Caught Ills Fish,

During the war of the rebellion, in
company |, of the 18th Illinois infantry
was German soldier, who, when not on
duty, would sit for hours fishing IN the
camp kettle. He would dig worm, bait
his hook, then sit quietly down before that
kettle and wait for bite, regardless Of the
laughter and jeers of his comrades. Fl
nally the rumors OF his strange conduct
reached headquarters, and the matter being
looked into, the man was considered in
sane and discharged. Throwing away his
rod and line, he SAID: 81 guess will have
no more need of them; that is what was
fishing r"-Er.

A Question OF Plagiarism.
MARsEILLEs, Sept. 8, 1882,


To tic Ottapa Republican In your Is
sue OF August Dist notice strange story
A bigger lie or meaner Islander could moi
be invented. 1t is as follows "Mr. Deane,
of Marsellles, recited piece of poetry
which he fou'M IN q Jooh years ago, and
by some ingenuity paraphrased it so as TO
fit Illinois in the fever and ague times o..
long ago"
Where did you get your information, or
did you manufacture it yourself in spite 10
one who had strongly opposed tor noml-
nation for member of congress the present
incumbent, whom did then. and yet do,
firmly believe far the inferior of his rival
candidate in Ottawa, Mr.. Bushnell? How
can, or how must, any one look at 1t, or
upon me, as but the meanest kind of a liar
and thief (plagiarisD, taking 1t from your
standpoint, when plainly and distinctly
stated before the audience, of probably
over 1000 people, that | wrote 1t for the
closing part of long description of this
state at the then present time, 1871 (having
come here in 1870, to my friends in Frank
lin county, MalAe, who had 1t published
In their county paper and Il now say sent
some copies which were, or the closing
stanzas, copied in several of the papers in
this state that year, the whole description
occupying several columns III the Frank
lin county paper "a good.sized paper, and
that in or about 1S43 or 1874 Gedney, the
editor Of the Ottawa COnstituttoaalist-o of
which your Republican, is the relic-heard
about 1t and got me to write it for him,
and he then published 1t in his paper; and
it was never published or printed until
from my manuscript in the Franklin
county paper soon alter written in 1S41.
How then about my finding 1t In a book
years ago? Ingenuity" you speak of IN
'Paraphrasing" it2 Where can enough be
found in paraph,usiRg 1t to change any
modern stanzas so as to fit every point
spoken of as that does OF the "faver and
ague times of long ago" in Illinois, and
every other blessing or privation we en-
Joyed or had to endure? | confess never
had that ingenuity, and think it hard to
be found
What must the people in general, and
especially those publishers tor whom
have been in the practice of writing for the
past fifty years and more, think of 1t who
chance to read that paragraph?
Well, | do not see how they can help
thinking
You have run mad; or that it's true
That you have lost your reason;
Or else the devil is let loose
For his last little season
Now, sir, what not only ask nut tie
mand, as the least ynu can do under The
circumstances, rs 10 correct your error fully
and plainly, and make the plaster as hroa

The petals of the June roses had fallen
like pink carpet along the edge Of the
woods, contrasting prettiIy with the vivid
green Of the grass and leaves. Above the
hum of insects and the twittering of the
birds rose the sturdy voice of Farmer
Brown, swearing at the off mule. Get
up, darn lt!' he said. But the mule only
waved his ears in sensuous languid fash.
ION, and looked wisttully into the next
meadow where the starry.eyed kline were
grazing, and the old sorrel mare that had
splint on her near front leg was quaffing
the incense Of the newborn day. Picking
up short stick the farmer advanced and
struck the faithful mule cruel blow just
abaft his midship ribs. Stretching out his
hind legs IN dreamy, listless way, the
mule felt them touch something, and in a
moment Farmer Brown was sailing in the
far blue overhead

Come listen to my story;
In Illinois yOu are the boys

You eastern lads, now quit your dads,
Nor scorn my invitations;
There's not state, however great,
So great for speculation.
Young ladies, too, write to you,
In hope | here may lead you;
And If swain you wish to gain
There's plenty here who need you.
And refugees of all degrees,
If home cannot content you,
OF boys and lakes and ague shakes
You here can find plenty.
Then haste away, make no delay,
Nor stay at home complaining
And toll and sweat and get in debt
When wealth you might be gaining.
Good village lots and building spots
And many prospect fair
And cities rising, quite surprising,
Like castles in the air.
And prairie grounds beyond all bounds
Where you can soon make money,
And sites for mills and springs and rlls
Flowing with milk and honey.
Good iohnnycakes and rattIesnakcs.
And bedbugs in great numbers;
Mosquitoes come with musical hum
To cheer your midnight slumbers.
Deep muddy roads and frogs and tosds
Mud chImneys and log houses
And many a grove where Won can rove
To sooth your homesick spouses.
