A Dollar Saved.

Mechanics, artisans and laborers must
learn that it is not the SO or the $50 per
week that we receive and spend that
counts in sickness or old age, but the 81
that we save. As evidence I will name
a few instances in Davenport. I could
name many of the dollar-saving people.
Some years ago Mr.. Keyser, a Swede. a
rough carpenter, with family, came to
Davenport with $4 on hand. He worked
for small capitalist with a large credit.

Mr.. Keyser at first received 81. rs a dav.
which was in time increased. His en-
ployer assisted him in purchasing a
home; he saved and built several small
houses, and within eleven years sold out
and purchased large and well-stocked
farm in Kansas for $8, 900 cash. During
the same period Prussian laborer. John
Litze, arrived with his family of five and
few dollars. He went to work for the
same capitalist, and is now working ON
his twenty-eighth year with his first en-
ployer, who purchased for him the half |
block on Ripley and Thirteenth streets,
where he has two fine dwellings, and one
of Davenport's best physicians is his
.enant. He has raised his family and is
clear of debt, and $40, 900 will not pur-

o0NLY sIgTER T0 HLLo

He lifted his face in the starlight dim,
And all that he saw was a round, dull sky;
And the stars that twinkled looked to him
Like the phosphor CLEANS of the FREELY,
The new moon hung in an awkward shape
And was crooked and bent like the horn Of Z
ram;
The sombre naples seemed hung with Grape
And the garden gate banged to with slam
The brook oozed over the Shiny stones
From stagnant pools in the meadow marshi
Or it crooned along with plaintive moans,
And the song of the whip-poor-will was
harsh.
He jabbed his ribs on the clumsy stile,
For dark as pitch was the dusky lane;
And his thin lips curved in bitter smile,
As he smote the weeds with spiteful cane.
Rough and ugly and long was the way,
The skies were dull and the earth was cold;
He hated the night and he dreaded the day,
And his heart seemed hundred centuries
old.
With the dirge of his sighs he timed his tread,
As one who pondereth bitter things;
But he only whispered, with dropping head,
And a heart that wondered" Kicked by

A Priceless Diamond.

Mr.. Porter Rhodes, the fortunate
owner of the priceless diamond that
bears his name, is at present in Paris
awaiting the result of competition be-
tween two millionaires desirous of
possessing the jewel. The stone was
found in his mine at Kimberley, South
Africa, in the beginning of 1880, and
made great sensation among the dig
gers when the discovery was made known
about four months later, Mr.. Porter
Rhodes was obliged to satisfy their curl
osity by exhibiting the diamond. Ac-
cordingly he placed it in friends office,
charged a sovereign for admission, and
in this way received e1OO within the
first two hours. Altogether he made bv
the exhibition 95OO, which he gave to
the local hospital.
On his arrival in England he was
honored with an invitation to Osborne.
in order that Her Majesty might inspect
the stone. He was afterward taken to
Osborne Cottage and had an interview
with the Empress Eugenie. Mr.. Porter
Rhodes considers that his diamond
far surpasses the Kohinoor in purity
it does in weight, the Indian ston
1863 carats, the Cape damon,
about $50 carats. He said to mis- inter.
viewer:
Il shall have at least fulfilled one mis-
'ion-I shall have convinced the world
hat the Cape diamonds are as radiantlv
'ure and blue-white as the Dresden
Irop and the Braganza. I shall thus
lpset one popular delusion."

The Jewelry War.

Following on the heels of the
shoe war comes the jeweley war.
NJ. NJ. Frederick. the Virginia
City iewelsr, has hoisted his flag
and announces C positive fifty-cent
on the dollar reduction in the price
of jswelry. Parties in this city
who have sampled his statement
say that he is actually selling on
this blsis. Some months ago Mr..
Fredericks became involved in a
business war with some Of his com
petitors. eone of whom reduced
goods nearly to cost in order to di-
vert trade. Fredericks learning Of
this. made a flank movement by
reducing the price in some instan-
ces below cost, and now asserts that
if they want to see hina and 60 him
any better he will drop prices
again. Fredericks IS q blooded
man aad Of that stubborn dispO-
sition that he had rather lose &c.
600 in q season than be s:de-tracked
by anybody. Of course the public
are not slow to take advantage of
these opportunities and are crowd
ing in from the neighboring towns
to catch on before the deal is over.

PH1LEDEpHIA, Dec. 2O.-The
| Press says: One of the new aem-
bers from California, who bears the
hist ,ric name Of Summer, proposes
that the Government shall cut down
the excessive passenger charges on
the Central and Union Pacific roads
to par with the charges that are
deemed sufficient on the larger roads
east of Omaha. His bill provides
that fare for first-class passenger
per mile shall not exceed three
cents. This is the average charge
on most of the eastern roads,
though by committing the local
rates are much cheaper. The New
Yoyk Central is limited by law to
two cents a mile a nd makes money
by it. Some Southern roads cearge
as high as five cents mile, without
even getting very far behind bank
ruptcv. At three cents mile the
fare from Omaha to San Francisco
would be ffty-seven dollars it is now
one hundred dollars. The Control
