The lecture given Saturday afternoon
last on the corner of Michigan and Gar
70 streets, by Mr.. Bennett, was a good
one, and was listened to with wrapt at
tention by large gathering. The

nowned people are to be congratulated
upon the favorable impression made, by
their efforts.

meeting last week whereby immediate
action will be taken to make that city
a lake port. a waterway three miles
long 300 feet wide and twenty feet deep
will be constructed and connected with

Monticello, Ind, is having quite a
tussel with the water works question,
which will be voted upon next Monday.
The Press of that little city, has rolled
up its sleeves and is dealing sledge-
hammer blows for this improvement.
How any newspaper man like the editor
of the Democrat, of that place, can
place distractions in the way of grow
ing city like Monticello is beyond the
comprehension of live, energetic bust
ness men. There is no doubt that the
proposition will carry by good major
ity.
Some poor befogged critter started
home last Saturday night about ten
o'clock, and gave an exhibition on South
Michigan street. He came down the
street at two-forty pace, throwing out
signals of distress all along the line, in
the shape of bottles of medicine" un-
derwear and lastly his hat. After reach
ing the suburbs, he succeeded in stop.

enlisting the service of several boys to
find his lost property. He was unable
to recover the various articles, and was
compelled to go home without them and
during his sober moments, reflect over
the loss sustained.

sons of modest wants. When they take
a notion to marry they write to matri-

the greatest river in the world-the

There is nothing which adds so much
to the beauty and power of man, as a
good moral character. 1t is his wealth.
his infuence-his life. 1t dignifies him
in every station, exalts him in every
condition, and glorifies him at every
period of life Such character is more
to be desired than everything else on
earth. 1t makes man free and indie
pendent. No servile -croaking

but knew how much good character
would dignity and exult them, how
