Dr Wiaholle, Work /.


Dr. Nichols labors with the sick and
afflicted the past seven months have been
remarkably successful. The crowds OF
patients who constantly visit his rooms,
511 Brady street, Davenport. is evidence
Of the truth of our statement. During
his stay the doctor has treated hundreds
of cases of sickness of every kind which
the human family is heir to. He came
here with testimonials by the score, from
the sick and afflicted of other cities,
where he had been located, all of which
have been amply borne out by his resi-
dence in Davenport. The doctor feels
flattered at his remarkable following and
the numerous cures he has effected.

unpa ralleled and matchless musical
events MS the immense Jubilees held in
Boston, the first in 1869, and the second
in 1872. For the first special building
was specially erected, holding 80, 600 au>

chestra of 1000 For the second, O
building accommodating 100 600 persons,
q chorus of 10000 singers, including 30C
societies from all parts of the country
1000 instrumentalists. Among the lat
ter were the crack bands of Germany,
Austria, France, England and Ireland
The solOists were the first the world con
tanned, and there was sub chorus of 25O
picked soloisis. These mammoth events
were visited by large masses of people
from every section of the country, and
their success was simply phenomenal, and
those who attend the concert at Harper's
theatre tomorrow night will have treat
rarely offered to lovers of sweet music in
America.

AT Dubuque, Thursday evening, we'd
ding occurred which will interest all steam
boat men, as well as many outside OF the
craft. The principals to the ceremony
alluded to were, Mr.. 4. M. Dickey, the
popular superintendent of the Diamond
Jo line of steamers, and the gentleman
who has been largely instrumental in
bringing the line to its present magni-
tude, and Miss Nan Ryder, the eldest
daughter of Mr.. Noble G. Ryder. and one
of the most prominent young ladies of
Dubuque. The ceremony was performed
at o'clock by Rev. D. j. Burrill, pastor
of the Second Presbyterian Church, and
in the presence Of only the immediate
relatives OF the family, with the excep-
tiou of Diamond Joe Reynolds, of
McGregor. The happy couple took a
night train for the east on their wedding
trip.

cleared on schedule time at 10 O'Clock

THE LIBERTY PEDESTAL.

New York Commercial Advertiser: Mr..
Richard Butler. secretary of the Bart
hold statue pedestal fund, was asked
this morning how long it would take to
complete the work. ''Mr. King, the
builder, he said, has promised to de-
liver tie remaining stone necessary for
Its completion about the middle of
March. Six courses are yet to be laid,
but as they are of small blocks it will
not take long. l think / may say that
the pedestal will be finally completed
between the. 9Th and 10th of April.
''Have the committee sufficient funds
for this purpose?" 1t is not their ill.,
IGNITION to ask the public for more
money. Such funds as may be needed
Will probably come from other sources
MIR. Butler added that as soon as the
pedestal Was finished the work of the
committee was practically ended
Whether LEY would have the direc
ton Of Tie mounting Of the pedestal
he did not say. This would require all
ao0Iiiouai luLd OF some Slo, 900. 10 " hicl
the government SO far had not contributed
cell, and lie doubted wether it would
be asked to- do 30,
heIerling To the question OF the sta
ue's resistance to the heavy gales and
winds at the height of 3O5 feet, he said
it was still considered an engineering
problem upon which be declined to pro
uonnce an opinion. There would b.
considerable clearing away" to be done
and that would cost some thing. As It
the probable time when the unveIiiug
wei Id take place, he could form no de
fDit estimate.

After-Dinner Poems.

Not much, perhaps, is to be antici-
pated from an after-dinner poem. Its
office is very nearly the same as that of
the bouquets and garlands which adorn
festival. These are expected to look
bright and smell sweet for few hours,
and then to drop to pieces and be
swept away with the other litter of the
banquet A great deal of very cheap
and trivial verse is produced for such
occasions, and has done its duty well
enough if it has made its ten or fifteen
minutes pass pleasantly Sometimes it
will bear showing up in the newspaper
OF the next morning, but if it is to be
read in cold blood it must have some
thing workmanlike in its construction.
A few easily taken puns, new or old, a
few local illusions, a patriotic senti-
ment, a little judicious fattery of the
company, will do well enough, if put
together with very moderate amount
OF skill, to keep in good humor an audi
ence already in the tranquil stage of
digestion and the amiably receptive con-
dition which goes with it.
But there is no reason why one sboul6
not write the verses which are to be re-
cited or sung after a feast or for any
other occasional object, just as well as
If they were suggested by a daisy, or a
mouse, or bed of dafodils, or the read
ing of Chapman's Homer, or stumbling
over broken statue, as Burns, Words
worth, Shelley, Keats, have done. The
accidental cause is not the main thing:
it is the imaginative, or fanciful, or
witty treatment of it which we care for.
