We are disposed to doubt the correct
ness Of the telegraphic story that jeff.
Davis said in recent speech that he had
long PRAYED for the death of Grant, and
now his prayers had been realized and
both Lincoln and Grant gone to hell, and
he was glad of it. True, man of some
standing says he heard the words, but let
us hope he was mistaken. We take ii
Davis, though rebel still, is not lost to
sense Of shame. We have never heard it
charged that he is not of gentlemanly
qualities. He has filed high station,
moved in cultured circles, is of fine educa-
ton, has himself been at the head of a
great command, and that such man could
so speak we are unwilling to believe.

A GRAND CATCH WITH Hook AND LINE
An immense tarpon, the largest game fish
ever captured, was exhibited yesterday in
the window of Thomas J. Conroy's fishing
tackle store, No. 65 Fulton street. 1t was
caught at Punta Rassa, Fla, few miles
from Key West. by William H. Wood, a
civil engineer of this city and an expert
angler The fish is six feet five inches in
length, .l6s inches in width, and weighs
40 pounds A 15-thread reel line, hook
with the O'Shaughnessy knob and 3-foot
link chain, and short stiff bamboo rod in
one piece, with 900 feet of line were used.
The fish showed such tremendous strength
that there was great difficulty in Bleaching
it, and this was only accomplished finally
by lifting anchor and allowing it to tow the
boat ashore. The natives use the spear in
fishing fol the tarpon, and regard Mr..
Woods feat as the most extraordinary ex-
plot in the angling line that ever was
known in the vicinity. Mr. Wood enjoys
the additional distinction of being the first
person who ever captured a fish of this
kind with rod and reel. That capture oc-
CURED in March, 1885, and within year,
almost to the day, Mr.. Wood surpasses his
previous achievement by taking the largest
game-fish ever caught.-[New York Times.

The process of steam carpet beating
is not generally understood, some per-
sons having an idea that, by this process,
the carpets are steamed in some way,
and then subjected to a beating that
knocks out the hast particle of dust or
dirt There are several styles of ma
chimes, but the process in all OF them is
entirely free from either of the above
methods.
The carpets are simply placed in a
cylinder twelve feet in diameter and fif-
teen feet long, and 'agitated' until
they are clean. The cylinder is per-
forated, or, more correctly speaking,
there are spaces between the cross bars
constituting the outer part of the cylin
der sufficient to afford thorough ven
tilation to the carpets and allow the
dirt to escape. All the dirt and dust,
as it falls through the openings in the
cylinder, is drawn downward and out
ward by patent suction fan and blown
outside the building. The carpets are
agitated by the revolving of the cylin-
der, till after an hours experience they
are free from dust and moths, and APP
pear like new fabrics. The nap is
raised and frightened, and without
the slightest injury to the most delicate
fabric

The History of a Rose.
IIand and Tvatar J


A very curious story is told as to the
discovery Of the variety Of rose known
as the White Province, La Blanche or
Unique Mr.. Daniel Grimond, of Little
Chelsea, nurseryman, was on business
in the county of Norfolk 10 years ago,
when riding leisurely along the road he
perceived a rose of great whlteness IN a
mill. lie alighted, and on close lnspec-
ton discovered it to be a Province rose.
He sought an interview with the Inmate
of the mill, an elderly woman, and
begged d flower, which was given to
him. The old lady must, no doubt,
have been considerably surprised in be,
ing in turn presented with a guinea.
I'm cutting off the flower" so runs
the tale, +Mr Grimond cut three buds,
and on arriving at the nearest inn he
packed up the flower and sent it di-
rectly to Chelsea, addressed to his fore
man. Two of the buds grew, and
the following autumn the florist went
down to Norfolk again and bought the
whole stock for ) guineas. The fore
man was then allowed to propagate it,
and for doing so was allowed shillings
plant for three years. At the expira-
ton of that time the plants were sold
out at a guinea apiece, the foreman's
share of the profits amounting to
300 pounds sterling. Not the least
pleasant part of this pleasant little
romance of the rose" is the fact that
the old lady who had been he uncon-
scious discoyerer of a grand secret in
horticulture was gratifed by receiving
out of the proceeds of the undertaking
a handsome present, consisting of sill
yer tankard and other plate of the value
of so pounds sterling.

A Theory Conoerning wedIook.

T'Uncle BiII's7 New York Letter.I
A question of religion and marriage
has been raised in society by the theory
of a wealthy father, which he has put
into practice in the case of his daughter,
that wedlock ought to be forbidden to
her sex under % years of age. He
claims Bible backing for his belief that
the marriage state should not be entered
into until the mental and physical de-
velopment is complete. To early mar
riages he attributes much of the family
unhappiness of the world. His girl Is
10. He enters no protest to her be-
trothal, for her choice of husband is
one that pleases him; but he commands,
on pain of disinheritance, that the nup-
tials be deferred seven years. As the
persons are of great account socially the
case is under wide discussion.

Cuban does not put up a sign if he cap

as boot, trunk, or a cigar If words
must be employed it is not an uneom-
mon practice to dash a daub of paint
across the lettering, producing a legal

that can still be deciphered.

Many will be the regrets which will meet
the announcement of the intended removal
from the city of Captain j. j. Parks, of the
law firm of Parks & Peasants. Captain
Parks went west few weeks ago, and was
so impressed with the outlook st Wichita,
Kansas, where many former Rock Island
citizens are located, that he has decided to
make that city his nome, and he is arrang-
ing matters to move there in a very short
time. Captain Parks is one of the most
gifted and successful practitioners at the
Rock Island county bar, has always been
one of the city's most public spirited and
influential citizens. and though be is TO seek
fame and fortune, which he is sure to make
anywhere, elsewhere, be leaves record
which is seldom obtained, and which he may
be proud of.-Rock Island Argus.
Captain Parks reached the city week sgo
with his family and permanently has locsted
in our midst. Coming as he does With such
testimonials rs the above as to character, en-
terprise and abilities, Captain Parks is most
cordially received by our citizens. He has
already opened AT Office in the Temple
building. and offers his professional services

THE EAGLE WINS, AS USUAL.

Yesterday three record books for use in
the county building were received at the
clerks Office from the manufacturers In St.
Louis. A like number were received from
the Eagle bindery, Wichita. The St. Louis
folks proposed to make the books furnished
BY them at q stipulated price. and that II
the Eagle could produce IS good books, re-
gardIess Of price, the county would not be
charged for the books, but would be made
present of them. A disinterested party, o
. gentleman who has been for many years a
book maker, was called in to decide upon
the merits Of the contesting books, and his
unhesitating judgmen: was that the Eagles
work was fully equal to the other in every
particular, and in point Of finish decidedly
superior. We improve the occasion to state
that the Eagle recognizes no superiority
from any quarter in the matter of ruling
binding and printing. individuals, copora-
tons and public officials viii do well to note
this fact
