1918 acres for the encampment ground
for the sum of $1,000, which sum will b'
paid for the place should the encampmen
be permanently located there. Yesterda.
a force of men, under the supervision o
Geo. Lewis, began the work of getting thu
grounds in readiness, which will cost, al
told, about 81 900. 1t is the intention o.
the committee on grounds, Messrs. Mayo
Porter, Reed and Lynch, to have the work
done in thorough manner, and the grea
interest these gentlemen take In the matter
is solid assurance that nothing will be
left undone that will in any manner con
tribute 20 the success Of this undertaking
There is underbrush to be cut away, trees
TO be trimmed, ground to be cleansed, roads
to be improved, grass to be cut, seats to be
made, steam pump with piping, to fur
nish water from the spring at the foot OF
the hill, to be provided for, all of which
will be promptly attended to. A week
from next Monday officers and men to the
number of thirty will arrive in this city, to
make all needed arrangements, such as
putting up tents, furnishing supplies, NC.
The location of the encampment at Buffalo
Rock has greatly pleased the officers con
nected with the First Brigade, and they are
50 highly pleased with it that some of them
said they would bring their families along
to enjoy the beautiful location. 1t is un-
questionably one of the grandest spots for
n military encampment in the world, and
the permanent encampment of the state
militia should, as it in all probability will
be, located on Buffalo Rock. The First
Brigade has about 5000 men, all told, com
prising five regiments.

The StHte EnCnm nment.


The long talked of and widely specua
eel upon encampment has at length bee
officially determined upon as to location
the order to that effect having been re
ceived here Thursday forenoon from Ad.
General Vance. Though it had been ger
orally supposed that Buffalo Rock woul'
eventually be selected, yet no order to tina
effect had been issued, and the committee
appointed on Tuesday night were anxiousl,
awaiting the action of the proper authori
ties before taking any definite action in til,
ma ter. Saturday evening last there arrived
on the accommodation from Chicago til,

breakfast at the Clifton, and escorted by &
number of Ottawa's most substantial Citi
zens, they were driven to the proposed site
of the encampment, as selected by Adjt
Gen. Vance, on the Reddick farm, just ives,
of the city limits, but they were not at all
impressed with the location. However
they were prevailed upon to visit Buffalo
Rock, and were delighted beyond measure
with 1t as a camping ground The military
men returned to Chicago on the afternoon
train, and the first move of the citizens was
to hold meeting in Armory Hall Tuesday
evening, at which the following commit

Among the more important appointments
during the past week in which Illinois Ii
interested we're VIM. b. Anderson, OF Mt
Vernon, as internal revenue collector fol
the 18th, and Thomas Cooper, of Pekin, fol
the Springfield district. Both are hailed
as splendid appointments. The following
Illinois presidential postmasters were also
appointed John p Norvell, at Danville
Samuel l.. Berry, at Winchester; John $
Handley, at Fairfield; S. b. Rodebargh
at Crbana; and Clinton Rosette, at Dekalb
But the two In which this immediate 10.
cality Is interested, were A. J. Reddick, at
q a Sale, and Miles j. Finlen, at Streator
Reddick thanks Mr.. Haley, Of Joliet, and
Senator Duncan as chiefly instrumental in
procuring his appointment, and Mr. Finlen
is no doubt indebted to the same parties,
with the help of Col. Morrison. The Chi
cago Times says he was also backed by
Senator Logan, but that is doubtless mis-
take, the Times probably referring to Sena-
tor Duncan. There is no doubt, also, that
John c. Campbell had an important hand
in it. Anyhow, both appointments are
good ones and meet the popular approval

ure, to use "A hackneyed phrase, to sandwich
in Il little politics in this column between
the paragraphs that occasionally speak o
this divine passion. 1t seems to the Cos
siper that the political parties, as they now
stand, may be Iivided into three classes
the suspended partisan the appointed
PARTISAN" and the defensive partisan" TIL,
suspended partisan is the Republican who
by reason Of his being obnoxious, would not
retire until he became suspended partisan
The appointed partisan it one of the individ.
uals, who, by the logic Of political events
made Democratic success possible in No
vember last. His party quietly submitted
to the contingent infamy of rs, which
gave the Republican party an eight years
lease of further power, practically, a revo.
lutionary usurpation of office, and even now,
when honestly defeated, the rascals have not
the manhood to surrender. In this class is
found the defensive partisan. The political
sauce given the goose, should be dished out
to her male prototype. The Gossiper's po-
ltlcal schooling has educated him in the be-
lief that rotation in office is the corner
stone of our liberties, and, when the people
decree that they have lost all confidence in
a party, through its corruption, it should
accept its congo gracefully, and stand not
upon the order of its going, but 90 at once.

A truly touching story is that told by
Gladstone on announcing the death Of Prin-
cess Alice in Parliament, some time ago.
She had been cautioned by the family ply
stefan not to inhale the breath of her little
boy who was i'll of diphthera. The little
fellow was tossing in his bed in the delirium
of fever. The Princess stood by the side of
the child and laid her hand upon his brow
and began to caress him. The touch cooled
his brain and brought the wandering soul
back from its wild delirium, and, recogniz.
around her neck exclaimng: mamma, kiss
me-" The instinct of mothers love was
stronger than science and she pressed her
lips to the poisoned lips of her dying boy
and paid the death penalty with her life,
And there il not mother in all this world
but would not have done the same and so it
will be to the end Of time-the mother will
kiss her darling, the wife her husband and
the lover her sweetheart though death in a

act.
