Burton on Invisible Devils.

With the exception of Ibn Chaldir,
who passed nine tenths of his long life
in public library. Robert Burton, the
vicar of Segrave, was probably the best
read man who ever lived. He had
studied philology, philosophy, theolo-
gy, law, and medicine; he was a first
class mathematician, a jealous astrono-
n1er, and calculator of nativities''; he
had read nearly. every volume in the
BOdleian collection and in the library of
Christ-Church College. He was well
versed in the philosophical speculations
OF the medieval school-men. He had
mastered the inductive system of his
great contemporary. All this learning
did not prevent him from perpetrating
the following dicta:
THE air is not so full of flies in sum
mer as it is at all times of invisible
devils. Fiery devils are such as com
monty work by blazing stars, fire
brakes, or tgnes fdtat (Which lead men
often an funatrad ait progctpittG), whom,
If travellers wish to keep off, they must
pronounce the name of God with clear
voice, or adore him with their faces in
contact with the ground Aerial devils
are such as keep quarters in the air,
cause tempests. thunder and lightning,
make it rain stones, wool, frogs, etc
Subterranean devils are as common as
the rest, and do as much harm. The
last are conversant about the center of
the earth, to torture the souls of damn
ed men to the day of judgment; their
egress and RECESS some suppose to be
about Etna, Lipari, Terra del Fuego(D,
etc, because many shrieks and fearful
cries are continually heard Whereabouts,
and familiar apparitions of dead men,
ghosts, and COLLINS. The devil being
slender and incomprehensibie spirit,
can easily insinuate himself into human
bodies. A nun did eat lettuce without
grace, or signing it with the sign Of the
cross. and was instantly possessed. -

| by the incumbent of This Office who has
any intention of making an effort TO do
his duty. fully and impartially. We re
gard Mr.. Corbett's nomination as the very
strongest in every particular, which could
have been named.
IL is not necessary to introduce Mr.. j.
NJ Buford, cashier of the First National
Bank, to our readers as the Democratic
candidate for treasurer, neither would Ii
be in good taste to pass upon his reputa
ton in words of eulogy His nomination
is most excellent one, in fact the best
which could have been made, and his

bors. regardless of political affiliations will

He has heretofore been tried in the same
balance and has not bLen found wanting.
For assistant supervisors Messrs. Far
rell. Hoffman, Stark and Engel are all
we'll known citizens. the pre-eminent fit
ness of each OF whom for the office named
goes unchallenged. We hope 30 chronicle
the election of each by satisfactory ma
jority.
The convention could not have made q
better nomination for assessor than that
of John Barge. An old resident of Rock
Island, he is as well posted respecting
values as the best, and few there are who
equal him. Mr.. Barge ought to be elected
by good majority.
Votersl Scan the democratic ticket
closely, from top to bottom. and if you
desire thorough administration of
public affairs for the coming term you
will not only support it at the polls as
individuals, but you will pull off your
coats and work with viii for it.
La Mr.. John F. McKibben, the popular
agent of the American Express company
at this point, the convention recognized
frst-class material for the collectorship.
Mr.. McKibben is just the sort of man to
make an efficient collector, and being cen
trally located, his selection for the place
would give unbounded satisfaction TO our
citizens generally.

Ahont Canary birds.


The cost of keeping canary birds is
seldom thought of. The canary is the
pet bird of the rich and poor; it is ev-
erywhere, and its keeping involves an
immense amount of money in the ag-
gregate. A gentleman who has for
several years been extensively engaged
in the trade of bird-seed, and who is
excellent authority, informs us that he
has the statistics to prove that there
are now fully 100000 of these pets
in this country. Each bird will use
twelve pounds of seed per year, if not
overfed, and unfortunately for them,
they generally get too mach. Thus it
takes los, 900, 600 pounds of seed to feed
them through year, worth at least
$14, 000,0 900. Besides this seed, as any
one knows, is the sugar, the crackers,
the eggs and the thousand and one
things that different keepers supply
them with.
Again, we have a great expense in
cages. There are now twenty-five man.
ufactories of bird cages in the United
States. One of the most extensive of
them turned out 81 900, 900 worth of
cages last year, and will this year add
largely to the amount. The whole cost
of cages made last year is estimated at
nearly $3,000,0 900. This gives for the
two items of seed and cages the snug
little sum of $17, 900, 600
But, after all. is the bird not worth
all the people pay for its keepinga How
it instills into the children love of mu-
sic; and its examples of cleanliness as it
takes its regular morning bath is bene-
fetal in the extreme. 1t thus adds
beauty, music and instruction to all our
homes.

THE c., RI. az. IN ST. PAUL.

The st. Paul Pioneer Press tells of a
new entrance for the Chicago. Rock Island
g. Pacific railroad into st. Paul, as fol
lows:
The rumor has again found expression
that the Rock Island road will make its
entry into st. Paul proper by way OF
West st. Paul, over bridge to be erected
opposite that portion of the city; and
with depot facilities at both ends. 1t has
been further limited that prominent
banker of st. Paul was acting in fidu-
ciary capacity for the purchase OF lands
for depot purposes. and that the time was
not far distant when the Rock Island
would show Its hand and begin opera
tons. How true or untrue these rumors
may be time only will determine. The
banker mentioned was sought for yes
terday. but was found to be absent,
as was also another gentleman who
has been identified with the proposed I'M
dertaking. It was, however ascertained
from gentleman presumably in posi-
ton to know that something of the kind
was in contemplation. He stated that
the feasibility of securing condemnation
of the West st. Paul levee for depot pur
poses. had been mooted, but was unable
to detail the result. Should this rumoret
projected movement be decided upon, say
authorities, the Rock Island will. upon it
completion, run fast express. composed
OF elegant coaches and sleeping cars
through from Chicago, making but linn
lted number OF stops at points in coun
! try tributary to st. Paul. and otherwis
add to the benefits of the city. The ven
+ ture IS yet, SO far as can be ascertainet
in embryo, but in brief period. event
may SO shape themselves that the tril
inwardness of the business will be lai
bare for public consideration.
