Importation Of Butchers.

A Democrat reporter met one OF the
prominent citizens Of Rock Island in
Davenport this morning, and asked him
how the people of his town felt concern
ing the abattoir controversy. He said he
believed that, as rule, the people were
with the city council. Il know quite a
number of citizens who have agreed that
if the butchers they pauonize do not ac>
cept the abattoir ordinance, they will buy
their meat in Davenport. l have no OBJ
lection 70 telling you, he continued,
that am here now 10 induce a young
man who was formerly a butcher in Gen
eseo, to open a shop in Rock Island with
another young man, who is willing to
comply with the abattoir ordinance. If
the Rock Island butchers do not accept
the abattolr ordinance, we will find butch
ers who will. This is the feeling of the
intelligent classes in Rock Island. DAY

The people want facts. Therefore,
when the question is asked, What IS the
best medicine now known the answer
is freely gwen, "MishleT's Herb Bitters.
Why: Because it IS proven BY facts, and
facts are stubborn things. These facts
are the many cures, some Of them border
ing on the miraculous, performed by
MlshleT's Herb BltteTs, the innunerable
certificates received from al classes of So
ciety attesting their great curative prop
critics and the endorsement Of well known
medical men as to its value in the treat
ment Of dyspepsia and all diseases Of the

hem, Pennsylvania, which you probably
know was Moravian settlement. Don't
YOU remember Lonfellow's poem called
A HYMN of the Moravian Nuns at
Bethlehem?' He speaks in that of
cowled beads and tapers and ceusers. 1t
is beautiful poem. but the Moravians,
as saw them, had no such things. They
were simple. frugal, and industrious
people. very religious, and very fond of
music, but their church services we're
very plain. The men and women were
divided, as at Quaker meetings, and |
saw no censers or cowled heads. a po-
ct, however, is allowed to use his minds
eye. But their customs were very pref
ty. and they made much Of Easter and
Christmas, especially the latter.
In every household there was not en-
ly an exchange of gifts and much re-
joicing. but for many days previous there
had been extensive preparations in the
way of decorations. Not OILY did each
family have tree-and it did not mat
ter whether there were children or only
old people in the family-but each tried
to outdo the other in the especial beauty
of its Christmas 'Putz,' as l think they
called the lovely bowers of evergreens
in their parlors.
On broad stand covered With green
muslin and we'll hidden by boughs and
branches four pillars we're raised. These
we're twined with ivy and holly or
ground pine. Within this enclosure, and
within its leafy canopy, was the Christ
mas tree, glittering with sugar fruit
and waxen tapers. At its base was a
field of moss, through which ran a
sparkling stream, made of glass some+
times, but usually of real water, which
played in fountain jets or tumbled in
mimic cascades over tiny rocks. On the
moss was representation of the mans
ger, the Holy Child, and the shepherds
with their woody hocks. Waxen angels
(made at the Widows and Sisters hous>
esq hung lowering over these figures,
Visitors were expected TO go about from
house to house to see these pretty dec
orations, and cOffee-a favorite beverage
was always Hospitality offered.
In the Moravian Church on high fes-
tivals they always had brass Instru-
ments in addition to the organ, and many
choristerS made sweet harmony. But
children, l really must stop talking, for
Christmas is so fascinating that might
keep on all night; only before l stop let
me beg you all to remember when you
hang up your stockings that there are
many, many poor little feet without
stockings whose owners hearts you may
help to make glad, and the sweetest
blossom on the Christmas-tree is the
flower of Christian love.'-W. j. Hays in

LAST HOURS OF ROBT. TOOMBs
Denial of the Declaration About Call
ing the Roll of His Slaves.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 16-The fol.
lowing account is given of the last hours
of the illness of Robert TooDbs:
He was stricken with paralysis about
three months ago, and had since been
confined to his room, during which time
his mind had been more or less clouded
AT times he would in his thoughts again
go through tie stormy debates of hi:
past life. At other times, when he did
not at all comprehend his Immediate sur
roundings, his mind would be perfectly
clear as to events of his past life. AL
most every day up to last Wednesday ht
would sit up in his easy chair, but OIL
Thursday he began to grow worse. Par
alysis was more perceptible than eyel
before. The left side of the face wa:
very much drawn and distorted. He
was unconscious from last Friday. Du'
ring his entire illness he seemed to be
free from pain. He died as peacefully
as little child falls to sleep. His death
bed was surrounded by his four grand
children, all grown, an only brother, &c
whom be was very devotedly attached
and other relatives. These four grand,
children constituted his entire family
being the children of his daughter, Mrs
Dubose, who died nearly twenty years
age. His home people we're very much
attached to him, and the town is in deep
sorrow. The value of the property be
leaves is varIeusly estimated at from
S3OO,OOO to S5OO,OOO.
In recent interview one of the most
noted sayings attributed to Gen. Toombs
was repudiated by him in the following
language: 81 never said that would
live to call the roll Of my slaves at the
foot of Bunker Hill monument. That
was fancy lie started by Jack Hale, OF
New Hampshire"
