and think it's immense,
The assortment is large and the
style, elegance;
Every story and department is
as full as it can be,
And how it pays here We really
can't see.
Now, really Mrs. Brown, know
we cannot do better,
You see yourself the goods are
as represented to the letter;
But, really Mrs. Jones, can't
decide just yet,
And before l shall purchase |
want to see another set.
You've heard Of the village on
the other side of the creek,
And there we will go at the end
of the week,
l don't object to have people
look round,
To see where the best goods Tor
the least money are found.
Iknow that I cannot be under
sold,
However, if say so, they think
| am bold;
I want to treat every one fair
and square,
In this way l think | will get
my due share.
My business is built up on prac-
teal experience,
And spiced from the start with
true perseverance;
Its hard to start without any
money,
And those who have tried it
know it is not all honey.
The next week my customers
came back as expected,
Their tour of exploration they
had just perfected,
No where in these parts could
they do so we'll,
So they decided to come back
to G. G. KNELL.
They admitted that my styles
in every way did excel,
And there was more to select
from they could truly tell;
My stock entire was ahead of
any they had seen,
For through every store over
there they had been.
70 sell them now was as easy
as rolling off log,
For the skies had got clear and
they were out of the fog;
They concluded hereafter it was
useless to look around,
For right here in Rock Island
to buy they were bound.
Why carry the money away
from the town,
While all that is spent here
helps us all around;
We shall support home industry
every time if we ken,
For l make most my goods and
employ number of men;
They all have to live and spend
their money right here,
And that is the way to keep the
machine in good gear.
Now in conclusion my friends,
just wish to say,
If you want Furniture and Car
pets just come this way;
And if perchance, ] cannot suit
you,
There is no harm in seeing what
/ can do.

@. KNELL.

Two ladies went out to buy up
some goods,
To make a success they hunt up
every nick of the woods;
TO start let us see what kNELL
has got,
For at home here we will COM
mence on the spot.
They look through the stock
and think its immense,
The assortment is large and the
style, elegance;
Every story and department is
as full as it can be,
And how it pays here we really
can't see.

FORCES.

There is no doubt that at present
the real dominating populations of
the world are those speaking the
English language. Wherever there
is English, there is neral influence,
and that influence is sometimes for
the better and sometimes for the
worse. Whether for good or evil,
the ways of the English-speaking
races impress themselves upon the
manners and institutions of every
people with whom they come in con-
tact. Wherever found, in COM
munity or in isolation, there is a
bond of sympathy or rather a COM
bination of bonds that makes them
practically Il united body. The
estimate has been made by John
Bright, of England, that the Eng
disappearing people in the world
number 100, 900, 200, and that at the
end of the century this number will
probably be doubled. There is no
race of people so widely dispersed
over the face of the globe. Among
the ice and snow of the north, and
in the sweltering heat of the torrid
zone, the rugged vernacular as we'll
as the polished phrase of the Eng
lish language is heard. There is
no getting away entirely from it.
1t is one of the marvels of the diffu
sive and controlling energy OF Eng
disappearing people that their Ian
guage has been adopted jointly with
the Hawaiian, as the national Ian
guare of these Islands. At the same
time it is consistent with the eternal
fitness of things that such should be
the case. Through the medium of
English, all that the Hawaiian knows
of development, progress and re-
form have been conveyed to him.
And what is not so creditable to the
donors is the fact that many of the
denominations of modern society,""
as Talmage designates them, have
been borne upon the wings of the
same wind, and buried themselves
on to the practices of ancient
heathenism, so that the ill disposed
of the native people are thrice worse
than they were in their primitive
state; while only those amenable
to salutary influences are in any way
improved by the changed conditions
of their social life.

Cox had his first interview with Said
Pasha, the Grand Nlzier, on the lth
inst, concerning the tariff laws af-
fecting trade with the United States.
EsA new Tichbornc claimant has
turned up in Washington. His story
is that, on the voyage from his home
to Australia, about 25 years ago, he
was shipwrecked on an island, taken
off by passing ship and carried TO
San Francisco. He afterwards went
to New York, enlisted in the navy,
where he was not treated we'll, and
deserted. The next turn of the
peripatetic wheel threw him into the
state of matrimony. He subse-
quently enlisted in the army, had
the finger of his left hand shot off,
and was also shot in the body.
Then, after II spell of mcutal aber-
ration from the effects of his wounds,
and several years work as day
laborer on ranches in Southern Cali
fornia, he discovered that he was en-
titled to a pension, applied and got
it; and now is going to spend the
money in an effort to establish his
claim to the Tichborne title. BY
the time he becomes earl of Itch
borne, his estimate of the value of
real estate will have been consider
ably modified.

Substitute for Alcohol,

Temperance people who think it wrong
for doctors to prescribe alcohol will be i'll.
terested to know that medicine has been
found which may, in many diseases, lie sab
stitutsd for it. DR.. Burroughs, in The
Therapeutic Gazette, states that nitro
glycerine as Il heart stimulant is far SUI
perior to brandy, and may be given with
conf lence whenever the administration of
brandy is indicated, Two drops of a l per
cent. solution are equivalent to an ounce of
brandy, and the effects of the drug are felt
immediately. 1t creates no unnatural crav-
ing. The doctor gives detailed account of
the case, in which he la, employed it, and
finds, after an extensive experience, that it
is of great value in shock from accidents,
faintness after surgical opeIation', failure
OF the hearts action due to chlorolorm,
