OUT WITH THE TIDE.

Along the glesming silver sand
The tide swings blithely out and in,
The little waves with joyous din
Run up to greet the land.
Behind ron ROXY leck Of mist
That floats above the harbor bar.
With ono oompassioned twilight star,
The sweet moon keeping tryst. E
Slow falls tho night; and waste aud wids,
Above the lone sea solitudes,
Some mighsy spell of sadness broods,
Wrought ty tho murmuring tide. 80

And youth and loving hearts oatweiyh 5
The claims Of rank and gold. ~
Come dearest, why should we delay?

And out into the world so wide

THE ENGINEER CORPS.

For some time past an effort has beer
made to remove the headquarters of the
River Improvement work from this city te
various other river towns, but without eff
feet; and the citizens of Rock Island began
to believe that the location of such head
quarters ia this city was a permanent in
stitution-
Such, however, does not prove to be the
case, if late advices can be trusted; as in
formation has been received to the effect
that the engineer department of the river
Improvement had been changed from this
city to st. Paul, The report has been de
MED by certain members of the staff, but
there is good reason to believe that the st.
Paul people have been working secretly
and with good results, as the engineers
offices, without the order is countermanded
will be taken to St. Paul by the first of
July.
Rock Island, being midway on the river
with whose improvement the engineers are
chiefly engaged, possesses strong reasons
for retaining the headquarters in this city.
A strong effort should be made at once to
request delay if not total abrogation of
the new order removing the engineers from
this city.

FALSE AND TRUE.
We extract from Lr. Radway's s'Treatise on Dis
ease and Its Cure, % as follows:
list OF DIsEAsHs CURED BY
RADWAY'S
Sarsaparillian Rcsolvent.

Chronic Skin Diseases, Carries of the Bone, Ha-
In the Blood, Scrofulous Diseases, Bad or Un.
natural Habit of Body, Syphilis and Venereal, Fee
yer Sores, Chronic Old Ulcers, Salt Rheum.
Rlckets, White Swelling, Scald Head, Uterine At
fections, Cankerss Glanduar Swellngs, Nodes,
Wasting and Decay of the Body. Pimples and
Blotchee, Tumors, Dyspepsia, Kidney and Bladder
Diseases, Chronic Rheumatism and Gout, Con-
sumption, Gravel and Calculous Deposits, and va
rietIes of the above complaints to which some
times are given specious names.
We assert that there is no known remedy that
possesses the curative power over these diseases
step by step, surely from the foundation, and re-
stores the injured parts to their sound condition.
THE WASTES OF THE BODY ARE STOPPED AND HEAL
THY BLOOD SUPPLIED TO THE SYSTEM, from which
new material is formed. This Is the first correc-
tive power of RADwAY's REsoLvENT.
In cases where the system has been salivated,
and Mercury, Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate
have accumulated and become deposited in the
bones, joints, ETC., causing carries of the bones,
ricketts, spinal Curvatures, cOntorlons, white swell
1ings, varieose veins, ETC., the SARsAPARILILAN
will resolve away those deposits and exterminate
the virus OF the disease from the system.
II those who taxing these medicines for the
cure of Chronic, Scrofulous or Syphiltic diseases
find their general health improving, their flesh
weight increasing, even keeping its own, Is a
sure sigh that the cure Is progressing. In these
diseases the patient either gets better or worse
the virus OF the disease is not inactive; If not
rested and driven from the blood it will spread anG
continue to undermine the constitution. AS soon
as the SARsAPARILLIAN makes the patient afeel
better every hour you will grow better and in
crease in health, strength and flesh.

poor little head was one mass of blood.
Having accomplished his internal design.
he left his helpless victim lying mangled

left town. The girl was discovered shortly
afterward by some of the neighbors. to
whom she gave an account of the affair.
