commenced life school teacher. He was
too lazy to whip the children to death and
the consequence was he made q successful
and popular teacher While pursuing this
occupation he borrowed Blackstone and
commenced reading law, and in 1856 he
was admitted to the bar in Rockport, Indi-
ana. He then engaged in publishing pa
per for one year in Princeton-the Courier
when he sold his printing office and en-
tered upon the practice of his profession in
that town In 1856 he came to Wayne
county, Illinois, landing in the old town of
Fairfield the day of the presidential cleo
ton, He probably now rejoices that he
was deprived of the folly of worse than
throwing away bis first vote for president
on Fremont in that election. In 1851 he
suffered the martyrdom of being imported
into Cairo, as the Republican postmaster
and after filling this position for term,
opened an office and resumed the practice
of law. He was elected, as Democrat to
the legislature IN 1880, and was reelected
in 1882 and is at present member of the
House, where from his first entry he has
been leading member. Linegar is not IN

education has had no attraction for him. II
is SAID thatfor every page of manuscript he
ever wrote there were nearly as many mis-
takes as words and yet his abilities as a
lawyer, politician and orator are of the
highest type. He finds no equals in South
ern Illinois as speaker either before
court, jury OF upon the hastings, and his
friends say OF him that upon a moments

public career on the 18th Of November,

He was then 80 years 10 mouths and %

1t has been suggested that mas
much as Irish paupers have been sent
back to the country from which they
came by the United States authorities,
it is high time that some action be taken
in reference to the importation of Nor
mon recruits from England and Wales.
These recruits svow their purpose to
violate United Stat 8 law; their inten-
tiOns, according To- the almost universal
opinion of our people, are immoral, and
they are moral lepers They lnfest one
OF our richest territories and make life
for good citizens there anything but
pleasant. There ceItLinly is good
ground for the suggestion that they be
sent back. Only last week over 700 of
them were imported. Another cargo is
threatened in a few weeks, and the mis-
slonaries are at work among the vicious
and immoral navvies of the Welsh coal
regions aud the English "Blsck Coun-

Through the energy OF the Boston

are in New England 2,922 SITS of cards
of which the three STATES, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island and Connecticut, hold D.
2s3 sets. OF these, In these three states,
673 are now idle, or about one third. In
consequence the daily consumption of
wool Is reduced 100000 los. As these
states finnish irifie less than one-half
the annual product of the country it is
within reason to estimate th1t the wool

at the present time 10000. 900 lbs less
