GRAND CRYSTAL WEDDING.

Happily for US as people the celebra-
ton of wedding anniversaries is fitting
more and more closely into the niche
designed for it in our modern civilization
| and with each succeeding year there is
apparent more and more of determine
ton to mark these anniversaries, wooden,
tin, crystal, silver, golden, etc. as so
many bright GASES along the matrimonial
highway where it will be found both plea
SAINT and profiF able to rest awhile and ex-
change greetings with our fellow travel
erS
The ARGUS is led toward these refec-
tons by the recollections of one of the
most pleasant wedding anniversaries,
gatherings ever known in Rock Island.
Last evening was the crystal wedding an
niversary of Mr. H B. Sudlow and wife.
Mr.. Sudlow being the esteemed assistant
superintendent of the Rock Island and PEG
ria railway company, and the many friends
OF the esteemed couple determined that the
date should not pass without suitable rec
ognition. To that end nearly a hundred
assembled at the residence with glassware
of every name and nature, and about 10
o'clock all partook of a banquet
which would have been picnic for
even the old fellows who sojourn on Olym-
plan heights. After supper what remain
ed of the evening was most pleasantly
spent in a social way and it was long after
midnight before the last guest had de-
parted and the worthy couple, whose mat
rimonial journey had been thus frightened,
could tread alone the banquet hall
Among the guests present were the fol-
lowing: Mr.. r. r. Gable and wife. Mr.
Phil Mitchell and wife, Dr. S. G. Plummer
and wife, Mr.. j. M. Buford and wife,
Mr. Frank Mixter and wife, MIR.
George w. Gable and wife Mr. William B.
Ferguson and wife, Mrs Milo Lee and
Mr.. S. j. Keator and wife. Mr..
Spencer Drake and sister, Mr. j. r. Mills
and wife, Mr.. Charles A. Rose and wife.
There were about as many friends pres
ent from Davenport as from this CITY but
our reporter was unable to get their
names.
The presents included an elegant lemo-
made set, cut glass bowl with platter, mugs
with platter, ladle, lid, etc. There were
also two pairs of antique spectacles from
Mr.. d. T. Robinson and wife, the pair
designed for Mrs. Sudlow being orna-
mented with red wooleh strings.

THEY NEED A NEW THEME.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat enters its
protest against the tiresome iterations of
the humorous cartoonists who in illustrated
sheets that are funny" for 50 much
week, continue to present the country as
the prey of portion of its people. Ac-
cording to these sheets our moral deformi-
ties far outweigh our virtues. Says the
journal referred to: "Before US is typi.
cal illustration of this drearily monotonous
class of sketches. Liberty is represented
as Andromeda chained to rock, while a
long-tailed, dragon-winged sea-monster,
with the three respective heads of Gould,
Vanderbilt and Field, is approaching to
eat her up. Does any one really think
that either this country or its freedom is
quivering like Andromeda before the de-
stroyer, or that it is actually undergoing
the throes Of destruction, as the extreme
cartoonists insist? If such is the case,
never before did such a robust, growing,
prosperous. jocund and blooming victim
yield itself up to the enemy"

WASHINGTON TERRITORY.
Henry Willard at semitic.

SEATTLE, April 2lst-Henry Willard, Pres.
ident of the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany, and the party accompanying him.
arrived in this city last evening, and were
given a very hearty reception, to which they
responded in most cordial manner. Mr.
Willard to-day visited the Territorial Uni.
versity here, of which he is a substantial ben.
efactor, and declared his intention to CON.
tinue his assistance to that institution. He
drove over the town and back to the lakes,
and asserted that at no other place on the Pa.
cifc coast with which he was acquainted had
there been such rapid growth since his previ.
Gus visit. in October, 1881. At a meeting of
the leading citizens to. day, Mr.. Willard &C.
cepted for the corporation represented by him
tender of $3.50 600 offered by the people az
an inducement to build line of RAILROAD in
the Cedar and Green River valleys, from
fifteen to thirty miles distant, tapping a re.
gion rich in coal, timber and farm lands. He
stated at the meeting that he would come
sgain with his first train from New York
over the completed line of the Northern Pa
ciGc in September next, when he expects to
ride in his own car into the city.

COLLEGE SPORTS.

DIR. McCosh ia out in defense of the
proposition that the colleges Of the country
shall themselves take charge of the CON-
petitive games and sports of students, with
a view of giving them a higher standard.
It must be admitted that students will
engage in them. They will not participate
in exercise for physical culture alone.
Competitive sports only will interest them.
But these TOO often supplant study, and
give a distaste for mental application.
The happy mean, therefore, must be at.
tained-the right relation CT athletic recre-
alton to study. Left to the students, this
will not be properly adjusted; but if
added to the college regulations. if given
official sanction, if the prizes and awards
receive official recognition and bear the
college stamp of dignity and value, the
adjustment may be effected and the end
desired attained. The only difficulty in
the way ia to secure the hearty co.opera-
ton of the student class. That class natu-
rally reaents the interference of the Fac
ulty with its sports. Illicit pleasures Will,
we fear, still be deemed the sweeter. Bat
we believe this desired supervision can be
brought about without friction by giving
the student class representation upon the
college board of management that must be
erected to supervise the recreations. The
chief aim must be to keep the praises and
prizes of competitive exercise in games and
contests subordinate to the loftier rewards
of mental application. In this work the
public and the press have a part to per-
form, which simply is to show by its ap-
plause that it does not recognize the stu
dent who pulls successful oar, or
manifests the greatest endurance in a
physical contest, as a greater hero than
his weaker brother who achieves the high.
est honors that follow conscientious study.
In other words, the achievements of the
college athlete must not be Landed above
the victories of the college student.
