4 Merry Heart.

I'll rather be poor and merry than
inherit the wealth of the Indies
with Il disco ltented spirit. A mer-
ry heart, cheerful spirit, from
which laughter wells mp as natur.
ally as bubble the springs Of Slra-
toga, are worth all the money bags,
stocks and mortgages of the city.
The man who laughs is Il doctor,
with IL diploma indursed bv the
school of nature; Ills face does more
good in II sick room than II pound
of powders or IL gallon Of bitter
dranghtS. If things go right he
laughs, because he is pleased; 1t is
better and cheaper than crying
People are always glad to see him,
their hands inStinctively so hat
way to meet his grasp, while Trey
turn involuntarlly from the clammy
touch Of the dyspeptic, who speaks
OH the grooming key. Ho laughs
you out Of your faults, while you
never dream of being offended by
him, and you never know what u
pleasant world you are living in
until he points out the sunny Streaks
on its pathway. Who can help
loving tn. wIoleSoulel, genial
lauyhtcrg Not the bnffoon, nor the
man who classes noise with mirtl,
but the CHEEKY, cOntented m:n Of
sense and mind. A good-humored
laugh is the key to all breasts
The truth is that people like to be
laughed ut in Il genial sort of way.
If you are making yourself ritlicu-
louS, you want to be ;old oft i'll IL
pleasant manner, not Sneered at
And it is astonishing how frankly
the laughing population can talk
without treading on the Toes Of
their neighiiorS. Why will the peo.
pie put OH long faces, when it IS so
much easier and more comfortable
to laugh! Tears come to It's I'M
sought and uubildcn. The wiscSt
art in life is to cultivate smiles, and
to find the flowers where others
shrink away for fear of thOinS.

Remedy for Chicken Cholera.

The department. of Agriculture
publishes the following remetly,re
commended by DR.. Salmon, for pre-.
venting the destructive disease,
that annually carries off so many
Thousand fowls:
'.For this disease a very cheap
and most effective diSinfectant is a
solution made by adding three
pounds Of sulpIluric acid to forty
gallons of water;(or oDe-fourtll ID.
of suiphuric acid TO three and half
gallons of wafer mixing evenly by
agita;ing or stirring. This may be
applied to small surfaces with Il
watering pot, or to larger grounds
with Il barrel mounted OH wheels
and arranged like a street sprink-
Ter. In disinfecting poultry houses
the manure must be thoroughly
scraped up and removed beyond the
leach of fowls; a slight sprlnkling
is not sufficient, but the floors,
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1885-03-14

roosts, and grounds must BE- thor
ougbly saturated with the solution,
80 that no particle ofllnst, however
small, escapes being wet. 1t is i'm
possible to thoroughly disenfect if
the manure is not removed from the
roostins places. Salph uric acid is
very cheap, costing at retail not
more thin twenty-five or six cents.
The barrel of disinlecting solu-
ton can, therefore, be made for less
than 81, and should be thoroughly
applied. 1t must be remembered,
too, that sulplluric acid isa danger
GUS drug to handle, as when nndi-
luted,it destroys clothing aud clu-
terizes whatever it touches"

The Fourth Judge.

The fourth judge bill, providing for
an extra judge in each judicial district in
Illinois, is a subject of much interest to
the legal fraternity. In referring to the
bill Yesterday, Judge Glenn said he did
not think the bill would pass this session
of the legislature, as SO much other BUSH
ness had to be transacted before the body
adjourned.
In answer to the question do you
think this district requires another
judge?" Mr.. Glenn replied that he did
not. He said Rock Island is the only
county we are behind in. and by little
extra exertion the docket can be cleared
here"
While Judge Glenn did not say he was
adverse to the pending bill, we do moi
think he is an advocate of it. For his
part he appears willing to save the PEG
pie the expense Of an additional judge
1t would be natural if the three presen
ridges were all in favor Of the bill, how
ever, as it would tighten their labors con
! siderably.

RURAL RESORTS.
Black Hawks Tower---Its Attractions,
Advantages and Points OF Interest.

Aside from the beauty of the scenery
around and about the city, Rock Island
is favored with as fine rural resort as
can well be found. The spot in particular
referred to here is Black Hawks watch
tower, situated three miles south OF the
city on the highest bank of Rock river.
This beautiful historic spot, from its
commanding summit, furnishes an unob-|
structed view up and down the valley of
the winding river for many miles, and
across the low lands to the south For
many years. in fact for the last half Gems
fury, this tour has been the admiration of
thousands.
Black Hawks tower was in the early
DAYS of the Indian wars the chosen resort
of the Indian chiefs, after whom it takes
its name II was the great warriors fire.
quent pleasure to visit the spot alone, to
sit by the hour upon the summit and
smoke his pipe and gaze with wonder
and delight upon the grand scenes that
were presented by the suns rays, ever
across the great father of waters"-the
Mississippi. 1t was Black Hawks look
out MONTANA spot which he believed
nature had designed and dedicated to his
express purposes. and he considered it
sacredly his. Thus the appropriateness
of the name given to the interesting
place by the chief himself, and dedicated
to his memory after his death.
The growing interest in the place, and
the yearly increase in the visitors TO the
tower, enticed a movement, some years
since, for the construction of horse and
dummy railroad from the centre of the
city, to the very peak of the tower. The
project was carried out three years since
and for the accommodation of visitors 8
neat pavilion was erected on the tower
Since the completion of the road the tow
er has been the popular resort of residen
and tourist alike. Hardly a day passe
, during the summer that either societ,
, OF picnic party gather there for a day
, pleasure A visitor seldom leaves tn
) city during the summer months withou
visiting the spot.
This season finds the tower and sur
, roundlngs in better condition for picnl
parties than ever before. The pavilio
has been thoroughly repaired painted an
papered and the drives leading to an
from the tower have been improved, tn
fences having been changed, so as nc
only to make more room about the towe
but to give better approach for buggie
