If there is anything lower, meaner

than insinuation or innuedo, we don't
know what it is. Now if the author

honest man to out with it. through the

General Townsend, speaking ofLee's
detection, tells that Scott sent. for
him from Arlington Heights, where
he was staying with his family. Lee
was at this time, April 10th, 1861,
Colonel of the Second Cavalry, and
was on leaveiof absence. Scott told
him he must prepare for active ser
vice; that those Southern officers who
were ~resigning we're making a fatal
mistake; that the contest might be
long and severe, but the issue would
be eventually in favor of the Union
Lee simply stated that his property
was in Virginia; that his children
would be ruined if they did not &C
with their state; that he could moi
raise his hand against his children
With this the interview terminated
The Supreme Court of the United
States last week rendered a decision
sustaining the constitntionality o
the legal tender acts. Judge Fielf
%dissented from the opinion of the
Court. In discussing the legal ten

mas heretofore been extensively helt
and frequently expressed that Con
gress had power to issue legal ten
ders as q war-measure, but had NJ
such power in time of peaca. Indeed
this seems to have been the chic
point raised in the case just decided
We are gratiied to see that the Su
preme Court does not lay its decision
on any such sandy foundation. Hold
ing that Congress has full ccnstitu

"Such being orr conclusion in til,

of the inadeq uacy of the supply o

it is, as a matter of fact, wise and ex

Rev. Father Wilds'
EXPERIENCE.

The Rev. Z. T. Wilds, we1l-known city
missionary ,n New York, and bratber
of the late eminent Judge Wjids, of the
Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes
as follows:
as E. 5ih ST., Ne,o York, May 16, 1882.
MEssRs. j. c. AVER Il Co., Gentlemen:
uncomfortable itching humor affecting
more especially my limbs, which itched so
intolerably at hight, and burned so intense
ly, that L could scarcely bear any clothing
over them l was also a sufferer from a
severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system a good
deal run down. Knowing the value of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA by observation of
many other cases, and from personal use
in former years, l began taking it for the
above-named disorders. My appetite I'M
proved almost from the first dose. After
a short time the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation of the
were also cured by the same means, and
my general health greatly improved, until
it is now excellent. | feel a hundred per
cent stronger, and I attribute these results
to the use of the S~ARSAPARILLA, which
/ recommend with all confidence as tho
best blood medicine ever devised. [ took
it in small doses three times a day, and
used, in all, less than two bottles. l place
these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, Z.P. WILDs."
The above instance is but one of the many
constantly coming to our notice, which prove
the perfect ~adaptability of AYERS SARsA-
PARILLA to the cure of all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood. and a
weakened vitality.

Orange Blossoms.

Nearly three hundred people, friends
of the groom and the bride, assembled at
ST. Joseph's church last night, to witness
the ceremony that united Mr.. James E.
Boegat to Miss Kitty McParlin for life.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
Father Mackin, in an impressive manner,
after which the young couple adjourned
to the residence of the brides parents on
Fourth avenue, where a reception was
given them. Both the young people are
we'll known in this city, and a host of
friends unite with the ARGUS in wishing
them long life of prosperity and hsppi-
ness.

John F. Dindinger, the well known
printer, had rather curious experience
this morning. John felt 10 his soul yes
terday that he needed Il new pair of pants.
On his way home last evening he dropped
into Boggess and purchased pair. He
took them home, tried them on, and as
they fit he kept them. Last night he
retired to sleep the sleep of the just. This
morning bright and early he awoke and
looked around for bis new panGs. They
were gone. He thought some one was
trying to fool him and had hid the pants.
He got up and went on a still hunt for
them He looked everywhere in the house
but the pants were not to be found. Then
he dOnned the old pair, got his breakfast
and came out on the porch ON his way up
town, and what did he see but his new
pants on the porch. He picked them up.
felt in their capacious pockets to see if
anything had been taken therefrom, when
10 and behold he discovered the fact that
all the money which he had put in his
pockets last hight, was gone. Some
sneak thief had made fake on the
"dust." John will put the pants under
his pillow when he sleeps after this fol
for fear the fellow may take a notion to
come back after them.

The Davenport Races j..

The rain of the preceding night made
the track quite heavy, and in the after
noon when the horses were "rung up"
competent men said the track was several
seconds slow. Consequently fast time
was not to be expected, but the most
sanguine anticipation of holly contested
races were fully realized 1t took four
heats TO decide each race. and the fun was
over by $50 o'clock.
A. b. Rodman's horse, of this city, did
not start in the 2:4S class, which left only
four contestants. This number was les
sened to three after the first heat when
the Florence Herbert was distanced.
Wallace sold as favorite, but as it seems to
be the rule during the meeting, the first
choice was beaten. Rex won this race,
although Wallace gave him all he wanted
to do, winning the second heat, and
pushing him hard in the others. The
time in this race was: 2:359; 2:34; 2:34f ;
2:339. Rex won first money, Wallace
second, and D. Antique third. 1t looked
as though the driver of Wallace pulled
him, as he would keep the lead in each
heat to the three quarter pole, and then
break. The judges did not interfere
however and it is presumed that every.
thing was satisfactory. Frank Landers
was drawn in the free for all trot, leaving
Will Cady, Harry Velox Big Soap and
Foxey to contest for the honors. Harry
Velox sold big favorite, although he
did not win heat. Cady took the first
and Big Soap the next three. Time
1901; 2;31; 2:294; 2:313. viii Cady took
second money, Harry Velox third and
Foxey V fourth. Big Soap is one of the
hardest horses to beat in his class, as he
never breaks, and can always be depend,
ed upon to go at certain gait. The
meeting will conclude with grand pro
gramme this afternoon.

Serenaders.

"There is music in all things if men
only had ears" says Shakespeare, and the
immortal bard was right. At least we
thought so last night, when we heard that
party of young gentlemen who were out
serenading on Twentieth street Their
music was delightful long ways off.
1t reminded us of the whangdoodle
mourning for her lost young, or the dis
cordant yells of the sonorous bull frog,
when he gets Disguised living IN one of
the lower end sloughs. The boys sang
well but they didn't keep any time, for
they were too too" full to know anything
about notes

The Hackmen.

The hackmen are again in the sulks.
Their business, instead of getting better,
is getting poorer. When Foreraugh was
here our hackmen expected to do big
business, but 10 and behold the Moline
hackies swooped down upon the town
like an army with banners flying" and
divided the profits of the day with them.
They think it unfair-and so do we-that
the Moline hackmen are allowed license
for one day, when they-the Rock Island
boys-are here in business all the time.
However, this is a strange, strange world,
and all that's in it is not true gold.
