When the civil war broke out he en-
listed into the Union army and rose
from the rank of private to that
of Captain of infantry, When peace
was restored he commenced to study
law, and was admitted to the bar in
1869, serving as States Attorney from
1872 TO 1876. He was Congressman
from the Twentieth Congressional Dis
trict in Illinois, and represented his
district for five terms-longer than any
other man before him, and would have
continued in the representation had
not his health proved n bar. In his
stead George w. Smith, from Jackson
County, was elected last fall. The
unique feature of Thomas career was
that, in spite of Logan's opposition in
that section of the State, where the
"Black Eagle" was most popular, he
always beat Logan's man. In Congress
he served on the Naval Committee,
and lately achieved fame by drawing
plans for submerged war ship.

THE wnECKt

In sight " tho careless passer-bl
Who secs, but not with tho sailors eyo,
Tho wreck lies stranded high and dry.
A noble ship once staunch and strong.
Whose cabins echoed the Joyous song,
Whose deck was trodden by happy throps.
Gone are her towering masts ana spars,
That almost seemed TO reach the stars
Crowned manya time by gallant tars
The battered hull now crushed and thin,
Where tho rising tides rush out and in,
Was built in ocean wars TO win.
Sho fell But not by the hand OF tima
This bark should now he In her prime,
A perfect ship In any cline.
She fell, rs fallcth mortal man,
Who has thwartCd heavens allotted plan
BY the cursed cap-life's poisonous ban.
Two wrecks! ono sinks mid tears and prayers,
But how the useless ships wreck fares
No mortal knows no mortal cares.

From an article by Bishop Hurst under the

before tho Colonial Temperance Congress In

THE NATIONAL DRINK nm,

we came out OF our Civil War with debt
OF W 500 OO0, 900, and we thought that was
terrible. Now, in a time of profound peace,
we are sacrificing every 19 months almost the
cost OF the Civil War in maintaining the IL
quor traffic to reduce our free-born men to q
hopeless slavery.

customers, and on that evening returned
TO Wheeling, making his arrangements to
return with the young lady on Thursday
The young lady informed her relatives
that she intended to accompany a lady
friend TO Bellaire, who intended visiting
relatives in this city. The uncle, think
ing all WAS not as it should be, decided to
take the noon boat for this city also, snd
without changing his clothes left the
house, leaving the young lady under the
impression that he was going II return TO
his work, but iustesd quietly walked down
! to the wharf and back into the engine room
of the steamer and awaited Developments
His eKpecl atoms we're soon realized, for
his niece came tripping down over the
wharf hanging on the arm OF the Pittsburg
masher. They arrived in the CITY, and
registered at one of our leading hotels as
man and wife, where some one gave the
