LITERARY NOTES.

Tho July number of the North
American Review bears the usual
Characteristic of timeliness. Carl
Schurz leads off with suggestive pa
per on "Present Aspects of the Indian
Problem" In which he discusses the In
dian obstacle in the way of the coun-
try's development, the harmonizing of
the habits, occupations and interests of
the red men, the necessity of educat-
ing their youth, the making of the men
themselves small land proprietors, and
the offering of inducements TO them to
sell for fair compensation the lands
they do not cultivate. Next caustic
writer gives tho views of ga Yankee
Farmer" on "Thc Religious Conflict of
the Age" TO the discontinue of the
modern Agnostic, Moralist and Evolu-
ZIONIST. Another trenchant article is
"The Power of Public Plunder," by
James Parton, which appeals to the
sons of our men of character and
wealth, OH patriotic grounds, to enter
into politics, and become the safe
guards of our country against rings
and bosses. Mr.. Henry George dwells
on "The Common Sense of Taxation"
"The Cost ofCruelty" is presented by
Mr.. Henry Bergh, and "a Study of
Tennyson'' comes from the pen of Mr..
Richard Henry Stoddard.
INTERNATIONAL REvIEw.-The July
number of the International Review is
ready and presents variety of excel
lent articles. "The Army Question in
Europe" is discussed by Ii. Won Hoist,

dream of eternal peace the size of ar
mics must be reduced, and the Gefen-
ses made more perfect. Edward At
kinson asks, "What makes the Rate of
Interest?" and answers the question in
his well-known lncid and Interesting
manner. Robert p. Porter, under the
title "Eight Decades of Century"
considers some of the problems raised
by the late census regarding the
growth and character of our popula-
ton. William Myall makes "The
English Evolutlonsist" a subject for a
most interesting article. "The Re-
form in Pronouncing Latin" and
COLONIZATION" by j. Lawrence,
are articles which will be of special in
terest and value to college students
and authorities. "The First San Fran
cisco Vigilance Committee" by Thorn
as c. Cary, is an article with the flavor
of the early and turbulent days of the
golden state about 1t, and win surely
bo read among the first in the number,
which is, as whole, good and wor-
thy one: not, perhaps, as brilliant as
some of its predecessors, but well up to
its high standard.

Donot utter the careless words
20 there is nothing for me to do"
Fields are open on every side.
Waiting for workers strong and true
Golden moments are floeting fast,
Gladly labor while yet you may;
remember, ere it's too late,
somebody's boy needs aid to-day.
We see a stream with surface fair.
The temptor calls with dulcet note:
But gulf OF the dregs of dark despair
Awaits the voyagers as they float
slowly OF from the friendly shore,
Over this stream OF wide renown
Over this river that leads to death,
somebody's boy is drifting down.
Mother, bending with love-lit eyes,
Over the jewels that bless your home;
With rosy dreams of doting heart
Spanning the years that are TO come:
Other lips have been pure as those;
Others have worn that guiless brow
Other mothers have loved-and lost,
Ask tho fiend of the vino cup how
o, by the love you feel for those,
safe in the sound of your cradle song
o., by the beautiful hopes you hold,
Wrcathing manhood proud and strong
falter not though each set OF sun
Find us with aching heart and brow;
Eager to grasp n helping hand,
Somebody's boy is waiting now
Let us labor-with purpose firm,
And with charity full and sweet;
May heaven help us 10 make the path
Easy for all the wayward feet
Count as nothing the sneers we n eet;
Count our happiness unsurpassed,
If by word or deed of ours,
Somebody's boy is saved at last

A DISTINCTION.

The location of an institution known
generally as the pest house, has caused SO
much trouble to the committees of the city
councils of Moline and Rock Island, and
the Board of Supervisors, that it has been
thought advisable to change its name to
that of small pox hospital, and thereby
render it less odious to the average citi-
zen. Several sites have been selected, but
the Immediate residents of the chosen To-
calities arose in arms TO prevent such pol
luton of their native or adopted health
The result has been that the proposed 10,
cation has been changed several times
Everybody appears to feel the importance
of such an institution, and are perfectly
willing to have the location in some por
ton of the city, respectable distance
from their own habitatlon
A joint committee has therefore thought
it best not to give publicity to their acts
and situations until all the arrangements
for the institution have been perfected and
thus to give species of surprise party tc
those who live in the neighborhood of the
"snall pox hospital"
The final arrangements will not be com
pleted until next week

FATAL INJURIES,

Over a month ago young man by the
name of Henry Miner met with an accident
in the railroad yards of this city which
terminated in his death at an early hour
this morning At the time of the acci
dent he was engaged on the c. r. |. 81. P.
construction train, and while making his
way over to the caboosc preparatory to
leaving this city, he was run over by a
freight engine His leg was badly injured,
and amputation was immediately decided
Apon by the physicians called upon to at
tend him. He was conveyed to a board
ing house and properly cared for. Despite
these medical attentions, modification
made its appearance and a second ampu-
tation was found to be necessary. This
was successfully performed, but pyemia
having manifested itself, the patient con
tinued to grow worse, and died this morn
ing from its effects.
He was attended by his parents who
were with him at the time of his death.
His remains viii be conveyed to Vermont,
H., where the funeral viii occur to-mor-

NEW YEARS CALLS.

The first day of the year 1882 falls on
Sunday, and the question is new agitating
the social world whether Saturday or Mon
day should be observed as day for max
ing and receiving calls. The matter is re-
ceiving considerable attention from those
most interested. The prevailing idea is,
however, that Monday will be generally
observed, and with great propriety. The
most convincing argument for observing
Monday is that in case Saturday is observ-
ed, calls will be made and the compliment;
of the new year will be made during one
of the days of the old year. This would
seem to settle the question, and in all prob
ability Monday will be generally observed
by such social amenities as making and re
ceiving the calls of the happy New Year

ACCIDENT.

A few days since, a young man by the
name of g. E. LOOMS, of Cambridge, was
badly injured at Kewanee while attempting
to board a freight train while in motion.
1t appears that he was walking up the
track, mile east of Kewanee, when a
freight train came west, and he attempted
to board it and ride into tswn while it was
running at full speed. As natural result
he fell under the wheels and had leg cut
off above the knee. He lay there helpless
until a wagon could be sent from town to
bring him in, and it was then found that
his pulse was so low that amputation
would be almost necessarily fatal, and
nothing could be done to save his life
He subsequently died of his injuries.
He leaves a young widow at Kewanee,
where he resided previous to his death.

AN EDUCATOR.

Fl. s. Comstock of Henry County has
recently been appointed as member of
the State Board of Education to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr..
Barge. In noting the fact the Geneseo
Republic says; Mr.. Comstock is an old
and able teacher-has grown gray, as it
were, in the cause of education. He has
been honored by the people of the county
by the highest educational position in their
gift-that of Superintendent Of schools
and it is no f1attery to say that he proved
most satisfactory officer during the term.
The appointment to the State Board of
Education has come to him an unsought
and unexpected honor, and that hes will
perform the duties pertaining to the Office
creditably, alike to his constituents and
himself there cannot be doubt.

hausted their list of pulmonics, without
benefit, recommend it as last resort, and
even in the worst extremity its effects are
astonishing. But it should be the first re

SOME GOOD.

An exchange whose writers have Ger
tainly given the subject some study and con
sideration gives its readers the following
concerning the unsettled condition of tn,
thermometer and barometer:
The open, freezing thawing, and rainy
character of the present winter is of grea
benefit to the farming interest in severa
ways. The most important is destruction
of yermin-grubs,- chinch bugs, ETC., fe
whom the snow covering of last winter
was az good as feather bed and the dam
aged crops of the past season were the re
suit. The grazing still continues good
which is important in view of the shor
supply and high price of corn. 1t is inn
portant, too, to poor people everywhere
in the matter of fuel.
