HE COMES TO TIME.
Hon. J. Il. Murphy,

The assault made on Congressman
Murphy at the meeting last night was
simply outrageous, in charging him with
aiding the bridge railway bill TO the in
jury of Henhepin The canal bill is on
the calendar for general bills and the
Murphy bridge railway on the private
calendar. Both have been reported on
favorably. and are ready for vote when
reached. Each calendar has different
days for considering and passing bills
There is no possible chance for any con-
flict in the progress of each branch Be-
sides, our Congressman arc making every
effort to get Hennepin bill attached to
the river and harbor bill. This is difficult
to do, but il successful, Hennepin will
go through with boom. In charging
Mr.. Murphy with obstructing Hennepin
in any way, is indirectly charging Mr..
Niece and, General Henderson as aiding
him. This whole affair is simply infam-
Gus, and the ferry company is responsible
for it.

Bold, Bad Boys

A few weeks ago, two well known
young men of this city INDUCED in a
friendly boxing match, for the purpose of
developing their talents in that line with
the view to challenging the gifted gentle.
man of Boston They were staunch
friends, i'll feeling between them being as
foreign to both as is water to the aforesaid
Iubbite. During tie mill each showed
considerable pugilistic skill, but the
larger of the two was short winded. After
a bout of ten minutes duration, he called
halt and dropped his knuckles, prepara-
tory to removing the gloves. Selling the
opportunity, the other playfully tapped
him on the nose, causing the red, red
claret to shoot forth in rosy stream.
This was too much for No.
/. He forget their friendship,
forgot their appreciation for each other,
forgot everything but his bleeding nose,
and then and there challenged number
two to q deadly combat. The challenge
was accepted, gloves chosen as weapons,
and next Sunday morning, when the sun
god harnesses his undying horses to the
chariot OF fire and begins his journey up
the heights of heaven, this awful battle
will be fought. Number Ole says that
when number two arises from where he
lays him there will be dirt in his hair, his
eyes and his ears, while number two is
still more confident of his ability to knock
the other out. We await the particulars
with breathless interest.

Little Minnie.

Again has the icy king of terror visited
our city and taken away from happy
household its cherished idol, little Minnie,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Hilfinger
Minnie had been i'll only two short days,
but the ravages of that dread disease,
dphtheria, could not be stopped, though
everything that human hands could do
was done. The funeral services will take

and the opening buds, this sweet little
blossom, too fair and beautiful for this
earth, will be consigned to its last resting
place IN the silent city of the dead "

Wanted to Run AWAY,

This morning a sweet, blue eyed little
lass, named Cora Wagner, came to the
conclusion to leave the city in conOg The
little girl was only 10 years old. This
morning she cleaned her clothing, ate her
breakfast and waltzed down to the Mil,
waukee depot where she got on board the
train She said she was going to Clinton,
Iowa, although she didn't have a cent of
money. She had not been in the coach
over five minutes until a lady-pre-
sumably her mother-rushed frantically
in the depot enquiring if anyone had seen
little girl. She was informed that her
little angel was on the train. She made a
break for the train and exclaimed, ooh,
Cora Wagner, what do you mean-where
are you going?" She gently took the little
one by the hand and assisting her out on
the platform; marched across the street
and then down Second avenue. The
little one went with her, bawling as if her
heart would break.

Took a Ride.

When the Rock Island house bus ran
away yesterday, it had on board little
newsboy, familiarly known as Dutchy
He was standing on the steps of the bus
when the team started. From the steps he
got up into the bus and tried to climb on
top, but got scared and climbed out on
the steps again, and as the bus arrived
near the Harper house, he jumped of. He
lit on his side but he rolled onto bundle
of papers he had in his arms. Fortunately
for him he lit in soft place. and was not
injured to any great extent.

Spring

Now dawns once more the era OF fresh
butter, new laid eggs and cackling hens;
again bursts into bloom the hepdtica and
hand organ. Immature veal invades the
sanguinary market and melancholy cows
go lowing for calves that are not Chickens
make love under the currant bushes, and
the chameleon tree toad MARBLES its YES
per hymn from the imperial poplar. Litters
of vernal pigling suddenly populate old
mud holes in quiet neoks. The cowslip
blossoms in the vale, and cats wall their
ballads of platolic love, and their wild
songs of impending conflict from the
whitewashed battlements of the hen coop.
The robin pipes his roundelay in the
sleeper's ear at dawn, sweet as the solemn
song ascending from the choral throat of
the unannointed cartwheel. = Turtles shout
to each other across the intervening
marshes, Dragging of posthumous terrapin
soup; the crow chances down with calm
serenity upon the. arabic land. and the
unawed angle worm gazes path etically
up as he rolls from the verge of the aveng
cling plowshare. 1t is spring.

disciple of Isaac Walton would have gone
into ecstacies Tuesday morning to see the
abundance of angle worms which were
spread over the ground in the court house

worms dropped from the clouds in the
warm rain that fell in the early morning
Others say the worms were enticed from
their holes by the warm ram Wherever

suit, when w. H. Lundy appeared after
repeated calls. He saw no reason why
he should be selected to speak when there
were SO many others present that were
better orators than he. The meeting in
his opinion, was called solely in the i'll

hearu that if anybody talked about
anything else, he ought 10 be thrown out

less some effort was made to bring to

would be lost. In regard to the attack
made upon Mr. Murphy, he did not think
il was true, aud that Murphy would not
dare to neglect the Hennepin canal and
push the horse railway bill in ahead. He
thought Mr.. B. d. Buford would be a
suitable gentleman to go to Washington
IN the interests of the canal, but Mr.. Blu :
