VICTIMS OF RUM.
Liquor Causes the Death of Many Citizens il
the Vicinity OF Belvidere.

BELvIDEBE, Ill.-Rum is doing its work
in Belvidere. john F. Rogers, q farmer
living six miles south of this city, died
Tuesday from the direct effects of liquor.
He leaves a wife and several small chill
dren. This evening the streets are all in
a commotion over the sensational death
of James Crawford, a saloon keeper. Mr..
Crawford had been drinking with Chap
pei, painter, and it is understood they
took a dose of choral to quiet their
nerves. Whatever it was, both fell insen-
sible inside of ten minutes, Crawford dy-
ing before a physician could be sum
moned, and after a hard struggle Chap
pels life has beeD saved. Mr.. Crawford
wife has lain at the point of death for
over week. 1t is feared that this blow
will kill her. This makes the sixth death
in almost as many weeks il this vicinity
due almost directly to liquor.

THE FARM AND HOME.
THE DAUGHTER.
CHAMBER s JOURNAL

Ny little daughter grows apace;
Her dolls are now quite out of date:
II seems that must take their place.
We have bee Jme such friends of late,
We might be ministers Of State,
Discussing projects Of great peril.
Such strange new queStioningS dilate
The beauty Of my little girl
How tall she grows! What subtle grace
Doth every movement animate;
With garments gathered for the race
She stands q goddess slim and straight,
Young ArtemiS. when she was eight
Among the myrtle bloom and laurel
doubt if she could more than mate
The beauty Of my little girl.
The baby passes from her face,
Leaving the lines more delicate,
Till in her features can trace
Her mothers smile, serene, sedate
lis something at the hands of fate,
To watch the onward years unfurl
Each line which goes to consecrate
The beauty of my little girl.

NOTES AND COMMENTS,

The "original Harrison man ="
continues to drop in on the General
two or three times day.-Cincinnat
Enquirer.
-Chandler's idea of naval admin
istration is millions for repairs, for
rings and for unseaworthy hulks, but
not a cent for ship that can float or
fight. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Senator Chambers bill making
a s., 900, 900 appropriation for rams is
probably intended as a recognition of
the services of the sheep who turned
out so numerously and voted for pro-
lection in the recent election. Boston

If some of the millionaires who

fessors, they would not be as happy as
they might be.-Providence Or. IL

The work of building a navy

Baby's Sleeping Time.

[ wonder if all mothers know that
baby likes to be turned over after he
has slept for an hour or two on one
side? When he stretches and wrig-
giles, and finally, perhaps, cries out,
try turning him on his other side, or
almost on his back, and see if he does
not relapse into another sound nap
without further effort on your part
Do not forget to turn the pillow over
also sometimes. The one or two-year-
old who wakes in the night and sits up
in bed, rubbing his little fists into his
sleepy eyes, feels, perhaps, hot and
uncomfortable. Try turning the pill
low. If he is like some children the
writer knows of, he will wait for the
sound of the turning pillow and then
drop back on it into a renewed sleep.
Remember also to keep child's
clothes smooth under him. Drawing
down the rumpled night-clothes and
smoothing the cover has much to do
with quieting the restless tossings of
the little sleeper.

THE HARTFORD HORROR.

The Body of Night Clerk Perry Recovered
The Injured Victims Doing Well as
Could be Expected.
HARTFORD, Conn, Feb. 20.-The work Of
excavating at the Park Central ruins has
been vigorously prosecuted to-day, and
more effectively than hitherto. The streets
on both sides of the ruins are crowded.
but special policemen keep the people
from interfering with the work. No bodies
were found beyond those already report
ed until about ten O'Clock this morning,
when one was discovered which from it's
location close by the safe, is undoubtedly
Night-Clerk Perry. A great mass OF de-
bris is yet to be overhauled. Many peo-
pie think that more bodies will be
found, as no other persons are
reported missing, but others ex-
pect to find more, as the hotel was
reported full. AT the hospital to-day the
ten patients taken from the ruins are do
ing as well as could be expected, and no
serious results are expected with any
of them. The funeral Of Dwight II. Buell.,
the jeweler, was held this morning at the
house of his brother-in j. G. Rath-
bone. DIR. and Mrs. Perrin will be buried
Tomorrow, at 1880, in New Britain.
President Dwight, of Yale, and others, will
oficiate.
ia. M.-The body supposed to be that
of Perry has been taken to the morgue.
His father and brother, of Holyoke, Mass,
are here to take charge of it.

BLOODY-SHIRT POLITICS.
A Bugaboo Which No Longer Frightens
Intelligent Persons.

n l5uSaDoo Which No Longer FriShtens
Intelligent Persons.
The Republican Senators have ap-
parently lent themselves to William
+. Chambers scheme to revive the
bloody-shirt discussion as means of
securing his reelection from New
Hampshire.
They consent to this new crusade
the more readily because they think it
will serve to divert the attention of
the country from the question of over
taxation and from the bulwarking of
monopolies to which the Republican
party is committed by its bargain with
the beneficiaries of the tariff who sup
piled the fiat " that carried the cleo
ton. 1t was during the bloody-shirt
agitation in the past that the Repub-
lican spoilsmen had some of their best
years of picking and stealing, and they
no doubt hope for similar oppor-
tunity behind the same emblem now.
But they are ten years too late. The
country knows that the South is more
peaceful and prosperous, that its local
governments are UNNECESSARILY better,
and that the elections in the Southern
States are far more free and fair than
was the case either under the carpet
bag era or in the eight years folio W.
ing the great fraud Of 1876, during
which period a few restless dema-
gogues kept alive the sectional agita-
ton while the two Republican admin
istrations did absolutely nothing to as
sist them.
1t is too late to talk of force. Gen
eral Harrison is not "a bigger man
than Grant" He is not a better SOL
der than Hayes. He is not a more
stalwart Republican than was Arthur.
What these men failed to do General
Harrison can not accomplish. The
Republican party can not carry cleo
tions in the South upon the color line,
nor expect to hold it's strength there
without organization, money or effort.
Living questions will dominate poll.
tics in spite of the attempted diversion.

BEADING FOR THE YOUNG.
A CH,LD'S MISTAKE.

Said dear little girl, and heard her myself,
AS she reached for book on the very top shelf:
'How wish might live like the birds and the
flowers,
With nothing to do through the beautiful hours;
Or else like the sun, that has only to shine,
Or dance with the shadows that hide in the
vine!
But no! Unjust study from morning to night.

write.

There was heard quick furry of wings over
From an army of birds; and, as southwark they

Came, clear as a bugle, the leader-birds song:

And, born in the purple, we royalty spend
Our fragrance in blessing. until our lives end.

FrankneSs.

Frankness may be to mans credit,
and again it may not be. 1t is to a
mans credit to be frank in his out
spoken sympathy and tenderness and
assurances of approval, as it is for him
to be frank in his admission of wrong
when he has been at fault, and there
is proper time for such admission.
But it is not to a mans credit to be
frank in his outspoken censure of
others, or in expression of his dislikes
ON every side; nor yet is it to his credit
that he tells freely of his evil courses
without any show of shame for his
transgressions. Yet frankness is more
likely to be shown On the wrong side
than on the right; and the person who
boasts himself of his frankness is COM
monty the one who ought to be ashamed
that he is so franks. s. Times.
