
who wanted to get the whole of the
spahtli6 of Suli into his greedy hands,
soon reused the people into rebellion,
and they commenced their glorious and
heightened war against the far greater
resources of the renowned Pasha. The
latter, by means of the duplicity of
which he was such cOnsummate mas
ter, had entrapped Tzavella, one of the
Suliote heads of houses, into his power,
and then laid siege to the town of Suli.
He endeavored by brides to induce
Tzavella to turn traitor. Cunning here
met his match; the crafty Suliote pre-
tended compliance, and even left his
own son, Foto, in Ali Pasha's hands as
hostage. He returned to Sui under
pretense of betraying the town, but no
sooner had he arrived than he sent a
letter of defiance to the Pasha. All
then assailed the town, and it was here
that the heroism of the Albanian women
became SO conspicuous. Mosko, the.
wife of Tzavella, and mother of Foto,
showed prodigies of valor during the
siege. She broke open some cartridge
boxes with Ratchet, and then loaded
them on the other women, and rushing
into the trenches, distributed them
among the Suliotes. Ali threatened to
roast her son Foto; but she replied she
was young, and could have other chill
dren, and that she would eat bit of
the roasted flesh of her son rather than
betray her country. -Blackwood' s Maya

The We're Wolf of Superstition.

Among the countless superstitions OF
the Don Cossacks there is very Curl
Gus reproduction of the medieval belief
in the Werewolf" or human beast of
prey, gifted with the power of taking ut
will the form of either wolf or man. The
Cossacks give to these horrible half
breeds the name of Yov-Kulak," and
h.lve the firmest belief in their prefer
natural powers. II is no uncommon
thing to hear gray-haired peasant on
the Don tell, with bated breath and
nervous glances over his shoulder, how
some local hunter lately killed prowl-
ing wolf, and how an old man of evil
reputation was found dead in his bed
next morning. The African exploits of
DIR. Livingstone and Mr.. Stanley, when
first noised abroad in Russia, were as
cribed by popular superstition to their
supposed power of Transforming them
selves into wild beasts. Only three years
ago an unfortunate traveller was
seized i'm one of the Cossack villages, on
suspicion of being "vov-Kulak," and
dragged before the local magistrate by q
mob of Infatuated peasants who clam
ored for his life. The ready-witted
Judge assured them that justice should
be done, but suggested that 1t might be
well to prove the charge first, and turn.
ing to the prisoner babe him make the

obeyed, and the Cossacks, taking this
as clear proof that he could be no
demon, embraced him with yells Of de-
light, and carried him off to celebrate
the occasion with a prolonged drinking
bout.

customary slouched head-covering,

LAW VERSUS LOVE.

Ut. Popkins was bachelor. I men,
ton this fact with all due reverence for
the name-and sympathy for the condi-
ton. He was well-to-do in the world,
if owning a fine farm and being plaintiff
in lawsuit is any criterion. Aside
from Mr.. Popkins's misfortune in being
. bachelor, he had one fault-a general
aversion to female society and partic-
ular aversion to Miss Salie Hopkins, the
defendant in the above-named lawsuit.
Now, be it known, that though Miss
Sallie's name was put down on the list
of O. MS (old maids), she was the
roundest, contest, dimple-cheeked spin
ster that ever lived in Lincoln. She had
the softest brown eyes, with trick of
looking down and peeping under the
1asbes, perfectly bewildering, and her
hair waved and shone in such manner
that a susceptible lady like you and me
would have felt an irresistible desire to
have sole ownership of the Thrown
1ocks.''
But, however fascinating Miss Sallie
was to the sex in general, as have said,
between her and Mr.. Popkins there was
q deadly feud, and the cause of all the
trouble was meadow, spreading far
and wide and unconscious, between
Miss Sallie's and Mr.. Popkins's farms
Now the truth of the matter was
this: The meadow justly belonged to
Mr.. Popkins, but instead of going to
Miss Sallie and frankly stating the case,
he must serve a process of law. Miss
Sallie flew all to pieces, and declared
that she would maintain her rights at
any cost.
From the manner in which it ended,
one could see that had Mr.. Popkins
gone to her himself, she would have
'relinquished it gracefully; but woman
has mortal terror of being forced to
do any thing. Tie string around her
neck, feed her sugar-plums, and you can
lead her to the jumping off place, but
undertake to drive her, and for obstina-
cy she will beat Mark Twain's mule all
ito pieces.
When Miss Sallie met Mr.. Popkins on
the street her nose was decidedly
~ss retrousse," and Mr.. Popkins looked
like an automaton Cardiff giant. The
neighbors were forced to take part in
this case, for when invitations were
issued for the regular tea-parties,
those who invited Mr.. Popkins were
obliged to omit Miss Sallie, and cice

She was the LATEST little woman
That ever set mortal crazy;
Twas marvellous how my hayward spiri
Could be subdued by one so lazy.
To monosyllabl ,s addicted,
To use all else exceeding loath,
Asked which of two things she preferred
She only muImured, "Both"
1t is no paradox to say So
Her every movement was repose;
AS on summers day the ocean
SAUNDERS, the while it GIBBS and flows;
Yet was there latent fire; her nature
That of the panther, not the SiOth.
i asked her one day which she resembled
She only murmured, "Bothp'
Her person-well, twas simply perfect;
Matching the graces of her mind;
To perfect face and form she added
A keen perception, taste refined.
But when I challenged her to tell me,
What knew not myself in troth,
Whether her wit or beauty charmed me,
She only murmured, "Bothp'
Provoked at last at never hitting
This lazy little woman's point,
scanned her armor, and discovered
HAPPY therein one open joint.
In careless tone asked ner, knowing
Her word was binding as oath,
< Shall love or friendship be between us?'
She smiled, and murmured, "Both!'
