LETTER FROM GLEN FERN.
Mr., Editor;

Mr.. Editor:
Thinking some of your citizens would
like to come to this romantic part of Hi.
nois on a picnic excursion, refer them to
Camp Ground Springs Immediately on
the line of the Wabash St. Louis and Pa
cifc railroad about one half mile up the
road from Glen Fern, one Of the past re-
sort Of CAIRO eXcursionis:s. The Camp
Ground Springs are fresh, cool water, and
trickle down the hills through ferns and
rock till it cmptes into Cache. Every few
rods on either side Of the hollow which
contains the main brook formed by these
springs, is spring, whilst farther up, are
cedar groves, falls, caves and hooks. |
have recently purchased Glen Fern, and
planted fruit trees and bushes, and shrub
berry on it and it is now closed against all
kinds Of public gatherings. Parties will
not be admitted for love nor money. If
the Cairo or Mound City folks want to
come up on picnic excursion to Camp
Ground Springs" and will drop inc card
a few days beforehand, to Bloomfield,
johnson county, Ills, I will freely spend
day or two in fixing up the springs and
shrubbery of ground. AS for catching
fish, killing snakes, and "nipping daisies,
around Glen Fern, my girl and can tend
to that without any assistance.

Chief Myers and the officers are kept
tolerabIy busy now hunting up and
removing the carcasscs Of dead animals of
various description which lie about the city
in unusually large numbers. The cause of
death is not uniform. Some die of starva-
ton, some of disease, some by drowning in
ponds and others are accidently killed by
wagons and cars. The officers can not of
course, be everywhere at all times; it is not
to be expected that they shall feel the pulse
and thump the chest and examine the
tongue OF every hog, dog cat, chicken and
pet squirrel IN the city, form a careful dag
noss Of the ailments of the sick ones and
trail them all until they shall, either
through disease or accident, depart for the
"shorc upon which the sea of trouble casts
no wave" The citizens must assist the
officers in the discovery Of the dead ami
mails and then all such will be promptly re-
moved

Treasurers than the one in New York.
The demand, however. has not

party he represented. This soon became
known as a "Gerrymander, and the
word was at once adopted into the Eng

the unjust cutting up of a State into dis

The Boston Advertiser makes mention
of the fact that the political changes in
Ohio have been surprisingly sudden and
great. For example, in 1861 Governor
Tod, Republican, had majority of 3d.
2O4. The next year. 1862. was disastrous
to the Republicans throughout the coun-
try. The Democrats of Ohio elected
their candidate for Secretary OF State by
a majority of $500, change of go, 764
in a single year. More remarkable yet
was the result Ia 1868. Mr.. Brough, Re-
publican, had a majority of 100, S82, a
change OF 106, 442 in twelve months. The
three years, 1s76-777s showed the I'M
certaInties of the Ohio vote. The Re
publican majority in 1876 was 6.6S6. and
the Democratic majority in 1877 was
%, $40, a change of 80, 156; but in 1873
the Republicans elected their candidate
for Secretary of State by 1854, change
of 26 GA.

Among other things which the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee an
nounces as the true doctrine in
its weekly broadsides, the Cam
paigner, compiled by Jay Arab Hub
bell, is this: 1.-THE Republican who,
in this campaign-be he leader or be he
henchman-does anything that will
afford aid or comfort to the enemy, is
traitor to the Republican cause, and
should be drummed out of camp to the
tune Of The Rogue's March," Hub
bell goes to the meat of the matter. He
ignores shades of difference. To his
practical" mind there are but two ele-
ments of the G.. o. P.-"leaders and
benchmen." We suspected as much.
He made most happy selection when
he adopted The Rogue's March" as the
tune of bis party though.

and they have accordingly undertaken to

been much lower, were in favor of end
ing the strike, and finally carried their
point. The puddlers accuse President

Protection organs and orators are
harping on the tune Of the ''home mar

though, that the price of wheat is regu-

kets. The crop for this year is esti-
mated at $4,000, 600 bushels. The
manufacturing States in 1880 consumed
only 81, 1852, 5S1 bushels; the other States
276, 534, 900. Where does the balance go
