MARY'S LAMB, MY MARY'S LAMB.

Philadelphia Times.
The partys fate is on thy WOOL
Mary's lamb, my Mary's lamb,
They want to giveit to John Bull,
Mary's lamb my Mary's lamb;
But spite of all across the sea,
Cotswold, Southdown or SaXony,
My soul still clings and turns to thee,
Mary's lamb, my Mary's lamb.
Altho' the world might be thy scope.
Mary's lamb, my Mary's lamb.
They've got you tied down by rope,
Marv's lamb, my Mary's lamb;
But while thy fleece is bought and sold,
At almost weight for weight with gold,
We don't care who's left in the cold,
Mary's lamb my Mary's lamb.
And if thro' coddling by and by,
Marys lamb, my Marys lamb,
It were to chance that thou shouldst die,
Marys lamb, my Mary's lamb.
So dear thy mem'ry TO our hearts
Well keep preserved thy bones and parts
In alcohol used in the arts,
Mary's lamb, my Mary's lamb.

EVIDENCES OF SUCCESS.
A superb Acquisition to Davenport

Ruaineaa l,nlleXe.

A superb Acquisition to Davenport
Enterprise in Mr.. Duncan's New
Business college.
If you desire to see one of the best evil
dences of progress in one of the most de-
sirable directions in Davenport, you can
behold it on East Second street.
1t was published weeks ago that the
whole building-Nos. 112 and ] IA, A feet
wide and 1873 feet deep-had been pur>
chased by j. c. Duncan, and would be
converted into business college, but 1t
is believed that nobody beside the propri.
etor himself had an adequate idea of the
| splendid plans which were to transform
the structure into such perfect institu,
tion for Mr.. Duncan's purpose.
The first floor is the room for more ad.
vanced students. 1t is supplied with the
best furnishments known for the purpose.
1t has its banks, jobbing houses, insur-
ance offices, real estate agencies, railroad
| offices and other establishments in which
practical instruction in business and its
accounts and records is given. In the
southwest front is the private office of
Mr.. Duncan.
On the second floor are apartments for
Mr.. Duncan's family, and also dormi-
| tories for students. This is the front
half. The rear is the school room-in
which the students are properly appor
toned as TO their grade in study. Here
they become proficient in penmanship.
figures, rules of calculation, and such
ground work acquire solid founda>
| ton, as it were.
The third floor is devoted to dormi-
tories. There are no less than II nicely
partitioned rooms on this floor. Furnished
with the conveniences that one looks for
in hotel apartments. What help this is
for students from distance.
Then, too, the dormitories are supplied
with bathrooms, each room supplied
with hot and cold water, and all the ar
engagements perfect. There is not
another business college in the state. or
in the west either, SO complete in its ar
engagements for the welfare of students.
A resident has his feelings of pride
stirred as he walks through this fine en-
terprise. which is such proud evidence

of supplying the youth and young men
with business education. The public
used TO think that his old commercial col
lege was pretty fine affair, but com
pairing it with his new business college is
like comparing the old hall of the Mason
ic lodges with their grand temple.
1t is simply the outgrowth of thorough
work IN the old institution-the reputa-
ton it made gathering in young mer
from all parts of the west. Mr.. Duncan
has six professors-each one eminent il

this grand work

The Uses Of Tissue Paper.

There is no reason why every home
should not be beautiful-be CAV with
flowers-and rendered attractive by the
innumersble little things that can be cas-
lily and quickly made, and for such pur.
pose there is no material at once so effec>
tive and 30 inexpensive as the tissue pa
per which is now SO largely imported into
this country. As for the material itself,
it is probable that very few persons
whose attention has not been particularly
attracted to the subject. have any idea of
the perfection that has been attained in
its manufacture. The colors and shades
of the tissue paper are endless in variety
and the variety of beautiful things tina,
can be easily made of it almost equally
great. Not so elegant. but quite as sur.
prising and perhaps every bit as artistic
are the vegetables which some ingeniut
people form from tissue paper. There
remains one other field in which the USE
of tissue paper has been most successful.
" cultivated. As material for costumes
for fancy dress parties, fairs, etc.. it is
first. very inexpensive, and second, it af'
fords room for every possible variation
and modification suggested by the tasty
the fancy, the ingenuity, or even TIL
within of the wearer. The Fair" ha
just received q full assortment OF tissu,
paper, which is selling at very low

that the report of his conversion could

A NOTABLE NATAL DAY.

Judge Drury celebrates the seventy
nth Anniversary of His Birth at
His Old Farm Jim the Lower End OF
the lCounty.
Judge ]. W. Drury, who has been
spending the past four days in the city,
and at his old farm in Drury township, is
observing the seventY-fifth anniversary of
his birthday there today. Fifty years Of
Judge Drury's life have been spent in
Rock Island and Davenport. 1t was fifty
years ago the past summer that Judge
Drury arrived in Rock Island-which was
then Stephenson-and hung out his
single. He had graduated from Rut-
gers institute and spent three years in
law school. He and Judge Grant, of
Davenport. were admitted to practice in
the courts OF Illinois at Chicago the same
day. Judge Drury had fair success from
the start. In 1S55-just seventeen years

served on the bench until 80. when he
resigned because there was too much hard
work and too little pay. He resumed the
practice of law. The firm of Cook &
Drury in Davenport became noted in Iowa
and Illinois.
The judge retired from active practice
in his profession, about fifteen years ago.
| He was executor of the Clarisss q. Cook
estate of Davenport, and devoted some
time to the settlement of it-for it was
valued at nearly, or quite $500, 600.
Since then he has resided in Chicago, in
California, in Florida, 10 fact has been an
extensive traveller; for his investments
have been fortunate and the Judge il
wealthy. He is genial and active a.
though he were approaching three score
andten from decades distance instead
of having passed it five years sgone
Time has laid Its hand gently on the
judges heart and he can celebrate hi
seventy-fifth birthday with the Joyous
ness Of firm manhood, while his long
time friends will wish him Joy for years
to come.

pany soon after the road made its first
western terminus here, and made connec-
ton with the old Mississippi & Missouri
line. The Democrat Gazette furnishes an
interesting bit of locomotive and rail-
road history in this connection. 1t was
thirty-two years ago the 9th of this
month that trains began crossing the old
railroad bridge on schedule time, and
these locomotives were brought here not
long after that. No. 16, the one alluded
to above, was the only one left that re-
tanned her original shape. She hauled
trains between Chicago and Rock Island
many Yeas. and then was put on the Pc
| oria and Bureau junction run-then on
suburban run out of Chicago. Two years
ago No IS was retired from heavy work,
and was given the easy job of taking the

There was no use trying to restore her

sued. So with No. IS. She took the
Gazelle out OF Chicago last month, and
made the whole run of the main line, the

homeward bound. when between Oska.

Rock Island and Chicago twenty years
For ten years or more he has had the

That is all the work he does.
The successor of No. 16 on the pay cal
run. with John Hill still on the foo
board, will be No. 81. She was a sister o
Nos. 9 and 16. but years ago she was bull
