The soldiers home mission resum
tcrday. A number of ballots were taken
at their two siltings. with no material
change in the phase of their respective
position They observe the rule of re-
liccnce respecting their work as closely
as ever. A large number of persons are
prese Mt from Decatur, Dixon, Blooming>
ton, Rock Island, Alton. and Peoria. "Thc
feeling of rivalry runs pretty high, says a
Chicago telegram, and to casual obser-
yer it would seem that the actual fight is
on the outside That which seems to
most worry the visiting delegates is the
impossiblity of doing any log rolling, or
to f orm any sort of combination. 1t need
not he cause of surprise that the CONS
mission are so long in deciding the qnes>
ton, when one considers the fact that
each of the commissioners represents an
interested constituency which stands be
hind him and holds him responsible, in
no small degree, for his failure to secure
the home at a certain point. 1t would
seem that The question of locality
is paramount to that of the home in the
true sense, that it is intended more for
the benefit of some certain community
than it is for the comfort of the soldier.
These commissioners occupy very ems

barrassing position. an their task is
delicate one. When the commission
which located the asylum at Anna. H.,
were settling the problem before them,
they balloted for three weeks before a
conclusion was reached. They were
paid for their labors at $40 per day.
This soldiers home commission get no
pay for their services, and they will be
the recipients of a storm of mingled
thanks and oprrobrium when their task
is ended, wherever they may locate the
home. Some of the eager volunteer
delegates from around the fringe of the
state, beyond the reach of the center of
population, declare that the Illinois Gem
trail railroad is making fight to have ii
located at some point along the line of
their road, and these nccusrrs point to
the strong delegations from Dixon,
Bloomington, and Decatur in proof of
their assertion"

A HEAVY LOSS.
Three Thousand Bushels of Wheat
Representing IA Many Dollars.
Sunk Near the Moline Chain.

AS the Sidney was coming down
over the rapids this morning, she met with
an accident inv olving heavy loss to her
owner. Diamond 10 Reynolds. Besides
two immensely laden barges of grain, the
property also of Mr. Reynolds. The river
is very shallow at the present time and
navigation is difficult for single crafts,
much less with one or more barges. As
the Sidney was entering the Moline chain,
the barge Huldah, on her right side,
departed from the ordinary channel of the
river, large rock throwing her to one
| side. 1t was too late to back out, so rather
than cndanger the boat and the other
barge, Rapids Pilot Hight went ahead aud
soon succeeded through a series of skill
ful maneuvers to get the disabled barge
on shoal water, she being already partly
| filled the rock having broken her hull
She soon sank but not to the depth she
| would have in the main channel The
| Sidney then came on to this city.
The loss, which is wholly on Mr.. Rey,
nolds, the barge and wheat both being
his property, will be in the neighborhood
of 81, 900 or So, 900. There were thrle
thousand bushels of bulk wheat, worth
about 81 per bushcl. The barge will, of
course, be raised as soon as possible and
an attempt made to save a portion of the
grain The wheat was in shipment from
Dubuque to st. Louis. The loss to tht
barge will be $500. The property is al
insured. and Mr.. Reynolds losses will b'
something like 81, 800 over the insur'
ance.
No blame can be attached to the pilot
who is one of the most experienced ant
proficient on the Mississippi. The boa
had too many barges for the present stage
of the water, and the majority of pilot
would probably not have got through a
successfully as Mr.. Hight did.

Negotiations are pending between the

&C. 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 it's immense,
The assortment is large and the
style, elegance;
Every story and department is
as full rs 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 | shall purchase L
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,
! don't object to have people
look round,
To see where the best goods for
the least money are found.
know that | cannot be under
sold,
However, if | say so, they think
am bold;
l want to treat every one fair
and square,
Tn this way 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; T.
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.
To 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 islam
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 | make most my goods and
employ a 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,
lust wish to say,
If you want Furniture and Car
pets just come this way;
And if perchance, l cannot suit
you,
There is no harm in seeing what
| can do.

A Divers Good Fortune.

The old divers are fond of receunting
the glories of their craft and are
specially impressed with any informa-
tion as to the fate of the vessels of the
Armada. This spirit has been fostered
no less by the successes of the ancestor
of the Mulgraves than by the good for
tune of John Gam, of Whitstable,
England. The old diver was, many
years since, employed on the Galway
coast and used to pass his evenings in a
public house frequented by fishermen.
One of these men, repeating tradition
which had long existed in the district,
told Gam that one of the Spanish YES
sells had been wrecked not far from the
coast and intimated that he himself
could point out the spot. Gam, hav-
ing finished his special job, made terms
with the fisherman and they were both
out for many weeks dragging the spot
indicated for any traces of the wreck.
They were at last rewarded by coming
upon distractions with their grapnels.
Gam brought out his diving apparatus,
and sure enough the truth OF the
tradition was indicated by the finding
of number of dollars which had origi-
nally been packed IN barrels. The bar
rels, however, had rotted away and left
the gold stacked in barrel shape With
the money SO recovered John Gam
built at Whitstable, his native place,
row of houses, which to commemorate
the circurNstSsee, be called "Dollal
Row."

InfantiIe instinct.

Chickens, two minutes after they
have left the egg, will follow with their
eyes the movements of crawling insects
and pick at them, judging distance and
direction with almost infallible acc ura-
cy. They will inStinctlvely appreciate
sounds, readily running toward an in
visible hen hidden in box when they
hear her call Some young birds also
have an innate, instructive horror Ofthe
sight of hawk and the sound of Its
voice. Swallows, titmice, tOmtits and
wrens, after having been confined from
birth, are capable of flying successfully
at once when liberated, on their wings
having attained the necessary growth
to render flight possible.
The Duke of Argyll relates some very
interesting particulars about tbs in
stinct of birds, especially of the water
Ousel, the merganser and the wild duck.
Even as 10 the class of beasts find re-
corded: Five young pOlecats were found
comfortably imbedded in dry, wither-
ed grass, and in side hole of proper
dimensions for such larder were forty
frogs and two tOads, all alive, but mere
ly capable of sprawli-g little. On eX-
the whole number, toadS and
all, proved to have been purposely and
dexterously bitten through the brain.
Evidently the parent pOlecat had thus
provided the young with food which
should be kept perfectly fresh because
alive, and yet was rendered quite una
bic to escape.
This singular instinct is like others
which are yet more fully developed
among insects, class of animals the in
stinctS of which are so numerous, Won
derful and notorious that it will be pro-
badly enough to refer to one or two ex-
ampleS. The female carpenter bee, in
order to protect her eggs, eXcavates IN
some plece of wood a series chambers. /
in special order. with view 10 a pecu- |
liar mode of exit for her young, but the |
young mother can have no conscious |
of the series of actions sub |
to ensue. The female of the |
wasp, sphex, affects another we'll !
known but very remarkable example of |
a complex instinct closely related to /
that already mentioned in the case OF |
the polecat. The female wasp has to |
provide fresh, living animal fOOdfO her |
progeny, which, when it quits its egg, |
quits il in the form of an almost help |
less grub, utterly unable to catch, re-
tain or kill an active, struggling prey. !
a accordingly, the mother insect has not !
only to provide and place beside her |
eggs suitable living prey, but so treat it |
that it may be d helpless, unresisting |
victim. That victim may be mere |
or it may be great, pow
erful grasshopper, or even that most |
fierce, active and rapaclous of insect /
tyrants, a fell and yenOmOus spider. |
Whichever 1t may be, the wasp adrOit-
y stIngs it at the spot which induces,
1r IN the several spots which induce,
paralysis as to motion let us
hope as to sensation also. This done,
.he wasp eDtombs the helpless being
with his own egg and leaves 1t for the
support of the future grub.

could net supply. Was it strange that
she should have sought abroad what
she could never hope to find In her own
homer Then, too, the deed was ire
yocable; no amount of opposition could
render the marriage illegal; and, after
al, Dora might have done worse, for
what Wynn lacked in fortune he partly
supplied in business capacity. While
these thoughts were passing rapidly
through his mind, something else struck
MIR. Blair most uncomfortably. If lie
were to cast off these young people in
anger, might they not in return make
known to all their friends his own ridic-
ulous part in this AFFAIR." Might it not
even come to the ears of the detested
Brooks? This decided him.
This is great disappointment to
me, as You of course must know, Dora, -
he said at last, turning to his compan-
ions, who were awaiting his words in
almost breathleSs suspense. "How-
ever, the deed is done, and | suppose
the most sensible thing is to make the
best of what must consider rather
bad job. promised you py blessing,
Wynn. and you shall have it, upon two
conditions. The first is that you-and
| suppose your wife shall go to China,
as | proposed. -
I'VE are quite willing, sr," the
book-keeper replied eagerly, "And
the second conditionp''
THAT you never, either of you, dis

promoter and instigator of your elope-
ment."
II promise, papa" said Dora.
And so do |, SIR" said the yeung
husband Immediately afterwards.

Antipathies.

Some strange cases of antipathy are
recorded in the lives of eminent men.
Erasmus was made feverish by the
smell of fish. Ambrose Parr had a
patient who would faint at the sight of
an eel, and another who was convulsed
on seeing a carp. Gardan was disgusted
at the sight of eggs. A king of Poland
and secretary of France bled at the
nose when offered apples. A huntsman
in Hanover, who would attack a wild
bear valiantly, ran away or tainted
whenever roast pig was presented to his
view. A person is told of who tainted
whenever he saw a rose, and similar
stories are told of antipathies to lilies
and honey. Tycho Brahe abhorred
foxes, Henry III. of France cats, mice,
spiders, ETC., and Marshal d'Albert
pigs. There was ''once upon time"
lady who could not endure the sight of
silk or satin. The man who would
faint whenever he heard a servant
sweeping is not so much of stranger,
and the one who was similarly affected
by the sound of a bagpipe invites uni
versal sympathy. Boyle was overcome
at hearing the splashing of water.
